Chapter 113 - 113: 113 Arrival of the Ancient Clan
What really puzzled Ao Yan, however, was that after cycling for a round and carefully inspecting the bike, she couldn’t find any formations or spirit stones, which astounded her even more.
It didn’t require spirit stones, it didn’t require any formations, and it even moved without her needing to channel her spirit energy when operating it. It was beyond Ao Yan’s understanding.
“How did you achieve this?” Ao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaobai in astonishment.
Jiang Xiaobai was suddenly at a loss for words. Scratching his head, unsure of how to explain, he finally said, “I don’t know how it works. I just learned how to make it from craftsmen when I was a kid.”
“Is this thing common in your hometown?” Ao Yan raised her eyebrows. She thought about it but found, to her surprise, that she had never heard of such a thing before.
“It’s very common, and my hometown is beautiful and picturesque. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll take you to see it,” Jiang Xiaobai casually responded.
However, Ao Yan’s expression immediately cooled down.
Jiang Xiaobai was unaware that in this place, if a man offered to take a woman back to his hometown, it carried a special implication. Ao Yan had obviously misunderstood Jiang Xiaobai.
“But I don’t know if I can find it…”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai started to murmur again, then he rapidly shook his head. “Don’t worry, there are plenty of these little things in my hometown. I’ll make them for you to see.”
Soon after, Jiang Xiaobai began gathering wood and crafting things. He made a wind-up frog to start, which hopped around on the ground once wound up, captivating Ao Yan.
Then, he crafted various novel items: a Rubik’s cube, a nine-ring puzzle, car models, airplane models, all faithfully recreated from wood.
Considering he was in the late stages of Yuan Infant realm and had the alchemical skills of LaoEr, crafting such intricate works was rather simple for him.
So, Jiang Xiaobai spent time crafting toys for Ao Yan to observe while casually chatting on a small hill, and time flew by quickly. By the time they realized, it was already evening.
The sunset slowly descended in the distance, coloring the horizon a splendid red. It was breathtaking.
In front of the pair, the ground was filled with small crafted items. They had a bit of everything. Upon closer inspection, there were even children’s toys, and there was even a wooden model of Ultraman amongst them!
“There’s a little wooden cabin over there. We can store everything inside. Later when I have some spare time, I’ll make things for you here,” Jiang Xiaobai said casually, pointing at the nearby cabin with a smile.
Ao Yan nodded indifferently. As she watched Jiang Xiaobai stuffing everything into the cabin, an inexplicable thought rose in her mind.
This place belongs to the both of them.
Such a feeling made her feel confused, but she didn’t pay it much mind. In her view, her feelings towards Jiang Xiaobai were at most that he had become more pleasing to her eyes, but the idea of becoming husband and wife with him had never crossed her mind.
In fact, she deemed it completely impossible; they were from two different worlds.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was secretly nodding to himself. This was his deliberate arrangement. He intentionally made a cabin full of toys to leave a deeper impression on Ao Yan.
He had no idea where he had learned this method from in his previous life, but seeing Ao Yan’s reactions today, it seemed to be working rather well.
Subsequently, Jiang Xiaobai had even more plans for Ao Yan.
After packing everything, they slowly headed back, with Ao Yan leading the
way and Jiang Xiaobai following; they appeared like a superior and
subordinate.
However, in reality, neither Jiang Xiaobai nor Ao Yan considered their relationship in this way.
Upon their return, Jiang Xiaobai prepared yet another delicious meal for Ao Yan before they went to sleep.
Even though he knew the Gu clan would be descending on them the next day, Jiang Xiaobai felt unusual calmness.
“I’ve done everything I could. After doing my best, it’s up to fate. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just fight my way through,” Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself with a cold-hearted determination.
The following day, early in the morning.
In a dense forest outside Dragon Valley, three figures wrapped in black bandages were hiding in the tree branches.
“Big Brother, this kid has a great relationship with Dragon Valley!”
“Second Brother is right. What should we do now?”
“Hmph, what else can we do but wait? Anyway, our employer gave us a month.
If this kid doesn’t come out, won’t we be getting money for nothing?”
Upon hearing these words, the idiotic Second Brother, and Third Brother, were completely dumbfounded. “Big brother is mighty!”
“Big brother is wise! ”
Listening to the flattery of his brothers, there was a proud expression in the eyes of the idiot First Brother.
“Big brother, look! Those seem to be people from the Gu clan!”
The three of them instantly looked in one direction. A team of more than a hundred people were flying in the sky and landed before the entrance of Dragon Valley.
One common feature of these people was that they were all wearing gray clothes, and each one had an embroidered red “Gu” character on them. Everyone in the Eastern Domain knew that this represented the Gu clan!
Gu Bei, dressed in a black robe, had a firm and upright posture and an imposing appearance, with a look full of unquestionable authority and majesty.
Unlike Ao Yan’s chilliness, Gu Bei exuded a powerful aura of superiority. At the sight of him, one felt they were in the presence of a born leader; such was his unique charm.
Standing in front of the Dragon Valley gate, Gu Bei appeared serene, his gaze calmly scanning the scene before him.
The last time he was here was twenty years ago. Back then, he had just established his position within his clan, and the elders wanted him to marry the princess of Dragon Valley.
At that time, he had just risen from being a loser. His ambitions slowly started sprouting, despite his lingering humility.
The first time he came to Dragon Valley, Gu Bei didn’t want to marry the Dragon Valley princess. In his eyes, whatever he achieved was the result of his own efforts. He looked down on the idea of securing his position through marriage. However, he was taken aback by Ao Yan’s unique, cool temperament when he saw her for the first time, gradually becoming captivated by her.
After that, Gu Bei’s ambition grew.
He not only wanted to become the next head of the Gu clan, but he also wanted to take Dragon Valley’s princess, Ao Yan, as his wife.
Although the first time they met, Ao Yan was stronger than him and paid no attention to him, but after years of pursuing, Gu Bei now had entered the early stages of Dividing the Gods realm. He had a feeling that he was about to break through.
With these advancements, Gu Bei was very confident about marrying Ao Yan this time..
