198: Can you turn into a dragon in the bridal chamber?
After leaving this message, Eclipse Moon Scribe vanished into thin air.
Li Yan, meanwhile, pondered her true intentions.
"She doesn't want me to die, yet she wishes I'd die by her hand."
"What exactly does this woman want? Does she want to see me suffer and cling to life, does she want me to experience her pain?"
Regardless, Li Yan was not one to sit idly by and await death.
No matter if Eclipse Moon Scribe's intentions were good or malicious, or if this information was true or false.
None of this would hinder Li Yan's original plan, which was to seize control of the Old Heavenly Court.
Sitting in the rocking chair, Li Yan began to calculate how to take over this place and claim the Gui Xu Realm Abyss for himself.
Just then, a knock sounded from outside the courtyard gate.
With Yuan Ye's turtle shell serving as Li Yan's Immortal abode, he could see clearly who was outside the gate with a mere thought.
"Hmm?"
In his line of sight, a woman with crystal Dragon horns on her head, wearing a white dress embroidered with light blue patterns, appeared at Li Yan's door.
Seeing this unfamiliar woman, Li Yan didn't recognize her for a moment.
"She is?"
Then he looked at the white-haired woman's Dragon horns, could it be... she was Ao Jiao?
Li Yan waved his hand, and the courtyard gate opened.
The woman seemed a bit constrained and unnatural: "Um..."
"You're Ao Jiao?" Li Yan interrupted her, questioning first.
Ao Jiao bit her pink lip lightly, adopting a 'what's done is done' attitude.
"It's me, your old lady!"
At that moment, Li Yan fell silent.
"Hmm... well, when you don't speak, you're quite beautiful."
Ao Jiao raised an eyebrow, hands on her hips: "What do you mean?"
"Your old lady didn't transform into human form for you."
"You know, this Immortal abode is too small, it can't accommodate my perfect Dragon body."
"To get in, I had no choice but to transform into a skinny monkey."
At this moment, Ao Jiao, to explain that she wasn't trying to curry favor with Li Yan, deliberately raised her voice to clarify.
To this, Li Yan could only say... how wonderful it would be if Ao Jiao were a mute bride.
He hadn't expected her to dare to forcibly transform into human form just to come to the Immortal abode to see him.
Given the enormous size of an Ancient Dragon, to compress oneself to such a small size would likely require the use of some spatial Spell.
After all, only by Cultivating to the extreme, where the Dantian Qi Sea collapses into a black hole-like existence, can it accommodate an immense amount of Spiritual Qi.
The process of Cultivating is a continuous compression of the Dantian, allowing the Qi Sea to contain all things in the Universe like a black hole.
Clearly, Ao Jiao must have put in some effort to compress her massive body into human form.
Li Yan scrutinized Ao Jiao from head to toe, and he had to admit... this great female Dragon, after transforming into a human, still possessed considerable charm.
"Ao Jiao, you..."
Before Li Yan could speak, Ao Jiao immediately pointed at his nose.
"Don't say I'm ugly! Don't badmouth me!"
"This is my first time transforming into human form, and I don't know if I look ugly like this."
"Anyway, you skinny monkeys all look pretty much the same."
To a giant Dragon, Human Race Cultivators were like ants.
Would you care about the differences in appearance between ants?
At most, you'd distinguish between different types of ants, but you wouldn't care about individual differences between them.
Ao Jiao also didn't know if her human form was beautiful or ugly in the eyes of the Human Race.
Anyway, she thought Dragons were the most beautiful!
Watching Ao Jiao's domineering refusal to let Li Yan say she was ugly, Li Yan suppressed a smile.
And seeing Li Yan secretly smiling, a faint blush appeared on Ao Jiao's face, and she said in a fit of rage.
"I said no laughing!"
"I know I don't look good as a human, if you laugh again, your old lady will blow up your Immortal abode!"
Ao Jiao, extremely proud and sensitive, mistakenly thought her appearance was unattractive.
Li Yan didn't dare to joke with her; this great female Dragon, if she said she'd blow up your Immortal abode, she really would.
At this moment, Li Yan put away his smile and waved his hand: "Let's talk business, come with me."
Ao Jiao paused, then asked curiously: "How do you know I'm here to talk business with you?"
Seeing Ao Jiao say this, Li Yan's expression instantly became serious.
"Well, it's about time we considered our future."
Ao Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and her tone became somewhat unnatural.
"Yes... yes, we should talk about our future."
He nodded, pointing inside the house: "Let's go, come inside and talk business."
At this, Ao Jiao's delicate little face flushed instantly, from her cheeks to her earlobes.
The great female Dragon was a bit bashful, lowering her head and fiddling with the hem of her clothes, seeming somewhat distracted: "So fast? Are you Human Race Cultivators all so impatient? As expected... as expected of skinny monkeys."
"I'm thinking, how many eggs should we hatch, and how should we raise the little Dragons in the future..."
When he heard Ao Jiao say this, Li Yan's eye twitched violently.
I think she's truly hungry after being Sealed underwater for tens of thousands of years, so hungry she'll eat anything without being picky? Not even sparing me, Li Yan?
"Ao Jiao, listen to me, the business I'm talking about concerns our future."
Ao Jiao said with a serious expression: "Yes, I'm also talking about business."
"Have you considered continuing to transform into Little Yellow Dragon? I still like you best when you're a Dragon, very handsome!"
"It's just, when we consummate our Dao Companion, can you consider transforming into a Dragon?"
Me!?
Li Yan almost choked, and his vision went black.
"Ao Jiao, I'm talking about the Gui Xu Realm Abyss and the destruction of the Old Heavenly Court."
It wasn't until this sentence was spoken that Ao Jiao's mind instantly cleared.
"So what you wanted to talk about was this? Not about us becoming Dao Companions?"
Li Yan waved his hand: "Let's put that topic aside for now."
"Now, I have a plan. You and I will join forces to control the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, to control the Old Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing this, Ao Jiao's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Control the Old Heavenly Court? Just you and me?"
"Yes."
"Come inside, let's talk in detail."
Li Yan took Ao Jiao's hand and walked into the Immortal abode.
Ao Jiao, being led by the hand, felt an inexplicable stirring in her heart. Looking at this skinny monkey in front of her, she didn't know why she no longer felt as repulsed as before.
Looking at his human appearance, he seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
One human and one Dragon entered the house, and Li Yan said with a stern face: "I received news that the Gui Xu Realm Abyss is not safe. I'm afraid the Law here will slowly disintegrate, and time will resume flowing."
"Where did you get this information?" Ao Jiao showed a suspicious expression: "Even Purple Star Master and the others don't know, yet you know in advance?"
"Li Yan, your identity is very suspicious. Who exactly are you?"
The Li Yan in front of her, dressed in a simple Daoist robe, didn't look like an Immortal at all.
But all his actions showed that he was by no means a Mortal.
"Ao Jiao, if you trust me, do as I say."
"The next plan might be very crazy, but it concerns our survival."
Ao Jiao clapped her chest boldly: "I trust you, tell me quickly!"
At this moment, Li Yan was terrifyingly serious as he slowly revealed a shocking plan.
"I'm going to hijack the Heavenly Emperor's divine coffin!"
