One night passed without a word, and the team did not encounter any attacks from thieves or monsters. As for the bet between Daji and Qin Jun, it was forgotten by everyone. In their eyes, it was just a game between a couple, and even if Qin Jun lost, Daji wouldn't do anything to him.
The team continued to move forward, and ahead was the territory of the Canglan Kingdom, beyond which lay the Southern Zhuo Dynasty.
In the early morning, Qin Jun walked with the team and asked Jia Xun who was walking beside him, "Speaking of which, not long ago, the Canglan Kingdom suffered a big loss. Will they try to stop or attack us?"
Jia Xun pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "They probably won't do that. If they did, in the future, when the Canglan Kingdom's team passes through the Qianyue Kingdom, they would receive the same treatment. The Emperor of Canglan wouldn't be so foolish. Of course, it doesn't rule out that some officials or cultivators might want to seek revenge for their country."
"I hope there are such angry cultivators."
Qin Jun secretly hoped. In order to level up as a cultivator, the other party must first have the intention to kill Qin Jun. Otherwise, Qin Jun would become a mad killer, and his level would rise rapidly.
"Roar—"
At that moment, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly came from the sky, with a penetrating force that made all the beasts feel awe.
Everyone looked up, then their mouths fell open, showing expressions of shock and disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
Even Qin Jun was wide-eyed. In the sky, a white dragon was circling, its majestic dragon body reflecting a metallic texture under the sunlight. Its head was like a camel, its horns like a deer, its eyes like a rabbit, its ears like a cow, its neck like a snake, its belly like a mirage, its scales like a carp, its claws like an eagle, and its paws like a tiger. The dragon's occasional roar shook the heavens and the earth.
"A real dragon... This is not something that Western fat dragons or big lizards can compare to..."
Qin Jun murmured as he looked at the white dragon in the sky, his heart beating faster. If he guessed correctly, that white dragon was the Dragon Maiden.
The others were excited and started discussing:
"That's a dragon! I never thought I'd see a live one. Am I seeing things?"
"My goodness, the white dragon has appeared. So the dragon race really exists!"
"What a handsome divine dragon!"
"It's really a dragon..."
Even the five members of the Ye Xuan group were in a daze. For the small kingdom, dragons belonged to the legendary divine beasts.
The Xiong Tian Dog, the Cang Jun Wolf, and Fa Hai and Daji frowned, while Tai Bai Jin Xing had a mysterious and inscrutable smile on his face, glancing at Qin Jun discreetly.
Jia Xun and the other guards all knelt down, kowtowing to the white dragon in the sky, leaving Qin Jun speechless. They were truly ignorant.
At the same time, many cities in the Canglan Kingdom could hear the dragon's roar, making the entire kingdom seem like a boiling pot. Was the appearance of the dragon a sign that the Canglan Kingdom was going to rise?
Unfortunately, they were thinking too much!
"Ah! The divine dragon is flying towards us!"
A guard exclaimed, and everyone became nervous. The white dragon descended, and its immense dragon might made everyone below the Golden Core realm kneel down involuntarily. Even the Ye Xuan group couldn't resist.
Seeing the white dragon getting closer, Qin Jun quickly walked to the front of everyone, causing them to be puzzled.
What was he trying to do?
"Your Highness, kneel down quickly, don't provoke the divine dragon!"
Jia Xun urgently warned. By now, he had already regarded Qin Jun as the hope for the future of the Qianyue Kingdom and naturally didn't want to see him perish under the dragon's claws.
However, Qin Jun remained unmoved and instead stared directly at the white dragon, causing Jia Xun, Qin Yun, and the others to break out in a cold sweat.
"Is this guy crazy?"
Yang Lan thought to himself with wide eyes, and Ye Xuan, Zong Yan, Mu Rong Xuan, and Zhu Yan Qing also had the same thought.
At this moment, Daji, the Xiong Tian Dog, the Cang Jun Wolf, Fa Hai, and Tai Bai Jin Xing all walked behind Qin Jun. Their six figures appeared so majestic and towering in the eyes of the others, exuding an air of disdain for the world.
This scene was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.
"I seem to have seen the Emperor Taizu..."
Jia Xun murmured to himself, looking at Qin Jun and the others, he could feel a sense of dominance that surpassed the Southern Meng and Qian Emperors, comparable to the Emperor Taizu of the past.
Ignoring the expressions of everyone behind him, Qin Jun looked at the approaching white dragon and said with a smile, "Daji, are you ready to admit defeat?"
"Admit defeat?" A look of disbelief flashed in Daji's charming face as she suddenly remembered the bet she had with Qin Jun last night.
She was instantly moved, her eyes showing an incredulous expression.
"Roar—"
The white dragon let out a long roar, followed by a burst of intense light that made it impossible to look directly at it. Within the intense light, the dragon's body began to shrink and soon transformed into a delicate and exquisite human figure. As the intense light dissipated, a girl in a white sleeve dress was revealed.
Although her three thousand green strands of hair fluttered, her flawless and perfect face was full of excitement. Her cherry-red lips were slightly open, and her sapphire-blue eyes blinked, exuding a thousand charms. The white dress was adorned with scales, and as she descended from the sky, she seemed like a celestial being.
"Qin Jun, big brother!"
The stunning girl, who had transformed from the white dragon, exclaimed excitedly and then flew directly into Qin Jun's arms. Everyone was left speechless at this sight.
Seeing her, Qin Jun finally realized why the system had said that he had a connection with the Dragon Maiden.
It turned out that when Qin Jun was ten years old in his previous life, he had met a very beautiful girl in the streets. At that time, the girl really wanted to eat candied haws but had no money, so she could only look at them longingly. The young Qin Jun was generous and bought all the candied haws and gave them to her, thus forming a bond between them.
Since then, every time Qin Jun went out to play, he would always meet this girl, but the young him didn't think too much about it and would always generously treat her to delicious food.
According to the thoughts of Xiaoxin at that time, this girl was very beautiful, and he planned to marry her in the future. Well, that's just so innocent!
Unfortunately, the two only played together for a month, and the girl never appeared again. As time passed, Xiaoxin almost forgot about the matter.
"Damn it! Is this even possible?"
Xiaoxin exclaimed in his heart. Did the system already know that he would end up serving this useless third prince?
"In fact, the host was attached to his body when this body was born, but due to the consumption of soul power during the crossing, the host can only take over after the consciousness of this body dissipates. Perhaps the host only felt that the crossing took a few seconds, but in reality, a long time has passed. In a sense, the host and the previous owner are one entity with dual consciousness."
Split personality?
Xiaoxin was shocked. No wonder the dragon girl could meet him in advance. It turns out it was all calculated by the system.
Wait, doesn't that mean if the previous owner never dies, he won't be able to take over?
In that case, he should thank Quan Yu?
"Furthermore, the consciousness of the gods and demons in the system's memory is not as the host guessed. They did not become the original inhabitants of this world. Most of the gods and demons suddenly appeared, and then the system implanted them with memories belonging to this world. Their identities all have one thing in common, which is that no one can verify their identities." The system revealed more information.
"When the host's realm is higher, the time to summon gods and demons will not be just one day, and they may even be summoned on the spot!"
