Xiao Yu."Third Brother! Oh... Third Brother, what's wrong"Right after Xiao Hongyang spoke, Zhang Dahai walked in from outside. Seeing the golden needles on Xiao Yu’s body, he quickly asked."Captain Zh...Chapter 748: Honeymoon Trip (1)

The golden bird let out a cry and flew towards Xiao Yu, although its flight was unstable, it did not drop mid-air.

Seeing this unsteady flying golden bird, Xiao Yu extended his arm. The golden bird seemed very familiar with Xiao Yu's movements and flew onto the extended arm.

"Haha..." Suddenly, Xiao Yu and Yun Xi standing in the courtyard burst into laughter. When the bird tried to land on Xiao Yu’s arm, due to its unstable flight, it ended up falling to the ground instead. Seeing this awkwardly fallen golden bird caused Xiao Yu and his companions to laugh heartily.

Seeing the golden bird getting back up from the ground, Xiao Yu slightly squatted down and extended his arm again. The golden bird immediately rushed onto his arm and then climbed onto his shoulder by following it.

If someone observed carefully at this moment, they would notice that the bird's claws did not touch Xiao Yu’s shoulder; there was a layer of paper-thin space between them.

Back when the bird used to perch on Xiao Yu's shoulders, its claws were very sharp. Even during its juvenile stage, it had an extraordinary natural talent with claws as sharp as blades. Whenever it clung onto Xiao Yu’s clothes, it would tear his sleeves into shreds. Although it wouldn’t hurt him physically, it was still bothersome every time he had to change his clothes. Knowing that Xiao Yu wasn't exactly wealthy, and that his current savings were only around one or two million yuan, whenever this golden bird came onto his body, he used his energy to create a barrier between his clothes and the bird’s claws.

"Little Jin, Little Jin... It's mealtime..." At this moment, a woman’s voice rang out from the front courtyard. Hearing this sound, the golden bird perched on Xiao Yu’s shoulder spread its wings and flew towards the roof at the front, vanishing in an instant.

Seeing this flying bird, a wry smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face. This bird was Little Jin, the golden eagle. After more than a month of growth, it had already grown to be as large as an adult eagle. It was rare for a golden eagle to grow so big at such a young age, but during this period, Xiao Yu used righteous energy to help it regulate its meridians, thus allowing it to grow very quickly and with feathers that differed from those of its parents.

Little Jin’s plumage was entirely golden, radiating a shimmering gold hue. Its feathers’ shade of gold resembled the color of Xiao Yu's righteous energy.

However, since Xiao Yu brought this golden eagle back, Dai Yuxin had been taking care of it. As such, Little Jin and Dai Yuxin were very close; however, Little Jin was still extremely dependent on Xiao Yu, akin to how a parent would be to their child with Dai Yuxin being like its nanny.

In fact, Xiao Yu asked Dai Yuxin to feed the golden eagle so that she could build a better relationship with it. After all, this golden eagle wasn't of great use to him, while Dai Yuxin was different. She had just begun her cultivation journey; once this golden eagle grew up, not only would it serve as her mount but also assist her in battles.

“Master, Master Mother, good morning!”

The two of them arrived at the front courtyard where Dai Yuxin was feeding meat strips to the golden eagle. As soon as she saw Xiao Yu and Yun Xi emerge, she immediately greeted them.

Hearing her greeting, they both nodded and returned a greeting before entering Xiao Jianying's room.

Xiao Yu didn't visit his place today either; he stayed at home with Yun Xi.

His brothers, friends, and the elders had all left Beijing and returned to their respective homes. The older generation was especially eager to leave after seeing Xiao Yu reach the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage. They hadn't fully processed the issues Xiao Yu discussed with Li Qiong previously, so they only stayed for a day before departing from the capital.

Xiao Yu didn't try to hold them back as he knew that he might not have much time to spend with Yun Xi in the future. Therefore, while there was still time now, he wanted to make full use of it by staying with her.

Currently, Xiao Yu's cultivation had greatly improved; more than half of his righteous and vast energy within him had liquefied. Thanks to his assistance, Yun Xi's cultivation had reached the early stage of Qi Refinement.

A person without any cultivation experience reaching the early stage of Qi Refinement after just one night would certainly be astonishing news if spread around. In fact, it was almost impossible, but now Yun Xi had achieved this. There were several reasons behind her success: first, her talent; second, practicing dual cultivation with Xiao Yu who was at the peak stage of Qi Refinement. With their dual cultivation, Xiao Yu's cultivation level surged significantly, and if that surge in power were transferred to Yun Xi, it might have propelled her directly into the middle stage of Qi Refinement. However, as a beginner, she only reached the early stage.

