Translator: 549690339

Looking at Xiao Yuwei who had finally turned up at his doorstep, Jiang Xiaobai heaved a sigh in his heart.

Regardless of what Xiao Yuwei wanted from him, it was bound to be extremely dangerous, possibly even directly using him as a tool.

As a princess of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, the fact that she needed to recruit assistance was enough to illustrate how dangerous the matter was.

Not to mention that the appearance of Xiao Yuwei… no, it should be the appearance of the Crane, had completely disrupted all the plans of Jiang Xiaobai.

Powerless to resist, Jiang Xiaobai could only follow Xiao Yuwei, along with AnRan, out of the residence and discovered a flying artifact outside!

Such flying artifacts were incredibly precious, and only the supernaturally powerful in the Tianxuan Continent could possess them. Even the mighty Thousand Yuan Dynasty had few of these artifacts.

Xiao Yuwei’s possession of such a thing demonstrated her high position within the dynasty. Moreover, it underscored the level of danger involved in this mission.

Followng Xiao Yuwei onto the flying artifact, he found that its interior was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people, but there were only a few dozen people present, besides them, all expert bodyguards.

With a cold glance at Jiang Xiaobai, Xiao Yuwei pulled out two black tokens from her storage space and tossed them to Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan.

Upon seeing those tokens, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes narrowed.

These tokens provided access to the Mad Demon Secret Land!

This meant that the task Xiao Yuwei was asking him to perform was related to the Mad Demon Secret Land.

“No need to rack your brains guessing what it is. When the time comes, just do as I say. If you succeed, I will reward you with endless wealth and resources, and a high status. If you fail… well, you probably won’t make it out of the Mad

Demon Secret Land alive.”

Xiao Yuwei spoke casually before pouring herself a drink.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression remained unchanged, but he was already analyzing everything in his mind.

He quickly deduced the full picture.

Firstly, Xiao Yuwei was a princess of the dynasty and held a high position, which the flying artifact more than confirmed.

The one thing that royal heirs would hope for the most would be the ultimate position and power.

So Jiang Xiaobai deduced that Xiao Yuwei was very likely vying for the right of succession to the throne.

One of the crucial points in this competition, no doubt, would be the achievements they made in the Mad Demon Secret Land. It didn’t take much to figure out that this is how powerful families groomed their heirs.

“So, does that mean that my rivals this time will be the princes and princesses of the dynasty?”

As this thought crossed Jiang Xiaobai’s mind, he realised the magnitude of the situation.

It was indeed true that he was being used here. If he could complete Xiao Yuwei’s task, there might be a chance for him to survive. If he failed, even if he managed to escape from the Mad Demon Secret Land, he would inevitably be pursued relentlessly afterward.

Offending the royal heirs is a far more serious matter than opposing the dynasty itself.

He had previously offended the Thousand Yuan Dynasty using his previous identity, attracting only a bounty on his head and a few hired assassins in his wake.

But if he provoked the royal heirs, the consequences would be clear – a relentless pursuit driven by their vanity.

This was beyond doubt.

Born of grudges and in constant rivalry, the heirs would not hesitate to act out in revenge. Once the truth gets out, Xiao Yuwei would certainly frame Jiang Xiaobai for it all.

“Damn, what a vicious woman,” Jiang Xiaobai cursed in his heart. But he was helpless, he was too weak to resist, and his only hope was to seize any opportunities that presented themselves when he entered the Mad Demon Secret Land.

While he was lost in his thoughts, a familiar voice rang through his mind out of the blue.

“Ding, system upgrade complete.”

“Reputation feature is improved. Reputation store now open, reputation scroll feature activated, war simulator for major cities activated.”

“Congratulations, you have triggered a selection.”

“Selection one: Fully submit to Xiao Yuwei, reward: Ten Years of Cultivation!”

“Selection two: Resist Xiao Yuwei’s control within three days, reward: Twenty Years of Cultivation, a copy of the Earth-shaking Demon Roar.”

“Selection three: Escape Xiao Yuwei’s control within three days, and maintain a distance not less than five miles from her for the subsequent seven days, reward: a single opportunity to evolve the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill.”

The moment he heard the system’s voice, Jiang Xiaobai felt as if he was about to fly.

Goodness, how long has it been since he last heard this pleasant voice!

The system, the old dog, could actually upgrade itself?

And you could’ve given me a heads up before upgrading, instead of just leaving me hanging.

Hmph, heartless!

Despite cursing to himself in his heart, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t conceal his excitement. He was a little confused as to why the system stopped triggering selections even though he had faced multiple life-and-death situations. There wasn’t even a chance for him to go free-to-play!

But regardless, the system has sanctimoniously appeared just in time!

Without hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai immediately chose the third option.

Joke’s on them, ten or twenty years of cultivation was nice, but it was nothing compared to this reward, which was more sustainable in the long run.

If the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill were successfully promoted, the effects were naturally going to be explosively terrifying. The rate of absorption of spirit stones would surpass that of the past.

With enough spirit stones, his strength could naturally be improved multiple fold.

Together with the occasional boosts in cultivation years granted by the system, this two-pronged approach is sheer ecstasy.

Having made his choice, Jiang Xiaobai next turned his attention to another feature of the system.

The reputation feature!

When this feature was first activated, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know its use and had completely forgotten about it due to the high-tension situation all this while.

However, when he opened the reputation feature, he was absolutely astonished.

“What the hell, how come I’ve accumulated over five hundred reputation points?”

Jiang Xiaobai gaped at the reputation points displayed on the feature, which currently stood at 525 points.

Still reeling in shock, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the reputation store.

It stated that he had 52,500 reputation points in balance.

Each reputation point was equivalent to a hundred points of the balance.

Furthermore, the reputation store was full of all sorts of items, which surprised Jiang Xiaobai. Even cigarettes were available!

What the heck, is this a crossover event or something?

After thoroughly researching the feature, Jiang Xiaobai finally understood what the reputation feature was all about.

As the name suggests, it measured Jiang Xiaobai’s level of fame.

Owing to the two consecutive bounties on his head, despite both being for different people, his fame had naturally soared.

However, it was just at a reasonably high level for now. Based on Jiang Xiaobai’s analysis, if the entire Zhongzhou province were to know about him, his fame shouldn’t be this low.

Regardless, he now had an additional method to enhance his strength – good news indeed!
