Chapter 40: Entering the Heavenly Dragon

  When Wu Ming saw the "Till Death Do Us Part" quest, he couldn't help but think of the poem that Li Mo Xiu often recited: "What is love in this world? It makes people promise to be together till death..."

  Compared with Li Mochou's tragic and unrequited love, his and Little Dragon Girl's promise of life and death was a mutual and deep affection.

  In this sense, he and Little Dragon Girl are much luckier than Li Mochou.

  "Mission content: To be bound together with Little Dragon Maiden in life and death, tied by a red thread."

  "Task time limit: within one day."

  "Quest Reward: One Mysterious Treasure Chest."

  After reading the task introduction, Wu Ming was secretly delighted. Every time there was a difficulty, the Book Immortal System's tasks would arrive in a very timely manner, and this time seemed to be no exception.

  It seems that as long as he completes the "Till Death Do Us Part" quest, he and Little Dragon Girl should be able to escape, and this method depends on the mysterious treasure chest in the quest reward.

  What would the mysterious treasure chest open up to? Wu Ming's heart was filled with anticipation, and due to being hungry for several days, he subconsciously thought of delicious food.

  If the mysterious treasure chest can produce enough food, then it can fill their bellies and let them dig a tunnel to escape smoothly.

  This task is simply too cool, it can both smoothly lead to a good relationship with Little Dragon Girl Yu and also gain benefits.

  Thinking of this, Wu Ming's previous gloom disappeared, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Haha..."

  Little Dragon Girl was perplexed and asked: "Younger brother, what are you laughing at?"

  The task of the Book Immortal System was naturally not to be revealed, so Wu Ming could only hold Little Dragon Girl tightly and say softly: "Sister, I'm smiling because I'm happy. Originally, Sister had such love for me in her heart, I'm really too happy. Sister, are you willing to marry me?"

  "Junior brother, I..." Little Dragon Girl's heart skipped a beat, and the feeling of hunger seemed to have eased up a lot. Although she was willing in her heart, but out of reserve, she didn't immediately agree.

  Wu Ming thought that Little Dragon Maiden was being considerate of the Ancient Tomb Sect's rules, and hastily softly consoled her: "Sister, we are now trapped in this underground cave with no hope of survival, it's not different from sharing a bed while alive and sharing a grave after death. Why must you still care about Ancestor's teachings?"

  "Stinky little brother, it's not like that..." Little Dragon Girl blushed and smiled, worried that Wu Ming would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "Actually, Master Granny had also left a message in her will, if there is a man willing to die for the female disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect, then they can make an exception and get married. Previously, you used your body to block the fatal blow for Shifu's sister, it was equivalent to breaking this rule, in Shifu's heart, you have long been my...my husband."

  When she finally said the two words "husband", Little Dragon Maiden was extremely shy, her voice dropping to a whisper.

  Wu Ming, however, heard it clearly, and the excitement in his heart was simply indescribable. He lowered his head and kissed the tender red lips of Little Dragon Girl.

  After a kiss, Wu Ming lightly laughed and said: "Eldest sister, since you've already called me your husband, then from now on, you'll be my wife. Let's just get married right away."

  "Good!" Up to this point, Xiaolongnv also no longer held back, and nodded shyly in agreement.

  Then, the two of them slightly adjusted their appearance and began the wedding ceremony.

  Of course, due to the restrictions of the circumstances, the two simply went through a simple ceremony.

  "I bow to heaven and earth."

  Wu Ming shouted and then knelt down on the ground with his hands clasped together, pulling along Little Dragon Maiden to kowtow three times.

  "Bowing twice in front of the ancestral hall."

  Wu Ming shouted again, and the two of them continued with another three bows.

  Husband and wife bow together.

  When Wu Ming and Little Dragon Girl both knelt down with their heads bowed, their hearts were filled with sweetness and happiness, as if even life and death had been temporarily forgotten.

  Holding onto Little Dragon Maiden's soft hands, Wu Ming excitedly and passionately said: "Master sister, from now on you will be my wife, don't worry, I will love and cherish you for the rest of my life."

  Xiao Long Nu was also filled with inexplicable joy, but her face was flushed with shyness, and she said softly: "Disciple brother, from now on you will be my husband, and I will serve you for the rest of my life."

  Wu Ming said softly: "Master sister, can I call you Long Er from now on?"

  "Uh-huh, you can call me that then," Little Dragon Maiden replied softly. "That's what Master used to call me before."

  ……

  The deeper the feeling, the thicker it becomes. The two of them spoke intimately and soon shared a passionate kiss.

  With fame comes natural success.

  "Send her into the bridal chamber!" After Wu Ming spoke, he couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in his heart.

  The little dragon girl trembled all over and said: "Husband, I'm afraid... you must spare Dragon's life..."

  In the darkness, Wu Ming could deeply feel Xiao Longnu's inner tension, her heart racing like a deer in panic, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

  "Dragon son, don't worry, I'll be very gentle." Wu Ming naturally wouldn't rush, softly comforting the other party.

  (Harmony... omitting 10,000 words here, please use your imagination...)

