Chapter 1: The True Dragon Essence

His only thought now is to quickly make money, pay off the debt he owes her, and then start anew as soon as possible

Whenever Jiang Hai saw that frostbitten face, he would feel a headache; this kind of life was not what he desired

Speaking of his life, it can be described as a blend of monotony with some excitement. To be precise, before the age of 26, he led a mundane life, just like most people. After his birth, he was a mischievous child, and since he was the only child in the family, he was quite spoiled. Both his father and mother were ordinary employees in a state-owned enterprise. Although they did not have much money, at least they did not have to worry about their livelihood

Ah... these wealthy people, they just have so many matters to deal with. But no matter how many matters they have, they are still wealthy, aren't they? Hehe!" After patting Jiang Hai's arm, the aunt chuckled and began to speak. Amidst the aunt's laughter, Jiang Hai awkwardly smiled, then returned to his home. The moment he unlocked the door with his key, the smile that had lingered on his face faded, revealing a somewhat forced expression. He sighed as he looked at the empty five-bedroom, three-living-room house before him, offering a helpless wry smile. Carrying a bucket, he walked into the kitchen. As he passed through the living room, the aunt's laughter echoed again. Jiang Hai awkwardly smiled once more, then returned home. The moment he unlocked the door with his key, the smile that had lingered on his face faded, revealing a somewhat forced expression. He sighed as he looked at the empty five-bedroom, three-living-room house before him, offering a helpless wry smile. Carrying a bucket, he walked into the kitchen. Passing through the living room, he noticed three not-so-large wedding photos displayed there. In the photos, the man was handsome, and the woman was also extremely beautiful. Although it was a wedding photo, there was not a trace of a smile on the woman's face.

"Xiao Jiang, did you talk to your wife about what Auntie mentioned last time? What does she think about it?" One of the aunties slowly approached Jiang Hai, carefully speaking to him.

Having grown up together since childhood, both of my parents worked in the same factory

However, if he wishes to start anew, Jiang Hai must find a way to repay the money he "owes" first

Then I attended elementary school, followed by middle school, and then high school. After graduating from high school, due to poor academic performance, I casually enrolled in a so-called diploma mill university, majoring in the legendary all-purpose program, Financial Management. During my four years in college, except for the first year, I attended approximately thirty classes in total over the remaining three years. Most of my time was spent in the dormitory watching anime or going to internet cafes to play games, as the school's internet was too unreliable.

As soon as they entered the community, several elderly women nearby, who were basking in the sun, loudly addressed Jiang Hai.

This is his only goal now

At this moment, Jiang Hai, carrying something, heard the words of several elderly women and smiled lightly while nodding at them

Fortunately, it is a diploma mill; during exams, for 200 yuan per subject, one can pass directly, which saves him quite a few brain cells

Ah, Xiao Jiang is back

The company's assets nearly halved in an instant, and upon learning this news, Qili's father suffered a heart attack and passed away

What delicious food did you buy

At this moment, he felt as if he had transformed into a dragon, a very large and wondrous dragon, whose power could reach the heavens and penetrate the earth

At this moment, Jiang Hai's consciousness is also experiencing a very magical scene

"I went fishing by the river," Jiang Hai said to the elderly women, showcasing his catch for the day.

In order to take over the company and to have a token of commitment, her mother devised a plan: marriage, which could also be described as a sham marriage

The surgery has been completed successfully; however, unfortunately, his mother had already lost her will to live. A year after the surgery, she passed away, which was just last month. The death of his parents has left Jiang Hai in deep sorrow, but after the mourning, life must go on. In this world, regardless of who is gone, the Earth continues to turn; this is an unchanging truth.

As for Jiang Hai, he is the one involved in the sham marriage. Since their wedding, Qi Li has only spent one night here; they still sleep in separate rooms. The following day, she left home and took charge of the company. After a year of development, she has stabilized the company, but Jiang Hai has completely lost the initial longing he had for this relationship.

Since then, the two families have gradually severed ties. Apart from the occasional phone call during holidays and festivals, there has been little contact. As of today, the company established by the Qi family has a market value of several billion RMB. Although not all of it belongs to them, it is still quite substantial. Qi Li has blossomed into a graceful beauty, and compared to those film and television stars, she is certainly not inferior, and may even surpass them.

In the past, Qi Li had a boyfriend while she was in school. Upon returning to the country, she discovered that this boyfriend was actually the heir of a rival company of her family. The two of them were deeply in love despite the circumstances. One day, Qi Li inadvertently revealed information regarding an investment proposal related to their company, which ultimately led this heir to inform his father. As a result, this proposal caused her family's company to suffer losses amounting to over 1 billion.

There are no large fish; the fish caught by the river in Ice City are basically of only two types. One type is the small crucian carp, which is also known as crucian fish.

