Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 2027 - 508: Life Is So Difficult (First Update)
"You mean, yesterday you felt someone was secretly observing you?" In the small villa, Gu Yelin sat on the sofa, his long legs propped on the beige footstool. He wore a dark gray home outfit, and in the warm light, his rugged features had a bit more tenderness than usual, adding a touch of elegance to his cold demeanor.
His brows slightly furrowed, deep currents swirling in his dark eyes.
An Yiqing lay in Gu Yelin’s arms, playing with his long fingers. "Hmm, not just me, Xiao Xue felt it too. I asked both of them, and this situation hasn’t happened before. The person in the shadows must be after me. Ah Lin, I have a feeling that person’s strength might be higher than mine, even above yours."
His straight eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of surprise in Gu Yelin’s eyes. Stronger than him, could it be... Breaking Void to Divinity?
"Has there been any movement in the Ancient Martial World lately?" An Yiqing asked.
Gu Yelin shook his head, "No, Breaking Void to Divinity would summon thunder during a breakthrough. If someone did breakthrough, I wouldn’t be unaware."
An Yiqing thought about it and agreed. But if it’s not Breaking Void to Divinity, why couldn’t she sense the person’s location?
Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, Gu Yelin’s arms exerted force, placing her to the side. Immediately after, a cold breeze swept past An Yiqing’s ear, and Gu Yelin was gone.
An Yiqing froze for a moment, sensing that strange aura, her face turned somber.
To think they came to peek at her home!
In a flash, An Yiqing disappeared from where she was, appearing on the villa’s rooftop in the blink of an eye.
On the rooftop, there were two figures. The tall one was Gu Yelin. Under his feet, something that seemed neither like a snake nor not was continuously struggling, occasionally letting out a low growl.
An Yiqing halted her steps, that sound...
Quickening her pace, she swiftly arrived beside Gu Yelin and looked down. The creature was about three meters long with a girth much thicker than a python’s. Its entire body was covered in hard scales, gleaming with a dazzling gold under the night. Two long whiskers on either side of its nose signified its identity.
Looking at the creature being ruthlessly thrashed by Gu Yelin, An Yiqing’s mouth twitched.
The one spying on her turned out to be a Golden Dragon.
"Who sent you here?" Gu Yelin’s voice was icy. This foul dragon spying during the day was one thing, but coming to peek at their villa in the dead of night, what was its intention? Luckily, his wife hadn’t bathed or changed yet; otherwise...
The more Gu Yelin thought, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the harsher he stomped, making the Golden Dragon wail in pain, snot and tears flowing profusely.
An Yiqing, annoyed by the unpleasant howls, rubbed her temples, about to speak. Suddenly, she looked up into the night sky.
Under the deep blue night, silver-white stars lightly dotted the sky. Amid them, one starlight shone a faint red. Gradually, the red glow grew larger, coming closer. Along with the red glow came layers of clouds in the night.
Wherever dragons go, clouds follow, just as wind follows tigers. From ancient times, the Dragon Clan’s journey always involved clouds and mists.
An Yiqing stood on the rooftop, watching the approaching red glow in the sky, a subtle smile emerging in her eyes.
"Young lady, we meet again, huh!" A feminine voice sounded mid-air. "The last time I saw you, you were at the Demi-god Early Stage. I didn’t expect that in just a few months, you’ve broken through to Demigod Peak. As expected of a Chosen One, exceptionally gifted."
An Yiqing smiled at the night, a massive red dragon looming in and out of the clouds. If the Red Dragon removed its illusion now, ordinary people would be dumbfounded by the sight before them.
This dragon, An Yiqing not only knew but had quite an acquaintance with. Back in Jinyin City, when Nan Tian was disfigured by Nan Yang, An Yiqing used the Dragon-Taming Art to summon a Red Dragon to heal her body. It was this Red Dragon that gave her a scale, allowing Nan Tian to recover smoothly.
This kindness, An Yiqing had always remembered.
"Elder Hongye, long time no see." An Yiqing waved respectfully and then pointed to the half-dead Golden Dragon being thrashed by Gu Yelin, raising an eyebrow in inquiry, "Is this guy with you?"
