Hearing Ao Yuanwu’s words, the anticipation on Jiang Xiaobai’s face became even stronger.

In reality, this was all an act. Moreover, when Ao Yuanwu wanted to check his cultivation aptitude, he had already communicated with the system.

The system guaranteed that no one would be able to see any clues.

Thus, this was also the situation that was happening now.

“Cough, cough…”

At this moment, Ao Yuanwu suddenly started coughing violently. He reached out his hand to cover his mouth, and blood could be seen seeping out from the gaps between his fingers.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai noticed that the other party actually had extremely serious injuries within his body.

With his current strength, he was unable to see Ao Yuanwu’s cultivation level, but he could be sure that Ao Yuanwu relied on his powerful cultivation level to suppress his injuries.

Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.

Hearing this cough, a figure rushed in from outside Dragon Palace.

“Great-grandfather, are you okay?” Ao Yan’s face was full of worry. She hurriedly wanted to call the alchemists in Dragon Valley over.

“It’s okay. This problem has been going on for more than ten years. It’s not like you don’t know.”

Ao Yuanwu smiled faintly.

For a moment, Ao Yan’s face was full of worry.

Suddenly, she could not help but look at Jiang Xiaobai. Previously, she did not know that Jiang Xiaobai could concoct pills, especially a Cleansing Pill that could remove Fire Poison.

But now, a thought suddenly arose in her mind. What if Jiang Xiaobai could cure Great-grandfather’s illness?

But before she could speak, Jiang Xiaobai took out the Divine Heaven Origin Mixed Spirit Pill.

The pill instantly emitted a rich aura. Just by smelling it, one would feel comfortable all over.

Although Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know what Ao Yuanwu’s situation was like, he was sure that this Divine Heaven Origin Mixed Spirit Pill would definitely be able to solve Ao Yuanwu’s situation!

“Great-grandfather, if you eat this pill, you should be able to recover from the injuries on your body,” Jiang Xiaobai said indifferently.

He didn’t say that it would be 100% recovered. He mainly wanted to leave a good impression. After all, this was related to his life and death.

However, what was unexpected was that Ao Yuanwu only took a glance at the pill and no longer paid attention to it.

“Put it away. These years, I’ve been eating those pills like carrots. It has no effect at all. Although this pill has a mysterious aura, it can’t really save me,” Ao Yuanwu said indifferently.

Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

He had read its description before. It was rare for this Divine Heaven Origin Mixed Spirit Pill to not be able to cure an injury, unless a person died!

‘Don’t frame me!’

However, Ao Yuanwu looked as if the pill was useless to him, which made Jiang Xiaobai dumbfounded.

But when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. Things like the Nine Transformation Golden Pill were not something that ordinary people could come into contact with.

“Great-grandfather, I have never felt the medicinal power of the pill before. It must be a good treasure!”

Ao Yan hurriedly tried to persuade him.

“Hehe, even if a mortal can concoct a pill to cure the Fire Poison, what ability does he have to take out something good? I know you gave him this pill. Isn’t it just to trick your great-grandfather into eating it?”

Ao Yuanwu looked as if he had seen through everything.

He completely dumbfounded the two of them.

“Alright, alright. Even if it’s a demigod-grade pill, I’ve already eaten one. Although the medicinal efficacy is terrifying, it’s useless against my injuries. The two of you can leave.”

“Don’t forget about the banquet tonight.”

Just like that, the two of them were sent out of Dragon Palace in a daze.

Jiang Xiaobai’s expression was still very helpless, and Ao Yan was the same.

“Don’t say anything at the banquet.”

“They’ll definitely target you. Just follow me.”

Ao Yan sighed, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and spoke, then walked straight ahead.

However, after walking for a while, she stopped and returned to Jiang Xiaobai.

“Where did this pill come from?” Ao Yan asked in surprise.

“That grandpa gave it to me. He said that it was something that I needed for an important turning point in my future life. So, I kept it.” Jiang Xiaobai continued to pretend to be stupid.

“Can you show it to me?”

“Here.”

The pill flew into Ao Yan’s hand. Ao Yan sensed it carefully. She could indeed feel an extremely mysterious aura, and the spiritual energy contained in it was so terrifying that it made people’s hair stand on end.

This was indeed a rare pill.

But… she really didn’t know what to do.

