Jail Dragon Emperor's Prison-Bound Son-in-Law

You've mistaken me for someone else!

Zi Yan's purple-gold eyes were filled with indifference.

Upon hearing this, the dragon's body trembled violently, and then a bright light suddenly surged forth. Its enormous body rapidly shrank, transforming in a short instant into a middle-aged man with a full head of purple-gold hair. He raised his head, his golden eyes, once filled with immense power, now gazing tenderly at Zi Yan, and said:

"Child, it's me."

Before the man could finish speaking, Zi Yan slammed down with her golden dragon claw.

But the Jail Dragon Emperor remained calm and simply raised his hand to block Zi Yan's dragon claw.

As their hands touched, a dazzling golden light suddenly surged from their bodies, finally merging perfectly at the point where their palms met, and an extremely terrifying pressure spread out.

Caught off guard, even Xiao Yuan was forced to take a step back by the pressure. However, a dazzling purple-gold light burst forth from his body, which blocked the pressure.

Staring blankly at the perfectly converging golden light, Zi Yan's eyes rippled violently. A moment later, she suddenly withdrew her dragon claw as if electrocuted, her body rapidly shrinking to protect Xiao Yuan behind her. Her beautiful eyes fixed on the gentle-looking man in front of her, her gaze growing increasingly cold.

"Child..."

Looking at Zi Yan's increasingly cold expression, the Jail Dragon Emperor was at a loss. He was clearly inexperienced in this situation and could only rub his hands together, staring at Zi Yan blankly, completely unsure of what to say.

"I am an orphan, I have no father or mother."

Zi Yan spoke in a cool voice, but there was a hint of sadness in her tone.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan sighed inwardly. Back then, Zi Yan lived alone in the deep mountains. Although she was very talented at such a young age, she still had a hard time. Later, she accidentally ate an immature Transformation Grass and was taken back to the Inner Academy by Great Elder Su Qian. However, she was always lonely until she met him and gradually made friends.

But in reality, that gluttonous and Gu Ling little girl harbored some untold sorrows in her heart.

Zi Yan's expression was stubborn, but after she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with tears. She had hoped that she could have a father and a mother. Now that she had finally found her father, the grievances in her heart finally burst forth.

"It's my fault, it's my fault! I shouldn't have coveted the Ancient Emperor Cave! It's all that bastard Tou She Ancient God's fault that I've been trapped for so long!" Seeing the tears in Zi Yan's eyes, the Jail Dragon Emperor immediately panicked and hurriedly tried to step forward. "Child, don't cry, don't cry! It's all my fault! From now on, whatever you call your father, I'll do. If you don't believe me, I'll swear it!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan stepped forward, took Zi Yan's hand, and came to her side, offering silent comfort and encouragement.

Are you telling the truth?

Zi Yan bit her lip and remained silent for a moment before asking.

Xiao Yuan's actions were seen by the Jail Dragon Emperor. Although he felt something was amiss, he dared not show it.

He could tell that, compared to her biological father, the exceptionally handsome young man beside her held a much greater place in her daughter's heart.

However, this young man is clearly human, so why does he possess such a strong bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe?

Even more so, there was the scent of his own daughter's blood in that bloodline.

Could it be that this young man seduced his daughter? And took her life essence? No, judging from his daughter's condition, she's in excellent health, even possessing Dragon-Phoenix Body. Her future achievements will likely surpass his own. So perhaps there's something he doesn't know about.

Although he was somewhat uneasy, the Jail Dragon Emperor dared not show any sign of unease on the surface, and simply looked at his daughter with a simple smile.

"Then you go back to being the Dragon Emperor, I'm quitting!"

When Zi Yan spoke, not only was the Jail Dragon Emperor, but even Xiao Yuan was dumbfounded.

After all that fuss, this is all?

wrong

Knowing Zi Yan's personality, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt a bit amused and exasperated.

It seems that this girl is still soft-hearted. Although she is not very close to her biological father, she obviously doesn't harbor much resentment. Moreover, Zi Yan has been quite happy in recent years, so she naturally won't dwell too much on the rights and wrongs of the past.

However, his playful nature hasn't changed at all.

"You're the Dragon Emperor now? Great, great! You were born to be the Dragon Emperor!"

The Jail Dragon Emperor clearly didn't understand his daughter's personality and had captured the wrong keywords.

Then he saw that Zi Yan's pretty face fell again.

"I said, you go back to being the Dragon Emperor, I'm quitting!"

Zi Yan glared at her cheap father and said angrily.

