Ancestral Dragon Blood

Seeing her dodge, Madam Li's face darkened for an instant before she put on a smile again. Turning to Jiang Wan, she sighed.

"Why are you dodging, child? I raised you with my own hands. Now that you're back, you've grown distant from me. Are you still angry with Mother?"

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes. This time, instead of dodging, she charged at her like a little cannonball.

She actually knocked her straight to the ground.

"Whose mother are you? Who is your child? Your biological daughter is over there. She's the one you gave birth to. My real mother is Fairy Xueyun. Back then, you personally switched Jiang Yao and me. Don't tell me that because she isn't the Sect Master's daughter and can't bring you any benefits, you won't even acknowledge your own daughter anymore?

Bleh, bleh, bleh! You used to beat me all the time and refuse to feed me. Jiang Yao, hurry up and come control your mother."

Jiang Yao, who had been hiding behind a large tree, was suddenly called out. She immediately ran to Jiang Wan's side, lifted her little face with an expression of longing, and said to Madam Li:

"Mother, Yaoyao is your daughter too. Why are you only good to Sister Wanwan and never good to me?"

Jiang Wan gave her a thumbs-up. She really knew how to play. Looks like this round was high-level.

Back at the Myriad Talisman Sect, this mother and daughter had not acted like this. They were trying to establish a persona in front of her, weren't they?

"Jiang Yao, you're so pitiful. She's clearly your mother, yet her eyes only see someone else. The moment she arrived, she went looking for Jiang Wan. She didn't even glance at you."

The little girl was named Su Yunrou. She looked about seven years old. Walking over, she patted Jiang Yao's shoulder to comfort her.

Madam Li got up from the ground. That damn girl had once been scrawny and weak, but now she was eating so well at a great sect that she had become this strong. That fall had made her tailbone ache.

Her face was full of difficulty as she said to Jiang Yao:

"Yaoyao, although you're my biological daughter, she's the one I raised from childhood. Last time I was good to you, Wanwan got angry. Mother just didn't want Wanwan to be upset, so I hugged her the moment I arrived."

Ugh, those words were dripping with fake innocence.

"You're lying! Last time, you even snatched the jade pendant my father gave me and gave it to Jiang Yao. You said she was your biological daughter. You said that if you'd known the Myriad Talisman Sect would find me and take me back so soon, you would have sold me long ago.

You even threw me down such a high mountain and got locked up at Meditation Cliff because of it.

Hmph! She's the one you gave birth to, so you can be good to her. But don't fleece me to give things to her.

Switching our identities was your greed to begin with. You raised me for three years, but my mother also raised your daughter for three years.

Stop pretending to be good to me here. I won't be fooled by you. Hmph!"

She had said so much in one go that she was exhausted to death.

She took out Spiritual Spring Water from her Storage Bag and gulped down several huge mouthfuls. Ah, that felt good.

Jiang Yao clenched her little fists tightly inside her sleeves. What was wrong with Jiang Wan? She was nothing like her previous life, when she had been clumsy with words, nor was she as easy to coax. Could she have been reborn too?

No, that couldn't be right. If Jiang Wan had been reborn too, things should not be like this. She would probably have skinned Madam Li alive at the first opportunity.

With Jiang Wan's temperament from her previous life, where she killed at the slightest disagreement, it was impossible for her to rattle off so much nonsense.

Madam Li had not expected Jiang Wan to say all of that in front of everyone. And it had only been a little over a month ago—how did she still remember it?

"Oh my, what nonsense are you talking about, child?"

"What are you doing? We let you come see your daughter out of respect for Venerable Wanhe. Now hurry up and leave. Get out of here."

The smile on Madam Li's face turned ugly.

"My apologies, Martial Uncle. I raised her from childhood, so when I saw her, I instinctively wanted to see her first. I'll go see Yaoyao now, hehe, see Yaoyao."

As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Yao aside. No one knew what the mother and daughter said, but when Jiang Yao returned, her eyes were red. She came before Jiang Wan and said through sobs:

"My mother told me to be good to you. She said that if I make you angry, she'll hit me. Wanwan, don't be angry. Don't fight me for my mother, okay?"

