Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Golden Ray Dragon King saw that Qin Wushuang acted this way, he was slightly angered inwardly. Being the honorable leader of the totem clan, at the Tian Xuan Land, even for those few controllers, they would never be this disrespectful.
Golden lights gradually surged on his face and surrounding his body, golden lights kept gathering. Now, Golden Ray Dragon King was full of jeweled lights that made the others afraid to look at him in the eye.
“Your majesty, this kid is too arrogant,” an elite warrior of the dragon clan said indignantly.
“Yes, your majesty, as long as you send the word, we will immediately go in and take that kid out! Whether to kill or to cut off his flesh, we shall listen to you.”
Golden Ray Dragon King gave a slight snort and suddenly, he laughed. “Good kid, you are neither servile nor overbearing, I rather underestimated you. Send my order, surround the Hibiscus Forest.”
“Yes!”
Immediately, elite warriors of the eighteen dragon clans scattered in groups.
Shang Ye and Su Mi exchanged a glance for they were somewhat anxious. However, although their Coiled Dragon Clan was powerful, under such circ.u.mstances, they did not hold much right of free speech.
Before the imperial order of the totem clan, where would they gain their right of speech?
“Brother Shang Ye, what should we do?”
“Su’Er, Brother Wushuang must have his reasons for acting this way. Although we cannot defy the imperial decree of the Forefather Dragon Clan, we can exert our manpower and not our efforts. If Wushuang is to appear at our opening, we can give him some s.p.a.ce to escape. The Dragon King shows no vile intentions to Wushuang. Even if we let him go, he will not look into it. I just don’t know why he is so against destroying the Hibiscus Forest…”
“Ah, could there be some secret inside this Hibiscus Forest?”
…
Mi Jia was also a cat on a hot tin roof as she had fought alongside Qin Wushuang all along this way. Although she went against Qin Wushuang’s way in every aspect, deep in her heart, she held high recognition for him. For such an exceptional young man, of course Mi Jia did not wish to watch him fall.
“This kid is really egotistical to not know the immensity of the heavens and earth.” Mi Luo, Mi Jia’s father gave a long sigh.
Mi Jia mumbled, “Father, this Qin Wushuang has saved me a few times. You must not really stop him.”
At first, Mi Luo was stunned. Then, he smiled vaguely. “Our little sorceress, could it be you have your eyes set on that arrogant human kid?”
“There is no such thing. For my entire lifetime, I don’t have any sense to those things between woman and man. Humph, that Qin Wushuang, he just looks more pleasing than other people. Besides, he saved my life, I am not a person to bite the hand that feeds me.”
“Anyways, the Dragon King must have his own profound meaning to deal with Qin Wushuang himself. I can see that he does not wish to deal with him. By that time, if he were to break out from our direction, I will open the net on one side. However, for other directions, there is nothing I can do.”
A strange expressions flashed across Mi Jia’s face, intense pa.s.sion.
As a father knew his daughter best, Mi Luo immediately warned her when he saw this situation, “Girl, don’t blame me for not warning you. You better hold still if you have any other thoughts. The eighteen dragon clans are unconvinced of one another. If you are to interfere the defense line of the other dragon clans, it would not be easy for me to exculpate for you.”
Mi Jia gave a snort and did not speak. She simply mumbled something under her breath.
With a scuttle, she had already flashed before Yi Qian and cried out straightforwardly, “Yi Qian!”
When Yi Qian saw that Mi Jia’s graceful figure had scuttled before him, he was filled with joy and almost doubted himself for seeing the wrong thing. He immediately went over to welcome her.
“Miss Mi Jia, is there anything I can do for you?” Yi Qian asked with an apologetic smile.
Mi Jia led Yi Qian to walk outside from the others. She bit her s.e.xy lips lightly and suddenly asked with astonis.h.i.+ng words, “You always wanted to chase after me, right?”
