"Wait a little longer," Gu Ran replied.
At this moment, the protagonist, who had been immersed in her dream, suddenly woke up. She pulled out a sawed-off hunting rifle and pointed it at Zhao Xuzhen's head: "Zhao Xuzhen, let go of my husband!"
Zhao Xuzhen seemed surprised that Jiang Wanzhi would wake up. He knew that if he killed Bai Shanglu now, Jiang Wanzhi would definitely kill him.
Therefore, he loosened his grip.
Bai Shanglu was finally able to breathe again. He glanced at Jiang Wanzhi and saw that her face was delicate and cold, as if she were ice.
"He's your husband, and who am I to you?" Zhao Xuzhen asked Jiang Wanzhi.
"I don't care what you are, don't ask me."
"So you didn't enter the dream at all? You came to the wedding with a gun to kill me?"
"I'm not trying to kill you. Do you expect me to play a super-realistic pretend game with you?" Jiang Wanzhi said menacingly.
Bai Shanglu then discovered his wife's violent side. It seemed that she, like Old Man Jiang, had also drunk the potent drug, thus completely unleashing her bloodline.
David Chiang and his daughter Ivana Chiang regularly take medication to suppress their bloodline. The medication constricts blood vessels, keeping David Chiang in a less excited state.
The Tiger and Wolf Medicine, on the other hand, can release their long-suppressed bloodline.
Before attending the wedding, David Chiang had taken a potent drug, as had Ivana Chiang.
“I traveled all the way from England to marry you, and even bought half of Yangcheng Lake as a dowry, and you actually want me dead?” Zhao Xuzhen stared at Jiang Wanzhi.
"Get this straight, our land belongs to the collective. You're just contracting it, not buying it, understand?" Jiang Wanzhi still had the mood to argue with him. "Also, are you marrying me or my womb? If that thing could be removed, I'd just rip it off and give it to you, as long as your Solomon Temple doesn't bother my family anymore!"
Zhao Xuzhen said, "We will share the same surname, share the same glory, and together we will give birth to great lives. What could be more sacred than this?"
"My husband's surname is Bai, keep your surname safe, I don't care!" Jiang Wanzhi exuded domineering confidence.
"Do you think you can smash my head with just a hunting rifle?" Zhao Xuzhen asked with a sneer.
“Of course I know I’ll need an alchemical bullet to kill you, but even that might not be enough. However…” Jiang Wanzhi suddenly pointed the gun at her own head, “This thing should be more than enough to smash my own head. Without my head, my uterus will be useless, and you won’t be able to reproduce a super hybrid. Want to give it a try?”
"No!" Zhao Xuzhen said.
"No!" Bai Shanglu also stopped him, "Put down the gun!"
Jiang Wanzhi glared at Bai Shanglu: "Are you stupid? Do you even know what kind of monster that is? Why did you come to save me?!"
Bai Shanglu asked, "If I were a coward, only capable of shedding tears and lacking even the courage to come here, would you be disappointed?"
Jiang Wanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Then I would indeed be somewhat disappointed."
"So I couldn't not come; I couldn't let my wife look down on me," Bai Shanglu said.
Zhao Xuzhen felt somewhat embarrassed watching the young couple flirting and joking as if he didn't exist.
He stared at Jiang Wanzhi: "Have you thought this through? You've betrayed the organization. Is it worth it for an ordinary person like her?"
Chapter 596 The Dragon-Slaying Platform Appears
“We were classmates, and we can be considered friends, but if you give me a way out, I’ll have no choice but to take a dead end.” Jiang Wanzhi pulled a long knife from her waist. “Let go of my husband!”
Zhao Xuzhen asked, "How do I know that if I let him go, you will put down your gun?"
Jiang Wanzhi said, "I am a vulnerable group. Everyone here is your person. I have no choice but to use myself to threaten you."
Zhao Xuzhen stopped talking nonsense and suddenly threw Bai Shanglu behind him. Then, he immediately engaged in a fierce battle with Jiang Wanzhi.
Bai Shanglu fell far behind, watching the fight between a man and a woman.
Both sides had their share of wins and losses. Jiang Wanzhi cut Zhao Xuzhen with a knife, while Zhao Xuzhen also hit Jiang Wanzhi several times with a baton.
