94: Young lady, you don't want anything to happen to your brother, do you?
"Brother Xu, rest assured! As long as you let me and my sister go, all these things will belong to you! Furthermore, I guarantee that from now on, the entire True Dragon Clan will detour whenever they see you, and we will absolutely never offend you in the slightest again!"
Ao Lietian patted his chest in assurance, his tone urgent.
"This is all my worldly wealth; I truly have nothing left!"
Truth be told, the treasures Ao Lietian brought out were worth as much as the entire treasury of a bottom-tier Holy Land, enough to nurture a Great Saint Realm Expert, making them extremely generous.
Yet Xu Jinhuan didn't even lift an eyelid; he didn't even glance at those treasures, instead staring at the Ao Linger before him with keen interest.
What were mere treasures? He was the number zero sequence of the Taiyi Holy Land; he could take resources from the entire Holy Land as he pleased, so these trifles couldn't catch his eye at all.
What he truly cared about was the stunningly beautiful Dragon Clan maiden before him.
【Ding! Detected a beauty meeting the criteria. Please interact with her, Host, and then Sign-in!】
Not bad, this suddenly appearing little Dragon Clan princess was actually a Sign-in target approved by the System!
Ao Linger was incredibly intelligent. Seeing Xu Jinhuan's gaze fall upon her, she immediately understood his intentions and quickly struck while the iron was hot, kowtowing again with a respectful and docile voice:
"Linger is willing to be the Young Master's mount, a maid by your side, at your beck and call!"
"No!"
Before Xu Jinhuan could speak, Ao Lietian on the side suddenly roared sharply, interrupting his sister, his dragon eyes full of pain and struggle.
"Linger, you don't have to do this! At worst, your brother will fight him to the death!"
"Even if your brother dies, I will not let such a philandering, debauched piece of scum tarnish your innocence..."
It was evident that Xu Jinhuan's reputation outside had already reached a certain Realm of notoriety...
Before Ao Lietian could finish speaking, the Eternal Chaos aura on Xu Jinhuan erupted once more.
"Ignorant!"
He instantly bypassed Ao Linger and pressed one hand onto Ao Lietian's brow, holding a wisp of Eternal Law capable of causing his Divine Soul to dissipate completely.
With just a slight exertion of force, Ao Lietian would undoubtedly die!
Suppressed by this terrifying power, Ao Lietian's massive dragon body was instantly unable to move, and even breathing became difficult. He could only watch helplessly as that wisp of destructive light swirled before his eyes, the shadow of death instantly enveloping his entire body.
At this moment, he became completely docile, recalling the fear of being dominated by Xu Jinhuan just now, and realized that he had no qualifications to raise any objections.
"Hehe, young lady, you wouldn't want this stupid dragon to suffer Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, would you?"
Xu Jinhuan, suppressing the giant dragon before him, spoke with a smile to the still-dazed Ao Linger.
"Young Master, please don't hurt him; Linger will do as you say."
Without a moment's hesitation, Ao Linger took a deep breath, her eyes resolute.
She knew that the man before her could truly do it.
She raised her hand and bit her fingertip, forcing out a drop of brilliant golden essence blood, then stirred her Divine Soul. A wisp of translucent Divine Soul power flowed from between her brows, intertwining with the essence blood to form a golden-shimmering Divine Soul mark.
Holding the Divine Soul mark in her palm, she respectfully handed it to Xu Jinhuan, her voice trembling slightly:
"This is a wisp of Linger's life-bound divine soul; please take control of it, Young Master!"
The life-bound divine soul was the core of a Yao Race Cultivator's divine soul; once handed over to someone else to control, it was equivalent to completely entrusting one's life and death to them.
The other party only needed a single thought to make her Divine Soul shatter, leaving her beyond redemption.
"From now on, Linger's life is entrusted to the Young Master. If I harbor any disloyal thoughts, may my Divine Soul be destroyed, and may I never be reincarnated!"
"That's more like it!"
