Chapter 406

After uncovering the information, Jun Xiaoyao instantly crushed the Thunder Monkey clan's prodigy with a single palm strike.

Princess Long Ji's gaze toward Jun Xiaoyao was unnatural.

Although Jun Xiaoyao was her enemy, she could not deny it.

Without Jun Xiaoyao, she would not only have failed to uncover the mastermind behind it all, but might even have lost her life.

Yet Princess Long Ji still harbored resentment toward Jun Xiaoyao, for he had humiliated her and seen her naked.

"Now that you know the mastermind, rest and heal first, then seek revenge. As for our grudge, I shall give you the chance to challenge me when the time comes."

Jun Xiaoyao spoke with casual indifference.

Upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Princess Long Ji fell silent.

She could not fathom what kind of man he was.

Say he was evil—he was indeed evil to the extreme, cunning beyond measure, making her want to scream in frustration.

But this time, Jun Xiaoyao not only saved her, but also helped her uncover the mastermind.

As her enemy and rival, Jun Xiaoyao had no obligation to do any of this—he could have simply watched her die.

"Rest on your own. I won't heal you," Jun Xiaoyao said, turning to leave.

Watching Jun Xiaoyao's retreating figure, Princess Long Ji was momentarily dazed.

Long moments passed before she let out a deep sigh: "Jun Xiaoyao, what kind of man are you?"

With a sigh, Princess Long Ji also returned to the secluded valley to heal her injuries.

She vowed to make Ao Luan pay with blood.

On this side, Lei Mingyuan looked at Jun Xiaoyao, his admiration so thick it could not be diluted.

"Divine Son, you are truly divine! My reverence for you flows like an endless river." Lei Mingyuan worshipped.

Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a faint smile: "It's nothing. Women are sometimes complex, sometimes simple—controlling them isn't hard."

"Only the Divine Son could accomplish this so easily," Lei Mingyuan said.

He knew full well that only Jun Xiaoyao had the privilege to do so; any other man would be lucky to earn even a glance from Princess Long Ji.

"Hah, Princess Long Ji is just a tool. Now let's see what happens with Long Ao—perhaps we'll witness an amazing double-dragon clash," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.

Compared to brute force and domination, this feeling of manipulating enemies at will seemed rather satisfying.

Jun Xiaoyao was like a god, controlling the entire situation!

On the other side, Long Ao knew nothing of these events.

He was meditating, preparing to seize the opportunity when the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake erupted.

As for Ao Luan and Bai Meier, Long Ao imposed no restrictions on them—they could seek their own opportunities.

Just then, Bai Meier's voice came from nearby.

"Ao Tian brother."

Long Ao opened his eyes, saw Bai Meier had returned, and smiled: "Mèi'er is back. Soon, we can head to the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake together."

But Bai Meier's expression was unnatural.

Long Ao noticed this immediately.

He frowned: "Mèi'er, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Bai Meier shook her head slightly: "No, it's just… Ao Tian brother, while seeking opportunities outside, I accidentally saw something I shouldn't have."

"Something you shouldn't have seen? What do you mean?" Long Ao was puzzled.

"Ao Tian brother, I'm not sure whether I should tell you, but please don't get too agitated," Bai Meier hesitated.

"What is it? Tell me—I've got good composure," Long Ao said calmly.

His temperament was indeed strong, and he possessed an invincible heart; otherwise, he could never have reached this point relying solely on luck.

"Sigh…" Bai Meier let out a soft sigh, then pulled out a Light-Shadow Stone.

"This is something I happened to witness, and I secretly recorded it."

The Light-Shadow Stone flickered, revealing scene after scene.

The first scene showed Jun Xiaoyao embracing Princess Long Ji.

Long Ao's lips had just been curled in a casual smile.

But at this moment, he froze completely, his eyes slowly widening, veins bulging one by one along his temples.

"This… this…"

Long Ao stared with wide, unblinking eyes at the scene.

The exquisite beauty in Jun Xiaoyao's arms—wasn't that Princess Long Ji?

As for Jun Xiaoyao, the Ancestral Dragon Nest had previously analyzed his abilities in detail for Long Ao, so Long Ao naturally recognized this white-robed young master as Jun Xiaoyao.

Precisely because he knew, Long Ao was so stunned.

"How is this possible?" Long Ao blurted out, furious enough to make his liver tremble.

How could Princess Long Ji possibly be involved with Jun Xiaoyao?

It made no sense whatsoever.

Seeing Long Ao's reaction, Bai Meier hid mockery deep in her eyes, yet her face wore an expression of disbelief.

"Yes, I couldn't believe it either—Princess Long Ji and Jun Xiaoyao were mortal enemies, how could they end up together?"

"But I did secretly witness it—Princess Long Ji wandered into a killing array and was injured, and Jun Xiaoyao rescued her."

Hearing Bai Meier's words, Long Ao took a deep breath.

He scrutinized the footage carefully—it was no illusion or deception.

That meant it was real.

Yet before Long Ao could recover from this shock,

the next shocking scene sent his mind roaring, as if his five viscera were being scorched with rage.

This scene showed Jun Xiaoyao healing the unconscious Princess Long Ji.

Although Jun Xiaoyao's figure obscured her body,

the pale white shoulder revealed that Princess Long Ji's upper body was likely completely naked.

Seeing this, Long Ao's face flushed crimson, his blood surged to his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Damn it!"

Long Ao let out a deafening roar, his aura exploding violently.

At this moment, he didn't even know whether to hate Princess Long Ji or Jun Xiaoyao.

Long Ao felt his head was now covered in a lush, glowing green meadow.

Although Princess Long Ji had never had any real connection with him,

in Long Ao's heart, she was already his Empress.

His Empress, embraced and seen naked by another man—this was unbearable, utterly undignified.

Worse still, the man was his mortal enemy.

Could anything be more devastating to Long Ao?

Long Ao's temperament was indeed strong—but only in cultivation.

When it came to women, Long Ao tolerated not a single speck of dust.

"Damn it! Princess Long Ji, you hypocrite! When I pursued you, you were so cold, aloof, untouched by mortal desires—now you're with Jun Xiaoyao!"

Long Ao raged uncontrollably, his magic power surging wildly, shaking the surrounding void.

He hated it so much!

Princess Long Ji had pretended to be cold and distant before him, refusing even to let him touch her finger.

Now, the cabbage he had claimed as his own had been harvested first by Jun Xiaoyao.

For a man like Long Ao, who aspired to become a harem king, this was utterly unacceptable.

Watching Long Ao's furious state, Bai Meier's eyes brimmed with contempt.

"Of course—this Long Ao is no match for Jun Xiaoyao at all. He's just a fool driven by lust!" Bai Meier sneered inwardly.

She increasingly wondered if she had once been insane—how could she have ever liked a man who thought with his lower body?

In contrast, Jun Xiaoyao had countless beauties around him, yet never lingered on any.

He passed through a sea of flowers without a single petal sticking to him.

Such a man, untouched by mortal desires, was Bai Meier's true cold, ethereal moonlight.
