Chapter 841: Chapter 421 Selected_2

It wasn’t until the evening of the third day that someone knocked on his door.

Before he could move to open it, the door, also made of mithril, silently swung open, and a female wraith walked in from outside.

The moment he saw the female wraith, Long Dangdang’s spine tensed instantly, and he almost lashed out in the next moment. He recognized this wraith. Yes, one of the very few wraiths he knew.

Back in the Holy City, it was this one who attacked him and Kongkong! They almost got killed by her. At that time, her cultivation was at the peak of the 7th Rank, and her formidable strength left a very deep impression on Long Dangdang.

But now, the aura emanating from her was far beyond that of Peak 7th Rank, even touching the threshold of the 9th Rank. The immense wraith energy seemed even more vigorous amid the rich element fluctuations within the Mithril Castle.

At this time, the female wraith was holding a set of formal attire, a silver ensemble, and it was only because she held garments rather than weapons that Long Dangdang barely managed to suppress the urge to strike.

"Her Highness, the Princess, has chosen you as her Prince Consort. Put on this suit and I will take you to Her Highness shortly," the female wraith said as she placed the formal attire on the mithril table in the room and then turned around and left.

Really selected? That was Long Dangdang’s first reaction. His already vigilant heart grew even tighter at this moment. Was the wedding about to take place? The customs of the Wraith Kingdom seemed overly simple. But it also meant that he had to prepare to make a move.

Taking a deep breath, Long Dangdang focused inwardly. His spiritual power cultivation had reached around Level 7 of the 7th Rank, quite vigorous. Inside him, the special purple-gold bloodline power flowed quietly. His spiritual power was even more dominant than the elemental energy.

The Adamantine Cathedra battle armor was ready to be deployed at any time, and the Blue Beam Shower Padma could shine its brilliance at a moment’s notice. Together with the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace, Asura Red Lotus Spirit Furnace, Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace, Far Horizon Proximity Spirit Furnace, and six other mighty spirit furnaces, this was the entirety of his combat power.

No matter the strength of the Wraith Princess, he had no way out. The only response was to act during the wedding when he would be alone with the Wraith Princess in the bridal chamber. He couldn’t really marry the Wraith Princess, although he didn’t know if marrying a wraith was the same as it would be with humans, but he couldn’t betray his cousin! So, the only time to act was then, to take the Wraith Princess hostage and pray that her importance in the Wraith Kingdom was high enough to trade her for his parents and Hep Benn. He’d also need to set up a teleportation array formation to rescue his parents and Hep Benn before teleporting away at the first opportunity. He would perform an untraceable random teleportation first, and after that, use ample time for a targeted teleportation to Stone Gate City. With the teleportation scrolls on him, plus his control over spatial abilities, super long-distance teleportation might not work, but bringing people along for a certain distance was doable.

Once in Stone Gate City, he’d use the Earth escape shuttle to speed up the escape using the already established tunnels.

Long Dangdang had always considered the worst possible outcome before acting, only going ahead if he could accept it. But this time it was different, for no matter the worst outcome, he had to do it. Now, all he could do was pray that the final result would be as he planned.

He removed his outer jacket and donned the silver formal attire. This wasn’t just any ordinary suit; it was actually interwoven with mithril filaments, enhancing his own elemental sensitivity and absorption upon wearing it. Good, an increase in strength meant a higher chance of success.

After dressing, Long Dangdang sat cross-legged on the bed, silently meditating to calm his breath and ease his mind, keeping himself in the best possible condition. The outcome of what would follow was unpredictable, so he would have to give it his all.

After half an hour, the door was knocked on once again – it was the same female wraith. It was evident that he, the prospective Prince Consort, held no authority over the wraiths here, as she just opened the door straight away.

"Come with me," the female wraith said coldly.

Long Dangdang nodded and did not say much, in case he gave anything away. He just took another Deception Fruit, of which he didn’t have many left, but enough for now. His disguise was necessary because the deathly aura from absorbing the Grade A Soul Stones was too intense, masking his other energies.

Following behind the female undead, Mithril Castle seemed quite spacious inside, yet the mysterious and intense elements fluctuations were still shocking.

Ascending along the spiral staircase, after about two turns, and a few dozen meters from the castle’s topmost level, the female undead led Long Dangdang into a corridor.

Long Dangdang found that the higher up in the Mithril Castle they went, the stronger the elements fluctuations became. The corridor he now walked into had a purer element energy than the place he had been staying in.

At the end of the corridor was a pair of double doors. The doors were engraved with some enigmatic patterns that clearly belonged to the human world. Long Dangdang had excellent eyesight and, with just a glance, roughly made out that the scenes depicted were stories from the human world. However, they were all stories of humans committing evil deeds. It was evident just how much the Wraith Monarch hated humans. He just didn’t know where this hatred stemmed from.

Long Dangdang followed the female undead all the way to the door. The female undead knocked twice lightly on the door, then pushed it open and entered.

This scene made Long Dangdang somewhat surprised. It was one thing for the female undead to open her own door but to directly enter the Wraith Princess’s room like this?

Such an action left him puzzled and also made his heart sink. All his plans were based on the assumption that the Wraith Princess had a high enough status in the Wraith Empire. If her status was not sufficient, how would he be able to exchange for his parents?

Though he thought this way, he still followed the female undead inside.

The room of the Wraith Princess was much larger than the one Long Dangdang had stayed in, but it was also sparsely decorated inside. Perhaps the undead didn’t need it, or it could be that the Wraith Kingdom hadn’t been established long enough to make an effort in that regard. There were mithril tables and chairs, a mithril bed, and not much else. The mithril walls were covered in strange runes.

At this time, the Wraith Princess was in the room, standing by the bed and looking out. The room Long Dangdang had previously stayed in had no windows, so naturally, he could not see anything. But it was conceivable that from such a height, one might at least see half of Calamity City.

"Your Highness, I have brought the person," said the female undead indifferently.

The Wraith Princess turned around; she was still dressed as she had been that day, her face still masked.

Long Dangdang composed himself and bowed slightly.

The Wraith Princess said to the female undead, "You may go now. I have something to discuss with the Prince Consort."

But the female undead stood still, "The Sacred Magic God instructed me to protect your safety. I cannot leave."

Upon hearing this, Long Dangdang was slightly startled, but he also tensed up. Was that Spectral Saint Mage so cautious? However, it also showed that the Wraith Princess probably was not very strong, and as he continued to carefully feel, he still could not detect any strong aura from Her Highness.

Without arguing, the Wraith Princess walked slowly towards Long Dangdang. Soon, she stood between Long Dangdang and the female undead, her body just blocking the one behind her. She raised her hand, surprisingly lifting her mask slightly, but only revealing half of it, enough to show her red lips.

Her red lips parted slightly. She mouthed a few silent words to Long Dangdang.
