Chapter 89: Arriving at the Imperial Capital

A pair of jade arms wrapped around Su Yun.

Su Yun was taken aback and turned to look at the figure behind him.

"What were you just thinking about, Brother?" Little Fairy's watery eyes carried a hint of shyness as she looked straight at Su Yun.

Su Yun felt warmth in his heart. Little Fairy was becoming more and more considerate.

Turning around, Su Yun embraced Little Fairy affectionately.

Meanwhile, Haibodong sighed and took Qing Lin, walking to the side.

"Kids, don't watch," Haibodong said.

Unable to resist, Qing Lin turned her head for a glance, seeing the two embracing figures.

Little Fairy and Young Master looked shy.

A blush spread across Qing Lin's face, and she followed Haibodong to admire the scenery.

As the gentle breeze passed by, Haibodong's gaze turned deep as he looked towards the direction of the Tagore Desert.

...

Xiao Lan's flying speed was not particularly fast, and they stopped in some cities along the way to rest.

While Haibodong and Su Yun didn't mind due to their profound cultivation, Little Fairy and Qing Lin couldn't go without eating, sleeping, and resting for several days.

After a few days, the four of them finally arrived at the Imperial Capital.

Haibodong instructed Xiao Lan not to stop at the city gate but to fly directly to the Mittel Family.

The Imperial Capital prohibited private flying beasts from flying in the sky, but this rule only applied to those without a background.

As a former top ten powerhouse of the Gamara Empire, Haibodong sneered at such regulations.

Su Yun wanted to keep a low profile, but considering the tasks ahead, which would likely bring him fame throughout the Gamara Empire, he saw no need to be discreet. Moreover, with his current strength and Haibodong by his side, there was no need for excessive caution.

Xiao Lan flew to the gates of the Mittel Family, immediately attracting the attention of the guards.

"Who goes there!"

Two guards looked wary, staring at the group.

Haibodong leaped off Xiao Lan's back.

Seeing the alert guards, a smile crossed his face.

Alertness was good; it meant that the Mittel Family had been managed well in his absence.

Su Yun then successively helped Little Fairy and Qing Lin down from Xiao Lan's back, smiling at Haibodong.

"Old Hai, it's been decades since you've been back. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the Imperial Capital who recognize you anymore."

Haibodong snorted, not dignifying Su Yun's banter with a response.

This kid, his verbal skills were as strong as his talent.

Haibodong ignored the guards, and his frigid Dou Qi emanated, condensing behind him into a pair of Dou Qi wings!

A Dou King powerhouse!

A hint of shock flashed in the guards' eyes, and their legs trembled.

If Su Yun knew what they were thinking, he would probably mock Haibodong again.

Look at this, the dignified Ice Emperor Haibodong is mistaken for a Dou King.

Ignoring the guards, Haibodong's aura suddenly surged, gathering at his throat.

"Mittel Tengshan, come out to me!"

With his entire aura released, not only the Mittel Family, but probably all the strong individuals in the Imperial Capital could sense it.

Su Yun smiled faintly; it was evident that his words had provoked Haibodong.

This action was a declaration to the Gamara Empire that this former legendary Dou Emperor had returned!

As Su Yun had expected, several powerful auras quickly sensed Haibodong's outburst and rushed over.

After a moment, a figure dashed out from the Mittel Family.

It was an old man with white hair, his face showing signs of age and a hint of dignity from his high position.

The old man's expression was excited, his hands trembling as he looked at Haibodong.

"Is it really you, Old Hai?"

"Hmph, what's this? After decades, you don't recognize me?" Haibodong crossed his arms, clearly feeling annoyed.

"How, how could I not recognize you? Even if you turned to ashes, I, Tengshan, would still recognize you."

"Pfft."

Beside Su Yun, Qing Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

For a moment, all eyes were on her.

Qing Lin covered her mouth with her small hand, her little melon-seed face blushing like a ripe apple, hiding behind Su Yun.

Su Yun gently patted Qing Lin's head with his large hand, also smiling.

"Old Hai, don't argue with the kids. Qing Lin didn't mean it."

This Mittel Tengshan was quite interesting, but he was probably in for some trouble.

Haibodong's face turned grim as he glared fiercely at Qing Lin.

This girl, I've been so good to her.

The old man in question was obviously Mittel Tengshan.

Mittel Tengshan's face was full of bitterness, realizing he had misspoken.

"Old Hai..."

"Tengshan, it's been many years. I wonder how much progress you've made in strength. Let's have a little practice." Haibodong's expression was indifferent, his tone calm.

But anyone could hear the coldness in his words.

That girl Qing Lin has that kid to protect her, so I can't do anything to her, but can't I still deal with you?

Mittel Tengshan's smile became even more bitter.

After welcoming the four of them, Mittel Tengshan was dragged away by Haibodong.

Soon after, two bursts of aura erupted, and cries for mercy followed.

"How dare you hide! You've gone too far!"

"Old Hai, ah... have mercy, Old Hai!"

"I don't know when I'll turn to ashes, but if I don't turn you into ashes today, my name isn't Haibodong!"

In the courtyard, Su Yun watched this comical scene and couldn't help but laugh.

These two have been friends for many years, so the probability of turning each other to ashes is not very high.

But this Mittel Tengshan happened to have gotten himself into trouble.

Su Yun looked at the four figures nearby, who were also observing the situation.

Using soul perception, Su Yun clearly discerned the aura fluctuations of these four individuals.

Two Dou Emperors and two Dou Kings.

However, one of the Dou Kings' aura seemed unstable, as if there was something wrong with his body.

Su Yun smiled inwardly and turned back into the house.

Haibodong looked at the bruised and swollen Mittel Tengshan, flexed his wrist, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Since regaining his strength, this was the first time he had felt so refreshed after a fight.

Before, when he went to the Beast Mountain Range with Su Yun, he didn't even have the chance to make a move.

Haibodong slightly tilted his head and looked towards the distant figures.

"Alright, since you're here, come over. Do I have to invite you?"

Haibodong crossed his arms, his face expressionless.

At his words, the four figures on the roof, their Dou Qi wings manifesting, arrived beside Haibodong and Mittel Tengshan in just a few seconds.

"Ice Old Man, it's been decades since we last met, hasn't it?" one of the old men smiled.

"Yeah, it's been decades. How come you're still not dead?" Haibodong replied indifferently.

"Hehe."

The old man didn't get angry at Haibodong's words, just chuckled.

Clearly, he understood Haibodong's temperament very well.

This old man was the president of the Gamara Empire's Alchemist Guild, a fifth-grade alchemist named Fa Ma.

"Your verbal skills are as sharp as ever," Fa Ma said, stroking his beard.