Su Yunrou planted her hands on her hips and came over again. She glared furiously at Jiang Wan as she declared:

"Jiang Wan, you already have the Sect Master's Wife as your mother. Why are you still trying to steal Jiang Yao's real mother from her?

I'm telling you, Jiang Yao will be under my protection from now on. If I find out that you bullied her, I won't let you off!"

Jiang Wan was speechless.

"And who are you?"

Liuhuo reminded her from beside her.

"This is Venerable Wanhe's youngest daughter. Jiang Yao has taken Venerable Wanhe as her master."

The image of Venerable Wanhe surfaced in Jiang Wan's mind. All right, the Cultivation World did not judge by age.

Wait, she had almost forgotten about that brat Liuhuo. Whatever, she would ignore him.

Jiang Yao squeezed her little fists and looked at the older and younger girls before her, then asked Su Yunrou.

"She's under your protection?"

Su Yunrou lifted her chin.

"That's right, she's under my protection. If you want to bully her in the future, you'll have to ask me first."

Jiang Yao continued looking pitiful.

"Senior Sister, forget it. Don't make Junior Sister Wanwan unhappy because of me."

Su Yunrou said, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

[Eh? You actually encountered Fairy Yunrou's Avatar. She once drugged your eldest brother in order to help Jiang Yao, the Child of Fortune, nearly causing him to give his pure yang essence to Jiang Yao.

Current mission: Exterminate... teach Fairy Yunrou's Avatar a lesson.

Mission difficulty: Incredibly low.

Mission reward: Ancestral Dragon Blood.]

Jiang Wan: Got it!

With a swing of her little fist, she charged forward and began beating the two of them without another word.

"Ahhh! You dare hit me—!"

Jiang Wan could not even be bothered to waste another word on her. Just beat them up and be done with it!

Jiang Yao was shocked at the side. Had Jiang Wan gone mad? How did she dare hit even Fairy Yunrou?

"Stop! Stop fighting!"

Jiang Wan exerted force with both hands and hurled Su Yunrou away. Then she turned around and punched Jiang Yao.

"So I only beat her and not you just now, huh? Acting all high and mighty in front of me!"

Nangong Wanyu watched excitedly from the side. She pulled out her little leather whip and wanted to rush in too, but little Lu Zhiyi grabbed hold of her.

"Don't go. She hasn't beaten them enough yet."

Nangong Wanyu put away her little leather whip. She really wanted to go help. Hm? Why could she not put her little leather whip away?

The Foundation Establishment Martial Uncle had just gone to send someone away, then activated the spiritual power suppression array, preventing all cultivators in the back mountain from using spiritual power. When he returned, he was drenched in cold sweat.

Why had they started fighting again?

Fortunately, he had activated the array suppressing spiritual power. Otherwise, these children had no sense of restraint. If they started throwing spells around recklessly, wouldn't that be disastrous?

"Stop, stop! Don't fight anymore, don't fight!"

Jiang Wan stood up, patted her hands, and tidied her hair. That felt great!

[Fairy Yunrou is still a cultivator of the immortal sects. In order not to take her life, you must have restrained your cultivation with all your might, which was why you did not reduce her body and soul to ashes.

Mission complete.

Mission reward: Ancestral Dragon Blood.]

[Fusing with Ancestral Dragon Blood will grant you one Ancestral Dragon skill and make you the purest-blooded hatchling among the dragon race.

Like the bloodline of the Great Earth Divine Ape, Ancestral Dragon Blood can also strengthen your body. If your redemption ultimately fails and the Heavenly Dao wants to destroy you, a sufficiently powerful body may let you escape with a sliver of life—or tear the Heavenly Dao apart with your bare hands.]

Jiang Wan: That's quite the grand promise!

Looking at the Ancestral Dragon Blood in the system backpack, she thought about finding an opportunity to fuse with it. But before that, someone had come to summon her guardian.
