The fallen Ji Lingxue! The Ji Wuya who left the secret realm and waited for the opportunity?

Perhaps the accumulated helplessness and fear during this period were too much; Ji Lingxue's crying seemed to become uncontrollable.

Lin Mo felt the slight trembling of the beautiful woman in his arms and was momentarily at a loss.

He didn't feel right pushing her away, so he could only raise his hand and gently pat her back, offering comfort in this way.

However, Ji Lingxue was holding him too tightly, and her astonishing curves were still clearly felt through her luxurious palace dress.

Lin Mo's thoughts couldn't help but wander.

This palace dress looked elegant and luxurious, but he didn't expect it to have the function of concealing her figure; it truly kept her assets hidden!

A faint scent of orchid wafted from Ji Lingxue's hair, lingering at his nose, causing Lin Mo's wandering thoughts to start running wild again.

“How long is she going to cry?”

“I can’t keep holding her, can I?”

“Although a soft twin-tailed princess is quite comfortable to hold…”

Fortunately, Ji Lingxue's emotional release did not last too long.

After about six or seven minutes, her crying gradually subsided, and she slowly regained her composure.

However, when she realized she was tightly embracing Lin Mo, her cool, exquisitely beautiful face instantly turned crimson and hot.

But instead of immediately pulling away, she instinctively snuggled deeper into Lin Mo's embrace, burying her head further.

This unusual small movement was immediately noticed by Lin Mo.

“Eldest Princess Your Highness… are you… done crying?”

Lin Mo looked down at the head that was almost burrowing into his chest, unable to discern her condition, and could only ask tentatively.

“Ah… so… sorry!”

Ji Lingxue was startled by the question, thinking her small movement had been discovered.

She sprang out of Lin Mo's arms as if electrocuted, lowering her head shyly, not daring to meet his gaze.

“I lost my composure!”

“It’s fine.” Lin Mo waved his hand, unconcerned, “I can understand your feelings. An emotional rollercoaster is normal.”

Ji Lingxue took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and quickly tidied her somewhat disheveled clothes.

A moment later, she regained the dignified demeanor befitting an Eldest Princess.

However, when she looked at Lin Mo again, her clear Phoenix eyes were filled with complex emotions.

“Lin Dao… no…”

She was about to use her previous address, but remembering Lin Mo's Heaven-Defying strength, she forcibly changed her words at the last moment.

“I should address you as… Senior Lin!”

At these words, Lin Mo was stunned on the spot.

Senior?

His bone age in this life was less than twenty, even with generous estimates.

Being called “Senior” by a beautiful princess who looked several years older than him felt far too strange.

But Ji Lingxue didn't think so.

Yes, in terms of Realm, Lin Mo's cultivation Realm was indeed only the Spirit Sea Realm.

Logically speaking, he was even inferior to her, a Heaven's Chosen Daughter at Golden Core Seventh Stage.

However, Realm is Realm, and strength is strength.

The combat power Lin Mo displayed was a terrifying existence capable of genuinely suppressing a Deity Transformation Peak cultivator!

With such strength, let alone her, even if her Nascent Soul Peak father, Heaven-Supporting King, were present, he would have to respectfully perform the Junior's Rei and address him as Senior!

This was an iron law of the Xuanhuan world: the capable come first, regardless of age, and it was a sign of respect for an absolute powerhouse!

So, even though this title would infinitely widen the distance between them, she had no choice but to use it.

“Senior Lin?” Lin Mo listened to her complex address and shook his head with a wry smile: “Alright, there’s no need to be so formal.”

“After everything we’ve been through, we can be considered friends who’ve shared adversity. Just be casual.”

He already considered Ji Lingxue a friend and naturally didn't want their interactions to be so constrained.

“Ca… casual?” Hearing this, Ji Lingxue's heart brightened, and she tentatively asked: “Then… then I… I’ll address you as… Dao Brother Lin?”

“Do you think that’s appropriate?”

“Yes, appropriate.” Lin Mo shrugged, “I also wouldn’t mind if you just called me by my name.”

“Good… then I will address you as Dao Brother from now on!”

Having received an affirmative answer, Ji Lingxue's courage grew.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Mo with a pair of bright, expectant eyes.

