Chapter 384: Another Wife

In return, Xu Chuchu returned the remaining snacks to it and promised that if she had the chance in the future, she would take it to the human world to eat truly delicious food.

Doudou ate the rest of the cake with tears in his eyes before saying to them, "Even with me leading the way, you won't be able to get the Frost Moon Rope. The place is heavily guarded and full of traps. As long as a living creature approaches, even just a mouse, Lord Dragon King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to sense it."

"Is the black dragon that is bigger than you and smaller than the Dragon King the prince?" Xu Chuchu asked.

"Yes." Doudou's expression became even more depressed when he mentioned the prince. "The prince's temper is even worse than Lord Dragon King's. If he knew I helped you, he would definitely eat me."

Xu Chuchu soothed him, "It's okay, we won't tell him. Tell us what it's like in there."

It was only then that they realized that Doudou happened to be one of the guards responsible for Hanyuesuo's safety.

Although it is a rather funny dragon, it has won this opportunity because it secretly goes to the Tailing River, which it is responsible for, to absorb energy every year and its cultivation level is not low.

Guards like them can rest and go out at any time except when they are on duty. They can also soak in lava. In short, it is quite comfortable.

Those with lower cultivation levels can only do hard labor, such as carrying rocks with the Black Dragon King, which is a dangerous and difficult job.

Hanyue was placed in a secret room by Suo. There were twelve dragons guarding it at each time, and they rotated every half a day. The next time Doudou would be rotated would be at midnight tonight.

But how could two grown men sneak in so quietly?

"It's not that difficult actually." Doudou held his chin in his hand and thought, then quickly came up with a plan.

Xu Chuchu was immediately startled, and even Xiao Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

It's not that this plan is unfeasible, but this guy... is he too enthusiastic? He's so proactive in helping them find a solution. Is he really a captive?

The two of them confirmed again and again that it was not setting a trap for them on purpose, but just had a different way of thinking from others, and only then did they feel relieved.

"What? You don't believe me?!" Doudou saw their suspicion and was very angry. "I just want to end it quickly and be free!"

"We were wrong, we were wrong." Xu Chuchu apologized, suppressing a smile. "But with your method, can't the other dragons see that we are humans and not dragons?"

"We identify our species mainly by smell. You are close to me, so it shouldn't be a problem." Doudou suddenly turned into a dragon. Xiao Yu didn't have time to retract his sword, and it scratched Doudou's body, causing it to cry in pain.

"I was going to tell you that a few of my scales were about to fall off, so I asked you to take them with you," it said sadly, "but now there's no need to tell you, you've cut them off!"

Xu Chuchu touched its head soothingly, removed a few pieces of shaved dragon scales from behind its neck, and gave it some medicine that was probably useless in a friendly and perfunctory manner.

She and Xiao Yu hid dragon scales in their clothes so that they would have the aura of a dragon.

As planned, Doudou turned into human form again and stood behind Xu Chuchu with Xiao Yu.

That is, Xu Chuchu walked in front with dignity, while Xiao Yu and Doudou walked behind as her followers.

Now she is the noble Crown Princess of the Black Dragon Clan, and the newlywed wife of the tyrannical Crown Prince Dragon...

The three of them went straight to the secret passage where the Hanyue Rope was hidden.

We met many dragons along the way, and they were all surprised to see Xu Chuchu.

It wasn't because he saw a human female, because dragons can transform into humans, but he was surprised that there were female dragons wandering outside the cage.

Logically speaking, all female dragons should be locked in cages now, forced to give birth to offspring to strengthen the power of the black dragon clan.

But none of them came up to ask, probably because Xu Chuchu's walking posture was too weird, and Xiao Yu and Dou Dou behind her looked too humble, so they thought that this human-shaped woman might have an unusual origin.

At this sensitive and turbulent moment, no one wants to meddle in other people's affairs.

"Is this really okay?" Seeing that they were almost at the secret room, Xu Chuchu turned around and asked in a low voice, "There are so many dragons, but no one has ever met the Crown Princess? What if we get exposed?"

Doudou also whispered back, "It doesn't matter. The Crown Princess changes all the time. The last one ran away, and the one before that was eaten by the Crown Prince. Even if there were dragons who had suspicions, no dragon would be so idle as to pass on a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Chuchu: “…”

It is extremely important to win the hearts of the people. If a prince does not win the hearts of the people, no one will tell him even if he has more wives.

The road in front of the secret room was winding and had many forks, and they looked extremely similar. If it weren't for Doudou leading the way, they would have spent a while searching.

...In fact, Doudou was lost for quite a while.

According to his explanation, he had always been with other dragons and just followed them without thinking.

But other than that, the secret room seemed to have no defenses.

Xu Chuchu and the others had already prepared to deal with some powerful mechanisms and magic arrays, but they didn't expect that there was nothing, which made them feel suspicious.

They were extremely alert and saw a group of black dragons guarding the door of the secret room.

"Lululu!" One of the dragons immediately stepped forward and asked.

Doudou also answered them in dragon language.

As planned, Doudou would tell them that Xu Chuchu was the new Crown Princess and came to the secret room on the orders of the Crown Prince to check on Han Yuesuo's safety.

But because they couldn't understand dragon language, they didn't know whether Doudou was talking about these things. They wondered whether it would cooperate with them or take advantage of this opportunity to collude with its accomplices to kill them.

So both of them remained highly alert and ready to meet the enemy at any time.

However, no sneak attack or fight occurred. After Doudou and the leader Black Dragon finished talking, they let the three people in safely.

The door of the secret room was opened and then closed smoothly.

Xu Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief and praised Doudou, "I can't believe you're so trustworthy, young man. You knew we couldn't understand Dragon Language, so you didn't try to cheat us."

Doudou was shocked: "You don't understand dragon language?! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Xu Chuchu: “…” Sure enough, the compliments were in vain.

I don’t know whether Doudou was joking or serious, but after he finished speaking, he explained the structure of the secret room to them.

The dragon clan's secret room is not as square as humans', it still looks like a cave.

Xiao Yu looked around and found several suitable hiding places.

There is a stone platform in the center of the cave, and on the platform is a dark green brocade box. Could it be that the Hanyue Rope is in the brocade box?

"Don't go any further." Doudou stopped them. "There's a magic circle set up by our dragon clan ahead. If it's triggered, everyone in the clan will know."

It pointed to Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu and saw that there were faint golden lines on the ground that were almost invisible to the naked eye.

There was a faint dark light flowing on the golden lines, and each line was only about the width of a fist apart, both vertically and horizontally.

"Even if you fly over, it will be triggered, so don't try it casually." Doudou curled his lips, "Forget it, I won't remind you. After I leave, you can do whatever you want."
