Stunning Dragon Wife

Lin Qiao didn't know what her husband wanted to say to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Upon hearing her husband's words, she still left the small bedroom with her daughter.

After Lin Qiao and her daughter had left.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the dying man, and calmly said:

"You're not simple, you shouldn't be an ordinary person."

He said this with great confidence. Previously, when he'd mentioned that the man was poisoned, Lin Qiao seemed very shocked, yet the middle-aged man was quite calm.

It was obvious that the man knew he didn't have a terminal illness, but rather, he had other issues.

On the bed, the dying man forced a smile, then said:

"You're not an ordinary person either."

Zhang Xiaoshan neither acknowledged nor denied his words.

He was waiting for this man to continue, to say more about the situation.

The man didn't keep him waiting too long. After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said:

"I want to make a trade with you."

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and asked, "In your current state, do you still have something you could trade with me?"

"If you truly had some treasure on you, your wife and daughter wouldn't have fallen to such a state."

Zhang Xiaoshan's words filled the middle-aged man with deep shame.

But he did not dwell on this topic, and instead asked in return:

"From your words and actions, you should be a cultivator, right?"

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't answer, instead replying with a question:

"And you? Are you a cultivator?"

The middle-aged man gave a self-mocking laugh and said bitterly, "I used to be."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoshan extended two fingers to the man's shoulder to carefully feel.

The man's limbs and entire body's meridians had an extreme sense of depletion and decay.

But what truly shocked Zhang Xiaoshan was a dried up Spiritual Spring within the man's internal Dantian sea!

"Human Immortal?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the man before him, a look of shock appearing on his face!

A Qi Transformation Expert can easily thrive within their domain.

Above Qi Transformation, a Divine Realm Expert can intimidate a region.

Each Divine Realm Expert is a rare and highly revered existence.

And a Human Immortal is an even higher realm above the Divine Realm!

Describing a Human Immortal as being able to cover the sky with one hand might not be an exaggeration.

If they wished, most countries and city-states couldn't resist a Human Immortal Realm expert!

A single word from a Human Immortal Realm expert could become the law of a country!

"Cough…"

The middle-aged man weakly coughed and said with a sorrowful smile:

"Those were all things of the past."

"Moreover, so what if one is in the Human Immortal Realm?"

"Just a caged golden canary."

For a Human Immortal Realm expert to fall to this point indeed elicits a sigh.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan circulated his True Qi, slowly channeling it along the man's depleted meridians.

Under normal circumstances, a damaged meridian would improve with the nourishment of his True Qi.

However, the man's meridians showed no change.

As Zhang Xiaoshan's True Qi was about to flow into the man's Dantian Qi Sea, reaching the dried-up Spiritual Spring.

Countless talismans and ethereal chains suddenly emerged, completely dispelling his True Qi!

"Sigh…"

The middle-aged man sighed and said with a bitter smile:

"Don't waste your effort."

"The restrictions within my Dantian sea were left by experts beyond your imagination!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan's face couldn't help but show an expression of surprise again.

Having cultivated step by step to this day, there weren't many things that could surprise him anymore.

But this man's cultivation and his experience still left him baffled.

The matters here were evidently very deep!

While Zhang Xiaoshan was shocked, the middle-aged man was also pondering matters.

He thought for a long time before finally making a decision:

"You help me protect my wife and daughter, and ensure their safety!"

After the man finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't reply but waited for him to continue.

"In return, I'll give you the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Skill!"

"This is a very powerful technique, at a level beyond Heavenly, an Immortal-level!"

Hearing this reward, Zhang Xiaoshan narrowed his eyes slightly, beginning to weigh the pros and cons.

Given his current strength, even if he used all his trump cards, he wouldn't dare provoke a Human Immortal Realm expert.

Though an Immortal-level Skill is good, it's a hot potato, not easy to handle.

Perhaps seeing Zhang Xiaoshan's concerns, the man said with a bitter smile:

"You don't have to worry about a Human Immortal Realm expert causing you trouble."

"The person who placed the restriction in my body is my father."

"I come from an enormous family that ordinary cultivators can't even imagine."

"In my family, everything for everyone is pre-arranged by the family beforehand."

"We just have to act like puppets or living corpses, following the family's wishes."

"I had to expend considerable effort to escape from that cage."

"Moreover, I met Qiao Er and together we had Duoduo."

At this point, he shifted his focus and said:

"The family placed restrictions in our bodies to prevent us from leaving the family."

"These restrictions must be neutralized annually in the family's Spirit Pond."

"Otherwise, one's cultivation and vitality will gradually decline."

"Having finally escaped, I won't go back."

"After my death, those people won't be able to seek us out."

"My wife and child will only face worldly troubles."

"If you agree to protect them, allowing them a safe life, I'll give you the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Skill."

After he finished speaking, the man turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaoshan, waiting for his response.
