Upon seeing that it was indeed Nangong Liu Yun, Lan Xin hurriedly explained:
“Esteemed Lady Liu Yun, this golden dragon wanted to snatch our owner, so I was forced to fight her, and couldn’t tend to the owner……”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Liu Yun looked at the golden spirit cloud, who had transformed back into human form once again.
“Lan Xin, did you contact me before with the sound-transmitting jade pendant because of her?”
“Yes, I couldn’t reach you, Lady Liu Yun, but fortunately, my cultivation has improved. Otherwise, the owner would have been taken away by her.
She apparently had a conflict with the owner thousands of years ago. She made him do all sorts of lowly things to beg for her mercy…”
At this moment, Golden Spirit Cloud was sizing up Nangong Liu Yun as well.
Then, she chuckled, “Just some mere Martial Ancestor human. Little Qilin, you’re actually afraid of her… What’s wrong, getting younger by the day?”
Lan Xin: “……”
Just then, Nangong Liu Yun appeared in front of Lan Xin.
“Lan Xin, take your master to rest. A severely wounded little gold bug like you should have ended it sooner. Get some practice.”
“Hmm, so you’re Xuan’s wife? Ah, sorry, you’re late. What a shame; his humble begging to me, I forgot to record it with the recording stone, otherwise, we could’ve watched it together.
Oh yeah, your husband is quite good. After I subdue him, I’ll show you how it’s done…”
“Hey, mighty Martial Emperor, resorting to words when injured? Could it be you can’t even handle me, a mere Martial Ancestor?”
“You’re really full of yourself. Then come at me! Let’s see if you have the guts!”
As the words ended, Golden Spirit Cloud’s body was slowly covered by golden dragon scales.
In the next moment, she moved swiftly towards Nangong Liu Yun.
However, facing Golden Spirit Cloud’s attack, Nangong Liu Yun didn’t grab any weapon.
“Just a human trying to match me in terms of physical strength? That’s a bit of a stretch, isn’t it?”
“No problem, my cultivation is strong enough to defeat you.”
As soon as Nangong Liu Yun finished speaking, she instantly grabbed Golden Spirit Cloud’s hand, threw her into the air.
When Nangong Liu Yun reappeared, she was above Golden Spirit Cloud, and with one step, she smashed her into the ground, creating a huge pit.
Beside, watching the battle, Lan Xin secretly sucked in a breath.
At this moment, Lan Xin thought to herself:
“It seems Lady Liu Yun held back when she beat me black and blue back then.
Indeed, no wonder she’s a top shot with a golden fortune, still too much. Only a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse might truly subdue her.”
…..
When Jiang Xuan slowly came to, he found himself lying on a wooden bed in a small wooden hut—the same one he initially built. Upon waking up, Nangong Liu Yun came over and greeted him:
“Husband, you finally woke up…”
“Liu Yun… why are you here…”
“Of course, I came to see my husband. By the way, I have something to discuss with you…”
“Oh, right, where’s Xiao Xin? When I passed out, she was fighting with Lingyun…”
“Oh, she’s fine. She’s outside now, keeping an eye on that nine-clawed golden dragon.”
Outside the wooden hut.
Golden Spirit Cloud, looking bruised and battered, was stuffed in a black sack.
Lan Xin snickered nearby,
“Ahhh, I told you the outcome, but you wouldn’t listen and provoked Master’s wife. Now what? How’s the view from the inside of the sack?”
Golden Spirit Cloud: “……”
“Hmph, she only managed it because I was severely injured. If it were just after my seal broke, I could have wiped her out with one move.”
As soon as Golden Spirit Cloud finished speaking, Nangong Liu Yun walked out from the wooden hut.
“Oh…please stay calm, Sir. The things I said were…”
Before she could finish, Nangong Liu Yun picked up the sack and walked inside, stuffing it under the wooden bed.
Golden Spirit Cloud watched this move with a look of confusion.
On the other side, Lan Xin decided to return to the lake bottom to recover her spiritual power and injuries.
On the wooden bed,
Nangong Liu Yun took Jiang Xuan’s face gently into her hands
“Husband, that nine-clawed golden dragon said you begged her humbly recently? Can you show me how you begged?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!”
“That never happened. I’m Jiang Xuan, I’ve never been humble to anyone!”
“Hmm, but she’s a dragon, does that mean you ride dragons?”
Jiang Xuan was momentarily lost for words.
“I…don’t know what you mean…”
Just then, the dragon under the bed, Golden Spirit Cloud, snapped out of it and laughed loudly:
“He can’t be a dragon knight, such weak strength, naturally only fit to be treated.”
“Little gold bug, say another word and I’ll cripple your cultivation.”
Golden Spirit Cloud: “!!!”
With no response from Golden Spirit Cloud, Nangong Liu Yun continued,
“Husband, shall I make this golden dragon your servant? If you don’t want her, I’ll dispose of her.
Considering you already have Xiao Xin as a servant, having one more or less is about the same.”
After hearing this, Jiang Xuan remembered the secret realm underwater requiring a drop of Golden Spirit Cloud’s heartblood to open and the ancient dragon technique he learned previously also needed heartblood from the dragon clan.
This suggests dragons seem pretty precious.
“About that… Liu Yun, I’d like to keep this golden dragon as my servant…”
“Alright, later I’ll help you form a master-servant contract with her.
Speaking of which, Husband… There’s one thing I forgot to tell you.
Your deputy pavilion master of the Xuantian Pavilion is visiting the Nangong Residence.
What do you think I should do with her?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!”
“Uh… about Xuantian Pavilion… You know everything, Liu Yun?”
“Yes, yes, Husband, to help homeless people, you created the Xuantian Pavilion, looking quite solid.
That deputy pavilion master promised me another position and equality if I let her see you.
I asked her to wait at the Nangong Residence for two days. Then, I hurried here to find you.
By the way, in four days, it’s our grand wedding date.
I plan to spend two days here with you and then bring you to the Great Jiang Imperial City.”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
