After killing an elder of the Hong clan and letting Hong Lingxian go, An Xiaoyu was satisfied. With this guy messing around in alien territory, as long as you don't get caught, there will be no peace in the west. As for whether Hong Lingxian will appear in the territory of the empire, anyway, it has its own divine soul mark on its body, and it will inevitably be discovered before approaching the border.

If the aliens worry about it more, the imperial people will be able to live a more stable year. And An Xiaoyu is destined not to stay in the imperial capital for the New Year this year. Two years ago, because of her absence, their family did not return to the East Wilderness. It's been two years, and both parents and grandpa miss the tribesmen a little.

In fact, An Xiaoyu must have passed by the village when he was supervising the work in Donghuang, but he never went down to take a closer look. Just in time for the Chinese New Year, the family has to go back to the tribe to see and spend a New Year in the tribe. This is what my mother called to talk to An Xiaoyu two days ago.

Even if An Xiaoyu won't go, they have already made up their minds that they must go back this year. What else can An Xiaoyu say? It can only be for and for. To be honest, if you don't go this year, I'm afraid there will be no chance next year, and this war will sooner or later affect the Eastern Wilderness.

By the end of next year, the war will not end at all, after all, this is not an ordinary all-out war, and it will end after a year of fighting and losing both. This is a decisive battle between races, and no one is sure how long this war will be fought, at least next winter.

An Xiaoyu left the border with the white tiger and came to the territory of the empire, flying in the sky, looking at the scenery flying below. The more you flew towards the east, the brighter the sky became. In winter, the morning dawns late, and even in places where there is no sun, many cities are already lit up.

Xiaobai looked at the scenery below, large and small cities, like one after another irregularly shaped and connected nebulae, entrenched on the ground. Thousands of lights gathered together to illuminate the entire city, which was particularly bright and colorful, and Xiaobai was stunned.

"Is this the city?" Xiaobai asked.

An Xiaoyu nodded and said, "This is the city, the place where human beings live. ”

The two men did not pause, and flew past the place where the sun had not yet risen. The Xuan clan suddenly appeared beside An Xiaoyu and asked, "What about those crystal eggs in the extreme north?" You just don't care? Although the white tiger can't think of anything, you can't give up, right? ”

An whispered and said, "Isn't there still you?" Since the other party wants to attack the Xuan clan, he will never give up, if this plan fails, there will definitely be another plan, you will follow me, it is the biggest clue. As for now...... For the people of the empire, nothing is as important as the New Year. ”

The Xuan people don't understand, when they are hiding in the world, human beings have not completely risen, the whole continent is a mess of war, what is the New Year or something, who cares? But An Xiaoyu is right, even if any clues are broken, there is no doubt that the other party wants to get the Xuan clan, it is better to wait for the rabbit.

It doesn't matter where it goes, anyway, the Xuan people don't have to celebrate the New Year, in the imperial capital, in the west, and in the Eastern Wilderness, it's all the same for it, but it's just the difference that appears in a different location. Thinking of this, the Xuan clan disappeared into the space, as if it had never appeared.

And An Xiaoyu continued to move forward, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to a magnificent city above Xiaobai's dizzying eyes. This city, even if the demeanor of all the cities in the world combined, is less than one-tenth of it, and the mighty purple gas lingers in the sky above the city, and the breath of prosperity rises to the sky.

"This is the imperial capital!" Ann whispered.

The White Tiger was also shocked by it, not by the vast area, the variety of buildings, or the grandeur and prosperity of the imperial capital, but by the luck revealed by the imperial capital. This kind of thing will have enough impact on the white tiger, and it can't believe it in its heart.

Such a city actually condenses all the luck of more than 10 billion human beings, and the luck in the sky can even turn into a dragon. If Qi Luck can also have actual strength, the White Tiger feels that he is simply insignificant in front of this Qi Luck, and he can't help but tremble!

This is the Imperial Capital! This is the city of luck for mankind! Such a huge amount of luck is far from being comparable to the declining Eight Great Imperial Families. If there was no direct intervention of the Heavenly Dao, the result of this battle of all races, the White Tiger felt that there might be no suspense, and the final winner had already been decided.

An Xiaoyu looked at the imperial capital, and she was also a little emotional. I took a deep breath, it was still the same as before, the air was more turbid than other places, and there was a lot of exhaust smell. In such a large city, even if the air is consciously purified, it is inevitable that the freshness of the air in the mountains and forests cannot be compared.

But it's this kind of breath that makes people feel extraordinarily stable.

Descending from the sky, as the line of sight decreases, the scenery of the imperial capital changes anytime and anywhere. At first, I skipped the low-rise buildings on the periphery, as if looking down on a large model. Then, they entered the center of the imperial capital, and their view began to be obscured by high-rise buildings.

In the process of shuttling between the buildings one after another, the surrounding scenery can be described as willows and flowers. The line of sight constantly changes with the ups and downs of high-rise buildings, making the white tiger a little dizzy. The scenery of such a dry scene is simply unseen and unheard of for her, and she has never dreamed of it.

