Plotting against Jun Xiaoyao...

"Husband, what on earth is the answer to that riddle?"

Apparently, not only Lin Dong failed to figure out the answer, but Long Ji, this ancient oddity, also couldn't come up with it.

"It's Xi Zhi Lang (a brand of jelly)."

Cao Wenbin answered casually.

But Long Ji, who was enlightened, blushed with shame immediately.

As for Lin Dong, who had just walked in...

"Brilliant!"

"Jelly. What a great riddle about jelly!"

"Wenbin, why didn't I realize you were so talented before?"

Giving him a slight roll of the eyes, Cao Wenbin didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

After Lin Dong came to his side, he pointed at the corridors on the left and right and said, "What a coincidence. There are exactly two passages here. How about each of us taking one?"

"No problem. But I'll take the left one."

Once the serious matter was brought up, Lin Dong immediately became serious.

At the same time, his four - eyed pupils began to shine.

"Damn it. Have you no shame?"

"You're actually using your double - pupil to cheat!"

Even though he said that, there wasn't a trace of anger on Cao Wenbin's face.

Because he knew that even if the things in the left passage were given to him, he wouldn't be able to use them.

So, after complaining, Cao Wenbin turned around and walked towards the right passage without hesitation.

Soon, only Long Ji, holding Feng Linglong in her arms, and Yun Qingzhu, alone, were left on the scene.

Originally, Yun Qingzhu thought she could finally take a break.

But just as she was looking for a place to sit, Long Ji spoke.

"My husband asked me to give you a message."

Yun Qingzhu's body tensed up instantly, and her little face lost all its color.

She knew that Cao Wenbin wouldn't let her off so easily.

"If there's something, it's better to let Young Master Cao tell me in person."

"Only in this way can I better listen to his teachings."

Long Ji smiled.

She naturally understood what Yun Qingzhu meant.

Wasn't she just trying to delay until Lin Dong came back?

"Do you think you're closer to Lin Dong, or is my husband closer to Lin Dong?"

"If something really happens, do you think the Lin family will side with you or with my husband?"

Yun Qingzhu was silent.

A bitter taste filled the corner of her mouth.

Side with whom?

Was there even a need to ask?

They were closely related by blood.

And what about her?

To put it nicely, she was Lin Dong's protector. To put it bluntly, she was just a potential plaything.

"Go ahead."

"I was wrong before. I'm willing to accept the punishment."

Long Ji nodded with satisfaction. "Good. Those who know the times are the wise ones."

"Don't worry. My husband doesn't want to spread your legs. He just wants you to help him invite someone during a specific period."

Yun Qingzhu was stunned.

She never expected that Cao Wenbin would make such a request.

"Is it that simple?"

"Otherwise?"

"Don't you really think that my husband is after your body?"

"Come on. In that case, it wouldn't be a punishment but a reward."

Yun Qingzhu agreed with this point.

After all, being slept with by the young master of the Cao family was the dream of most women in the Immortal Domain, whether they were married or unmarried.

"But this request is too strange."

"Is there really someone in this world that Cao Wenbin can't invite but I can?"

What she didn't know was that there really was such a person.

And it was an extremely important one.

Jun Xiaoyao's mother, Jiang Rou.

Yes, the mother of the first male lead in "The Dragon King in Another World".

During this period, no one could have imagined that Yun Qingzhu, this insignificant woman, had a connection with the powerful Jiang family.

More than three hundred years ago, when the Jiang family head was exploring a secret realm, he was ambushed by his enemies.

Originally, it was a dead - end situation.

But at the critical moment, Yun Qingzhu's ancestor saved the Jiang family head, allowing him to escape.

However, although they escaped, both of them were seriously injured.

With its deep foundation, the Jiang family naturally revived the family head easily after paying some price.

But the Yun family was a small family. So as soon as Yun Qingzhu's ancestor returned home, he died.

Before he died, with all his strength, he only managed to take out a jade pendant from his bosom.

As for words, he couldn't say a single one.

So, the powerful function of this jade pendant was completely buried in history.

But others didn't know the value of this jade pendant, while Cao Wenbin did.

This jade pendant was given by the Jiang family head to the Yun family's ancestor when the two old men fled separately.

And a promise was made.

As long as someone from the Yun family came to the door with the jade pendant, the Jiang family would help them fulfill any wish.

Of course, these were just polite words.

However, it wouldn't be difficult to use this jade pendant to make an appointment with Jiang Rou.

And this was exactly what Cao Wenbin had his eye on.

He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to capture Jiang Rou.

As for what would happen after that...

Hehe...

"What are you thinking? Are you willing to cooperate with my husband or not?"

"Yes, of course."
