"Huh?"

Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi also stopped and stood at the entrance of the Nie Family, surprised to turn around and look back at the transformed form of Linglong...

"This is..."

No one expected that Linglong's true form was actually a dragon?

Unexpected!

So unexpected!

"Hahaha! Shuang'er, Zi'er, your luck is simply extraordinary, absolutely heaven-sent, truly chosen by the gods. On your wedding day, a dragon came right to your doorstep! As far as this ancestor knows, ever since the last invasion of the Heavenly Demon into the Divine Wind Continent, the Dragon Clan has been extinct here!"

"To think, it has appeared again, and on your wedding day at that! It is simply a gift from the heavens!" Nie Kun couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

"Grandfather, what exactly is going on here?" Nie Shuang, along with Yuan Zi, wore an expression of confusion.

"Here's the explanation! Let me explain it to you." Yuan Ni smiled faintly.

Whoosh!

All eyes present instantly fell on Yuan Ni's wrinkled face.

"Please, Ancestor, go ahead." Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi both showed a respectful expression.

They listened as Yuan Ni explained, "Inside a dragon's body, there is something called Dragon Essence. Since this woman is from the Nine Transition Dragon Clan, transforming into human form, it is clear she is a high-level being! Her Dragon Essence is absolutely powerful, pure, and perfect!"

"And the benefits of Dragon Essence for human cultivators are many; it can completely purify the impurities within your veins! Moreover, if the two of you absorb the Dragon Essence, your cultivation talent will surely reach a new pinnacle!"

"Furthermore, every part of a dragon is a treasure, whether it's the Dragon Bone, Dragon Tendon, Dragon Scale, Dragon Blood, Dragon Meat... all are rare treasures!"

"Tell me, isn't this dragon maiden offering herself on your wedding day a gift from heaven for you?" Yuan Ni chuckled.

"Really?"

Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi were ecstatic.

Their cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Ninth Rank Saint Emperor realm entirely due to their personal talent.

If they could enhance their talent with the Dragon Essence from Linglong, they might reach the Supreme Realm together in the future!

At this thought.

How could Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi not be thrilled?

"What? Dragon Essence!"

"Hiss!"

The bystanders were equally excited.

"I seem to have read in some ancient texts that Dragon Essence can cleanse and purify a person's system, removing body impurities! If a cultivator's body is purified, wouldn't their cultivation speed be a thousand miles a day?"

"Indeed! It's known that body impurities impede the flow of Spiritual Energy; if impurities are removed, cultivation can indeed be much faster!"

"Tsk, tsk! Truly a gift from the heavens! On the very day Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi are wed, a dragon appears!"

"The Nie Family and the Yuan Family will now rise to prominence!"

"It's unstoppable! They will absolutely rise!"

"..."

The chatter among the millions of guests surged like waves, one after another, continuously.

The voices reached the ears of Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi.

Their hearts were unbelievably excited, and their blood was boiling!

"If so, then let's immediately absorb her Dragon Essence!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Absorb it immediately!"

Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi couldn't wait another second!!!

"No rush, first wait until after you two are wed, at the auspicious time, and then absorb the Dragon Essence of this woman. Let all the guests present bear witness!" Nie Kun smiled faintly.

"Indeed! However, to keep this dragon maiden in check, haha! I suggest pulling out her Dragon Tendon first. Once a dragon loses its Dragon Tendon, it's nothing more than a worm, no matter how strong its powers are, it cannot overturn the world!" Yuan Ni smiled sinisterly.

The Dragon Tendon is like the backbone of a human!

Once your backbone is pulled out, you're no different from a paralyzed patient, how can you move?

No matter how strong your mana is, you will become a cripple.

And Yuan Ni's idea was to draw out Linglong's Dragon Tendon first!

The next second.

Under the watchful eyes of billions, Yuan Ni took action, pulling out a long spear, piercing it into Linglong's body!

"Aargh!!!"

Linglong wailed, her entire body trembling in agony.

Her Dragon Tendon was being pulled out!

At that moment, Linglong felt as if all the bones in her body were being broken, her whole body convulsed... Every inch of flesh, every bone, every piece of skin screamed in pain!

The excruciating pain was bone-deep, soul-deep, making one almost faint!

"You... won't... won't die a good death..." Linglong weakly uttered.

"Heh heh! Even near death, still spouting nonsense!" An ominous look quickly flashed across Yuan Ni's old face.

"Pfft!"

The long spear in Yuan Ni's hand forcefully twisted, pulling out a Dragon Tendon as thick as an adult's arm.

Blood spattered!

Like a fountain!

At the moment Linglong's Dragon Tendon was pulled from her body, she seemed as if her soul had been extracted!

"Ow..."

Linglong let out a low moan, tears glistening in her eyes.

But she held back and didn't let herself cry!

Besides Linglong, no one cared about her condition, everyone's eyes were fervently fixed on Linglong's Dragon Tendon.

The Dragon Tendon appeared crystalline, almost transparent!

However.

It exuded a powerful aura!

"Truly a treasure! Keep it safe!"

Yuan Ni's eyes lit up, and he stored the Dragon Tendon away.

Without the Dragon Tendon, Linglong was entirely pitiful, now in her true form, weak and lying prone on the ground, without any strength.

But.

Even so, Linglong's eyes remained fixed on Nie Shuang and Yuan Zi!

"What are you looking at? If you keep staring at me like that, I'll have someone gouge out your eyes! You're a prisoner, yet you dare look at me like this? Damn it!" Yuan Zi was a little angry.

Linglong's gaze made her feel uneasy, a chill running down her spine!

"Brother Nie Shuang, shall we have her eyes gouged out? I don't like the way she looks at me!" Yuan Zi suggested, leaning into Nie Shuang's embrace.

"Zi'er, let's wait! Let her watch us complete our wedding first, we're keeping her eyes so she can see us absorb her Dragon Essence while she herself cannot resist! I want to see the despair in her eyes as well! Haha, it's her fault for being associated with Lin Fan, isn't it?" Nie Shuang gently smiled, stroking Yuan Zi's pretty face.

To have your enemy watch you get married!

And then.

To see yourself reach the peak of your life—that's the most interesting, isn't it?
