Chapter 142: Expect the Unexpected

However, the stone dragon did not care about whether there was any enmity between them. Its huge body actually directly fell from the stone pillar and came directly in front of Gu Xi.

“There is a familiar smell on your body.”

The people of the Demon Region were somewhat dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them. They did not why the stone dragon would treat him differently.

Gu Xi remained calm and did not sense any killing intent from the stone dragon. Only then did her tensed body slowly relax.

The stone dragon fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking about. Mei Qianmeng and the others did not dare to disturb him.

After a while, the stone dragon opened his mouth and said, “Since I’ve already made an exception, I’ll give you an opportunity based on this familiar smell.”

Hearing this, Mei Qianmeng immediately had a bad premonition.

In the next second, she heard the stone dragon announce, “There’s only one Dragon Ball. Those who are fated will know.”

Other than the strange fragment on Gu Xi’s body, there was also Little Jin. It was possible that Little Jin had gone through the System, as well as the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, and also became a member of the dragon race. This was why the Stone Dragon felt that there was a familiar scent on Gu Xi’s body.

Mei Qianmeng’s heart fell to the bottom of the valley, “Senior, you didn’t say that before.”

Originally, she was alone, but now she had an additional competitor. It was the kind of situation where she did not know how strong GU Xi was, which added a bit of change to the situation.

“I didn’t promise you anything before. I only gave you an opportunity on account of the Dragon Stone. At the same time, I can also give this opportunity to others.”

However, the stone dragon did not buy it. Instead, he said matter-of-factly, “Little girl, it’s already good enough that you have this opportunity. If you don’t want to, you can leave right now.”

Mei Qianmeng’s expression changed slightly, but she did not dare to say anything else. She was afraid that she would incur the stone dragon’s displeasure, but she secretly blamed Gu Xi for this.

If it was not for him, such a thing would not have happened. It would be fine if she successfully obtained the Dragon Ball, but what if she could not obtain it?!

Mei Qianmeng’s gaze landed on Gu Xi’s body. Her beautiful eyes were ice-cold and carried a hint of warning. If Gu Xi was tactful, he would leave on his own. Otherwise…

Gu Xi knew that the Dragon Ball was extremely valuable. After all, it was a supreme treasure of the dragon race. Moreover, the stone dragon had said earlier that it was extremely difficult to obtain it. It was likely that the dangers involved were far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.

However, the Dragon Ball was not of much use to him now. So what if he obtained it? There was still Mei Qianmeng watching from the side like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Just as Gu Xi was hesitating, Little Jin in the Spirit Beast Space became more active than ever.

Could it be that Little Jin wanted the Dragon Ball?

Thinking that Little Jin had also transformed into a dragon, this Dragon Ball should be beneficial to it. Gu Xi nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll participate too!”

The moment her voice fell, Mei Qianmeng’s expression became extremely ugly.

She was somewhat unwilling. Even if she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She could not directly go against the stone dragon. Who knows, she might even let Gu Xi take advantage of her.

The divine dragon swung its tail, and a sudden sound rang out, startling everyone.

Crack–

The door that had not moved at all before was now pushed open. It was foggy inside. It was probably set up with a powerful prohibition, and no one knew what was inside.

“You guys can go in.”

No wonder Mei Qianmeng had been unable to open the door after using all sorts of methods. It seemed that only the stone dragon could control this door.

A vast and ethereal aura came through the crack in the door. Gu Xi and Mei Qianmeng only hesitated for a moment before walking in.

Gu Xi had thought that there would be some ferocious demonic beasts or a powerful and terrifying formation inside. However, he knew to expect the unexpected.

After walking in, he realized that this was actually an empty space. There was nothing in his sight and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. It was as if he was the only person left in the world.

In just a few breaths, the air beside him distorted, and soon, a slender figure appeared. It was Mei Qianmeng.

She walked towards Gu Xi and smiled sweetly, making her look even more charming. It made people lower their guard subconsciously, and she said softly, “There was a misunderstanding earlier, and I apologize to Young Master Gu here.”

After saying that, she even bowed slightly. Her soft waist was like a weak willow, making people feel pity for her. Even a person with a heart of stone would be able to resolve a big misunderstanding after seeing such a gesture from Mei Qianmeng.

However, Gu Xi was not an ordinary person. She sized up Mei Qianmeng and did not know what she was up to.

“You’re too kind, Holy Maiden.”

Mei Qianmeng walked up with a charming smile. Her snow-white wrist was about to climb onto Gu Xi’s body. Seeing the beauty throw herself into her arms, Gu Xi not only remained unmoved. He even took a few steps back as if she was hiding from a ferocious beast.

Mei Qianmeng missed, and her wrist stopped awkwardly in midair. She could not believe that there was someone who could escape her charm.

One had to know that her beauty could topple cities, not to mention that she practiced the Heavenly Demon Technique. As her cultivation increased, her every move displayed the power of charm. Whether it was in the Demon Region or the righteous path, her reputation was well-known.

Although those Righteous cultivators called her a demoness, they could not resist the charm of the Heavenly Demon Technique. Without exception, they all fell for her.

However, now, she had been defeated by Gu Xi time and time again. Her expression changed slightly, but she quickly recovered

“It’s fate that we can meet here. Now that we’ve broken through the formation together, we should help each other. This Dragon Ball is extremely important to me. Ordinary people won’t be able to use it to its full potential.”

“If you can help me and let me get the Dragon Ball, the Demon Region will definitely reward you with treasures of equal value.”

Mei Qianmeng spoke with sincerity, as if she really wanted to cooperate with Gu Xi.

Gu Xi looked at the beautiful face in front of him, but he knew that the soul under this beauty’s skin was not as harmless as it appeared.

Now that Mei Qianmeng knew that he was just pretending, how could she not take action? It was just that it was not easy to make a move here.
