Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 237: 237 – There’s a Problem

Translator: 549690339

Given such a requirement, Jiang Xiaobai only felt it to be somewhat challenging.

Finding twenty Frenzy Demon Stones in a day, the time requirement seemed sufficient, but the quantity was startling low.

If Frenzy Demon Stones were scattered everywhere, would people still risk their lives to venture deeper?

Procuring tens or hundreds of such gems is surely more valuable than risking life and limb for a small fortune?

Clearly, the contest between Xiao Yuwei and the many princes and princesses was about to begin.

It would undeniably be a bloody storm.

People could very likely fight to the death over a single Frenzy Demon Stone, as if it was an everyday occurrence.

“Alright, no more delays, off you go,” Xiao Yuchen said calmly: “I have other matters to attend to, so don’t bother me.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded without saying a word, leading AnRan out. In a blink of an eye, the two disappeared from Xiao Yuwei’s sight and were entirely engulfed in darkness.

At that moment, the Dividing the gods strongman behind Xiao Yuwei stepped forward.

“Princess, I don’t think this fellow is sincerely helping you. Shall we kill him instead?” the strongman suggested to Xiao Yuwei slowly.

But Xiao Yuwei shook her head dismissively: “No need. This Jiang Bai is clever. He knows what he should and should not do.”

“I’ve already promised him a hefty reward. Whether he is capable of claiming it depends on him.”

“Besides, entering the Mad Demon Valley may be easy, but getting out is like climbing to heaven.”

Xiao Yuwei gave a cold, indifferent laugh.

It seemed like she wasn’t worried at all about Jiang Xiaobai causing trouble.

The Dividing the gods strongman could only nod obediently, not uttering another word and, along with a group of people, they left in the opposite direction to Jiang Xiaobai.

In the depths of darkness, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan moved quickly, thoroughly inspecting every place they passed.

Jiang Xiaobai then frustratingly realized something—he hadn’t clarified with Xiao Yuwei about the kind of environment Frenzy Demon Stones are found in.

With no other choice, they could only glance at every place they passed. The area here was too vast. If they were to comb through every single location, a day wouldn’t be sufficient, even a month might not be enough.

“Boss, are we really going to look for stuff for Xiao Yuwei?” AnRan asked curiously.

“Of course we have to look. We haven’t entered the Mad Demon Secret Land yet, so it’s best not to piss off Xiao Yuwei.”

Jiang Xiaobai responded slowly: “Moreover, these Frenzy Demon Stones are quite useful to us as well. I carefully felt the terrifying energy of those objects earlier, one stone alone could hold out for quite a while, accumulating a power equivalent to ten thousand superior spirit stones.”

“Xiao Yuwei only asked us to get twenty. The rest can go into our own pockets.”

“Not only that, these Frenzy Demon Stones surely have other uses. It’s definitely not that simple; otherwise, they wouldn’t make us go and find it.”

AnRan listened, stumped, and then found it to make sense: “So, Boss, are we going to compete for it?”

“Isn’t that obvious? We definitely have to compete with others. Even if we don’t look for them, once they see us with Frenzy Demon Stones, they would turn green with envy.”

Jiang Xiaobai slowly shook his head: “If they tried to snatch the Frenzy Demon Stones we found, like crazy, it would only prove one point: the Frenzy Demon Stones offer more than what meets the eye.”

“Ah…”

Suddenly, AnRan’s face fell.

Within this miasmatic region, danger lurked everywhere, one could easily exhaust their spirit power and lose their protective covering, causing the miasma to invade their body and they could die senselessly.

Finding things in such a perilous place was one thing, but to engage in battles, was a complete joke!

Nearly everyone who came here was a high-level practitioner, and was not comparable to the hooligans they’d dealt with before.

Thinking of this, AnRan felt a buzzing in his head.

“Over there!”

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly yelled out. AnRan looked towards where Jiang Xiaobai pointed and saw a flash of purple light in one spot.

It was the unique light emitted by a Frenzy Demon Stone!

Xiao Yuwei had emphasized that before.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately charged towards it.

Once they got there its indeed a Frenzy Demon Stone, identical to the one Xiao Yuwei had shown them earlier.

“We’re really lucky. We just got out here and already stumbled upon a Frenzy Demon Stone. If this continues, we might be able to get twenty in less than an hour!”

AnRan excitedly implied. This was indeed very lucky.

However, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and frowned.

After scanning the surroundings and ensuring that they weren’t being watched, he grabbed AnRan and immediately fled.

After a distance, AnRan was still mystified: “Boss, why are we running?”

“There’s a problem!”

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, focusing intensely on the Frenzy Demon Stone in his hand: “Tell me, if our luck is really this good and Frenzy Demon Stones are everywhere, why would Xiao Yuwei want us to retrieve only twenty?”

“Didn’t you say so yourself, it was because of good luck?” AnRan scratched his head.

“Let me ask you again, Frenzy Demon Stones should be important things, and you’ve also felt the energy inside, it’s only slightly equivalent to nearly ten thousand superior spirit stones.”

“If we only look at this extent of energy, Frenzy Demon Stones aren’t all that important. However, why does every person here want to seize these Frenzy Demon Stones?”

Jiang Xiaobai said, his face serious: “It’s clear, the stones hold secrets unknown to us.”

“What do you mean, secrets unknown to us?”

“Yes, there must be some special effect; only after absorbing one of these Frenzy Demon Stones, can you feel it.”

Upon hearing this, AnRan pondered deeply and suddenly looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

“Boss, don’t tell me you want to consume this Frenzy Demon Stone now?” AnRan exclaimed.

From what he knew of Jiang Xiaobai, he was definitely capable of doing such a thing!

Jiang Xiaobai grinned: “Not too bad, tubby. It seems you do have a brain after all.”

“Ah?! Boss, if these Frenzy Demon Stones are as precious as you say, everyone will definitely fight for them and they will be incredibly treasured and scarce. What if we fall short by one stone when completing the task, then what?”

Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes: “You’re not really considering obediently acting like a good dog for that tramp, are you?”

“In this current situation, she still needs us. Even if I can’t find her a single Frenzy Demon Stone, what can she do? Can she kill me on the spot?”

“If she really does, it’s exactly what I want!”

Hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s self-contradictory words, AnRan was dumbfounded.

Had the boss gone mad?

“Forget it, there’s no point explaining…”

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t tell AnRan that this was related to a system selection task.

Subsequently, he turned his gaze to the Frenzy Demon Stone in his hand.
