My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 43 What Princess? Not My Concern!

The red leaves were fiery, raging through the maple forest.

A few breaths later...

Boom!

The massive dragon body crashed into the woods. Fear filled its crimson eyes as it gazed up at the dust-free young man holding a spear, standing in front of it.

Gu Lan stood still.

The Sky-Cutting Dragon Roar Spear was stuck in the soil, and it was hard to distinguish between the falling maple leaves and the dark dragon blood around.

"Make me pay a price?" Gu Lan shook his head indifferently.

The old dragon of King Realm was still too weak. Gu Lan hadn't even fully utilized the potential of his Hundred Birds Saluting the Phoenix Spear, and he had only just tested the knife.

There were already several large blood holes on the dragon's body, and it was battered and on its last breath!

"I really don't know how you ended up with a grudge against the Dragon Sovereign."

Gu Lan wondered aloud.

Rumors had it that the Dragon Sovereign was one of the few true Saint Stage beings among the alien races. How could such a level be provoked by a mere king-level?

The original plot had not explained the origin of this setting, so Gu Lan decided not to dwell on it. He lifted the Heaven-Defying Dragon Roar Spear and walked step by step towards the old dragon, as if an executioner approached a fish on the chopping block.

In the eyes of the dragon, Gu Lan's figure grew larger and more intimidating. Its heart trembled violently.

It regretted and felt like crying!

Wasn't this supposed to be a mere mortal?

It had bypassed the guards and even the nearby elders of the immortal sects, planning to kill and run away. Yet, in the end, it circled back to face the biggest boss!

The battle had only lasted a few rounds, but the pressure Gu Lan imposed on it was not inferior to that of the Dragon Sovereign back in the day. It far exceeded the dragon's understanding!

Seeing Gu Lan raise his spear, the old dragon couldn't help but snarl,

"Wait!"

"Human, I'm willing to exchange my life for a secret. This secret is known only to me in the current world, and it's about the whereabouts of the Dragon Clan princess!"

"That's why the Dragon Sovereign has been chasing me!"

Gu Lan, momentarily stunned, turned out to be because this creature was being hunted because of the Dragon Sovereign's daughter?

I knew it couldn't have a grudge with a Saint Stage being...

The dragon thought he had a chance when Gu Lan paused, and hope surged in its heart!

But then...

The Heaven-Defying Dragon Roar Spear pierced through its chest as easily as paper, blood gushing out like a waterfall!

The dragon was dumbfounded!

"Where the Dragon Sovereign's princess is and what it has to do with me?"

"Her secret is precious... but I'm not interested!"

Gu Lan looked at it inexplicably and casually put away his spear.

"Puff!"

A mouthful of black blood spurted out of the dragon's mouth. The light in its eyes gradually dimmed. This scourge to the mortal world finally became a corpse.

Watching the dragon corpse, Gu Lan swiftly put away the Heaven-Defying Dragon Roar Spear, flipped his palm, and the dazzling Primordial Sword appeared.

"I'll use the Heaven Treasure to dissect you, adding to your posthumous honor."

Gu Lan complained inwardly. He quickly dissected the dragon's corpse three times, taking out some better-quality meat and storing it in the system space.

Gu Lan, being resourceful, naturally didn't want to waste anything. This evil dragon had devoured countless people, so being devoured by someone else was considered karma and retribution.

"But why do I always feel a bit disgusted?"

Gu Lan looked at the pile of rotten meat, slightly wrinkling his brow. "Oh well, I'll bring it back as a drink for Old Yang..."

Having made up his mind, Gu Lan was about to get up.

However, a round and plump bead slipped out of the corpse.

"A demon pill?"

Gu Lan picked it up without hesitation, his eyes lighting up.

This was a good thing!

If the attributes matched, it would be an excellent material to improve spiritual roots and physique!

Gu Lan's thoughts stirred, and a surge of spiritual energy activated the demonic core. Instantly, a faint red light emanated from the demonic core.

"It's actually of the fire attribute!"

