NOVEL NEXT Chapter 222 Such a Golden Dragon
Three days!
Xuan Er's expression became serious upon hearing this timeframe.
"Anyway, it is what it is now. We'll just have to see how Xia Yi and Zhou Zheng, the two emperors, strategize in the end!"
The others nodded in agreement with what Chen Xuan said.
"I wonder what methods Your Majesty will use to deal with the Demon Race."
Ye Yilan looked worried at this moment as well.
Although he knew Xia Yi was strong, on any ordinary day, he would firmly believe that with Xia Yi around, nothing was a problem.
However,
The Demon Race they are facing this time is an entity even ancient times couldn't contend with.
"Can Your Majesty really manage?"
His heart was starting to waver.
"Regarding the battle being paused, why has Great Xia still deployed all their forces here?"
Chen Xuan was quite puzzled by this.
Could it be that the Demon Race would indeed descend here?
Why are they so certain?
"I don't know!"
Ye Yilan shook his head; he had tried to gather information lately, but no one knew what Qi Lin and Xia Lingyu were thinking.
Not only that, it's the same for Great Zhou.
"Alright, I'm going out for a bit!"
This matter still required him to enquire personally; Ye Yilan didn't have the qualifications yet.
...
"Are you saying the Demon Race will descend in this area?"
Chen Xuan looked at Xia Lingyu with slight frowning.
It was indeed as he had guessed.
But...
How did she know?
"Yes, my father calculated it, but I don't know the specifics!"
When the crack appeared, she had already sent word to Xia Yi, suggesting the redeployment of forces back to the Five States and the Imperial City.
However, the suggestion was refused.
The reason was that as long as they guarded this area, the Nine Provinces would be safe.
Though she found it puzzling, she could only comply.
"Also, you need to go to Great Zhou to bring back the gold dragon, and it must be within the next three days. The grand array requires him to be the core!"
Xia Lingyu's expression was extremely serious.
With just three days left, regardless of whether Cai Feng could evolve to the king level, the gold dragon had to return.
Otherwise, if the Demon Race descends, the array without the gold dragon would be troublesome.
Chen Xuan understood the gravity of the situation upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "I'll go right now!"
Then he directly utilized a divine speed technique to head to Great Zhou's Imperial City.
...
Inside Taihe Palace.
Zhou Zheng felt anxious in his heart at this moment.
Time was running short, yet Cai Feng still hadn't evolved.
"Buzz!"
The space trembled like water waves, and Chen Xuan's figure slowly appeared.
He immediately looked at Cai Feng in mid-air.
Instantly, his brow furrowed.
"Is three days enough?"
"I hope it is!"
For Zhou Zheng's response, Chen Xuan could only sigh helplessly; this Cai Feng was truly useless.
Having consumed the royal-level blood essence of the gold dragon and received his assistance, it had still failed to evolve to the king level after so long.
"Is there another way?"
Chen Xuan asked the gold dragon floating in the air.
"Yes! You two leave first!"
The gold dragon spoke.
"What?"
Not only him, but Zhou Zheng also looked at him puzzled.
"This is a secret technique, it can't be disclosed, you'll wait outside!"
Seeing the two still hesitant, the gold dragon spoke again, "If you want Cai Feng to evolve to the king level, leave!"
This compelled Chen Xuan and Zhou Zheng to leave Taihe Palace.
As soon as they left, a dragon's roar was heard, followed by an immense oppressive force.
"Chirp chirp....."
The sound of a phoenix cry could be heard, but it sounded hesitant.
"┗|｀O′|┛Awoo~~"
The gold dragon roared again.
"Chirp chirp....."
"┗|｀O′|┛Awoo~~"
...
Outside, Zhou Zheng appeared perplexed.
Yet Chen Xuan showed an odd smile.
He had previously transformed to look like the Demon Race, so he understood.
No wonder the gold dragon wanted them to leave; it was using this method.
"Why are you smiling?"
Zhou Zheng asked upon seeing his expression.
"If you understood, you'd be laughing too!"
Chen Xuan feigned a mysterious air; the conversation between the dragon and phoenix translated to this...
"Phoenix, should I help you?"
"How?"
"Just like that!"
"No, no... I'm too young!"
"We have no choice; without this, you can't evolve to the king level. I'm doing this for your sake!"
....
Isn't this just an old pervert corrupting an innocent young girl!
At that moment, a peculiar sound came from within the hall.
By now, Zhou Zheng finally understood the method the gold dragon used, and his face turned livid.
If Chen Xuan hadn't stopped him, he might have barged in.
How outrageous!
"Alright, alright, the gold dragon has no other choice. Besides, it's for the Nine Provinces, just endure it!"
"Hmph!"
Faced with his persuasion, Zhou Zheng gave a cold snort.
The National Spirit of his Great Zhou was actually being... by the Gold Dragon of the Great Xia in there...
He couldn't even say it!
This was simply an insult to him and the Great Zhou!
"You're no better either!"
Zhou Zheng vented his anger on Chen Xuan.