However, as the fight continued, Zhao Xuzhen gradually gained the upper hand. Although Jiang Wanzhi was attacking with a knife, Zhao Xuzhen defended with ease using a baton.
Furthermore, he knew Jiang Wanzhi's weakness: she had a habitual dislocation of one ankle, so he kept targeting her foot.
Then Jiang Wanzhi was at a disadvantage, constantly being whipped by Zhao Xuzhen with his baton, just like whipping a disobedient mare in a stable.
Bai Shanglu felt sorry for his wife and shouted, "Don't hit my wife! Don't hit my wife!"
But no one paid any attention to him.
At this moment, Isabel seemed to want to stand up, but Gu Ran calmly pulled her back.
He texted her wrist: "Don't rush, don't rush, don't rush."
Because David Chiang woke up.
Because of the struggle between Jiang Wanzhi and Zhao Xuzhen, Zhao Xuzhen's control over the power of words was reduced, so Old Man Jiang and Zhou Minhao finally broke out of the dream.
Both of them were furious at this moment, because the dream created by Zhao Xuzhen was the softest spot in their hearts. Anyone would be angry if their soft spot was exposed to a stranger for no reason.
David Chiang stared intently at Susanna, because Susanna had just been playing the role of his deceased wife, who was also Ivana Chiang's mother, and this had touched a nerve with him.
After Zhou Minhao stood up, he first glanced at Gu Ran and the other two. He found that their eyes were glazed over and they seemed to still be trapped in the illusion. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the bloodline of these three was not very good.
He walked past Susanna and looked at Zhao Xuzhen, saying, "I am Zhou Minhao from the Zhou family of China. Bai Shanglu and Jiang Wanzhi are protected by our Zhou family. If your Solomon Temple doesn't know what's good for you, then you're making an enemy of our Zhou family."
Susanna tried to stop Zhou Minhao, but David Jiang grabbed a bottle and smashed it. He stared at Susanna with a fierce look, ready to attack her if she made any further moves.
Bai Shanglu actually had a vague understanding of both the Solomon Temple Society and the Zhou family, which seemed like forces that only existed in novels.
Zhao Xu frowned upon hearing this: "Has the Zhou family's influence extended to Kunshan as well?"
Zhou Minhao sneered: "Your Solomon Temple Society's reach extends from England to here, isn't it longer than mine?"
"Jiang Wanzhi is not a member of your Zhou family."
“But they are my friends,” Zhou Minhao said proudly. “When friends are in trouble, the Zhou family will help.”
Bai Shanglu didn't really like Zhou Minhao before because he was pretentious. Some people like to mix English into their Chinese when they speak, but Zhou Minhao likes to mix classical Chinese into his speech.
But now he realizes that Zhou Minhao is actually very loyal.
"Zhou Minhao, save my wife first!" Bai Shanglu shouted.
"Don't rush, take your time, everything will be explained." Zhou Minhao calmly walked towards the stage.
Meanwhile, David Chiang had already started fighting with Susanna and began violently dismantling the pleasure boat.
Zhao Xuzhen's bodyguards came over to stop Zhou Minhao; they could feel his aura.
Zhou Minhao removed the bundle from his back, and everyone then discovered that he was carrying a large broadsword, bigger than Yang Guo's Xuan Tie Heavy Sword. It was a ring-pommel sword with an ancient bronze chain around the pommel. The hilt and chain looked quite old, but the scabbard was new, wrapped with a finger-thick red rope.
When the bodyguards rushed over, Zhou Minhao swung his greatsword to strike them. He didn't draw the sword; he just used it like a club.
The bodyguards are of strong lineage, and each of them can use incantations; they chant dragon script to guide the elements.
But when Zhou Minhao struck the black scabbard with his hand, the broadsword immediately let out a low growl, interrupting the bodyguards' incantation. Then, the broadsword swung, and in no time, it knocked all the bodyguards into the water.
"This is... an alchemical weapon?" Isabel signaled to Gu Ran in surprise, "It can actually interrupt incantations!"
Victoria was also shocked at this moment, thinking that the alchemical weapons of the East were truly mysterious and unpredictable.
Zhao Xuzhen stared at the greatsword: "Is this the legendary Dragon Slayer Platform?"
