The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 179 Dragon Realm

In the living room, Daniel was focused on carving something with a small knife. Jessica moved closer and was shocked to find that what Daniel had in his hands was actually the piece of top- quality Imperial Green Jade. Already, the Jade had been carved into an unrecognizable mess by Daniel's handiwork.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm crafting the Dragon Realm. It has to be made with the finest Imperial Green Jade. Nothing else would work."

"Dragon Realm? Ha!" Jessica scoffed, annoyed. "Your mind must have been devoured by dragons. A piece of Imperial Green Jade worth a billion, and you've just destroyed it!"

"Destroyed the billion-dollar Imperial Green Jade? Then why don’t you seem bothered at all?"

"What’s there for me to be bothered about? Since I met you, why would I care about a piece of jade?"

Jessica gave Daniel a pointed look and asked, “What’s the point of this Dragon Realm anyway?”

"It's to nurture the Grass of Seven Dragons."

"The Grass of Seven Dragons?"

"Isn’t your wedding gift called the Grass of the Sealed Dragon? That’s just one of the Seven. And me, I need to collect all seven pieces."

"And what happens if you don't gather all the grass?"

"I don’t know! But my master warned me, if I fail to collect all the Grass of Seven Dragons, I could be struck down by divine punishment at any moment, like lightning. Maybe one day I'll be walking down the street, and zap, a bolt from the blue could strike me dead!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Don’t say that! You're still in your trial period. If you let lightning strike you dead, I'll crush you to ashes myself!"

After completing the last incision, Daniel beamed, "Done! The Dragon Realm is finished. Now, just the final step—we need to give it a bath."

"A bath? With what?"

"Vodka, of course! And it has to be vodka aged over fifty years!"

Daniel looked at Jessica with a teasing smile and said, “Darling, could you grab a bottle for me, please?”

"What do you mean? Daniel, are you asking me to run errands?"

"Brittany isn't here, so I can only ask my dear you to make a trip."

"Don't call me darling! I won't be running errands for you, Daniel!"

Despite her protest, Jessica put down the wooden box on the coffee table and then walked out the door, heels clacking firmly.

Though her words disagreed, her actions told another story. It seems women can be contrary creatures.

Soon enough, Jessica returned, holding a bottle of vintage vodka in her hand, each one worth over five million, carefully aged for over fifty years or more. These were treasures Joseph had collected

over a long time, too precious for him to even consider drinking. Yet today, Jessica had brought them all for Daniel.

Taking the vodka, Daniel opened it and took a whiff. "This is indeed vodka aged over fifty years. No wonder they say you're the preeminent family in New York—you really do have all sorts of treasures!"

"This is from my grandfather’s personal collection! I brought all of it to you! You have to understand, even my grandfather couldn't bring himself to drink these two bottles!"

"Then thank your grandfather for me! No, I'll thank him myself tomorrow!" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Hurry up and do it. I want to see what this so-called Dragon Realm will look like after a bath in fifty- year-old vodka. If, after you waste these two bottles, nothing happens, I’m going to have to teach you a lesson.”
