Supreme Dragon Seal

“Qi Bei, I plan to leave tomorrow,” Sa Qier suddenly said to Qi Bei after signing the contract.

“So urgent?” Qi Bei raised an eyebrow.

Sa Qier didn’t answer, she just bit her lower lip and suddenly rushed forward, embracing Qi Bei’s neck, standing on her tiptoes, and giving him a gentle kiss on the lips before quickly turning around and leaving.

Qi Bei didn’t chase after her. Perhaps the time was too short, and too much would do more harm than good. She should be developing feelings for him. Give her some time to sort things out. After all, the collaborative relationship was established, and there would be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.

However, what surprised Qi Bei was that Sa Qier didn’t depart the next day as she had said. Instead, she gathered the merchant caravan and left the city of West Spirit that same night. At the moment Sa Qier set off, Qi Bei received the news, but he didn’t show up. He only stood on the city wall, watching from a distance as the caravan disappeared into the night.

“Master, why didn’t you keep her?” Xiao Jiu silently appeared behind Qi Bei and asked softly.

“Emotions are like a net, both men and women are caught in it. If it’s too loose, they drift apart, and if it’s too tight, they suffocate,” Qi Bei said calmly.

Xiao Jiu remained silent. Standing quietly in Qi Bei’s shadow, she realized that emotions were indeed like a net, but she wasn’t entangled in it.

…..

In the Divine Dragon Army, the selection of Qi Bei’s personal guards, the Divine Dragon Guards, began. Only eight hundred people would be chosen as the Divine Dragon Guards, who would become his closest confidants. Naturally, the selection process was extremely strict.

Qi Bei didn’t pay too much attention to it. He delegated the task of selecting the personal guards to Lie Feng, while he himself started arranging certain individuals into various countries through the Sa Family Business Association, building his own influence.

Finally, the list of the selected eight hundred Divine Dragon Guards reached Qi Bei’s hands, and among them were the names of Du Shou, Yi Shiba, and to his surprise, Sa Lingling, who had become the leader of the Divine Dragon Guards.

“Lie Feng, what’s going on?” Qi Bei pointed at Sa Lingling’s name and asked. She had never entered the military camp, so how did she qualify to become the leader of the eight hundred Divine Dragon Guards?

Lie Feng smiled and said, “Lord, I strictly followed the rules in the selection process, and Sa Lingling is definitely qualified to become the leader of the Divine Dragon Guards. If the Lord doesn’t believe it, you can give it a try.”

Qi Bei was somewhat astonished. He knew Lie Feng wouldn’t deceive him, but out of curiosity, he still said, “Let’s go to the military camp and take a look.”

In the military camp, Sa Lingling was dressed in military attire, standing before him with the eight hundred Divine Dragon Guards, exuding a heroic and imposing presence.

Qi Bei immediately selected three thousand elite soldiers from the camp and had Sa Lingling lead the eight hundred Divine Dragon Guards in practical combat training. This training was not about brute force but rather conducted in complex terrains and under various adverse conditions.

The results surprised him. Sa Lingling’s command style was incredibly cunning. She employed ambushes, divided her forces, and engaged in psychological warfare, defeating the three thousand elite soldiers of the Divine Dragon Army as if they were an overwhelming force, displaying the demeanor of a great general.

As Sa Lingling looked at Qi Bei’s astonished expression, she couldn’t contain her excitement. Standing tall and straight, there was no trace of self-doubt or timidity in her eyes.

“Have you served in the military before?” Qi Bei asked Sa Lingling.

“No, but I graduated from the Saint Yana Alliance Military Academy, specializing in battlefield command. Although I haven’t had real combat experience, no one was my match in the war simulations at the academy,” Sa Lingling proudly replied.

“Very good. In fact, you are no worse than your sister. She is a business genius, and you are a military genius,” Qi Bei laughed. He truly hadn’t expected his luck to be so good.

Sa Lingling smiled, and the radiance of confidence filled her ordinary face, making it shine brilliantly. Confidence made people beautiful, and it was indeed true.

“Alright, now that the Divine Dragon Guards have been established, let’s change into the new armor immediately,” Qi Bei said eagerly, wanting the eight hundred sets of low-grade Skybreaking Armor, which had already been manufactured, to be equipped by the Divine Dragon Guards.

Soon, the eight hundred Divine Dragon Guards finished changing into their new armor and appeared before Qi Bei, wearing the Skybreaking Armor.

The Skybreaking Armor was incredibly lightweight, as light as a feather, but its defensive capabilities were much stronger than the standard armor of the Black Armored Army. Moreover, it possessed terrifying offensive power. Qi Bei personally explained how to use the armor and then began testing it.

“Divine Dragon Guards, listen up! Prepare… attack!” Sa Lingling started to command the attack.

Under her command, two metal tubes suddenly extended from the wrist area of the Skybreaking Armor worn by each of the eight hundred Divine Dragon Guards. The moment she shouted the command to attack, beams of energy were simultaneously fired from the tubes.

“Boom!”

Debris flew in the target area, creating a chaotic scene filled with deep holes.

Such incredible power! Everyone widened their eyes in astonishment. This kind of attack was almost too insane. If it were to penetrate an enemy camp, a single energy beam could pierce through multiple people’s bodies. And with eight hundred people firing one thousand six hundred beams of energy at once, even a King-grade powerhouse would be riddled with holes.

However, Sa Lingling was quick to adapt. She began controlling the eight hundred guards to perform various formations of attacks, crossing and overlapping, volleying with no blind spots, regardless of height…

After several rounds of attack, the magical crystals on the Skybreaking Armor depleted their energy and turned into ashes. This was the only drawback of the Skybreaking Armor—its consumption of magic crystals was too fast.

“You all saw it. The Skybreaking Armor is powerful, but it’s still just a piece of equipment. You must not rely too heavily on it. The attack capabilities of the Skybreaking Armor should only be used in critical moments. Therefore, you still need to improve your own strength. The downfall of the Goblin civilization was not accidental. If you’re not strong enough, no matter how powerful external objects are, the end result will still be destruction,” Qi Bei said loudly.

“Lord, you’re right. The attack of the Skybreaking Armor is most effective when it catches the enemy off guard. Moreover, even if there is sufficient magic crystal energy, it takes time to embed them,” Sa Lingling said.

Qi Bei nodded, patted Sa Lingling’s shoulder, and turned away.

Sa Lingling’s gaze flickered for a moment. She followed Qi Bei’s figure with her eyes for a while before snapping back to reality and starting the special training for the eight hundred Divine Dragon Guards.

…

…

When Qi Bei returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, Mi Qi bounced out of the hall and jumped onto his back.

“City Lord, have your personal guards equipped the Skybreaking Armor? Don’t you want to thank me for this great achievement?” Mi Qi charmingly smiled, seeking recognition.

“What do you want?” Qi Bei reached back and patted Mi Qi’s little bottom, pulling her down from his back.

“I want to sleep with you and Sister Huan Ying tonight,” Mi Qi said.

“Alright,” Qi Bei agreed. After all, it wasn’t the first time.

Mi Qi happily laughed and jumped up, buzzing around Qi Bei.

“By the way, did you translate those texts I gave you last time?” Qi Bei grabbed Mi Qi’s little braid and pulled her closer to him. This girl was almost making him dizzy with her constant bouncing.

“I translated a small part of it, but the meaning hasn’t been pieced together, so I still don’t understand what it’s about. Maybe it will take another year or so to figure it out,” Mi Qi said as she sat on Qi Bei’s thigh, swinging her small feet. She seemed unstoppable, like a wound-up toy that couldn’t stop spinning.
