Translator: 549690339
Feng Chaochou watched from a distance with his arms folded, his eyes still retaining a trace of lingering astonishment.
The moment he first saw An Qing, Feng Chaochou was stunned.
Her beauty was different from that of Tan Xiaoyu and Hua Tingting—it was the kind that made men involuntarily feel the urge to protect her. Especially matched with her animated character-like exquisite face. Commonly referred to as the ultimate “Iolita.”
Dammit, why does this guy have so many beauties around him?
Feng Chaochou thought resentfully.
Once I settle my important business, I’ll find a way to take all these ladies for myself!
As for Xue An.
Feng Chaochou didn’t pay him any attention.
He came from the Feng Family in the provincial city, a legitimate wealthy household there.
And in the provincial city, even across Beijiang, there had been no mention of a wealthy family bearing the surname Xue.
So, he figured that Xue An was just a common man, that’s all.
Feng Chaochou was neither a martial artist nor a magician; his reason for coming to Mount Qingmang was solely because of that middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was named Zuo Yuqi, a renowned Feng Shui master in the provincial city.
It was he who said that a magic artifact would appear in Mount Qingmang, suggesting that if it could be obtained and presented to his family, Feng
Chaochou would undoubtedly become the Family Head of the Feng Family. That was why he had traveled hundreds of miles to this backwater.
“What are you guys up to?” An Qing asked at that moment.
Before Xue An could speak, Feng Chaochou had already come forward, with a smile on his face he said, “Hello, I am Feng Chaochou, from the Feng Family in the provincial city, maybe we could get to know each other!”
An Qing gave him a cold glance and didn’t bother with him at all.
Feng Chaochou felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to come closer, but at that moment, the man by An Qing’s side, without a change in expression, stepped forward and pushed Feng Chaochou to the side.
Feng Chaochou was stunned, and his face darkened involuntarily.
“Feng Shao, it’s better to prioritize important matters. I see the dragon energy is becoming more vibrant, we should hurry!” Zuo Yuqi, fearing that the grand opportunity would be ruined, promptly advised.
Feng Chaochou snorted through his nose and turned to Xue An, asking, “Where is Blackwater Pond?”
Xue An smiled lightly, “It’s just up ahead, follow me!”
At this time, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian said to An Qing, “Auntie Auntie, Daddy is going to take us to see the big long worm!”
The two little girls still remembered the Jiaolong in Blackwater Pond, but they called it the big long worm. Feng Chaochou sneered inwardly.
Big long worm?
That’s really funny, they won’t even know how they died when the time comes.
An Qing’s heart stirred, and she nodded, “Then I’ll also go have a look, is that alright?”
“Alright, alright!”
The sudden inclusion of An Qing didn’t elicit any particular reaction from Xue
However, the several silent men by her side piqued Xue An’s interest.
Those men clearly had commendable skills, and they maintained silence throughout, conducting themselves in a disciplined manner.
Could they be military personnel?
A thought flashed through Xue An’s mind.
The journey from Lihua Valley to Blackwater Pond was not too far.
The path was rugged and uneven, which made the travel slow.
Xue An simply carried one daughter in each arm and then casually led the way at the front.
This display of strength caught the attention of An Qing’s bodyguards with a flash in their eyes.
Just as Feng Chaochou’s face was turning pale, feeling like he could barely hold on any longer.
They arrived at Blackwater Pond.
The place looked no different from when Xue An had left last time.
However, upon arriving, Zuo Yuqi became excited.
“Yes, this is it! The Jiaolong is about to transform; it’s a rare opportunity that comes once in a hundred years! Feng Shao, if we handle this well, not only will you control the Feng Family, you could also reach the summit of the provincial city’s elite.”
Feng Chaochou’s expression turned to one of excitement as well.
At that moment, the water in Blackwater Pond began to boil, and the sky, which had been clear, suddenly became overcast with clouds.
“It’s happening! It’s about to come out!” Zuo Yuqi muttered to himself, then with some regret, pulled out a set of small flags from his bosom and started planting them around Blackwater Pond.
After inserting the objects, several red lines faintly appeared above the Black Water Pool.
Suddenly, an immensely huge snakehead emerged from the Black Water Pool.
Two horns had already formed on the head of the snake, and its pair of eyes were filled with agony.
This sight sent a huge shock through An Qing, who had not taken the situation seriously before.
Oh my god!
Could there really be a Jiaolong?
At first, An Qing thought it might just be some Giant Python.
But she had not expected it to be such a divine creature.
Several silent men immediately stood around An Qing to protect her.
Thunder rumbled faintly in the sky.
Suddenly.
With a crack,
a massive bolt of lightning streaked directly toward the Giant Python in the Black Water Pool.
With this strike, the Giant Python let out a pained roar before plunging into the Black Water Pool, turning the water crimson with its blood.
Many of the onlookers were scared silly.
The elderly Daoist Zhai was especially excited, “The Jiaolong is transforming,
Master! That Jiaolong is about to ascend to the heavens!”
But just then, another even more massive bolt of lightning shot toward the Black Water Pool.
It completely ignored the resistance of the water and plunged straight in.
The ground trembled as if a giant creature was struggling in pain.
At the same time, the third bolt of lightning came.
The first lightning strike was to transform the dragon’s horns, the second was to shed the python’s skin, and the third and final one was the Dragon’s Ascension to Heaven!
If it could withstand this hit, then the Jiaolong would completely transform into a dragon.
But at this moment, the small flags arranged by Zuo Yuqi began to flicker.
The lightning seemed unable to find the Black Dragon Pool and hovered above, then surprisingly dissipated.
Zuo Yuqi was overjoyed!
Meanwhile, the Giant Python thrust its head out fiercely, full of wounds but still extremely furious as it charged at Zuo Yuqi.
“Feng Shao! Now’s the time!”
Feng Chaochou wasn’t foolish and knew that success or failure hinged on this moment, so he shouted, “Quick! Take action!”
Those who had come with him all pulled various firearms from the backpacks they carried on their backs.
There was even a rocket launcher.
This arsenal also took An Qing by surprise.
To be able to procure such official equipment, the Feng Family’s influence was not to be underestimated!
“Fire!”
The firearms targeted the Giant Python and opened fire.
The bullets struck the Giant Python, creating sparks everywhere.
The hardness of its scales made Feng Chaochou click his tongue in wonder.
But it also made his ambition burn even hotter.
If he could tame it, who would dare to provoke him?
But the Giant Python was clearly enraged. With a wide-open mouth, a blast of black mist surged directly toward Feng Chaochou and his men.
Startled, Feng Chaochou hurriedly rolled out of the way to dodge the attack.
Those behind him were enveloped by the black mist and crisply dissolved into the black water.
Feng Chaochou was terrified out of his wits.
Zuo Yuqi, with a grave expression, took out the last magical tool.
It was a cinnabar essence stone he had prepared for years, specifically to deal with the Jiaolong on the verge of transformation.
Once thrown, the Jiaolong would be at his command.
At this thought, Zuo Yuqi’s heart blazed with eagerness.
In fact, his arduous journey here was not to assist Feng Chao but entirely for his own purposes.
But at that moment, someone sneered, “This Jiaolong belongs to the Wangui
Sect.. The rest of you, scram!”
