Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Jiang Xiaobai swatted away Gu Ning’s arm with an annoyed look and a trace of disgust on his face.

“Hey, I am your master, and I don’t look bad, do I?”

“I’m still better-looking than your precious little wife. Can’t even take a joke, can you?”

Gu Ning huffed his displeasure.

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly had a splitting headache. “Master, why didn’t I realize earlier that you are such a joker?”

“Being a joker is great! No pressure at all.”

Gu Ning threw Jiang Xiaobai a flirtatious glance, then straightforwardly hooked his arm around Jiang Xiaobai’s neck and began to walk forward.

The pathway that led to the left still looked never-ending even at first glance.

It was acceptable to experience this once or twice, but if it kept going like this, anyone would go mad!

This maze is not suitable for humans!

The three of them advanced prudently, not encountering any traps along the way. Even after walking for a full day, they had only reached three junctions.

The maze was well-lit, which easily distorted their sense of time after a while.

This, too, was a great test of one’s mental state.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaobai had a system to keep count of time, otherwise, it would have been troublesome once too much time passed.

Finally, the trio stopped in front of an eight-pronged junction!

Yes, eight different paths to choose from!

The path they chose at this point became extremely crucial. A small error could lead to a disaster.

“Let’s wait.”

“Let’s have some drinks and food, let loose, and not put too much pressure on ourselves.”

Gu Ning said lightly, then sat down on the ground casually, Jiang Xiaobai followed suit, showing that he had indeed inherited some traits from his master.

They took out barbecue tools and a spread of fine wine and grilled meat for an impromptu picnic.

If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the three of them had come here to vacation.

Not long after, they all suddenly turned vigilant as they heard a noise coming from one of the paths!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound was very heavy. As the sound came closer, the ground even began to tremble.

Jiang Xiaobai tried to probe the situation with his spiritual senses, but he found that the wall seemed to absorb his spiritual senses, making them entirely ineffective.

The three of them instantly stood up and stared fiercely at the pathways.

Finally, a massive figure appeared before them.

A puppet!

A giant puppet standing as tall as a three-story building, holding an astonishingly large mace in its hand.

The puppet emitted an aura of the Late Stage of Fusion, but it didn’t seem to be that powerful.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai could understand that when they said the difficulty would be reduced to the Fusion stage after his entry, they must have been referring to these things.

But before he could react, Gu Ning pulled him and started to run.

“Hold on, why are we running?”

“You can’t beat it!”

Gu Ning shouted, “Even if you can kill one, the noise will attract the other puppets, and then you’ll be done for!”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t believe him and, turning around, struck a seven-tenths strength sword attack at the puppet.

Clang!

The dull sound of metal resounded, and his sword attack had only left a small wound on the puppet’s thigh.

Jiang Xiaobai’s heart started pounding!

He was holding an acquired Sky Spirit treasure, Yuan Hong. Although it had only unlocked three layers of its worldly seal, its power was no joke!

And yet, he had merely wounded the puppet?

Was the puppet really at the Late Stage of Fusion?

“Damn, why is it so strong?” Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

“This place is full of anomalies and is far more dangerous than you can imagine. Let’s get going, it’s not fast. We can make our escape quickly.”

Gu Ning urged anxiously.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, leaving a mark on the wall before running away at full speed with Gu Ning.

Fortunately, there was plenty of rich spiritual energy here, otherwise, there would be no way out.

“Master, apart from such puppets, is there anything else?”

“Yes, many, many more than you could ever imagine.”

Gu Ning smiled mysteriously: “This is just the beginning, you will see in due course.”

“What exactly are those puppets made of, they’re so darn hard?”

“Specially refined materials, their prices are dreadfully high, I have no idea how the creator of these trials had the gumption to do it.”

Said Gu Ning with a hint of resentment.

It was clear he thought such an ostentatious display of wealth was truly excessive.

Gulp!

For some reason, Jiang Xiaobai swallowed hard: “Master, can you give me a hint about how valuable they might be?”

“Well, I can tell you this, one puppet is worth a hundred thousand pieces of high-quality Immortal Crystals.”

Said White Crane casually.

Upon hearing this value, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes lit up.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai knew how valuable a single piece of high-quality Immortal Crystal was!

He had defied a Heavenly Punishment once just to acquire a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals, which proved how precious they were.

And one puppet was worth a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals!

“Damn, I can’t just let this opportunity go. I’m going to give it a go. I can’t say no to money. Plus, I also want to understand the level of my strength.”

“How about this, Master, please look after me, I’ll give it a try!”

Said Jiang Xiaobai excitedly.

The money was not the only thing he cared about, was it?

He cared about his own strength!

It had absolutely nothing to do with money!

Gu Ning thought for a moment, and nodded: “It would be good for you to try, there will be many dangers ahead, not as easy as this, it would be great if I could see your strength.”

“Master, can you kill that thing?” Jiang Xiaobai suddenly asked curiously.

Gu Ning just smiled enigmatically and didn’t reply.

What could Jiang Xiaobai say to that except speechless?

Then, he rushed forward again with the sword in his hand and quickly saw the puppet that was slowly walking towards him.

Jiang Xiaobai sneered, holding his sword, he looked ferocious.

“I’ll use you to see how much my strength has increased recently!”

With a loud shout, Jiang Xiaobai moved forward without hesitation, wielding his sword.

The puppet was huge and slow-moving, but if you got hit by it, you’d definitely get seriously injured!

The puppet recognized him as the one who had hurt it earlier, made a humming noise, swung its spiked club towards Jiang Xiaobai’s head.

But to Jiang Xiaobai, its movements were too slow, he easily dodged the attack and immediately appeared behind the puppet.

He raised his hand and gave one sword strike.

This time, full-force attack!

However, he didn’t use any other means, but with this strike, he easily severed the puppet’s knee joint!

There was a big difference between using seventy percent of his power and a full-force attack.

With one leg lost, the puppet was unstable and fell on the ground with a loud thud. Then Jiang Xiaobai jumped on its back and thrust his sword downwards!

Thump!

The sword easily pierced through its outer armor and the puppet immediately became motionless.

With this strike, he directly shattered its operational core!

“Is it that simple?”

Said Jiang Xiaobai, puzzled.

He came down to look at the puppet, after confirming that it was indeed dead, he couldn’t help but sneer.

“Master, I thought it was going to be more powerful, it’s just this capable.”

“It’s indeed simple to kill it, however, you didn’t know that once you’ve killed one, the surrounding puppets will sense it and come to attack you.”

Gu Ning chuckled softly, “All right, it’s clear that your strength is quite formidable, much stronger than those geniuses in my faction.”

“Let’s pack up and get going, don’t waste time.”

“There are still many challenges waiting for you to deal with, White Crane and I will try not to fight unless necessary.”
