Take a concubine, but make sure it's the enemy's ancestor

In a fantastical world teeming with challenges and unforeseen twists, Cao Wenbin finds himself in a remarkable predicament when he accidentally traverses to a realm where he becomes the Saint Son of the prestigious Cao family. Initially, he believes that this new status will pave the way for glory, power, and respect. However, he soon discovers that this world is anything but simple. It resembles a chaotic dream where danger lurks at every corner, and the rules of engagement are dictated by the caprices of fate. This world is a rich tapestry woven from countless novel elements, where lucky individuals—those blessed with extraordinary fortune—sprout like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm. Additionally, fated protagonists, seemingly destined for greatness, are as abundant as dogs in the streets. In such a fiercely competitive environment, every move carries immense significance. A single misstep could lead to disastrous consequences, transforming triumph into catastrophe in an instant. The Cao family stands as one of the most powerful forces in Zhongzhou, a region bustling with hidden agendas and political intrigue. Although the family enjoys an outward appearance of grandeur and influence, the internal dynamics are complex and often treacherous. As the sole Saint Son of the family, Cao Wenbin quickly realizes that he is not merely a figurehead. He must confront formidable external threats while simultaneously navigating the intricate web of power struggles and rivalries within his own clan. In this high-stakes game, Cao Wenbin learns that simply relying on his family name and status will not suffice. To survive and thrive, he needs to cultivate both wisdom and courage, embracing the challenges that lie ahead. Fortunately for him, during his tumultuous arrival in this world, he acquires a mysterious divine book. This book is not just a repository of ancient knowledge; it holds the key to unlocking his true potential. As he delves deeper into its pages, he begins to uncover secrets that will aid him in his quest for survival and dominance. As Cao Wenbin gradually masters the teachings within the divine book, his life transforms in unimaginable ways. The previously mundane existence of merely subsisting in this chaotic world is no longer his fate. Instead, he becomes determined to take control of his destiny, rising above the limitations imposed upon him by fate. The divine book empowers him with insights and strategies that can turn the tide in any confrontation, making him a formidable player in this dangerous game. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and Cao Wenbin soon realizes that the divine book's abilities are not without limitations. He discovers that the realm he inhabits is a chessboard controlled by various powerful entities, each with their own agendas and ambitions. Every decision he makes carries weight, and he must navigate a labyrinth of plots and counterplots to emerge victorious. Cao Wenbin's enemies are not always what they seem. They could be longstanding adversaries lurking in the shadows, or they might even be friends and allies with hidden motives. This uncertainty forces him to question his trust in those around him. As he confronts these challenges, he must rely on his intuition and the wisdom gleaned from the divine book to outmaneuver his foes.

As Cao Wenbin explained, the top ten tortures of the ancient Blue Star gradually came into view for Long Ji.

The more she listened, the more frightened Long Ji became.

Especially when Cao Wenbin mentioned the Trojan Horse Punishment, Long Ji trembled all over with fear.

"Shut up!"

"I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Cao Wenbin was immediately delighted.

However, Long Yunhe, who had all four limbs disabled, exploded.

"Long Ji, how dare you!"

"That place belongs to my dragon clan!"

"If you dare to reveal it, you will be the common enemy of all dragons!"

"Cao Wenbin, don't you know a lot of punishments? Then come at me!"

"If I even frown, I'm your slave!"

It has to be said that Long Yunhe really has a lot of backbone.

Cao Wenbin also admires such a person.

However, admiration aside, he still has to do what he needs to do.

So, after a flash of sword light, in addition to losing his mobility and sight, Long Yunhe also lost his ability to speak.

Long Ji, who witnessed all this, immediately frowned.

"Why don't you just kill him?"

Cao Wenbin smiled.

However, the smile was full of evil: "Didn't I say it before?"

"I like to play in front of the juniors..."

Long Ji's face turned pale, and then without hesitation, she immediately changed the topic.

"The secret on me is related to my physique."

"I have the Ice - Fire Divine Physique..."

Long Ji couldn't continue.

Because as soon as the words "Ice - Fire Divine Physique" came out, Cao Wenbin directly interrupted her by waving his hand.

"Are you joking with me?"

"Water and fire never mix. Even a fool knows that."

"How could there be an Ice - Fire Divine Physique in this world?"

Long Ji gave Cao Wenbin a light glare: "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Actually, in the ancient times, many people in the dragon clan had the Ice - Fire Divine Physique."