"Alright, alright, whatever Father says, Father will agree to!"

Seeing this, the Jail Dragon Emperor dared not say another word and quickly replied.

"This is Xiao Yuan, my man. I'm warning you, if you give him a hard time, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Zi Yan then raised her hand, which was holding Xiao Yuan's, and waved it in front of the Jail Dragon Emperor before speaking.

Upon hearing this, the Jail Dragon Emperor's expression changed.

He now feels like his precious daughter is introducing him to a blond-haired son-in-law.

Unfortunately, I could only accept it and had no room for argument.

"Hello, Uncle."

Xiao Yuan greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, hello, young man, you're quite capable, and your looks are the most stunning I've ever seen in all my years. I'm so grateful to you for taking care of my daughter all these years!"

Upon hearing this, the Jail Dragon Emperor dared not show any displeasure and quickly put on a kind and smiling face, saying...

"Well, Xiao Yuan, I'd like to have a private talk with my daughter. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, what do you think?"

Seeing that Zi Yan's expression had softened, the Jail Dragon Emperor also turned his pleading gaze to Xiao Yuan.

"Hehe, it's alright, I'll just excuse myself." Xiao Yuan smiled, then released his hands from Zi Yan's and said softly, "Let's have a good chat, don't be stubborn, I'll refine Rank 9 Pill for you later."

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan smiled sweetly, which Jail Dragon Emperor feel more bitter.

But this was truly a case of reaping what you sow, and there was nothing he could do about it. Besides, judging from her appearance, his daughter had clearly found a good husband, making him, as her father, seem somewhat superfluous in comparison.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

"Um, that."

As Xiao Yuan plummeted downwards, the Jail Dragon Emperor gathered his thoughts, but before he could speak, he was stumped. He realized he didn't even know his daughter's name. How embarrassing!

"My name is Zi Yan, and yours is Ziyan."

Zi Yan took a deep breath, looked at the somewhat awkward middle-aged man in front of her, and remembered Xiao Yuan's instructions, so her words still carried a hint of respect.

"Hey, no need to be so polite. My name is Zhu Kun. Hehe, you and your mother do look a lot alike!"

Zhu Kun said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"What does she look like?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked.

"So."

Zhu Kun spoke, he used his Dou Qi to condense a phantom purple-gold figure around him.

As Zi Yan gazed at the gentle-smiling figure, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.

Xiao Yuan had no intention of investigating the private conversation between Zi Yan and her father, Zhu Kun. Seeing that Zi Yan and Zhu Kun were able to continue their conversation, he breathed a sigh of relief and descended downwards.

This is a massive Stone Gate, tens of thousands of feet high.

The Stone Gate stood quietly in this vast space, as if it had existed since time immemorial. An ancient and wild aura slowly emanated from it, rippling through the heavens and earth.

Before the Stone Gate lay an equally vast plaza, and Xiao Yuan stood far beyond the ancient Stone Gate, staring blankly at the strange landscape in the dark space, speechless for a moment.

Standing before the magnificent Stone Gate, Xiao Yuan felt as insignificant as an ant, and an unconscious sense of awe welled up within him. However, he immediately realized that a sense of vigilance had risen in his heart. Even a mere Stone Gate could make him feel an irresistible urge. This place was truly strange and unpredictable.

Xiao Yuan's gaze swept across the Stone Gate, finally settling on the top of Stone Gate, where four ancient characters were inscribed. When his eyes fell upon these four characters, his pupils constricted sharply, and his heart began to pound violently.

"Ancient Emperor Cave!"

The ancient font is not overly ornate, yet in its simplicity lies an endless majesty that reigns supreme over heaven and earth!

Looking at the four ancient characters, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath.

Within this lies an extraordinary opportunity that could make two people emperors!

The Ancient Emperor's legacy was naturally meant for Xiao Yan to use.

Xiao Yuan was determined to obtain that Embryonic Pill of Emperor Grade!

Currently, he is the only person on the mainland who has the ability to properly refine a beginner-level Embryonic Pill of Emperor Grade.

Otherwise, whoever gets it will only be able to do what the Hun Tiandi did: blindly refine it by sacrificing living beings with blood.

Although one could become an emperor that way, their foundation would be unstable, and they would likely find it difficult to make any further progress.

Speaking of which, the Embryonic Pill of Emperor Grade seems to possess its own intelligence, and its strength is no less than that of Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint expert. To easily obtain the Embryonic Pill of Emperor Grade pill, some methods will be needed.