Xu Jinhuan nodded in satisfaction and beckoned with his hand, causing the divine soul to fall into his grasp.
Human Race women could be kept by his side with more leniency, but the other party was of the Dragon Clan.
Those who are not of my race must have different intentions.
Even though Ao Linger didn't look like a woman with deep schemes, some things had to be guarded against.
As Xu Jinhuan gently refined it, that wisp of Divine Soul established a subtle connection with his divine soul.
At the same time, Ao Linger felt a strange, tingling sensation from deep within her Divine Soul, as if an electric current was coursing through her limbs and bones, causing her whole body to flush with a faint pink hue, and her originally fair, pretty face to add a touch of alluring rosiness.
Her pair of amber vertical pupils, exclusive to the Dragon Clan, gradually became unfocused, as if she were experiencing some kind of extreme comfort.
She even couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
"Mmhmm!"
The moment she made the sound, Ao Linger snapped back to reality. Realizing her loss of composure, the flush on her face spread and deepened at a visible rate, even her earlobes turning a deep, purplish red.
Her little head buried itself even lower, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing his sister's strange reaction, Ao Lietian on the side became even more agitated, his eyes splitting in anger, nearly going mad!
The dragon scales on his body stood on end like a bristling tiger, his massive dragon body trembling violently, the rage in his eyes almost setting the Void Realm ablaze, staring fixedly at Xu Jinhuan with monstrous killing intent.
This is my good sister, yet she is being treated so despicably by this piece of scum!
Beast!
But seeing that familiar divine soul in the other party's hand, Ao Lietian didn't dare to make a move at all.
Linger's life was still in this bastard's hands; if he really started a fight, the only one who would suffer would be Linger.
The responsibility of an older brother trapped this enraged True Dragon in place, and he could only let out low, unwilling, and impotent roars.
Linger, I'm sorry; I really am an incompetent brother...
"Not bad, you have good awareness. You can get lost now. Next time you go out, remember to check the almanac and don't run into me again."
Xu Jinhuan glanced at the aggrieved Ao Lietian and, satisfied, stretched out a foot to kick him away.
Watching her brother receive such treatment, Ao Linger's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but cry out in alarm:
"No... don't! Don't hurt my brother, Linger is willing to do anything!"
Xu Jinhuan rolled his eyes at her.
"Rest assured, your brother is fine and won't die; the vitality of a loach far exceeds your imagination."
Although the True Dragon Clan didn't possess an innate Nirvana Divine Ability like the Phoenix, they were still a top-tier Divine Beast with an incomparably formidable Physical Body.
Furthermore, Ao Lietian had comprehended the Nine-Layer Nirvana Law, so his vitality was astonishingly tenacious; even if he were chopped into pieces, he could instantly reorganize and recover.
Within this Secret Realm, aside from his Eternal Law, almost no one could truly threaten Ao Lietian's life.
"Really?"
Ao Linger was half-doubting, her gaze still looking worriedly toward the core of the Ancient Battlefield, the direction in which Ao Lietian had been knocked flying.
"Believe it or not."
Xu Jinhuan didn't pay attention to Ao Linger's anxiety and directly issued an order; he had wanted to be a Dragon Knight for a long time!
Ahem, of course, not the kind Yang Guo was.
"Linger, reveal your true form."
This sudden command caught Ao Linger off guard and unprepared; her pretty face, which had just started to get a little better, flushed completely red again in a flash, and even her breathing became rapid.
She hadn't expected that the 'human-dragon intimacy' she had mentioned offhandedly would arrive so quickly, and even less that it would take place in such an open environment.
This Young Master Xu really is a pervert!
It's such a waste of that peerlessly handsome face...
"Ah? In broad daylight, in public, on this vast yellow sand... should we do it?"
"Is this a bit... indecorous..."
As she spoke, Ao Linger's pretty face was already completely red, even emitting wisps of white smoke; if a kettle were placed on it, it would probably boil water instantly.
Xu Jinhuan, seeing her shy and embarrassed appearance, was stunned for a moment before realizing that this little Dragon Lady had misunderstood!
