Deep within the Fuxi Abyss, a figure was frantically fleeing through the air.
Trailing behind him was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, circling and pursuing, its breath bearing down with an infuriating pressure.
The fleeing man was, naturally, Chu Yang. His clothes were tattered, and his face was scorched black from the dragon's breath – he looked as disheveled as a stray dog.
One man, one dragon, were playing a game of marathon in mid-air.
It chased, he fled, and thus, a sweet romance was born.
The setting sun painted a perfect picture, much like a man with a knife chasing after the adulterer who had cuckolded him, a sight that would bring tears to your eyes.
"Damn it! Why is this stupid dragon chasing me?!"
After half a day of running, Chu Yang increasingly suspected that this dragon was targeting him. Otherwise, he should have been able to lose it by going to populated areas, but it still hadn't lost interest. It seemed determined to eat him.
Finally, after his spiritual energy was seventy or eighty percent depleted, Chu Yang finally "realized" something.
Could it be that the thing in the Box is making the stupid dragon chase me relentlessly?
Thinking of this, Chu Yang steeled his heart. He found an area where several cultivators were fighting monsters and dove down, dropping the Box.
Sure enough, the moment the Box fell, the dragon immediately changed its attack, ignoring Chu Yang and flying directly towards where the Box had landed.
Seeing that he was out of danger, Chu Yang immediately found a spot in a desert and gasped for breath. He took out a handful of pills from his storage ring to replenish his spiritual energy and stuffed them into his mouth.
At the same time, he secretly watched the dragon's movements.
The poor cultivators who were still fighting monsters didn't have time to react to what was happening before a huge shadow covered them in the sky. Then, a burst of scorching breath swept across, instantly turning them into ashes.
The next moment, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon grabbed the Box with a claw, and its body then coiled around a towering, cloud-piercing Gobi mountain peak, fiercely guarding the Box.
Seeing this, Chu Yang took a deep breath. He was relieved that he hadn't directly confronted the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, but at the same time, he was even more curious about the treasures inside the Box.
However, he knew that with his own strength, he was absolutely incapable of fighting the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. He might have a glimmer of hope only if he found other cultivators to risk their lives for a chance.
"Holy cow, where did this Indian come from!"
A startled cry made Chu Yang shiver involuntarily.
Looking up, he saw Ma Jun staring at him with a look of shock.
Chu Yang heard this and stood up, saying, "Ma Jun, how's the matter I asked you to handle?"
Hearing this voice, Ma Jun shivered all over. He silently prayed in his heart that this master wouldn't take his words to heart.
"So it's the Ninth Prince. You... you, how did you end up like this?"
"I'm asking you a question! Why are you changing the subject!"
Chu Yang, who always cared about his image, was infuriated by Ma Jun's question.
Unfortunately, he looked like a native African now, so Ma Jun couldn't see his expression.
"Ninth Prince, we were all deceived. That Liu Chengzhou was playing possum! A few of us were defeated by him. If I hadn't been quick-witted, I wouldn't have been able to come back and report to you!"
"A bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even handle an old man, and you still have the nerve to see me!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang was furious. He immediately raised his left palm, and a crimson flame slowly appeared in his palm, intending to finish off Ma Jun with one blow.
However, the flame in his palm quickly dissipated, and Chu Yang felt a suffocating discomfort all over his body.
In the chase with the evil dragon, he had also sustained serious internal injuries. Though he'd taken a pill, it hadn't taken effect so quickly.
For now, I'll let him go. I'll make plans after my injuries heal.
Thinking this, he forced himself to appear calm. "Alright, we'll discuss this later. I need you to gather some cultivators here to help me slay the dragon."
"Slay the dragon? Where's the dragon?"
"Can't you see with your own eyes?!"
Following Chu Yang's pointing finger, Ma Jun looked over.
One look and he nearly wet himself, muttering, "There really is a dragon... what, what do we do?"
Chu Yang took a deep breath. He didn't want to waste another word on such a useless person. If he didn't need to maintain his image, he would have killed him right then and there.
