Chapter 8

Chen Tiangui held the handkerchief in his hand, sniffed it, and muttered to himself, "Strange, could it be that this handkerchief isn't the one Zhao Luan lost? Otherwise, why would the smell be different?"

Looking at the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, Chen Tiangui clearly couldn't bear to part with it. A sly smile appeared on his lips. "No matter, even if it's not Zhao Luan's little beauty's, it must belong to some other beauty. I'll keep it for now; maybe I'll meet the owner of this handkerchief someday... hehe!"

Chen Tiangui's face was full of a lecherous smile, and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, completely unaware that his every move had been seen by someone else.

In the depths of the dark cave, there was a hidden niche large enough to accommodate four or five people. At this moment, three people were nervously watching Chen Tiangui by the pond.

If Chen Tiangui could see these three people, he would certainly recognize them. One of the slender figures was none other than Zhao Luan, who had bewitched him. The other two, if seen by Chen Tiangui, would surely make him exclaim in surprise—they were Zhao Feng and Zhao Shuo, who were supposed to be out at sea fishing.

Zhao Luan's thin undergarment, soaked by the water, clung tightly to her body, revealing her well-developed figure. However, neither Zhao Luan nor Zhao Shuo paid attention to this. They were both tense and excited, watching Chen Tiangui standing outside the cave.

Zhao Shuo clenched his fists and whispered, "Damn it, what's that bastard still standing there for? Why doesn't he hurry up and come in!"

Zhao Feng, hearing Zhao Shuo's low voice, said, "Second Brother, I don't know if the musk on the handkerchief can lure out the Azure Dragon. Even if it can, our safety is not guaranteed. I feel this is a bit too risky!"

Zhao Shuo didn't speak, but Zhao Luan said, "Big Brother, I think Second Brother's plan is perfect. If it weren't for Second Brother telling me, I wouldn't have known that you had set up such a trap to deal with Chen Tiangui."

Zhao Shuo suppressed his nervousness and said, "Many people in Wanghai City know that there is a Spirit Consolidation stage Azure Dragon lurking by the sea, but few know the exact location of its lair. Big Brother accidentally discovered the Azure Dragon's cave while fishing. If we use it well, with the help of the Azure Dragon, it's not impossible to eliminate the heads of the three major families in Wanghai City. Using it to deal with a mere Chen Tiangui seems like overkill."

Zhao Luan huffed and said, "Dying in the mouth of the Azure Dragon is his luck!"

Zhao Feng's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Aren't you two afraid that the musk will attract the Azure Dragon and it will discover us?"

"We have made all the necessary preparations. If the Azure Dragon really discovers us, it's just bad luck. A Spirit Consolidation stage Azure Dragon has already developed some intelligence. Maybe it will let us go in gratitude for bringing it a fat man."

Zhao Shuo laughed as he spoke.

Seeing that Zhao Shuo was still in a good mood, Zhao Feng smiled bitterly. "Well, since I agreed to Second Brother's plan from the start, it's too late to say anything now. I just don't understand why the Azure Dragon hasn't moved yet."

Just as they were talking, Zhao Luan whispered, "Look, there's movement!"

Zhao Luan's low voice drew the attention of Zhao Shuo and Zhao Feng. They saw ripples on the calm surface of the water, and bubbles were rising, as if something was about to emerge from below.

Chen Tiangui, with a lecherous smile on his face, was slowly walking into the pond, occasionally sniffing the handkerchief in his hand, his face filled with ecstasy.

Suddenly, Chen Tiangui saw bubbles rising from the water about ten meters ahead. Through the dim light, he could vaguely see a shadow in the water.

Seeing this, Chen Tiangui, whose head was already filled with lust, didn't think of anything else. Imagining Zhao Luan's beautiful body swaying in the water, Chen Tiangui let out a strange cry, tearing off his clothes and diving into the water towards the shadow.

"Wow, little beauty, I'm coming..."

Chen Tiangui opened his arms and lunged at the shadow, hugging it tightly. In an instant, Chen Tiangui felt his blood boil, and he shouted, "Haha, little beauty, I finally caught you... Ah!"

A shrill scream erupted from Chen Tiangui's mouth, as if he had lost his father. He saw a greenish head with a hint of gold, with a small fleshy bump in the middle, right in front of him, and he was hugging it tightly.

The three people hiding in the dark were also startled, especially when they saw Chen Tiangui hugging the Azure Dragon's head. Even Zhao Shuo had to admit that Chen Tiangui was truly driven by lust and had lost his mind.

However, Zhao Feng looked puzzled and said, "Something's not right with this Azure Dragon!"

Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Zhao Shuo looked at the Azure Dragon and then at Chen Tiangui, who was trembling in fear and didn't know what to do. His eyes suddenly lit up. "You're right, something's not right. This Azure Dragon is so small, not at all like the hundreds of feet long one in the legends."

Zhao Luan frowned and said, "I think I know what's going on."

Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Luan, and she said, "Look, is the color of the Azure Dragon's body green with a hint of gold, and is there a small fleshy bump in the middle of its head?"

Zhao Shuo's heart raced. "Little Sister, you mean this Azure Dragon is undergoing a transformation, turning into a dragon?"

Zhao Luan nodded. "Second Brother's guess is probably right. Once the Azure Dragon fully transforms into a dragon, it will leap from the Spirit Consolidation stage to the Dharma Image stage, a significant leap. It's reasonable for its size to shrink. More importantly, when the Azure Dragon is transforming, it is at its weakest. Even the spirit core it has condensed will likely be completely dispersed to transform its body."