Gu Lan felt delighted. The Marvelous Yang Immortal Body was just a tiny step away from improvement, and the True Dragon's Blood was not quite enough. This demonic core seemed to be the perfect supplement!

Things don't always go as planned. Without hesitation, Gu Lan immediately crossed his legs and began absorbing it, sitting on the ground in the maple forest where the autumn wind brushed through.

The fallen leaves rustled, and the youth sat in tranquility.

Suddenly, in a fleeting moment, the Yang Pulse Blood within Gu Lan's body, absorbed by the Fire Dragon Demonic Core, triggered a deep dragon roar that resonated throughout the Maple Leaf Valley!

Even the Heaven-Defying Dragon Roar Spear stored in the spatial dimension seemed to respond, its translucent and jade-like spear body shaking continuously.

"I finally improved my physique!"

Gu Lan opened his eyes and genuinely smiled. Ever since he witnessed Lin Tan'er's Ice Phoenix Demon Body for the first time, he knew how crucial innate physique was! It had a significant impact on cultivation speed, spiritual root comprehension, and Destiny battle strength, affecting all aspects of cultivation.

[Marvelous Yang Immortal Body→Dragon Yang Saint Body]

[Destiny Capacity: 20,000/50,000]

Now, he had a Saint Body, and the capacity to harbor Destiny had increased by almost two-fold. Gu Lan, satisfied with the result, nodded approvingly.

At this moment, Gu Lan stood up, intending to return home to harvest some Destiny with Lin Tan'er.

However, after the demonic core was fully absorbed, Gu Lan suddenly saw a blue fragment floating in his mind, seemingly... the memories of the old dragon in its lifetime!

Only profound memories of a demon would be preserved along with the demonic core after its death.

With curiosity, Gu Lan opened the memories.

Instantly, several images appeared one after another!

One of them showed a gracefully elegant woman with blue hair, sporting a pair of exquisite dragon horns on her head. Under the coercion of several king-level demons, including the old dragon, she leaped into a bottomless abyss.

The abyss was filled with dead and lifeless trees, an unfamiliar sight to Gu Lan. However, this was the Dragon Sovereign's daughter? The only princess of the Dragon Clan? She looked impressive...

Unfortunately, the chances of survival after such a jump were slim. Gu Lan sighed and didn't pay much attention, moving on to the next few images.

He had no interest in some of them, but as he reached the last one, Gu Lan's eyes lit up!

It was Tuoba Mo!

It was the scene of Tuoba Mo bidding farewell to the old dragon this morning.

Gu Lan wasn't as foolish as the old dragon. Hearing Tuoba Mo's words in the image, he knew that this guy must have sold out the old dragon!

Waiting there?

Only an idiot would believe that. How could someone so naive survive in any royal family? Now, Tuoba Mo must be desperately heading towards Great Yu...

Realizing all this, a faint smile appeared on Gu Lan's lips. "I found out about this... Alas, blame your bad luck."

Gu Lan turned around, and in the fiery red maple forest, a faint voice echoed:

"At this moment, I'm right in front of Tuoba Mo."

...

At this time, Tuoba Mo had already passed through the checkpoint of Langzhou Iron Cavalry. In half an hour, he ran towards the direction of Great Yu as if his life depended on it!

The embroidered cloud boots he wore when he came were nowhere to be found, and his clothes were tattered. He looked like he wouldn't even be considered a beggar, let alone a noble of the royal family!

However, even so, as Tuoba Mo looked back at the contours of Langzhou city that were no longer visible, a face covered in mud revealed an extremely satisfied smile!

"A bunch of idiots still want to catch me?!"

"When I go back and report to my father, reorganize the troops, I will definitely return to slaughter Langzhou city!"

Tuoba Mo resented bitterly, his face twisted.

In his mind, Gu Lan's figure appeared.

Thinking that Gu Lan's few words had ruined all his plans, Tuoba Mo wished he could kill him immediately and claim his woman!

However, as he walked.

Tuoba Mo felt that his hatred might be too deep. He started to have hallucinations in front of his eyes...

Otherwise, how could there be a familiar figure in the distance, wearing a green robe and seemingly waiting for him?
