Chapter 653 -652: Are There Any Married Male Creatures in the Holy Land

The moment the phantom appeared, the Little Whale went *WHOOSH* and shrank, then *POOF*—it vanished, hiding somewhere unknown.

Meanwhile, Jingyue and Xuanwu broke out in a cold sweat.

Duan Qiao was also at a loss.

This thing that had appeared was ridiculously huge. And why was it a giant dragon?

‘It’s over,’ it thought. ‘I’ve caused a huge mess.’

The main problem was that its aura was so intense, it would definitely startle the Great Demon.

‘I hope the Great Demon remembers all my hard work, even if I haven’t made any great contributions, and doesn’t strike too harshly.’

‘I hope my mistress can protect me.’

Yes, this was a giant dragon. Once its phantom fully formed, even a Holy Beast seemed minuscule before it.

Xuanwu was a little scared, but it still shielded Jingyue and the others. ‘I’m an elder, how can I let the juniors stand in front of me?’

‘I’m not afraid.’

At that moment, the giant dragon looked down at Xuanwu and said, “The Holy Beast Black Tortoise?”

Xuanwu replied nervously, “Yes, that’s me.”

The Golden Giant Dragon sounded surprised. “A female? A pity she’s too small.”

Xuanwu was displeased. ‘I’m clearly several hundred years old. How am I small?’

But it didn’t dare say it out loud. This dragon seemed ferocious.

The appearance of the giant dragon naturally attracted the attention of many people, the first of whom was Silver Armor.

‘A True Dragon’s aura? The Holy Beast Dragon Race? No, it’s not quite a match.’ Afterward, Silver Armor went out to investigate.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was just a phantom. And it was indeed not of the Holy Beast Dragon Race.

Jian Shisan also sensed it and returned instantly. His business here was more or less finished, so his presence was no longer required.

As for that person from yesterday, he had already sent them back.

Even if he hadn’t sent them back, Jian Shisan would have returned anyway, because this aura was coming from the Holy Beast Lake.

That was his junior sister’s territory.

Jiang Zuo sensed it as well. Because the figure was so large, many people saw it, including Su Qi.

Although she couldn’t sense anything specific, the giant dragon was sparkling with golden light, making it impossible to ignore.

Su Qi said, “I think that’s where Elder Xuanwu is.”

Jiang Zuo had noticed too. He then said, “Should we go take a look?”

Su Qi was a little worried. “But…”

Jiang Zuo said, “It’s fine. It just looks like a phantom. I’m sure it’s not dangerous.”

This time, without waiting for Su Qi to say anything else, Jiang Zuo grabbed her and flew straight toward it.

‘Su Qi’s perspective is that of a typical woman; of course she wouldn’t understand as much. But I saw it at a glance.’

‘The breed of this dragon seems a bit familiar.’

Su Qi felt exasperated. ‘My husband is actually flying toward danger on his own initiative. Looks like I’ll have to teach him a lesson when we get back.’

“Don’t fly too close. We should at least confirm it’s not dangerous before we go in any further.

Also, how long can you fly?” Su Qi asked.

Jiang Zuo said, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

By the time Jiang Zuo and Su Qi approached the Holy Beast Lake, Jian Shisan had already appeared before the giant dragon.

Even those old fossils from the Holy Land had come out.

The appearance of this giant dragon had taken them completely by surprise.

Jian Shisan spoke up, “I am Jian Shisan of the Yue Lian Holy Land. May I ask who you are, Elder?”

The dragon replied, “The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth; the named is the mother of the ten thousand things.

My name is Dragon.”

There are many kinds of dragons, and thus many names, such as Spiritual Dragon.

There is also the Holy Beast Dragon Race, whose members are called Holy Dragons.

No matter the dragon, a word is always added before their name, because to them, “Dragon” is not a name but a species.

A Dragon with the sole name “Dragon” would be the mother of all things, or, in other words, the progenitor of all dragons.

Of course, not many people understood this theory.

All they knew was that dragons were extremely powerful.

Jiang Zuo understood, but he also knew this dragon was just blowing smoke.

