Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Cold
 

It has to be said that people in the Wuxia world love to drink heartily and eat large amounts of meat.

This table of people is like that too!

Even Huo Shuyu, delicate as a porcelain doll, has one leg resting on a stool, one hand holding meat, and the other holding a wine glass.

Truly the style of a Wuxia boss.

This gathering was in honor of welcoming the newcomer, Jiang Xiaobai. Everyone was having a great time drinking, and they tried vigorously to get Jiang Xiaobai drunk.

In short, it was a satisfying meal.

Early the next morning, when Jiang Xiaobai stepped out from his room, the others were already busy packing up.

Indeed, they planned to leave Bright Moon City.

They needed to take with them whatever they could. This place, they probably wouldn’t return to.

Jiang Xiaobai also pitched in to help, in the meantime, learned that they were delivering goods to a small village.

In the escort service, the rule is, without asking reasons, to only take business.

Where they deliver and what they deliver, as long as they get paid, they ask no further.

And according to White Cat, the next stop, a small village, was not far from their current location. After yesterday’s incident with Gu Yulin, they just decided to move on.

While they were packing, suddenly, over a dozen figures appeared at the entrance of the courier agency.

Among them, five had the auras of those at the Peak of the Late Integration Stage.

And the one leading the group was none other than Gu Yulin!

Upon seeing her, everyone startled and tension filled the room.

Gu Yulin, still concealed behind her veil, surveyed them all coldly, finally resting her gaze on Jiang Xiaobai.

“You, come here.”

Jiang Xiaobai frowned, thinking for a while, before deciding to go.

If she insisted on the jewelry, he could simply hand it to her for the time being, without involving anyone else.

Later, he could find a chance to retrieve it.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was about to proceed, White Cat held him back by putting a hand on his shoulder, then stepped forward himself.

“Hehe, Miss Gu, what brings you here so early?” White Cat’s attitude was very sincere and respectful.

“Hmph, White Cat, you do have some wits, but your underlings don’t have any sense of proportion at all.”

A muscular man next to Gu Yulin sneered, “Get lost! The lady asked for that guy, not you. Do you understand?”

“You!”

White Cat gritted his teeth, clenching his fist, but dared not say more.

Since The Gu Family’s reach was not something their courier agency could trifle with, at least not now!

“Be cautious and try to avoid conflict. But we are not afraid either!”

“Anyway, we’re barefoot and don’t fear those with shoes. Worst come to worst, we can just run. It’s not like we have nowhere else to go.”

The redhead’s warning carried secret to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai, having only known these people for a day, was indeed surprised that they could go so far.

They were truly authentic.

Then, he walked forward, “Tell me, what do you want?”

“The jewelry, hand it over.”

Gu Yulin chuckled, immensely enjoying her lofty position of superiority, her eyes were filled with arrogance.

She enjoyed everybody in Bright Moon City bowing to her.

“Here you go.”

Jiang Xiaobai briskly took out the jewelry but didn’t hand it over right away, coldly laughing, “Think it over. My things aren’t so easily taken.”

Instantly, Gu Yulin narrowed her eyes.

“You mongrel, you must have some nerve to dare to threaten me!”

Then, an intimidating aura emitted from the men behind her and washed over them.

But Jiang Xiaobai ignored it altogether, with a face full of cold ridicule: “Since Miss Gu likes it, take it.”

He tossed the item over but Gu Yulin didn’t catch it, allowing the jewelry to fall to the ground.

Jiang Xiaobai’s brows instantly knitted.

“Pick it up, hand it to me. Personally.”

“Otherwise, you, the courier agency, will pay double this month. And as of today, none of you are leaving here.”

Gu Yulin scoffed relentlessly.

The face she lost in the shop yesterday; she was determined to regain it all today!

“Miss Gu, one should give people some leeway when they could. Don’t be too absolute, leave some room for maneuver,” White Cat said through gritted teeth.

“You’re worthy?”

Gu Yulin sneered incessantly, “If you can’t accept that, let’s see whether your courier service is more daring, or, my Gu family’s fists are harder!”

“You!”

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly lifted his hand, cold smile on his face, and nodded.

“Alright, whatever pleases Miss Gu.”

Having said that, he actually bent down to pick up the item from the ground. He was extremely displeased with such action, but he had no choice.

He was not the same as White Cat and the others!

He could leave any time now, but what about White Cat? Though they had a bit of influence, they were not a match for The Gu Family. Involvement would mean trouble; they would have no future here.

There was no need to implicate them because of him.

Anyway, this was the first time Jiang Xiaobai personally experienced what it was like to struggle in the Wuxia world.

This was something not available in the Tianxuan Continent.

After all, almost everyone on the Tianxuan Continent was his enemy. Aside from resisting, he had no other options.

But in the Star Punishment World, it was a different story, hence settling matters nicely was not a problem.

The subsequent experience could benefit his state of mind and his growth.

Where is it written that you always have to be tough?

Haven’t you seen how those ever-dominant unchallenged figures get stepped on like stepping stones by others?

Jiang Xiaobai handed the picked-up jewelry to Gu Yulin. From her eyes, he could see a look of mockery and triumph.

“Wait for it. The price of taking my stuff, will be dire,” Jiang Xiaobai sneered internally.

“You are sensible. Because of Qiu Zhen’s intervention yesterday, I won’t make a fuss about it.”

“I do like your attitude today.”

“However, if there’s a next time, bear the consequences.”

Gu Yulin, satisfied, finally left with a final cold sneer, while playing with the jewelry in her hand.

Jiang Xiaobai, watching her retreating figure, had a flash of icy coldness in his eyes.

He no longer wanted the jewelry!

Could he present it to Ao Yan after it had been touched by such a woman?

“Alright, Jiang Bai, we can’t help much on this matter. We can only endure it a little,” White Cat sighed. “But you’ve got it, you’ve already grasped how to navigate in this world?”

Jiang Xiaobai gave a slight laugh without saying much and continued packing.

However, catching a glimpse of Huo Shuyu’s gaze, Jiang Xiaobai was startled. For, within her indifferent eyes, there lay a hint of disdain.

“Whatever.”

Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaobai said no more. Soon the employer arrived at the courier service and handed a storage ring to White Cat.

The two of them exchanged a few words. Subsequently, White Cat called for everyone to get ready to start, while he stored the ring safely.

Finally having finished packing, everyone set off.

As they exited the city gate, Jiang Xiaobai looked back at the gate of Bright Moon City and gave a wry smile.
