Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Evening
Jiang Hua woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw Hou Tu looking at him in a trance.

"Hey, my wife, are you attracted by my beauty? She's staring at me in ecstasy."

"Pooh!"

Hou Tu realized that Jiang Hua had seen everything she had just done. Her face turned red and she looked outside in panic!
When Jiang Hua saw Hou Tu's feminine look, the fire in his body was suddenly ignited. He slowly stretched out his sinful hands and held Hou Tu on his legs.

"What are you doing!"

Hou Tu didn't expect Jiang Hua to do this and waved her hands in panic!

"Don't move, I just want to hold you like this...
Jiang Hua buried his head in Hou Tu's hair and slowly sniffed the scent of Hou Tu. Seeing Jiang Hua like this, Hou Tu stopped resisting and slowly reached out and hugged Jiang Hua.

"Hou Tu, do you think you will leave me one day?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I don't know either, but I feel like one day you'll leave me!"

Hou Tu was silent. She was confused now. Although she had thought about leaving Jiang Hua before, she had gotten used to Jiang Hua's existence after such a long time together. His domineering and childishness were all imprinted in her heart. Slowly, she had an answer in her heart. She would not leave Jiang Hua, and would never think about it. Hou Tu hugged Jiang Hua tighter. Skill 1, this was Hou Tu's answer to Jiang Hua.

After feeling Hou Tu's slight movement, Jiang Hua smiled. Now Hou Tu's movement said it all.

"Hou Tu"

Jiang Hua stood up, held onto Hou Tu's shoulders, and said sincerely, "I swear, no one in this life can take you away from me, unless they step on my dead body!"

"No need to say, I believe you!"

Then Jiang Hua kissed Hou Tu on the lips.

"Hmm~"

3 days later
The train arrived in the capital.

"Ah—finally we're here. It's still so comfortable to stay in the capital!"

"Humph, what a death!"

Hou Tu looked at Jiang Hua from behind, who looked relaxed, and said coldly to him.

Seeing Hou Tu's cold expression again, Jiang Hua shrugged helplessly, saying that what could he do since his wife was too arrogant!
Jiang Hua took Hou Tu's hand and walked out of the train station, just in time to see Da Jin Ya looking around at something at the station entrance.

"Old Jin, here!"

Hearing Jiang Hua's voice, Da Jin Ya looked over in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Hua holding Hou Tu's hand and looking at him with a smile.

"Master Jiang, I miss you so much!"

Big Gold Tooth ran over excitedly and looked up and down, as if he was checking something.

After finding out that Jiang Hua was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, you don't know me, what could be wrong with me!"

"Haha, Master Jiang is so powerful, who can hurt him? Come on, Master Jiang, let's go eat mutton hotpot."

After saying that, he took Jiang Hua and headed straight to the hot pot restaurant they had booked earlier.

"Master Jiang, how is it going? Have you finished your business during this trip to Tianshi Mansion?"

"What do you think?"

"Haha, is there anything that Master Jiang can't handle?"

"Haha, stop flattering me. What happened in Panjiayuan these days?" "Nothing big, but yesterday a young man in a white robe carrying a sword and a bunch of food came to Panjiayuan to look for you, but you hadn't come back at that time, so we asked him to come back in two days."

"A young man in a white robe carrying a sword, I didn't expect that Guo Pengzhan would arrive in the capital before us."

"Master Jiang, do you know this young man?"

"Well, he is just the Holy Son of Shushan!"

"Pfft~"

Big Gold Tooth was horrified when he heard Jiang Hua's frightening words. That was Shushan, the largest immortal cultivation sect in the world. Yet, the Holy Son of Shushan became so ordinary in the mouth of Master Jiang.

"Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately there was no conflict with him at that time, otherwise we might not be able to see Master Jiang now."

After Jiang Hua had eaten and drunk his fill, he took Hou Tu back to Panjiayuan. During the few days he was away, Panjiayuan was in great order thanks to Da Jin Ya's care.

"I'm finally home. I can relax for a few days," Jiang Hua said and lay down on the rattan chair.

Hou Tu looked at Jiang Hua helplessly. She could not associate Jiang Hua, who was now lying on the chair like a puddle of mud, with the Jiang Hua who was invincible in Longhu Mountain.

At noon, Jiang Hua was lying on a rattan chair holding the colorful stone that Zhang Daoling had given him before, full of curiosity.

This is a stone that even the system ignores, but Zhang Daoling put it together with two drops of blood of a divine beast, which means that this stone must have some miraculous function.

Jiang Hua placed the stone under the sun and discovered that there was a green dragon and a red bird circling inside the stone, which aroused Jiang Hua's curiosity.

"This is indeed not an ordinary item, but how should I use it?" Jiang Hua tried many methods and none of them worked, so he finally gave up.

"Ow~"

A childish voice came from Jiang Hua's arms.

Jiang Hua took out the golden thunder dragon.

"You're awake!"

Ever since Jiang Hua came out of the illusion, the little golden dragon has been sleeping. No matter how Jiang Hua played with it, it just wouldn't move. Now it actually woke up.

