116: Challenge the mission and the dedication of the dragon people!

Black Yuan City,

In the exquisite bamboo building,

Jiang Lin looked at the pattering rain outside the window and sighed, "Those few lines just now made my blood boil!"

"As expected of a Child of Destiny, you've truly amazed me this time!"

"To display such talent right after seven days of bad luck, truly remarkable!"

"Duan Tianya is completely dormant, his memories entirely gone; I refuse to believe he possesses such wisdom relying solely on instinct!"

"It seems the Heavenly Dao still has some tricks up its sleeve for you!"

"Strategist System?"

"Or a mole System?"

"Has the script changed?"

"Is it transforming from a straightforward, overpowered novel into a son-in-law's counter-attack novel?"

"How interesting! Only an opponent like this can make me feel at ease messing with you!"

"Otherwise, if you died, I'd have nowhere to pin the blame!"

"Of course, there are also so many villains I can't stand, and I need you to help me kill them!"

Just then, a pair of fair arms appeared in his vision.

The next moment, the fragrance of winter jasmine reached his nostrils.

"Young Master, what are you muttering about?"

"These past few days, you've been busy running around for Xia Shirou's Foundation Establishment, and you haven't properly accompanied me..."

Her voice was bone-numbingly soft, making one's heart race.

Jiang Lin turned his head,

And saw that flawless face...

It was Shangguan Yaoyao!

During this period, Shangguan Yaoyao had increasingly lost her sense of boundaries, as if she had truly become his maid.

This often led Jiang Lin to forget that she was the First Female Lead.

In every aspect, Shangguan Yaoyao was now very loyal.

And she hadn't stopped causing trouble for Xiao Dong.

First, she forced Xiao Dong to swear a poisonous oath before the Ancient God's Secret Treasure, then she often hindered him from "intervening" to save Xiao Dong, and last time she directly stole all of Xiao Dong's most crucial items...

It seemed she was truly clinging to him now.

To please him, she was truly trying too hard.

Sometimes, even Jiang Lin found it unbelievable.

"Yao'er, let's prepare to return to the capital now, and we can pass by the Poison Domain Swamp on the way, so Shi Rou can establish her Foundation there!"

Upon hearing Xia Shirou's name, Shangguan Yaoyao bit her lip and pushed Jiang Lin directly onto a chair.

"No, it's always 'Shi Rou' this and 'Shi Rou' that!"

"Yao'er is unhappy, so she wants to punish Young Master!"

...

As the sun set in the west, an anxious figure appeared outside the bamboo building.

It was Donghuang Pan!

She paced back and forth, repeatedly checking the mission interface in her mind.

"Side Quest 'Race Against Time': Use all means to gain sixty percent trust from your Dao Companion!"

"Quest Description: 1. Activation Reward: Three days of Lifespan (only thirty minutes remaining); 2. Completion Reward: Affection effect increased (1 Affection = 1 day of Lifespan)!"

"Current Trust: 32%"

It's over!

Only thirty minutes left!

These past few days, besides setting up Formations in Black Yuan City, she had no time to interact with Jiang Lin.

She originally thought sixty percent would be quite easy!

But it turned out to be a slap in the face!

This trust is too difficult to gain!

I've been working so hard setting up Formations, my Dragon Horns are practically smoking!

Why did his affection only increase by so little?

Also, I don't look bad either!

My beauty, how should I put it, is top-tier among the Human Race!

I'm no worse than his beloved concubines and maids!

Why hasn't he ever paid attention to me?

If it weren't for the Quest Assistant,

Deliberately creating various contacts with Jiang Lin while setting up Formations.

She wouldn't even have a chance at this thirty-two percent!

But now it seems everything is too late!

Only half an hour left, and she might not even get to see him!

Listening to the cooing sounds from inside the room, an inexplicable irritation bubbled up within her.

Every time she saw Jiang Lin, she couldn't help but want to completely possess him.

Seeing him with other women, she couldn't help but want to kill them.

This was even when the tyrannical power within her was completely suppressed.

Donghuang Pan knew this wasn't the influence of her Bloodline or the mask.

She was truly infatuated with Jiang Lin!

Every inch of this human being resonated deeply with her heart.

He perfectly matched all her expectations for a Dao Companion.

She didn't want anyone, no, any living being, to get close to him!

Therefore, as a Yao Race Princess, when she learned that she had to gain the other party's affection and trust to survive, she didn't feel any aversion and immediately chose to accept it.

Moreover, she understood her position very well!

She didn't demand too much; she just wanted to be by Jiang Lin's side forever.

Especially after becoming a Dragon-Human, she completely lost her psychological burden.

She was willing to give everything for this man!

"No, I don't want to die!"

"I truly still want to accompany him, to help him reach the pinnacle of the Three Realms!"

"I'll go in right now, tell him everything, and make him trust me!"

"Ding, Quest Assistant triggered!"

"Guidance Tip: The host must not reveal any information about this Opportunity to the outside world, including your Dao Companion, otherwise, during the process, it will cause a backlash from Heaven and Earth, leading to direct annihilation!

Therefore, it is not recommended for the host to choose this suicidal operation, as it may also implicate your Dao Companion!"

"Guidance Tip 2: The host is not completely without hope; you can choose the Extreme Life-and-Death Challenge Quest!"

"Description: The Extreme Life-and-Death Challenge Quest is a first-priority quest; during the quest, the host will not die due to the exhaustion of Lifespan!"

"Host, do you wish to initiate the Extreme Life-and-Death Challenge Quest?"

"Once the quest begins, life and death are unknown; only by completing the quest will there be a chance to survive!"

"Host, please proceed with caution!"

Seeing this message, Donghuang Pan said without thinking, "Initiate! I was going to die anyway!"

"Ding, the host has initiated the Extreme Life-and-Death Challenge Quest!"

"Randomly generating Extreme Life-and-Death Challenge Quest..."

"Ding, Quest Generated: Dragon-Human's Devotion!"

"'Dragon-Human's Devotion': You are a devoted Dragon-Human, willing to dedicate everything to your Dao Companion!

The Great Era is approaching, and you do not wish for your Dao Companion to have low strength and live precariously!

You must refine yourself into a Heavenly Yao Sacrifice Cauldron to help your Dao Companion form a Heavenly Yao Blood Core, break through the limits of living being Bloodlines, and return to the power of Origin!"

"Quest Reward: Divine-Grade Item 'Sacrifice Resurrection Card' (can be resurrected after sacrifice, cultivation and Divine Abilities restored to current state!), and three months of Lifespan!"

"Description: This quest has no time limit, but the Heavenly Yao Sacrifice Cauldron Seed can only exist for ten days; if it is not transformed into a Cauldron Body within ten days, it will directly dissipate!"

"If the Cauldron Seed dissipates, it means the quest has failed, and the host will be directly erased!"

"Challenge Quest begins!"

"Remaining time: Ten days!"
