Before stepping into the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Maiden took a look at this so-called palace.
Although constructed with grandeur, compared to the true Dragon Palace in the Nine Heavens, it was still as different as clouds from mud.
It could only be called a clumsy imitation.
Of course, she didn't look down on this place because of her own origins. After all, in terms of status... even with the immense Dragon Palace standing behind her, she was absolutely unworthy of Jiang Che.
Back in the Nine Heavens, she had once inadvertently heard that there was a so-called Celestial Body genius in the Mortal Realm who boasted he would marry her? At that time, she had merely smiled faintly... such a bumpkin!
But later, news about this guy kept breaking out in the Nine Heavens. He leapt from a Single Celestial Body to a Dual Celestial Body, and even became the Imperial Scion of the Jiang Family. That was when... she began to pay attention to him.
And now, with the terrifying news of Jiang Che's Four Celestial Bodies spreading, coupled with his engagement to that Taiyin Mystic Maiden, she felt her plan absolutely had to be set into motion!!!
In her plan, Jiang Che would become the most crucial piece.
So she took a risk, actively sneaked down to the Lower Realm, using the pretext of searching for the Ancestral Dragon Pearl to carry out her plan!
Although this 'Dragon Palace' of the Mortal Realm was far less magnificent than the one in the Nine Heavens, it was still majestic and imposing, with winding, intricate paths inside.
"Huh?! You... who are you???"
Suddenly, a silvery, bell-like voice reached the Dragon Maiden's ears.
The Dragon Maiden paused and glanced sideways, her eyes meeting Jia Ling'er's directly!
"You?" The Dragon Maiden's pupils constricted sharply. The change in Jia Ling'er was so great she almost didn't recognize her.
"Wow!!! Dragon Maiden sister, it really is you! How did you come to the Lower Realm?"
Jia Ling'er ran up to the Dragon Maiden with a smile. After shedding her fishtail, Jia Ling'er was a bit shorter, just over five feet tall, while the Dragon Maiden appeared tall and slender before her.
"Ling'er sister?" Seeing Jia Ling'er here didn't surprise the Dragon Maiden; what truly astonished her was Jia Ling'er's transformation!
Her bloodline level seemed to have improved many times over!
Originally, Jia Ling'er possessed the Imperial Blood of the Jialan Clan, but now... she actually had two feet, which meant her bloodline had reached an extremely high level, possibly even that of a Pure Blood!
Most importantly was the aura of nobility emanating from Jia Ling'er, which made the Dragon Maiden feel somewhat inferior.
"Hehe, Dragon Maiden sister, you finally came," Jia Ling'er linked arms with the Dragon Maiden, rubbing her little head against the Dragon Maiden's fair arm, then waved to the mermaids like Qing'er behind her. "Sisters, let me introduce you. This is the Princess of the Dragon Palace, a top-tier force in the Nine Heavens, ranked 6th on the Southern Mire Heavenly Domain's Prodigy List, and the super Little Dragon Maiden ranked 37th on the Nine Heavens' Overall Beauty List!"
The Dragon Maiden somewhat awkwardly withdrew her arm. Normally... she would naturally take pride in these titles of hers, as she already stood above countless billions.
But who was Jiang Che's fiancée? The Young Palace Mistress of the Taiyin Ice Palace!
A Quasi-Emperor Tenth Heaven expert ranked second on the Heavenly Prodigy List, and ranked third on the Nine Heavens' Overall Beauty List, leaving her in the dust.
Girls always like to compare, especially proud girls.
"Princess Dragon Maiden? Wow~~~"
Back in the Nine Heavens, Qing'er and these little mermaids had very low status, never having left the Jialan Clan, let alone seen a major figure like Princess Dragon Maiden in person.
Now they all crowded around, full of curiosity.
Jia Ling'er mysteriously leaned closer to the Dragon Maiden. "Dragon Maiden sister, you've finally thought it through, right?"
"Thought it through? Thought what through?" The Dragon Maiden's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Jia Ling'er then put on an 'I-know-I-know' expression. "When the Nine Heavens network connected, I sent you a private message. Jiang Che is a good man worth entrusting your life to, and he can also help us become stronger. We're close sisters... would I trick you?"
"......"
The Dragon Maiden was a bit speechless. She rarely logged into the Nine Heavens network.
She hadn't even glanced at the private messages Jia Ling'er sent her.
"I came this time for the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. The Ancestral Dragon Pearl is a supreme treasure of my Dragon Clan, containing great secrets of our lineage. It cannot be lost!"
Hearing this, Jia Ling'er shrugged. "Dragon Maiden sister, I say, why are you so silly? Even if you get the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, so what? It's better to follow Jiang Che... I'll secretly tell you a secret! A minor underling from the Dragon Palace who was in the first batch to descend to the Lower Realm, just because he became Jiang Che's lackey, now his bloodline has almost turned into that of a Pure Blood Dragon!"
The implication in Jia Ling'er's words was obvious—she was brainwashing the Dragon Maiden!
Having been by Jiang Che's side for a long time, she knew this man's origins were absolutely terrifying, with countless methods at his disposal.
But the Dragon Maiden didn't know that!
"Alright, Ling'er sister... I told you before you're a love-struck fool, didn't I? It's only been a few months in the Lower Realm... and you're already defending your husband, tsk!" The Dragon Maiden flicked Jia Ling'er's forehead with her finger.
"No, it's not like that, Dragon Maiden sister. I sincerely suggest you latch onto Jiang Che. Didn't you tell me before? You don't like that marriage arrangement you're under. Why not rebel a little?"
Jia Ling'er was putting in all her effort to play matchmaker.
Within Jiang Che's harem, she felt outnumbered. Although she had mermaids like Qing'er and Xue'er as backup, they were still far from being a match for the main faction like Yu Wan'er and Ye Mengyao.
She had to recruit a few allies. There was even a time when, in a moment of passion, she thought about introducing her own mother to Jiang Che...
"Rebel? Heh..." The Dragon Maiden let out a bitter laugh upon hearing this.
Did she have a choice?
The other party in the marriage arrangement... had a Celestial Emperor standing behind him!
A marriage bestowed by a Celestial Emperor himself—who would dare oppose it?
Even if Jiang Che possessed Four Celestial Bodies and had the backing of the Nine Heavens' Jiang Family, could the Jiang Family of the Nine Heavens stand against a Six Tribulations Celestial Emperor?
Of course, she also wanted to rebel, but she was more afraid. Afraid that her willfulness might lead to the complete destruction of the entire Dragon Palace.
Jia Ling'er seemed to sense the Dragon Maiden's low spirits and decided not to press further.
"Dragon Maiden sister, since you're already here, why not take a look around?"
The Dragon Maiden shook her head. "Ling'er sister, take me to see Jiang Che. I have matters to discuss with him."
"Alright, but Dragon Maiden sister, you need to be mentally prepared..." Jia Ling'er's voice dropped to a whisper. "Jiang Che... he's very lustful. If you really have a request, you could try seducing him!"
Dragon Maiden: "......"
To be honest, the Dragon Maiden could hardly believe the girl with the lecherous grin before her was the Jia Ling'er from her memory.
The former Jia Ling'er was an incredibly proud and pure young maiden. How had she become like this after just a few months in the Lower Realm?
Soon, Jia Ling'er led the Dragon Maiden to the front of Jiang Che's room.
"Hehe, Dragon Maiden sister, I'll take my leave now," the girl said with a playful, cunning smile.
Watching Jia Ling'er's retreating figure, the Dragon Maiden felt a strong sense of unease.
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth.

Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors.

From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
