Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 158 - 158: 158 AnRan

Seeing the colossal bear charging at him like a locomotive, Jiang Xiaobai clenched his teeth and snorted coldly. He aimed his early-stage spirit sword at the bear’s knee and jabbed.

With a ‘puchi’ sound, the sword pierced effortlessly through the skin, flesh, and bone of the bear. Even though the bear was a monster in the late

Transcendence stage, with a massive bulk and formidable battle capabilities, it still smacked Jiang Xiaobai with its other paw after getting pierced in the knee.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t have time to dodge and was hit and slung into a nearby mountain by the bear, like a cannonball fired at high speed.

The rocky face was cluttered with cracks, and Jiang Xiaobai spat out a mouthful of blood.

Getting up from the ground, Jiang Xiaobai sprinkled some healing pills into his mouth, his eyes filled with burning determination for battle.

Not far from him, the bear was covered in gruesome wounds, its blood dyeing it red. Even though the creature had thick skin and meat, its combat capabilities barely decreased after such injury.

“Damn! I don’t have many combat methods after all! Hey system, you should reward me by enhancing some of my attacking power!”

Grunting irritably, Jiang Xiaobai once again lifted his sword to engage in a deathmatch with the bear…

Two hours later, it was pitch-dark. Jiang Xiaobai was sitting, wounded all over, in front of a fire, rotating a bear’s paw being roasted on the grill. Beside him, in another fire, a pot was brewing bear gall soup.

He had fought the colossal bear in the afternoon. In the end, Jiang Xiaobai merely managed to exhaust the bear to death using his healing pills. The realm of a monster wasn’t the same as a cultivator, the former was definitely

stronger than the latter of the same stage.

After the battle with the colossal bear, Jiang Xiaobai realized, apart from his inadequate strength and cultivation, he had another serious issue.

That was his lack of depth.

Other cultivators had plenty of abilities by hand, both for far and near combat, while he only had a sword technique, which was insufficient.

Thus, while roasting the meat, Jiang Xiaobai pondered whether he should put his plan on hold and work on building his strength and cultivation in the future.

The roasted meat soon spread its delicious aroma. The meat soup, bubbling at the side, also started giving off white steam. Just the smell alone made Jiang Xiaobai swallow his saliva.

“Time to feast! What could be more important than good food?”

Jiang Xiaobai immediately licked his lips, tearing off a piece of tender bear meat and started eating. Just then he heard a rustling sound from the side and instantly narrowed his eyes, looking towards the source of the sound.

Over there, the dark bushes were shaking, and the sound was getting closer.

Jiang Xiaobai slowly put down the bear paw in his hand and gripped his sword tightly. Just then, a shadow suddenly leaped out from the bushes. It was a chubby little kid.

“Wow, this smells so good!”

The chubby boy stared hungrily at the roasted bear’s paw, swallowing constantly.

Jiang Xiaobai frowned. It was strange to see someone appear in this deserted mountain area, especially a chubby boy who didn’t look particularly powerful. After extending his senses, Jiang Xiaobai found that the boy was only at the late Yuan Infant stage.

“Um, bro, I’ll give you a hundred high-quality spirit stones. Could you share half of this bear paw with me?” The chubby boy looked eagerly at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai paused, then nodded.

The chubby boy immediately threw out a hundred high-quality spirit stones, then ran over to Jiang Xiaobai’s side, grabbed the bear paw, tore off a chunk, and stuffed it into his mouth eagerly.

He looked as if he hadn’t eaten in hundreds of years.

He sniffed the bear meat and then swiftly noticed the pot of soup. Without hesitation, he took a large spoon and started gulping it down.

With such behavior, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but suspect that this boy was a professional freeloader.

After a short while, the chubby boy finished his share, and eating fast, it wasn’t even halfway through Jiang Xiaobai’s portion.

“Can I have some more? I’m really hungry. It’s been three days since I’ve had a hot meal.” The chubby boy began to look pitiful as he spoke.

“Being through such hardship?”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed, saying, “Since you gave me spirit stones, you can eat all of it. I’ll roast some more.’

At that, the chubby boy perked up immediately, snatched the bear paw from Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, and started devouring it, while also giving Jiang Xiaobai a thumbs up.

“Bro, I must say you have an amazing cooking skill.”

After finishing his food, the chubby boy watched Jiang Xiaobai roasting meat.

He wiped his oily hands on his chest and then extended a hand to Jiang

Xiaobai, “My name is AnRan. You can call me An Fatso.”

“Jiang Bai.” Jiang Xiaobai casually replied. “Are you alone in these deserted mountains?”

“Yes, you wouldn’t know. My old man is just a beast. The Mad Demon Secret Land is about to open, and he actually wants me to go in.”

An Fatso sobbed pitifully, “He forced me into that kill-or-be-killed place. Not only that, he kicked me out of the house without giving me any food or protection, just let me go on my own!”

“Do you think any father would do that?”

Jiang Xiaobai was genuinely astonished, “Do you always talk so rudely to your father?”

“Psh, nothing big. I always call him an old grouch at home, and he calls me a turtle’s son.”

An Fatso sniffed, “Jiang Bai, are you also going to the Mad Demon Secret

Land?”

“What is the Mad Demon Secret Land?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

Hearing that, AnRan’s eyes widened in surprise, as if he were a modern person seeing a primitive man for the first time.

“You don’t know about the Mad Demon Secret Land?”

“Should I?”

“My God! It’s the most famous training holy land in the entire Thousand Yuan Dynasty. Those who go there can improve a lot in cultivation and talent. They also receive a lot of treasures. Anyone who doesn’t quit the trials and can come out from there will eventually become a well-known individual. How can you not know?” AnRan exclaimed.

After listening to AnRan’s words, Jiang Xiaobai got a rough understanding of the situation with the Mad Demon Secret Land.

This was entirely a place controlled by the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. The Mad Demon Secret Land opened once every five years, and there were only three hundred entry spots. Apart from the twenty that the Thousand Yuan Dynasty took, others had to be purchased.

Each spot was worth fifty million high-quality spirit stones, a fixed price, and no bargain allowed.

This had been the case for hundreds of years.

The Mad Demon Secret Land was an excellent place, full of opportunities. It was not uncommon for someone to become famous instantly after coming out..
