Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 21: If Emperor Ruò Qiányuan wants to kill me, can you ensure my safe departure from this place?

"Young master, do you really not need Lóng Zhǐ to accompany you on this journey?"

In the inn,

A small snake wrapped around Bai Yu's arm, its cold voice seemingly filled with a hint of reluctance.

Time passed quickly,

In the blink of an eye, it was the highly anticipated day of the imperial examination.

The shopkeeper Lǐ, who had bought Bai Yu's three strategies, also made good use of this time and launched a student promotion day for these few days.

During the imperial examination, all scholars who stayed and dined here enjoyed a 30% discount. The inn was decorated with lights and decorations to offer blessings, and advertisements claimed that a top scholar had once consumed here...

For a while, it became quite lively,

Attracting countless scholars to come and spend here.

Scholars have ink in their bellies and can speak eloquently!

The shopkeeper Lǐ's preferential treatment naturally won their favor,

They generously praised and composed poems, further intensifying the publicity.

The popularity of the Flavorful Tavern, in just a few days, surpassed the previously dominant Lìyáng Restaurant.

These few days, the old man smiled until the corners of his mouth cracked.

Indeed, spending a hundred gold coins to buy such a talented genius was truly a wise move!

Moreover, he had a faint feeling,

That the phrase "a top scholar had once consumed here"...

Perhaps it was not just a fabricated false advertisement used to attract customers.

In another couple of months...

It might become a reality!

The carp leaps over the dragon gate, and the dragon and tiger emerge from the mountain forest.

The shopkeeper Lǐ had never seen Mr. Bai like this before...

That gaze, as bright as the sun, and the young man who spoke eloquently were like a brand imprinted in his mind.

Leaving a particularly deep impression on him!

Compared to other scholars, there is clearly a distinction between the two levels.

...

And today is the deadline.

The students are anxious as they rush to the examination hall.

Among them is Bai Yu.

During this period of time,

Bai Yu doesn't seem as nervous as the other candidates.

Instead, he wanders around with Long Zhi, investigating the structure and geographical information of Lietian City.

Now that it's the day of the exam, he remains calm.

He gently pokes Long Zhi's head and smiles, saying, "The examination hall is heavily guarded, so I won't take you there."

"Long Zhi has her own way of evading the search!"

After cultivating for a thousand years and becoming a dragon demon cultivator, can she still not escape the search of mortals?

Although two months is nothing compared to the thousand-year lifespan of a dragon, unconsciously,

Long Zhi seems to have gotten used to nestling in Bai Yu's arms, feeling his breath and heartbeat.

Feeling the comforting aura emanating from him.

When they are suddenly separated, she feels a bit uncomfortable.

"Be good and cultivate well!"

Bai Yu gently shakes his head, rejecting her, and points to the silly Hong Ling beside him, saying, "You stay here and watch over Hong Ling."

"I will come back soon."

Although feeling a bit disappointed, the dragon girl obediently nods, "Okay."

However, then,

Bai Yu seems to have thought of something and asks Long Zhi, "Long sister, if Emperor Qianyuan wants to kill me, can you ensure my safe evacuation from this place?"

Clearly, he is a scholar about to take the imperial examination and become an official.

But when it comes to the current emperor, there is no trace of respect whatsoever.

It seems like we're just talking about an equal person.

"Hmm?"

Long Zhi was taken aback, not expecting Bai Yu to ask such a question.

She thought for a moment and nodded gently, "Yes!"

Under the holy land of the imperial capital, there were hidden undercurrents,

Gathering the veins of the country, the convergence of dragon energy,

In fact, there were also talented individuals and extraordinary people,

During the few days she had been wandering around with Bai Yu, she had actually sensed many strange auras in various directions.

If Long Zhi were to assassinate the king, it would probably be extremely difficult,

And even if she succeeded,

She would have to bear the karma of an entire dynasty.

It would be enough to destroy her cultivation of a thousand years.

However,

If she were to just escape with Bai Yu, then there would be no problem.

She had confidence in this!

Perhaps there were many talented individuals and monsters in this place...

But she was not weak either!

She had cultivated in seclusion for thousands of years, becoming a dragon fairy bathed in the ninefold purple thunder!

If she wanted to leave, she could go anywhere in the world!

"Alright then, I'll be relieved!"

Bai Yu smiled, "Having Sister Long by my side really makes me feel secure."

"Um..."

Hearing the young master's direct praise and reliance on her,

The little snake shook her head and inexplicably felt a bit dizzy.

Unconsciously sticking out her tongue, her voice seemed to carry a hint of joy.

Then,

Continuously asking, "Why does the young master ask this?"

The young master is going to take the imperial examination and become an official. Why would he worry about the emperor wanting to kill him?

"How about I go with the young master!" She said with some concern.

"Hey! It's alright."

"Before people take action, they always need to leave themselves a way out!"

"If Sister Long can protect me, then I can act more freely and casually... Otherwise, I'll have to be more cautious."

Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand,

Then, he stepped out of the door.

"Mr. Bai, you will definitely pass the imperial examination!"

After leaving the house and going downstairs,

The shopkeeper Li saw Bai Yu all dressed up and kept wishing him loudly.

His tone was particularly confident.

This scholar was too young and his temperament was somewhat careless and frivolous.

But he knew that this person was extraordinary!

"Hahaha, thank you for your kind words, Shopkeeper Li!"

Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, then stepped out of the door.

...

Inside the inn room, everything returned to calm,

The little chicken lay quietly on the table.

The little snake, however, felt lost, looking in the direction the young master had left, longing in its eyes.

And behind her,

A graceful figure appeared and disappeared.
