Chapter 651: Chapter 178: Golden Dragon: My Middle Years (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2
[Emperor Shunye rewarded Jia Jinbo with a vast amount of gold and silver treasures and even wanted to confer upon him the title of State Preceptor, but Jia Jinbo refused and took his leave. Emperor Shunye tried to persuade him to stay, to no avail, and ultimately let the matter go, though a trace of coldness flickered in the depths of his eyes.]
[Unbeknownst to Jia Jinbo, Emperor Shunye harbored murderous intentions, but what the emperor also didn’t know was that during the past six days and nights, Jia Jinbo had stealthily stolen ninety percent of Daqian’s national fortune!]
[This ninety percent of the national fortune had transformed into nine ferocious, clawing black dragons, which Jia Jinbo tucked into his sleeve, surrounding you.]
["Little beast, let’s see how you’ll make a fuss this time!" Jia Jinbo was confident of his victory.]
[These black dragons originated from the human realm’s incense offerings, making them Qi Fortune Dragons possessing spirit but no soul. Encountering you, a true dragon with a complete spirit and soul, they are like a pack of starved wolves and will inevitably join forces to confront you, vowing to devour you for their pleasure.]
[With this move, Jia Jinbo intended to restrain all of your energy, preventing you from interfering with his journey back south.]
[However, he had miscalculated.]
[What he had not anticipated was that in the final moments of your separation on the sixth day, you successfully sensed a trace of life being born within Lady Lv’s body!]
["Hahaha, that’s Zhu Wu, no, that’s me being born!"]
[Without hesitation, you activated "One Belt One Road," and without a second word, you bound yourself to that now extremely frail little life!]
[Crack!]
[In an instant, with the thunder of heaven calling to the fire of earth, you felt the pulsation of life, the circulation of blood, and the encompassing warmth from the mother.]
["Is this... is this Zhu Wu’s body?!" You suddenly realized, knowing your current location, you found yourself inside the Wa Palace, the nurturing ground of life, the moment you successfully entered Zhu Wu’s body.]
[You, Ao Qian, have successfully formed a connection with Zhu Wu!]
[This should have been impossible, Zhu Wu is you, Ao Qian is also you, how could the two meet? This is against the Heavenly Dao! It deserves heavenly punishment!]
[Yet, strangely, this event truly occurred. You broke through the barriers of nothingness, exceeding the limits of reality; but there is always a price to pay, so the mode of your binding changed, from a "One Belt One Road" binding to a "One Road One Belt" binding...]
[Heavenly Defiance! You can now control yourself!]
[Patching: Manipulation.]
Yay!
Seeing the successful bonding notification, Xu Shu’s eyes shone with delight.
This round was well played, old dragon me has made it!
Bonding with Zhu Wu, it may not seem like much in the short term, but as time goes on, he is destined to be a super powerful figure who can cover the sky with one hand, ahahaha—wait a minute.
"One Belt One Road" turned into "One Road One Belt"?
What does that mean? Xu Shu immediately became alert.
The reversal of order didn’t sound like good news.
He needed to find out what was going on!
[You’re quite curious, it’s really just a simple change of head, during "One Belt One Road," you were the beneficiary standing on the giant’s head, now with "One Road One Belt," you are the giant, and it’s the other party standing on the giant’s head, enjoying the benefits of cultivation.]
[After all, it’s still binding, what’s wrong with that?]
Xu Shu:...
F**k!
Does this mean I can’t rely on Zhu Wu to enhance my own strength?
I was hoping to win by lying down, and now I’ve become the one carrying him?
Isn’t this like binding in vain?
Xu Shu was instantly furious, thinking that this was too much of a scam; this doesn’t count, he wanted to bind with someone else.
However, fate isn’t a joke, life is like a game of chess with no regrets once a move is made.
Since a choice has been made, one could only move forward!
And besides...
Xu Shu took a deep breath, since things have come to this, the path was chosen by him, and there was no room for regret.
At the same time, he seemed to understand why "Zhu Wu’s" strength had mysteriously improved so rapidly.
It turns out "Zhu Wu" was the one standing on the giant’s head after all!
This, why does this feel fated?
The Tai Chu Scroll awaits me?
What if I hadn’t bound myself to Zhu Wu, but to someone else?
Xu Shu was puzzled, but soon had some conjectures.
Perhaps it’s because...
I know myself too well.
The Tai Chu Scroll was my creation, incorporating the basic logic of my behavior and conduct, so everything that seemed coincidental was, in fact, inevitable...
[Stop overthinking, cool off, change your perspective. After all, you are still the ultimate beneficiary. At the end of the day, does it matter who is responsible for the hard work and who reaps the rewards?]
[More words are useless, as inside and outside the Imperial City right now, sudden changes arise.]
[At this moment, you, as a temporary wanderer, have gone into Zhu Wu’s body, and you are a tiny fertilized egg. Consequently, the Qi Fortune Black Dragons cannot sense your presence; they only see a golden dragon true body, soulful yet without spirit.]
[This is your temporary "spiritless corpse"!]
[The temptation was too great! Originally, they only wanted to share in your flesh and blood, but now they have completely lost their senses. The black dragons crazily penetrated your physical body and fought for dominance, each wanting to be the master of your body.]
[While they were busy fighting over sovereignty, unable to reach a resolution, you, tired of lying in the fertilized egg, had a thought and returned to your true golden dragon body.]
[Seeing the "spirit" suddenly appear in the "spiritless corpse," the feasting black dragons were instantly struck with terror!]
[Initially, nine against one, they were a match for you, slightly weaker but still capable of restraining you.]
[But now, this was your home ground; if they continued to stay, they would be no match for you and would surely be consumed.]
[Without even a moment to mourn the Qi Fortune they had wasted in your body, the nine Qi Fortune Dragons scattered in all directions, fleeing like dogs that have lost their homes.]
["Roar!"]
[Having just left the Imperial City, jubilant of his assured victory, Jia Jinbo suddenly stumbled and fell from his precious steed. He saw nine Qi Fortune Black Dragons soaring to the sky, scattering and fleeing in the blink of an eye, disappearing from sight, not knowing where they ended up, and who had opportunistically gained from it!]
