Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

Xu Chengxian was not captivated by the beauty of the First Princess of the South Sea.

Perhaps it was because he had been living with Ling Xiao in this life and was too familiar with her.

Inevitably, he had developed some immunity to beauty that had a similar temperament to her.

He even felt a sense of closeness when he saw this Dragon Girl.

Moreover, the First Princess, at the peak of the Demon Marquis realm, was even stronger than the Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis in terms of cultivation.

Thinking about Yu Guang, the Demon General who was almost hammered to pieces by the Water-Avoiding Demon Marquis with a few punches.

And then looking at the First Princess's slender, fair fingers, and estimating that they could poke through his snake gall.

How could he have any frivolous thoughts?

However, Xu Chengxian was almost intoxicated by the precious pearl in front of her.

The pearl, surrounded by mist and emitting a faint halo, was the size of a fist.

Floating in mid-air, it was no less beautiful than the First Princess's face.

Within the pearl, one half was as blue as the sea, and the other half was filled with hazy clouds and auspicious clouds flowing.

Vaguely, only through the clouds could one see a Yellow Dragon soaring within.

The reason for saying 'seemingly' was because, in the same instant, one could only see fleeting glimpses of the dragon's horns, tail, scales, whiskers, and claws.

The divine dragon only showed its head but not its tail, so it was impossible to see its full appearance.

However, what captivated Xu Chengxian was not entirely the beauty of this pearl.

Beautiful it was.

But for a vulgar flower snake who ate when full and slept when tired, at most he would admire it a few times, and there was no need to be infatuated.

What made him unable to suppress his fascination was the vast spiritual power within this pearl.

Contained within was an incomparably pure and refined water-attribute spiritual energy.

"Dragon Pearl."

"So this is a Dragon Pearl."

After learning from the First Princess that this precious pearl was a Dragon Pearl, Xu Chengxian knew why he cared so much about this pearl.

His true form as a demon was a Water-Avoiding Snake.

If there was no system, and he cultivated normally, he should be refining spiritual energy and practicing water-attribute spells.

The spiritual power in his body would also gradually lean towards the water element of the Five Elements due to his control over water, and he would become even more eager for the water energy of the Five Elements.

Moreover, there was also the innate yearning for transformation into a dragon in creatures such as snakes and pythons.

Therefore, after seeing this Dragon Pearl, his heart was clamoring, wanting to snatch it and devour it.

Then he heard that this precious pearl had two parts, Yin and Yang.

There was another Dragon Pearl.

"If I could get them all and devour and refine them… *slurp*" Xu Chengxian stared at the Dragon Pearl, with unspeakable thoughts running through his mind.

He wanted to snatch it.

He wanted to snatch it so badly.

It wasn't that he lacked self-control or was greedy; it was just that this spiritual object was too extraordinary.

He even had a premonition that this one pearl might directly send him to the Demon Marquis realm.

"Daoist Xu," Ao Chenxi raised her eyebrows, "Daoist Xu?"

"Huh? Huh!" Xu Chengxian instantly regained his senses and blinked.

"What is Daoist Xu looking at?"

"Looking at the Dragon Pearl," Xu Chengxian said with a very frank smile, "To be honest, I have never seen such a treasure with my own eyes, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

Although it was the first time he had met the First Princess of the South Sea, it wasn't the first time he had met such an intelligent female cultivator.

Not only were they smart, but they had also been in positions of power for a long time. With such people, concealment and lies were unnecessary and would only backfire.

It was better to be frank.

Anyway, they were not enemies, and he was too lazy to use his mind.

After all, he had no designs on the South Sea Dragon Palace for the time being.

"Daoist Xu, you wouldn't be thinking of stealing this Dragon Pearl, would you?" Ao Chenxi asked with a smile.

Red lips, pearly teeth, bright eyes and a charming smile.

He had practiced for many years in front of the Empress and the Daoist Lord!

Of course, what he said was also what he thought in his heart.

Even if he wanted to snatch the Dragon Pearl and take it for himself, as long as he wasn't crazy, it would only be a fleeting thought.

He wouldn't really have this idea.

After all, this was the Dragon Pearl of the South Sea Dragon King.

If he dared to snatch it, even if he was lucky enough to leave the South Sea alive, he would have to face the pursuit of the Four Seas Dragon Clan.

It concerned the bloodline inheritance of the Sea Dragon King and the authority of the True Dragon Clan, which could not be shared with others.

Damn it, it wasn't worth it.

"This Dragon Pearl was left by my royal father. If you want to snatch it, I'm afraid it won't work," Ao Chenxi smiled again, "In comparison, stealing from the South Sea Small Dragon Palace is much safer."

"Right, Daoist Xu?"

"…Oh." Xu Chengxian responded and couldn't help but glance at Ao Xingzhou, who was sitting beside the First Princess.

The Eighth Prince was looking down at his dragon claws at this moment.

Turning them over and over, he looked very focused.

He seemed to be considering whether to trim them.

"Hmph." Xu Chengxian understood everything when he saw this.

He had been sold out by this Eighth Prince.

That's right, it was simply wishful thinking to expect a brother-doting dragon to keep secrets from his sister.

However, judging from the current situation, it might not be a bad thing that this First Princess of the South Sea invited him here.

"Daoist Xu, don't blame my eighth brother. He also has good intentions and wants me to help you," Ao Chenxi said, "Therefore, I want to know, when do you plan to make your move, Daoist Xu?"

"Haven't decided yet," Xu Chengxian said.

Success comes from secrecy.

Before something is accomplished, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

So he didn't want to tell her the answer.

Moreover, the South Sea Dragon Palace might pretend to help him but sell him out at a crucial moment, so that he and the White Dragon Clan in the South Sea Small Dragon Palace would fight to the death.

The funniest scene for the First Princess would be to wait for him to snatch the treasure and then have the White Dragon Clan catch up, and the two sides would fight fiercely.

After all, putting herself in his shoes, if she wanted to watch a joke, of course, she would have to watch a big one.

"I think the eighth day of the lunar month would be good," Ao Chenxi said with a smile, "On this day, I will be getting married to Bai Chengyou. At that time, Ao Bojun will bring people to watch the ceremony."

"…Princess, on your joyous day, isn't that not good?" Xu Chengxian's eyelids twitched as he listened.

He had previously told Wang Shanlu that the First Princess had chosen to get married on this day, wouldn't it be to help them?

Now it seems… it really seemed like she was using this to help them divert the strongest combat power guarding the Small Dragon Palace.

"What's not good?" Ao Chenxi said with a smile, "If you really choose this day, I will take it as a congratulatory gift from you, and I will repay you with one in the future."

"This…"

"Don't 'this' already," Ao Chenxi said, "The reason I invited you here today is to confirm one thing."

"Please speak, Princess."

"Are you sure that you can break through the Buddhist Dharma Transformation Spirit Array?"

"If I wasn't, I wouldn't have been pulled into the group."

"Good!" Ao Chenxi nodded, "Since that's the case, then I will also tell you a little secret. After you hear it, you will know that the eighth day of the lunar month is a good opportunity."

"Please enlighten me, Princess," Xu Chengxian said respectfully, based on the principle that if there was a secret, it was better to listen than not.
