This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Blood Dragon, appropriately dressed in a blue and black robe, impatiently waited. He did not appreciate these ants having such a close and intimate relationship with his Xun'er, but he allowed it long enough since he knew it would please her. However, he had allowed it to go long enough, and now was time for them to get to know each other.

As for the so-called recompensation song? These people can only dream about it as long he's here. How could he allow these ants to share the joy of listening to his woman sing? Blood Dragon sneered.

He suddenly sensed she was approaching, so he quickly condensed a mirror before him and checked his appearance. He found a small stain on his horn and swiftly wiped it. Then, Blood Dragon put on his brightest smile.

"Yao'er, it's good to see you." Blood Dragon's eyes shine after seeing her new dress. He controlled himself to hide his happiness. He only wished he could rub in these people's faces, showing them how much special attention she was giving him.

"Lord Blood Dragon," Xun Junyao bowed.

"I've told you many times before that you can call me Ao You."

"In that case, Sir Ao You," Xun Junyao said, her cheeks slightly red.

'She did it — she called me by my name,' Ao Shen thought, trying his hardest to control his excitement. 'I knew I made the wise decision to come here.' That old man kept looking at him disappointedly despite not uttering a word, making him reconsider. Now, he knew he had made the right choice.

Xun Junyao came and sat opposite the blood dragon, who was so happy that he felt like his spirit had flown higher than the Nine Heavens. He looked at her in a daze. In his eyes, she had a human and a dragon form, and his focus was on the dragon. It was the most beautiful dragon he had ever seen in his life.

It had the most magnificent black scale he had ever seen, and its scales were arranged so perfectly that they resembled a work of art from Heaven and Earth itself. Her eyes were purer than the whitest of snow, and her multicolored eyelashes gave her a coquettish spirit that drove him insane. Her horns were perfectly spaced apart, and their white color increased the dragon's nobility and beauty.

Her nine claws were slightly longer than regular female dragons, but they were perfect for the black dragon's slender body. Even her claws were the right amount of sharp: enough to be deadly, but also maintaining her elegance and nobility.

'She's so beautiful, so perfect,' Blood Dragon.

"Sir Ao You, you cannot just stare at a lady like this," Xun Junyao said with a blush." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Sorry about that," Blood Dragon said in embarrassment. He was so enthralled that he forgot his plan of acting more like a sophisticated gentleman. The room was momentarily awkward, so the blood dragon swiftly said: "Your strength is close to the Paragon Realm, right? Well, I brought you gifts." He could tell Xun Junyao's cultivation was 88% Grand Dao Source.

"Lord Blood Dragon, I apologize for hiding it from you," Xun Junyao swiftly said.

"It's fine," Ao You waved his hand. "I understand that a lady like yourself needs to protect yourself. I'm not mad. I'll only be mad if you keep addressing me so informally."

"Lord – I mean, Sir Ao You, thank you for your understanding," Xun Junyao sighed deeply. "I spent so many nights worrying about what you'll think of me, worrying you'll think poorly of me."

"I would never," Blood Dragon swiftly reassured.

'She thought of me? She thought of me!' He was screaming in his internal voice.

"You're so kind," Xun Junyao said with a pure smile. Blood Dragon instantly lost his mind. Luckily, he remembered he was about to show off with his gifts. So, he waved his hand to manifest a few closed wooden boxes. Ao You opened the first, showing a paper with intricate symbols.

"This is a Dragon Protection Talisman that I refined myself. Although it's a one-time-use talisman, it can block a blow from someone with cultivation as high as 95% Grand Dao Source."

Surprise flashed in Xun Junyao's eyes, but she hesitated to take it.

"No need to hesitate," Ao You said as he handed her the box. After a short hesitation, Xun Junyao forced one drop of her blood into the talisman to refine.

"Next time, use soul refinement. I don't like seeing you hurt," Ao You swiftly said. The sight of seeing her bleed made his heart hurt.

"Thank you for caring about me,' Xun Junyao said with a flushed face. Ao You suddenly felt invigorated. He opened another box with a pill that released nine colors.

"The Nine-Colored-Yin Pill," Xun Junyao said in surprise. This pill belongs to the category of Tier 11 Pills, which are valuable because only Paragons can refine them.