Slightly stunned, Yi Qian was somewhat ashamed as he smiled with embarra.s.sment, yet he did not lose his graceful manner. “Indeed, Miss Mi Jia’s elegance enchants my heart.”
“Is it or is it not? Don’t beat the bush,” Mi Jia said unhappily.
“Eh… Yes.” Yi Qian bit his teeth and admitted straightforwardly.
“Yes, you are rather honest. For that guy, didn’t you always want to know who he is? Now you know!” Mi Jia looked at the direction of the Hibiscus Forest.
Yi Qian gave a long sigh. “It’s also me being slow-witted, I should have thought about it sooner. If it wasn’t Qin Wushuang, which young man in the world could be this arrogant?”
“Then what do you plan to do? In the end, that Qin Wushuang did you a favor for helping you out in your difficult situation, right?”
Yi Qian was rather honest as he nodded. “Yes, initially if he did not help me out of that embarra.s.sment, most likely I would have suffered some further humiliation from He Ziniu.”
“Then do you plan to sell your friend for glory or to have a knife pierce both sides?” Mi Jia asked a trail of questions in succession.
Yi Qian straightened his chest. “Of course I would not sell out my friend. Miss Mi Jia, I understand what you mean. Please rest a.s.sured, I will immediately beg my father. I will not dare to speak of this to the others, my Bell Dragon Clan will definitely not make things difficult for Qin Wushuang!”
“That’s it? Mi Jia appeared somewhat dissatisfied. “If you only have this little courage, what do you have to chase after me?”
Yi Qian bit his lips. “Among the Non-Traditional Dragon Clans, the Beast Dragon Clan is the closest with my Bell Dragon Clan, so I can also try to persuade them. Also, the Beast Dragon Clan is never in a good relations.h.i.+p with the Musical Dragon Clan. If they knew that He Ziniu died in Qin Wushuang’s hands, they would surely not get involved.”
“Good, this is the responsibility a.s.sumed by a true man.” Mi Jia let out a sweet smile. She looked at Yi Qian while crafty radiance shone from her eyes. “Um, I must say that I have a much better impression of you now.”
Yi Qian rubbed his hands with excitement. “Miss Mi Jia, this is needless to say. After all, Qin Wushuang shares a friendly relations.h.i.+p with me, it’s the right thing to exert my efforts for a friend.”
Mi Jia speculated that since the Coiled Dragon Clan was life and death friends with Qin Wushuang, certainly they would not make things difficult for him. Plus, with help from the Horned Dragon Clan she belonged to, the Bell Dragon Clan with Yi Qian, and the Beast Dragon Clan that Yi Qian could persuade, there were only these four clan allies among the eighteen dragon clans.
Compared to the major forces of the eighteen dragon clans, they still appeared somewhat frail. She calculated inwardly of how to find a few more clans.
As long as half of the eighteen dragon clans would only contribute manpower and not actually stop him, with Qin Wushuang’s speed and imposing manner, certainly he would not have a problem to escape as long as they left a small opening for him.
As Mi Jia thought of it this way, she raised her head and saw that indeed, that Shang Ye and Su Mi were lobbying.
Although the Coiled Dragon Clan and the Horned Dragon Clan were never friendly, this time they were working hard for one person out of the blue. They were on the same side on such a rare occasion.
“The Coiled Dragon Clan is good friends with the Alligator Dragon Clan. If the Coiled Dragon Clan steps out, surely the Alligator Dragon Clan will help them out. And our Horned Dragon Clan shares deep relations with the Homarus Dragon Clan, perhaps I can lobby them to some extent. In this case, there would be six clans.”
Mi Jia counted with her fingers and was just about to walk towards the Giant Clam Dragon Clan. A young man from the Mountain Demon Dragon Clan welcomed her with a br.i.m.m.i.n.g smile.
“Miss Mi Jia, long time no see. I didn’t realize that you are already one step ahead of the opponent and have broken into the Supreme Dao Stage. That’s truly worth celebrating.”