“Dao Brother also needn’t call me Princess anymore. Just call me Lingxue!”

“Alright, Lingxue.” Lin Mo readily agreed.

Hearing the intimate “Lingxue,” Ji Lingxue felt as if her heart was filled with honey, and she felt light as a feather.

All the previous despair and sorrow were swept away, replaced by a deep, heartfelt joy!

Her radiant smile made her glow with astonishing brilliance.

“Tsk… Your Highness in this state, I’m afraid she’s completely fallen!”

Liu Fang, observing everything from the side, sighed inwardly.

“Indeed… such a terrifying Prodigy, such peerless charisma,”

“Let alone Your Highness, if I were twenty or thirty years younger, I’m afraid I would also fall for his charm!”

“It’s not surprising at all that Your Highness is smitten with him.”

Seeing Ji Lingxue's unconsciously revealed girlish demeanor, Liu Fang instantly understood.

Her Highness's heart had probably been completely captured by this man named Lin Mo.

However, Liu Fang naturally had no objection to this; in fact, she was pleased.

On one hand, she was merely a subject and had no right to interfere with the Eldest Princess's private matters.

On the other hand, Lin Mo was such a Prodigy. If her Highness could truly cling to this Heaven-reaching thigh, wouldn't the Ancient Spirit Dynasty also prosper alongside him?

Was this not an ultimate method to save the Dynasty?

As for Lin Mo having already agreed to support the Ancient Spirit Dynasty… Liu Fang felt that it could only be temporary.

With Lin Mo's Prodigy-level talent, this small Ancient Spirit Dynasty was ultimately just a shallow pond, unable to contain a true Dragon.

He would leave one day and go to a broader world.

By then, it was uncertain if he would even remember the Ancient Spirit Dynasty, a mere ditch.

But if her Highness became his woman, the outcome would be vastly different!

As soon as she thought of this, Liu Fang wished she could immediately become a matchmaker and try every possible way to bring the two together.

But such a thing was too presumptuous, so she could only think about it in her heart and dared not show any hint of it.

“Alright, the Emperor's Imprint has dissipated, and the Method of Dynasty Prosperity is also obtained. Shall we go out?”

Lin Mo didn't know the thoughts of the mistress and servant beside him; having finished his task, he only wanted to leave quickly.

“Mm, Dao Brother, I'll listen to you.”

Ji Lingxue was now completely obedient to Lin Mo, appearing to treat him as her central figure.

“Senior Lin, no need to look at me! I also have no objection!”

Seeing Lin Mo turn his questioning gaze towards her again, Liu Fang quickly shook her head.

She was very sensible and did not imitate Ji Lingxue in calling him Dao Brother.

Because she knew she was not worthy!

“Good, since neither of you has any objection, let’s go out.”

Lin Mo nodded, then stepped towards the glowing white archway not far ahead.

This archway appeared after the Emperor's Imprint dissipated; it was clearly the exit of the Secret Realm.

Soon, the three passed through the archway one by one, leaving the Star River Plaza.

And as their figures completely disappeared,

this Secret Realm space, which had been passed down for countless years, also began to rapidly collapse, eventually turning into nothingness and completely vanishing into the river of history… Outside, in the ancestral shrine.

Heaven-Supporting King Ji Wuya had already brought a large number of his trusted experts to surround the place, making it impenetrable.

A net had been quietly laid, waiting for Ji Lingxue and the other two to walk into the trap.

Suddenly, a strong light erupted from the center of the shrine, and the deep passage reappeared.

Seeing this, Ji Wuya's face began to show uncontrollable ecstasy.

They’re here!

They’re finally here!

In his imagination, when Ji Lingxue walked out of the passage and saw the scene before her, her expression would definitely be one of extreme shock, followed by endless fear and despair.

However, the next scene completely exceeded Ji Wuya's expectations.

Indeed, when Ji Lingxue walked out of the passage and saw him and the heavy encirclement behind him, a surprised expression did flash across her face.

But that surprise lasted only a moment before quickly turning into a strange expression that he completely failed to comprehend.

It wasn’t fear, nor despair; instead… it was like a gaze filled with pity?

This instantly froze the ecstasy on Ji Wuya's face, and he began to have a bad premonition.

Hiss!! This script seems to be wrong!
