24: Chapter 24 Return to the Qin Dynasty

"Huh, there's actually a golden fortune, 'Peerless Elegance'? Can such a vile woman possess something like that?"

Ye Xuan curled his lips. Seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "But your destiny is truly interesting. A top-tier purple-grade Cauldron, heh, and an Innate Charm Body? Isn't this just nature providing entertainment for some old demon?"

Women with this constitution, if they lack powerful strength, will face an exceptionally pitiful fate in the future.

Becoming a plaything is the most normal outcome.

"However, based on this woman's aptitude, if given some time, I fear she could even reach the Great Emperor Realm. It's just too much of a pity."

Just as Saint Master Feng Linglong said about Ye Xuan, those with ordinary talent spend their lives in a mere few decades because their cultivation cannot advance. But isn't Saint Master Feng Linglong the same?

An Innate Charm Body and being a top-tier Cauldron are too dangerous for a female cultivator.

"And there's a destiny of 'Great Emperor Rebirth'? It seems this is a future Great Emperor reborn. It's just that this person's location is unknown right now; perhaps they are in the Northern Wilderness Region where the Phoenix Sacred Land is located."

Ye Xuan stared at this information, lost in thought.

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. If I ever meet him in the future, I must pluck this reborn person until he's bald.

"Didn't you brat say you had some words for your sister? Why do you keep staring at me?" Saint Master Feng Linglong's voice came suddenly. Although she hadn't turned around, her divine sense perception was still terrifying, and she immediately flared with a trace of pressure in annoyance.

However, upon turning around, Saint Master Feng Linglong discovered that Ye Xuan's eyes were ethereal yet held a trace of pity. She instantly felt the urge to punch cotton, and then she let out a cold snort and withdrew her pressure.

"This junior is curious about something. I wonder if Senior knows of Nangong Wudao from the Nangong Clan?" Ye Xuan intentionally used this name to probe Saint Master Feng Linglong.

"Heh, that old fellow is just a withered bone in a grave in the Northern Wilderness Region? Why are you so interested in him?"

Saint Master Feng Linglong looked at Ye Xuan with confusion, a trace of disgust flashing in her beautiful eyes: "I have heard that Nangong Wudao took the path of dual cultivation in his early years; he is a shameless scoundrel."

"Then Senior must be careful of this person. After all, my sister will need Senior's care in the future."

Ye Xuan pondered for a long time, but still gave Saint Master Feng Linglong a deep look.

After all, this woman counts as his sister's future master; if she can avoid trouble, that would naturally be the best outcome.

"Alright, if you brat are done reminiscing with your sister, stop talking nonsense. I am going to take her back to the Sacred Land now."

Saint Master Feng Linglong seemed to have thought of something. Could this brat know about her being a top-tier Cauldron?

"Besides, you are just a cultivator in the True Profound Realm, why are you asking about these things?"

Impossible. Could this brat, who only has a good-looking face, have such talent?

He's already sixteen and is only a late-stage True Profound Realm cultivator.

Forget it, perhaps I am overthinking it.

Saint Master Feng Linglong looked at Feng Xueni with great anticipation. This girl is the future of the Phoenix Sacred Land; the burden of strengthening the entire Sacred Land will surely fall on her shoulders in the future.

"Silly girl, there is no banquet in life that does not end, but brother hopes that we can meet again on the path of cultivation in the future!"

Ye Xuan kept it brief. He reached out again, gently pinched Feng Xueni's pretty face, and pulled it outward: "Go on, I will be waiting for you on the Heaven's Pride Ranking."

"Mm-hmm! Don't worry, Brother, Xueni will definitely become a Great Emperor in the future and protect you forever!" Feng Xueni threw herself into Ye Xuan's arms again, her eyes instantly becoming teary.

At this moment, Feng Xueni was filled with reluctance, but she knew that going to the Phoenix Sacred Land to cultivate was the best place to go. Only in this way could she become stronger and protect her brother.

"Although we are not biological siblings, I still treat you as my own sister. Grandpa Zhang entrusted you to me because he wanted you to live a better life..."

Ye Xuan recounted everything that had happened over these past few days, word by word, with reluctance.

From their first meeting until now, although the time was short, the impression was deeply profound.

"Silly girl, you have grown up. You've become a little fairy now, so you can't just cry in a man's arms anymore!" Ye Xuan gently wiped the tears from the girl's face with his hand and said softly.

"Ah... Brother is bad... Then will Brother be happy because you have a fairy sister?"

Feng Xueni instantly realized what Ye Xuan meant, her pretty face flushed red, and she took several steps back. Finally, she couldn't help but laugh, a smile as captivating as an ethereal fairy: "Brother, let's hug one more time!"

"Alright!"

Beneath the setting sun, two beautiful figures merged together once again.

"Ahem, ahem, that's enough reminiscing, you two siblings."

Although the scenery was beautiful, it made the black lines on Saint Master Feng Linglong's head grow more and more, even carrying a sense of resentment.

Over these years, not to mention people pursuing her, she hadn't even encountered anyone on par with her once.

Looking at these fake siblings before her, Saint Master Feng Linglong felt a surge of anger, but she quickly returned to calm: "Child, we should go."

"Brother, Xueni is really leaving now. We agreed, we will meet on the Heaven's Pride Ranking!"

Feng Xueni walked toward Saint Master Feng Linglong with reluctance, looking back every three steps.

"Let's go, child."

Saint Master Feng Linglong did not delay any longer. She flipped her hand to summon a spatial spiritual treasure and took Feng Xueni as they headed toward the Northern Wilderness Region.

The Phoenix Sacred Land is located in the Northern Wilderness Region, about hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Shenxuan Continent. Because she needed to bring the child, Saint Master Feng Linglong naturally could not rush regardless of the consequences.

"This is for the best. Now, I should be on my way too."

Ye Xuan stood there for a long time before blowing a jade flute towards the sky to summon the immortal crane Xiao Jiu back, and then he rode Xiao Jiu and flew toward the northwest.

The sunlight under the setting sun was still very intense.

In the Eastern Wasteland Region, on the Shenxuan Continent, the Great Qin Dynasty was located in the northwest direction. The spiritual energy there was thin, and few experts were born there.

The strongest person in the Great Qin Dynasty was only a cultivator in the Earth Profound Realm. It was rumored that if one reached the Heaven Profound Realm, they could replace the Great Qin royal family and become the new ruler, and no one would dare to say anything.

However, in recent years, the Great Qin Dynasty had indeed weakened significantly, not as strong as it was in the past. It only had fifty cities under its rule, which was a full three-quarters smaller than its peak of two hundred cities.

Fortunately, the Great Qin Dynasty belonged to the subordinate forces of the Cangqiong Holy Land, so ordinary cultivators truly did not dare to offend it casually.

The current emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty was now old and frail. From taking over a kingdom that was about to completely perish back then to the current state of national peace and security, he did not know how many hardships he had endured to reach today.

"Qingyan, have you really decided?"

The Great Qin Emperor Ye Shimin's aged face was filled with sorrow. In his prime, how would the Great Qin's vassal state, the Great Chu, dare to act so recklessly, attacking the Great Qin to demand cities as compensation?

"Father, I am the last descendant of the royal family. If I do not go to fulfill the promise, who else in the Great Qin royal family can go now?"

Ye Qingyan's bright eyes and white teeth were filled with tears.
