Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 56 -

The beauty lying on the bed was none other than the daughter of the Master of the Human Institute, Tuoba Jiao!

"Sister Yao, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for so long."

Sensing something, Tuoba Jiao slowly opened her eyes and sat up to look at Long Chen. In an instant, their eyes met. Long Chen’s breath hitched, his nerves stretching taut.

"Who are you?!" Tuoba Jiao snapped to full alertness, grabbing the quilt to cover herself as she glared at him, her beautiful eyes wide with fury and alarm.

Long Chen’s heart pounded wildly, and his scalp tingled. He had never expected to find himself in such a situation, but now that it had happened, there was no escaping it.

"I am the master of this room! To be precise, the master of this West Room!" Long Chen did his best to remain calm, staring back at her as he countered, "More importantly, why are you sleeping in my bed? Who are you?"

At his words, Tuoba Jiao froze, staring at him in disbelief. "You say you’re the master of the West Room?"

"That’s right! Chen Yao let me stay in the West Room temporarily, but she never mentioned any woman was living here," Long Chen said, full of righteous confidence.

"Sister Yao actually let you stay in her courtyard?" Tuoba Jiao was stunned for a moment before she burst into a furious laugh. "Even if everything you say is true, I still can’t spare you!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Tuoba Jiao raised her slender, jade-like hand and made a grabbing motion at Long Chen from across the room. Instantly, it felt as though an invisible hand had seized Long Chen’s neck, dragging him forward, his feet scraping against the floor.

With a thud, Long Chen was dragged right in front of Tuoba Jiao, her delicate hand now clamped around his throat.

A War Sect! Long Chen’s heart sank.

After Chu Lingjun and Shangguan Pojun, this was the third person around eighteen or nineteen years old he had met who was in the War Ancestor Realm. Shangguan Ming and Chen Yao were both over twenty, but their innate talent was simply no match for the young woman before him!

The Martial Ancestor truly is the cradle of geniuses for a ten-thousand-mile radius!

"Boy, I don’t care who you are. You only need to know that the one who kills you is named Tuoba Jiao!" Tuoba Jiao said coldly, her gaze locked on Long Chen. "I, Tuoba Jiao, am pure and chaste. Only Sister Yao is allowed to see my body. Even though you stumbled upon me by accident, I cannot spare your life! If you’re not content with this, then come find me as a ghost. I don’t mind killing you a second time!"

Tuoba Jiao... Tuoba? The same surname as the Master of the Human Institute?

Long Chen’s pupils contracted. At this moment between life and death, as if guided by a phantom force, he raised both hands and fiercely grabbed Tuoba Jiao’s chest. The action elicited a piercing scream from Tuoba Jiao, who instinctively let him go.

Long Chen had no time to savor the wonderful softness. He immediately executed the Wind Control Skill, turned, and fled.

"I will grind your bones to dust!" Tuoba Jiao’s face contorted. She clutched her chest in immense pain while lifting her other hand to grab at him from afar once more.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

In an instant, before Long Chen could even escape the room, he was seized by Tuoba Jiao’s formless pressure and dragged back. Before a cultivator in the War Ancestor Realm, Long Chen, who was only in the War Master Realm, had no power to resist!

Suddenly, a familiar voice drifted into the room from outside. "Long Chen, are you still alive?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

It was Chen Yao, rushing back frantically from the King’s Institute! She had been reporting to the Human King when she learned that Tuoba Jiao had come to her residence, prompting her to fly back in a mad dash.

Chen Yao was so anxious because she knew Tuoba Jiao’s temperament well. She also knew Tuoba Jiao wouldn’t dare enter the East Room without permission. That meant if Tuoba Jiao was still here, the only place she could be was the West Room! And that was precisely where she had just told Long Chen to stay!

Overjoyed, Long Chen opened his mouth to shout for help. However, before he could make a sound, Tuoba Jiao clamped a hand over his mouth.

"If you dare make a sound and let Sister Yao know that you saw my body and even touched my... my chest, I will make you wish you were dead!" Tuoba Jiao warned, her pretty face ashen as she stared at Long Chen. She then threw him onto the bed and lay down beside him.

Just as Tuoba Jiao managed to cover them both with the quilt, Chen Yao rushed in.

Long Chen isn’t here?

Not seeing Long Chen, Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Her relief was short-lived, however, as she noticed that Tuoba Jiao seemed to be in pain.

"Jiao Jiao, what’s wrong?" Chen Yao asked.
