That palanquin bears the Vermilion Bird totem—isn’t that the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom’s carriage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. Rumor says the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom’s royal family uses fire-spirit sparrows to pull their carriages. Could this be the famed Princess Bai Yuer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And it’s heading toward the Jun family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival of this palanquin stirred widespread discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the carriage halted outside the Jun family’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the entire Jun family domain, any outsider daring to fly through the sky would be deemed an invader and instantly eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palanquin’s curtain parted, and a tall, slender woman with long legs stepped out, clad in a red feather robe—Bai Yuer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come alone, without any attendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer gazed across the Jun family territory, where countless divine islands floated in the void, and various paradises exuded radiant auroras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left her heart shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom was a first-rank power with renown far and wide, compared to the ancient wasteland clan Jun family, it was insignificant—no real comparison existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet immediately, a faint smirk of confidence and disdain curled on Bai Yuer’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if the Jun family was exalted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Jun family prodigy still coveted her body and offered her the Immortal Herb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Yuer had already decided: she would not easily surrender her body to that Jun family prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was betrothed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything happened, wouldn’t the Crown Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom be left with a green crown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having thought it through, Bai Yuer stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Jun family’s gate, elite guards stood like iron towers, their blood qi surging violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Halt. State your name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jun family guard spoke coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Bai Yuer, Princess of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, here to pay respects to Jun Linglong.” Bai Yuer replied coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pay respects to a noble lady? Do you have proof? If not, leave.” The guard spoke indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer’s beautiful face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a princess of a nation, yet even a gatekeeper of the Jun family dared to rebuke her so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since she had come seeking something, she swallowed her pride and produced the jade slip used to communicate with Jun Linglong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enter.” The guard waved his hand indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer bit her lip. Her status as a princess meant nothing before the Jun family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Jun Linglong had found Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Son, she has arrived,” Jun Linglong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go see this princess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao rose, clad in white robes, elegant and refined. Though only eight years old, his figure was tall and slender like a youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Bai Yuer walked into a garden resembling a celestial paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong had arranged to meet her here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Bai Yuer heard footsteps and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There came a tall youth, his skin like celestial jade, walking slowly toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed a divine child—his form exquisite, his face peerlessly handsome, surrounded by a faint halo of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen many heavenly prodigies and young elites, all handsome and charismatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to this youth, they were fireflies beside the moon, mud eels beside true dragons—utterly incomparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her own betrothed, the Crown Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, though refined and gifted, paled into insignificance beside this boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Linglong in her imperial gown followed a half-step behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this detail, Bai Yuer drew a deep breath inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong was a noble lady of the Jun family—the very person Bai Yuer had to flatter and curry favor with—and now she seemed like a servant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just who is this Jun family prodigy? Could he be a Sequence?” Bai Yuer’s heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are Bai Yuer?” Jun Xiaoyao asked coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Bai Yuer gave a slight bow, but with reserved dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had regained her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how exalted this boy was, he still desired something from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, she had no need to be humble or lower herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wish for an Immortal Herb to save your father?” Jun Xiaoyao continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. I humbly beg the young master to extend his aid,” Bai Yuer replied calmly, her tone devoid of any humility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attitude felt…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she hadn’t come to beg for the herb, but to demand it as her due.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Can you give me a reason? After all, Immortal Herbs don’t fall from the sky.” Jun Xiaoyao said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer’s beautiful face paused, then curled into a faint sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was with intent, then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Yuer would never trade her body for the Immortal Herb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke: “Young master, you are no ordinary person, surely holding high status within the Jun family—you cannot lack Immortal Herbs. To give one would save a life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, saving my father saves the lives of billions of subjects in the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For you, it is but a small act, yet it gains virtue and renown. Surely you would not refuse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer stood upon the moral high ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao has the power to help—why not help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greater ability brings greater responsibility—does it not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these somewhat familiar words, Jun Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reminded him of those online keyboard warriors from his past life who pressured celebrities and billionaires to donate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I’m being morally blackmailed now?” Jun Xiaoyao felt a wave of exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1404,"2026-06-20T23:29:44.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ad071a88fdd56a7307497b9630f038df48b7213ef44a047b7333aadf3f237b1c","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-14","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-12",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
