Chapter 16

Inside a bedchamber of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

The Zhu Que Lord lay on the bed, surrounded by a group of alchemists and imperial physicians of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

But they had no way to deal with the Zhu Que Lord's illness.

The Zhu Que Lord's illness was caused several years ago when he and the Azure Dragon Lord went to explore a secret realm together and were injured by a primeval relic beast comparable to a Saint-level, the Nine-Evil Snake Demon.

The venom of the Nine-Evil Snake Demon was hard for even a Saint to resist.

Let alone the Zhu Que Lord, who was a quasi-Saint.

"Sigh, what should we do now? The princess went to the Jun clan, not only did she not get the Undying Medicine, but she was also humiliated."

"What can we do? We can't go and find trouble with the Jun clan, can we? Isn't that looking for death?"

A group of alchemists, imperial physicians, and ministers of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom all shook their heads and sighed.

They couldn't afford to provoke an Ancient Clan.

So even though they heard that Bai Yu'er was humiliated and knelt, the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom had no intention of settling the score.

The Zhu Que Lord on the bed heard this and started coughing, his face full of gray defeat.

However, at this moment, a guard ran in from outside and said hurriedly: "Report to Your Majesty, distinguished guests have arrived at our Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom and demand to see Your Majesty!"

A minister heard this, immediately flicked his sleeves, and shouted angrily: "You blind thing, don't you see the current physical condition of the Lord? How dare you disturb the Lord!"

Just as the minister's voice fell, a delicate voice of a woman came from the entrance of the hall.

"The Zhu Que Lord shouldn't be terminally ill yet, right? Since that's the case, why can't we see him?"

"Looking for death, who is it!?" Anger surged on the minister's face.

"How dare you shout at my young lady! Presumptuous!"

An old figure appeared, flicked her sleeves, and a surging quasi-Saint cultivation base erupted.

With a puff!

That minister immediately spat out blood, and his figure flew backward!

Inside the hall, everyone from the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom froze, their legs trembling, terrified to the extreme!

Quasi-Saint aura!

Even the most powerful Lord of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom only had a quasi-Saint cultivation base!

Everyone looked over with trembling eyes.

They saw an old woman in hemp clothes walking in with an indifferent expression.

Behind her was a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire.

Her golden hair was scattered, her hair was smooth, her face was crystal clear like jade, and her beauty was moving.

It was Jun Linglong and Granny Hua.

"It's the noble lady of the Jun clan..." Some ministers felt huge waves in their hearts.

Jun Linglong still had quite a reputation in the outside world, so they recognized her at a glance.

And the minister who had scolded her earlier was now bleeding from the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of fear, collapsing to the ground, unable to get up.

"Ahem... I didn't expect the noble lady of the Jun clan to come. Are you here to question our crimes?"

On the bed, the Zhu Que Lord struggled to get up, his face showing exhaustion.

Not long ago, news spread that Bai Yu'er had offended the Divine Child of the Jun clan and knelt outside his bedchamber.

And now the Jun clan people had arrived.

If they weren't here to question crimes, what were they here for?

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom in the hall trembled, their hearts filled with fear.

If the Jun clan wanted to wipe out the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom, it really wouldn't take much effort.

The Zhu Que Lord also resigned himself to his fate, so he was still calm.

"Is my Divine Child the kind of big demon who wipes out families at every turn? You should be grateful for the Divine Child's kindness." Jun Linglong covered her mouth and smiled faintly.

"Hmm?" The Zhu Que Lord and the others were all blank.

Could it be that the Jun clan wasn't here to question crimes?

Jun Linglong took a step forward, her jade hand wiping across her void ring.

Suddenly, purple light surged, medicine fragrance permeated, and a medicinal herb shaped like a Qilin appeared in everyone's eyes.

"That is... the Undying Medicine!"

Everyone in the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom widened their eyes, almost unable to breathe.

The Zhu Que Lord also had a look of slight horror on his face.

Every time an Undying Medicine appeared, it would cause a stir in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

And now, Jun Linglong took out an Undying Medicine so easily, which shocked them, like country bumpkins seeing a golden mountain.

