Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: Seeing Qiongyu Again

Jiang Xiaobai realized that he seemed to have come to a special place.

It was a gloomy passage.

Looking back, there was only a stone wall, but he couldn’t find a way out no matter what.

“Strange, they should have come in, right?”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, not quite understanding what was going on.

After waiting for a while longer, still no one came in.

...

Jiang Xiaobai’s brows furrowed.

All he could do was to walk forward, being extra cautious along the way, afraid of bumping into some messy things.

This secret realm was indescribably eerie.

But it wasn’t long before Jiang Xiaobai fell for a trap!

As his foot stepped down, a stone slab suddenly sank in, and the sound of a mechanism activated.

Jiang Xiaobai thought he was about to face some terrifying danger, but it turned out to be just a door opening in the wall to his left.

After waiting a long time without any reaction, Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback.

“Is this a mechanism or a secret passage?”

“They play it like this?”

Muttering to himself, Jiang Xiaobai walked through the small door to take a look.

Inside was another passage, but this one was filled with luminescent stones, making the whole passage very bright.

Jiang Xiaobai kept moving deeper.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the secret passage he had opened, a figure appeared.

Qiongyu saw the secret passage had been opened, her eyes wide with surprise.

“Someone got here before me?”

“Damn it, no matter who you are, you dare to beat me this time, I’ll have you dead!”

Qiongyu’s eyes shone with a black light.

With a quick movement of her feet, she dashed forward at high speed.

Intent on catching up with whoever had gotten ahead of her.

After sprinting for a short while, she saw a figure up ahead. Qiongyu didn’t hesitate and launched an attack straight at the person.

Jiang Xiaobai, who was strolling along slowly, was shocked. Was there someone else behind him?

The Pagoda appeared instantly behind him, blocking the incoming attack, while the sword in his hand was already slashing toward the attacker from behind.

Clang!

Their weapons clashed fiercely, and Jiang Xiaobai could clearly feel the agitation of his own sword.

This was what happened when it encountered a counterfeit Sky Spirit treasure!

It was only then that the two of them could see each others’ identities clearly, resulting in both freezing in place, their faces filled with disbelief.

“Qiongyu?”

“Jiang Xiaobai?”

Qiongyu, looking at the person in front of her, was still on guard even though he was an acquaintance.

She would not let anyone take away the inheritance treasure this time!

This was of great importance!

Even this familiar person in front of her was no exception.

“Hey, why are you looking at me so warily, as if I’m going to steal something from you?”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.

He looked at Qiongyu’s tattered elf suit and frowned.

A suspicion arose in his heart.

“The person exiled by the elves, is it you?”

Qiongyu nodded, “Yes, it’s me, but it’s no big deal. I have no fondness for that race.”

“They are all so haughty; they look down on me, and I equally disdain them. Moreover, these large races, these major forces, they’re not good stuff.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, “I agree with you, the Void Dragon World is really not good stuff.”

Qiongyu, her head full of black lines, “How did you get here?”

“Long time no see, I thought you might have become a true immortal by now, but you’re still just at Great Achievement?”

There was a hint of teasing in the voice.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “Talking like that is no fun…”

After some matters were explained, Qiongyu finally understood that Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t there to compete with her for possessions.

She finally let out a sigh of relief.

For that thing, she was willing to make enemies with anyone and would spare no effort.

But facing the person before her, Qiongyu still felt very conflicted.

However, everything was moving in a positive direction.

“I… I came here because I have very important matters to attend to…” Qiongyu said softly.

“Yeah, I understand. I can help, I’m free anyway… By the way, since you know there’s something you want in here, do you also know the origin of this secret realm?”

Qiongyu nodded: “This is not just any secret realm, this is an emperor’s tomb.”

“Ah?”

It turned out that this place was the tomb of a rebel from the elven race!

That elf was a genius of the elven race, towering over others for tens of thousands of years, and could easily overpower geniuses from many other worlds.

But due to an accidental encounter, he inadvertently broke an elven taboo.

Turned into something neither human nor ghost, the elven race paid no heed to his contributions and advantages for the race, and they actually expelled him from the family!

Thereafter, the genius was thoroughly enraged.

At his most helpless moment, his own race didn’t take care of him but instead cast him out?

Who could endure such treatment?

Later, this genius really started to defy the heavens, his strength became extremely powerful, and opportunities kept coming to him. He even almost single-handedly destroyed the elven race!

In the end, the elven race, in alliance with masters from many other worlds at the time, managed to grievously injure him together.

Even on his deathbed, the genius still harbored intense resentment, and deliberately set up his tomb secretly near the elven territory!

“I… accidentally touched the taboo too… But because of what happened with this great emperor, the race was still quite good to me, fearing that I might become someone like him.”

“Everything was going smoothly until the moment when I was about to become the Saintess, others couldn’t stand it and they played their schemes to drive me away.”

“Naturally, I seek revenge. I did nothing wrong, so why should I be treated like this?”

As she spoke, Qiongyu’s expression became increasingly fierce, and strands of black lines appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.

It was quite terrifying!

“Cough cough, I’m not your enemy, there’s no need to be so fierce.”

Jiang Xiaobai coughed dryly, “So… that means there’s actually nothing good in this secret realm?”

“Of course there is. Aside from inheritance, there are treasures, and many resources. Do you really think an emperor would be penniless?”

Qiongyu chuckled. She suddenly remembered the time when she first met Jiang Xiaobai in the abyssal secret realm, and him being an extremely greedy person, to the extent of even wanting to pluck spider legs.

“You help me obtain the inheritance and treasure, and I’ll tell you where the resources are, how about that?”

Qiongyu looked at Jiang Xiaobai expectantly.

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes immediately lit up.

Wasn’t this like having rice delivered right to his door?

Although he wasn’t currently lacking resources, who would ever think they had too much of it?

If he wanted to rapidly cultivate into a true immortal in the future, he would need a multitude of resources!

The two struck a deal in an instant!

He had a strange fondness for Qiongyu, seeing as they were old acquaintances who had met on several occasions.

Why not help when there were benefits to be gained?

Besides, he also disliked how the elven race had handled the situation.

A genius was crucial for the rise of a race!

To just cast him out like that, forcing him to become an adversary, was that necessary?

“That’s settled then, let’s go…”

“Hold on, how did you get in here, and did you see any of my friends before you came in?”

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly said, startled.
