Chapter 127

Wu Mingyue stood frozen in place, completely unable to believe it.

Was this still the same Jun Xiaoyao who was like a devil?

And at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was so calm.

Was she really not important to Jun Xiaoyao at all?

If she wasn't important, why did he intervene to save her just now?

All sorts of thoughts churned in Wu Mingyue's heart.

She suddenly felt as if she had misunderstood Jun Xiaoyao from the very beginning.

He was actually a kind and upright good person.

It was just covered by his cold exterior.

Otherwise, why would Jun Xiaoyao save her?

And why, even when she lost the bet, did he remove the slave seal and return her freedom?

At this moment, watching Jun Xiaoyao's slowly departing back and the hint of indifference on his face,

Wu Mingyue suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

So she had been misunderstanding Jun Xiaoyao all along.

Jun Xiaoyao had once kindly warned her that Xiao Chen was using her.

But Wu Mingyue hadn't listened, instead thinking it was Jun Xiaoyao measuring a gentleman's heart with a villain's yardstick.

Thinking of this, Wu Mingyue could no longer hold back and blurted out, "Master!"

Jun Xiaoyao's footsteps paused.

Beside him, Jun Zhangjian's expression was one of astonishment, so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

The dignified Eldest Princess of a nation, Wu Mingyue, whose name was famous throughout the Huangtian Immortal Domain, would actually take the initiative to call him 'Master'?

This simply refreshed Jun Zhangjian's worldview.

Moreover, this wasn't coercion; Wu Mingyue had called it out voluntarily.

"Hmm? Didn't this Son of God already return your freedom?" Jun Xiaoyao frowned.

Wu Mingyue bit her lip, her face flushing slightly with embarrassment, but she still spoke, "Previously, it was Mingyue who misunderstood Master. Mingyue is willing to submit to Master sincerely."

After speaking, Wu Mingyue bowed deeply to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Damn!" Even Jun Zhangjian couldn't help but curse.

"You don't need to do this; I'm not lacking a slave like you." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.

"Master, Mingyue submits sincerely, not because of the bet." Wu Mingyue's expression revealed a hint of anxiety.

Her heart was empty, and only Jun Xiaoyao had left a mark.

If Jun Xiaoyao abandoned her now, wouldn't Wu Mingyue return to an empty state?

She did not want that.

"Sigh, very well. Since you are willing to follow, then so be it. I will find you when I need you." Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

"Yes, Mingyue will be loyal to Master for a lifetime. Besides, Master can already be considered..." Wu Mingyue's tone was hesitant.

"Considered what?" Jun Xiaoyao asked in return.

"Nothing." Wu Mingyue shook her head slightly.

She didn't say that Jun Xiaoyao could already be considered the Imperial Son-in-Law of the Panwu Divine Dynasty.

"Alright then, let's go back." Jun Xiaoyao stepped onto the Nine-Headed Lion, and Wu Mingyue followed closely behind.

After thinking it through completely, the more Wu Mingyue looked at Jun Xiaoyao, the more she felt he was like an immortal, handsome and peerless, leaving Xiao Chen behind by who knows how many streets.

"I am truly a fool. Why did I loathe such a handsome, immortal-like Master for the sake of an Xiao Chen back then?" Wu Mingyue cursed her own stupidity.

However, what she didn't know was that Jun Xiaoyao, with his back to her, had a curve at the corner of his mouth.

"The strategy of 'to let go in order to catch'—the ancients truly did not deceive me..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

This move was naturally a little trick he had played.

If he had bound her with the bet, Wu Mingyue would definitely not have submitted sincerely.

It was better to take a step back, directly erase Wu Mingyue's slave seal, and make her grateful.

Although Jun Xiaoyao could not guarantee that Wu Mingyue would continue to submit to him one hundred percent.

But even if she didn't submit, Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't care.

She was just a chess piece; if he threw her away, he threw her away.

Behind him, Jun Zhangjian's eyes revealed admiration.

His reverence for Jun Xiaoyao was like a surging river, endless.

To be able to train the Eldest Princess of an Immortal Divine Dynasty to be so obedient, it was probably only Jun Xiaoyao who could do it.

