Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 248: 248: Charge for Saving a Life

Most of them were independent cultivators. After all, the truly powerful sects would travel in groups, deciding the distribution of Frenzy Demon Stones after gathering as many as possible.

Independent cultivators, in contrast, ventured out solo in order to seize a greater number of opportunities. It was this approach that gave the mad dogs the chance to capture them.

Zhuang Huanling was a complete anomaly.

Once she’d assessed the group’s overall strength, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

They were too weak.

Even if some revealed their ultimate techniques, their cultivation levels were far from meeting Zhuang Huanling’s expectations.

But there was no other choice, they only had this handful of people. Their only hope of escaping was to put everything on the line and fight for their lives.

Otherwise, they would simply die here, drying out into jerky.

At this point, Zhuang Huanling suddenly thought about AnRan. This bastard had been messing around with Hong Shixian and no doubt had some tricks up his sleeve.

As Zhuang Huanling glanced over, she found AnRan’s eyes, akin to green demons, staring at her, giving her the chills.

“Fatty, what are you looking at? Hurry up and come here, let’s figure out how to get out of here!”

Zhuang Huanling instantly yelled at AnRan.

The result, AnRan completely ignored her.

Moreover, the fat man stood up with extreme arrogance: “I advise you not to waste your energy. With your lousy group, there’s no chance of getting out.”

“You son of a bitch, what did you just say?”

Someone was annoyed with AnRan for quite a while, and under the high-pressure situation of life and death, he exploded.

“Fatty, you have three breaths to kneel down and apologize, otherwise my Ghost-Headed Great Knife won’t show mercy.”

A cultivator in the advanced stages of Transcendence stood up, a cold aura radiating from the Ghost-Headed Great Knife in his hand.

Many others also glared at AnRan with displeasure.

“A piece of shit like him, we’re here trying our best to devise a way to escape, and he dares to utter such sarcastic words?”

“Hmph, he must be hoping to slip out with us, but is that possible?”

“We’ll use him as bait for the dogs first.”

Amongst the cold mocking of the crowd, AnRan showed no fear and even revealed an extremely provocative expression.

“Oh, wow, I’m so scared. If you guys are so capable, break out on your own, I won’t bother saving you.” AnRan said with a smirk.

The veins on many people’s foreheads bulged with anger, and a few people even drew their swords.

He was too offensive.

Still, there were some who kept their cool.

Upon hearing AnRan’s words, Zhuang Huanling immediately furrowed her brows: “Do you have a way out?”

“Of course, I’ve just figured out a plan.”

AnRan chuckled.

“Bullshit! With your poor skills, what can you do?” A man couldn’t help but say: “Come on then, tell us so we can see what brilliant insight you have.”

“Wanna hear it? Sorry, I’m not telling.”

“Hmph, at a time like this, he still wants to make a fool of us. Does he really think we can’t get out without him?”

The man wielding the Ghost-Headed Great Knife couldn’t hold back anymore, and, brandishing his blade, he slowly walked towards AnRan.

“Stop!”

Zhuang Huanling let out a cold snort, squinting her eyes at AnRan, sizing him up.

If it wasn’t for their previous encounter, she wouldn’t believe AnRan’s words. A mere rookie in the initial stage of Transcendence, what sort of skill could he possibly have?

But Zhuang Huanling knew that AnRan had been under the wing of an extremely shameless man.

This man had many bizarre techniques, and it’s likely AnRan had learnt some from him, which could come in handy now.

“What’s your plan, let’s hear it.” Zhuang Huanling calmly said.

“Then give me a kiss, Fatty here will tell you, and only you.” AnRan shamelessly replied.

Jiang Xiaobai, who had been hiding underground enjoying the show, almost choked on his own saliva.

What a shameless fatty!

Don’t you fear that face of yours getting bashed?

Indeed, hearing these words, Zhuang Huanling clenched her fists, wishing she could tear this fat man apart on the spot.

“I’ll give you one last chance, if you won’t tell us, you’re dead. Don’t even dream about escaping. I can kill you right now.” Zhuang Huanling gritted her teeth.

“Fine, but I have my conditions.”

AnRan posed importantly: “One thousand high-grade spirit stones per person, and I guarantee your safe escape.”

With those words spoken, everyone fumed.

“Damn you, at a time like this, you’re still thinking about money?”

“You deserve to die, you dog, taking advantage of us?”

“I don’t even want you leading me out, if it weren’t for the fear of alarming the mad dogs outside, I’d kill you on the spot.”

Everyone was cursing at him under their breaths, the scene was quite spectacular.

But that was just a minor issue. In the eyes of our friend AnRan, it was a mere trifle.

He was thick-skinned anyway, completely unfazed.

“Alright fatty, don’t squirm anymore, it’s not worth having someone kill you.” Jiang Xiaobai said exasperatedly.

AnRan finally calmed down, quietly waiting for the effects of the drug to kick in.

After a round of cursing AnRan, everyone, led by Zhuang Huanling, arrived at the mouth of the cave, carefully scanning the surroundings with their divine senses.

To their surprise, although there were some mad dogs guarding the entrance, their synesthesia told them they seemed to be inside a mountain cave.

And as their divine senses explored further out, they grew more and more horrified.

They could sense at least a thousand mad dogs just a slight distance outside the cave, and even more terrifying was that they could not detect where the boundary was.

In an instant, everyone went pale.

How could they escape?

Many people were completely disheartened. With the situation outside, they had no chance of escaping. Even if there were only two hundred of those mad dogs, it was beyond their capability to handle.

Zhuang Huanling turned deathly pale too, clenching her fists and biting her teeth.

Was she really going to die here?

Just then, someone noticed something odd.

“Damn it, why is my spiritual power getting more and more turbid, I can’t use it anymore?”

“Hiss, I think I have the same situation!”

Many people exclaimed in surprise. The others checked their own condition, and it turned out that their spiritual power was virtually sealed. Attempts to mobilize it were futile.

Zhuang Huanling was no exception. The moment she felt the abnormality in her body, she glared fiercely at AnRan.

This inconspicuous technique, she’d only ever experienced it from one person.

“Was it you?” Zhuang Huanling glared at AnRan through gritted teeth.

“Hehe, you’re really smart.”

AnRan chuckled: “Okay, this was just to ensure everyone’s safety.”

“It’s only this way that we can escape together,”

“So can we talk about my rescue fee now?”

As AnRan spoke, he started rubbing his hands together excitedly.
