Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Chapter 114 Curious Baby Xiaoran

Outside, the setting sun casts an orange-red glow, painting the buildings and streets of Nakapo Ward red.

Min Moyou thought it was morning, but after leaving the Dragon Realm, a paradise on earth, he realized that quite some time had passed in the outside world, and it was probably evening now.

That makes sense. With so many people working in shifts, it's impossible that only a few hours had passed between Yu Bing falling asleep and waking up from exhaustion.

The summoned banners fluttered, and Minmo You released a sense of awakening and tranquility.

Wow~ Is this the outside world?!

Xiao Ran's memories are still stuck decades ago, and she has been trapped in the Wuli District her whole life, never having seen what Nakaura Ward was like in this era.

Everything here was new and interesting to Xiaoran.

That's why they released her, and Xiao Ran burst into joyful amazement at everything before her.

As commuters came and went on the street, many pedestrians were drawn to Xiaoran's loud shouts. Moreover, Xiaoran's antique and elegant attire, adorned with a unique wing-like design, made him stand out from the crowd and naturally attracted attention.

Fortunately, Min Moyou was by her side. Under the influence of her "noble bloodline," the passersby immediately greeted Min Moyou with sincere smiles and withdrew their strange gazes, ignoring all of Xiao Ran's odd behavior.

"So? So!? Can I go play now?!"

Xiao Ran looked at Min Moyou, a sweet smile blooming on her face, but her eyes were filled with bitter tears...

Her lifelong dream, cherished for two lifetimes, is finally about to come true today?!

The moment she woke up, she felt a powerful force surging within her, but she didn't care.

power?

what?

What we want is freedom! Freedom, freedom!!!

She's desperately wanting her freedom!

In fact, she could have easily run away; with her current strength, Min Moyou couldn't stop her at all.

But a voice inside her told her she couldn't do it, whether out of her conscience or subconsciously because she regarded Min Moyou as the most noble person in her heart.

Having craved freedom twice in her life without success, Xiaoran could be described as rebellious at heart. She keenly sensed that she was bound by some kind of constraint, unable to disobey the great banner that commanded her, unable to harbor any thoughts of betraying the man before her...

Sigh... perhaps this is the price to pay...

I just hope he can keep his promise...

"I'm sorry, I might have to wait. I need your strength right now."

I promised to give her the greatest possible freedom, but when I released her, in front of her longing eyes, I had to first refuse her steps towards freedom...

Min Moyou was a little embarrassed.

"As expected..."

The light in Xiaoran's eyes gradually dimmed...

Having lived three lifetimes, I still haven't achieved freedom...?

No, perhaps the limit is a bit too high.

When they were still alive at the beginning, they could only survive by being trapped on the painted boats and performing there.

After death, it transforms into an obsession, which can then appear at will in every corner of the entire Linglong Pavilion Dragon Domain.

Now that this man has brought me back to life, at least he's willing to take me out and go shopping...

Oh well, at least there's been some progress.

Seeing Xiao Ran's utterly despondent expression tugged at Min Moyou's heartstrings, but with no one else available, the usually prudent Min Moyou wasn't confident in venturing into the Dragon Realm on her own.

"Don't be like that, Xiaoran, you've misunderstood..."

Min Moyou gently stroked her cheek, his warm large hand holding her cold, trembling small hand—although Xiaoran was a soul, due to her greatly increased strength, her soul was incredibly solid, so much so that even ordinary humans could see and touch it.

He soothed her gently:

"Once you've helped me with this, I'll give you a break. You can go wherever you want, or you can have fun with me."

Min Moyou took out a brand new rose gold tri-folding spirit pupil and handed it to her, helped her register an account, and transferred one billion Nine-Fang coins into it.

"This is compensation for you—if you want to travel around, you need money on you, right? Or if you want to live another life, would you like to experience the life of earning money by singing first?"

Xiao Ran nodded, agreeing with what Min Moyou said, then shook her head:

"I've sung enough of that in my past life..."

