YM778.TV Chapter 84 Going to See Ming Xuan
What made Yi Luo Xiang happiest was that even though Yan Qingying was very beautiful, Xin Yun\'s thoughts were clearly focused on her. He did not take advantage of Yan Qingying\'s situation. In respecting Yan Qingying, he showed even greater respect for Yi Luo Xiang and for himself.
At that moment... Yan Qingying leaned close to Xin Yun\'s right side, her body lightly resting against him, her arms gently embracing his. It was her first time riding a dragon, so she was understandably unfamiliar with it, flying so high she feared falling off. As the controller, Xin Yun had to sit in the middle seat—a position that could not be changed.

Yan Qingying felt odd about Xin Yun. To her, though he appeared just a child on the surface, in reality, his overall demeanor seemed even more profound than that of adults.
What pleased Yan Qingying secretly was that Xin Yun treated her with great respect, and she could even describe his attitude as reverential. Whatever the circumstance, he always cared for her opinions and feelings. In Xin Yun\'s presence, she felt what dignity and freedom meant.
Though she did not know what the future held, having an owner who was of similar age and who respected her greatly was undeniably a cause for celebration and joy. Yan Qingying knew that having such a kind master was her good fortune, and she must cherish it.
In the days that followed, Xin Yun hurried along, finally arriving at Mountain Sea City two months later. However, he did not rush to submit his application to the Combat Dragon Academy but instead rented a storefront to set up the Dragon Crystal shop straight away.
Everything went smoothly. Xin Yun rented a pricey storefront right in front of the Combat Dragon Academy\'s main entrance. Although the rent was high, it was a trivial matter for a premium and high-demand establishment like the Dragon Crystal shop.
After setting up the shop, Xin Yun set off again with the two girls, heading west towards Mountain Sea City. After three days, they reached Ming Xuan\'s hometown—Shanshui City.
Despite being only one character different from Mountain Sea City, Shanshui City was a small city with a population of less than a million, in contrast to Mountain Sea City\'s tens of millions.
In fact, Shanshui City could only be considered Ming Xuan\'s second hometown. Before he turned eight, he actually lived in the countryside. They moved there so that it would be more convenient for Ming Xuan\'s education and care.
Of the three idols from his previous life, Xin Yun knew Ming Xuan the best, for two reasons. First, Ming Xuan was the only one among his three idols with living relatives. And secondly, he was the only male among them!
In his former life, Xin Yun had also visited this city a few times, nearly always paying homage to Ming Xuan\'s former residence and the Combat Dragon Academy\'s Shanshui branch where he had studied! He would even spend a little money to take a look at Ming Xuan\'s old classroom.
Therefore, as soon as Xin Yun arrived in Shanshui City, he took the two girls straight to Ming Xuan\'s former dwelling—oh... wrong! It should be said, to his current residence.
Compared to the last life, this small Shanshui City had fallen behind a lot, and this was particularly true for the main street. As for the district where Ming Xuan lived, it was practically the same as in his last life, except that the buildings seemed newer.
When Xin Yun arrived at a gloomy and damp alleyway between two buildings, he instinctively stopped in his tracks.
In my previous life when I came here, although it was very simple, it didn\'t seem so filthy and gloomy, with the ground not being such a muddy mess but paved with blue stone pathways. But now, how could it be like this...
Looking closely, the alley was extremely narrow, only wide enough for two people, dark and damp. Green moss grew on the base of the buildings on both sides, and the drainage from inside the buildings flowed over the pathway, winding towards a nearby ditch, making the entire alley\'s surface muddied.
For the sake of easier walking, there were a few stones laid across the muddy ground, seemingly salvaged from elsewhere, which provided just enough footing to traverse, but the smell emanating from the mix of sewage and rotten mud was enough to make one nearly vomit.
Frowning, such terrible conditions did not deter Xin Yun; he had never been a delicate person, and although the environment here was bad, he had experienced much worse.
He had intended to ask the two girls to wait outside the alley, but he dared not leave them alone. After all, whether it was Yi Luo Xiang or Yan Qingying, they were just children under ten. If they were to stand here and encounter a bad person, the consequences were unthinkable.
Xin Yun, accompanied by the two girls, carefully walked into the alley, treading cautiously on the stepping stones. After a few minutes, they finally... arrived in front of a dilapidated house.
The house was in a state of disrepair, and though it wasn\'t exactly drafty, it was clearly long in need of maintenance, especially the thatched roof, which was sparse enough to leak when it rained.
Originally, the house had windows, but now they had been boarded up with planks. At the front of the house, a skewed door with wide gaps barely covered the entrance. Getting closer, one could see through the gaps into the interior.
Leaning gently against the door, peering through the large gap, Xin Yun looked into the room. The space inside wasn\'t large, and there were no partitions.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
In the corner, there was a worn old wooden bed, with its sides against the wall, one side facing the door, and the last side next to a dining table with only three legs. However, the side missing a leg was propped up by a pile of stones.
In front of the dining table were two dilapidated stools, but at least they were intact and sturdy. Opposite the table was a simple cooking stove, and beside it, a curtain hung with several buckets placed nearby, evidently used as a bathing area.
Apart from that, the room was empty, nothing else in sight. Seeing this scene, Xin Yun silently sighed, thinking to himself that it seems the mother and child had been sharing a bed all this time! No wonder the boy developed an Oedipal complex. To some extent, it must\'ve also been a product of their environment.
"You... you all!" Just as Xin Yun was engrossed in peering through the door, a weak voice came from behind him.
He abruptly straightened up and turned toward the sound to see a frail, pale, but exceedingly delicate woman, carrying a bucket of water and looking uncertainly in his direction.
Upon closer inspection, the young woman appeared to be just over twenty, slender with graceful curves. Despite her pale complexion, she exuded an exceptional aura, portraying a sense of vulnerability.
Although Xin Yun had never seen Ming Xuan\'s mother in his previous life, with just one glance at the woman, he was certain it was her; the resemblance to Ming Xuan was clear. Obviously, Ming Xuan had inherited his looks from his mother.
Admiring the little woman before him, it was no wonder Ming Xuan in his last life was so infatuated with his mother. This petite woman might not be the most stunning beauty, but her demeanor was so comfortable—submissive, gentle, the kind of woman who could satisfy any man\'s protective desire. One couldn\'t help but feel reluctant to let her suffer any harm.