"The reason why there are none later is that the dragon clan broke with the phoenix clan."

"The rule that water and fire never mix was also a rule of heaven and earth passed down from that time."

Cao Wenbin's eyes lit up.

"Do you mean that the offspring born from the combination of a phoenix and a dragon must have the Ice - Fire Divine Physique?"

Long Ji nodded: "That's right."

"And my Ice - Fire Divine Physique came about in this way."

"My father was the most talented person of their generation, and my mother was the last phoenix in the world."

Hearing this, Cao Wenbin frowned again.

Because according to the records of "The Dragon King of Another World", Jun Xiaoyao's mount is a phoenix.

If Long Ji's mother is the last phoenix in the world, then where did Jun Xiaoyao's phoenix come from?

However, after the previous experience of being refuted, this time Cao Wenbin didn't interrupt randomly.

He believed that as Long Ji talked more, the answer would soon surface.

Sure enough...

"Due to the rule of heaven and earth that water and fire never mix, as soon as I was born, the heavenly tribulation immediately came down."

"Fortunately, my parents were well - prepared, and I managed to escape."

"However, they..."

"My father died on the spot. My mother managed to survive with her innate supernatural power of nirvana rebirth."

"But her soul also returned to the ancestral land of the phoenix clan, and it's unknown when she will reappear in the world."

"And it was also under the guidance of my mother's soul that people in the world rediscovered the location of the ancestral land of the phoenix clan."

"However, those greedy people who wanted to enter to search for treasures were all injured by the protective array of the phoenix clan."

"Even a great emperor couldn't break the array."

"As for what happened later..."

Long Ji didn't continue, but Cao Wenbin had already imagined everything.

After trying various ways and failing to enter, those people naturally set their sights on Long Ji.

After all, she has the blood of the phoenix clan, and the ancestral land of the phoenix clan would definitely not reject her.

So, after a big battle, Long Ji fell into the hands of the Swallowing - Heaven Great Emperor.

However, due to serious injuries, the Swallowing - Heaven Great Emperor's physical body directly collapsed on the way to the ancestral land of the phoenix clan.

Helplessly, he had to set up the Swallowing - Heaven Secret Realm, hoping to regain a new life through seizing a body.

It's a pity that he had bad luck and met Cao Wenbin, who knew part of the plot and prepared countermeasures in advance.

"Okay, I've said everything I should say. Now we can talk about the terms."

Hearing this, Cao Wenbin smiled.

"Tell me what you want."

"Remember, don't be too excessive. Otherwise, I'll kill you and take your corpse to break the array of the ancestral land of the phoenix clan."

Long Ji was stunned, and then her face immediately fell.

She originally thought that she could take the initiative in this transaction.

However, unexpectedly...

"It seems that the most I can ask for is freedom."

With this judgment, Long Ji immediately said, "I just want freedom."

"Of course, the premise is that you don't want my dragon essence anymore."

To be honest, this request is not excessive.

If she wasn't beautiful, Cao Wenbin would have agreed without hesitation.

However, now...

"That's impossible. I will take your dragon essence no matter what."

This matter is related to three rewards, so Cao Wenbin naturally won't give in.

"You..."

Long Ji was furious.

If looks could kill, Cao Wenbin would have died eight hundred times by now.

"This won't do, that won't do. What on earth do you want?"

"Do you want me to give for nothing?"

For this question, Cao Wenbin had already thought of a plan, so he answered very calmly: "Well, anyway, after you help me get the inheritance of the phoenix clan, you can't go back to the dragon clan."

"Since that's the case, then follow me from now on."

"I can give you the status of a concubine."

Long Ji's eyes widened instantly.

She really didn't expect that someone could be so shameless.

If she agreed to this plan, wouldn't it mean that she changed from a temporary plaything to a permanent one?

However, after thinking about it carefully, she thought that Cao Wenbin made sense.

Following Cao Wenbin, although she might suffer in some aspects, her cultivation resources and personal safety would definitely be guaranteed.

After all, the Cao family is an extremely powerful backer.

"How about it? Have you considered it?"

Long Ji gritted her teeth: "I agree."

"However, I have a request."

"Tell me."

"If we find a phoenix egg in the ancestral land of the phoenix clan, it must belong to me."

Cao Wenbin's eyes lit up, and then he said with an evil smile: "No problem."

"After that egg hatches, you two don't have to be separated forever."

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
