My father still needs the Immortality Pill to survive—he may not last a few more years!” Bai Yuer wept, her heart filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she’d known, she’d have accepted the terms humbly from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arrogance and pride had ruined her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You reap what you sow,” Jun Linglong said, offering no aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would not risk Jun Xiaoyao’s displeasure for a woman she barely knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will kneel outside the Divine Son’s chambers forever, begging his forgiveness!” Bai Yuer kept bowing, her forehead now streaked with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether for the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom, her father, or herself, Bai Yuer must earn Jun Xiaoyao’s pardon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Linglong shook her head slightly and let her be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, some Jun family members spotted a red-clad beauty kneeling motionless outside the Tiangong, Jun Xiaoyao’s chambers, her beautiful face filled with profound regret and resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Isn’t that the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom’s princess? Why is she kneeling there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shh, she offended the Divine Son. Don’t get involved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Jun family members avoided Bai Yuer, treating her like air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Tiangong, Jun Xiaoyao relaxed in a spiritual pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Son…” Jun Linglong entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Want to plead for her?” Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, she brought this on herself. But I think the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom behind her still holds value,” Jun Linglong mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She possessed the Seven-Holed Linglong Heart—shrewd, quick-witted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. I have my own plans for her. Her temperament is terrible—needs proper training. Let her wait for now,” Jun Xiaoyao said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he disliked Bai Yuer, he had no intention of abandoning the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Bai Yuer as a bridge, he could better control it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Son, you’re truly a bit wicked,” Jun Linglong gave him a rare side-eye, daringly pouting—adorably irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was only eight years old, she acted like an old sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with her Seven-Holed Linglong Heart, she couldn’t fathom his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I were truly wicked, I wouldn’t have just grabbed your waist just now,” Jun Xiaoyao said casually, his gaze trailing down Jun Linglong’s slender waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath her palace robe, the curve of her hips was full and alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Son, I’ll go now,” Jun Linglong felt his gaze, her face flushed, and she turned and fled in haste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, teasing this ice-clever maid was a good way to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Yuer’s betrothed… hmm, I hope he has some sense of self…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yuer must be tamed—she still has value to exploit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it better to train her into a slave and pawn than to kill her outright?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her betrothed—no matter his background or status, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Heaven-Defying Immortal Realm, how many young ones have higher status than him?\u003C\u002Fp>",1329,"2026-06-20T23:29:44.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b8aa3cf12399cf4e573429a31249f36a90bc84626efa077cd18a5a9aaa098c4c","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-15","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-13",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
