Chapter 1308 - 27: The Wang Family Unleashes Its Ultimate Weapon

Purely in terms of raw strength, she was of course still a notch weaker than that other Primordial Water Cyan Dragon.

But she was no longer the wild Fierce Beast she’d been back in the day—now she was a pampered, domesticated Spirit Beast with loving parents. With Wang Shouzhe’s personality, how could he possibly send his own daughter into battle streaking?

Decades ago, he’d already gathered the Materials and specially invited the Purple Mansion Artifact Refiner from the Gongye Family to custom-forge a Top-Grade Purple Mansion Treasure for Wang Lilong.

It was the Heart-Protecting Breastplate Wang Lilong was now wearing. Not only could it protect her Reverse Scale, it also provided a certain degree of power boost to her Divine Techniques—extremely practical.

According to Wang Lilong’s request, this breastplate was refined into pure gold. It gleamed brilliantly, light flowing over it in the sun, inscriptions flashing—it was downright flashy.

Besides that, a bead full of Dao aura hovered above her head. The bead spun round and round, streams of Spiritual Qi flowing out of it as if money were no object, pouring into her body.

This bead, naturally, was the "Dao Spirit Pearl" obtained from the new recruit training camp.

Liua Ruolan, knowing that Wang Lilong would be coming to the Great Wilderness Marsh, had deliberately lent this treasure to her for use.

It was precisely by relying on this Exotic Treasure, plus the Purple Mansion Treasure’s boost, that Wang Lilong could fight that Tier Eight Primordial Water Cyan Dragon on equal footing, locked in stalemate for a long time without falling into disadvantage.

"Awoo awoo~~~ Wang Lilong, you disgrace to the Dragon Race! Traitor!" After fighting long without result, the Tier Eight Primordial Water Cyan Dragon roared in fury, "As a great Primordial Water Cyan Dragon, you’ve betrayed Ancestor Grandpa’s expectations—you actually defected to humans and even recognize a thief as father!"

"Ptui~" Wang Lilong shot back, cursing, "Ao Longtian, what the hell are you. This young lady grew up with no father and no mother, relying on my own ability. This young lady will recognize whoever I damn well please as parents—since when is it your turn to interfere? You’re just some bumpkin dragon who only knows how to throw your weight around in the Great Wilderness Marsh, what the hell do you understand!"

"Awoo awoo~ you’ll be the death of me." Ao Longtian howled in rage, "If you’ve got guts, stop using that bead and see if I don’t give you the beating of your life!"

"Idiot, that’s the ’Dao Spirit Pearl’ my mother bestowed on me. Our Clan Academy teacher said the biggest difference between intelligent beings and beasts is that we know how to use tools." Wang Lilong retorted, "If you’ve got guts, suppress your Realm down to Tier Seven and then fight me—see if this young lady doesn’t beat the shit out of you!"

The two dragons fought and cursed as they went; thunderclouds instantly rolled across the sky, rain poured without end, and from time to time bolts of lightning mixed in. The immense commotion made the weather within several dozen li around them wildly unstable.

And while the two dragons were tearing into each other, just over ten li away from their battlefield—

On a rise at the edge of the Great Wilderness Marsh, a tall, slender young man was standing at the gate of the [Great Wilderness Marsh Joint Development Department]’s marsh office, together with other staff, watching the situation within the marsh from afar.

The young man was strikingly handsome, with a calm, steady presence. His immaculate long white robe, perfectly tailored, only set off his temperament further—elegant, otherworldly, with extraordinary poise.

This youth was, of course, Wang Anxin.

After several decades, Wang Anxin had also grown into a composed, capable powerhouse who could hold the fort on his own.

As a Great Celestial Pride of the Wang Family’s second tier, at eighty years old he already had Cultivation at the Fifth-Layer of Celestial Human Realm. Though still slightly inferior to Wang Liyao in her prime, he was no worse than the Great Celestial Prides of those Second and Third-Grade Noble Families.

It was only that the Wang Family had become increasingly low-key over these years; otherwise, with his strength, if he followed his grandaunt Wang Liyao’s example and went to the Upper Capital City for a Great Celestial Pride trial of blades, he could very likely blast right through that so-called "Top Ten Outstanding Youth" ranking.

Of course, the main reason was that the Wang Family was crawling with monsters inside, especially among his peers where there was also Brother Seven, Wang Anye. In comparison, Wang Anxin naturally felt himself quite mediocre.

He’d finally managed to have a son, Wang Ningxi, only for the boy to be so stupid that he accidentally cultivated himself into a waste during training, making the clan and elders worry themselves sick.

Alas~ this life of Wang Anxin’s could only be so ordinary; in the future he could at best casually find a Divine Techniques inheritance and muddle along as a Divine Power Zhenren or something.

"Young Master An Xin, please think of something, yeah?" said Dugu Jinghong, the supervisor in charge of the Desolate Marsh reclamation, his expression worried. "Ever since Miss Lilong came, we don’t have to worry about Safety for the moment, but she and that Ao Longtian are brawling every two or three days. Every time they kick up a huge commotion, the Primordial Qi in the area becomes wildly unstable. This is way too disruptive to our work."

Originally the Primordial Water Cyan Dragon Race only came by occasionally to harass them.

But Miss Lilong’s temper was way too explosive. The moment she arrived she went head-on against that Ao Longtian. And now, dragon fights had basically become routine.

The advance team for the Desolate Marsh reclamation had spread out a huge operation. The hired personnel and machinery burned money every single day; every day’s delay meant quite a loss.

Fortunately, both sides now held some scruples and didn’t want to blow things up further. So although Wang Lilong and Ao Longtian fought fiercely, the nearby hired workers and commonfolk weren’t affected—they just couldn’t start work for the time being.

"How about you all submit a joint memorial?" Wang Anxin was rather helpless as well.

Wang Lilong was his grandaunt, and her temper had been fiery ever since she was little. There were hardly a few people in the entire Wang Family who could talk her down.

He, Wang Anxin, certainly couldn’t.

She, this ’elder’, had been the Demon King of Chaos in the Clan Academy for decades. On the day she finally graduated, all the teachers of the Academy were moved to tears, and even held a special farewell party for her.
