Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1696: Solution

Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696: Solution

The sudden arrival of Emperor Ziwei left everyone in shock!

Why has she come as well?

It wasn’t her strength that they feared, but her identity. Among the emissaries representing Tian Gong in the world, Emperor Rose and Emperor Ziwei were the most well-known figures.

Their titles were nearly identical, their statures similar, and the two were often spoken of as a pair of charming sisters.

Don’t be deceived by the fact that they were only at the Immortal Emperor level of cultivation—roaming across the four continents of the Earth Immortal Realm, even Supreme beings dared not act recklessly toward them.

This was because they had Tian Gong behind them, the most mysterious power in the entire Earth Immortal Realm, bar none!

There were even rumors that Tian Gong was established by ancient mighty beings left over from the primordial era, an origin so fearsome that no one dared to provoke them.

At this moment, upon seeing Emperor Ziwei, the previously arrogant Martial Lord could only force an awkward smile.

"Take your hand away."

Emperor Ziwei’s voice was icy cold. From the sliver of her eyes visible beneath her mask, a chilling gleam flashed.

She was truly enraged by these meddling troublemakers!

Her plan had been flawless—she had intended to act directly to capture Mu Bai and the others alive, and then, through the methods of Qing Emperor of Tian Gong, uncover the current situation of the alien races.

But these people had suddenly appeared, making it impossible for her to take action!

At least for now, on the surface, Tian Gong could not have too much of an explicit connection with Jiang Xiaobai!

Otherwise, Tian Gong would inevitably face the covetous desires of cultivators from the four continents. While Tian Gong was indeed strong, the trouble caused by Earth Immortal cultivators in pursuit of opportunities during the grand era was no small thing.

More importantly, they could not allow the situation to develop in this direction right now!

The alien races still required everyone’s united effort to combat. Neither Jiang Xiaobai nor Tian Gong alone could shoulder this burden.

"Lord Ziwei, what do you mean by this..."

The Martial Lord squinted his eyes, staring at Emperor Ziwei. "Could it be that Tian Gong also has its eyes on this kid, Jiang Xiaobai?"

"Isn’t Tian Gong supposed to be above worldly strife? Why then, as this grand era descends, do you covet its opportunities?"

"Exactly. The boy Jiang carries great karmic burdens and has initiated this grand era. It’s said that he possesses untold treasures and fortunes we’ve never even heard of. Could it be that Tian Gong is planning to abandon its own rules and compete with us?"

"If that’s the case, then this lady might truly never believe in Tian Gong again."

The many Supreme beings each spoke their piece, their words making Emperor Ziwei’s gaze grow ever colder.

If not for the larger picture, she would have liked nothing better than to slap these bastards dead on the spot!

Though she was an Immortal Emperor, these Immortal Supremes were beneath her notice!

"Gentlemen, let’s not misunderstand. I understand you all are seeking opportunities, but Jiang Xiaobai is only one person. If you were to forcibly take him away, the consequences are not something I need to spell out."

Emperor Ziwei suppressed her anger and said, "The era has only just begun, and there will be many opportunities in the future. But I can guarantee that Tian Gong will not partake in any of them. This time, we only wish to make the grand era last a little longer."

"A time of chaos is inevitable. Before that arrives, we cannot let only you Supremes possess the ability to protect yourselves."

Such a relatively impartial statement managed to earn the nods of approval from many of the Supremes. While Tian Gong remained aloof from worldly matters, they knew very well that most of the time, Tian Gong’s actions were in consideration of the Earth Immortal Realm’s welfare.

"Then, Lord Ziwei, what suggestions do you have?"

A voluptuous woman asked.

"Lord Lu, why don’t we handle this matter differently?"

Emperor Ziwei spoke calmly. "It is true that Jiang Xiaobai has some treasures and opportunities on him. You may exchange for them, and I will bear witness to ensure no mishaps occur."

At these words, many of the Supremes fell into contemplation.

With a powerhouse of Tian Gong standing as a witness, the credibility was undoubtedly high. However, they were reluctant to spend unnecessary resources!

To seize the treasures from Jiang Xiaobai would be an easy feat for these Supremes.

As strong as he might be, could he contend with Supremes?

But with Tian Gong’s intervention, to disregard their face...

"Mr. Jiang, what do you say? Are there any treasures you’re willing to show us?"

Lord Lu spoke charmingly, her eyes glimmering as she fixed her gaze upon Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai felt utterly cornered.

Why did Emperor Ziwei have to show up now, of all times? And what on earth was he supposed to do?

"Just make some casual promises and get out of here first."

At that moment, Emperor Ziwei’s voice echoed in his mind. Jiang Xiaobai immediately realized that she was offering him a way to back down gracefully.

He promptly said, "I do have some treasures, but, how should I put it... I’m afraid none of you would find them of any use!"

These words caused the brows of many Supremes to furrow. The Martial Lord snorted coldly at once: "Lord Ziwei, it seems this kid refuses a toast and instead drinks a forfeit!"

"Wait!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand. "But I do know of several secret realms. These I learned about from a certain meritorious treasure I acquired early on. Within these secret realms, there are countless fortunes, all depending on one’s own abilities."

"Today, I swear to all of you that, should I gain access to any secret realms in the future, I will notify you all at the first opportunity. Will that suffice as a condition?"

Their eyes lit up. This was an opportunity that could not be overlooked!

The treasures on Jiang Xiaobai surely were extraordinary, but their quantity must be limited. With so many people vying for them today, it might indeed lead to an all-out brawl and chaos.

However, gaining access to future secret realms was an entirely different matter.

After all, judging from the two secret realms Jiang Xiaobai had already encountered, each held treasures suitable for Supremes!

And whatever he might have obtained this time was secondary; what truly mattered was what might lie ahead!

Indeed, the longevity of a flourishing era was also a critical factor. They wished to stockpile more power for their successors and their factions to prepare for impending chaos.

After much hesitation, a refined man clad in a sword-emblazoned robe finally spoke.

"Mr. Jiang, I hope you remember your promise today. Otherwise..."

Jiang Xiaobai quickly nodded. "I understand, I understand. Rest assured, I, Mr. Jiang, may not be a good person, but my word is my bond, spoken like water spilled—never to be taken back!"

With a slap, the man threw a token at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Use this to contact me in the future."

The others followed suit, hurriedly tossing their communication tokens to Jiang Xiaobai. Before throwing hers, Lord Lu even caressed it within her palm atop her mountain peak, planting a tender kiss on it.

When it landed in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, it was brimming with a sweet scent—a rich, creamy fragrance!

"Gentlemen, didn’t you understand my meaning?"

Suddenly, Emperor Ziwei spoke up. "I said mutual exchange of benefits!"

The faces of the Supremes darkened. Damn it, they hadn’t even received anything yet, and now they were being asked to give Jiang Xiaobai something?

They had to suffer losses?

"Lord Ziwei, I trust you’re aware of the current circumstances..." an elder said coldly.

Emperor Ziwei stood her ground, her gaze equally frosty. "I’m asking you—give, or not?"

For a moment, the oppressive chill in the air left the Supremes struggling to breathe.

Finally, the Martial Lord let out a hearty laugh.

"Since Lord Ziwei has spoken, if we don’t offer something in return, wouldn’t we become a laughingstock?"

With a casual toss, he sent a storage ring flying over. "Rest assured, its contents are worth far more than expected. But if..."

The Martial Lord shot a cold glance at Jiang Xiaobai. "If you dare play us for fools, no matter how Tian Gong tries to protect you, it won’t be enough!"