Granny Hua on the side saw the performance of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom people, and a look of disdain couldn't help but appear in her old eyes.

"Zhu Que Lord, now I give you two choices: submit to the Divine Child, and you can obtain the Undying Medicine."

"If you don't agree, then fend for yourself." Jun Linglong's tone was indifferent.

In front of Within Jun Xiaoyao, her attitude was humble.

But now, facing outsiders, she restored the temperament of a noble lady of the Jun clan.

"This..." The ministers of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom all changed their expressions.

They understood the meaning in Jun Linglong's words.

It was to submit to the Jun clan's Divine Child, not to submit to the Jun clan.

The difference between these two was huge.

If they submitted to the Ancient Jun clan, it wouldn't be unacceptable for the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

After all, there were many top-level orthodoxies that were vassals of the Jun clan.

But if it was just submitting to Within Jun Xiaoyao alone.

That was a bit unglamorous for a top-level orthodoxy.

"Unwilling? Do you know what a great honor it is to be able to submit to the Divine Child?" Jun Linglong raised her eyebrows, her face slightly cold.

A struggle flashed in the Zhu Que Lord's eyes, and finally, he sighed and said: "This Emperor agrees. Thank the Jun clan's Divine Child for me, I just hope he won't make things difficult for Yu'er."

It had already reached this point, did the Zhu Que Lord have any other choice?

"Don't worry, the Divine Child is only punishing Bai Yu'er slightly; he won't do anything to her." Jun Linglong said indifferently.

She handed the Qilin Undying Medicine to the Zhu Que Lord.

The Zhu Que Lord took the Undying Medicine, his hands trembling slightly.

After all, being able to live, who would want to die?

Not to mention being the lord of a kingdom.

"Improve your cultivation well. This Undying Medicine will not only heal your injuries but should also allow you to go a step further, so that you will be more useful to the Divine Child." Jun Linglong warned.

Hearing Jun Linglong's words, all the ministers were speechless.

Was this clearly treating the Zhu Que Lord as a tool-man subordinate?

"This Emperor understands." The Zhu Que Lord nodded; he had no dissatisfaction, and excitement appeared in his eyes instead.

Above the quasi-Saint was the Saint.

Relying on this Qilin Undying Medicine, perhaps he could really break through to the Saint Realm.

"Remember, this is the grace bestowed upon you by the Divine Child. If you dare to have even a hint of disloyalty..." Jun Linglong's tone was extremely cold.

She still used the carrot and stick method very skillfully.

"That is natural. From now on, the Divine Child will be the true master of our Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom." The Zhu Que Lord said respectfully.

Offending the Jun clan's Divine Child was also equivalent to offending the Jun clan.

Although their Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom was a first-class force, in front of the Jun clan, it was just a slightly larger ant.

"Just understand." Jun Linglong and Granny Hua turned and left.

The Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom was considered to have completely submitted to Within Jun Xiaoyao and become his vassal force.

Once Bai Yu'er was well-trained, Within Jun Xiaoyao would be able to better control the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

A few months passed, and inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Within Jun Xiaoyao stood up with a faint smile on his face.

"It's about time. Bai Yu'er has knelt for a year; it's time to train and subdue her."

And at the same time, in the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom area, a dragon chariot suddenly soared into the sky and swept toward the direction of the Jun clan.

The person inside the chariot was none other than the First Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, Watching Watching Xiao Chen.

"That move has been practiced; it's time to bring Yu'er back."

"And that Jun clan Divine Child, if I challenge him and defeat him, I will surely become famous in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, and the Jun clan won't be able to lose face and make things difficult for a junior like me."

Watching Watching Xiao Chen curled his lips into a confident smile.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's cub?

He, Watching Watching Xiao Chen, would break into the Jun clan alone, save the beauty in his arms, step on the Jun clan's Divine Child, and become famous everywhere.

Aren't those destiny protagonists in biographies and novels all like this?

Thinking of that scene, Watching Watching Xiao Chen felt a surge of hot blood and couldn't wait any longer.
