"So? Have you made up your mind? Work for me... and the benefits will be immense."
"Once the Boundary Gate of the Future loosens, countless powerhouses from the Nine Heavens and Myriad Races will descend. Don’t you want to rely on their essence blood... to walk a unique path of evolution?"
Jiang Che pinched a drop of essence blood between his fingers, his voice dripping with temptation.
Xu Rong didn’t even hesitate before switching sides!
Jiang Che was a cultivator at the Martial God stage, and he had such a powerful master backing him.
In the early stages of the spiritual revival, he could practically walk around unchallenged!
Even in the later stages, when the two realms connected and the superpowered leaders of the Destiny Seekers Association descended to hold him accountable, he could still find a way to absolve himself.
Perfect!
"Boss! From now on, I’ll charge ahead for you, even if it means spilling my brains and guts!"
Xu Rong immediately dropped to his knees.
Jiang Che: "..."
Seriously? Is your education level this low? Are these the only two idioms you know?
Jiang Che raised his hand and casually tossed the essence blood toward Xu Rong.
"Th-thank you, Young Master Jiang!" Xu Rong even kowtowed several times before accepting the drop of Qiu Lin’s essence blood.
Truthfully, he hadn’t expected to receive Qiu Lin’s essence blood—he would’ve been satisfied with just ordinary blood. But of course, ordinary blood couldn’t compare to essence blood.
[Ding! Host has refined a drop of extremely impure dragonkin essence blood.]
[Ding! System is analyzing... Analysis complete!]
[System has successfully purified the bloodline, obtaining a low-grade dragon bloodline and the dragon racial skill ‘Dragonflame.’ Would you like to fuse with it?]
Xu Rong was so ecstatic upon hearing the system’s voice that he nearly lost control, itching to fuse with the bloodline immediately!
This was the first time he had obtained the bloodline of a true otherworldly race—before this, he’d only gotten abilities from ordinary animals.
Once he fused with the dragon bloodline, his strength would likely break through to the Divine Passage realm.
Meanwhile, Qiu Lin’s heart was bleeding!
Why? This isn’t fair!
We both surrendered, knelt, and swore to charge ahead and spill our brains and guts—so why does this guy get treated so much better?
But in front of Jiang Che, a Martial God, he didn’t dare make a single move.
"Oh? You actually purified it into a low-grade dragon bloodline? Your system’s tier must be quite high!"
Jiang Che nodded to himself.
Instantly, Xu Rong felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen solid!!!
How? How could he know that my system purified a low-grade dragon bloodline?
"Young Master Jiang..."
The deputy leader of the Human Pavilion was so terrified he couldn’t even speak.
Clearly, this guy must also have a system—and his system was likely far superior to his own!
What’s the point of even trying?!
If you’d shown this kind of power earlier... I would’ve surrendered ages ago!
Now even his system was laid bare, with no privacy whatsoever.
"Hmph... No need to ask why. Work for me, and the benefits will be immense. My master has given me plenty of exotic spirit essence blood..."
With a wave of his hand, countless small vials floated into the air.
Each vial contained a drop of blood in a different color.
These essence bloods radiated terrifying pressure, and faintly visible illusions manifested—true dragons, immortal phoenixes, even legendary creatures like the Kunpeng and the Five Spirits.
"This—"
Xu Rong felt his entire body screaming in excitement!
[Beep beep beep! System has detected ‘True Dragon Heart’s Blood,’ ‘Phoenix Nirvana Blood,’ ‘Kunpeng True Blood’...]
Xu Rong’s legs were shaking uncontrollably. If the system confirmed it, then these had to be real!!!
But little did he know, all these essence bloods were just illusions conjured by Jiang Che.
Jiang Che’s divine-grade special effects could even deceive the Heavenly Dao!
A low-tier system naturally couldn’t see through it.
"Young Master Jiang!!!!!"
If Xu Rong had still harbored any rebellious thoughts before, now he was utterly and completely loyal!
"Alright, alright, scram already."
Xu Rong gave an awkward chuckle.
But in his heart, he was more determined than ever—he would cling to Jiang Che’s thigh no matter what. That was True Dragon essence blood! If he wanted to grow stronger in the future, he’d have to rely on Young Master Jiang.
Even the scraps from Jiang Che’s fingernails would be enough to make him burst.
Before leaving, Jiang Che made one last stop at the mermaid tribe’s gathering place.
Qiu Lin and the others followed closely behind, giving off the vibe of executives inspecting company operations.
"Qiu Lin! Take good care of these little mermaids. Train a group of singing and dancing mermaids—once the Dragon Palace is built..."
Jiang Che pointed at the mermaids. While their looks weren’t exceptional, they were certainly pleasing to the eye!
Imagine a grand Dragon Palace filled with singing, dancing mermaids serving you, along with a beautiful Dragon Princess—ready to roleplay as a Dragon Knight anytime. Just thinking about it was enough to make him float in ecstasy.
"Uh... No problem! Rest assured, I’ll train an outstanding group of mermaid maids for you!"
Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction before leaving the Dragon Palace.
This trip had been quite fruitful.
He’d recruited Xu Rong without spending a single point!
As for Qiu Lin, whether he submitted or not didn’t matter—Jiang Che was more interested in the Dragon Princess behind him.
Dragon Knight... Just the thought was tantalizing!
"Husband~~~"
Right then, Mo Lianxing’s figure materialized from the Spirit Nurturing Ring.
Her appearance had changed once again—this time, she had transformed into a stunningly beautiful mermaid!
Her deep blue hair flowed like seaweed, and her pupils were a mesmerizing Klein blue with vertical slits, exuding an irresistible allure. Unlike ordinary mermaids who flaunted their headlights in skimpy bikinis, she wore a light gauze that accentuated her perfect curves.
The only difference was her lower half—a massive fish tail covered in blue scales that shimmered with rainbow hues under the sunlight.
"Damn, you really unlocked a new skin!"
Jiang Che gasped before reaching out to touch Mo Lianxing’s tail. It felt just like the real thing!
"Of course~ Since Husband has already paid, I must provide top-tier service."
Mo Lianxing smiled coquettishly. This woman had mastered the art of seduction without even being taught—her charm was flawless.
Her soft, delicate voice alone was enough to melt Jiang Che’s bones.
"Ahem, Lianxing, if you have something to say, say it quick. Your husband still needs to go home and cook..."
Despite his words, Jiang Che scooped Mo Lianxing into his arms.
Though her mermaid tail was covered in scales, the texture wasn’t rough—instead, it was surprisingly soft.
Mo Lianxing rolled her eyes. She had this man completely figured out—he was a total pervert!
"Husband~ About that True Dragon essence blood and Phoenix essence blood you showed earlier... Can I take another look?"
Mo Lianxing batted her big, beautiful eyes, brimming with anticipation.
Jiang Che smirked. "That depends on your performance!"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