Xiao Yuan sat cross-legged on the spot, deep in thought.

Although he had erased the consciousness of the Nihility Devouring Flame, Xiao Yuan had paid special attention to the techniques of the Pill Transformation Divine Skill.

Although only fragments were extracted from the erased memories, for Alchemic Grandmaster like Xiao Yuan, even if it was just a fragment, Xiao Yuan had a way to restore it, or even upgrade it into an alchemy technique that was more advanced than the original.

Of course, this will take some time to develop.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yuan finally came to his senses, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He's pretty much got an idea.

The only problem now is how to open this door?

The Soul Clan currently possesses the Tou She Ancient God Jade from three Ancient Race: the Soul Clan, the Spirit Clan, and the Shi Clan.

Although we have more jade on our side, it will probably be quite difficult to borrow some.

"Are you eyeing the Ancient Emperor Cave?"

Zhu Kun had finished talking with Zi Yan at some point, and now he came to Xiao Yuan's side and asked in an extremely kind tone.

"Yes, I'd like to go in and take a look."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this.

After a deep conversation with Zi Yan, Zhu Kun learned about Xiao Yuan's numerous rescues of the Ancient Dragon Clan from perilous times, and also about the bond between Zi Yan and Xiao Yuan over the years. Naturally, he wholeheartedly approved of such a person becoming his son-in-law.

However, there is one more thing to confirm right now.

"Um... Xiao Yuan..." Zhu Kun rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed to speak. After a slight hesitation, he said, "I heard from Zi Yan that you have the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline and a phoenix, and can even transform into Dragon Phoenix like Zi Yan. I'm not doubting you, I'm just very curious about how a human can become a magical beast. Can you show me?"

Given Zhu Kun's status, even when facing Gu Yuan, he wouldn't lower himself so much. But now he's facing his daughter's obedient son-in-law, whom he can only obey, and also a great benefactor of the Ancient Dragon Clan. It's not shameful for him to be gentle in his tone and attitude.

"Oh, is that all? You're too kind, Uncle."

Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this, and then changed the hand seals in his hands!

Brush!

A rich, Purple-Gold Light surged forth from Xiao Yuan's body. He unleashed the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art to its fullest extent, and millions of purplish-gold dragon patterns appeared. In an instant, a purplish-gold dragon with phoenix wings appeared, smaller than the dragon that Zhu Kun had transformed into earlier, but with no less imposing presence.

"Holy crap!"

Zhu Kun was dumbfounded as he felt the intense pressure emanating from Xiao Yuan's body.

This kid's serious!

Zi Yan, standing to the side, had a look of pride on her face.

This is the man she has chosen!

A man truly like a dragon!

Zhu Kun caught a glimpse of his daughter's expression out of the corner of his eye, and his teeth clenched in pain.

But there's no way around it; you have to bear the consequences of your own actions.

Moreover, this son-in-law is truly excellent.

Xiao Yuan was thinking that things had changed, and it would be a bit unreasonable not to do something.

So he turned to look at the gate of the Ancient Emperor Cave, his purple-gold energy surging wildly.

Purple-gold dragon patterns soared around his body, like giant dragons converging together. As Xiao Yuan's dragon claw struck out, they slammed together towards the gate of the Ancient Emperor Cave.

Azure Dragon Heavenly Seat Seal!

"Don't!"

Seeing this, Zhu Kun was terrified!

That's how that bastard Tou She Ancient God trapped him here back then!

If the son-in-law gets trapped too, wouldn't the daughter tear herself apart?

However, Xiao Yuan's attack was so powerful that Zhu Kun dared not underestimate him. He immediately went all out and appeared in front of the Ancient Emperor Cave in the blink of an eye. With golden light in his palm, he struck out with a huge golden dragon claw that covered the sky and blocked Xiao Yuan's Azure Dragon Azure Dragon Heavenly Seat Seal, which was formed by hundreds of purple-gold dragon patterns.

Xiao Yuan was puzzled by this, but he still dispersed the Azure Dragon Heavenly Seat Seal. Then, his body flashed with light and he returned to human form.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Zhu Kun with a puzzled expression.

"You want to go to jail, kid? You dare to attack the Ancient Emperor Cave? How come you're as reckless as I was back then?"

Zhu Kun's face was full of helplessness. He clenched his slightly numb hands and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This kid is really something else. He 'Late Six-Star Dou Saint, and his full-force attack was so powerful that even Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint like myself couldn't easily withstand it.

Good, good, good! My daughter has good taste!