Jiang Hai, born in 1988, is twenty-seven years old this year. He was born in the capital city of the northernmost province of China, known as the Ice City

However, at this moment, he had no leisure to concern himself with those fish, but instead stared blankly at the tattoo on his body

What is the use of thinking so much? I have finally finished everything recently, and I need to quickly find a way to earn money. Once I pay off the money I owe her, I can apply for a divorce. " He chuckled self-deprecatingly and slowly said, then gathered his courage again, walked into the kitchen, picked up the knife and scissors that had been prepared long ago, and got ready to start cleaning the fish

By the time Jiang Hai woke up again, it was already the next day, and the fish that had been left there had begun to smell.

He was accused of his crimes, and they sought to subdue him. He attempted to resist, but unfortunately, the leading Taoist among them was too powerful. After directly overpowering him, he was pressed beneath a great mountain. Years passed, and he could only feel his strength waning and his vitality diminishing. Ultimately, he fell, leaving behind only a trace of his essence, which seeped into the underground water and departed from the cave

At last, the war had exhausted the potential of the three clans, and at that moment, some individuals dressed as Taoist priests appeared before him

Hiss! It has been proven that sometimes, when doing certain things, one cannot be indecisive. For instance, when cleaning fish, because the fish caught by Jiang Hai were from the riverbank, and anyone who has fished there knows that the fish are all small wild fish

In fact, this information was also gathered by Jiang Hai. The true situation is such that, given his current status, it is unlikely that Qi Li would disclose anything to him. This story is quite similar to the melodramatic family feuds depicted in prime-time television dramas.

Another type is the white ticket, also known as the white strip. It has a pleasant taste, but is quite small. This fish does not even have its scales scraped off; some people eat it whole along with its entrails. However, Jiang Hai prefers to squeeze out the entrails before eating. At this moment, he encountered a problem while squeezing out the entrails.

Upon graduating from university at the age of twenty-three, he was arranged by his family to work at a trading company.

"Damn, what a stroke of bad luck..." Looking at his hand that was bleeding profusely, Jiang Hai instinctively cursed, while simultaneously picking up the small ball. He wanted to see what this small ball was, but unfortunately, before he could finish examining it, the ball suddenly shook and vanished. As for the last word Jiang Hai was about to utter, he had already rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Graduating from a prestigious university in the United States, she can be considered the elite among elites. Throughout her life, she may have only made one mistake, and it is because of this mistake that her union with Jiang Hai came to be

Daily life is very simple, quite plain, yet fulfilling. However, everything changed when he turned twenty-six, during his third year at work. First, his father passed away in an accident, and then his mother, unable to bear such a blow, fell ill and was hospitalized. After learning about his family's situation, his girlfriend decisively broke up with him and ran off with a department manager from the company. Due to this relationship, Jiang Hai also resigned from the position he had worked three years to obtain. To save his mother's life, he sold the family house, but the money for the surgery was still insufficient. At the most critical moment, his current "wife" appeared and "lent" him four hundred thousand to help complete his mother's surgery, with the condition that he would "marry" her.

The inherent strength is so formidable that it is shocking. Most importantly, this dragon is the overlord of all dragons, leading them in battle against the legendary phoenix and the qilin, engaging in daily warfare that leaves the world of the opposing side in perpetual unrest

And that essence is none other than that small light orb, which has been drifting outside for an unknown duration, and was only obtained by Jiang Hai today

At this point, a pair of once-loving individuals has turned into enemies. Qi Li is determined to take over her father's company, but the company's elders would never agree to her taking over from Tu Shu. In their eyes, a woman is just a woman; her father died from anger over that man. Who can guarantee that this woman won't directly ruin the company?

Uh, I spoke to her about it, and she said she would consider it, but she did not give me a clear answer. Hearing the aunt's words, Jiang Hai's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but he still mustered the courage to speak.

Inside the entrails of this fish, there was unexpectedly a small white ball. It is unclear what this ball is made of, and it is quite sharp. In a moment of inattention, Jiang Hai's hand was pricked by the ball, resulting in a significant cut that was now bleeding.

However, his current "father-in-law" ventured into business in 1992. There were good times and bad times, and by the year 2000, he had achieved success in business, bringing his daughter and wife to live in the capital.

Speaking of his wife, she is not an ordinary person. His wife's name is Qi Li, and they have known each other since childhood.

It cracked open from within, accompanied by a soft sound, and a white creature, resembling an earthworm, emerged from the eggshell. After emerging, it did not wander elsewhere but directly entered Jiang Hai's body.

The small ball continuously rises in the air, and with a series of cracking sounds, it resembles an egg.

Having gotten married, it can be considered that I have completely severed ties with that young heir in a clear sense

In the moment he fell unconscious, the wound on his hand gradually disappeared. A small beam of white light rose from Jiang Hai's body. If he were still conscious at that moment, it would not be difficult to see that this ball of white light was the small sphere he had been holding just before.

As Jiang Hai's body trembled, a large snake tattoo gradually emerged on his skin

Is everything in dreams real
