"Alright, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.
Ao Yan was still in shock and ignored him.
Jiang Xiaobai paused.
Well, will this mother dragon go back on her word now?
"Madam?"
"Wife?"
"Daughter-in-law?"
"Darling..."
"Dare to blabber one more time?"
Ao Yan suddenly interrupted Jiang Xiaobai's nonsensical chatter, which left Jiang Xiaobai giving an embarrassed smile.
"Fine, that condition is acceptable."
After all, Jiang Xiaobai was just an ordinary human. Ao Yan wouldn't fear any trickery from him. If he turned obsessively muddle-headed, she could smack him to death with a sweep of her hand.
Then Ao Yan started to scrutinize Jiang Xiaobai, which made him feel quite uncomfortable under her gaze.
"You should know, I was betrothed to the Valley Master. People from the ancient family will arrive in Dragon Valley in a month. What the consequences will be for you then, you should know."
Ao Yan said, "But don't worry, I'll protect you. You were brought in by me, no one can harm you."
"You stay here for now, I'll be right back."
After saying this, Ao Yan quickly left the room.
After a while, ensuring that Ao Yan wouldn't be back, Jiang Xiaobai sat on the chair deep in thought.
Ao Yan was at least in the Dividing the gods phase, perhaps even higher!
Killing him, it's still as easy as swatting him.
Although he has somewhat stabilized the situation now, it isn't enough. How can he, the beneficiary of the System Dad, be satisfied with so little?
What he wanted to do was to stand tall in Dragon Valley!
Especially that ancient family, even daring to covet his wife, seeking death!
"No, I need to enhance my strength significantly within a month!"
Since he has already fulfilled the agreement, the system mission is also completed.
The Heavenly Artisan Fire, it's mine!
Jiang Xiaobai eagerly activated the Heavenly Artisan Fire, and a lump of pitch-black flame appeared in his hands.
The heat of the flame was terrifying!
And it consumed a significant amount of energy. Jiang Xiaobai guessed that this thing was fine for making elixirs, but was completely useless for other purposes!
It was mainly due to his insufficient level of cultivation!
After playing around with it for a bit, Jiang Xiaobai began to think about his current situation in the Dragon Valley.
Jiang Xiaobai was wary of one person, the Ao Tianheng who had screwed him at the wedding today.
Judging by his behavior, it was clear he was unhappy with Jiang Xiaobai's marriage to Ao Yan.
If this bastard started scheming behind his back, the current Jiang Xiaobai would not be able to handle it. A slightest misstep might lead to a complete restart.
But the biggest issue right now was the ancient family!
He realized now, Ao Yan did not want to marry into the ancient family. It seemed that she had no other choice but to turn to him, a mere mortal.
However, in Jiang Xiaobai's view, Ao Yan probably just wanted to use him to mess with the ancient family.
The life or death of a mere mortal like him was of little importance to Dragon Valley. No one cared about an ordinary person.
But now that Jiang Xiaobai had shown his pill concocting skills, that Hua Qing Dan, was definitely very important to Dragon Valley.
This was just the beginning!
"But I can't just sit here waiting for my doom!"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly stood up.
He had some ideas in his mind.
Although leaving Dragon Valley seemed like a good choice, the land was vast and he could go anywhere. With the system on his side, he was not afraid of being found.
But he couldn't leave Dragon Valley now. As soon as he did, those people from the wedding who he had offended would hear the news and might chase him to the ends of the earth.
He could fight one, but currently, he only had power, not the means, and not enough combat experience!
If those people knew he had escaped and all came at him together, he wouldn't be able to hold them off!
Ants could bite an elephant to death, this principle was very clear to Jiang Xiaobai.
Right now, his cultivation was too weak. Leaving the protection of Dragon Valley was tantamount to death.
After all, he was currently the son-in-law of Princess Dragon Valley. Even if these people wanted to harm him, they had to consider Dragon Valley's dignity.
It's like hitting a dog, you have to consider its owner's feelings, right?
Shutting the door tightly, the first thing Jiang Xiaobai did was to close his eyes and check his collections.
He had the Innate Dao body, the Mid-Yuan Infant cultivation level, one-tenth of the Laojun's Elixir Art, and the Heavenly Artisan Fire he just acquired.
These were all his strengths.
He also had a book on Nine Revolutions Skill, which was a heaven-defying body refining technique, explosively powerful.
Although it was a neutered version, it was strong enough!
After a little checking, Jiang Xiaobai was surprised to find out that his Nine Revolutions Skill had improved because he had gained several decades of cultivation in a row.
It was currently at the second turn stage.
Jiang Xiaobai excitedly clenched his fist, feeling tremendous power within his body.
This was a top-notch body refining technique!
It felt as if he could easily level the cottage with a punch.
This was an illusion caused by the rapid increase in cultivation. Soon, Jiang Xiaobai adjusted to the feeling after moving his body around.
Now, he had to find a way to deal with the ancient family within a short month!
Jiang Xiaobai straightened his clothes.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, pushed the door open, all in one go.
Outside, there was no sunlight left. It was evening.
Ao Yan was nowhere to be seen. There were more than a dozen maids in the courtyard. Seeing Jiang Xiaobai, they were all filled with respect.
He was their prince consort, after all. The attendants dared not defy him.
Not long after Jiang Xiaobai left the courtyard, he suddenly noticed a figure rushing towards him.
He could even feel the terrifying aura and intense hostility from the person.
Jiang Xiaobai was momentarily dumbfounded!
Though he had expected his situation to be perilous, he didn't expect to face danger as soon as he stepped out!
Before he could react, the figure had approached him. Looking closely, it was a majestic young man with an arrogant air.
Ao Cheng looked coldly at Jiang Xiaobai.
It was this guy who caused him to lose tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones today. Not only that, he also lost face.
Face was the most important thing in front of their brothers and sisters, nothing was more important.
Thinking of this, Ao Cheng felt an intense desire to smack Jiang Xiaobai to death.
Ao Cheng just stared at Jiang Xiaobai, not making a move.
Initially, Jiang Xiaobai put on a brave face, but as more time passed, he thought there was something wrong.
If this guy had a grudge against him and charged at him like this, then stopped and didn't make a move, it was obvious that he didn't dare to attack him. With this realization, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
Ao Cheng sneered, "You're a pretty interesting mortal."
"First, you angered so many people, and then you made me lose a lot of money on you."
"What confuses me the most is that you are still alive outside?"
As he said this, Ao Cheng gritted his teeth. It was clear that his hatred for Jiang Xiaobai was more than just a little bit.
However, Jiang Xiaobai picked up on an important piece of information.
This person placed bets on him? And then lost a fortune?
"To introduce myself, my name is Ao Cheng, and Ao Yan is my biological sister."
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked.
Oh, this is my brother-in-law!