"Right? So, don't rush off to play yet. Do me a favor first. I'll prepare the things you need to integrate into this society, like Nine-Square Coins, and this square thing I have here called Little Spirit Eye."

"Equivalent exchange, that makes perfect sense, right?"

Xiao Ran took the small spiritual pupil from Min Moyou, touched and looked at it, and nodded in approval.

"Correct."

"So...? What is this cube called Little Spirit Eye...?"

"It's a communication tool. I've already registered an account for you, and I'll have someone take care of your identity issues."

"A communication tool...? This little thing isn't easy to write with a brush, is it? It's also heavy, much more difficult to use than letter paper..."

Xiao Ran has a strong sense of curiosity; if you don't satisfy her curiosity first, she probably won't be able to focus on anything else.

Min Moyou had no choice but to teach her how to play with the Little Spirit Eye first.

"See that? Here, press it..."

Wow! It's lit up!

"Yes, that's right. We can slide our finger across it and tap the icons..."

Wow! This is so much fun! It's amazing!

"Let's go to settings first, and set a lock screen password for you, using fingerprint or facial recognition... then turn off the screen..."

"Wow! It recognized me after just one photo?! Now its face lights up when it sees me! Is there a little person living inside it?! Is it a pet?! So much fun~"

"...This is a tool, not a pet, and there are no little people inside. Okay, let's go to this messaging app now... Come on, add me as a friend, and you can use this to send me messages, emojis, voice messages, make phone calls, video calls, and so on..."

"Wow~"

After a leisurely sigh, he mysteriously turned his phone around, carrying Min Moyou on his back.

I just sent you a message, did you see it?

Min Moyou reluctantly took out his Little Spirit Eye, opened the messaging app, and accepted Xiaoran's friend request:

[User: glc]: Hello [smile]

Min Moyou showed the message Xiaoran had sent him to Xiaoran, which drew another round of amazement!

Wow! I can really see it! That's so fast! I just sent it out! It's much faster than a letter!

【Domineering CEO - General Manager Min】: Hello to you too.

"Wow! I received your message! That's so much fun!"

"This... Domineering CEO - President Min? Is that your name? That's strange... Wait, why is my name: glc???"

"This is a screen name, which can be changed. Generally, people don't use their real names. It can be a word, a short phrase, or anything you like, as long as it doesn't violate the rules."

After listening to Xiao Ran, she turned her back again and tapped her fingers on Xiao Ling Tong's eyes.

Not long after,

【Caged Bird - Carefree Qin Immortal】: How about it? [Smug]

【Domineering CEO - General Manager Min】: Not bad.

【Caged Bird - Carefree Qin Immortal】: Pretty impressive, right?

[Domineering CEO - General Manager Min]: Awesome. [Thumbs up]

"Okay, now let's look at this balance. Do you see this string of numbers?"

"Ones...tens...hundreds...thousands...why are there so many zeros?"

"A total of one billion, consider it my start-up capital to help you embrace freedom."

"One billion? Nine-Fang Coins?!"

"Nine-sided Coin".

"Now...? Has the Nine Directions Coin depreciated that much? A billion? I've been a musician my whole life, attended all sorts of high-end banquets in the Wuli District, and can name almost every major family, but I've never seen a billion... How much does a steamed bun cost now?"

"About two nine-square coins."

"It's about the same age as ours...? Ten billion... ten billion...? Could this be a fake Nine Directions Coin? This little Spirit Eye is so small and thin, how could it possibly hold ten billion?"

As she spoke, Xiao Ran wanted to open the flip cover of the Little Spirit Eye, but she was reluctant, afraid of breaking it...

"It's virtual currency, not stored in the Little Spirit Eye. Come on, I'll teach you how to use it."

Min Moyou took Xiaoran to a steamed bun shop and bought one steamed bun each using both QR code payment and payment code payment methods.

"Wow! You can really buy things! Does that mean we won't need to carry money or a wallet when we go out anymore?"