In the end, she frowned and stood there for a moment, wanting to return the Divine Heaven Origin Mixed Spirit Pill to Jiang Xiaobai.

“No need. You can take it. One day, when there’s really no other way, it might be useful,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

After saying that, he ignored Ao Yan’s stunned expression and walked away.

At the same time, he was secretly delighted. What a good trick to play hard to get!

It was not that easy to make others believe in him, but he believed that the Nine Transformation Golden Pill would definitely play a very important role.

Time passed in a flash, and night arrived.

The banquet was held in Dragon Palace.

Jiang Xiaobai thought he would see Ao Cheng here, but he didn’t see him.

Not many people came, but they were all the best among the younger generation in Dragon Valley.

Ao Tianheng was one of them.

Ao Tianheng was sitting in his seat, staring at Jiang Xiaobai with his eyes open.

“Hey, isn’t this the famous mortal Prince Consort of Dragon Valley?”

A strange voice came from the door. It was a beautiful woman with a seductive figure.

“Ao Xinran.” Ao Yan narrowed her eyes and her expression was extremely cold.

The other party did not restrain herself because of Ao Yan’s warning. Instead, she sneered even more wantonly.

“Hehehe, what’s wrong, Princess Ao Yan?”

“Because of your willfulness, Dragon Valley has lost a lot of people this time. Don’t you know?”

“You dare to do it, but you don’t dare to let others say it?”

Ao Xinran’s face was full of disdain, and she sat directly opposite Ao Yan.

Ao Yan, on the other hand, sat with a frosty expression, and her body emitted a coldness that didn’t allow anyone close.

After sitting down, Ao Xinran looked at Jiang Xiaobai again.

“Although his looks are okay, he is still mortal trash. I don’t know what’s in someone’s mind. Even if she is unreasonable and willful under the doting of the Elders every day, she should have a sense of propriety when it comes to such embarrassing things.”

Ao Xinran sneered, “Even if you find a pig demon, at least the other party has some cultivation level. At least he is much stronger than a mortal.”

These words were really vicious to the extreme.

She actually said that Jiang Xiaobai could not even be compared to a pig demon?

At that moment, he could not bear it anymore.

“Are all the women in Dragon Valley so vulgar? They keep talking about trash. Compared to Ao Yan, aren’t you also trash?” Jiang Xiaobai sneered.

“B*stard, is this a place where you, a mortal, can talk?”

Ao Xinran immediately exploded. “Ao Yan, control your dog well. It’s already good enough for your great-grandfather to let him attend the dinner party. Don’t be disrespectful.”

“If you dare to speak rudely again, I’ll chop off your mouth.”

“How dare you!” Ao Yan snorted coldly and her aura directly burst out.

No matter how useless Jiang Xiaobai was, no matter how weak his cultivation was, whether they were from two different worlds, he was still Ao Yan’s husband. It was not her place as an outsider to slander him.

Sensing the terrifying aura from Ao Yan, Ao Xinran’s face immediately turned red.

After she realized that she had been frightened by Ao Yan, her eyes were filled with hatred.

“Ao Yan, you are just relying on the fact that your great-grandfather dotes on you. The Eldest Young Master of the Ancient Clan will come to Dragon Valley in less than a month. I want to see how you will explain yourself then!”

“Dragon Valley and the Ancient Clan have already agreed on a marriage contract. Your impudence is simply bringing trouble to Dragon Valley!” Ao Xinran said coldly.

“It has nothing to do with you,” Ao Yan said.

“How can it have nothing to do with me? Once something happens, it will be a war between two forces!”

“You are quite stubborn. Do you know what kind of losses Dragon Valley will suffer this time? The Eldest Young Master of the Ancient Clan is now the holy son of the Ancient Clan. His status is respected. You can continue to act willfully. When the Ancient Clan threatens you, I want to see how you will die!”

Ao Xinran sneered sarcastically.

As she said this, she looked at Jiang Xiaobai again. “I reckon that when the time comes, this pet of a mortal that you keep in captivity will die a terrible death. You’ll be crying because of this.”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the Dragon Palace dropped to freezing point. Many young talents of Dragon Valley frowned, and Ao Yan’s face was as cold as ice.

At this moment, a calm voice was heard.

“I finally know the difference between you and Ao Yan. Compared to her, you are really useless..”
