Chapter 117 He's the bad one, not everyone else.
Now that she had recovered, Yuan Wang had no desire to rest. However, the psychological trauma from that day still left her with some lingering effects. She would occasionally look warily at the door, as if someone might break in from there.
The next day, the crew arrived at the hotel early and gathered downstairs. The cameraman also carried the camera and started recording. Long Xiaoxiao was coaxed by Yuan Wang to get up and go downstairs for breakfast. After eating and drinking their fill, everyone set off to head to their destination.
The aquarium in Z city is also very famous and attracts a huge number of visitors. The production team had given prior notice, and the filming location had already been cleared when they arrived.
Long Xiaoxiao was led in by Yuan Wang and walked in. She looked around and when she stepped into the underwater tunnel, the azure blue water and the various fish swimming outside the glass made Long Xiaoxiao gasp in surprise.
"So beautiful!" Long Xiaoxiao exclaimed in astonishment, her eyes darting between the two.
Upon hearing Long Xiaoxiao's words, the tour guide immediately smiled and replied, "Yes, Xiaoxiao, do you like it here?"
Long Xiaoxiao nodded happily and said, "Beautiful, I like it."
The producer gestured to the tour guide to quickly bring up the flow of the program. Only then did the tour guide remember her responsibilities, coughed, and quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic.
"Next, we'll be going to the polar region inside the aquarium to observe the adorable little penguins and seals. Your task is to feed them, and your next task will be determined based on your performance."
After the tour guide finished speaking, he quickened his pace and turned to introduce the tunnel to the group.
"This is the underwater tunnel of our aquarium, which is the deep-sea area. You can see the creatures outside the glass walkway around you, including many deep-sea fish such as sharks and rays."
No sooner had they said that than a large shark suddenly swam straight toward them and crashed into the glass with a bang.
"Huh?" Long Xiaoxiao was startled. After realizing what was happening, she instinctively reached out and covered the glass, curiously examining the shark in front of her. "Does it hurt?"
The shark didn't seem to be in pain; it just pressed itself against the glass, staring intently at Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao kept moving, and the shark followed her step by step, which was very obvious and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Xiaoxiao, the shark likes you too," Lu Shuyao teased Long Xiaoxiao with a smile.
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled, and she leaned against the glass, looking back at the shark, and said in a smug tone, "Yes, it really likes me."
Dragons, who can control water, naturally have a closer connection with aquatic creatures. When sharks sense a familiar and intimate aura, they can't help but want to get closer, even though their brains may not be able to process too many complex thoughts, nor do they know why they want to get so close to the child in front of them.
Seeing how adorable the interaction between Long Xiaoxiao and the shark was, the tour guide slowed down, waiting for Long Xiaoxiao to finish playing before leaving. The tour guide couldn't resist jokingly remarking, "They like Xiaoxiao so much; it seems there really is a dragon palace underwater!"
Long Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to the tour guide's words. The system was slightly taken aback after hearing them, and its eyes narrowed as another plan came to mind.
The Azure Dragon God is a real entity, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for it to build a dragon palace at the bottom of the sea, right?
The system silently began searching through the system store.
After interacting with the shark, Long Xiaoxiao waved goodbye and followed everyone towards their destination.

The temperature in the polar region is very low. Long Xiaoxiao and the others put on several thick clothes before being allowed to enter.
As soon as they entered, everyone saw a seal patting its belly in front of the keeper, begging for dried fish. Its gray skin was still wet with seawater, and its big, round black eyes were darting around, making it look clever and cute.
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes widened immediately, and she let out another long "Wow!"
Everyone then turned to look at Long Xiaoxiao, and seeing her adorable wide-open mouth, they couldn't help but laugh.
They still think the little one is cuter.
The zookeeper came forward to greet the group and, as usual, handed them food. When the seals saw that they had dried fish in their hands, they were not afraid at all and slid over from the ground, staring at them with their big eyes.
Long Xiaoxiao couldn't resist any longer and immediately threw out the dried fish in her hand. The seals swarmed around her, completely surrounding her.
Yuan Wang was initially worried that Long Xiaoxiao would get hurt, but when he turned around and saw the seal rubbing against Long Xiaoxiao's hand, he knew that he had been worrying for nothing.
Lu Shuyao and the others adapted quickly. After all, they had already encountered bears, which were much more terrifying than seals and penguins, so this was nothing to them.
The only unusual one was Liu Shu. Although he had taken the food, he didn't rush to feed it. Instead, he took advantage of the time when everyone dispersed to slowly squat down next to Long Xiaoxiao. His movements were slow, but his eyes were observing Long Xiaoxiao's actions.
Long Xiaoxiao raised her head in confusion, tilted her head towards Liu Shu, and didn't say anything.
Last time, Liu Shu helped Yuan Wang pull out the fruit knife, so Long Xiaoxiao still has a good impression of Liu Shu.
Seeing this, Liu Shu roughly understood his image in Long Xiaoxiao's heart, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly opened his mouth, his tone concerned: "Xiaoxiao, were you scared last time?"
As he spoke, Liu Shu reached out and gently straightened Long Xiaoxiao's collar, his fingers tracing across the microphone before he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
Long Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to Liu Shu's actions. She understood that Liu Shu was talking about the stranger committing the crime, so she shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
She wasn't frightened by the man, but she was horrified by the tragic state of Yuan Wang's sister.
Seeing Long Xiaoxiao like this, Liu Shu sighed and said, "Alas, it is true. The people of China always have too high expectations of you and the Azure Dragon God. If you do something slightly below their expectations, they will do this."
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, sensing that something was amiss. Liu Shu also nervously observed Long Xiaoxiao's expression after he finished speaking.
The system was still focused on browsing the system store and didn't pay attention to the outside world. After thinking for a long time, Long Xiaoxiao finally managed to come up with a few words of reply.
“Not everyone is like that. There are good people and bad people.” Long Xiaoxiao said, scratching his head and trying to organize his thoughts. “He’s the bad one, not everyone is bad.”
Liu Shu's expression froze, and his eyelids drooped as if he were thinking about something.
The conversation between the two came to an end, and neither of them spoke again.
The producer then noticed that Liu Shu and Long Xiaoxiao's microphones were not responding. After looking around and finding them, he quickly came over and started adjusting them.
