Chapter 15: She’s Dead!

Qi Han’s smile faded slightly as he casually did some finger calculations.

Oh? The “boss” who invited him turned out to be the number one figure in Dragon’s business world—the Ninth Lord, Jiang Beiting!

But when he tried to dig deeper into Jiang Beiting’s background, his mind went blank.

Interesting~ For someone whose past he can’t calculate, this person’s fate is unusual!

The eldest disciple stepped forward to remind him, “Master, this step isn’t in our itinerary!”

Qi Han signaled for silence and smiled at the bodyguards, saying, “Since it’s the gracious invitation of Ninth Lord Jiang, pleased to meet you! Lead the way!”

The bodyguards exchanged glances.

No wonder this international occult celebrity has fans all over the world! Even without them saying who their boss was, this big shot figured it out already!

“Mr. Qi, please!”

The bodyguards respectfully escorted Qi Han to the VIP room.

Qi Han brought only two capable disciples with him, the others waited at the airport.

As soon as the VIP room door opened…

The tall figure of a man by the floor-to-ceiling window immediately caught the attention of the grand occult master.

Qi Han furrowed his brows slightly.

No matter how many people he had met in this world, he had never sensed such a powerful aura!

How to describe Jiang Beiting in the eyes of this old fox? — This person is neither impure nor mundane, utterly transcendent!

The old fox’s eyes narrowed instinctively, on alert.

Jiang Beiting turned around and locked eyes with Qi Han, who was about ten meters away, his thin lips lifting faintly: “You’ve come.”

But his abdomen released an unseen majestic dragon’s roar: “Filthy beast!”

Hearing the dragon’s roar, Qi Han narrowed his eyes deeply.

This guy, surprisingly is…

“You all, fall back!”

Two disciples, though confused, could only timidly obey.

The bodyguards, understanding the situation, left and quietly closed the door behind them.

Only the two tall men remained in the VIP room. They approached each other and stood still about a meter apart.

Qi Han was the first to speak softly, “I knew there would be trouble after you slipped up while drunk last time! Tsk tsk… that was fast.”

Jiang Beiting snorted coldly, “Thanks to you, this prince has crossed two worlds chasing you for twenty-eight years.”

Qi Han’s eyes darkened with displeasure, “Don’t keep calling me ‘filthy beast.’ I am a pure-blooded fox spirit!”

After the sharp words, a strange light suddenly flashed in their pupils—one pair vertical slits, the other red eyes.

They both stood still, and in an unknown realm of emptiness, golden dragon and nine-tailed fox spirit avatars fiercely clashed!

Five minutes, nine rounds later, the fox was slightly defeated, swept to the ground by the golden dragon’s tail swipe.

Returning to their physical forms, Qi Han staggered slightly and laughed wryly, “The fox fallen from grace, bullied by a child~”

Jiang Beiting abruptly grabbed Qi Han by the collar, “You old filthy beast! Do you want me to cut you down here, or obediently submit and come back with me to Lingqi Continent?”

Old filthy beast? The insults only got worse!

Two dark flames flickered in Qi Han’s eyes, “Prince Qingyuan, don’t be arrogant at your age. This isn’t Lingqi Continent, no matter how strong your spiritual power, you can’t fully use it here.”

“Hmph, are you sure?”

Jiang Beiting suddenly tightened his grip, and the sharp spiritual energy cut across Qi Han’s body like a scorching dagger.

Qi Han resisted with his own spiritual power but couldn’t withstand the dragon god’s naturally powerful attack. His fox tail suddenly burst out from behind his robe with a “biu~” sound!

Jiang Beiting threatened again, “Even if you can’t use all your power, I can still ruin your reputation and make you an outcast! Not even your bones will be left!”

Qi Han’s cunning eyes suddenly glinted, “Everyone calm down. Have you ever wondered why the dragon god has so many war gods and generals but didn’t send them, and instead sent you, a newlywed prince, to catch me?”

Jiang Beiting’s expression grew serious, “I am the prince of the Divine Dragon Clan, this is my responsibility to Lingqi Continent!”

“Responsibility, huh? What about your responsibility to that little bird?”

“Shut up! You filthy beast, how dare you slander my Crown Princess!”

“Oh right, the noble Crown Princess… she’s dead. Did you know?”

“!!”

Jiang Beiting’s whole body trembled, his eyes fierce as if he could crush the person before him in an instant. “Say that one more time, I dare you!”

Qi Han’s tone was calm and unhurried. “The Divine Bird belongs to the demon clan. In the eyes of the Dragon God, it’s just as lowly and base as our fox clan! But because of your favor, Prince, she leapt up the Dragon Gate in one go!

You even declared you wouldn’t marry anyone else, bringing shame to all the female dragons, including the Dragon God himself. Do you really think the Dragon God will let that little bird go?”

Hearing this, Jiang Beiting suddenly shuddered for no reason, the color draining halfway from his face.

No… it can’t be…

How could the Mother God…

Qi Han then unleashed his trump card again: “The artifact that helped me hide my spiritual power was given by your Mother God, the Dragon God. As for its purpose, I won’t say more. Instead of wasting time with me here, you’d better go see if that little bird’s grave has already grown grass.”

As Qi Han finished speaking, Jiang Beiting threw a blazing fist forward!

The elder of the Fire Mystical Sect suddenly fell to the ground, his delicate face turning pale.

Jiang Beiting still wasn’t satisfied, radiating killing intent. “Come out!”

A roar of dragons suddenly rose. Two trembling subordinates slipped through the door crack. “P-Prince…”

“Tell me! Is what that old filthy beast said true?”

The furious dragon roar carried the power of earth-shattering force, the surrounding air trembling chaotically.

The subordinates cowered flat on the ground.

One risked speaking: “Before we left, His Majesty the Dragon God did order us to… to delay as much as possible, until after the Crown Princess gave birth to the dragon egg… beyond that, we know nothing!”

Jiang Beiting’s vertical pupils lost focus for a moment.

The old fox took advantage of his brief distraction to flee immediately, the echo lingering in the VIP lounge: “Prince Qingyuan, better go burn some incense for your Crown Princess! Farewell forever!”

Hearing the taunt, dragon scales suddenly appeared all over Jiang Beiting’s body beneath his suit.

The two subordinates felt his unusual aura and trembled, begging for mercy: “Your highness, although we followed orders, we guarantee there was absolutely no intentional delay in the investigation of the fox demon!”

Jiang Beiting gritted his teeth and said clearly, “Return to Lingqi Continent immediately!”

“Your highness, if you go back now, that old fox demon might…”

“Enough!”

In this world, nothing is more important than Ah Ying’s safety!

But traveling through requires activating the artifact—the Ten-Thousand Worlds Star Astrolabe. He needed to assign someone here to guard the artifact carefully to prevent any accidents.

Although what happened in the car made him not want to see Lu Yunsheng, there was no other choice right now. Besides her, no one else could handle this matter for him.

—

Lu Yunsheng had just finished ordering the engagement ring and originally planned to catch that evil cultivator at Dongqing Temple who alters people’s fate, to accumulate merit for her grandmother.

But then she received Jiang Beiting’s order—”Return to the Jiang family within ten minutes. There are things to discuss!”

“???”

Lu Yunsheng thought to herself, “You’d better have something important!”

She got into the Jiang family car, and upon returning to the Jiang family villa, she went straight upstairs to the study.

“Knock knock knock—”

At the moment she knocked, Lu Yunsheng unexpectedly noticed an unusual aura of spiritual energy swirling around the doorframe!

Could this be…? A barrier???

At this moment, Jiang Beiting’s deep, textured voice came from inside—”Come in.”
