Chapter 46: Vacation!

--- Chapter 45 ---

Nine months passed after Yu Long's grandparents came to the Yu Clan.

Many things happened.

The more valuable thing was the discovery of unorthodox Profound aspects. Unlike the orthodox ones, they have deviated from the same roots but took another path to step in.

And there are also variant bloodlines, which strengthen people on his side.

Yu Long also became closer to his grandparents as they'd visit him and spar occasionally. They are too dotting for his liking, but he couldn't blame them for behaving so.

For them, he was the 'greatest' prince the Eternal Night Royal Family could ever have.

However, their excessive dotting also led them to discover his relationship with several ladies. They were surprised to see five young, beautiful ladies on his side.

That's being Xia Qingyue, Yume, Lily, Hong Guan, and Yuyan.

They understood Xia Qingyue and Yume for being close to him as they were looking around his age. Nevertheless, Lily, Hong Guan, and Yuyan make them believe they have more of an 'adult' taste in women.

Xu Sanshan teased Yu Long for having this many women and said he was a dragon among men.

Overall, Yu Long's situation is much better than before.

The decent organization he built started to take a 'greater' shape. It is just a matter of time before Shadow Realm reaches what the Four Great Sacred Grounds can't, which is entering the upper realm!

Yu Long's strength and understanding, in a profound way, improved by a leap. His loved ones also become more powerful, increasing their chance of survival in this cruel Cultivation World.

Life is good, for sure.

...

Blue Wind Empire, Silver Lake City.

Located on the eastern side of the Blue Wind Empire, Silver Lake City is a big-sized city near a massive lake that reflects silverish light every night.

For anyone else, this place is an enjoyable spot to visit because many businesses and entertainment industries were 'purposely' built here.

However, they didn't know that Silver Lake City is Shadow Realm's 2nd base. Four years ago, Silver Lake City was just your average city with no attraction besides its slightly bigger lake, but now it's one of the 'biggest' supplies in the Blue Wind Empire.

Even people from the neighboring empires visited this city sometimes to relax and enjoy themselves with their families. Well, nobles and profound practitioners are the most frequent visitors.

Several people in black robes sat around a round table. They are currently discussing in a horribly-lighted room. Beside their voices, one could barely see their appearances.

"I heard Lord Shadow is going to visit Silver Lake City..." The voice of a woman destroyed the silence.

"W-Wait, what? But he never did this before?" In a somewhat panicked voice, a male reacted.

"Did we do something wrong?"

"Something, there must be something..."

"Yeah, there must be a reason behind his visit!" Some Shadow Agents are discussing between themselves.

"What if he just wants to visit for a holiday?" Someone raised his tone slightly.

"ARE YOU DUMB!" The female voice in the beginning shouted.

"LORD SHADOW ISN'T THAT SIMPLE!"

"HOW COULD HE SIMPLY VISIT THIS PLACE FOR VACATION! HIS ACT CAN'T BE THAT SHALLOW!"

In a mere four years, they would be an adult.

"Ah, this..." Xia Qingyue felt touched in her heart. She lost her mother at a young age, so Yu Xin's words meant a lot to her.

She glanced at Yu Long and found him very handsome. If possible, she doesn't want to get separated from him.

She breathed in and whispered back, 'M-Mother...'

"Awww~!" Yu Xin's smile widened even further.

Yu Zhan watched this sight and sighed inside. Wife, aren't you who told Brother Xia and Me not to meddle with Xia Qingyue's decision?

'Aih, the situation changed much in less than two years.' Yu Zhan smiled while shaking his head.

Xia Qingyue hasn't returned to the Floating Cloud City for 21 months. Yu Zhan couldn't help but feel bad for Xia Hongyi.

'Sorry, Brother Hongyi. But we will be a big family in the future.'

Unaware of his father's thoughts, Yu Long yawned and saw a nice-looking lake from the carriage's window. Not far away, he could see a big city surrounded by white stone walls.

'Lord Shadow, we will arrive at Silver Lake City in five minutes.' The driver, also a Shadow Agent, said to Yu Long with sound transmission.

Yu Long rolled his eyes, 'I can see that.'

'Just keep driving.'

'Yes, Lord Shadow!' The driver responded enthusiastically.

Five minutes later.

Their carriage entered the Silver Lake City's main gate.

Several people on the street are looking at them because the guards are opening the main gate grandly for them.

Yu Long ignored them and checked Silver Lake City's condition. Upon entering the city, he saw a clean road made of paved black stones.

Cuntless tall buildings with unique styles stood firmly above the ground, which were 'systematically' built based on the protection array drawn under them.

The atmosphere is lively but not too crowded. It fits Yu Long's liking when on vacation.

They went to the hotel near Silver Lake to give its visitors a pleasant scenery at night. No, even at noon, this view looks just as fine.

A beautiful attendant hurriedly walked toward the carriage and politely opened the carriage's door. "Esteemed Guests, welcome to the Silver Moon Hotel."

Yu Long's mouth twitched when he realized this beautiful attendant was none other than the top Shadow Phantom in the Shadow Realm.

'Aren't you the person who is responsible for Silver Lake City? When did you become an attendant?' Yu Long was speechless.

No matter how he sees it, doesn't this draw attention to them?

'Lord Shadow. Just relax, leave the rest to me!' The beautiful attendant winked at him.

'Don't wink at me, you-!' Yu Long cursed inwardly.

Sometimes, he regretted making Shadow Realm with his cringe goal and method in the past.

"Hehe, thank you." Yu Xin didn't notice anything weird and walked out of the carriage. Everyone followed as Yu Long gave the attendant a blank look.

Yu Long expected bizarre things would happen from now on.