"Ouch~ow~"

The little golden dragon growled in a baby voice, then walked to Jiang Hua's shoulder and rubbed his little head against Jiang Hua's face. "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Hua felt that the little golden dragon might be hungry, so he condensed a trace of lightning with his fingers. When the little golden dragon saw it, it cried out in surprise and began to eat happily.

"Haha, I'm hungry after all."

The little golden dragon quickly ate the lightning, and after that, he actually fell asleep on Jiang Hua's shoulder.

"What a fun little guy."

Suddenly Fengshen Yinde pushed the door and walked in, but now Fengshen Yinde's expression was full of loneliness.

"What's wrong?
"Jiang Hua, my father...he passed away. He never made it through his decline."

"When did this happen?"

Jiang Hua was very surprised about Heshen's death.

“This is what my father left for me.”

As he spoke, Fengshen Yinde took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jiang Hua.

“This is the last thing my father left me.”

Jiang Hua took a look and said with a slight sigh:
"Alas, your father has also realized his mistakes. Bury him properly. You must persevere and carry on with your father's hopes."

"Yes, I will live well with my father's last wish."

When a man is about to die, his words are good. Now Heshen has received the retribution he deserves. Now he realizes his mistakes.

"Okay, calm yourself down. We have more important things to do. If you blame yourself for this, your father might not be willing to accept it either."

"Yes, I know. Don't worry, I will sort myself out."

Fengshen Yinde went back to pack up his father's body.

"Hey, has Jiang Hua returned yet?"

When Jiang Hua was about to go out at home, a very frivolous voice suddenly came from the door.

When he walked to the door, he just saw a young man in a white robe looking out the door. When he saw Jiang Hua coming out, he ran over with surprise.

"Jiang Hua, you're finally back. I looked for you yesterday but you didn't come back."

The person who came was the Shushan Saint, Guo Pengzhan. He came again today because he didn't see Jiang Hua yesterday. He was so excited when he saw Jiang Hua.

Guo Pengzhan wanted to hug Jiang Hua, but Jiang Hua dodged him.

"Tell me, why did you come to me?"

"I came to you because of Chi..."

Guo Pengzhan was about to say something further, but when he saw that they were at the door, he didn't say anything further.

"Let's go in and talk." Jiang Hua also saw Guo Pengzhan's worry, so he took Guo Pengzhan into his study.

"Okay, this place is guaranteed to be very safe, you can tell me now!"

"Okay, Jiang Hua, I came to see you. The Supreme Elder of Shushan asked me to come."

"Oh? Your Grand Elder?"

"That's right. Because my bloodline awakened today, I can't control my own bloodline now. But I don't know how to rob tombs, so the Supreme Elder asked me to come to Panjiayuan to find a man named Jiang Hua."

"Bloodline, what bloodline did you awaken?" Jiang Hua asked puzzledly.

"Let me show you." After saying that, he directly unleashed the power of his bloodline.

A demon god slowly appeared behind Guo Pengzhan, carrying a mighty power that could destroy the world.

"This is!" Jiang Hua looked at the demon god in surprise.

"This is my bloodline, the Chiyou bloodline!"

"What, the demon god Chi You!"

"That's right. I didn't expect that I would awaken Chiyou's bloodline. Moreover, I can't control my bloodline at all now. Sometimes I am confused by the killing power in my bloodline."

"So, what does this have to do with why you came to see me? I don't seem to know much about bloodlines."

"That's because the elder helped me figure out that if I want to control Chiyou's bloodline, I can only go to Chiyou's tomb in Mount Li and obtain Chiyou's inheritance."

"Chiyou's Tomb? Haha, do you know who built Chiyou's Tomb? Let's go to build Chiyou's Tomb. You probably want me dead."

"No, no, this time when we went to Chiyou's tomb, the Grand Elder asked me to bring you a reward."

As he spoke, Guo Pengzhan took out a letter and a box from his arms.

"This is?"

Jiang Hua took the letter from Guo Pengzhan.

My dear friend Jiang Hua, when you see this letter, it means that my disciple has found you. So I would like to ask you a favor and I hope you can agree to it.

I found Guo Pengzhan at the entrance of my Shu Mountain back then. When I picked him up, he was just a baby in swaddling clothes.

My original intention was that it was fate that I could pick him up at the gate of Shushan, so I took him in. But later I discovered that this child's talent was unprecedented. Now at the age of 17, he has mastered all the unique skills of my Shushan. But a few days ago, when he was awakening his bloodline, he unexpectedly awakened a very domineering bloodline.

Moreover, we were all very surprised that this bloodline could actually condense into a spiritual body. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, several of our elders decided to join forces to suppress this matter.

However, the truth will come out eventually. Guo Pengzhan's awakening of his bloodline was eventually discovered. Most of the disciples began to resist Guo Pengzhan, and later some elders demanded that Guo Pengzhan be executed. However, I watched this child grow up, so how could I bear it? Especially Guo Pengzhan himself also felt the problem with his bloodline and began to become depressed.

Later, I searched through all the secrets of Shushan and finally saw a description of this bloodline in a tattered manual. (End of this chapter)
