Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 6 - 6: 6: Would you believe that I can refine a pill with bare hands?



Chapter 6 - 6: 6: Would you believe that I can refine a pill with bare hands?

He was done for, he had misspoken!

Why won’t his brain cooperate with him at times like this!

“Ahem, it’s a misunderstanding, all of it, I meant to say I want to take your pulse!”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Ao Yan’s proud peaks.

If someone were to ask him if he was confident right now.

Jiang Xiaobai would definitely answer,

He wasn’t confident at all!

Ao Yan’s cold demeanor finally softened slightly, her eyes, still full of surprise, focused on Jiang Xiaobai.

He’s just a mortal. Could he detect any problems within her?

In fact, there was indeed a problem with her!

“You’re not a mortal?”

“Yeah, I just thought you seemed off. Taking your pulse should be fine. Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person!”

Jiang Xiaobai coughed dryly.

But Ao Yan remained silent, coldly staring at him.

“It wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot. Actually, I can make pills.”

Jiang Xiaobai cautiously probed further.

Even now, still without any standing in the Dragon Valley, he understood the need to demonstrate his capabilities in order to establish himself.

However, he dared not reveal his cultivation.

It’s not like he’s tricking Ao Yan; it’s just that there are too many skilled opponents in the Dragon Valley.

And today’s wedding was clearly not normal!

Everyone knew he was just a mortal snagged by Ao Yan. If his cultivation were suddenly revealed, people might suspect ulterior motives!

At that point, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clean his reputation.

He could only slowly plot, little by little, searching for opportunities!

He was confident, with the system by his side, there’d be no problem.

So, mentioning his ability to make pills was his first attempt to gauge Ao Yan’s reaction.

As expected, upon hearing his claim, Ao Yan’s face changed to one of extreme surprise.

“Laughable, you’re just a mortal, how could you know how to make pills?”

“Moreover, do you really think I’m going to believe you?”

Ao Yan waved her hand dismissively, “Enough. I did bring you here for my own motives, but you’re overreaching. We are from different worlds.”

“There’s a small room outside the courtyard. You will live there from now on. Tomorrow, I’ll check if you’re capable of cultivation; if you are, supplying you with resources for your cultivation wouldn’t be a problem.”

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.

He never expected Ao Yan’s attitude towards him to be like this!

That actually didn’t sound too bad, and if things continue like this, there might be a chance to win her over!

As long as the system lends its strength, he could win this wife over in minutes!

“Heh heh, don’t rush, I really know what I’m doing.”

Jiang Xiaobai said as he confidently reached out to take her hand. Ao Yan glanced at it, her expression still icy, but she extended her hand anyway.

She wanted to see what tricks this mortal had up his sleeve.

Taunting the guys in Dragon Valley had gotten somewhat boring.

Jiang Xiaobai played the part of a gentleman perfectly, taking her pulse very professionally.

He dared not use his inner strength; he was merely putting on a show, all he needed was one glance to know that there was a problem with Ao Yan.

“Get me some stationary and a pill furnace. Let me show you what I can do. After all, I’m your nominal husband. Although we come from different statuses, I mustn’t neglect my duty towards you, a maiden.”

For some reason, Ao Yan unexpectedly agreed!

Soon, the maids brought in the needed items.

“Congratulations, you’ve triggered a choice!”

“Choice one: Complete pill refining, reward is ten year cultivation.”

“Choice two: No matter what means, from hence, you live with Ao Yan in the same room. The reward is Heavenly Flame, Forge Fire of Heaven.”

There were two choices again!

And Jiang Xiaobai was forced to choose!

Because the system had already indicated, once a choice appears, and the host does not choose, an unbearable punishment will certainly befall!

After mulling it over, Jiang Xiaobai decided to go big!

After all, he needs to win Ao Yan over, might as well start with this step!

“Um, let’s make a deal, if I can really be of use, let me live here, okay?”

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly said.

Ao Yan snorted, “Aren’t you overreaching?”

“No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood. What I mean is, I sleep below, you sleep above.”

“Hm?” Ao Yan raised an eyebrow, her expression starting to become disgruntled.

“Ahem, I mean I’ll sleep on the floor, on the floor!”

Upon hearing that, Ao Yan pondered a bit, and finally nodded.

After all, in the eyes of everyone at the moment, Jiang Xiaobai was just a mortal without any cultivation.

Would she need to worry about a mortal?

One mistake was already made, but there will be no second one!

“Let’s see what you got.”

Ao Yan smirked playfully.

Jiang Xiaobai was certain, she had fallen into his trap!

He currently assumed that Ao Yan was a reasonable person, but when those incidents happened later, Jiang Xiaobai no longer dared to think so.

But that’s a story for another time.

Jiang Xiaobai started to prepare a pill, and his skilled movements were extraordinarily efficient!

To avoid exposing himself, he chose to use firewood for the alchemy process, instead of spirit fire.

He had no inhibitions about making pills right in front of Ao Yan, which left her astounded.

Because she found out, Jiang Xiaobai really knew how to make pills.

But how could a mortal make pills?

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t want to expose too much, so he used simple techniques. After all, he needed to hold onto his trump cards.

Meanwhile, he knew that what troubled Ao Yan was a fire poison.

This is the an extremely difficult issue to solve in the Tianxuan Continent.

Countless alchemists had racked their brains but none could rid the fire poison completely.

The only solution was to use pills, and then have a strong individual forcefully extract the fire poison.

However, Ao Yan was strong and her dragon blood was the purest in the Dragon Valley, no one could help her extract the fire poison.

The reason why Jiang Xiaobai could solve it was because of his alchemical skills.

Even though he only mastered one tenth of the skills, it didn’t mean that he only knew one tenth of the recipes. In fact, he knew all of them. It was just that his skill level was only at one tenth.

After preliminary testing, Jiang Xiaobai determined that the Tianxuan Continent was not as impressive as it seemed to be.

At least in terms of pill recipes, it appeared to be quite barren.

In less than five minutes, he had successfully made a Divine Purifying Pill.

This thing was specifically for ridding fire poison.

Fire poison is basically a toxin left behind after a long period of consuming pills, which inner strength could not dispel.

Pill refining could never be completely pure.

A saying goes, “Even medicine in small amount is three parts poison”, more so for these pills.

Only the Jiuzhuan Gold Pill made by Old Jun was an exception, for no other pill was free from side effects.

As he held the finished pill in hand, Jiang Xiaobai checked his own spirits and then cleared his throat.

“Ok, it’s done, give it a try.”

Ao Yan narrowed her eyes, subconsciously playing with the pill in her hand.

Right after, she felt that the aura emitted by this pill indeed alleviated a lot of her fire poison!

She looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise, and decided to give it a try in the end.

If there were any issues, the alchemists in the Dragon Valley would be able to solve it.

Once entering the mouth, the pill felt cool and refreshing with abundant medical strength.

Just in a moment, Ao Yan couldn’t believe her eyes.

The pill really worked and it had cleared a significant amount of her fire poison!

Although full recovery had not been achieved yet, it’s already quite the extraordinary accomplishment!

For a moment, her gaze at Jiang Xiaobai was as if she’d seen a ghost.

A mere mortal, could solve the problem of fire poison?
