Chapter 111 Appeasement
After finishing her meal, Shu Ning planned to rest properly. She closed her eyes and felt the changes in her body.
It seemed as if some kind of energy was flowing through her body. She raised her hand and clenched her fist, and found that her arms, which were almost devoid of muscle before, now showed faint muscle lines.
It's smooth and not bulky, and when you loosen it, it slowly disappears under the skin of your arm.
Seeing the changes in her body, Shu Ning was overjoyed.
If her body hadn't been a little sore, she would have loved to get up immediately and chop a huge pile of firewood to test the strength of her muscles, which had grown from consuming meat several times, and see how long she could keep using them.
To fully utilize their effectiveness, she decided to exercise whenever she had free time to make them even easier to use.
Bored while lying in bed, Shu Ning took out an encyclopedia from her spatial storage and started flipping through it casually.
She remembered seeing the Abandoned Beast Domain last time and recalled the existence of dragons in this beast world. She planned to look through other parts of the encyclopedia to see if there were any methods to transform a Jiao into a dragon.
The transformation of a Jiao into a dragon... will probably be written in the section about the Jiao clan.
She flipped to the section on the Jiaolong clan and began searching for information about Jiaolong from beginning to end.
The Jiaolong tribe: mainly inhabits the Western Sea...
Her fingers searched carefully downwards, and suddenly she found a sentence with the words "full moon." Remembering that last night was the night of the full moon, she curiously looked back:
Adult male dragons experience a surge in testosterone on the night of a full moon, requiring soothing from females; otherwise…
How to appease?
Shu Ning, out of curiosity, followed the marker in the upper right corner to check the annotations—
Note: "Anfu" means mating.
Upon seeing these two words, Shu Ning suddenly realized what was going on, and then felt her face burning.
No wonder Mo Li was different last night.
So he's gone crazy...
No wonder he, who is usually so composed, suddenly acted so strangely.
When he needed her most, she resolutely rejected him.
She now wonders if she was too heartless towards him back then.
She then continued reading to see what the consequences would be without female reassurance.
...otherwise, there is a risk of sudden death.
Upon seeing this, her pupils dilated in surprise, and she abruptly sat up.
Just as she was about to get out of bed, she suddenly remembered something and sat back down.
If he were to die suddenly, he should be gone by now. After all, he was a prince of the Jiao clan; there must have been measures in place to prevent such a situation from happening.
Yes, that must be it.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But then again, even if there are measures in place, they can't change the fact that people want that on the night of the full moon.
The full moon is usually on the 15th of the lunar month, I wonder if the moon will still be full tonight, which is the 16th.
Never mind, since I already agreed to it last night, I might as well see if he will act the same way as last night.
Then she continued her search for the secret technique of the Jiao Clan to transform into a dragon.
After searching for a while, she finally found it—
The transformation of a jiao (蛟) into a dragon is a difficult process, usually requiring a stroke of good fortune, awakening of one's bloodline, and a heavenly tribulation. The method is as follows—
1. Basic cultivation (meeting any one of these requirements is sufficient)
A thousand years of cultivation: A dragon needs to cultivate for hundreds or even thousands of years, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance its own spiritual power.
Bloodline Purification: By consuming treasures such as spiritual herbs, dragon blood grass, and dragon remains, the dragon bloodline within the body is gradually purified.
Comprehend supernatural powers: Imitate the aura of the dragon race and cultivate the true dragon supernatural powers (such as summoning wind and rain, riding the clouds and mist).
2. Tribulation Transcending (the most crucial step)
The transformation of the Jiao clan into dragons inevitably brings heavenly tribulations, the most common of which are:
Tribulation of Lightning: Divine lightning from the nine heavens strikes down. The dragon must withstand it by force or by using magical objects to resist it. If it fails, it will be reduced to ashes. If it succeeds, it will be reborn.
The Tribulation of Wind and Fire: The fierce wind corrodes the bones and the true fire burns the body; if one can survive, the dragon's body will transform into a dragon's body.
