Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1691: In Hand

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: In Hand

Watching Qingcheng Xianzi waving him over, Jiang Xiaobai inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

What does this woman want?

To look at treasures?

The peaks in front of her are probably rare treasures of the world already!

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly waved his hand to refuse and turned his head, indicating he was a gentleman!

What he didn’t see was the veins subtly appearing on Qingcheng Xianzi’s exquisitely beautiful forehead and her face darkening slightly.

Slap!

Qingcheng Xianzi flashed next to Jiang Xiaobai and promptly smacked him on the head with a firm flick of her finger.

"You dog, always the same old you!"

"???"

Rubbing his head, Jiang Xiaobai said, "Why did you hit me!?"

"Hitting you is already letting you off easy!"

Qingcheng Xianzi, fuming, had her chest heaving violently. The sight was so turbulent that Jiang Xiaobai wanted to avert his gaze again, only to have his head grabbed by Qingcheng Xianzi.

"What nonsense are you thinking? This thing—do you remember it?"

While speaking, she revealed a sword sheath, letting it hover in the air. Jiang Xiaobai immediately recognized it—it was identical to the sword sheath structure from the secret realm trials!

It was exactly the same!

"I think I remember... or maybe I don’t?"

Jiang Xiaobai said blankly.

Seeing this, a trace of disappointment flickered in Qingcheng Xianzi’s eyes. So, he really doesn’t remember?

"Forget it, this isn’t something you can grasp in such a short time..."

Her words were clearly heard by Jiang Xiaobai, leaving him somewhat puzzled. What exactly is this woman’s background?

She really acts like she knows me?

"Enough talking about this. Let’s go find the black crystal. Seeing you is enough for me."

Qingcheng Xianzi smiled and handed the sword sheath to Jiang Xiaobai. "Keep it with you for now. Soon enough, you’ll find it useful."

"I’ll be off now."

With that, Qingcheng Xianzi casually tossed a storage ring to Lin YaoYao. Before either of them could react, she disappeared from where she stood.

Both Jiang Xiaobai and Lin YaoYao were left baffled by this development. When Lin YaoYao peeked inside the storage ring, her eyes widened in shock!

Jiang Xiaobai leaned over curiously. "What’s inside? Let me have a look."

"Shoo, shoo, shoo! This was given to me by the Fairy Sister, not you. What are you looking at it for?"

Lin YaoYao quickly hid the storage ring like a cat guarding a precious treasure, refusing to show even a corner of it.

"Tch, as if I care. Does it look like I’m desperate for it?"

Jiang Xiaobai sneered and turned his gaze toward the desolate settlement.

This place once had thousands of people, but when he woke up, there was no one left in sight.

The desolation gave the impression it had been abandoned for a million years!

"Seems like this place was long deserted. Maybe everything here was just an illusion?"

Narrowing his eyes, Jiang Xiaobai recalled the events, becoming increasingly curious about the strange race encountered here.

Clearly they were from the same race, calculating and scheming within the secret realm—so why did that other guy pursue him so relentlessly?

Doesn’t make sense, does it?

Could they be from different factions?

"Hey, what are you thinking about? So, what are we going to do now? Should we head back?" Lin YaoYao waved her hand in front of Jiang Xiaobai to grab his attention.

"No... I still have something to do. Go back on your own."

Jiang Xiaobai turned to leave as he spoke but was stopped by Lin YaoYao grabbing his arm. Turning reflexively, he saw her face flushed red.

"I... I can’t do it. Leaving alone would only get me into trouble!"

Lin YaoYao, blushing deeply, dropped her eyes to her faintly visible toes. "Can you... take me with you?"

"What I’m doing is incredibly important. I can’t take you along. You’ll have to leave on your own and make sure not to talk about what happened here to anyone. I’ll need your help when the time comes."

Jiang Xiaobai said indifferently, "Of course, you can choose not to help me, but the consequences... Well, I doubt you’d want the entire Earth Immortal world to know about your little underwater escapades, right?"

"What!?"

Lin YaoYao shrieked. "Are you threatening me now?"

"Do you think I need to threaten you?" Jiang Xiaobai sneered. "Someone like you... I could take ten of you at once and still come out ahead."

With that, he ignored her entirely and leapt away into the sky, leaving Lin YaoYao standing there in a daze.

For a long while, she stood unmoving before suddenly stomping her foot.

"That damned bastard! So unfeeling! And I was even planning to save you. I’m furious!"

After throwing a small tantrum, Lin YaoYao pouted. "So what if I’m only at the Daluo Golden Immortal stage now? Who said I’d stay at Daluo forever?"

Recalling the treasures hidden in Qingcheng Xianzi’s storage ring, Lin YaoYao’s face lit up with pride.

"Just you wait! When I break through to Hunyuan Daluo, or even the Immortal Sovereign stage, I’ll deal with you properly! You dog Jiang Xiaobai, you’ve really pissed me off!"

...

Jiang Xiaobai had no idea where he was within the secret realm anymore. He could only fly based on a rough sense of direction.

Before long, he saw a golden light flickering atop a distant mountain peak. He immediately realized it was the Bagua Furnace guiding him.

Sure enough, when he arrived, he saw the Bagua Furnace helping Yue pick spirit fruits from a tree.

Are those... peaches?

"Could these be the legendary Peaches of Immortality?"

Staring at the massive, luscious peaches hanging from the tree branches, Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth hung open in disbelief.

"Hah, didn’t think you’d know so much from all those rumors you’ve heard. Yep, these are none other than the Queen Mother’s Peaches of Immortality. They bloom once every three thousand years and bear fruit three thousand years after that."

The Bagua Furnace smacked its lips. "Too bad I can’t eat them. Guess they’ll all go to Yue."

"What, not even two for me?" Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

"For you? Are you even worthy?"

The Bagua Furnace sneered disdainfully. Then, with a casual wave of its small hand, it whisked Jiang Xiaobai to a cave entrance where the Sky-Roaming Hound was already waiting impatiently!

"Finally passed the trial! Hahaha, Gou Ye can finally leave this godforsaken place!"

"Quick, quick, kid! Go retrieve that thing! Only you can get it, or else I’d..."

Slap!

The Bagua Furnace smacked the Sky-Roaming Hound flat on the ground before awkwardly smiling at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Hehe, this dumb mutt’s gone stir-crazy in here. Don’t mind him."

Jiang Xiaobai looked skeptical. He had a strong feeling these two were hiding something from him.

But he didn’t press them for answers. Right now, the priority was retrieving the black crystal and freeing the mighty figures trapped within the Investiture of the Gods.

It seemed the strange races were starting to stir restlessly again.

Without hesitation, he strode into the cave. As soon as he entered, he was overcome by a strangely familiar sensation.

It felt warm, almost like home. But as he ventured further, all he saw was a black cube hovering in the air.

All it took was a simple reach to grab it—there was no resistance whatsoever.

"That easy?"

What he didn’t realize was that the moment he touched the black crystal, the entire Earth Immortal world began to quake.

In the Intermediary Worlds, within the Investiture of the Gods, countless powerful beings opened their eyes!

Blinding divine lights soared into the heavens, illuminating the entire Investiture of the Gods realm.

The entity trapped within its sealing formation began to struggle even more frantically!
