105: Chapter 105 What happened last night... Don't tell anyone!

Deep within the Ancestral Dragon Abyss, atop the Dragon Bone Stone Platform.

The air was still thick with that kind of ambiguous, blush-inducing atmosphere.

"You... turn around!"

A delicate cry, tinged with shame, indignation, and fluster, rang out.

Long Aoxue had her back to Xu Chen, her hands clutching tightly at the oversized robe belonging to him that she wore, trying to cover her graceful figure that had already been thoroughly exposed.

Her original silver scale armor skirt, renowned for its astonishing defensive capabilities, had long been torn to shreds by herself during the previous "wild" treatment process. It now lay scattered on the stone platform like a pile of scrap metal.

"What's the point of turning around?"

Xu Chen leaned against a massive dragon bone nearby, casually playing with a silver scale he had picked up from the ground. His gaze wandered brazenly over her smooth, jade-like back.

"Just now, I saw what I should have seen, and what I shouldn't have seen. I even conducted an in-depth study of certain places only your future husband should explore."

"Isn't it a bit late to be shy now?"

"You! Shameless!"

Long Aoxue suddenly turned her head. Her originally cold and stunningly beautiful face was now as red as a ripe apple. She glared fiercely at Xu Chen, but that gaze no longer held the previous murderous intent. Instead, it carried a trace of something she herself hadn't noticed... a coquettish pout.

"That just now... was an accident!"

She bit her red lips, forcefully making an excuse for herself.

"The Ancestral Dragon Qi here was too violent! This Princess momentarily lost her senses, allowing you to take advantage!"

"Right, right, an accident."

Xu Chen didn't expose her. Instead, he walked forward and took out a brand-new set of courtly women's attire from his storage ring. It was a spare outfit Su Qingge had prepared for herself. Although it might be a bit tight in size, it was better than being naked.

"Put these on first, Your Highness the Princess."

Xu Chen draped the clothes over her, casually smoothing her disheveled silver hair in the process.

"Although I quite like how you look right now, if that black dragon sees you like this later, I might get jealous."

Hearing the words "get jealous," Long Aoxue's heart skipped a beat.

She raised her head, looking at Xu Chen who was so close.

This man, though sharp-tongued, overbearing in his actions, and even a bit of a scoundrel...

...in that situation earlier, he had truly used his own body to save her. Moreover, he hadn't taken advantage of her vulnerability to use her as a cultivation furnace. Instead, he had expended his own origin power to help her regulate her bloodline.

Now, not only were her injuries completely healed, but the True Dragon bloodline within her was purer than ever before.

A strange, never-before-felt emotion quietly took root at this moment.

[Ding! Favorability of conquest target "Long Aoxue" has experienced drastic fluctuations!]

[Current Favorability: 85 (Infatuated, Dependent, Tsundere).]

[Evaluation: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully conquered this tsundere dragon girl, body and heart. Right now, her mouth says no, but her body very much wants to go home with you.]

Listening to the system's prompt, the smile on Xu Chen's lips deepened.

"All dressed?"

"Mhm."

Long Aoxue lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum. She tugged somewhat awkwardly at the slightly tight court attire. Although the fabric was top-tier ice silk, worn on her, it was still stretched taut by her proud curves, appearing exceptionally alluring.

"Xu Chen."

She suddenly looked up, her gaze becoming somewhat evasive, yet still carrying a trace of royal stubbornness.

"What happened just now... you must not speak of it!"

"Especially don't tell that human sword cultivator!"

"This Princess is the Dragon Clan's Princess! If people found out that I... I begged you like that... how could I ever show my face in the Demon Realm again?"

"Oh?"

Xu Chen raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise.

"Begged me like how?"

"Shut up!!!"

Long Aoxue was so embarrassed she nearly wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. She directly reached out and covered Xu Chen's mouth.

"In short, you just can't say it! Take it to your grave!"

"That might be a bit difficult."

Xu Chen removed her hand, Go with the flow holding it in his palm, gently stroking it.

"I have a flaw—once I drink, I tend to tell the truth. What if one day I get drunk and accidentally let slip about Your Highness the Princess's 'heroic deeds'..."

"You wouldn't dare!"

Long Aoxue grew anxious, her pair of silver dragon horns beginning to glow faintly.

"If you dare talk nonsense, this Princess will... will..."

"Will what?"

Xu Chen took a step forward, backing her against the stone wall. He placed his hands on either side of her, executing a domineering kabedon.

"Bite me to death?"

Looking into those deep, abyss-like eyes before her, Long Aoxue's momentum instantly weakened. She turned her head away, not daring to meet Xu Chen's gaze, her voice carrying a hint of grievance and helplessness.