This person was the number one of the Mountain Demon Dragon Clan in the young generation, Jiang Kui. Initially at the Illusion Heavenly Lake ordeal, it was a pity that he lost to Qin Wushuang and took second place.
Because of this fact, this Jiang Kui was full of grudges with Qin Wushuang. Now after getting back to the Eastern Sea, he also took the lead and broke the barrier of the Supreme Dao. He had successfully entered the Supreme Dao Stage.
He thought he could suppress Qin Wushuang, but unexpectedly, the current Qin Wushuang was even more monstrous. In less than two years, he was powerful enough to kill Coagulate Supreme Dao elite warriors at will.
This further increased the imbalanced feeling inside Jiang Kui’s heart.
When he saw Mi Jia lobbying, upon relating to some rumors, Jiang Kui guessed that she was lobbying for Qin Wushuang. As he walked up with a faint smile, clearly he was to obstruct her lobbying plan.
“Jiang Kui, I am not interested in you, don’t play this game.” If it was in the past, certainly she would answer back sarcastically when Mi Jia saw Jiang Kui’s shameful appearance. However now, she held it back.
“Miss Mi Jia, after all we’ve only met a few times. When you say such words, are you not making me bitterly disappointed?” Jiang Kui appeared to be extremely narcissistic. He felt that since he had broken into the Supreme Dao Stage, he was not much different than Mi Jia and greatly qualified to sit as equal with her.
“If you hadn’t lost all face for the Endless Eastern Sea at the Illusion Heavenly Lake, and brought back an ordeal champions.h.i.+p for the Endless Eastern Sea, perhaps I would be familiar with you. A failure under someone from the Xuan Yuan Mound, I am not in the mood to speak nonsense with you, get lost.” Mi Jia certainly did not put her reputation as a sorceress in vain. Since they were in odd terms, she became angry.
The battle at the Illusion Heavenly Lake was the battle Jiang Kui viewed as a disgrace. Although it was ill.u.s.trious that he achieved second place, to someone that thinks highly of himself, losing the champions.h.i.+p was definitely a disgrace.
Upon hearing Mi Jia lifting his scar, he was feeling a burst of frustration. Letting out a cold snort, his complexion immediately changed. “Miss Mi Jia, it sounds like you are not siding with your own people.”
“I can do whatever I want, what about it? If you had won the champions.h.i.+p, I would even side with you. Who told you to be so useless? If I were to go, wouldn’t it be as easy as stretching a hand to grab that champions.h.i.+p?”
“Big talk. If you truly have such skill, today there is just this opportunity for you to make this magical contribution. You can capture that son of the Qin Clan alive. With all these people watching, it will also convince me whole-heartedly.”
Jiang Kui’s words were also very harmful. When using the provocative method to this extent, he felt that with Mi Jia’s personality, she would surely fly into a rage.
Unexpectedly, Mi Jia let out a scornful smile. “Young Jiang, do you think I need to prove anything to you? Do you deserve it? Are you qualified?”
“Humph, I am just afraid that someone is emerging feelings of love and has their eyes set on that human kid.” Jiang Kui mocked her without restraint.
Mi Jia laughed instead of being angry. “What about it if that’s the case? Regardless, he is the ordeal champion. He’s far better than you and pleasing to look at, a failure right?”
Black lines on Jiang Kui’s forehead gradually congealed together as he smiled evilly. “Humph humph, before today’s inescapable net, let’s see how that kid will escape. Miss Mi Jia, you better not fall into the ending of a total dead loss!”
Mi Jia gave a cold snort. “That’s none of your concern, just mind your own business.”
After she finished speaking, she also stopped lobbying that Giant Clam Dragon Clan. She knew that with the relations.h.i.+p between the Mountain Demon Dragon and the Giant Clam Dragon Clan, she would be humiliating herself by lobbying them.