  The clouds and rain had just subsided, and after a sweet pastime, Wu Ming's mind suddenly received the Book Spirit System's prompt tone.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Congratulations, you have completed the Book Spirit System task [Till Death Do Us Part], and obtained a mysterious treasure chest."

  Upon hearing the hint, Wu Ming's heart was extremely excited. Although there is a saying that "a loving couple can make do with plain water", after this pleasant encounter, the feeling of hunger had become increasingly unbearable. If he could conjure up some food, it would be the greatest enjoyment for him and Little Dragon Girl after their intimate moment.

  But will it really be delicious?

  Wu Ming hastily opened the mysterious treasure chest emitting golden light.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Open the mysterious treasure chest, you get [Book Immortal Fragment]."

  I'm going, why isn't it delicious food? The fragments can't be eaten as a meal.

  Wait, no, [Book Immortal Fragment] can't be eaten as food, but it can take me away from here.

  Upon hearing this hint, Wu Ming felt disappointed yet somehow found a glimmer of hope for survival.

  【Book Fairy Time-Space Fragment】Each book world has two fragments, as long as you get the two fragments, you can synthesize 【Book Fairy Time-Space Transmission Gate】, and then rely on this gate to randomly transmit to another book world.

  Wu Ming had previously obtained a fragment, and now that he had obtained another one, it meant that he could now synthesize this strange space-time gate.

  Wu Ming had just thought of this idea when the Book Spirit System immediately prompted him.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have collected two pieces of Book Spirit Time-Space Fragments, which can be synthesized into a Book Spirit Time-Space Transmission Gate with a 100% success rate. Would you like to synthesize it immediately?"

  "Yes, right away." Wu Ming replied without hesitation.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Congratulations, [Book Immortal Time-Space Transmission Gate] synthesis successful."

  Through mental observation, Wu Ming immediately obtained the properties of [Book Immortal Space-Time Transmission Gate].

  "【Book Immortal Time-Space Transmission Gate】: A special prop that allows one person to be randomly transmitted to another book's world."

  "Note: This transmission is a one-time transmission, and the item will automatically disappear after transmission."

  After watching, Wu Ming was suddenly distressed in his heart. This broken transmission door can only transmit one person at a time, and after the transmission is completed, it disappears, which is simply too pitiful. This undoubtedly means that relying on this transmission door, he and Little Dragon Girl can only have one leave this underground cave.

  What's wrong?

  What's wrong?

  Suddenly, Wu Ming thought of a fortune-telling book he had used before.

  Maybe it can be like this.

  Wu Ming's heart suddenly felt clear and bright.

  According to the Book Immortal system, each book world can complete tasks to obtain two pieces of Book Immortal time-space fragments and one piece of zodiac book sign. Collecting Book Immortal time-space fragments allows for random teleportation within the book world, while the zodiac book sign can be used for fixed-point teleportation. Additionally, collecting all twelve zodiac book signs enables directional teleportation. This means that as long as he collects all twelve zodiac book signs, even if he teleports to another book world, he can still return to the Condor Hero World's underground cave and use the Book Immortal storage box to bring a large amount of food and digging tools, ensuring that he can dig out a tunnel and escape with Little Dragon Maiden.

  As for the time she left, it can only be maintained by using the "Zodiac Book Sign: Zi Mouse" time-stopping function to sustain Xiaolongnv's life.

  Although he had already thought of a perfect plan in his heart, thinking that he would be leaving Xiao Longnu soon, Wu Ming's heart was not happy at all.

  The world in the book is full of too many unknowns, even if luck is good and everything goes smoothly, it must go through more than eleven book worlds to have a chance to collect all twelve zodiac book signs.

  If you're unlucky, then it's impossible to estimate how much time will be needed.

  Although his heart was filled with reluctance and the pain of parting, Wu Ming still decided to open the door of time and space at midnight, leaving the world of Shen Diao.

  "Long'er, my leaving is not for escaping, but for our better life in the future."

  That night at midnight, Wu Ming kissed the little dragon girl goodbye and gritted his teeth to activate the timing positioning function of [Zodiac Bookmark: Zi Mouse]. The little dragon girl suddenly seemed to turn into a motionless statue.

  Being able to pause time can put the world of Condor Hero in a state of temporal stasis, and Little Dragon Maiden won't starve to death.

  But positioning can allow Wu Ming to use the zodiac book sign to transmit back to this underground cave in the future.

  After making this preparation, Wu Ming immediately used [Book Immortal Space-Time Transmission Gate].

  "Ding Dong!"

  "The Book Immortal Time-Space Transmission Gate is open. Since you chose the Martial Arts World when you first entered the Book Immortal World, you will be randomly transmitted to any martial arts novel world in 30 seconds. Please prepare yourself mentally."

  Hearing that it was a martial arts world, Wu Ming secretly let out a sigh of relief. If it were an immortal or fantasy world, with his current martial arts skills, he would probably have a hard time blending in. But in a martial arts world, he had nothing to fear.

  As the thirty-second countdown reached zero, Wu Ming suddenly felt a blackness in front of his eyes, his body became light, and then he seemed to enter a space-time tunnel, after which he fainted.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have randomly entered the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