“Since you know about the Dragon-Slaying Platform, that makes things easier,” Zhou Minhao said calmly. “The Dragon-Slaying Platform is a token of our Zhou family, representing the attitude of our elders. This is not something I want to handle, but something my elders want to handle.”
He continued, “If you leave now, I will not pursue you, but when you go back, please tell your Grand Master of the Solomon Temple Society that the ancient Eastern country should come here less often in the future, and you cannot buy the land here even if you have the money.”
Taking advantage of the moment the two were talking, Jiang Wanzhi leaped and landed next to Bai Shanglu.
The couple were finally reunited.
Zhao Xuzhen tried to control the couple, but Zhou Minhao found an opening and struck first, moving quickly to Zhao Xuzhen's side and punching him.
Zhou Minhao's fists were engulfed in flames as he charged straight at Zhao Xuzhen; to the naked eye, all one could see was a burst of fire.
But Zhao Xuzhen simply turned slightly to the side to dodge Zhou Minhao's attack, and then delivered a powerful knee kick to Zhou Minhao's chest.
So, Zhou Minhao, who had been so fierce just moments before, was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing into a roof.
"He's only cool for five seconds!" Gu Ran muttered.
Five seconds later, Zhou Minhao emerged from the ruins carrying the Dragon-Slaying Platform, looking at Zhao Xuzhen with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect your bloodline to be this strong!"
Zhao Xuzhen stared intently at Zhou Minhao's Dragon-Slaying Platform, as if it were the greatest threat.
“Zhou Minhao has a strong bloodline, but he is up against a man-made monster like Zhao Xuzhen,” Jiang Wanzhi sighed.
"Is Zhao Xuzhen man-made?" Bai Shanglu asked.
Jiang Wanzhi explained: "The organization has always allowed specific mixed-race individuals to breed in order to produce outstanding offspring. Zhao Xuzhen is the product of hundreds of years of bloodline accumulation, and the advantages of more than ten generations of mixed-race individuals are concentrated in him."
“Isn’t this just like breeders mate cats?” Bai Shanglu replied.
“Yes, the stray dog ran away with the best kitten from the cattery, so of course the cattery owner had to kill the stray dog. The kitten didn’t want the stray dog to die, so it had no choice but to cooperate and try to get back to the cattery.” Jiang Wanzhi gave a bunch of analogies, and finally said, “That’s why I divorced you before.”
Bai Shanglu knew that without a home, he was like a stray dog.
He hugged Jiang Wanzhi tightly: "Why did the kitten run off with the stray dog? They're not from the same world."
"Because the little female cat likes the little dog." Jiang Wanzhi smiled and touched his face.
Bai Shanglu was touched: "Even puppies like kittens."
“Of course the kitten knows,” Jiang Wanzhi said with a faint smile. “But the puppy seems unsure and doesn’t believe the kitten likes the puppy.”
While the two were flirting, Zhou Minhao clashed with Zhao Xuzhen again, but he was defeated each time.
Moreover, Zhao Xuzhen's anger intensified when he saw Jiang Wanzhi and Bai Shanglu being affectionate and oblivious to everyone else, putting Zhou Minhao under even more pressure.
Now, Zhou Minhao's once well-dressed suit is tattered and torn.
He glared at the two of them, annoyed: "You two have time to stand there and flaunt your love, but haven't you thought about making a quick getaway? Even if you're not going to run away, at least don't give each other a buff!"
Jiang Wanzhi then realized what was happening: "Xiaobai, you go quickly, I'll hold them off."
"Your ankle is broken, you need steel nails, how can you fight anymore?" Bai Shanglu was anxious, but then calmed down and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Old Man Jiang and I will ask Jin Zhengxi to send someone over."
“They can’t get here,” Jiang Wanzhi sighed. “They can’t possibly get through the fog.”
“Kim Jung-seok has an invitation,” Bai Shanglu said.
“One invitation is not enough. A speedboat can only carry about ten people. Ten or so ordinary people coming here won’t make a difference.”
Just as Jiang Wanzhi finished speaking, the famous suona tune "A Flower" suddenly came from behind her.
So everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large ship carrying about a hundred people, led by Kim Jung-seok.
Kim Jung-seok apparently hired a theatrical troupe to perform in the back, creating a magnificent spectacle.
