Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Misunderstanding?
Surrounding them, numerous disciples of the Jade Ling Palace had recovered from their shock. The looks in their eyes when they gazed at Ao Yan were filled with respect.

This was a place where the strongest rule. Before Ao Yan, Ouyang Haohai had been considered the most gifted and powerful disciple within the Jade Ling Palace.

But now, Ao Yan had easily defeated him, making her that person who naturally earns everyone’s respect.

Furthermore, everyone could sense the excitement in Ao Yan when she spoke those words.

Everyone assumed that Ao Yan’s excitement was due to her defeat of Ouyang Haohai, effectively solidifying herself as the most formidable disciple within the Jade Ling Palace.

In reality, it was not the case. Only the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable truly knew the reason behind Ao Yan’s excitement.

For a moment, the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable couldn’t help but sigh, unsure of whether this situation was a good or bad thing.

However, with her knowledge of the recent events concerning that young man, she could only helplessly shake her head.

“This young man really does have quite the luck. Even the Saintess has taken a liking to him. Could it be that I’ve misjudged him from the start?” the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable muttered to herself.

At this point, Ao Yan had already descended from the stage with cheerful strides, not even sparing a glance at her soon-to-be opponent. Instead, she made a beeline for the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable.

“Master, I’ve succeeded. You remember the two months you promised me!”

Ao Yan appeared fairly excited, though the most thrilling moment had already passed.

The Martial Sea Immortal Venerable smiled helplessly and could only nod. However, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

The mess that Jiang Xiaobai had created of late was far from small.

The ancient races were practically going mad trying to capture him.

I wonder how Ao Yan will react when she finds out about this.

At the moment, Ao Yan was completely oblivious. She only knew that Ao Wan had sent her a message saying that Jiang Xiaobai was perfectly fine, he had just relocated to the Central State.

As long as everything was alright, that was enough. After all, the Jade Ling Palace had a direct teleportation formation to Central State!

Her face, hidden behind her veil, was flushed with excitement at the thought of soon seeing the person she treasured deep in her heart.

It was truly a strange feeling.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Haohai had gotten back on his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Ao Yan.

This woman, he was becoming more and more interested!

In the past, he was considered invincible among the disciples of the Jade Ling Palace. Although there were many beautiful female disciples, he never paid them any mind.

In his eyes, only those who were at his strength level were worth considering.

Especially when he thought of Ao Yan’s previously excited tone, warmth flooded his heart.

“I didn’t expect her to see me as a target worth pursuing. Truly, the matters of this world are mysterious.” Ouyang Haohai muttered to himself, his previous regret over missing out on the top reward already long gone.

There would always be more opportunities for treasures.

Just then, he walked over, greeting her with congeniality and grace, akin to a gentleman: “Congratulations, junior sister Ao Yan, I didn’t expect your strength to be this formidable, truly shocking.”

“Today’s battle was exhilarating. Tonight, as your senior brother, I shall host a celebration for you on Nine Gods Mountain outside the Jade Ling Palace.”

However, his enthusiastic invitation was met with indifference.

Ao Yan merely glanced at him, before lightly saying, “Senior brother, there’s no need, I have other matters to attend to.”

The stark contrast left Ouyang Haohai stunned.

But he quickly assumed that Ao Yan was just a bit shy and did not think much of it. After all, once the competition was over, the pressures of training would lighten and there would be plenty of time.

Only the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable cast a surprised look at the two, before silently shaking her head without uttering a word.

Upon seeing that Ao Yan did not pay him much attention, Ouyang Haohai retreated back to his spot. His gaze though periodically drifted back to her direction.

While waiting for the final competitors to appear, Ao Yan informed Ao Wan of the good news of her impending championship, and diligently asked about Jiang Xiaobai.

In the Dragon Valley, Ao Wan was dumbfounded. Why is she asking about that damn Jiang Xiaobai?

As it stood, just hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s name made his blood boil, let alone thinking about him in detail.

That damn Jiang Xiaobai had caused all sorts of trouble in the Northern State. He had even dragged Ao Cheng into it and ended up being hunted relentlessly by the ancient race.

Ao Wan himself was incredibly anxious!

As for informing Ao Yan, he decided it best not to say anything. He feared that Ao Yan might impulsively make her way to the Northern State in a fit of rage.

With no choice left, Ao Wan simply glossed over the situation, assuring Ao Yan that Jiang Xiaobai was living comfortably and not to worry.

When Ao Yan asked where Jiang Xiaobai was, Ao Wan was once again at a loss for words.

It was Ao Cangtian who suggest a rather peculiar excuse: “You can tell her that he is out traveling, and he will return to Dragon Valley in less than half a month. His exact whereabouts are ever-changing…”

The excuse was outright absurd, but Ao Yan actually believed it!

Meanwhile, in the Jade Ling Palace, the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable who was seated beside Ao Yan was puzzled. She saw clearly when Ao Yan took out her communication token.

She did not need to think to know that Ao Yan was inquiring about Jiang Xiaobai’s whereabouts. According to her understanding of Ao Yan, she should have already lost control after learning about Jiang Xiaobai’s actual situation.

Therefore, how could she seem so relaxed?

Immediately, the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable understood. It would seem, the people in the Dragon Valley were also worried about Ao Yan acting impulsively and decided to withhold the information.

The Martial Sea Immortal Venerable couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Ao Yan, cursing Jiang Xiaobai for his foolishness in her heart.

Subsequently, Ao Yan’s fights were effortless, especially her final match. The opponent simply surrendered before the match had even started!

What a joke! If Ao Yan was deemed capable of defeating the strongest disciple in the Jade Ling Palace, then what would the lucky one become?

Ao Yan did not bother acknowledging the defeat, her steps livening up as she descended the stage.

Everyone thought Ao Yan was happy because she had won the championship, even Ouyang Haohai was feeling a sense of sweetness in his heart.

Indeed, wouldn’t he be happy if the woman he admired became the champion?

An hour later, Ao Yan, who had received all her rewards and praise, sought out the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable, ready to say her goodbyes.

“Master, I will be leaving now, see you in two months,” Ao Yan stated respectfully.

The Martial Sea Immortal Venerable was deep in thought and took a moment to answer.

In that moment, Ao Yan furrowed her brow, sensing that something was amiss, “Master, are you hiding something from me?”

“No.”

“No?”

Ao Yan muttered the question to herself. But just then, she hastily took out her communication token. The Martial Sea Immortal Venerable only felt the Ao Yan in front of her transform into an eternal icy mountain within a moment!

Cold, bone-chillingly so.