"What's it got to do with me, it's not like I wanted the Gold Dragon to do that! Besides, wasn't it that Cai Feng who couldn't measure up?"
Chen Xuan was feeling quite wronged.
He was also inwardly cursing the damned Gold Dragon.
You had your fun, and I got scolded!
What kind of deal is this, not only that, but two experts of the Nine Layers of Purity were outside, like they were guarding him.
Think about it, it's really absurd.
...
It must be said, the Gold Dragon's fighting power is indeed strong, it's been a whole day, and it's not over yet.
"No wonder they say dragon whips are a great tonic! If it's this fantastic, how can it not be a great tonic!"
Chen Xuan was also calculating in his heart, when the time comes to kill a few from the Black Dragon Race, keep some dragon whips, and replenish with them later?
It was at this moment,
"┗|｀O′|┛ Aww~~..."
A long dragon's roar sounded, unending, lasting a full fifteen minutes.
"This... so much?"
Chen Xuan's expression was peculiar, wouldn't a normal person just shiver?
This dragon has a real stockpile!
"Come in!"
At this moment, the Gold Dragon's voice sounded in his ear.
The two immediately entered the great hall, at this moment the Gold Dragon looked listless, while Cai Feng was the complete opposite, her aura was rising at an astonishing speed.
"Enough, Chen Xuan take me back! I need to go to the great formation over there to recuperate, this time I've damaged my vitality!"
The Gold Dragon's voice was somewhat weak.
Seeing him like that, even Zhou Zheng, who was initially full of anger, dissipated a bit of his fury.
However, he still looked at the Gold Dragon with icy eyes.
Although it's something that couldn't be helped, this was Great Xia's humiliation to Great Zhou, barefaced in front of him!
Seeing the atmosphere was off, Chen Xuan instantly moved to the Gold Dragon's side, said nothing, and took him away from this place of trouble using his divine foot technique.
...
"I'm exhausted!"
On the altar of Great Xia, a man and a dragon appeared out of thin air.
At this moment, the Gold Dragon didn't have any of that previous listless appearance, looking excited, though still a bit unfulfilled.
"You put on a good act!"
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly with disdain, "You just eat and run, not even pausing, you're just a dragondirt!"
"Hehe!"
The Gold Dragon chuckled, not embarrassed in the slightest despite being mocked, shamelessly saying, "You can't blame me, if Cai Feng evolves into the King level, when she gets mad, I wouldn't be able to escape!"
"You have no idea how terrifying a King-level Cai Feng is!"
Saying this, there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
"And you still dared?"
"Weren't you the one who asked? I just went with the flow!"
"Get lost!"
Chen Xuan exploded, cursing, having never seen someone as shameless as this dragon.
"What are you two talking about?"
As soon as the man and dragon appeared, they were speaking in a way she couldn't understand, and seeing them about to start fighting, she couldn't help but ask.
"Ask him yourself?"
With that said, he left immediately.
After Chen Xuan left, Xia Lingyu looked at the Gold Dragon again, but was ignored by him, as he coiled his long dragon body into a tower shape and closed his eyes, "I'm too tired, need to rest!"
And Xia Lingyu was completely baffled! She couldn't understand what had happened at all!
...
Night!
Ink Moon Inn!
Chen Xuan and several women gathered around the table, having dinner.
But it lacked the usual relaxed atmosphere, the faces of the women were all filled with worry.
To this, Chen Xuan sighed helplessly in his heart.
But still he said, "We might not necessarily lose, no need to be like this!"
"Are we really going to die?"
Su Wanqiu spoke, her expression full of unwillingness, not because she was afraid to die, but... her head lowered, her hands touching her belly.
Her child wasn't born yet, hadn't seen the world, hadn't met her and Chen Xuan...
She was truly unwilling.
Thinking of this, her eyes were already wet, and she couldn't help but start to sob.
"Sister...."
Su Yun stood up, hugging her, but now, Su Wanqiu cried even harder.
"Enough! Making it seem like defeat is inevitable!"
Chen Xuan raised his voice a few notches, but then softened again, "Our whole family is together, no matter the outcome, that's enough!"
"Come, eat!"
With that, he started eating heartily.
...
Late at night, Chen Xuan held Su Wanqiu.
Neither of them had fallen asleep.
"Husband, I still miss the times we had in Shuanggang Village, even if what we ate and wore weren't as good as now, the three of us were very happy!"
Su Wanqiu reminisced as she spoke slowly.
"And, I'm sorry, I lost my composure tonight and made you upset!"
As she said this, she slightly raised her head, looking at him apologetically.
"Silly, it's human nature, who wouldn't feel this way, and besides, we're husband and wife, what's there to apologize for!"
Chen Xuan placed his hand on her belly, smooth and delicate, but with no evil thoughts.
"It's just that he came at a bad time! But—"
"I refuse to believe that I'll definitely lose to those beasts!"
Chen Xuan squinted his eyes, damn it, even if he was outmatched, he would take down a few with him.
And!
Previously, he was very resistant to the idea of converting his bloodline, but now he has changed his mind, and certainly not to survive by any means!
For the sake of... hmph hmph!
