Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl Chapter 67 – Wooing a Woman

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Wooing a Woman

“Well, I apologize, I didn’t tell you when I left earlier. I understand if you got worried- -that was my mistake.”

“Huh, why should I, a princess, worry about you? You’re just a clueless mortal. If you die, you die. Every day countless mortals die in this world. What makes you so special?” Ao Yan replied with a playful smile on her face.

Jiang Xiaobai was at a loss for words. He had never realized Ao Yan could be this harsh.

However, it seemed like she was just playing with him!

Just when the atmosphere was about to grow tense again, Jiang Xiaobai had a flash of inspiration. He quickly pulled out an item and strode toward Ao Yan.

“Hey, look at this. This is what I bought for you outside. Do you think it’s pretty?” Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

Ao Yan gave a light snort, not even bothering to glance at the object in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, and continued to sip her tea.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai decided to put on a thick skin and walked up to offer her a shoulder massage, but Ao Yan looked up suddenly, her eyes flashing with anger.

“Get lost, I don’t want to see you.”

Ao Yan said coldly.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in understanding. He knew that anything he said would be futile at this time. It would take a while for Ao Yan to cool down, so he figured he’d better try again later.

He left the item on the table and stepped out of the yard.

However, as soon as he had left the yard, the frosty atmosphere within dissipated. Ao Yan’s face softened, and she even looked a bit surprised.

“Strange, why do I feel relieved when I see this guy return?” Ao Yan murmured, squinting her eyes.

She understood that this was the feeling of worrying about someone. But why would she worry about Jiang Xiaobai?

With a snort, Ao Yan decided to ignore it and shifted her gaze to the object on the table.

It was a bracelet made from a fragrant type of wood found on the mortal plane. The bracelet was simple and had a small pillar hanging from it.

Jiang Xiaobai saw it when he was shopping in Spring Lake City. At first glance, he thought it would look beautiful on Ao Yan’s wrist.

Without thinking, he bought it right away. As for whether Ao Yan would accept it, Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t considered it. He thought he would just buy it first and think about it later.

Now, Ao Yan was carefully examining the bracelet in her hand. It was delicate and lovely. She subconsciously tried to put it on but hesitated and decided to store it in her storage ring.

Then, with a calm expression, she continued to drink her tea as if nothing had happened.

Occasionally, a faint smile could be seen at the corners of her mouth.

Elsewhere, after dashingly running away from the small courtyard, Jiang Xiaobai went straight to the Dragon Throne Room, where the clan leader Ao Wan was sitting, engrossed in reading a book.

Hearing someone enter, Ao Wan did not even raise his head and casually asked, “Was your trip to the foot of the mountain fun? You finally remembered to come back?”

“Cough, Chief Ao Wan, I have some urgent matters to attend to,” Jiang Xiaobai cleared his throat.

Ao Wan nodded, “Let’s not make a habit of this. This time, because of you,

Yan’er almost tore down Tianyuan City.”

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback, he hadn’t expected Ao Yan to be capable of such a thing.

Ao Wan then continued, “You’re not a child anymore. The Purification Elixer is very important to the Dragon Valley, and currently, you’re the only person who can refine it. It wouldn’t be good if something happened to you.”

“Furthermore, even if you leave the mountain, don’t let anyone know that you can refine the Purification Elixer, otherwise you’ll have endless troubles.” Jiang Xiaobai nodded in acknowledgment and then headed to the pill furnace and began alchemy.

When he returned to Dragon Valley it was around noon. He had been refining the Purification Elixir in the Dragon Throne Room all afternoon before he finally showed signs of fatigue. It wasn’t a pretense, he was genuinely tired.

After running non-stop for such a long time without rest, all he wanted to do now was lay down and get a good sleep.

Feeling a bit worn out, he walked to the door of the small courtyard. As he was about to open the door, the System’s voice resounded in his head.

“Congratulations, host! You’ve triggered a selection!”

“Option one: Cheer up Ao Yan, reward: A Strand of Merit.”

“Option two: Go back and go straight to sleep, reward: A fragment of a Sky Spirit treasure.”

“Option three: Spend the night outside, reward: A fragment of a Sky Spirit treasure.”

Without a second thought, he chose the first option. If he chose either of the other two, he was afraid he would never see Ao Yan again.

Even though he wanted to win over Ao Yan, he still had to switch between kindness and sternness.

Moreover, if he messed up, he had to face it and take responsibility for it!

Immediately, he pushed the door open and walked in, only to find Ao Yan still sitting in the yard under the moonlight, drinking tea. Two trembling maids stood beside her, clearly a bit afraid of Ao Yan.

The weary look on Jiang Xiaobai’s face immediately disappeared, and he quickly walked toward Ao Yan with a smile.

“Why haven’t you rested yet? Have you eaten dinner?” He asked.

Ao Yan merely glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said nothing more, continuing to sip her tea as if she didn’t even know him.

Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat at a loss. He walked over to one of the maids and asked, “Has the princess been sitting here all day without eating anything?”

“Your Highness, ever since the princess found out that you went down the mountain, she has been sitting here drinking tea. We maids have changed the tea pot hundreds of times. Please persuade her to eat, ” the maid replied, lowering her head in distress.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected this!

It seemed that Ao Yan really cared about him!

He felt a warmth rising in his heart. Honestly, he had thought that his relationship with Ao Yan was just amicable at best. But he hadn’t expected it to be like this.

Inevitably, Jiang Xiaobai began to think that he was genuinely falling in love with this woman.

“Did I ask you to talk? Slap yourself a hundred times. Don’t stop until your mouth is swollen.” Ao Yan suddenly said coldly.

The maid who had spoken up sniffled in distress, tears rolling down her cheeks. However, she raised her hand to slap herself.

Jiang Xiaobai rushed over to stop her, grabbing her wrist and looking at Ao

Yan.

“Why are you taking it out on her?” He asked.

“She’s my maid.” Ao Yan looked back at Jiang Xiaobai, her face cold as ice.

Jiang Xiaobai stared back, unexpectedly resisting Ao Yan, “So what? What did she do wrong?”

Seeing this side of Jiang Xiaobai for the first time, Ao Yan was taken aback. This was the first time he had argued back at her, causing a wave of surprise to wash over her.

Just then, Jiang Xiaobai continued, “It’s just a minor issue. Why bother making a girl’s life difficult? Tell you what, I’ll cook for you. I promise it will lighten your mood after eating.”

Immediately after speaking, he chuckled and headed for the kitchen, leaving Ao Yan frowning.

Foundation-building cultivators don’t need to eat; they could live by absorbing the spiritual energy. Whether she ate anything was entirely her own concern. However, she was reminded by Jiang Xiaobai’s words that he was just a mortal a month ago.

She had impulsively brought him here and then, like a caged canary, had trapped him in Dragon Valley.

Suddenly, Ao Yan felt a pang of guilt.

At the same time, she was curious to see how the food prepared by a mortal would compare to the food made by those chefs that had spent hundreds of years perfecting their craft in Dragon Valley..
