Jiang Che sized up the dragon girl.
At the same time, he extended his hand, revealing a jade-white pearl the size of a billiard ball resting on his palm.
The Ancestral Dragon Pearl, miniature version!
The original Ancestral Dragon Pearl was enormous, after all, it was a dragon pearl left behind by a true dragon of the past, naturally different from those of ordinary dragonkin. One must know... in the Nine Heavens, the true forms of many Emperor-level demonic beasts are incomparably massive, some even rivaling stars in size, their every move capable of altering the heavens and earth.
"The Dragon Pearl!"
In that instant, Long Qianqiu sensed a summons from the depths of her bloodline!
Although she was hailed as the Dragon Maiden, a princess of the Dragon Palace clan, the one the Dragon Palace was truly investing all its resources in cultivating was not her, but her half-brother!
His dragon blood purity surpassed even hers, and he ranked tenth on the Nine Heavens Overall Prodigy List!
To clear his path, she, this princess, naturally became the sacrificial pawn, including this search for the Dragon Pearl... the ultimate beneficiary was still her brother.
How could she possibly accept this?
She wanted to monopolize the Dragon Pearl!!!
To receive all its inheritance alone.
"Miss Long, is this the Dragon Pearl you wanted?"
Jiang Che began to toy with the pearl in his single hand. This thing was valued by the system at 50 billion points. If only it could be recycled for points, Jiang Che would have sold it long ago.
"Yes! This is the Ancestral Dragon Pearl I seek! It holds the supreme heritage of the dragon race. If nothing goes wrong... I will obtain the 'True Dragon Art,' lost to the dragon race for a million years. This is a top-tier immortal technique ranked among the top ten in the Nine Heavens and Myriad Realms. I can impart it to you without any reservation..."
Long Qianqiu gritted her teeth, prepared to go all out. Jiang Che was clearly no fool; ordinary tricks wouldn't fool him. After all, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!
"Of course, I will also willingly become your Dao companion, until you grow tired of me."
It must be said, this dragon girl spoke with shocking bluntness, every sentence catching Jiang Che off guard.
As she spoke, Long Qianqiu raised her eyes, meeting Jiang Che's gaze with utmost seriousness.
In her eyes, Jiang Che was clearly an extremely fickle person, like a child who gets a favorite toy, only to lose interest after playing with it for a while.
Even if she became his Dao companion and endured humiliation, it would at most be for a hundred years, perhaps even less... maybe just a few years before she could gain her freedom.
If she could obtain the complete dragon race heritage, what was a little humiliation?
As she spoke, Long Qianqiu actually began walking slowly towards Jiang Che, sitting directly on his lap. An intoxicating, soul-bewitching fragrance wafted into Jiang Che's nostrils, stirring longing within him.
Jiang Che instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist, but quickly released her.
"Miss Long, so you're really planning to sell yourself?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.
Long Qianqiu paused in thought, then nodded nonchalantly. "With such a beautiful fiancée already, you wouldn't look down on me now, would you?"
The dragon girl was clearly a ruthless character, capable of bending and stretching!
But unfortunately, her little schemes were completely transparent before Jiang Che.
Exposed utterly!
"Of course not. I've had a dream since childhood of becoming a 'Dragon Rider,' you know." Jiang Che leaned close to Long Qianqiu's ear and whispered.
Long Qianqiu's body stiffened for a moment. She could certainly hear the implied meaning in Jiang Che's words, but she chose not to resist. For the Dragon Pearl, she would endure.
"Dragon Rider? What? You want to see my true form? Let me tell you... my true form is a Violet-Gold Pure-Blooded True Dragon! At the Six Revolutions Nirvana stage, I'm ten thousand meters long. If you want to be a Dragon Rider... you might be a bit too small!" The dragon girl's tone was full of provocation, but it must be said... she succeeded.
"Aren't you afraid I'll dine and dash?" Jiang Che encircled Long Qianqiu's waist, asking with a smile.
Long Qianqiu, unhurried, revealed a smile. "I am... so I want you to pinky swear with me, and then... make a vow to the Heavenly Dao!"
The girl smiled with a bewitching and cunning charm. If Jiang Che truly made a vow to the Heavenly Dao, even if she lost her purity, she could still obtain the Dragon Pearl.
"A Heavenly Dao Vow?" Jiang Che showed a strange expression.
"Yes! Otherwise... I'd feel very insecure! After all, with someone as fickle as you, what if you bully me and then just walk away? Who would I turn to for justice?"
"Alright, alright, a Heavenly Dao Vow it is then. If it can put you at ease... I'll even make a Heavenly Dao Vow!"
As he spoke, Jiang Che raised one arm, lifting it slowly.
"I, Jiang Che, hereby make a vow to the Heavenly Dao. If I deceive Long Qianqiu and do not give her the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, may the Heavenly Dao descend the Heavenly Execution Tribulation upon me, banishing me to eternal damnation with no chance of reincarnation."
Jiang Che didn't hesitate in the slightest, completely stunning Long Qianqiu.
Why?
Why could this guy make a Heavenly Dao Vow so casually? Did he not know how terrifying such vows were for cultivators?
Especially since he was a super genius with Four Immortal Physiques. If she used this vow to threaten Jiang Che—for instance, if she decided she didn't want the Dragon Pearl anymore... things could become incredibly complicated because of a single Heavenly Dao Vow.
But she didn't dwell on it. Her current goal was the Dragon Pearl!
As Jiang Che's Heavenly Dao Vow was established, two beams of golden light emerged from Jiang Che and the dragon girl, shooting into the sky and disappearing.
Seeing this, the dragon girl couldn't help but curl her lips into an inexplicable smile.
Success!
The Ancestral Dragon Pearl was within reach!
But she didn't know that right beside her, a stunning figure clad in white had long since appeared.
The Heavenly Dao's true form had manifested, personally overseeing the vow Jiang Che had made. However, the Heavenly Dao's gaze remained utterly placid. It was quite clear... even the Heavenly Dao itself now had requests of Jiang Che, let alone something like a Heavenly Dao Vow?
It was merely a joke to deceive a young girl.
And the poor dragon girl believed it was true, simply adorably naive!
Even the Heavenly Dao was on Jiang Che's side. How could anyone possibly play this game?
...
The dragon girl lowered her eyelids slightly. Though she appeared utterly bewitching, she was actually already very tense.
After all... once she took this step, it would be equivalent to directly cuckolding her fiancé.
That fiancé of hers was ranked third on the Nine Heavens Celestial Ranking, possessing the Vast Heaven Immortal Physique, with a cultivation already at the peak of Quasi-Emperor, Tenth Heaven. His master behind him was even a Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor!!!
Cuckolding him might bring the wrath of an Immortal Emperor upon the entire Jiang Family and even the Dragon Palace!
But she had no other choice. This was the only path. To become stronger... she would stop at nothing. Even if the entire Dragon Palace was destroyed, as long as she inherited the dragon heritage and became a True Dragon, the dragon race would not perish.
"Please... be gentle with me!" Long Qianqiu pinched the collar of her garment with one hand, preparing to undo her robes.
But Jiang Che stopped her, gripping her hand and halting her next move. The dragon girl looked up and met Jiang Che's calm eyes.
"You... seem to be hiding something in your heart?"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

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 were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. 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. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." 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...
