Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1688: Trap!

Chapter 1688: Chapter 1688: Trap!

Lin YaoYao reluctantly held back her impulse to torture the chieftain to death, but continued to stare coldly from the side.

Her gaze was icy and chilling, making the chieftain’s entire body tremble.

Jiang Xiaobai bent down, his expression mocking as he looked at the chieftain, several black pebbles appearing in his hands.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"What is the prophecy, and also..."

He repeated the questions he had asked Brother Linzi earlier, then fixed his gaze on the chieftain. The moment the scoundrel made any move, Jiang Xiaobai intended to strike.

The chieftain had understood the instant Jiang Xiaobai appeared that he was no match, especially since Jiang Xiaobai had arrived silently without alerting the enigmatic priest, proving everything.

Even more importantly, the chieftain had always known there existed another world outside — a far stronger world!

At this moment, the chieftain instead calmed down, staring at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile.

"You want to know? Heh, I won’t tell you. What are you going to do, kill me?"

The chieftain sneered, "Yes, you people from the outside world are powerful, with abundant resources, and you even possess inheritance from terrifying strongmen to bolster your strength. You alone could annihilate our entire tribe, but so what?"

"If you kill me, what will you learn?"

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly grinned, "Are you threatening me?"

"Bargaining, that’s all. After all, you folks possess too many valuable items on yourselves, and your strength is overwhelming. If I told you directly, you could still easily kill us afterward. So why should I say anything?"

The chieftain rose from the ground, brushed the dust off his body, and confidently said, "Sign a contract then, a Heavenly Dao Contract, or I’ll say nothing. Just kill me if you want."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, there’s only our tribe here. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and search?"

These words made Jiang Xiaobai furrow his brows.

Only one tribe?

Impossible!

If this fireseed of humanity had been passed down from the end of the Heavenly Court era, the world should be teeming with them. How could there be only one?

"You must know something... But let me tell you, the truth is far crueler than you can imagine."

The chieftain sneered, exposing his blackened and disgusting teeth.

Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and slapped the chieftain hard, sending him flying. The sight was repulsive.

"What do we do? I think we should just leave him be. This scumbag should be handed to me; you can go straight to find that priest."

Lin YaoYao stepped closer, "I absolutely don’t believe there’s only one tribe in this place!"

"Hahaha!"

The chieftain burst into laughter, "You don’t believe it? Then so what? Facts are facts, and the truth of this world is something you’d never want to discover."

Lin YaoYao flew into a rage, raising her hand to strike, but Jiang Xiaobai stopped her.

"Don’t rush. That priest is suspicious too."

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes; earlier, he had merely seen the priest extend a desiccated arm, thinking little of it.

But upon reflection, that priest was strange!

He saw clearly that the mystical artifact, the Tianmo Crystal, did not come from the priest’s hand but fell from the palm itself!

Moreover, that withered arm looked extraordinarily eerie and problematic.

Jiang Xiaobai’s gaze turned sharp as he approached the chieftain, forcefully pried his mouth open, and stuffed a pill that heightened sensations a thousandfold!

"Ask him about those earlier questions. I’m going to pay that priest a visit."

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and vanished from the room, while the chieftain, writhing in pain, saw Lin YaoYao slowly advancing towards him, despair enveloping him instantly!

He frantically reached out, trying to grab Lin YaoYao’s boot, but she disdainfully evaded him and turned to cleave his right hand with a sword!

"Aaaah!"

His agonized screams erupted, but outside the room, no one could hear a thing.

Lin YaoYao’s icy expression conveyed all her pent-up rage, not only directed at this scoundrel but also at Jiang Xiaobai’s teasing of her!

She now realized that Jiang Xiaobai must have been following her all along, only deciding to act at the last possible moment.

Clearly, he had intended to mess with her!

The thought of agreeing to Jiang Xiaobai’s humiliating condition left her burning with humiliation, nearly irrational!

"Damn it! Bastard! If it weren’t for you, would I be in this mess?"

Lin YaoYao was about to strike but suddenly froze.

A shocking image flashed in her mind, accompanied by echoes of voices from the scene.

In the vision, a sweet, adorable young woman leaped into a man’s arms.

"Yaoyao wants to be with you forever, okay?"

The woman whimpered tenderly.

And the man, clad in a black robe with sword-like patterns, his white hair flowing freely, replied:

"Alright, Yaoyao can stay with me for as long as she wants."

"Yaoyao is so happy!"

The vision was brief, but Lin YaoYao could only clearly see the woman’s face, unable to discern the man’s features!

The most shocking part was that the woman who called herself Yaoyao looked exactly like Lin YaoYao!

"No... Impossible! What’s going on here?"

Lin YaoYao was struck dumb, losing even the desire to deal with the chieftain. She collapsed to the ground in confusion, her thoughts spiraling into chaos.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai had reached the priest’s straw hut. Using his divine sense, he discovered some kind of barrier blocking his senses inside!

"As expected, there’s a problem. A Golden Immortal, supposedly one of the peak experts in this secret mountain realm, always hiding and avoiding confrontation."

Jiang Xiaobai sneered, then set up an array of barriers and illusions around the area to ensure outsiders wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword, Yuanhong, and cleaved open the straw hut!

But the sight inside left Jiang Xiaobai dumbfounded!

The hut was empty!

There was nothing there, save a basin-sized hole in the ground!

From the hole came the sound of clattering stones.

Ran away?

"Damn it, let’s see where you think you’re running to!"

Jiang Xiaobai dove into the hole without hesitation, where the air was filled with a familiar crystalline-space aura, yet different from true crystalline-space power!

No time to analyze, Jiang Xiaobai focused entirely on chasing his target, but the figure moved incredibly quickly — even Jiang Xiaobai, at the Daluo Realm of Primordial Chaos, couldn’t catch up!

At that moment, a slimy black tentacle emerged from the surrounding space, aiming straight for Jiang Xiaobai’s chest!

Thwack!

Turning swiftly, Jiang Xiaobai sliced the tentacle apart with his sword, only for more tentacles to spring out from the cavity, blocking him on all sides!

The tentacles intertwined, forming a cocoon-like mass around Jiang Xiaobai. Black mist emanated from within, and Jiang Xiaobai’s solidified spiritual energy failed to resist its corrosive power, his consciousness gradually blurring.

From outside came a sinister chuckle.

"Haha, who’d have thought it’d be so easy to catch you?"

"Looks like you’re not as formidable as they claimed, huh?"

A raspy voice continued, "I thought you wouldn’t discover this place, yet here you are delivering yourself to me!"

"Heaven truly favors me today!"

Jiang Xiaobai, completely paralyzed, lost all ability to resist. Darkness consumed his vision as he fell unconscious on the spot!