Immediately, he felt a burst of annoyance and directly gave Ao Linger a flick on the forehead.
Thump!
Ao Linger clutched her forehead and looked up in confusion.
"What are you thinking about? I meant for you to reveal your true form to carry us and follow along!"
Xu Jinhuan said crossly.
Hearing the explanation, Ao Linger instantly realized that she had been overthinking and misunderstood; Xu Jinhuan hadn't thought about that kind of man-woman, sexual matter at all.
The lecher was actually myself!
"No... sorry, I... I will reveal my true form now and carry the Young Master to soar through the Nine Heavens!"
With a flash of green light, Ao Linger quickly transformed, her petite body rapidly changing into a hundred-zhang giant dragon.
At this moment, she actually felt a sense of relief from having survived a disaster, and an impatient feeling.
The True Dragon Clan was extremely averse to being ridden on the head.
But compared to 'human-dragon intimacy' in public, carrying someone while flying didn't seem like much.
The giant dragon was in the sky, her body pure white and dotted with golden scales, exuding a sacred and noble aura. Her dragon eyes were lively, carrying a hint of shyness and embarrassment, and she lay docilely before Xu Jinhuan, not daring to meet his gaze.
In front of this extremely good-looking yet hateful young man, Ao Linger always felt she had no secrets, as if she were streaking in front of him...
The key was that when this thought arose, she was actually somewhat excited...
Wuwuwu...
I am no longer clean...
"It's actually a rare White Dragon? Interesting."
"What did you say, Young Master?"
"Nothing, keep your head low; you are not allowed to lift it without my permission."
"Oh..."
Xu Jinhuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her current thoughts and emotions; he walked straight up and landed steadily on the White Dragon's head.
Sensing the added weight on her head, Ao Linger not only didn't feel the humiliation of being ordered around, but instead inexplicably felt a strange palpitation deep in her heart.
She was even surprised herself; it seemed her body was faintly excited to become Xu Jinhuan's mount?
And, as a dragon, carrying only the Young Master alone, does this count as being alone together, a pair living in seclusion?
As soon as this thought popped up, Ao Linger snapped back to reality, quickly and secretly wiping the saliva that had unconsciously flowed from the corner of her mouth, forcibly cutting off the wild fantasies in her mind.
No, no, if I keep thinking like this, I'm afraid I'll pick up some strange habit!
"Senior Sisters, Miss Jiang, you all come up as well."
Xu Jinhuan spoke to the several women traveling with him in the sky.
Immediately, the White Dragon, who had been drooling in infatuation, changed expression; her giant dragon vertical pupils looked at the group of women in the sky with unfriendly eyes.
In her eyes was naked rejection.
This young lady does not want others riding on her head!
However, just as she struck a pose of resistance, she felt an icy gaze coming from above her head.
"Hmm?"
Xu Jinhuan's indifferent word instantly made the White Dragon's whole body stiffen.
She closed her eyes unwillingly, tears of humiliation even flowing from the corners of her eyes, looking like a wronged person resigned to fate, ready to be plucked.
Seeing Ao Linger's unwilling appearance, Liu Changxi shook her head.
"Young Master, this isn't very good. Since Sister Linger is unwilling, it's better if we fly ourselves."
"Yes, there's no need to force Sister Linger; we can just fly in ourselves."
Fang Qingyao also spoke up quickly, speaking on behalf of Ao Linger.
The other women also expressed the same attitude. To be honest, they all quite admired this little girl who had sacrificed herself to save her older brother, and they didn't want to make things too difficult for her.
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan smiled helplessly and could only ride the dragon alone, enjoying the happiness of being a Dragon Knight by himself.
He sat steadily on the White Dragon's head and gave a soft order:
"Let's go, to the Supreme Palace."
The White Dragon then perked up again, her eyes shining, and with a flick of her dragon tail, she carried Xu Jinhuan and transformed into a streak of white light, speeding toward the Supreme Palace in the core of the Ancient Battlefield.
