In terms of attire, they never had a fixed style, sometimes dressing simply and elegantly, other times dazzling and charming. Moreover, it was even more unpredictable with someone like Nan Lingsha and Nan Yuso, who were ‘One Soul Dual Body’, and not simply changing personalities after a sleep. One moment you might be arguing with Nan Yuso, and the next second Nan Lingsha could be looking at you as if you were an idiot, making the whole debate dull and tasteless.

Therefore, as Zhu Minglang looked at the two sisters, he couldn’t for the life of him tell who had agreed or even who had said okay. Zhu Minglang couldn’t remember.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter; it’s just an empty, non-binding marriage promise,” Zhu Minglang said.

Two years later.

Let Meng Bingci find them first.

Even if she did find them, by that time, his strength would not be something they could constrain if they wished.

By then, the deed would already be done, and who knows, there might even be a child. With Meng Bingci’s high martial arts skills, what could she possibly do to him then!

“What marriage promise?”

“Uh… you know nothing about it, so what did you agree to?” Zhu Minglang demanded.

“I just want to defeat Wen Lingfei,” was the reply.

Zhu Minglang took a sharp breath, his face freezing over.

Loved to fight and always had that inscrutable air of ‘I’m the number one fairy in the world’…

Undoubtedly, it was Nan Lingsha!

“Miss Xinghua, could you please take your time explaining it to Miss Lingsha?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“And who was that woman just now, with the high cultivation base?” Nan Lingsha pressed on.

Looking into the fervent light twinkling within Nan Lingsha’s tranquil eyes, Zhu Minglang felt utterly overwhelmed.

Nan Lingsha wouldn’t be thinking of defeating Meng Bingci together, would she?

As for what realm Meng Bingci’s cultivation base was, Zhu Minglang had no idea…

Please, my little artist sister-in-law, stay calm.

Regardless, the second piece of the Ancient Lantern Jade was now in his hands.

He took out the piece of Ancient Lantern Jade he had obtained from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, and placing it beside the newly acquired jade, confirmed that these two pieces were indeed two halves of a whole, fitting together perfectly at the seam.

Temporarily turning the jade into a bracelet, he placed it on Li Xinghua’s fair wrist. He believed that with some more nurturing, Li Yunzi’s soul would gradually recover.

Who knows, there might even be additional surprises.

Following the plan set by Wu Feng, Zhu Minglang led the four ladies towards Three Forks City. Hao Ye was already waiting there with Fang Niannian.

Since Wen Lingfei was a princess and naturally also a ruler of Miao Kingdom, Zhu Minglang did not want to entangle further with her. Thus, he also disguised himself and followed a merchant caravan, slowly leaving in a horse carriage, heading towards the direction of the Neon Sea.

The destination was Runyu City, where the third piece of Ancient Lantern Jade was located. Now that he had two pieces, and Li Yunzi’s spirit was gradually healing, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer as anxious and uneasy as before, especially since obtaining this third piece of Ancient Lantern Jade seemed far less difficult than stealing from the Sword Sect of Miao Mountain or kidnapping the Princess of Miao Kingdom.

Having passed Three Forks City and purchased a stable Beast Dragon Carriage, under Hao Ye’s guidance, they were now moving away from the Capital of Miao Kingdom…

The journey was leisurely, taking in the scenery along the way, Zhu Minglang inadvertently discovered that Lei Cang Violent Dragon had actually advanced on its own!

Upon their arrival at a post station, a light burst forth in Zhu Minglang’s Spirit Realm, emanating from Big Black Tooth’s scales while it was still sound asleep. Having just eaten its fill, it slept like a pig, dead to the world, completely unaware that it was shedding its old form and advancing!

“Oh???”

When it woke up, Lei Cang Violent Dragon was panicked to find that its scales had changed, its muscles had changed, its build had changed, even its Dragon Horns had altered, and due to the unfamiliarity with its post-advance state, it stumbled and fell several times in the Spirit Realm!

So, it had the ability to become stronger just by sleeping???

The Lei Cang Violent Dragon roared with joy, as if catching up to Little White’s cultivation base was now within easy reach.

“It’s probably the effect of the Spiritual Spring Realm,” Zhu Minglang said.

Big Black Tooth had already tasted the Strengthening Spirit Fund before, and in fact, Zhu Minglang had never stopped caring for the several dragons all along the way. With ample funds, the moment the dragon pets digested their food, he immediately replenished them with new Strengthening Spirit Fund, and needless to say, the fodder as well—it was definitely the best available.

Consuming Spiritual Objects inside, applying Spiritual Energy outside, the effects were indeed significant. Big Black Tooth had naturally advanced to Lord Level!

“If we can awaken the Inscription Power of the Molten Fire Heavy Armor, Big Black Tooth should be very brave!”

The Molten Fire Heavy Armor was personally forged by Zhu Heavenly Officer, and this armor actually had much room for improvement, especially the inscriptions inlaid on it, which Zhu Minglang had not yet unlocked.

On one hand, Big Black Tooth’s cultivation base was not high enough, and overly powerful inscriptions might overburden it, on the other hand, Zhu Minglang also hadn’t found the appropriate Melting Fire Crystal to replenish it, as inscriptions were consumables.

“Once your cultivation is more stable, we’ll find a way to awaken the inscriptions on the Molten Fire Armor, so you can even withstand the attacks of a Monarch Level Dragon Beast,” Zhu Minglang was very satisfied.

If the cultivation base isn’t enough, equipment can make up for it.

Big Black Tooth’s cultivation base was naturally hard to compare with a few other dragons with extraordinary talents, but with a Dragon Shepherd like himself who excelled in casting art, as long as he found a suitable method to improve the Dragon Armor, Big Black Tooth could still shine on its own!

The inner court of Zhu Gate is revered precisely because an armor forged there can even enhance the strength of a Dragon Beast by an entire major level!

Zhu Heavenly Officer left many blanks in the forging of this Violent Dragon Heavy Armor, requiring Zhu Minglang to adjust and enhance it according to the changes in Big Black Tooth’s cultivation base and attributes. Of course, the most important thing is the injection of inscriptions. If he can inject a second or even third inscription, it is not impossible to challenge across a major level!

“Little Uncle-Master, Little Uncle-Master, I just asked those merchants, and they said Runyu City is in this direction, but Runyu City is very complicated…” Hao Ye hurriedly approached the carriage but didn’t see Zhu Minglang.

At that moment, the curtains of the carriage were gently lifted, and Li Xinghua stepped out, wanting to breathe some fresh air.

Hao Ye promptly greeted her with a bow and asked, “Miss Nan, where is Little Uncle-Master?”

“Who are you?” Li Xinghua had never seen Hao Ye before, knowing only that someone had been escorting them in recent days.

Ever since leaving the capital, Wen Lingfei had issued orders to obstruct their journey in every major city.

Therefore, for the most part, they traveled inside the carriage, and even when they entered an inn, they would go in through the back door directly to their rooms, while Hao Ye was responsible for taking care of the carriage.

Up to now, Hao Ye still didn’t know there were actually two young ladies inside the carriage.

“I am Hao Ye, a Cloud Wanderer Sword Master from the Yaoshan Sword Sect, we’ve met before at the Miao Mountain Sword Sect exchange,” Hao Ye was straightforward and didn’t think too much, assuming the painter Miss just didn’t remember him, so he reintroduced himself.

Li Xinghua simply nodded, not saying much more.

Even Zhu Minglang himself couldn’t tell them apart, so naturally, he couldn’t expect someone who had only recently arrived to understand.