She couldn't help but turn her head around to look at the different landscapes, constantly giving her new impacts as the flight advanced. She even forgot to let An Xiaoyu slow down and enjoy it, because the scope of the imperial capital was too large, and even if she advanced at such a speed, she could still enjoy too many scenery.

An Xiaoyu flew from the periphery of the imperial capital to the side of the Three Thousand Academy, and above the Three Thousand Academy, he saw the Sangong Mountain in the distance. There are not many people in the college now, the school has long been on vacation, and there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, and students from all over the country have returned to their hometowns, making the whole college seem a lot depressed.

She just had time to take a look inside the academy, and after seeing Zuoqiu Zhizuo, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes. After sitting down, Zuo Qiu Zhizuo poured a cup of tea for An Xiaoyu and said, "You have been gone for more than a month and have done a lot of great things, and I am very happy in my eyes." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "No matter how much you do, it is just to give the empire a long morale, and the battle of luck is still on the battlefield after all." At least for now, there are no major problems on the battlefield of the Empire, and the situation is still superior. How is the academy doing? Didn't run into any trouble, did you? ”

Zuo Qiu Zhizuo shook his head: "Since you killed a few cultivators last time, plus Qiu Shao's matter, no one dares to reach out to the academy." Especially when you defeated Hong Lingxian and became the first person under the real Holy Realm, they all have to think about whether they offended you, the young master. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Qiu Zhizuo's face also showed a smile that should not appear on his face, not reserved at all. It seems that this matter has really troubled Zuo Qiu Zhizuo for a long time, and I am afraid that since the great purge after An Xiaoyu came to the imperial capital, he has already begun to accumulate foundation for the Three Thousand Academy.

The old man said, "Now the universities from all over the empire have joined together to form an alliance. The leader of this alliance is the Three Thousand Academy. Not only the educational circles, but even the scientific research circles, literary and artistic circles, and publishing circles have begun to unite to form a single alliance, which can be regarded as one of the largest organizations in the region. ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, knowing that this was enough.

However, Zuo Qiu Zhizuo said: "I don't know if you have received the news, it is said that all students of the military academy and the mecha department will go to the battlefield in advance for actual combat training in the future. The purpose is to shorten the internship period in the future and increase combat awareness. ”

Hearing this, An Xiaoyu frowned: "Are you in such a hurry?" I haven't been in contact with the CMC lately. ”

Zuo Qiu Zhizuo sighed: "Actually, this matter is still because of you. Just because you have been to the western branch before, many people believe that part of the reason why this year's mecha can quickly form combat effectiveness is because of the experience of going to the battlefield in advance. ”

An Xiaoyu was speechless, if she wanted to say that there was absolutely no such thing, she really couldn't say it. In fact, the reason why the mecha department was able to quickly integrate into the battlefield was indeed related to the advance rehearsal. Although it is not the main reason, the auxiliary reason is also very important, and this decision of the Military Commission is understandable.

After all, all students of military academies and mecha departments are registered under the Military Commission, not under the school. Moreover, with the opening of the Great World of Cultivation, most of the military academies and mecha departments that had not offered cultivation courses before had begun to cultivate students who were geniuses in cultivation.

And An Xiaoyu and their next class are the first beneficiaries of the Great World of Cultivation, and the students who have practiced for nearly four years are far better than the previous students in terms of quality and combat effectiveness. The quality has improved, and the training method is more radical, which is also reasonable.

An Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "Since this matter has been decided by the Military Commission, it hasn't been told to me yet, I'm afraid it's just because I'm afraid I won't agree." To be honest, I'm still a little embarrassed. Since he joined the Military Commission, every time he comes forward, he is going to shuffle the cards, and I am afraid that he has become notorious. ”

Zuo Qiu Zhizuo also smiled and didn't say anything. An Xiaoyu looked at his appearance and knew that Zuo Qiu Zhizuo was just talking to himself, and probably guessed that the Military Commission would not communicate with him, so he just notified him. For this decision, although Zuo Qiu Zhizuo is helpless, he doesn't feel that there is anything excessive.

So she said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing to go to the battlefield early, at least you can feel the danger and tension of the battlefield in advance." When you come back, I hope that everyone will be able to train specifically for their weaknesses, so that they can also improve their safety after going to the battlefield in the future. ”

"Aren't you worried about Xiao An?" Zuo Qiu Zhizuo asked.

An Xiaoyu rubbed her head: "Instead of worrying about Xiao An, it's better to worry about me coming by myself." This kid is the son of luck, he can give anything for nothing, and only the alien race has a headache on the battlefield. And since Bei Huang has cultivated Xiao An, he will naturally have corresponding arrangements, not to mention that he is just a preparer. ”

Zuo Qiu Zhizuo nodded, and also agreed with An Xiaoyu's words.

After leaving the Three Thousand Academy, An Xiaoyu first went to meet Mi Huang and Xu Fengxing, and worshiped them for an early year, and then went to Ni Yu's house and had a long-lost dinner with Ni Yu's family. Ni Yu is very happy, especially bouncing, even happier.

