Chapter 82 - 82 1 have nowhere to sleep!
Jiang Xiaobai gently places his hand on Ao Yan’s wrist, distinctly feeling a tremor from her.
Subconsciously, Jiang Xiaobai looks up at her.
He sees Ao Yan’s indifferent eyes, and her countenance is icy, as frigid as frost.
“What are you looking at!” Ao Yan glares at him with irritation.
She hasn’t been this intimate with a man before. Her previous altercation with Jiang Xiaobai was accidental.
But this time, she willingly interacted.
Thus her heart feels choked up, strange emotions constantly fermenting within her.
She almost wanted to slap Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai quickly lowers his head and starts to concentrate on sensing the strength of Ao Yan’s bloodline.
He really wasn’t familiar with this stuff.
But with the presence of the old Jun’s pill refining technique, he could still make a rough analysis.
If he didn’t analyze, it would have been alright, but on analyzing, he was taken aback.
This damned bloodline was too potent!
The intensity was so high that the innate power within the bloodline was enough to make anyone palpitate.
“Success!”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t contain his excitement.
With such a potent bloodline, the pill would certainly activate Ao Yan’s bloodline completely!
“What does that mean?” Ao Yan raises an eyebrow at him.
‘”Success’ means once you take this pill, it will stimulate your bloodline within seven days!”
Jiang Xiaobai excitedly explained, “Not only it has no side effects, but it can also help you absorb more strength from your bloodline. This way, your strength-enhancing speed would rocket up quickly, just like shooting up into the sky in an instant.”
“Rocket? Whoosh…whooshing?”
Ao Yan was left dumbfounded by Jiang Xiaobai’s metaphors.
But she understood one thing – Jiang Xiaobai’s method was working!
“Come on, no time to lose, let’s take it quickly.” Jiang Xiaobai tried to force-feed the pill into Ao Yan’s mouth
He noticed a playful look in Ao Yan’s eyes, horrifying him and causing beads of cold sweat to trickle down his back.
“Cough cough, too excited there. You should quickly eat it. I’ve also got some other pills here that could help you.”
Jiang Xiaobai coughed and tried to laugh it off.
Ao Yan chuckled softly, shook her head, and her focus returned to the pill.
The pill looked appealing and emitted a mysterious aura.
Ao Yan had doubts initially, but after careful consideration, she realized that her bloodline was humming softly, highly active.
“Perhaps it is an opportunity.”
“It wouldn’t hurt to try.”
Ao Yan murmured to herself, and with a determined inhalation, she picked up the pill and put it in her mouth.
As the cherry-like lips open and shut, the pill dissolves and its pure potency spreads all over her body.
In an instant, her bloodline starts to tremble vigorously, constantly integrating with her own body.
The strength inside her bloodline made her beautiful eyes flutter.
It could really work!
At this time, a bunch of pills appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.
“Quick, down these while you can. It can protect your heart meridian from the overpowering strength of the bloodline, preventing any serious damage.” Jiang Xiaobai hands her a red pill.
Ao Yan, fully trusting Jiang Xiaobai now, swallows the pill without thinking.
Nearly eight pills in, Ao Yan felt her internal conditions easing a bit.
Her bloodline is still vigorously integrating with her body, but it is not as violent anymore.
“I have to close myself off. You’ll deal with them tomorrow!”
Leaving behind that comment, Ao Yan ran into the room and in an instance, an intimidating presence enveloped the entire chamber.
Jiang Xiaobai was left dumbfounded.
“But… what… what should I do?”
“I have no place to sleep!”
“Damn!”
Jiang Xiaobai grips his hair in stress.
You could’ve gone to the practice room for closing off, it would have been safer than here!
But he had no choice, he knew that this was a crucial moment for Ao Yan and she couldn’t be disturbed.
Jiang Xiaobai sighed, asked the maids to tidy up the courtyard, while he went to the Dragon Palace and brought Ao Wan and Ao Zhenbei over.
After learning about the situation, both Ao Wan and Ao Zhenbei had ecstatic expressions.
“If Yan’er could make a breakthrough, we wouldn’t have to fear the Gu clan this time!”
“Indeed, Martial Sea Immortal Venerable is on his way, probably arriving within three days!”
Ao Wan’s face turned red due to excitement, his grateful gaze at Jiang Xiaobai said a lot.
He knew that Ao Yan had this opportunity because of Jiang Xiaobai.
But now was not the time for gratitude speeches.
Ao Wan gathered all the experts in Dragon Valley and had the courtyard surrounded tightly, layer upon layer.
No enemies, not even a mosquito, could enter.
As for Jiang Xiaobai, he was driven to Ao Cheng’s mansion.
“Hahaha, Jiang Xiaobai, you’re saved this time! If my sister successfully makes the breakthrough, not the Gu clan, no one else could challenge the people standing with Dragon Valley!”
Ao Cheng patted Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulders and roared with laughter.
Jiang Xiaobai just nods, without giving too much importance.
He always only trusted himself, only believed that the strength of his own fists was the hard truth, that alone could ensure his safety in this world. Even if Ao Yan could fend off the Gu Clan once, what then?
Would Gu clan never target him again?
Moreover, the Gu Clan still had their men lurking within Dragon Valley. If pushed to the edge, they would surely attack him.
With these thoughts, far from feeling relaxed, Jiang Xiaobai increasingly felt a sense of impending crisis.
“Hmm, those fellows from the Gu Clan need to be dealt with, and if possible, eliminated.”
“Wonder how the plan is going…”
Staring at the moonlit night, Jiang Xiaobai leaned against a big rock and lost himself in deep thought.
Within a big city tens of thousands of miles away from Tianyuan City, the Hongwu Trading Company’s auction was very fierce.
Everyone was fighting tooth and nail to get their hands on a Huaging Pill.
Though this auction only had five Huaging Pills, there were simply too many interested parties vying for too little.
Despite Hongwu Trading Company not having much time to promote the event, the auction house was packed.
GuBei sat in the finest private suite, knit his brows.
The demand for Huaging Pills exceeded his expectations. Although the Gu Clan had already arranged with Golden Eagle Pavilion to get a certain share of Huaging Pills.
But who wouldn’t want more of such a thing?
For the first three pills of this auction, GuBei didn’t participate in the bidding. As such, he was determined to get the last two.
As a result, the competition was fierce!
In the end, GuBei managed to get two Huaging Pills at a great cost.
He quickly inspected the pills. They seemed impressive, better than the ones the Gu Clan had.
“Though we lost some spirit stones, the gain is worth it.”
He knew that if they managed to snatch all the Huaging Pills from the neighboring big cities, it would count as a major accomplishment.
The position of the Gu clan would further escalate.
GuBei was resolute within a moment.
Regardless of the expenditure, he would gather all those Huaging Pills..