Inner Demon Tribulation: A test within an illusion; if one's Dao heart is unstable, one may suffer from demonic possession.
Shu Ning couldn't help but gasp as she looked at all the calamities.
Maybe we should just forget about it. He's doing fine now, carefree. He can just be a happy husband to her.
She continued reading.
Signs of successful tribulation:
The horns of the dragon transformed into dragon horns, and the claws of the dragon evolved into five claws (symbols of the true dragon).
The dragon's scales fell off, revealing shimmering golden dragon scales.
Their size increases dramatically, allowing them to fly through the clouds and summon wind and rain.
When she saw the last part, she was tempted again. He was already very handsome, but if he turned into a real dragon, wouldn't he be able to charm all the females in the entire Beast World and the water?
Especially his popularity rating, it will definitely be at its peak in no time.
Moreover, this beast world is fraught with danger. On her second day there, she heard about the Jiaolong clan being ambushed by the Black Serpent clan, and even her elder brother, the Jiaolong clan's eldest prince, suffered severe injuries.
She suddenly realized that she couldn't be so selfish. She clearly had the opportunity to help him become stronger, but she gave up helping him because of her own concerns.
She decided to give him the choice. If he knew the risks of becoming a dragon and still chose to do so, she would then help him find the treasures that would allow him to transform into a dragon.
If they could truly help him transform into a true dragon, it would provide them with an additional layer of security in this beast world.
If Mo Li really turned into a dragon, what would he be like...?
Black Serpent Clan —
After Xuan Mo saw Xuan Qing wake up last night, he went back to his cave in the Black Serpent Clan to rest, seeing that she was feeling better.
He plans to visit her again, and if there's nothing else, he'll leave today.
"Xuanmo, you've arrived." Xuanqing, who was sitting on the bed, stood up and said upon seeing Xuanmo.
"Mother, are you feeling better?"
"Mother is perfectly fine, I'm sorry to have worried Xuanmo." Xuanqing said with a hint of panic in her eyes, rubbing her forehead and pretending to be unwell as she peeked at Xuanmo.
"Mother, with the witch doctor here, you will recover soon." Xuanmo noticed that her complexion was much better than yesterday. With the witch doctor here, she would recover completely in no time.
Hearing Xuanmo say this, Xuanqing became alert, worried that Xuanmo was about to leave again.
"Xuanmo, please don't leave Mother Empress."
Xuan Qing was also helpless about Xuan Mo's insistence on leaving, so she decided to try to move him with words first.
Perhaps she shouldn't have told Xuanmo about that matter back then, otherwise he would have been the new leader of the Black Serpent Clan long ago.
"Mother, as you know, I don't like it here." Hearing Xuan Qing's request, Xuan Mo felt a complex mix of emotions.
“The atmosphere of the Black Serpent Clan doesn’t suit me,” he said.
Seeing that Xuanmo still refused, Xuanqing relented, "How about this, I'll ask your father to stop forcing you to soak in that stuff, and we won't become any leaders. That way you can stay in the Black Serpent Clan, right?"
Seeing that Xuanmo did not respond, she continued, "The Black Serpent Clan has your childhood playmates, your favorite food, your favorite places, and your mother and father. Aren't these better than the outside world?"
"Or... do you like that female wolf, which is why you don't want to stay?"
Upon hearing Xuan Qing mention Shu Ning, Xuan Mo's eyes flickered slightly.
"Mother, you know why I chose to leave back then."
"Since you are now out of danger, I'll be going now." Xuan Mo said, then turned and left without looking at her again.
"Xuanmo—" Xuanqing called out with a pained and reluctant tone as she watched Xuanmo's departing figure.
After Xuanmo left for a moment, she took out the Forget-Me-Not Grass in her hand and held it tightly in her hand.
This forget-me-not can not only make people forget all their feelings about something, but also all their memories of it.
If we take him to that place again, the intense stimulation will help him forget about it.
At yesterday's banquet, she had already mixed the forget-me-not into the meat.
Outside the cave—
"Xuanmo, His Majesty requests your presence."