It was the first time Xiaobai saw a little guy smaller than himself, so he was very happy, showing his body and jumping on the ground to play with blocks. An Xiaoyu is not worried about anything, Baihu is simple-minded, and he has agreed that he will not use his strength casually, so it is definitely no different from ordinary people.

The two children were having fun together, and the grandmother looked at this little girl who was as white as jade, with blond hair and golden eyelashes, and a pair of silver eyes, and she also liked it very much, and always asked her if she wanted to eat this, or if she wanted to eat that?

Where has the white tiger seen so many snacks in the world? Naturally, it is a novelty, and those who come do not refuse. The old man likes such children, and he can't help but smile, and the wrinkles on his face are blooming. However, An Xiaoyu also noticed that the wrinkles on her grandmother's face seemed to be not as deep as before, and they had become much lighter.

Feeling the breath of life, An Xiaoyu suddenly realized: "Exchanged for life potion? ”

Ni Yu said: "Yes, if you can, who doesn't want to live a long and healthy life for yourself and your family?" Thanks to your relationship, the academy's quota gave me three potions. Seeing them younger has made me feel a lot more at ease. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "It's okay, with the opening of the Great Cultivation World, the average life expectancy of the Imperial people will reach a critical point of rapid growth, and Jumping will definitely live longer in the future." In the case of life-prolonging potions, I heard that the fourth generation is still being researched, and when the time comes, it will be able to extend the lifespan to more than 200 years, which is a kind of lifespan that I would never have dared to think of before. ”

"However, there are also drawbacks, the sudden change in the age structure will inevitably impact the values of society and people, and many things will become different when the life expectancy becomes longer, especially in the era when there are a large number of practitioners."

"That's the genius of the Empire." An Xiaoyu's tone was filled with some helplessness and sadness: "I'm afraid that before the impact of average life expectancy comes, many people in the empire have already begun to focus on cultivating the next generation." In this war, there are not a few people who will die eventually, and with the death of young people, the empire will usher in a buffer period of more than twenty years, which is enough for the empire to adjust too many things. ”

Ni Yu also laughed dryly twice, the reality is so cruel. The Elixir of Life must be a good thing for them, for those who want to unite with the practitioners. But for others, the empire does not show the deep meaning hidden behind the scenes.

Looking at Jumping, Jumping will be six years old after the New Year, An Xiaoyu has checked her qualifications, since she began to cultivate with the secret method of Daxue Mountain a few years ago, Ni Yu and Xu Huixin also bought a lot of elixirs to improve their qualifications for Jumping, so the little guy's talent is very good, and he will definitely be a cultivation genius in the future.

In fact, there are not a few children like Jumping in the empire now. With the opening of the great world of cultivation, many sects have gradually declined, and most of the secret methods and cultivation methods in their hands have fallen into the hands of the empire.

It is foreseeable that as such situations increase, the empire will inevitably usher in an era of great explosion of cultivators. And this nascent era is destined to be built on the ruins of the old era. Built on the bones of countless people, march towards a new era of empires.

Soon, the meal was on the table, and Bai Hu naturally had never seen a human meal, so he couldn't hold it back. Even though An Xiaoyu had secretly reminded her, it still scared Ni Yu's family. Even the bouncing opened his mouth wide, forgetting to eat his own food, and was shocked to see Xiaobai feasting.

The white tiger had just arrived in the world, and he was very curious about everything, and after eating, he began to watch cartoons with Jumping, and watched it with relish, especially when he saw those talking animals, he couldn't help but start wondering, is there such a race in the primeval race? If not, why do bears talk?

An Xiaoyu almost dragged the white tiger away by the collar on the back of her neck, and her grandmother was a little reluctant, and even said that she could let the white tiger live here, of course An Xiaoyu would not agree. Xiaobai is the safest when he is by his side, and when he leaves his side, who knows what accidents will happen?

Then, An Xiaoyu returned to her home.

After entering the door, my mother asked, "Have you gone to Teacher Ni's house to see it?" ”

An Xiaoyu nodded: "They are all fine, their health is also good, the old man has also drunk life-prolonging medicine, and the healthy ones are not good." I've booked my plane ticket and we'll be at the airport tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. Mom, take a little more clothes, it's very cold in the East Wilderness this year, and there are gifts for everyone......"

Dong Xiaoguan was stunned, so he could only watch from the side, and he could only add to the chaos when he got started with this kind of meticulous work. But suddenly, his eyes moved, and he sneaked out of the room. An Xiaoyu glanced at it and knew that it was Zhonghua who had burned, so she didn't care too much.

After packing up all the things, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and they went back to their rooms to rest. An Xiaoyu sat in front of the light brain, looking at some of the recent operational arrangements and important news of the Military Commission, thinking about the situation on the front line. Xiaobai turned into a kitten and lay on the table, and suddenly said, "Xiaoyu, what are parents?" ”

"Parents?" An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and shook her head with a smile: "For you, it may be a difficult relationship to understand, right?" ”

"Yes...... Xiaobai sighed faintly, "Does it count as my parents?" ”
