A faint, elegant fragrance permeated the air.
On White Dew’s jade-white skin, a lingering blush from her passion remained, creating an alluring contrast with her cold temperament.
Her pair of small, cute Dragon Horns were currently held in Jiang Huai’s hands, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the delicate patterns on the horns.
Lifting her face, her icy blue eyes shimmered with a watery light, carrying a post-coital laziness and a hint of resentment as she softly murmured: “Are you like this with other women too? Do you bully them like this as well?”
Jiang Huai leaned lazily against a stack of large red soft pillows.
Hearing this, he looked down at her and spoke serious-sounding nonsense: “Yes, it’s all the same. I’m like this with Qin Qingyue too; they’re all very obedient.”
White Dew’s face was written all over with disbelief.
Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she asked suspiciously: “Really? Even Qin Qingyue would be like this?”
She found it hard to imagine that decisive junior, whose character she secretly admired, would be so submissive.
At this moment, she merely looked like a young, pampered wife.
“Yes.” Jiang Huai nodded without changing his expression, shamelessly confirming it.
White Dew remained skeptical, but seeing him so certain, she could only grumble softly: “Fine.”
In her heart, she still found it incredible.
Because of that lingering Misfortune, she had always kept an eye on that junior, Qin Qingyue, but they had never been close.
However, she had practically watched the child’s personality form; she was strong, sharp, and her will was as firm as iron.
If not for the tricks of Misfortune, White Dew would have personally stepped forward to support her, just as she had with Wu Zhaohua.
Now, hearing that she was also like this in front of Jiang Huai…
Thinking of this, a subtle sense of balance actually made White Dew’s mood brighten a bit, as if an invisible burden had been lifted.
If even she is like this, then what do I have to worry about? If I’m bullied, so be it. This is just my nature as a Dragon; it has nothing to do with me.
“Let’s perform the marital bows.”
Qin Qingyue had been in the Immortal Realm for three days.
After following Wu Zhaohua to get a general understanding of the distribution and status of the various powers in the Immortal Realm, she decisively decided to leave the Cloud Domain Immortal Territory, where they were temporarily staying, and set off for the White Dragon Immortal Domain.
“Are you going? I plan to find White Dew first.” Qin Qingyue wore black Battle Armor and held a pitch-black Spear.
Her ponytail was tied high, and her valiant figure exuded an aura of majesty that commanded respect without anger.
Wu Zhaohua stood up, her white clothes like snow and untainted by dust.
The Sword at her waist shimmered with a precious light, and her ethereal, transcendent temperament was more in line with the image of an ordinary Immortal than the restrained murderous intent of Qin Qingyue beside her.
“Of course I’m going.”
The Wenxuan Sect had no Root Foundation in the Immortal Realm; in this regard, her situation was similar to Qin Qingyue’s.
The Black Dragon Clan had a sphere of influence established for a long time, but for Qin Qingyue, who bore a blood feud, that place was no different from a tiger’s den.
“Aren’t you going to check the Black Dragon Immortal Domain?” Wu Zhaohua glanced at her, seemingly mentioning it casually.
“Do you want me to go pick a fight?” Qin Qingyue replied crossly.
“Jiang Huai said that since we’ve just arrived, we shouldn’t actively look for trouble.” Qin Qingyue had not yet understood Wu Zhaohua’s hint, but Zhuxin, who was nearby, immediately understood.
She walked quickly to Qin Qingyue’s side and analyzed in a low voice: “Main Wife, that might not be the case. If I were the Black Dragon Clan in the Immortal Realm, I would certainly set aside past grudges, push all the blame for the crimes in the Five Provinces Continent onto the branch, and then express the greatest Token of Sincerity and apologies to invite you, Main Wife, to acknowledge your ancestors and return to the Dragon Race. After all, Heavenly Immortal-level combatants are not very common in the Immortal Realm now.”
The major grudges were caused by the Dragon Race in the lower realm; what did they have to do with the kinsmen who had operated in the Immortal Realm for many years? In the face of interests, old grudges can be temporarily set aside.
Qin Qingyue pondered for a moment and finally waved her hand, her tone carrying a bit of weariness: “Forget it, we’ll discuss this later. I’ve survived all these years; I have no interest in acknowledging ancestors or returning to the clan.”
She had no obsession with it; her original intention was just to live a good life with Jiang Huai.
With that, the three of them departed in streaks of light, leaving behind the female Immortal who had received them in the Cloud Domain Immortal Territory with a look of extreme regret.
The female Immortal sighed in her heart: What a pity. If these two new Heavenly Immortals without roots could be recruited under her Immortal Venerable’s command, why would they need to worry about not being able to dominate a region?
When the three arrived at the White Dragon Clan settlement in the Immortal Realm, the current White Dragon Clan Leader told them unexpected news: White Dew had not ascended to the Immortal Realm. Not just White Dew, but all the Great Ascension Stage Elders of the White Dragon Clan from the Five Provinces Continent had not ascended.
“White Dew didn’t come? She’s still in the Five Provinces?” Qin Qingyue’s eyes burst with joy.
To her, this was undoubtedly wonderful news. If White Dew was still in the Five Provinces, given her strength and position, she would certainly protect Jiang Huai.
This meant that Jiang Huai had at least one top-tier Great Ascension combatant guarding him, capable of dealing with some high-end threats.
“Yes, we also know that almost all the Great Ascension Stage experts from the Five Provinces Continent have come; it must be the doing of the Outworld Heavenly Demon.”
The White Dragon Clan Leader was also a beautiful young girl.
She issued an invitation: “We want to return to the lower realm to help, but the Heavenly Gate to the Immortal Realm is closed. We still need the full support of you three. The White Dragon Clan will never sit idly by while the Outworld Heavenly Demon ravages the Five Provinces and slaughters living beings.”
“What do you mean?” Qin Qingyue was somewhat confused.
The Clan Leader sighed and explained: “Before the Primordial Era, very few members of our White Dragon Clan chose to ascend to the Immortal Realm. At that time, most of us fought side-by-side with the Yin-Yang Body of that generation, fighting to the death to resist external enemies until our last drop of blood was shed. Until the threat of the Outworld Heavenly Demon temporarily subsided, only then did the seniors of the clan ascend one after another to build influence here and connect with other Dragon Race branches. But over these many years, we have gradually discovered…”
The Clan Leader paused, her face showing solemnity and difficulty.
“This Immortal Realm doesn’t seem to be as safe as we initially imagined. It’s just that these natives have never fought against the Outworld Heavenly Demon, so they haven’t noticed at all.”