Yes, that's right.

Wow! This is so convenient!

Min Moyou feels exhausted from raising her daughter, but seeing Xiaoran bring her joy and a sense of accomplishment. She can only say that she is experiencing both pain and happiness, finding joy in the process.

"Wow! What do train tickets and plane tickets mean? What is this browser? And what about food delivery? Shopping? Pinduoduo? What are all of these?"

"Could you...?"

Xiao Ran's questions couldn't be answered in a short time, and she quickly turned her attention back to the street.

"Wow, look at that girl! How can she dress like that! Her thighs are all showing! And her back is exposed, her belly button is showing... How shameless!"

"Is it appropriate to wear clothes like this out in public?!"

"Wow! Look, look! What's that! A supermarket? What a strange name... But there are so many things inside! I've never seen so many of them before! Shall we go in and have a look?"

Xiao Ran seemed to have no end in sight, trying to interrupt Min Moyou's efforts to get her to work by deliberately taking her around and asking her questions.

"Free and easy!"

Left with no other choice, Min Moyou had to stop her.

"Xiaoran, can I answer your questions later? As for the places you want to go, if you'd like, I can go with you later, like to the supermarket or somewhere else, but not now, okay?"

"I know you are incredibly eager for this hard-won freedom, and I know your curiosity about these things is irrepressible, but now, one of my..."

How do we define Xiaoguang's existence?

“Someone I care about may be in danger, and I need your help. We have an agreement, right? When I need you, you need to provide me with your assistance; this is part of our deal.”

"So, can you just bear with it for now?"

There was one more thing Min Moyou didn't say—he could have easily used the power of the human banner to force Xiaoran to obey his orders.

However, he was unwilling to do so, as it would place Xiaoran and himself in the position of servant and master, clearly telling Xiaoran once again that even if he were to live again, he would only be enslaved by others, and all his freedom would only be given to him by others.

Min Moyou didn't want to hurt her again; in his eyes, Xiaoran was truly a very good girl.

"Oh......"

Xiaoran seemed to understand all of this as well, visibly withering away from her lively, energetic self. She weakly responded to Min Moyou, stopped running around and asking questions, and began tapping on the little spirit pupil.

【Caged Bird - Carefree Qin Immortal】: Hmph! That's too much! [Withered]

"What do you need me to do?"

Seeing Xiao Ran's aggrieved expression, a voice suddenly appeared in Min Moyou's mind: Let her play! Don't worry about anything else! Let her play!

But Min Moyou knew he couldn't do that.

"Try spreading your mental energy out to cover the entire Nakaura Ward? Then check if there's any Dragon Domain... Hmm... It looks quite festive."

In any case, Min Moyou knew that with his current mental strength, he could not cover the entire Zhongpu District.

If Xiao Ran doesn't work, then he'll have no choice but to follow the plot he remembers, collect a bunch of things and "present betrothal gifts" to see if he can summon the wedding sedan chair—the plot doesn't specifically say where the Dragon Realm is.

However, so far, only two maps have been released for "Return of the Dragon". The one who was captured is Hikari, who is in Nakaura Ward, and the one who was invited is Hitomi, who is in Nakaura Ward. The ending of this part of the story is also in Nakaura Ward, so the Dragon Realm must be in Nakaura Ward.

The main concern is that we don't know how long Xiao Guang has been held captive, whether he's in danger, or if there's enough time. Gathering materials and summoning the marriage procession are all very complicated, and we have to wait until night... Min Moyou was also afraid that something unexpected might happen, which is why he wanted to use this simple and direct method to find the Dragon Realm.

"Festive? Dragon Realm? I'll give it a try..."

Xiao Ran's obsession transformed into dragon bones, so she was no stranger to using power.

She suddenly summoned her familiar pipa and gently plucked a note.

He imbued his spirit into the sound of the pipa, driven by a deep, unfathomable power of incantation, spreading it to every corner of Nakaura Ward...

"It seems... I've found it."
