To the west of Kyoto, a slightly dilapidated highway runs through the entire mountain range.

In modern society with highly developed technology, this journey spanning tens of thousands of kilometers has long been replaced by interstate high-speed trains and faster aircraft.

Today, when more efficient and cleaner energy is the main fuel, you can occasionally see fuel vehicles speeding on the highway. These fuel vehicles have long been gradually phased out and eventually became synonymous with luxury goods.

Su Xian began to feel drowsy in the unique engine roar of a fuel car. She was used to the quiet environment inside the car, and this old car gave her an extremely familiar feeling.

It was already dark outside the car window. The city had long since become a beacon in the distance. A bright moon hung high in the sky, reflecting the surrounding rolling mountains.

"It's so desolate... Why do I feel like I've arrived at the end of the ancient world..." Su Xian moved his body sleepily.

"Beyond the radiation zone of the state capital, the area is indeed deserted due to the urbanization process. This is also for the purpose of protecting the natural resources and environment." The man said slowly.

"When can we take a break?"

"We're across the mountains. The nearest village is over a hundred kilometers away. You can get there after a while of sleep."

"It's such a huge area... I wonder how difficult it was to travel between the fourteen continents in the past."

"In the days of gasoline engines, it would take about ten hours to fly from Kyoto to Yunzhou."

Su Xian widened her eyes. She really didn’t expect that a domestic flight could last more than ten hours.

"On my planet, the longest domestic flight takes eight hours, including the time for connecting flights. No wonder technology here is developing faster and more advanced. The area is really too large."

Huo Li glanced at her and said, "They are just a drop in the ocean of the universe."

Su Xian looked hesitant, feeling that his decision was a bit impulsive. If the journey was such a long distance, there would be no fun in the self-driving tour.

"Brother, I didn't think it through. The journey is too far. At this speed, I'm afraid it will take half a month to get there."

She is going abroad soon, so she doesn't have time to wait for half a month.

Huo Li smiled and said, half a month?

At the speed of this old fuel car, it would take a month to see the snow-capped mountains and grasslands she wanted to see.

"When we get to the village, we'll change to another car. This antique fuel car is much slower and less comfortable, so it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable."

"But I want to go home..." Su Xian's voice was soft, with an unconcealable coquettishness.

"Didn't you say you won't regret your decision?"

"If I regret it, I can regret it!"

It's really unreasonable!

The man was still good-tempered, obedient, and indulgent without any bottom line, "Okay, I regret it, and go home."

Because of her words, I was tossed around all night and it was already seven or eight in the morning when I returned to Tanwan.

Although he had not rested all night, he was in very good spirits. For once he did not quarrel with Snowball. Not only that, he also served him delicious food and drinks and expressed his opinion to Snowball.

Mom came back this time because she didn’t take you with her on the trip. You should be nice to her in the future and never make her angry, etc.

I don’t know if Snowball understood what he said, but his whimpering around Su Xian to please him fully expressed the emotion of his life as a dog.

The man and the dog are so happy together that they are reluctant to part.

"Master, why do I feel that Snowball is much smarter than ordinary dogs?" Thirteen asked puzzledly.

"She has become a little smarter." Huo Li said calmly, "The Northern Continent Federal Government is holding an election, and the personnel in the country are complicated. You and Xiao Yao should keep a close eye on her, especially the strangers around her."

Thirteen's face was solemn, "What do you mean?"

We have never been so cautious in the past.

"If I were Langta, this would be the best chance to get close to her. If I miss this opportunity, there will be no next time."

"Has the young lady's identity been exposed?"

"Thirteen, you underestimate this man. He has entered the country several times to search for him. If he didn't know this, he would have been killed long ago. How can he occupy an area and become the king of the Central Continent?"

Thirteen hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Miss, it is not safe for you to leave the country at this time..."

Dongzhou is currently the most stable area.

Huo Li glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Thirteen's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but be surprised. His master should have made another breakthrough, but he wondered what level he was at.

"I promised to set her free."

After playing with Snowball on the lawn for a while, Su Xian looked at the time and went straight to school.

The courses in my sophomore year were obviously more relaxed. Classes ended at 3 p.m. I was packing my textbooks and getting ready to go home when my cell phone rang.

Another unfamiliar number.

The place of origin is Yunzhou.

Yunzhou?

When she left, she gave her phone number to Pan Caiyun.

When I answered the phone, it wasn't Pan Caiyun who was calling. I only heard a timid girl's voice, crying, "Sister Su, please save me!"

What flower?

Half sister.

"Don't cry, calm down and tell me what happened?" Su Xian asked hurriedly.

"My father won't let me study anymore and wants me to get married! Sister Su, I don't want to get married. I will take the graduation exam in a month. Can you help me?"

"I remember you took the art exam?"

Su Xian was a little confused. Art examinations were not something that an ordinary family could take as the cost was too high.

The He family allowed He Hua to take the art exam, obviously not because of money.

Their family specializes in going to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs and local specialties and selling them. Although they are not extremely wealthy, they are considered a wealthy family in the local area.

"Yes, the principal mom said that I am very good at dancing and have a good chance of getting into Kyoto Dance Academy, which is my dream school."

"The principal's mother talked to my father many times, but my father was like a weight on his chest, saying that he had already found a partner for me."

"I don't want to get married..."

He Hua's crying voice could be heard on the phone, from sobbing at the beginning to crying bitterly now.

The blows hit Su Xian's heart one after another, and she seemed to see her former self, her hopes and dreams being ruthlessly crushed by her once closest family members.

Even if you compromise, the hardships of life will not stop, but will become worse.

The sobbing of the girl opposite gradually subsided.

There were sounds of car horns and various noisy voices all around.

"Where are you now? Why are you making so much noise?"

"I...I stole money from home and ran away. I wanted to go to school, but it's too big and there are people everywhere. I couldn't find the way."

The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously panicked and frightened, and the answer was irrelevant.

Su Xian's heart skipped a beat, but he suppressed his anxiety and asked, "Don't be afraid. Tell me where you are now."

"At the station, I borrowed the phone of a brother who was on the same train with me. I don't know where to go now. It's getting dark and I'm so scared."

"Which station?"

"Kyoto North Station."

"You came here by car alone? Did you tell your mother?"

"No, wuwu, Sister Su, I'm scared..."

Su Xian really didn't expect that a girl who had never traveled far away would be so brave as to run to the capital alone.

"Listen to me, don't be afraid now. Wait in the waiting room. I'll have someone pick you up. Don't run around, okay?"
