"Among those who stand at the pinnacle, does such a malevolent, scheming, and cold-blooded person like Jun Xiaoyao deserve a place?"
Xiao Chen, having journeyed all the way here, heard all sorts of rumors about Jun Xiaoyao, which made his face turn grim, unable to resist cursing.
Beside him, Wu Mingyue remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
She had gradually realized that Xiao Chen might not be as perfect as she had imagined.
Xiao Chen’s ruthless actions against Jun Wanjie made her see a stranger within him.
And now, Xiao Chen’s face was filled with hatred, but deep down, it was actually full of jealousy.
Of course, Wu Mingyue couldn’t distance herself from Xiao Chen just because of these reasons.
After all, Xiao Chen had many good qualities, being tenacious, unyielding, and treating her well.
Xiao Chen noticed that Wu Mingyue seed troubled, thinking she was worried about returning to the court, and couldn’t help but ask, "Mingyue, is there really no way?"
At these words, Wu Mingyue slightly shook her head and said, "I suppose my guardian has already arrived."
Just as she finished speaking, an elderly woman dressed in palace robes approached from the distant void, landing in front of Wu Mingyue.
"Saint..." Xiao Chen’s heart sunk.
The pressure emanating was unmistakably from a Saint.
The elderly woman in palace robes saw Wu Mingyue and made a slight bow, "Your Highness, Princess, you’ve made it quite hard for this old one to find you."
"Nanny Gui, you’ve indeed found your way here," Wu Mingyue sighed lightly, unsurprised.
"Your Highness, Princess, you’ve caused enough of a scene; it’s ti to return," Nanny Gui said.
"Hmph, and what awaits upon return? Marrying that arrogant, harem-collecting Champion Marquis?" Wu Mingyue sneered.
"It doesn’t necessarily have to be so. Only the most outstanding man is worthy of you, Princess.
"This ti, the Divine Dynasty will hold a grand banquet, inviting young heroes from various forces of the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm to decide the final candidate for Prince Consort."
"Also, this old one has heard that the Jun Family’s Divine Son is here too. Does the Princess have any association with him? If it’s him, he might be a good choice as well." Nanny Gui suggested with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mingyue’s expression beca slightly unnatural.
How could it just be an association?
She had already beco Jun Xiaoyao’s female slave.
But this was known only to her and Jun Xiaoyao.
As for Xiao Chen, upon hearing this, he was imdiately enraged.
Nanny Gui of all people ntioned Jun Xiaoyao, practically hitting Xiao Chen’s sore spot.
"Hmph, does Jun Xiaoyao deserve even a finger of Mingyue?" Xiao Chen said coldly.
"Hmm? Where does this wild kid co from, speaking to like that?" Nanny Gui frowned, releasing a Saint’s pressure.
Xiao Chen was no Jun Xiaoyao; how could he withstand the pressure of a Saint.
He imdiately vomited a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
Wu Mingyue’s expression changed, softly crying out, "Nanny Gui, stop it!"
"Princess, who is this boy?" Nanny Gui asked.
"He is the Eldest Prince of the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country," Wu Mingyue said.
"Oh, so it’s a prince of a minor country," Nanny Gui said with a disdainful expression.
As a Saint of the Panwu Divine Dynasty, she truly had the right to look down upon others.
"This old witch..." Xiao Chen got up, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face cold and harsh, thinking bitterly.
"Xiao Chen, I’m sorry, are you alright?" Wu Mingyue asked.
Nanny Gui observed and said indifferently, "Princess, please understand your status. A prince of a minor country is not fit to be with you."
"Your husband should at least be a Celestial Pride Supre like the Jun Family’s Divine Son."
"Enough, Nanny Gui, stop it. Mingyue will go back with you." Wu Mingyue ordered her to stop.
Because she already saw the terribly oppressive expression on Xiao Chen’s face.
"Princess, please." Nanny Gui was too uninterested in quarreling with a minor character like Xiao Chen and said calmly.
Wu Mingyue followed without looking back.
Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly and shouted coldly, "Do not look down on people, for when the day Mingyue chooses her Prince Consort cos, I, Xiao Chen, will certainly set foot in the Divine Dynasty Imperial Palace!"
"Huh, a self-overestimating ant," Nanny Gui paid no mind and left with Wu Mingyue.
Wu Mingyue looked back, her lips slightly parted.
Seeing Xiao Chen’s resolute face, the cruel truth remained unspoken.
If she were to say now that she had already beco Jun Xiaoyao’s female slave,
Xiao Chen would probably explode on the spot, wouldn’t he?
"Alas, I can only take it one step at a ti and see if there might be a chance for Jun Xiaoyao to remove the Slave Mark," Wu Mingyue thought with a sigh.
Xiao Chen watched Wu Mingyue walk away step by step, his fists tightly clenched, blood dripping drop by drop from his fingers.
"Ancestor, now that the Dragon Bone is lost, what should we do?" Xiao Chen asked in his heart.
Without the Dragon Bone, his Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique could not progress further, and his strength would be stunted.
By then, what would he have to compete for affection?
His head?
"Alas, that Jun Family’s Divine Son is truly fearso..." Cyan Dragon Ascendant sighed.
He had never seen soone so terrifyingly powerful and scheming at such a young age.
By comparison, though Xiao Chen was excellent, he fell far short.
"Ancestor, I must beco strong, marry Mingyue, and beco the Prince Consort of the Panwu Divine Dynasty; otherwise, there’s no way to deal with Jun Xiaoyao." Xiao Chen gritted his teeth silently.
He wasn’t foolish either.
He imagined a possibly successful path for himself.
"In that case, there’s only one last solution." Cyan Dragon Ascendant sighed.
"Please tell , Ancestor, as long as there’s a glimr of hope, I won’t give up!" Xiao Chen’s eyes brightened, eager.
"Do you know where this Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique of mine originally ca from?" Cyan Dragon Ascendant suddenly inquired.
"Please enlighten , Ancestor," Xiao Chen said.
"This technique of mine was acquired by accident in an Ancient Nest Secret Realm, and within that Ancient Nest, an ancient monstrosity of the Ancestral Dragon Nest might be sealed," Cyan Dragon Ascendant said.
"Ancestral Dragon Nest, ancient monstrosity?" Xiao Chen showed a look of surprise.
Indeed, so Celestial Prides in their respective eras, for various reasons, sealed themselves within Immortal Divine Origin, waiting for a future era to reerge with the opportunity to prove their Dao.
These Celestial Prides are called ancient monstrosities, each terrifying in their own right, capable of sweeping through their era.
Those self-sealed for several eras were manageable, with not too great of a gap compared to contemporary Celestial Prides.
But those self-sealed for tens or even hundreds of eras, those ancient monstrosities were terrifying beyond common sense.
"That Ancient Nest is extrely secretive; even the Ancestral Dragon Nest might be unaware," Cyan Dragon Ascendant said.
"Ancestor, this opportunity you ntioned is..." Xiao Chen asked.
"Within that Ancient Nest is self-sealed an ancient monstrosity of incredible origins; you might have the chance to discover the Blood of the Ultimate Venerable of the Azure Dragon Lineage there."
"With that Blood of the Ultimate Venerable, your Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique still has the potential for Great Success," Cyan Dragon Ascendant explained.
"Very well, I will make a trip to that Ancient Nest," Xiao Chen clenched his fist, extrely excited.
"Of course, you must be careful; if you awaken that ancient monstrosity, the entire Immortal Realm might be shaken."
"The younger generation in the Immortal Realm might not have anyone capable of defeating that ancient monstrosity," Cyan Dragon Ascendant’s tone was slightly solemn.
An ancient monstrosity awakening was not a trivial matter.
It might oppress the contemporary Celestial Prides into suffocation, with no one able to contest it.
But at this mont, Xiao Chen did not hear the warning.
He only wanted to obtain the Blood of the Ultimate Venerable of the Azure Dragon Lineage, to beco stronger, and then go to the Panwu Divine Dynasty to compete for affection.
As for the consequences of awakening an ancient monstrosity, what did that have to do with him?