‘The one true Dragon isn’t this ferocious, nor this ugly.’

Indeed, this Golden Giant Dragon was not as good-looking as other dragons. However, its brilliant golden light and imposing, domineering presence were real, so its somewhat flawed appearance could be overlooked.

Jian Shisan asked, “Then why are you here, Elder Long?”

Almost no one knew of the existence of the progenitor of all dragons; only a few dragons did.

Jiang Zuo had only found out by chance, let alone someone like Jian Shisan.

Thus, the Golden Giant Dragon’s bragging was merely for its own satisfaction, since no one would understand anyway.

The Golden Giant Dragon looked at Jian Shisan and said, “I should be the one questioning you! I was sleeping soundly. Why did you steal my Dragon Bead?”

Jian Shisan was taken aback. ‘Steal its Dragon Bead?’

Yue Xi and the others were also surprised. Who stole it?

Hiding far in the distance, Su Qi and Jiang Zuo glanced at each other.

Su Qi asked, “Was it Duan Qiao?”

Jiang Zuo shrugged. “Heaven knows.”

Needless to say, it was almost certainly Duan Qiao.

At this, everyone turned to look at Xuanwu, Jingyue, and the others.

Duan Qiao didn’t dare to show itself.

Jingyue said awkwardly, “We were just fishing, and we accidentally hooked Elder Long. Heh heh, what an unfortunate coincidence.”

Jian Shisan: “…”

Yue Xi: “…”

Everyone else: “…”

So, what exactly had their Saintess done?

But when all was said and done, it was still their Holy Land’s fault.

Jian Shisan had no choice but to say, “The Saintess is still young and doesn’t know any better. I hope Elder Long won’t hold it against her.

If you don’t mind, Elder Long, I am willing to personally return the Dragon Bead for you.”

The Golden Giant Dragon shook its head. “I don’t particularly care about one Dragon Bead, but since you’ve disturbed my slumber, the Holy Land must agree to one condition of mine.”

Jian Shisan frowned and looked over at the old fossils.

After all, they were the ones in charge of the Holy Land.

They exchanged a look and nodded at Jian Shisan.

There was nothing to be done. Their own Saintess had done something foolish, and they had no choice but to foot the bill.

This dragon was being relatively reasonable. If it weren’t, a fight would bring no benefit to the Holy Land.

Didn’t they hear the Holy Land’s strongest, Jian Shisan, address it as an elder?

Aside from the Holy Land’s hidden trump cards, Jian Shisan was its strongest member.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had Jian Shisan be the one to approach it.

“Please state your condition, Elder,” Jian Shisan said.

The Golden Giant Dragon looked at Jian Shisan and asked, “Do you have a partner?”

Jian Shisan was stunned by the question.

It wasn’t just him; everyone else was stunned as well.

The most concerned, naturally, was Yue Xi.

Her mind raced with possibilities. ‘Is this dragon planning to marry its daughter to my senior brother?’

‘If that’s really the case, I’ll have to step in and stop it.’

‘If it comes to a fight, so be it. The Holy Land isn’t afraid of it.’

Although Jian Shisan was surprised, he didn’t overthink it. He shook his head. “I do not.”

Hearing this answer, the Golden Giant Dragon seemed somewhat dejected, as if this wasn’t the answer it was looking for.

Then, it reluctantly asked, “Well then, are there any male creatures here who already have a partner?”

Now, everyone was truly baffled. What on earth was this dragon trying to do?

‘A male creature who already has a partner?’

Hearing this question, Jian Shisan couldn’t help but look toward Jiang Zuo, who was hiding in the distance.

Then, everyone’s gaze followed Jian Shisan’s, turning toward Jiang Zuo.

Oh, right. That ordinary man had a partner; he had even married the Holy Land’s Candidacy Saintess.

That was quite extraordinary in itself.

Jiang Zuo was dumbfounded. “…”

‘Why are they looking at me? Is being married that rare?’

Compared to Jiang Zuo, Su Qi was far more concerned. ‘What are these people planning to do?’