Despite this, it laid a solid foundation for Yun Xi, making her path to cultivation smoother compared to others.

Xiao Yu didn't intend to return to the deep sea before the fifth day of the fifth month. With Wan Sheng Hall now on track and not requiring his constant presence there and with the lessons at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine handed over to Teacher Dai, Xiao Yu stayed in Beijing with Yun Xi.

These days, Li Su jun1 and the other elders did not bother Xiao Yu, only asking him to visit them on the fifth day of the fifth month. For now, they wanted him to spend a good honeymoon.

Xiao Yu and Yun Xi spent five days playing around in the capital before boarding an airplane bound for Europe. Although Yun Xi didn’t have any requirements for this trip to Europe, Xiao Yu knew that after more than a month had passed, he would find it difficult to take time off like this again.

Therefore, while there was still time, Xiao Yu wanted to spend over a month playing around with Yun Xi.

This was the first time for both of them to visit Europe, and their first destination was Paris, France.

Paris (Paris), the capital city of the French Republic and its largest city; it is also France’s political, economic, cultural, and commercial center. It is the fourth largest international metropolis after New York City, London, and Tokyo. Ever since Paris' development in the Middle Ages, it has retained traces of past times, even keeping a unified style for some of its oldest streets.

Walking on the streets of Paris, Xiao Yu felt immersed in foreign culture as he looked at Yun Xi beside him, feeling a sense of contentment.

In fact, Xiao Yu didn’t have great aspirations or thought about achieving fame and success. What he most hoped for was to be with his family well and fulfill his maternal grandfather's last wish.

Although he had such thoughts in mind, reality differed from what he envisioned. Despite his cultivation level, he couldn't escape doing things he didn’t want to do.

Take Blood Flame Regiment as an example; while being in charge of the regiment would represent great authority, Xiao Yu didn’t care about that himself. However, given many of his friends, brothers, and elders were part of it, when Li Su jun1 told him that everyone with blood-colored flame tattoos could be relied upon to share life or death, Xiao Yu knew he couldn't avoid it any longer.

After all, even though Li Su jun1’s martial strength was high, he could only deal with ordinary people. When faced with mysterious events, they would often find themselves at a loss. Although the Blood Flame Regiment had quite a few cultivators, their cultivation levels were merely peak middle-stage Qi Condensation Realm at most. They could handle minor matters, but if they encountered something like the small ghost realm Xiao Yu encountered in Japan, even he wouldn’t be able to deal with it now—let alone those people

Even though Xiao Yu was currently unable to do much, given his peak Qi Condensation Realm strength, ensuring their safety was still within his capabilities. That’s why he took over the Blood Flame Regiment.

Certainly, there was another reason why Xiao Yu didn't need to join the Blood Flame Brigade to help these people. That's because the elders were here to back them up; without those elders around and with an unfamiliar leader in charge, not only would it be unlikely for Xiao Yu to step in, but he might not even get a chance to know about it, let alone protect his maternal grandfather's house.

The two walked along the streets of Paris, feeling dazzled by the numerous fashionable luxury stores on both sides. Nevertheless, they didn't stop at any of these shops and continued walking towards the Chinese embassy.

After arriving in central Paris from the airport, instead of taking a taxi, they chose to walk toward the direction of the embassy. After all, this was their first time in Europe, and the unique European urban atmosphere, distinctly different from China's, captivated them deeply.

It took half an hour for the two of them to reach the Chinese embassy.

"Stop! This is the Chinese embassy. May I ask what brings you here" As soon as Xiao Yu and his companions reached the entrance of the embassy, they were stopped by a guard.

The guard, seeing their black eyes and yellow skin, deduced that they were Chinese since they had come to the Chinese embassy. However, not everyone could freely enter; hence, he intercepted them.

"Haha, I'm here to see Ambassador Song Guozhu!" Upon hearing the guard's inquiry, Xiao Yu chuckled and replied.

Surprised by this statement, the guard glanced at Xiao Yu and his companions in puzzlement. "You want to see Ambassador Song Did you make an appointment"

"My name is Xiao Yu. Just give him a call, and he'll know!" Xiao Yu nodded at the guard.

Seeing that these people didn't seem like they were lying, the guard led them into his duty room, where three other guards were seated in front of surveillance equipment.

"Little Liu, what's going on" When Xiao Yu and company entered the room, a captain around thirty years old asked the guard who had brought them in.roup over immediately said this as soon as he approached them."Right, right!" Upon hearing that person's words, these few people quickly responded. They then took out a small black porcelain jar from...