"Go and tell those treasure-hunting cultivators that this is an Ancient Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. Everything about it is a treasure. I don't want anything from this dragon; I only want the Box that the golden dragon guards!"
"Is there something inside the Box?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't! Just do as I say!"
"Yes!"
Ma Jun got up to leave, but suddenly, he thought of something and turned back to ask, "Your Highness, are you injured?"
Chu Yang's eyes turned icy with killing intent, "Does my condition concern you?"
Ma Jun quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, Your Highness. I mean, that Liu Chengzhou has Healing Elixir. I took it myself. My broken legs were completely healed after just one dose. If Your Highness needs it, you can go to him for the medicine, but it's not cheap."
Chu Yang's cold eyes narrowed, "Is this true?"
"I swear to the Heavenly Dao that every word is true."
"How much is his medicine?"
Ma Jun instinctively wanted to say "one thousand Spirit Stones," but when he thought about Chu Yang daring to speak to him like that, he decided to take advantage of the situation and scam him. He replied, "It's not expensive, only ten Spirit Stones. The person is at the Southern Entrance Barrier."
"Hmm, it's not expensive. What are you still doing here? Get lost!"
"Yes!"
Ma Jun immediately leaped away.
Chu Yang saw that his injuries couldn't heal quickly, and he was bound to encounter danger in the perilous Fuxi Abyss. He decided to give it a try and walked step by step towards the Southern Entrance.
At the Southern Entrance, Shen Zhao and Ding Buer were bored out of their minds, so they set up a barbecue grill and started eating Barbecue.
Yu Xiyan was speechless at the scene before her. Everyone else had gone to such lengths to enter the Fuxi Abyss, just to seek opportunities and improve their strength.
But these two? It was like they were on a vacation.
"Miss Shen, would you like a skewer too?"
Seeing that Yu Xiyan didn't respond, Ding Buer casually offered her a chicken wing skewer.
Yu Xiyan hadn't wanted to take it. After all, at the Soul Sea Realm, the need for food was low. She could go without eating for two months without it affecting her body.
But the chicken wings smelled so delicious that she couldn't resist taking a skewer and bringing it to her mouth. She took a small bite.
In an instant, Yu Xiyan was stunned.
The taste of these chicken wings was familiar and pure.
She couldn't help but eat a few more bites, and finally ate the whole skewer. Immediately, she looked longingly at the barbecue grill, and memories flooded back.
It was the fifth year after she ascended the throne. The Yin Tian Dynasty had cleared internal and external troubles, and everything was thriving.
To celebrate this day, Shen Zhao specially prepared a barbecue feast for Yu Xiyan.
Yu Xiyan, who no longer needed to eat grains, was also attracted by the aroma and immediately couldn't help but eat with Shen Zhao.
And because the barbecue contained rich spiritual energy, after a barbecue, her cultivation actually soared again, even better than the effect of the Spirit Fruits and Spirit Beasts she had eaten.
Not only delicious but also able to improve cultivation, she didn't know how Shen Zhao did it.
"Is Your Majesty satisfied?"
"Not bad, this time I won't blame you. Get some similar ingredients in the future when you have time."
"So, Your Majesty, now that the world is at peace, may this subject enter your… inner circle?"
"Shen Zhao, don't try to take advantage. You haven't done enough to become one of my confidants."
"Yes, this subject will redouble his efforts!"
"Then I'll be watching."
That was a rare moment when Yu Xiyan didn't fly into a rage at Shen Zhao. Instead, she offered her first, and only, positive affirmation.
Lost in thought, Yu Xiyan suddenly felt the spiritual energy in her qi sea surge, hinting at a breakthrough.
She was all too familiar with that feeling. It was after eating a barbecue prepared by Shen Zhao that she had first experienced the signs of a breakthrough.
Without further thought, Yu Xiyan immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
At that moment, Chu Yang hobbled into Shen Zhao's view.
"Holy shit! Where did this Indian come from?"
"A-ta!"
Poor Chu Yang, just as he was about to bow and ask Shen Zhao for medicine, was kicked dozens of meters away by Shen Zhao's strange shout, crashing heavily into a piece of a ruined wall, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.
