Chapter 116: The Dragon King Succeeds!
============================================================

"Um… I'm still very weak…"

"Huh? That bad? That shouldn't be possible. I've been examining you thoroughly from head to toe every day. You should be fully recovered by now."

Yulan looked worried as she tugged at Su Cheng's clothes, ready to examine him again…

"Hold on, Yulan, I really…"

Yu Lan smiled sweetly, her jade-like finger gently pressing against Su Cheng's lips, signaling him to be quiet.

"I don't take no for an answer twice. You'd better watch your words."

[System, you never mentioned this Dragon King was a yandere!]

[Ding~ As expected of the Host! You've won the Dragon King's heart so quickly!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, on completing the faction quest: Conquer the Dragon King. Reward: 5 cultivation points. More rewards await your continued development and exploration!]

Su Cheng was ready to curse like a sailor! What the hell kind of development and exploration was this?!

Explore what? Develop who?

You're basically saying this is all my own doing! I don't even want this damn cultivation points!

"Yu Lan, listen to me."

Yu Lan nodded, not paying much attention. She understood Su Cheng well enough—he was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, not even on par with some prodigies.

As long as the jade pendant was in her possession, Su Cheng couldn't escape without his magical artifact!

Even if he had a personal artifact—like that black spear—Yu Lan was confident she could pin him to the bed before he could draw it~

She wasn't some illusory Dragon King in the Trial Hall—she was the real deal. She wouldn't stand idly by waiting for Su Cheng to stack his buffs.

"My lord, speak freely. Your servant is listening~"

This thing…

"First, let me ask—your Dragon King Hall doesn't have a Sixth Elder, does it…"

"No, my lord. Why do you ask?"

Yu Lan's expression paired with her loli face could melt any man's heart. She possessed the power to crush any man, yet wore the face of a vulnerable loli in need of protection…

"The enemies I face are countless, most of them terrifying foes who could obliterate me in a single strike. Following me is extremely dangerous."

"I'm not afraid of danger, my lord. I can protect you."

Su Cheng was a bit dazed. How had he suddenly become Yu Lan's husband?

It seemed to have started just now. Had he said something to give her the wrong idea?

The first time they met, she'd called him an idiot…

"Keeping your distance is the safest thing for you. Do you understand?"

"Is my husband worried about me?"

"Well… you could interpret it that way. But following me would be far from beneficial for you. I have far too many enemies."

Yulan visibly brightened!

Her husband was worried about her! If she had ears on top of her head or a tail behind her, they'd surely be wagging excitedly right now!

But it didn't matter. Su Cheng could see it in her eyes…

[System, isn't this change a bit drastic?]

[Ding~ All thanks to the Host! Because of the Host's actions, perhaps Yulan will also welcome a new life of her own!]

【System, why haven't I noticed before how sarcastic you sound?】

【Ding~ That's just the host's illusion!】

【Now that the chance has come, I'll try meeting you too. Let's see if I can help you welcome a new life.】

【Ding~…… I don't quite understand…… Host's meaning. Could you rephrase it?】

"Husband, write down the enemies in your notebook. Tomorrow night, I'll help you eliminate them."

Wait, why tomorrow night?

The moment Su Cheng's mind wandered, Yu Lan mounted him. From this angle, that child's body really looked like…

Life imprisonment at minimum, likely death sentence! So tonight's busy, huh?

"Are you absolutely sure about this?"

Su Cheng had truly had enough! With so many beauties swarming around him day and night, he'd long since reached his limit!

He was the antagonist! But he was still human!

What villain could resist such temptation?

"Tonight, this concubine shall deal with her husband first. Husband, you'd better watch closely~"

That old shoulder was slippery as hell!

Su Cheng had actually noticed long ago that Yu Lan wore an oversized nightgown, leaving half her fragrant shoulder exposed.

A simple flick of her wrist could achieve tactical disassembly—just like pop-top cans, incredibly convenient!

"Just so you know, you asked for this. Even if you beg me later, I won't spare you!"

"Does my husband look down on dragons? A mere mortal!"

Absolutely! That look on her face was more potent than any immortal elixir—it was priceless!

"You knew exactly how you'd be treated if you flashed that look, didn't you? You did it on purpose?"

"Who knows? Why the delay? Are you incapable?"

With a thunderous crash, the palace doors slammed shut, propelled by divine magic. Layers upon layers of barriers created a deeply private, soundproof environment. Inside, it felt like a private karaoke room—perfect for singing their hearts out.

For Su Cheng, this felt like the eighth trial. Compared to the previous Dragon Kings, this current one clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with either.

Her blood-red lips were tender and alluring, her skin as smooth and supple as jade. The incense within the room seemed perfectly tailored, pulsing like the beat of music, tantalizing the senses.

Yu Lan and Su Cheng were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique powers. Honestly, it was impossible to say who was stronger.

Like generals eager to make their mark in battle, both sought to tip the scales of victory in their first encounter.

Much like diplomatic negotiations, the battlefield's outcome would profoundly shape their future standing and international influence.

Dignity rests only upon the sword's edge—on one side, the Dragon King who looks down upon all beings; on the other, the battlefield's ever-victorious general.

It was like two swordsmen of supreme skill, each yearning for an opponent worthy of their blade. The moment they clashed, they sensed the other's resolve.

That genuine emotion needs no words—everything is expressed in each strike and parry.

"What is this? Dragon King's Transdimensional Strike! You actually—"

Su Cheng was utterly stunned by this unprecedented technique!

"Mm~Bukit Island~"

As Su Cheng inwardly sensed trouble, he resolved firmly: How could he let himself be manipulated like this?

With no other choice, Su Cheng had no option but to unleash his ultimate move!

"You're strong, but you won't last long! Witness my Mount Tai Meteorite Strike!"

Their duel was nothing short of spectacular, every bit as thrilling as the Ling Mountain Tournament. Divine arts and immortal techniques erupted in an endless cascade, dazzling the eyes!

Both possessed unyielding spirits and formidable martial prowess, making this a clash of titans!

Were it recorded in a book, it would surely become another immortal-tier cultivation technique, one that would send tremors through the Three Realms!

……

Their clash shook the heavens and earth, made mountains tremble and skies darken. The world seemed upside down; each saw only the other, utterly absorbed, likely oblivious to time itself.

"Wait, let's rest a moment! Hmm~ Husband!"

Her long hair, damp with fragrant sweat, clung to her jade-like back and temples. Tiny hands clutched the bedsheet crumpled beneath her like a ball—the victor was clear.

As she spoke, Yu Lan tried to escape. She never dreamed that even her Dragon King's physique couldn't withstand a night of passion!

Husband… truly extraordinary…

But Su Cheng had warned her: even if she begged, he wouldn't spare her…

You started the fire, so you'd better put it out properly, right?

"Huh? Are you giving up?"

A ruthless hand seized Yulan's slender calf, dragging the petite girl back to initiate another round of confrontation.

Inside the Liu family mansion, Ye Qinghan inventoried various supplies. After stowing everything into the jade pendant, he prepared to dig up the Liu family graves when suddenly…

"Why do I feel like… I've lost something… Is it just my imagination?"
