Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow, not expecting to run into an acquaintance here.

But he had no intention of going up to say hello.

After all, he wasn't really familiar with that group of people; they had only met once by the Moon-Inviting Lake.

Jiang Nan had no intention of going up to them, but he was spotted by the man standing behind the crowd.

The young master looked in his direction and his eyes lit up.

He waved his hand and led his men flying towards Jiang Lan.

Approaching Jiang Nan, he asked with curiosity, "You... are you the one by Demon Moon Lake? The one who wouldn't sell me the rhinoceros horn?"

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

I didn't expect this kid to be so vengeful; he still remembers a rhinoceros horn after all this time.

He didn't say much, only asking, "It's me. Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, nothing." He grinned. "I just feel like we're quite destined to meet, in such a vast place as this Realm Within a Realm."

As he spoke, he glanced at the spot next to Jiang Lan, then asked with a curious expression:

"You seem to be all alone here? Haven't you joined any of those organizations?"

Jiang Lan glanced at him and smiled, saying:

"Aren't you the same?"

"We're different. Even if we don't join any organization, those people wouldn't dare touch us." The young master smiled confidently. "Hehe, let me introduce myself. My name is Noan, Noan Akayat."

Then he looked at the woman next to him and continued, "This is my sister, Nova."

"Akayate?"

"clever!"

Nuoan smiled and looked at Jiang Lan, asking:

"I haven't even asked you yet, what's your name?"

Jiang Lan raised her eyebrows slightly.

This guy seems pretty outgoing.

maybe……

Thinking of this, he remembered his plan.

The safest way now is to have someone help him exchange the treasures in the castle.

When it comes to redeeming items, you definitely can't redeem them all at once.

Otherwise, all those treasures would have been gone after Jiang Lan came out. Anyone who isn't an idiot would be able to tell that something fishy was going on.

Therefore, Jiang Lan definitely won't do that.

However, if you don't redeem all the money at once, other problems will arise.

For example, some relatively valuable treasures are snatched up by others.

Jiang Lan isn't just worrying unnecessarily.

There are now several thousand people in the Black Dragon Mountain team.

Even without detectors or similar equipment, several thousand people searching slowly and meticulously along the map would be incredibly efficient.

So it won't be long before they're able to gather enough Thunderstones to exchange for a valuable item.

Not to mention, a large force has already entered from outside.

According to the information Jiang Lan knew, there were millions of people in that army, from all sorts of factions, a real mixed bag.

Moreover, those people were all carrying specially made detection instruments that could detect the type of thunderstone.

It's easy to imagine that once they arrive, this realm within a realm will be turned upside down in an instant.

That would be even worse.

In Jiang Lan's eyes, the castle already belonged to him as his private property.

When someone tries to exchange for the treasures inside, it's like cutting his own flesh with a knife; how could he not feel heartache?

Therefore, asking for help became one of his options.

If you redeem it yourself, there are only three possible outcomes.

The first one is also the best one.

The intelligent life form inside the castle didn't cause any trouble, nor did it disclose the inventory of various treasures. After Jiang Lan exchanged the items, he simply ran away.

In that case, even if he is not discovered by people within the realm, he will definitely be subject to a joint investigation by various forces of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire when he leaves the realm master's world.

However, this investigation might lead to problems.

Therefore, Jiang Lan subconsciously rejected this option.

Next, we have the second option.

Join one of the factions within this realm.

But that would impose too many restrictions, and you'd be subject to the control of others.

How could he possibly stand this?

Therefore, Jiang Lan rejected this option as well.

The last option is to find someone to help you redeem it.

Moreover, the person you find should ideally be from a major power within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

All he had to do was persuade others to help him take the treasure out of the country.

But doing so might cause problems.

People's hearts are hidden behind their skin; no one knows what's going on in another's mind.

The treasures within this realm are so valuable that even saying they are priceless would be an understatement.

It's the kind of thing where as long as you can safely take one out, you'll be set for life.

If Jiang Lan wants others to help her exchange Thunderstones, she has to be prepared for those people to run away beforehand.

If he really ran away, where would he find him in this vast universe?

Therefore, even if you need to find someone, you must find someone you can completely trust.

Jiang Lan's mind raced.

Although I was thinking about many things, in reality, only two or three seconds had passed outside.

My name is Jiang Wang.

Jiang Lan blurted it out.

He decided not to use the real names of these people for the time being.

"Jiang Wang?" Nuoan's eyes held a hint of curiosity. "That's a really strange name. I've never had one before..."

However, his curiosity only lasted for a moment.

After all, the universe is so vast and full of wonders that it's perfectly normal for him to have names he's never heard of.

"By the way, are you really not considering joining a faction? Didn't they say that if you don't join a faction, even if you obtain treasures within this realm, you still won't be able to take them out?"

"You guys didn't join either?" Jiang Lan repeated her previous question.

Noan smiled.

"I am different from you. I am Noan, Noan Akayat."

Jiang Lan was completely bewildered, not knowing why Nuoan had repeated her name again.

At that moment, Babata's voice rang in his mind.

"Are you stupid? He said his name is Noan Akayat. You've been in the virtual universe for so long, don't you know that the Akayat family is one of the sixteen great families of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"

Jiang Lan looked like she suddenly understood.

"You're from the Akayate family, one of the sixteen families of Black Dragon Mountain?"

Seeing that Jiang Lan finally realized what was happening, Nuoan smiled.

Congratulations, you got it right!

Jiang Lan: "..."

"Haha, how about it? Were you scared?" Nuoan put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.

Jiang Lan looked at him with an expression as if he were in a daze.

This kid doesn't have the temperament of someone from a big family; instead, he seems a bit immature.

Jiang Lan drew a conclusion about him.

stupid.

So gullible! (End of Chapter)
