Chapter 267: Ao Lan Wags Her Tail: Did You Forget Something?

“No need, you saved so many of my Jiao Dragon Clan, the drinks are on the house.”

Seeing Nie Chen was about to pay for the drinks even after leaving, Xiang Ying hurriedly refused repeatedly.

“Then thank you, Xiang Ying girl. I’ll come back to Shuangyue Pavilion for drinks and to watch the singing and dancing when I have the chance.”

Nie Chen amicably patted Xiang Ying.

Perhaps, this was the legendary “eating and running” [Note: This refers to enjoying the services without paying].

Watching Nie Chen’s departing figure, all the Jiao Dragon Clan, including Xiang Ying, felt like crying but had no tears.

They were naturally willing to repay Nie Chen’s kindness, but Nie Chen didn’t come here for drinks and entertainment at all, he simply came to show off his love!

Wuwuwu, the most painful thing in the world is watching others desperately show off their love under various guises!

Looking at each other, all the Jiao Dragons in Shuangyue Pavilion had tears in their eyes, the atmosphere heavy with silence.

At this moment, Nie Chen, gently holding Chu Qingyue’s hand, left Shuangyue Pavilion.

“Wife, does your back still feel cold?”

Nie Chen touched the damp spot on Chu Qingyue’s back where her clothes were still wet.

“What do you think?”

Chu Qingyue stared at Nie Chen resentfully.

That handful of snow had completely melted inside her clothes, and even now, her smooth back still felt a little cold, with some lingering water droplets.

That adorable look made Nie Chen couldn’t help but be amused.

“Hateful, you still dare to laugh at this Empress!”

“Hahaha.”

But what came was Nie Chen’s even more unrestrained laughter.

“Hateful!”

Although she said so, Chu Qingyue’s bright eyes flickered faintly.

Her slender little finger also quietly hooked Nie Chen’s finger.

Looking at the Empress beside him, who was silent but whose emotions were faintly revealed, Nie Chen smiled slightly.

Sure enough, his wife had never changed.

Returning to Heavenly Cloud Palace, Chu Qingyue, seemingly quite satisfied with their date, returned to the hall contentedly.

After all, while also attacking the remnants of Feiyu Sacred Lands and Yushan Great Emperor’s forces, there were many matters within Heavenly Cloud Palace that needed to be handled.

More importantly, there was still the mysterious Emperor Mausoleum, where it was unknown what had happened.

This matter was enough to arouse the attention of the entire Lanchuan Continent.

Before going to the Emperor Mausoleum to figure out the situation, they had to make sufficient preparations.

Nie Chen also returned to his room alone to take stock of his belongings.

He had consumed many magical treasures in this battle, but he had also gained many good things.

The skill points obtained from the rewards, combined with the skill points refined from the previous battles, now totaled only 80 skill points.

As for other things…

Besides the refined colorful Eighth-Rank Pill, there was also a dazzling golden box placed quietly in Nie Chen’s spiritual sea.

This box was the system reward obtained from killing the three Great Emperors.

Not to mention what was inside, just the box itself, shimmering with dazzling light, was of extraordinary grade.

The Nine Yang Chaos Pill had already been used up. For Nie Chen, who wanted to quickly improve to the Great Emperor realm and properly “teach” the Empress a lesson, these treasures were naturally extremely important.

Just like opening a treasure chest in a game, Nie Chen slowly opened the golden box.

Immediately, a dazzling light burst forth.

“Legendary!”

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining “Great Emperor’s Finger”]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heavenly Grade magical treasure: Demon Subduing Staff]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Immortal Grade Fragment: “Qinghui’s Decisive Words”]

“As expected of a reward for killing three Great Emperors.”

Nie Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

“Great Emperor’s Finger,” as the name suggested, allowed one to unleash the power of a Great Emperor realm expert with a single finger. Although it could only be used once a day, it was extremely suitable for his current realm.

The Demon Subduing Staff was a Heavenly Grade magical treasure. This grade was enough to drive countless cultivators crazy.

But the main purpose of the Demon Subduing Staff seemed to be suppressing demonic and ghostly apparitions.

As for the last one…

“Immortal Grade Fragment!”

Judging by the classification of magical treasures and cultivation techniques in Lanchuan Continent, from lowest to highest, they were Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven.

Any Heavenly Grade magical treasure was enough to cause a sensation throughout Lanchuan Continent, with countless cultivators flocking to it.

Even Great Emperor realm experts treasured them immensely and dared not neglect them.

But… Immortal Grade?

To date, Nie Chen had never heard of this grade.

Was this a system error, a classification from another continent, or…

Above the Heavenly Grade, there actually existed an Immortal Grade!

If this were really the case, even if it were just a fragment, it would probably have a value far beyond imagination.

Putting away the rewards, especially the Immortal Grade fragment “Qinghui’s Decisive Words,” Nie Chen directly hid it in the small world covered in frost and snow.

When he had time, he must devote himself to deciphering this “Qinghui’s Decisive Words.”

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Just as Nie Chen was putting away all the system rewards with satisfaction, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Looking out the window, he couldn’t see anyone, only a tuft of fur sticking out from the window. Nie Chen instantly knew who it was.

Besides Ao Lan, there was probably no one in the entire Heavenly Cloud Palace shorter than the window.

Opening the door, he saw Ao Lan outside, seemingly extremely embarrassed, twisting her small body:

“Ahem, did you forget something?”

“Forget what?”

Seeing Ao Lan’s strange behavior for the first time, Nie Chen thought for a moment and quickly remembered.

It turned out that he had forgotten to give her the promised Golden Scale Carp when he had her show her Dragon Girl form at Shuangyue Pavilion last time.

Good heavens, Ao Lan could forget anything, but the Golden Scale Carp was her eternal bond.

“I forgot.”

However, Nie Chen said decisively.

“Eh, you’re useless! Last time, I endured the shame, just, just…”

Ao Lan panicked a little, her tail involuntarily poked out from under her skirt, swaying back and forth uncontrollably.

No matter how hard he tried to hold back, Nie Chen couldn’t help but be amused by her, so he asked:

“How are you doing with the spells and cultivation techniques I taught you before?”

“I’ve learned them all!”

Ao Lan hurriedly replied.

“Then what realm is your cultivation at now?”

“Late Opening Profound Realm.”

“Not bad.”

Nie Chen was quite satisfied with Ao Lan’s answer.

“In that case, here you go.”

Nie Chen sighed with a smile and took out three Golden Scale Carp from his spatial ring.

“Hehe, great, more fish to eat!”

Ao Lan cheered, her little face full of joy, even her mouth seemed to be watering slightly.

Jumping up, she hurriedly tried to grab the Golden Scale Carp.

But Nie Chen dodged to the side, making her miss.

“With your way of eating, are you sure you can fully absorb the Golden Scale Carp’s bloodline? Why not try a different way of eating this time?”

Nie Chen said.
