Dragging Bu Yaolian along, hehe… If their plan to kill the dragon failed, they could still push the blame on Shao Zun.
Who asked him to tell Bu Yaolian about dragon meat and not cook some for her? Who else could he blame but himself?
As soon as Bu Yaolian heard that there was dragon meat to eat, she came over.
“When are we taking action? Should we wait until it’s night?”
“We can’t wait until nightfall. They guard the underground palace at night, and security’s very tight. The best is during the day… We’ll go during the lunch break.”
“Then what should I prepare?”
“Prepare a few sacks to carry the dragon meat back,” said Gu Bailu.
Ah Luo raised her hand. “My lady, I’ll go find the sacks!”
“I don’t think we can kill the dragon in a short period of time. We can only chop off a few chunks of meat for a feast. With Ah Luo’s spiritual power and my support, we should be able to control the dragon. Lian’er, you slice off the flesh. Prepare a sharp knife.”
The reason she didn’t prepare it herself was because Feng Qingtian had forbidden her from touching anything sharp.
“My husband can’t know about this,” Gu Bailu warned.
“Won’t it be better to let him know? If he’s there, it’ll be easy to kill the dragon.”
Gu Bailu patted her head. “Do you dare tell Su Shenfan that you’re going to kill the dragon for its meat? I can’t eat any random things right now.”
“I was wrong.”
“Alright, it’s decided. You go and prepare.”
It was quiet in the imperial palace during the lunch break. The noble families had always lived good lives and had a habit of resting after lunch.
It was also when the palace guards were the most relaxed.
Wearing veiled hats and tight-fitting clothes, Gu Bailu, Ah Luo, and Bu Yaolian arrived at the sacrificial altar.
Ah Luo said excitedly, “My lady, there really is a dragon. It’s so big, we can eat for half a month.”
“Keep your voice down. Don’t attract the guards.”
The dragon was imprisoned under the altar, and there were no guards around it because it was unthinkable that anybody would dare to kill it.
Besides, nobody would provoke a dragon if they didn’t have a grudge against it.
Who would think that a few gluttons would have designs on it?
“The cage is locked. How are we going to get down?” asked Bu Yaolian.
“That’s easy.” Gu Bailu drew a circle on the golden net. “Open!”
A huge hole appeared in the net.
It wasn’t big enough for the dragon to fly out, but it was enough for them to go down.
“Ah Luo, jump down with Lian’er. Don’t let the dragon hurt the both of you.”
“Alright.” Ah Luo jumped in with Bu Yaolian.
Gu Bailu followed.
The golden dragon never expected that humans would jump into its territory, which it had occupied for hundreds of years.
It was obviously angry. It roared and was about to lash out its tail at them.
“Stick to the wall!” Gu Bailu shouted.
Under the altar was a circular passageway that was ten meters deep and ten meters wide. There was a huge pillar in the middle. The dragon flew around the pillar every day and stopped to rest when it was tired.
They stuck to the wall, and because the passageway was circular, the dragon’s tail swung out but couldn’t touch them.
“Brother Dragon, we don’t want your life. As long as you let us slice off some of your flesh for a good meal…” said Gu Bailu.
The dragon was infuriated. Even the emperor regarded it as a god!
Its tail lashed out again, and this time, it found the place and smashed in Gu Bailu’s direction.
Gu Bailu drew a teleportation rune, and the three of them jumped onto the golden dragon’s back. The dragon’s scales were as thick as gold, and no ordinary sword could pierce them.
