An Ancient Race.

The three of them walked out right away from the store.

Without any delay, Yao Yin took the initiative to lead the way as that was their original plan.

Few hours had passed by, and they had already visited many stores and restaurants. They even went to nice and pleasant places like a flower garden, a water park, and some other places.

A few dozen minutes later, as they were casually walking around the city, Shu Haoyu suddenly took out the token that Xia Ling Long had handed to him earlier.

He glanced at the token and was a little impressed by its design and shape. Golden in color with a rectangular shape, the token had a dragon carved on the top of it that made it look very majestic.

“Based on the looks of it alone, it is definitely not an ordinary token, but the way she just gave it to me so casually means she is not an ordinary person either,” he thought.

“Yao Yin, do you know what this Myriad Golden Token is for?” he suddenly asked Yao Yin.

Heard Shu Haoyu’s question, Yao Yin shook her head.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know about this token either. I have never seen such a token before,” she replied with a serious expression.

Shu Haoyu’s face turned a little bit disappointed before saying, “Ohh.”

Mei Qi, who noticed the sudden change in Haoyu, tried to cheer him up.

“Don’t worry, young master. I’m sure this token must have its own uses! Just look at the token, it even has a dragon carved on it. I’m sure it’s a super rare one! That’s why even Young Lady Yao Yin herself didn’t know anything about that token!” she said.

“That’s right, Haoyu. If this is really a special token that only certain people possess, then it would be natural for me to have never seen or heard anything about this one,” Yao Yin expressed her thoughts as a sign that she agreed with Mei Qi.

Shu Haoyu, who has been looking at the token this whole time, suddenly asks Yao Yin and Mei Qi if they know anything about the Dragon Clan. Yao Yin says that no one has ever seen a dragon before, so no one knows whether they truly exist or not. Mei Qi, who loves to read, naturally knows one or two things regarding the Dragon Clan.

“The Dragon Clan? From what I know, they’re a powerful race that has existed since ancient times. In the records that I used to read, they live in an isolated space that was called the Dragon Realm. However, the same as Young Lady Yao Yin, neither I know if it truly exists or is just a legend,” she said.

A moment later, Yao Yin turned completely astonished by Mei Qi.

“Whoa~, you really have knowledge about the Dragon Clan. Perhaps… are you a dragon yourself?” she said before laughing loudly.

Mei Qi shook her head and said, “What nonsense is Young Lady Yao Yin talking about, huh?”

Yao Yin didn’t mind her and continued to laugh. Luckily, there was nobody near them. Otherwise, there would definitely be a lot of people staring and looking at them.

“Geez, these two girls. They were simply too effervescent!” Haoyu said inwardly.

Looking at Mei Qi, “This girl… I wonder what kind of books she used to read to even know about the Dragon Realm,” he thought.

“It seems that the dragon does exist in this world too. Back in my past life, the Dragon Clan was a powerful race that did not affiliate with the outside world. They rarely went out to the outside world and only resided in their own realm. Because of this fact, it makes me wonder if there is a hidden history behind the Dragon Clan and the myriad store,” he pondered.

In order to answer his own question, he decided to gather information. But one thing is, he didn’t know where he should start. That was until he suddenly remembered Ji Yao.

“Ji Yao! Perhaps she might know about the Dragon Clan!” he accidentally blurts out.

Yao Yin’s face changes color. She suddenly asks, “Huh, Ji Yao? Who is this Ji Yao? Why have I never heard about this person? Don’t tell me you’re cheating on us?”

Shu Haoyu’s expression suddenly changes. His heart shakes and his face is full of sweat.

How can he accidentally blurt that out?

Ji Yao’s existence cannot be revealed this early! It was supposed to be a secret!

At this moment, he feels a chill come over him.

“W-why don’t you calm yourself down first? I-I’m not cheating with both of you!” he stutteringly replies.

“Oh, then why are you stuttering, huh?” Yao Yin says with a wicked smile.

As Yao Yin speaks, her eyes are locked on Haoyu.

Haoyu turns completely blank. He doesn’t know how to answer that question.

“L-listen! I-I have just woken up, haven’t I? How could I be cheating with both of you!” he says as he finally manages to think of something acceptable.

“Hmm~, that actually makes sense. Fine, I will just let it slip away. Hmph!!” she pouts in a cute way.

“Phew! I’m saved!” he says inwardly.
