Chapter 678 - 677: Can We Not Mention That I’m Ugly?

The Divine Dragon hid from Jiang Zuo, who was stunned. 'What's going on?'

'Is he too ugly to be seen?'

But before Jiang Zuo could say anything, a brilliant Golden Light erupted.

The majestic Golden Light stretched for miles, terrifying the Xilin Bat outside so much that it trembled all over. Without a second thought, it fled.

There was no telling if the Divine Dragon would take its anger out on it.

Then, Jiang Zuo heard the Divine Dragon's majestic voice. "Who dares trespass in the Dragon Palace and disturb my slumber?"

The Divine Dragon then reappeared before Jiang Zuo, looking completely different from before.

He was majestic and immense, shimmering with Golden Light. His Dragon Might shook the heavens.

Jiang Zuo couldn't help but say, "You really look the part now. So, tell me, why did you summon me?"

The Divine Dragon stared at Jiang Zuo. "Why have you appeared here?"

Jiang Zuo said calmly, "Didn't you say you were the one who called me?"

The Divine Dragon was somewhat speechless. Finally, he said, "My residence is on Divine Dragon Island. You should have gone there.

Everyone knows my Dragon Palace floats deep beneath the sea, its location ever-changing."

Jiang Zuo looked at the Divine Dragon. "So, your real body is hiding here mainly because it's too ugly to be seen?"

The Divine Dragon's voice turned icy. "Human, you are offending me. Though I am bound by an oath, you could die at any moment."

Jiang Zuo snapped his fingers, and the Little Wild Cat appeared once more.

As soon as the Little Wild Cat appeared, she scurried away from Jiang Zuo, stared at the Divine Dragon, and then charged straight at him.

The Divine Dragon's pupils contracted. His Golden Light actually started to dissipate. He was too close to the Little Wild Cat; this proximity was something he found difficult to handle.

The only thing he could do now was guard his mind.

Meanwhile, the Little Wild Cat crouched opposite the Divine Dragon. 'She sensed that this thing was going to explode. She just didn't know when she'd get to eat it.'

If the Xilin Bat hadn't been far enough away back then, it would have died countless times over.

For a being of its Cultivation to get this close to the Little Wild Cat, it would have simply exploded.

Almost no one below Tier Nine could resist. Of course, there were always a few exceptions, but they were exceedingly rare.

Like Jian Shisan, for example. Or Jiang Zuo.

The Divine Dragon's expression soured. If he were at his peak, he could have held on for a long time, but he had only just awakened and needed time to recover his strength.

He wouldn't be able to last much longer.

Seeing the Divine Dragon's Golden Light begin to waver, the Little Wild Cat grew even quieter. At that moment, Jiang Zuo saw the Chaos emanating from her steadily intensifying.

"Is it because her beastly nature is dormant? Is that why the Chaos is purer?" Jiang Zuo mused aloud.

Then the Little Wild Cat flopped to the ground and fell fast asleep.

The aura of Chaos then reached its peak. Although it couldn't compare to pure Chaos, it was much stronger than before.

The Divine Dragon was already planning to steady himself and escape.

Just then, Jiang Zuo walked over to the Little Wild Cat, grabbed her, and tossed her far into the distance.

Only then did the Divine Dragon recover.

"Can we talk normally now?" Jiang Zuo asked.

The Divine Dragon looked at Jiang Zuo warily. "You're very strong?"

Jiang Zuo didn't answer the question. "That's not important. First, tell me what you want."

The Divine Dragon said, "First, you tell me how you got in."

Jiang Zuo stated calmly, "The Barrier was garbage."

The Divine Dragon: "..."

'In the entire Earth Valley Abyss, no one could break his Barrier, yet this person dared to call it weak?'

In reality, Jiang Zuo couldn't have broken it in a short amount of time. But what did getting in have to do with breaking it?

Then, both of them fell silent.

