Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1651: There’s a Turnaround!

Chapter 1651: Chapter 1651: There’s a Turnaround!

"Congratulations, Host, on completing the task. Rewards have been issued!"

The system’s voice echoed in his mind, but Jiang Xiaobai’s expression remained unchanged, as if he didn’t care about the reward at all.

In truth, he was certain that King Qin Guang was deceiving him.

Could someone like him truly enter reincarnation so easily?

To him, what did longevity even mean?

Previously, Gu Ning could never see through his situation and once speculated that it was due to the means of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao wanted him dead, how could the Six Paths of Reincarnation possibly stop it?

He knew it all, he understood everything.

So he accepted it with calm composure.

He gently stroked the crystal coffin, leaning against its edge, staring blankly at the beauty resting inside.

He seemed to want to reach out and hold her.

"I’m sorry, truly... I won’t be able to accompany you for much longer."

"Three months... I don’t know if I’ll be able to find a solution."

In this matter, he had of course consulted the system, yet the system refused to reply—meaning even the system couldn’t offer salvation.

So, in all the world, what other solutions could there be?

Jiang Xiaobai was truly in despair, which made him cherish these remaining moments with Ao Yan even more.

Leaving the underworld, going outside to complete tasks?

He no longer desired that!

With only three months left, was it worth it to run around wreaking havoc?

Staying by Ao Yan’s side had become Jiang Xiaobai’s last obsession.

And he would tell no one about it.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes suddenly turned red. Two clear streams of tears rolled down Ao Yan’s cheeks.

Had she heard him?

A smile appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face. Wiping away his tearstains, he laughed softly.

"Silly girl, wake up already, okay? Stay with me and let’s take a good look at this world together."

"The Earth Immortal Realm is so vast—I’ve not even explored its wonders yet. I’ve always wanted to visit the Water Curtain Cave of Flowerfruit Mountain in Dongsheng Divine Continent but never had the chance. Wake up, and let’s go see it together, alright?"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke softly, as if talking to Ao Yan, yet also as though he were leaving her his last words.

Looking at Ao Yan for a while longer, Jiang Xiaobai finally calmed himself and started reviewing the system rewards.

Ten billion points, partial merit protection, a random Supreme cultivation technique, and the opening of an ancient ruin.

In the past, such rewards would have made Jiang Xiaobai leap with excitement!

Forget everything else—just the Supreme cultivation technique alone would have been enough to astonish him.

The "Sky Annihilation Sword" was a Supreme-level technique!

He was well aware of the power of that sword!

But now, with little time left to live, what use were cultivation techniques?

"System, draw the cultivation technique," Jiang Xiaobai murmured inwardly.

A golden light flashed before him, and suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai’s mind was flooded with new memories.

"Congratulations to Host for acquiring a Supreme-level cultivation technique: ’Hundred Cycles of Reincarnation!’"

Jiang Xiaobai’s heart jolted. ’Hundred Cycles of Reincarnation?’

Just the name sounded overbearing, and the word "reincarnation" sparked a thought in him!

"Could this technique allow me to extend my life and survive by grasping at straws?"

He couldn’t help but tremble as he reviewed the technique, though the flame of hope in his heart gradually dimmed.

This technique did not hold the miraculous ability he imagined—it couldn’t manipulate reincarnation in any meaningful way.

Rather, it was a technique that temporarily boosted combat strength. Reckless and domineering, it could triple his power, with the only downside being an enormous consumption of resources.

The effect was potent—but he didn’t need it!

"Heh, it looks like death is inevitable after all, huh?"

"After coming this far, surviving so many perils, just as I begin to touch on the truth of this mysterious matter, it turns out I’m fated to die?"

"This Heaven—is it truly so unfair?"

Jiang Xiaobai murmured softly, gazing into the heavens, his mood tumultuous.

If Heaven brought him to this world only to end it all in such a way, wasn’t that irresponsibly abrupt?

Was it toying with him?

Jiang Xiaobai clenched his fists, then gradually loosened them.

"Perhaps... there’s still a way!"

All of a sudden, a flash of light crossed Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes.

The Emperor’s Mausoleum!

Buried within were figures from the era of the Celestial Court, along with a Giant Spirit God serving as a gravekeeper. It appeared sorrowful, but Jiang Xiaobai knew that the truth wouldn’t be that simple.

If they were truly all dead, then the Giant Spirit God wouldn’t still exist!

He was a figure from the Investiture of the Gods. As long as the Investiture existed, he wouldn’t perish!

This meant that the beings buried within the Emperor’s Mausoleum—most of them were still alive!

In an instant, clarity struck Jiang Xiaobai. No wonder there was a mausoleum, no wonder the Giant Spirit God served as the gravekeeper, no wonder the robed old Daoist was secretly colluding with it.

It was because the entities within the Emperor’s Mausoleum weren’t completely dead!

"I still have a chance! King Qin Guang said himself, if strong individuals from the era of the Celestial Court remain, then there must be a way!"

Jiang Xiaobai rose to his feet in excitement. It seemed like a faint hope, but he would not give up!

Whenever there’s a chance, he must seize it—he didn’t want to die, didn’t want to leave Ao Yan!

Without thinking further, Jiang Xiaobai dashed out of the small courtyard. Outside, Qin Ruonan and the others were idly drinking tea and chatting. Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s excited and agitated demeanor, they raised their brows in surprise.

"What’s the matter? Has something big happened again?" Qin Ruonan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Haha, I indeed figured something out! I need to head back for a bit!"

Jiang Xiaobai shouted to Qin Ruonan and the others, "While I’m gone, please look after Yan’er for me. This trip shouldn’t take long!"

Just as he was about to leave, Su Mei suddenly blocked his path.

"Where are you going? I’m coming with you," Su Mei said firmly.

Su Mei stared intently at Jiang Xiaobai, feeling that this trip might lead her to uncover some secrets!

These past days, she’d been mulling over the information Emperor Rose had shared—it was something she could not accept. She needed to investigate for herself, before giving up.

Bodhisattva couldn’t possibly be what they claimed!

Jiang Xiaobai paused, glancing at Su Mei. Realizing she was once Guanyin Bodhisattva’s creature, he thought she might prove helpful at the Emperor’s Mausoleum in ways he hadn’t considered.

Nodding decisively, he said, "Follow me then!"

The two of them, one after another, bolted out of Fengdu City and immediately used the teleportation array to head toward the Immortal Road!

Qin Ruonan and the others watched them disappear, their faces filled with confusion.

"What’s he rushing off to do with such excitement? It’s rare to see him like this. Did his wife wake up?" Qin Ruonan wondered aloud.

Dust narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment. A flash of insight appeared in his gaze, but he remained silent.

At this point, King Qin Guang suddenly materialized, his brow furrowed.

"That kid’s aura has vanished. What’s he up to now?"

"No idea—he said he was heading to the waypoint world," Qin Ruonan replied quickly.

"The waypoint world?"

King Qin Guang blinked in confusion. What business could he possibly have there?

At first, noticing Jiang Xiaobai’s disappearance, he thought the boy had reached his breaking point and was preparing to act out in despair.

But now it seemed that Jiang Xiaobai might have devised some sort of plan instead?

"It seems there are still many things from back then that my underworld realm does not fully grasp," King Qin Guang muttered, narrowing his eyes before vanishing in an instant.

He was heading to find Qingquan!
