Xu Nian still chose to heed the words of Emperor Ye Tian and stealthily approached the woman''s dress.

    Still, as Xu Nian actually went about doing so, he remained uneasy inside.

    He truly feared being caught halfway while stealing the clothes and then being pursued by the naked woman.

    Tsk tsk, the thought of that scene was unimaginable.

    Xu Nian tiptoed toward the large rock, but he painfully discovered that there was no cover near the large rock, which meant he had to take the clothes in a flash while the woman was not paying attention.

    But the woman was from the Silver Moon Battle Sect—was that even possible?

    "Divine Emperor, do I really have to do this sleazy task?" Xu Nian asked again for confirmation.

    "If you don''t want to, that''s fine. However, I must remind you, this is a great opportunity to rapidly increase your Cultivation; if you give up, and Ouyang Chengfeng kills you later, then your mother..." Emperor Ye Tian said.

    "Fine, I''ll do it!" Xu Nian gritted his teeth.

    To save his mother, he was willing to do a sleazy thing like this, even sacrificing his own life if needed.

    The sooner he increased his Cultivation, the less his mother would suffer.

    Having made up his mind, Xu Nian hesitated no longer; as he saw the stunning girl turning her head while bathing in the pond, he rushed out like a swift gust of wind.

    Xu Nian''s movements were quick and silent, and he reached the large rock in one breath.

    However, just as Xu Nian was about to touch the woman''s dress, the bathing beauty''s gaze suddenly sharpened, and she turned her head to fiercely call out, "Who?"

    At the same moment as she spoke, that slender jade hand slapped the water surface, causing water to splash; the woman then immediately pulled out a long whip made entirely of condensed water from the water.

    The long whip flew up and instantly curled around Xu Nian''s neck.

    A pull!

    Xu Nian plunged into the water.

    It was over!

    The moment Xu Nian fell into the water, an army of Divine Beasts charged through his mind.

    With a cold huff, the woman slapped the water and was about to exit the water surface;

    Xu Nian felt speechless; was it not Emperor Ye Tian who had instigated him to end up in this situation?

    "Senior Divine Empress, why exactly did you make me steal that woman''s dress?" Xu Nian asked.

    "Just look at the bag attached to that dress," the Divine Empress''s voice answered.

    Xu Nian paused, then noticed a small, exquisite purple bag tied to the woman''s dress.

    The Qiankun Bag!

    Xu Nian was shocked, not expecting a Qiankun Bag to be attached to the woman''s dress.

    Like the storage ring, Qiankun Bags are used for storing items and have unimaginably vast spaces inside.

    Generally speaking, storage rings are much more valuable than Qiankun Bags. The Xu Family Elders might have Qiankun Bags, but only the patriarch has a storage ring.

    However, the storage bag before him was clearly different, seeming to be meticulously crafted, unlike ordinary storage bags.

    "Kid, this is no ordinary storage bag. This is called the Hundred Treasure Bag, which not only has much larger space than ordinary ones but can also store living creatures and preserve medicinal herbs," Emperor Ye Tian''s voice explained.

    Xu Nian showed a look of surprise. Able to store living creatures? Probably even storage rings couldn''t do that, no wonder this woman of such status carried this Qiankun Bag instead of a storage ring.

    In fact, Xu Nian didn''t know that the woman not only carried this Hundred Treasure Bag but also had a concealed storage ring on her hand; he just hadn''t seen it.

    Watching the Hundred Treasure Bag, Xu Nian felt both shocked and delighted, but soon became frustrated. If only he had known Emperor Ye Tian wanted the bag, he would have stolen just the bag instead of the woman''s clothes.

    "Never mind, when we meet next time, I''ll find a chance to compensate her. Let''s see what''s inside first," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

    Having stolen her belongings and seen her undressed, this sleazy and despicable behavior was indeed inappropriate. But since he had done it, he would just have to compensate next time.

    When Xu Nian opened the bag, he immediately understood why Emperor Ye Tian had him do such a base task.

    Inside the bag, there lay not only many precious herbs but also all kinds of miraculous spirit pills, and what caught Xu Nian''s attention the most was a piece of Jade Bottle.

    Inside this bottle, there was a crystal-clear liquid that emitted a faint strange fragrance, within which emanated a distinctive Dragon Energy.

    "Jade Dragon Marrow?" Xu Nian couldn''t help but tremble, his face showing extreme excitement.

    Jade Dragon Marrow was the essence of at least Battle General Level Dragon Clan Divine Beasts after their deaths, meaning this small bottle essentially contained the entire Bloodline Power of a Battle General Level Dragon Clan Divine Beast.

    With it, Xu Nian''s Body Refining Cultivation would surely skyrocket!
