Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl - Chapter 387 - Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Leaving

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Leaving
Previously at the auction, Jiang Xiaobai treated money as if it were nothing. He purchased whatever caught his eye, regardless of the cost.

This was the case with the Blood Warrior as well. He had never heard of such a thing, and with no need for money, his bidding reached astronomical sums.

Indeed, he outbid everyone else, securing the Blood Warrior for himself.

Initially, he hadn’t wanted to delve into understanding what exactly a Blood Warrior was. However, when Gu Ning asked, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.

He stared at the silent Blood Warrior, who didn’t even blink. Jiang Xiaobai furrowed his brows.

For he could see a trace of agony in the Blood Warrior’s eyes.

This revelation caused a stirring of alarm within Jiang Xiaobai.

Why should it be so?

By rights, a Blood Warrior should be a machine of slaughter, responding to any and all commands without a hint of emotion.

They were entirely manipulated by the unique methods of the ancient tribes, controlled by a Foreign Token.

There should be no appearance of any humane expression. Yet why does the Blood Warrior in his presence have such an expression?

“Perhaps, this is why the ancient tribe wanted to sell this Blood Warrior.”

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes with an increased curiosity about this Blood Warrior.

“Not that I particularly want to study in such a way, just that I’m curious. Let’s continue to investigate the situation further; we can’t stay in Qing Luan City any longer.”

Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking and, producing the Foreign Token used to control the Blood Warrior, commanded it to sit.

“Sit down in the chair.”

To his orders, the obedient Blood Warrior promptly sat down in the chair, adopting a composed pose.

However, its current appearance was rather lamentable. Its clothes were in disarray, dirtied and torn, and on its body were wounds. Its wrists and ankles bore the pronounced traces of long-term shackles.

A woman with such a delicate face and exquisite figure had been turned into an emotionless killing machine by the ancient tribe. This realization left a sour taste in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart.

Coming from modern society, he was already finding it hard to adjust to being served by maids, let alone this.

Somewhere in his mind, an idea began to form spontaneously.

“What if I could help alleviate her suffering?”

Once the idea formed, it quickly took root and dominated his thoughts. Such a woman, subjected to such unbearable torture, was bound to be in unimaginable agony.

Regardless of what Jiang Xiaobai was planning, he couldn’t stay in Qing Luan City, under the scrutiny of the ancient tribe.

“Let’s go, Master, we need to leave here.”

Gu Ning nodded in agreement, “Where to?”

“Uh… this…”

Jiang Xiaobai was suddenly at a loss. Initially, he set out just to stir up trouble, and did just that. The situation hadn’t exploded yet, but it seemed imminent.

“Might as well take this opportunity to start a little more trouble. Anyway, when the time comes, we’ll just cut and run. We’re definitely leaving Northern State.”

As Jiang Xiaobai contemplated, a cold smile spread across his face. He remembered Gu Leng mentioning a city ten thousand miles away, which was also a territory of the ancient tribe.

If he had already caused an incident in Qing Luan City, why not stir up more trouble somewhere else?

He was certainly willing to bring down the ancient tribe. This little additional trouble was nothing to him.

“We’ll head to West Wind City, it’s not far from another domain of the ancient tribe.”

“You’re planning to stir up more trouble?” Gu Ning asked, shocked. The audacity of Jiang Xiaobai’s plan startled her.

He had already caused enough of a mess for the ancient tribe, would he dare to risk more?

If the ancient tribe were to react, wouldn’t they pursue him across the entire Northern State?

“Of course, I am. We’re doing this anyway. I’ve heard that the ancient tribe seems to be conspiring with a force called City of Saint. They’re raising money for this purpose.”

“If I don’t intervene, they might succeed in forming a coalition with the City of Saint. Would that leave me in a good position to have any benefit?”

Having finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly inquired, “Master, do you know about the City of Saint?”

Gu Ning nodded, “I know of it, but I won’t tell you about it. There’s no need for you to know.”

“But it’s not a good place. If you can avoid doing business with the City of Saint, it would be better for you.”

“If you must know, think of the City of Saint as a place that swallows people whole.”

Jiang Xiaobai was struck with a cold sense of fear.

He was very aware of Gu Ning’s strength – it was certainly formidable. The fact that she expressed such an opinion about a place or power gave a clear indication of the level of danger it posed.

But Jiang Xiaobai was one who was unfazed by trouble.

Everyone has just one life. If he could die, why couldn’t they?

“So it’s settled, we’re heading to West Wind City.”

With his mind made up, Jiang Xiaobai ordered the Blood Warrior to follow him, heading straight for the Ancient Tribe’s auction house.

He intended to directly expose himself; who would suspect him?

When he located Gu Leng, he was still unconscious. However, upon hearing that Jiang Xiaobai planned to leave for West Wind City, he readily agreed and instructed his subordinates to treat Jiang Xiaobai well and ensure his safe arrival.

The auction house’s transportation array was activated, and without any hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai and his party departed.

“Young Master, about the information you asked me to look into earlier, we found nothing.”

After Jiang Xiaobai left, a servant approached, “There are a few Bai families in Northern State, but none of them match the identity and status of this young master Bai, so we…”

“No matter, they are definitely not from Northern State.”

Though Gu Leng was drunk, his mind was still clear, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Upon arrival in West Wind City, Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning found it to be a large city, one that was no less than Qing Luan City. Here too, there were members of the ancient tribe.

Before they arrived, Gu Leng tried to arrange a warm reception for Jiang Xiaobai, but Jiang Xiaobai refused, giving a straightforward reason.

They were just passing through and would not be staying long. Ultimately, Gu Leng had to relent.

Upon reaching West Wind City, Jiang Xiaobai hardly lingered in the city. Accompanied by the cloaked Blood Warrior, he directly headed for the nearby mountainous forest.

After spending much time searching, they finally found a secluded area, where Jiang Xiaobai undid the cloak of the Blood Warrior.

But as soon as he removed the cloak, the Blood Warrior sharply turned her gaze on him, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Furthermore, she slightly raised her hand as if preparing to attack Jiang Xiaobai.

However, due to the ancient tribe’s unique means, she seemed to have suffered backlash. Vomiting a mouthful of blood, she made no further moves.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback.

It was fortunate that he left Qing Luan City promptly. Had they stayed longer, more issues might have arisen!

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning stood looking at each other.