Finally, the Divine Dragon reverted to his previous form. "You see me now, right? I'm hideous, aren't I?"

Jiang Zuo nodded. "Hideous for a Dragon. But for a Loach, you're not bad."

"You..." The Divine Dragon was furious but couldn't find the words to retort.

After a moment, the Divine Dragon said, "I called you here to help me with something."

Jiang Zuo said, "Does it have to do with you being ugly?"

The Divine Dragon looked at Jiang Zuo, exasperated. "Can you please not mention my ugliness?"

Jiang Zuo nodded. "But before that, you need to bring my wife over."

The Divine Dragon immediately shook his head. "No."

Jiang Zuo's brow furrowed. If he had to weigh Su Qi against the Divine Dragon, he wouldn't even have to think about it.

Su Qi was the most important thing. He needed to find her now. He had come here first precisely to meet up with her sooner and stop her from worrying.

But this Dragon had actually refused. 'Why should I stick around, then?'

Seeing Jiang Zuo's dark expression, the Divine Dragon added, "I can protect her, and I can pass messages to her for you, but she absolutely cannot come here. My business cannot be known by a second person."

They both ignored the Little Wild Cat, who was actually in human form—a cute little girl, at that.

Jiang Zuo thought for a moment and decided that was acceptable.

"Try finding her first," Jiang Zuo said.

The Divine Dragon nodded. "As long as she is within my territory, nothing can escape my eyes. Anyone under my protection will be in no danger."

Then, the Divine Dragon's Golden Light flared, especially in his eyes, which seemed capable of observing the entire world.

Jiang Zuo couldn't help but say, "The Innate Divine Abilities of a Sky Dragon, the Thousand World Pupils. So you're a half-breed."

The Divine Dragon was shocked. "You know so much? But it's probably because I'm a half-breed that I look this way. I was abandoned at birth.

I'm probably the first half-breed of a Sky Dragon and a Divine Dragon."

In reality, a half-breed Dragon wouldn't necessarily look like this. The Divine Dragon's appearance was most likely the result of a genetic mutation.

'Of course, Jiang Zuo was just speculating. He didn't actually know anything about this.

After all, it was a Dragon's private affair, and he didn't really care about it.'

The Divine Dragon was still using his Thousand World Pupils to search for Su Qi. While doing so, he said to Jiang Zuo, "My name is Qian Zhong. And you, human?"

Jiang Zuo said, "I thought your name was Dragon."

Divine Dragon Qian Zhong: "...You knew that was fake, right?"

Jiang Zuo said, "I knew."

Divine Dragon Qian Zhong: "What's your name?"

Jiang Zuo said, "Jiang Zuo. An ordinary person. Got it?"

Divine Dragon Qian Zhong gave Jiang Zuo a meaningful look and finally said, "Can I use that to threaten you?"

Jiang Zuo said nonchalantly, "Suit yourself."

Divine Dragon Qian Zhong: "..."

'Clearly, such a threat was useless. Besides...'

The Divine Dragon glanced at the Little Wild Cat still sleeping in the distance and sighed. 'He didn't even know what that thing was.

To think it could directly affect his emotions. If his Cultivation wasn't decent, he might have just exploded.

It felt as if he could lose control at any moment.'

After a moment, Divine Dragon Qian Zhong said, "I've found her. I'll place a ward of protection on her first."

Before long, the Divine Dragon said, "Alright. Now, what do you want to say to her?"

Jiang Zuo asked, "Can I see her?"

Divine Dragon Qian Zhong nodded. Then, a curtain of water descended from above.

An image of Su Qi then appeared within the water curtain.

And on Su Qi's end, an image of Jiang Zuo appeared right at her feet.

Su Qi had just received the Divine Dragon's notification. Although it had startled her, she accepted it. She was even happier when she heard she could see her husband.

It was just... at her feet.

'If she were wearing a skirt, wouldn't he see everything?'
