Chapter 128 Nightmare
Thinking of the thrilling events of the previous night, the production team did not hesitate at all and decisively followed Tang Xuan back to China. The producer hesitated, unsure of what to do next, so he had no choice but to issue a statement to the netizens informing them to suspend filming.
Upon seeing the words "filming suspended," netizens immediately erupted in outrage.
"No, what's going on?"
"Why? Did you encounter something?"
"Could something have happened to Long Xiaoxiao?"
"So what exactly happened? Why did they all suddenly come back?"
"..."
The online commotion didn't bother Long Xiaoxiao and Yuan Wang. They were resting quietly at home. Yuan Wang had been on edge for the past few days, but now she finally relaxed and slept soundly for a while.
Long Xiaoxiao slept for a long time, but not peacefully. In her dreams, she always saw a dark cloud swirling around her family members, which she couldn't get rid of.
The black aura gradually engulfed the figures of her family members. Long Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in her dream, and she struggled to rush over. With a final kick, she was brought back to her senses by Yuan Wang's soft voice calling her name.
"Xiaoxiao, did you have a nightmare?" Yuan Wang asked, reaching out to hug Long Xiaoxiao and gently patting her back to soothe her.
Long Xiaoxiao was panting heavily, and it took her a while to catch her breath. Her voice was a little aggrieved as she said, "I want to go home."
They were at Yuan Wang's house at the time. Hearing this, Yuan Wang was a little confused. He thought she wanted to go back to Xingyin Mountain or Ling Mountain, so he asked, "Do you want to go back to the mountain? Should we have Chief Rong come and pick you up?"
Long Xiaoxiao didn't speak, and after a long while she finally responded with a muffled sound.
She wants to go back and earn lots and lots of points to lift the curse on her people and then go home.
Although Yuan Wang didn't understand why Long Xiaoxiao suddenly said that, he still nodded understandingly and said, "Okay, I'll contact him now."
When Rong Ming received the message from Yuan Wang, he rushed to meet Long Xiaoxiao. After taking her to the no-man's land, Long Xiaoxiao soared into the sky as usual and returned to Xingyin Mountain.
The Azure Dragon God's flight was clearly seen by many people below, and as expected, it reaped another wave of faith points. After hearing the system's announcement, Long Xiaoxiao's mood, which had been downcast because of the dream, improved slightly.
At this moment, Tang Xuan was exploring the protected area when the strange energy disappeared without a trace.
She was among the most sensitive to this strange energy in the department, which is why her grandfather dragged her to work there and she even managed to get a decent position.
Before the Azure Dragon God appeared, they could indeed detect slight fluctuations related to those strange energies, but after the Azure Dragon God appeared, those fluctuations became significantly stronger.
As a result, many people within the department speculated that the Azure Dragon God's emergence was also to fight against the alien energy that was harming humanity. However, as the Azure Dragon God did not take any action, this rumor gradually disappeared.
Having searched for a long time without any results, Tang Xuan had no choice but to return home, report the situation truthfully, and then prepare to go back to China.
Meanwhile, some footage taken by the show's photographers was uploaded online, including a short clip of them being surrounded by hyenas, and unsurprisingly, the number of views skyrocketed.
"Holy crap!"
"Don't do that, it's so immersive, I feel like I'm about to be ripped out of my butt and have my intestines eaten by hyenas [crying]"
"Aaaaaah, Mommy, I'm scared! Aaaaah!"
"My goodness, I got goosebumps when their eyes lit up."
"By the way, was anyone injured? How did they survive?"
"Are you talking in your sleep upstairs? With Long Xiaoxiao around, who could get hurt?"
"I have to say, just mentioning his little name makes me feel incredibly safe."
"Waaah, I'm scared! I want to snuggle up in your big, warm chest and be all sweet and gentle~"
"Hey upstairs, don't make me slap you. [smile]"
"..."
While netizens were just watching the spectacle, some professionals immediately noticed something was amiss.
If they're not mistaken, there are more than just hyenas in the video. It seems strange that so many wild animals gathered together just to attack these humans.
However, because the authorities intentionally suppressed the trending topics, the matter was ultimately swept under the rug.
Although the "Animal Wonders" production team felt unwilling, they had no choice but to put it aside for the time being and plan to continue filming on a different project later.
Although netizens clamored to see Long Xiaoxiao, they had no choice but to give up when they saw that the production team had no other options. However, they still flooded the relevant accounts with the three big characters "Long Xiaoxiao" every day.
After Long Xiaoxiao returned to Xingyin Mountain in her dragon form, she was still not in high spirits and looked rather listless. Not only did the system notice something was wrong, but Rong Ming and the others also felt something was strange.
Do you feel like you're not eating or sleeping well?
Rong Ming thought that since Long Xiaoxiao slept on a mattress when she was in human form, she might like it in her dragon form as well. So he had someone go to the basement and garden and lay out a large, soft mattress for Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao was puzzled, but lying on the soft mattress made her feel much happier, and she grinned happily.
But this joy didn't last long. A few hours later, Long Xiaoxiao started to look dejected again, drooping its tail and looking listless.
The system asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Xiaoxiao, are you feeling unwell?"
She spoke slowly and listlessly, her tone a little downcast: "No, that's not it."
As they were talking, they heard footsteps and the sound of wheels rolling. Long Xiaoxiao propped her head up and looked over, and saw that Rong Ming was followed by a dazzling array of food. In addition to the barbecue and milk that she usually ate, there were also some other seafood and fruits.
They were all novel things, but Long Xiaoxiao only glanced at them before turning her gaze away, shaking her head and saying, "I'm not hungry now."
Does the Azure Dragon God ever not get hungry?
Rong Ming's eyes widened in shock.
The Azure Dragon God used to be able to eat two or three buckets of roasted meat and fruit without ever complaining of being full!
The system pressed on, "What happened? Tell me, Xiaoxiao, when has Uncle ever stopped helping you?"
The coaxing tone made Long Xiaoxiao relax a little. She gently patted the tip of her tail, which made her tremble as she was shaken by the soft, elastic mattress.
"I miss my mom and dad. I dreamt that they were kidnapped by a dark wizard." As she spoke, Long Xiaoxiao's mood became even more depressed. "The dark wizard is so mean. I also dreamt that they ripped off all our scales. It hurt so much."
It turns out that the fear caused by the nightmares I had before has continued to this day.
The system thought for a moment and decided that the best way to alleviate its anxiety was to let Long Xiaoxiao go home and see for herself. So it turned to the system shop and tried to find the time travel items it had bought before.
They searched the entire store but couldn't find the item. Strangely, they contacted customer service but only received a cold, indifferent reply.
"Due to recent spacetime disruptions, all spacetime travel-related items have been removed from the shelves."