Facing An Yiqing’s meaningful smile and Gu Yelin’s increasingly cold gaze, the Red Dragon chuckled guiltily and glared at the Golden Dragon.
"Old Jin doesn’t understand things, don’t mind him. He doesn’t quite grasp human customs. If there’s anything offensive, young lady, please don’t be mad. I’m called Hongye, considered a young dragon in the Dragon Clan, so young lady, don’t call me old. Erm... This esteemed hero, could you spare him? I’ll make sure to teach him a good lesson when we go back so he won’t dare spy on the young lady again!" The Red Dragon spoke righteously, yet inside, she felt like crying. No wonder this God-Devil Physique has such overwhelming pressure...
Gu Yelin glanced at An Yiqing and seeing her agreement, released his foot. He bent down, lifting the over three-meter-long dragon with one hand, and with a swoosh—flung it right onto Hongye’s back.
"Just this once, next time, don’t blame me for pulling out its dragon tendons!"
Hongye repeatedly thanked them, while Old Jin was flung dizzy, feeling for the first time in life that humans were terrifying.
"Sister Hongye, if there’s anything, come down and talk. It’s tiring to look up like this." An Yiqing smiled sweetly, resembling a harmless young girl.
The big dragon’s body shuddered, and Hongye nodded in agreement.
In the small villa’s living room, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin sat shoulder to shoulder on the main couch, opposite them a woman in a red long dress with short hair and an old man in a dark long robe.
The old man’s face didn’t look too good, his right cheek swollen with green and purple rings around his eyes, and several strands of hair had been pulled out. No need to think, this was Master Gu’s handiwork.
"Sister Hongye, have some tea." An Yiqing poured a cup of tea for Hongye but didn’t even glance at Old Jin Head.
Old Jin Head grimaced, pouting in discontent. This girl holds grudges too much; all he did was steal a few glances at her?
Throwing Old Jin Head a helpless look, Hongye beamed at An Yiqing, "Xiao Qing, do you have anything you want to ask?"
"Was it you spying on me at school today?"
"It was him, not me." Hongye immediately clarified.
"Why were you spying on me?" An Yiqing asked again.
Hongye paused, organizing her words, "We wanted to see what kind of person the Young Master’s master is. Miss Xiao Qing, if there was any offense, please understand. We absolutely had no ill intent."
"Young Master?" An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, a bold guess forming in her mind, "Your Young Master is..."
"It’s the Little Red Snake on Miss Xiao Qing’s disciple’s wrist."
Indeed!
An Yiqing showed a knowing expression, surprising Hongye and Old Jin Head.
"Miss An, you seemed to have known the Young Master’s identity for some time?" Hongye probed.
An Yiqing didn’t respond directly. She slowly sipped a tea, hisfine porcelain cup resting in her hands as she lightly played with it, a gentle smile gracing her jade-like face, "I am the Dragon-Taming Technique Successor."
Hongye and Old Jin Head exchanged a glance; oh right, how did they forget this girl’s identity as the Dragon-Taming Technique Successor? Naturally, she could sense the presence of the Dragon Clan around her.
"Miss An being able to sense the Dragon Clan’s presence in just a few months is indeed quite remarkable. Surely within five years, you should reach the second layer of the Dragon-Taming Art and possess Green Dragon Qi."
An Yiqing only smiled without comment.
Hongye and Old Jin Head assumed she acknowledged her abilities, little did they know An Yiqing had not only entered the second layer but had broken through to the third, already condensing pale purple Dragon Qi—would they tumble off the sofa in shock?
"You two didn’t just come here today to see me, did you?"
"Correct, we wish to take the Young Master back. He has been drifting outside for over fifty years, and our Clan Leader misses him every day." Hongye glanced at Old Jin Head, "Miss An, this is Elder Jin of the Dragon Clan, the Clan Leader’s most trusted person. This time, to ensure the Young Master’s safe return, the Clan Leader specifically sent him and me."
An Yiqing glanced at the dejected-looking Elder Jin, unable to see what made him trustworthy.
Hongye discreetly nudged Old Jin, who was lost in the painful memories of being tormented, startling him, and he jerked up from the sofa.
Hongye covered her face, feeling utterly embarrassed.
