The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 179

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!"
