Systemless Villain

Chapter 234 A Warm Visit

Now, Long Tian and Liu Qian stood in front of the portal, which had now changed its color from the previous blue to a radiant white.

With synchronized steps, they ventured into the portal, instantly finding themselves in a white corridor reminiscent of a temporal tunnel.

It didn't take long for them to finally exit the portal, they were met with elevated terrain, prompting them to turn around, only to discover the disappearance of the portal.

"Well, the experience inside was both enjoyable and challenging. It's been a while since I've felt this excited, especially facing Zhang Jun. Fortunately, he's now dead without a trace," Long Tian remarked with a smirk.

Liu Qian agreed, "Indeed, there shouldn't be any suspicion about his death. However, I anticipate being the first one sought after by the Zhang family."

Concerned, Long Tian offered, "Are you okay with that? I can ask one of my father's subordinates to accompany you to the Yuan Dynasty if you want."

Liu Qian reassured him, "No, it's not necessary. I believe they won't pose a threat to me. And if they do, my family won't remain silent, especially my mother, whose background is likely not simple.

"Acknowledging her decision, Long Tian nodded, "Alright, let's depart from this place. By the way, I'm heading to Beijing, to the Long family. Would you like to come?" he inquired.

Liu Qian rubbed her chin, considering Long Tian's invitation. She was a bit tired and wanted to rest, but on the other hand, she also wanted to spend time with Long Tian since they didn't meet every day, especially now that school was on break for two weeks.

After a moment, she finally decided, "Alright, I'll come, but you'll have to carry me. I'm a bit tired," she teased, a mischievous smile adorning her face.

"Easy," Long Tian replied with a confident grin, swiftly securing his grip on Liu Qian's hips.

In response, Liu Qian embraced Long Tian from the front, savoring the closeness.

"You good in this position?" Long Tian inquired, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Absolutely," Liu Qian affirmed, her tone laced with excitement.

"Great," Long Tian nodded.

With that, a pair of dark wings unfurled from his back, and they ascended into the sky with impressive speed. Rising from the subterranean depths, they emerged into the chilly evening atmosphere.

Long Tian propelled forward with a powerful flap of his wings, racing through the sky at full throttle. Liu Qian clung to him tightly, immersed in the warmth and comfort that ignited a euphoric sensation within her.

In this moment, happiness enveloped her like never before, not even when she was with Ye Chen back then. Only with Long Tian, she truly felt this happy.

As the night unfolded, Long Tian and Liu Qian continued their airborne journey, surpassing an hour in flight.

Long Tian gradually descended, captivated by the radiant scenery beneath the clouds. Piercing through the mist, the enchanting panorama of Beijing unfolded, adorned with meticulously arranged buildings and vibrant city lights.

"Do you want to see this?" Long Tian proposed, glancing at Liu Qian who remained in his embrace.

"I can fly on my own," Liu Qian replied, releasing her hold. Phoenix wings materialized on her back as she soared alongside Long Tian.

Her gaze fixated on the breathtaking spectacle below, marveling at the city's beauty.

"Wow, this is truly beautiful. I should think about this. I have wings, yet rarely fly at this height," she expressed.

"Well, I also didn't think about enjoying the scenery. But this city looks really beautiful," Long Tian remarked.

Liu Qian smiled, completely immersed in the mesmerizing view below.

As their flight continued, they gradually descended, with Long Tian's family residence coming into clear view.

Finally, they landed gracefully right before the gate, where four guards stood ready.

The guards promptly swung open the gate and approached Long Tian and Liu Qian.

"Welcome, young master," they greeted.

Long Tian acknowledged with a nod, and together, he and Liu Qian entered the gate.

While strolling, Liu Qian couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of the Long family residence. It surpassed most places she had ever seen, being more extensive and beautiful.

The pair continued their walk, passing by other imposing houses. The abundance of residences wasn't surprising, considering that the majority of Long family members resided here, numbering in the hundreds.

Across generations, for thousands of years, they had remained united, forming a big family with significant influence in the empire.

As they proceeded, they eventually reached the main mansion, distinguished by its size and a flower garden in front.

They approached the grand entrance with purpose.

At that very moment, a stunning woman in her forties emerged, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Long Tian and Liu Qian.

"Good evening, Mother. I've brought Qian'er with me," Long Tian greeted warmly, a smile gracing his face.

Liu Qian mirrored the greeting with a smile and a respectful bow, "Hello, Mrs. Xia."

"Oh my, why didn't you inform me that you were coming?" Xia Yunfei reacted immediately, walking closer to Long Tian and Liu Qian.

"Well, I suddenly felt like coming here, and accidentally met Qian'er. So, I invited her to come along," Long Tian responded.

Xia Yunfei nodded, a sense of contentment spreading across her features, pleased that her son had taken the initiative to visit.

Just as she was about to continue, her focus shifted to the tattoos adorning Long Tian's arms.

She instinctively grasped Long Tian's arms, "Tian'er, tattoos? Didn't I caution you against that? Now, your handsomeness is marred by these tattoos, right, Qian'er?" she questioned, glancing at Liu Qian.

Liu Qian promptly replied, "Well, they suit Long Tian perfectly, and I believe he looks even more handsome with them," her tone teasing yet persuasive.

Xia Yunfei found herself surprised by Liu Qian unexpectedly defending Long Tian. She sighed and remarked, "Sigh, I really don't understand the taste of girls these days," while holding her head and shaking it.

Long Tian interjected, "These aren't ordinary tattoos, Mom. Let me show you," he offered.

Xia Yunfei didn't respond but awaited Long Tian's next move.

Long Tian raised both of his hands, and in an instant, the tattoos on his arms morphed into two black dragons soaring through the air, their resounding roars startling some members of the Long family who witnessed the spectacle.

Xia Yunfei, too, couldn't contain her surprise, her eyes widening at the unexpected display.

Long Tian gently wrapped his mother's shoulders, "Look, isn't that amazing? I can summon these two black dragons anytime. And it's not my wish, but the power chose me," he explained.

"I'm at a loss for words right now. But it's a positive development, isn't it?" Xia Yunfei inquired.

"Of course, it doesn't have any side effects on me. It's pure great power," Long Tian responded with a confident smirk.

Xia Yunfei smiled, "I'm pleased about it too," she expressed.

Long Tian also smiled, and with that, the two black dragons gracefully returned to him, seamlessly transforming back into tattoos on his arms.

Xia Yunfei remained captivated by Long Tian's abilities, but undoubtedly, she was delighted that her son possessed such strength.

In this moment, her attention shifted to some individuals standing in the distance, unmistakably members of the Long family.

She promptly intervened, "Nothing is transpiring here; you can disperse," her tone, though calm, held a firm authority.

The individuals nodded and promptly dispersed without lingering.

Observing this, Xia Yunfei redirected her focus to Long Tian and Liu Qian.

"You two, let's go inside. This time, I'll be cooking for dinner, and Qian'er, can you help me?" she asked.

"Of course, Mrs. Xia," Liu Qian responded with a warm smile.

Xia Yunfei smiled back, and together, the three of them entered the main mansion.
