Chapter 216 Human...Jinchūriki?
The entire room fell silent.
Whether it was the people from the Special Affairs Bureau, Su Yitong, or Yu Xunhuan who was on his last breath, no one dared to utter a sound.
Only Black Jade, filled with hatred and anger, still had a burning yearning and ambition in its eyes.
Dragon! A real dragon!
Even though Tu Lan and Black Jade were of similar size, the latter had never given them such a great sense of oppression.
At this moment, for the first time, they truly felt what the might of the dragon meant!
As if they had encountered their natural enemy, even breathing became difficult. An invisible pressure was pressing down on them, and their health began to drop at an extremely slow rate.
The red arrow that took away 7% of Black Jade's health was even more shocking. It took them nearly 15 hours to fight the dragon, using all their talents, tactics, methods, and items, in combination with their offense, defense, and healing, to reduce the dragon's health to 9%...
The abnormal power amplification of Yu Xunge, coupled with the dragon shadow behind him and Tu Lan's attitude, made it clear to everyone present that this state must be related to Tu Lan.
Many people even muttered to themselves: A human... a Jinchūriki?
Tu Lan uttered the most crucial line that Yu Xun Ge had planned for her: "Hei Fei, I know what you want. Don't try to challenge the bottom line of a dragon. Even the 12 Holy Clans cannot withstand the wrath of the dragon."
Yu Xunge directly used the tiger's skin to raise a banner, so even if Hei Fei later asked for dragon blood, it would be useless. No one would offend a true dragon with an entire dragon clan standing behind it for the sake of a single dragon.
As for whether Yu Xunhuan would later learn from Hei Fei that Hei Fei was willing to form a contract with Yu Xunhuan for the sake of dragon blood, Yu Xunge didn't care.
What she wants is trust, not disgusting affection.
Putting aside the fact that the contract with the Black Jade was an opportunity that Yu Xunhuan was willing to betray his wife to seize, even if Yu Xunhuan knew, he would at most hate Yu Xunge, but he wouldn't stop trusting Yu Xunge just because she didn't give him the dragon blood.
Who dares to take the blame for angering the dragons?
Even Yu Xunhuan had to find a way to persuade Hei Fei not to openly attack the dragon, otherwise Hei Fei would be hunted down by Lan Xing, and he, as Hei Fei's pet, would not fare well either.
As for Su Yitong, she believed that with Su Yitong's intelligence, Su Yitong would not actively become her enemy unless she took the initiative to deal with her.
In her mind, Tu Lan was urging Yu Xun Ge: "Quick, quick, help me think of a few more cool lines!"
Tu Lan delivered that line, something like, "Do you even know who my parents are? How dare you mess with me?!" with such high emotional intelligence, and it felt incredibly satisfying!
Yu Xunge's head was throbbing: "...Think for yourself!"
Tu Lan: "Ughhhh, I should have said 'You don't deserve it'! Help me think of something! I don't care, I don't care!"
Yu Xunge's head throbbed from the noise, and he casually remarked, "I'm sorry for being born a dragon?"
Tu Lan: "This is infuriating!! You're so vicious!"
The next second...
Tu Lan: "I'm sorry for being born a dragon, Black Jade. Please live on as a Jiao forever."
Yu Xunge: "..." Help!!!
Everyone: "..."
Black Jade: "…………"
What a vicious curse! What infuriating words! It's so angry it's practically growing its own scales!
Zhao Shuying glanced at Yu Xunge silently, her eyes seeming to say: What kind of nonsense has Tu Lan learned from you?
Tu Lan: "Oh my god, I'm so cool! I feel so fired up! Aww~~"
Tulan: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Yu Xunge couldn't hold on any longer. This Daughter's Red wine was of very limited use to someone who never got drunk and only slept.
She let herself collapse—the play had gone far enough; the human jinchūriki, Yu Xunge, could go home. How could borrowing the dragon's power come without a price?
Clinging to her last shred of sanity, she reset her attributes back to their previous values from the dungeon run, and then fell unconscious.
A wisp of frost gently enveloped Yu Xunge. Tu Lan used magic to secure Yu Xunge to her back, preventing her from slipping. Then, she slowly rose into the air, looking down at all the players. Finally, she uttered a phrase that Yu Xunge had never taught her:
“I love my contractor very much. Her home is my dragon's lair. Every dragon will swear to protect its dragon's lair with its life.”
After saying that, she carried Yu Xunge and flew out of the instance.
...
Players waiting outside the instance initially thought that Black Jade would emerge, but they were surprised to find Tu Lan carrying Yu Xun Ge.
After the leader of the players saw the private message on the screen, he made a gesture, and all the other players remained still, letting Tu Lan leave.
Tu Lan flew above the clouds, placed a bubble on Yu Xunge that she had used before at the bottom of the sea, and then carried her contractor slowly through the air.
After the man and the dragon left, the dungeon remained quiet for a long time. In the end, it was Zhao Shuying who, worried that Yu Xunhuan was really dead, spoke up to remind the healer to heal Yu Xunhuan.
Although Yu Xunge only mentioned Lanxing and not Yu Xunhuan when she broke out, no one present—including Yu Xunhuan and Hei Fei—would believe that she didn't care about her younger brother.
Otherwise, why would she lose her temper and fight Hei Fei head-on when Yu Xunhuan was almost beaten to death?
Everyone subconsciously assumed that Yu Xunge deliberately avoided mentioning Hei Fei because he was worried that Hei Fei would take his anger out on Yu Xunhuan.
I wonder how severe the side effects of Yu Xunge using Tu Lan's power are... how could she faint after only a few minutes?
Once Black Jade's health dropped to 2%, it instantly became much more agreeable.
The Special Affairs Bureau wanted Black Jade to stay in the instance indefinitely, offering to provide food, but when they brought it up, Black Jade opened its mouth wide at Yu Xunhuan.
The next second, a ray of red light shot out from Yu Xunhuan's chest and flew towards Hei Fei. Yu Xunhuan's health points began to decrease rapidly, while Hei Fei's health points began to increase.
Soon, Yu Xunhuan's health points dropped to 1%.
Just as the Special Affairs Bureau members were about to intervene and treat him, Yu Xunhuan's level began to drop!
Level 8 → Level 7!
Level 7 → Level 6!
And every time he loses a level, Black Jade's health will recover a large portion at an astonishing rate!
In the blink of an eye, Black Jade's health points were restored to 52%.
At this point, Yu Xunhuan was only level 3.
Everyone was stunned, even Yu Xunhuan was momentarily speechless. He stared blankly at Hei Fei, his face filled with "Huh?"
Su Yitong clasped her hands together: "..."
She hated nothing more than having her things taken from her, but at this moment, at least half of her hatred for Yu Xunhuan turned into gratitude!
She'll fight anyone who says Yu Xunhuan is a jinx to his wives.
Can this be called a wife-killer?! Even raising a ghost child wouldn't necessarily result in one that can ward off disasters like this.
Huh? She's the only one talking? Oh, never mind then.
