Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 92: Qian Qian Bai’s Request

Lin Xuan was truly stunned; he didn’t expect Bai Qian Qian to make such a request.

"Tell me, when did you start liking me?" Lin Xuan asked.

Bai Qian Qian’s face instantly flushed crimson. She stomped her foot and said, "Aiya, it’s not like that! It’s just a pretend relationship."

What, pretend? Lin Xuan was dumbfounded once again.

Ignoring her blushing face, Bai Qian Qian raised her head and spoke quickly. "My family has arranged a marriage for me. The other party is a young master from an Alchemy Clan."

"But this person has a terrible reputation. He frequently harasses respectable women and commits all sorts of evil deeds. He’s a notorious bully."

"How could I possibly marry someone like that?"

"But the other party’s status is extraordinary, so my family won’t agree if I refuse him directly."

"That’s why I need to find a partner, to show everyone that I’m not single anymore."

"This way, my family should stop trying to force me into a marriage alliance with him."

Lin Xuan’s eyes widened in understanding. So that’s how it is!

He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I’ll help you this one time."

"That’s wonderful! Lin Xuan, thank you so much!" Bai Qian Qian was overjoyed.

To be honest, she had been trying to find a pretend partner for a while but hadn’t found a suitable candidate. The person had to be a young, peerless prodigy with an equally impressive status. Only then could he scare off that tyrannical young master and make him back down.

Lin Xuan was a perfect fit. First, he had become the Rookie King at a young age and was ranked first on the Celestial Ranking, making him a definitive top-tier genius. On top of that, Lin Xuan was now a famous figure at the Heavenly Dao Academy, and no one would dare to make a move against him.

So, Bai Qian Qian felt Lin Xuan was perfectly suitable for the role.

Since Lin Xuan had agreed, Bai Qian Qian said, "Let’s set out now."

Lin Xuan was surprised. "So soon?"

Bai Qian Qian nodded. "There’s a gathering soon attended by Noble Disciples from all the major families. That tyrannical young master will be there. I’ll take you to the banquet so he can see you and back off."

Bai Qian Qian took out a Token, walked over to the window, and waved it toward the sky. The Token emitted a mysterious glow.

Lin Xuan was still wondering what she was doing when a dark shadow appeared on the horizon. Soon, the shadow flew rapidly closer, growing into a colossal figure as it approached. Its arrival was accompanied by a powerful gust of wind.

"A Demon Beast!" Lin Xuan exclaimed, his body tensing up at the sight of the extremely terrifying creature.

Bai Qian Qian, however, simply waved her hand. "Don’t worry. His name is Xiao Hei, and he’s a Black Feathered Eagle. He’s my flying mount. Come on up."

With that, her figure flickered, and she leaped onto the Black Feathered Eagle’s back.

Lin Xuan was astonished. This Demon Beast was actually a flying mount, which was truly incredible. It seems Bai Qian Qian’s family background is extraordinary. He could sense that this was a Grandmaster-level Demon Beast. In Cloud Sea City, a Grandmaster was powerful enough to be the Clan Leader of a Noble Family. Yet, for Bai Qian Qian, such a being was merely a mount. The Bai Family’s status must be truly remarkable.

Lin Xuan also jumped onto the Black Feathered Eagle.

Bai Qian Qian waved her hand and said, "Let’s go, to Celestial Fire City."

The Black Feathered Eagle let out a roar. With a powerful flap of its wings, it stirred up a gale and soared into the distance.

This gathering was not in Yun Province, but in Celestial Fire City, located in Fire Province. Fire Province was quite far from Yun Province; under normal circumstances, the journey would take ten to fifteen days. But now, riding the Black Feathered Eagle, they could arrive in just half a day. It was undeniably fast.

「Half a day later.」

The Black Feathered Eagle landed outside Celestial Fire City.

"Xiao Hei, go wait in the nearby forest for now," Bai Qian Qian said with a wave of her hand. The Black Feathered Eagle immediately spread its wings and flew off.

Bai Qian Qian then turned to Lin Xuan and said, "Let’s go."

The two of them entered Celestial Fire City. The city was vast, far larger than Cloud Sea City. It seemed its status was comparable to Azure Cloud City, making it a core city. However, unlike Azure Cloud City, Celestial Fire City was filled with a scorching heat that permeated the very air.

Bai Qian Qian explained, "Fire Province has a massive number of Flame Spiritual Veins, and these veins have produced many Spiritual Fires. That’s why Fire Province possesses such strong Flame Power, and why the temperature here is so high. There are also many Alchemy Masters here since alchemy requires flames, and Fire Province has all different kinds. Many people also come here searching for Spiritual Fires."

"Oh, by the way, you’re an Alchemy Master too, right? If you ever want a Spiritual Fire in the future, you can come explore Fire Province."

Lin Xuan was immensely surprised. Is Fire Province really that amazing?

After a moment of thought, he nodded and said, "I really will need a Spiritual Fire in the future."

Although Lin Xuan was an Alchemy Master, he hadn’t mastered control over a specific flame; he relied on Earth Vein Fire for alchemy. This meant he could only practice alchemy in specific locations. People like Zhao Feiyan, on the other hand, had mastered their own Spiritual Fire. This kind of flame could not only be used for alchemy but also for attacks, making it incredibly versatile. Lin Xuan knew he truly needed to acquire a few Spiritual Fires of his own.

But first things first, he had to resolve Bai Qian Qian’s situation.

Soon, the two entered the very lively Celestial Fire City.

As Lin Xuan was curiously looking around, wanting to see how different this place was from Cloud Sea City, his hand suddenly felt warm. He was stunned and turned his head to see Bai Qian Qian shyly looking down.

"Since we’re pretending to be partners, we naturally have to be a bit more intimate!" she mumbled. "Don’t overthink it, okay?"

Lin Xuan froze for a moment. Bai Qian Qian was already a peerless beauty, but now, with her cheeks flushed red as she shyly lowered her head, she possessed an even more delicate and bashful charm. Lin Xuan’s heart hammered in his chest. He swallowed hard. Calm down, calm down.

The two of them walked hand in hand toward a manor.

After passing through the bustling downtown area, the crowds gradually thinned out, and the surroundings grew quieter. After walking a bit further, a manor appeared ahead. It was extremely spacious, surrounded by gardens and shaded by lush green trees. As Lin Xuan got closer, he saw a plaque inscribed with four words: Green Willow Manor. It was truly an excellent place for leisure and escaping the summer heat.

The two of them walked into Green Willow Manor. The layout inside was very elegant, with exquisite pavilions and winding corridors. After passing through several courtyards, a large hall came into view.

Many figures were gathered inside the hall, and bursts of lively chatter drifted out from within. Lin Xuan looked over curiously and saw that they were all young men and women. All of them were sharp and possessed exceptional demeanors.

As Lin Xuan and Bai Qian Qian approached, the people inside the hall noticed them.

Someone turned around and said in surprise, "Oh, Fairy Bai is here!"

As soon as he spoke, many people turned their heads to look. One person even approached with a smile, saying, "I’ve long heard of Fairy Bai’s fame; it truly precedes you. To meet you today is an honor that lasts three lifetimes."

Another person laughed. "Qian Qian, you’re even prettier than before!"

Someone else complained, "Qian Qian, we invited you to the last gathering, but you didn’t come. I thought you weren’t going to show up this time either!"

"Hey, who is this?"

As these Noble Disciples drew closer, they suddenly realized that Bai Qian Qian had not come alone. There was a young man standing beside her.

And the two of them were even holding hands.

Damn it, who is this guy?