This matter also came to a temporary end.

Jun Xiaoyao, through various means, had completely caused Wu Mingyue and Xiao Chen to turn against each other and had won Wu Mingyue's heart.

But Jun Xiaoyao did not relax.

He vaguely felt that the storm had only just begun.

"It is time to return to the Jun Clan and properly digest the gains." Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.

He decided to return to the Jun Clan for a period of seclusion this time.

Jun Xiaoyao had a premonition that the next phase would be when the curtain truly rose; various heaven's pride experts would appear in turns, and the era of great contention was about to arrive.

Although Jun Xiaoyao had peerless talent and was further assisted by the system,

being steady was never a mistake.

Next, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned to the imperial capital and then set off with the Jun Clan members to return to the Jun Clan.

Wu Mingyue remained in the Panwu Divine Dynasty.

After all, the fact that she had submitted to Jun Xiaoyao was known only to her, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhangjian.

Xiao Chen, from beginning to end, did not know that Jun Xiaoyao had used him as leverage to plant a slave seal on Wu Mingyue.

If Xiao Chen knew, he would probably be able to figure out that all of this was Jun Xiaoyao's scheme of alienation.

On the return journey, Jun Xiaoyao was also sorting out his next plans.

The first was naturally to digest the fruits of battle.

The second was, when he had time, to visit the Saint Spirit Academy to see if he could trigger the transformation of his Supreme Bone.

The third was to descend to the Lower Realm, where there might be clues to the second volume of the Body Scripture; the Nine Great Heavenly Scriptures could not be forgotten.

In addition, there was the Bronze Immortal Palace, one of the Seven Great Wonders.

There was still one chance for a sign-in there.

It was just that this Bronze Immortal Palace depended too much on fate and would not appear if the time was not right.

Even with the Bronze Compass, Jun Xiaoyao could not grasp the slightest trace.

After passing through several teleportation arrays, a few days later, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned to the Jun Clan.

As soon as Jun Xiaoyao returned to the Jun Clan, he began his seclusion.

The first thing he had to do was to read the insights on the Huanggu Shengti left by the Panwu Great Emperor.

Jun Xiaoyao was not copying the Panwu Great Emperor's insights, but using them as a reference.

It was not that Jun Xiaoyao was arrogant; he felt that the Panwu Great Emperor's talent was likely not even comparable to his own.

The reason he looked at these insights was simply because Jun Xiaoyao wanted to accelerate the awakening of his own Huanggu Shengti phenomena.

During the time Jun Xiaoyao was in seclusion, the entire Huangtian Immortal Domain was still spreading Jun Xiaoyao's deeds.

If the ten-year banquet was when Jun Xiaoyao first revealed his brilliance,

then suppressing the Supreme Demon Corpse in the Yuantian Secret Treasury was what made Jun Xiaoyao's fame skyrocket.

And at the Panwu Divine Dynasty banquet, Jun Xiaoyao suppressing four heaven's pride experts single-handedly had completely established Jun Xiaoyao's status among the younger generation of the Immortal Domain.

Some even said that Jun Xiaoyao was the number one person among the younger generation of the Huangtian Immortal Domain.

Some agreed with this statement.

But more people were unimpressed.

Jun Xiaoyao's strength was beyond doubt, but the Immortal Domain was vast and boundless, with countless hidden talents.

Not to mention that the Young Emperor of the Wang Clan and the reincarnation of the Sword Demon of the Ye Clan had not yet emerged.

Even among the Ancient Imperial Clans, many ancient freaks were still sleeping.

Within the Life Forbidden Zones, there were also young supremes of the forbidden zones.

In addition, there were reincarnated supremes, reincarnated quasi-emperors, and so on.

Jun Xiaoyao's strength was indeed peerless among his peers, but to say he could suppress the countless heaven's pride experts of the Immortal Domain—many would not agree.

Just as the entire Immortal Domain seemed to have undercurrents surging,

the Jun Clan stirred up a wave.

The Jun Clan's First Sequence, that Double-Pupil bearer, had returned from an ancient forbidden zone!
