Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 385: 385: Mysterious Dog Egg

It was still the same quantity as before, a portion even larger than itself!

Seeing this, Gu Ning narrowed her eyes. She was highly experienced and had reached a cultivation level where progress was very slow, but her lifespan was incredibly long.

She had seen many strange creatures, but had never seen anything like this dog.

Despite appearing like mere a mongrel, dull but adorable, its eating habits were just way too absurd.

It was consuming so much food!

Everyone should know that once a cultivator reaches the foundation-laying stage, they can survive purely on celestial energy without the need for food or drink.

The food consumed by cultivators certainly isn’t ordinary. Just take, for example, the chunk of meat that the dog had just devoured.

It was the meat of a spirit beast and while Gu Ning couldn’t determine its exact power level, she could feel the significant quantity of celestial energy it contained.

By consuming things like this, cultivators could improve their abilities somewhat, albeit to a limited degree, but it was more about experiencing the taste. After all, cultivators aren’t true immortals and wouldn’t it be boring if they didn’t eat or drink?

But looking at this dog now, it was very obvious that it was just a regular mongrel without any celestial energy in its body. Under normal circumstances, let alone eating so much, even eating a little bit, a portion the size of a fingernail, would not be possible.

The presence of celestial energy in the stomach would make one feel extremely bloated and uncomfortable. If it eats more, it will surely burst from the excess energy.

However, the dog ate such a large piece of meat without getting blown up, instead seeming a bit like it still hadn’t gotten enough.

After quickly finishing off two chunks of meat, the dog looked at the plate, no longer having such a large piece of meat remaining. If it wants to continue eating, it would have to climb inside and slowly eat the whole thing.

Not wanting to do this, the dog gave a despondent look, and eyes squinted, it then began scanning the table, eventually setting its gaze on a fish.

Without hesitation, it ran forward, pressed a paw down on the body of the fish, and began feasting with gusto.

This astonished Gu Ning. She glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, who was merrily dining and drinking with Gu Leng, with arms around each other, calling each other “brother”, and then looked back at the dog.

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

The dog had already consumed half of the fish!

It even managed to swallow all the fishbones, and within a few more breaths, the entire fish was cleaned off by the dog.

Seeing the dog about to continue its rampage, Gu Ning immediately reached out to grab it.

The dog wriggled, but upon realizing it was Gu Ning, it eventually started to play with her, licking her palms and wrists, looking very joyful.

However, Gu Ning narrowed her eyes.

The first reason she grabbed the dog was to prevent it from eating anymore, out of fear that it might run into issues if it continued like this.

The second reason was to check it, trying to understand what was up with this dog.

Shockingly, she discovered that there was no trace of celestial energy in the dog’s body!

This certainly was hard to believe considering it had just consumed a heap of meat loaded with celestial energy. Even if the dog itself had no celestial energy, it could still absorb energy from its food, right? Why couldn’t she sense any energy fluctuations after this dog eating so much?

Could it be fake?

It couldn’t be, could it?

“What exactly are you, little guy?”

Gu Ning held the dog up, eyes narrowed, curiously studying the canine face.

But no matter how long she studied, she couldn’t figure anything out—even after using her powers to carefully probe the dog’s body, she found nothing.

At the same time, an attendant pushed open the door, bringing in a few dishes.

Among the dishes was a steamy pig trotter. The pig was a fierce spirit beast, its body as hard as steel and its combat power ferocious, giving off an aura of brutal savagery.

Because of this, its meat was quite tough, with the flow-on effect of fortifying and strengthening one’s body and hence was highly sought after by cultivators.

As soon as the pig trotter arrived, the dog’s half-closed eyes were immediately filled with greed, and it began struggling in Gu Ning’s hand.

Gu Ning loosened her hand, and the dog dropped onto the table, dashing straight at the pig trotter, soon devouring it completely.

By now, Gu Ning was used to its behavior, no longer worrying that it would die from overeating.

After finishing off the pig trotter, the dog seemed to be finally satisfied. Leisurely, it trotted over to Gu Ning, jumped into her lap, and found a comfortable position to doze off.

Gu Ning didn’t make a sound, just gently stroked the dog as she looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

Again, it was because of this guy that the world began to change.

This kind of spirit beast definitely should not have originated from this world.

“How interesting.”

Gu Ning murmured to herself internally.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Leng were drinking furiously, hands over each other’s shoulders, each taking turns to down cups.

Their conversation was rather enthusiastic.

“Brother Bai, you’re a little younger than me, so I’m going to take advantage of that and call you my younger brother!” Gu Leng said, a little tipsy.

Jiang Xiaobai, too, waved his hand energetically, “Hey, big brother, if you say like that, you’re looking down on me!”

“Come, let’s drink to our brotherhood!”

“Bottoms up!”

The two clinked glasses and drained their cups in one gulp.

They drank like fish, and the drinks had to be refilled multiple times.

Eventually, both seemed a bit drunk. Jiang Xiaobai clapped his arm around Gu Leng’s shoulder and declared loudly.

“Big brother, I know what you’ve been through and it pains me!”

“But rest assured, big brother, if anyone dares to pick on you in the Gu Clan in the future, don’t hesitate to tell me!”

“Yes, I may not be very powerful, but my Master is! She’s a practitioner at the peak of tribulation-passing level. Wouldn’t she be a big help if I call on her?”

“Damn it, if anyone dares pick on my brother, it’s tantamount to disregarding me. Are they kidding? I can’t tolerate that!”

“The Gu Clan is nothing but rubbish. If you want, little brother Bai here can approach the clan leader right now and insist that you become the Crown Prince. Let’s see if he dares to reject!”

Jiang Xiaobai began to rave, each sentence more audacious than the last. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone in the private room – Su Lan, Qiu Zixuan, etc. – knew about his abilities, they wouldn’t have been able to bear his boastful behavior.

Despite this, what Jiang Xiaobai said had a powerful impact on everyone.

Especially Gu Leng, he sobered up almost immediately.

He was not quite clear about what Jiang Xiaobai said just now, but there was one thing he knew for certain.

Gu Ning, the Master of Jiang Xiaobai, was a practitioner at the peak of tribulation-passing level!

A practitioner at the peak of tribulation-passing level!

Compared to the Master of Gu Bei, who is considered a prominent figure in the Gu Clan, and is the Elder of the Inner Sect in Hai Xianzong, was merely at the early stage of tribulation-passing level!

Even he is considered impactful. So, then, with a master as powerful as Gu Ning, just how profound would Jiang Xiaobai’s real identity be!

It was hard for anyone to imagine!