"Exactly. With it, you can break the bottlenecks of nurturing a Paragon Soul in quality and quantity," Ao You nodded. There are many bottlenecks to reach the Paragon Realm, and the soul has two.

"Sir, this is too precious."

"Nothing is too precious for you," Blood Dragon said. "And this is not the end." He opened another box.

"Mother Lightning Branch," Xun Junyao said in surprise, as this was a Tier 12 material and another rare kind.

"Correct. Using it should reduce the terrifying effect of the Immemorial Tribulation.' Blood Dragon has never forgotten the fear he experienced during his Paragon Tribulation. Despite spending years of preparation, he barely survived.

"This is the Infinite Samsara Pill; it should temper your Dao Heart to a sufficient level to deal with the Time Washing Heart Tribulation. However, be careful, as you may get lost in the infinite Samsara and never wake up…This is a rare White Luck Good Fortune Stone refined from the luck of countless Empyrean. Don't worry, and there is no backlash.

"This is a Dao Pushing Pill," Ao You sighed after introducing this pill. "It should have helped you increase your cultivation by 2% instantly without any repercussions, but this pill cannot be used to reach 90%, so just use it to reach the Empyrean peak."

A proud look flashed deep in Ao You's eyes after seeing the shocked look on Xun Junyao's face. Then, he proudly continued.

"That's a Primordial Essence Heart; it contains enough energy to train your body to the peak of Tier 11. However, do not, under no circumstance, open the Gate of Flesh before your Immemorial Tribulation, or the difficulty will be one hundred times harsher."

Xun Junyao took a moment to regain her focus: "Sir Ao You, why are all these gifts related to…you know."

"Very astute of you," Ao You chuckled. "That's right. My greatest gift to you is the opportunity to enter the next realm."

"Sir, what about the other? I wouldn't want you to get into trouble?"

Ao You suddenly felt a surge of pride and unlimited power. "What can they do to me even if they wanted to?" he sneered. "And no need to worry; everyone made this decision. The frontier's situation is not ideal, and we need more powerhouses so everyone gets a quota."

"I see," she looked at all the gifts. "I can't believe the lord is so generous."

"Of course," Ao You replied proudly. "One reminded me that you cannot become boundless. The others will not accept such a thing and will interfere in your promotion if you do." Ao You ensured to emphasize to her that it was the others and it had nothing to do with him.

"That's fine by me," Xun Junyao replied without hesitation, making Ao You nod in satisfaction. "So, what do you think? Satisfied with my gift?"

"More than satisfied."

"Then, how about you give a gift in return?"

"What does Sir wish for?" Xun Junyao asked, her face redder than blood. Ao Yun wanted to say a kiss but resisted the urge. He knew he needed to take things slow, or he might ruin everything. "Anything you deem appropriate."

Xun Junyao pondered briefly. Her face showed some kind of internal struggle, but then she bit her teeth as a sign of resolution. She waved her hand to put all the gifts away and manifested a small table with a meat dish.

"This is a dish I've prepared especially for Sir. How…how…how about I feed it to you?' Xun Junyao could not look him in the eyes as she said those words. Moreover, her face was so red that steam might have well been coming out of it.

"No problem," Ao You said without any hesitation. He almost yelled these words — that's how excited he was. So, Xun Junyao slowly fed him. Her hands trembled, a sign that it was her first time doing something so intimate. However, that just made her more adorable to Ao You.

"How about some wine?"

Xun Junyao acquiesced and fed him from the wine bowl. Ao You could not describe the emotions he was currently feeling. Once the first bowl was finished, he asked for the second, and Xun Junyao shyly gave it to him.

"How about a third bowl?" he asked shamelessly. This feeling was too intoxicating, and he could not help himself. It also helped that the food was probably the best he had ever had. However, he could not tell whether it was because of the taste or she was feeding him — probably both.

"No, that's enough. Plus, it's about time."

"Huh, what do you mean by that?' Ao You felt her tone was weird but could not immediately pinpoint how. However, he did not take long for him to find the answer. The blood dragon's face turned ugly as black veins materialized from his back and spread through every part of his body, including his neck and face.

"You…poisoned me?"

"It seems the Deathroot Poison was more potent than I anticipated," Xun Junyao commented. However, she was completely different from before. She was calm, composed, and indifferent. In her current state, people would not instantly notice her beauty but the ruthlessness emanating from her body.
