Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: If you are like this, none of us will have food to eat.
Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan were unfazed by the crane’s behavior. They were both aware of the crane’s mysterious nature. However, Ao Yan looked on with knitted brows and a wary demeanor.

She was extremely cautious around the crane, as though she was afraid it would harm Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing Ao Yan’s reaction touched Jiang Xiaobai, but he still spoke up.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

“Really?” Ao Yan furrowed her brows, still somewhat skeptical.

“Really, I’m fine. If he was hostile toward me, why would he have helped us?” Jiang Xiaobai reassured her with a relaxed smile, reaching out to touch her face.

Normally such a move would be a death wish, but this time Ao Yan only blushed a bit without dodging, and she didn’t even resist Jiang Xiaobai.

This reaction made him tremendously excited.

“Wow, when did my relationship with Ao Yan progress to this point?!”

He had no idea that ever since he left the Dragon Valley, Ao Yan’s attitude towards him had been changing.

This change became even more evident over the two to three months they were apart, as she worried about him continuously.

Ao Yan was completely different now.

Nor was she aware of the depth of her changing feelings.

“Stop your lovey-dovey act already. I have something important to discuss with this guy.” The crane nearby seemed somewhat exasperated.

Upon hearing this, Ao Yan was still worried, but it was out of her hands. Jiang Xiaobai forced himself up and pinched Ao Yan’s cheek in an attempt to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be right back,” he said softly, feeling thrilled to find his touch quite pleasant.

Ao Yan’s face flushed, and she nodded.

Following that, Jiang Xiaobai walked to a quiet spot not far away with the crane.

The crane stared at Jiang Xiaobai, shock and delight mixed in his eyes, but his expression was one of helplessness.

“Do you realize what you were doing just now?”

“What was I doing? Damn, big brother, I was trying to save my own life! If I hadn’t used these means, King Li would have killed me for sure!”

Jiang Xiaobai rushed to explain, “Also, how was I supposed to know you were around? If I had known that, I wouldn’t have had it so rough, right?”

Even though he phrased it that way, Jiang Xiaobai felt extremely grateful for the crane’s unexpected help.

He and the crane only had a passing acquaintance. But except for the first time when the crane forced him to go to Xiao Yuwei, the crane had been helping him.

It’s worth mentioning that the crane did say once, he owed Jiang Xiaobai.

“You might not understand the implications of karma,” the crane said in frustration. “I’m telling you, don’t reveal your karma unnecessarily. If some people find out, your life could be in danger.”

“Also, don’t misuse karma recklessly. Your use of Divine Purple Cloud Thunderbolt may feel good momentarily, but the consequences can be severe.”

At these words, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened.

“You…you actually know these things!”

“Is it that surprising that I know?”

The crane chuckled, “I know a lot of things. Use other techniques at your discretion, but remember, unless you are certain you’re done for, do not use karma.”

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

He was surprised that the crane knew about the consequences of using karma and by the crane’s words.

Misusing karma could lead to serious consequences?

“Could you explain that in more detail?” Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, confused. “I won’t ask about other stuff, but I am curious, why can’t I play after using these things?”

“The rules of this world are incomplete.”

The crane said softly, looking up at the sky worryingly.

“You have to understand, the Divine Purple Cloud Thunderbolt is a divine thunder of heaven’s law. Its terrifying power is irresistible, especially in this world.”

“Also, once this world is hit by Divine Purple Cloud Thunderbolt, it cannot withstand the impact.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai understood the crane’s point.

Briefly put, the moment the Purple Cloud Thunderbolt is used, not only can it obliterate Jiang Xiaobai’s enemies, it would also obliterate this world.

Realizing this, Jiang Xiaobai felt a pang of fear inside him.

He now also understood why the crane had watched on the sidelines before but suddenly appeared during the crucial moment.

If the crane hadn’t stepped in, King Li could’ve become hot-headed leading to a do-or-die situation, which would have meant the end for everyone!

That meant that Jiang Xiaobai was holding a game ender in his hands!

If used, it would be game over for all.

You want to upset the table and not let me eat?

Alright, then no one should expect to eat!

After understanding all this, Jiang Xiaobai became extremely cautious about karma. He also decided never to use it in the future unless faced with a life-or-death situation.

Or else, he wouldn’t even have a chance to regret.

“Karma is important. Only you in this world can obtain it, and you need to cherish it.”

The crane continued, “Okay, I just wanted to talk to you about this. Keep it in mind.”

At this, Jiang Xiaobai nodded, but quickly turned to the crane again.

“Wait a minute, how do you know so much? Who the hell are you?”

The crane shook his head and chuckled, looking at the distant sky as if recalling something from the past.

“You’ll find out eventually.”

The crane left, just like he arrived, without making a sound and without any explanation.

But before he left, he gave Jiang Xiaobai a few tokens, saying they would be useful.

Jiang Xiaobai returned to Ao Yan, looking at her with a goofy grin.

“Heh, I have prepared a lot of gifts for you. I’ll give them to you now.”

But before he could even finish his sentence, Ao Yan grabbed his hand.

“Let’s go back first. It’s still dangerous here.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded earnestly.

Time to go!

“Damn, finally we can go back. I almost suffocated!”

Ao Cheng clenched his fist, “Jiang Xiaobai, let me tell you, I almost lost my life because of you this time. When we get back, I’ll make sure you drink till you drop!”

“I accept your challenge!”

Jiang Xiaobai giggled.

“Upon returning, Liu Xi would still be waiting for me, and that ungrateful bastard Kong Yuhuai, who went straight back to Five Lotus Mountain after you left and hasn’t made a sound. I must settle this account with him!”

Ao Cheng kept grumbling, looking undeterred and audacious, not caring about his injuries at all.

Smack!

Of course, complacency often comes to a quick end. Ao Yan slapped Ao Cheng right on the back of his head.

“You seem awfully content. Are your wounds healed?”

“No, no, they’re not!”

Ao Cheng hurriedly pulled his head back, completely submitting himself.

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Then, the group hurried back to West Wind City, located in the center of the state.

Before he left, Jiang Xiaobai looked back at Northern State with a chilling gaze.

“After today’s defeat, I’ll pay you back tenfold next time!”

“Next time will be the day of reckoning for the Gu Clan!”