"You only know how to bully me."

"Who told you to be so easy to bully."

Xu Chen chuckled softly, no longer teasing her. He gently planted a kiss on her forehead, his tone becoming gentle yet domineering.

"Don't worry."

"How could I be willing to share such benefits that only I can enjoy with others?"

"You are my woman. Your disheveled state, your madness, your beauty—they all belong to me alone."

"If anyone dares to take an extra look, I'll gouge their eyes out."

These words sounded somewhat bandit-like, but they struck like a heavy hammer right at the softest spot in Long Aoxue's heart.

I am... his woman?

Long Aoxue stared blankly at Xu Chen. Her originally Panic heart miraculously settled down at this moment.

"Hmph."

After a long while, she let out a light hum, but the corner of her mouth uncontrollably lifted into a tiny curve.

"Who's your woman? Wishful thinking."

"This Princess merely... merely temporarily used you as an antidote, that's all."

Having said that, she pushed Xu Chen away and fled as if escaping, heading deeper into the dragon bones, her retreating figure somewhat Panic.

"Aren't you coming? That ancestral dragon divine grass is right ahead."

"Saying one thing but meaning another."

Xu Chen watched her retreating back, shook his head with a smile, and strode forward to follow.

...

Passing through the massive dragon bone area, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

At the very end of the abyss, there was a pool about three zhang in diameter. The pool water Presentation a magnificent purple-gold color, emitting an overwhelmingly rich life essence.

And in the center of the pool, a divine grass, its entire body like jade, its leaves shaped like miniature True Dragons, swayed gently.

ancestral dragon divine grass.

Just standing beside it and taking a single whiff, Xu Chen felt all the pores on his body open up. The qi and blood within him surged like a great river.

"So this is the legendary holy object for stabilizing pregnancy?"

Xu Chen's eyes gleamed as he rubbed his hands together.

"With this thing, even if the children in Qingge and the others' bellies have innate divine demon constitutions, their foundations can be made incredibly solid!"

"This divine grass has grown for three hundred thousand years. Its medicinal power is enough to allow a Sage to undergo a complete rebirth."

Long Aoxue stood to the side, looking at this treasure that originally belonged to the Dragon Clan. A flicker of reluctance passed through her eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination.

Since she had already become his woman... then consider this a dowry.

"Take it."

She waved her hand, pretending to be magnanimous.

"It's not like I have any use for it anyway."

Xu Chen didn't stand on ceremony either. He took out a jade box crafted from ten-thousand-year mystic ice and carefully dug up the entire divine grass, roots and all, sealing it properly.

"Done!"

Xu Chen patted the jade box, in excellent spirits.

The main goal of this trip to the Demon Realm had been accomplished. Next up was dealing with that bunch of clueless troublemakers outside.

...

As the two walked out of the passage, Nangong Waner was holding her sword, pacing back and forth guarding the cave entrance.

Seeing them emerge, especially seeing Long Aoxue who had changed clothes, whose face was unusually flushed, and whose eyes kept stealing glances at Xu Chen, Nangong Waner's gaze instantly turned somewhat melancholy.

Although she had guessed it long ago, seeing it with her own eyes still made her heart feel a bit sour.

"Husband, your 'antidote administration' session... was quite lengthy, wasn't it?"

Nangong Waner walked up, saying with a A half-smile expression.

"Ahem, the condition was complex, the treatment Difficult."

Xu Chen cleared his throat twice, explaining with a straight face.

"But fortunately, the medicine cured the illness."

Hearing this, Long Aoxue's face reddened again. She could only pretend to look at the scenery, not daring to respond.

Right at that moment.

Boom! Rumble!

A violent tremor suddenly came from above. The entire Ancestral Dragon Abyss shook, countless gravel falling.

"Long Aoxue! The half-hour is up!"

"Since you refuse to come out, don't blame your uncle for being ruthless!"

Ao Hei's cold, murderous voice clearly penetrated through the layers of formations.

Immediately after, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky. Clearly, the "Myriad Dragon Sky Locking Formation" outside had been fully activated, preparing to launch a devastating blow on the Ancestral Dragon Abyss.

"Not good! Ao Hei is making his move!"

Long Aoxue's expression changed, instantly entering combat mode. The majesty befitting the Princess returned to her once more.

"Don't panic."

Xu Chen, however, looked completely calm. He reached out, wrapping an arm around the slender waists of the two women, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Let him make his move."

"I want to see just how big a wave this black eel can stir up."

"Let's go."

"Time to go out and teach him how to behave."
