121: Dedication

The two stayed in the room for a day, engaging in deep discussions.

Yun Li was astonished to find that Lu Xingchen had already mastered most of her Archery Skill, even surpassing her.

This was simply unbelievable!

Lu Xingchen's standing in her heart rose once again.

It wasn't until dusk that Yun Li bid farewell to Lu Xingchen.

Before leaving, she handed Lu Xingchen a scroll.

Lu Xingchen asked in confusion, "What do you mean by this?"

Yun Li smiled faintly: "When I delivered my congratulatory gift to Cloud Mountain earlier today, you were practically drooling. This Martial Skill is called "Thousand Jin Slash", it's earth rank mid grade, and I specifically found it for you, so take it!"

Lu Xingchen exclaimed, "You really are a little rich girl!"

With that, he didn't hesitate and accepted the scroll.

He was in need of Martial Skills right now, and Yun Li was one of his own, so there was no need to be overly polite with her.

"Thank you! I, Lu Xingchen, will engrave this kindness of gifting a Martial Skill into my heart and will surely repay it a hundredfold in the future."

Yun Li chuckled, "I'll take you seriously on that!"

After Yun Li left, Lu Xingchen checked his attribute panel.

Host: Lu Xingchen

Experience: 13000 / 70000

exchange points: 106220

After accumulating so many exchange points for so long, it was time to use them.

He used 50,000 exchange points in the System Mall to purchase the earth rank mid grade Spiritual Artifact, dawn bow, and another 50,000 exchange points to purchase the earth rank mid grade "Ethereal Steps".

The quality of the dawn bow was far superior to the sunset glow bow, and its power was much greater.

As for "Ethereal Steps", it was a movement Martial Skill.

Through his battles with the two Demon Kings, Lu Xingchen deeply understood the importance of speed.

With "Ethereal Steps" and the displacement skill of the shadow sword, he was confident that no one below the Martial King Realm would be able to touch even a corner of his clothes!

The next day at dawn, a maid came to inform Lu Xingchen to attend the birthday banquet.

After washing up, the six of them went to the Imperial Palace Grand Hall together.

There, the experts from the Dragon Seeking Gate and the Yin Yang Sect had already been waiting for a long time.

These two Sects did not send their Saint, but they were led by Elders in the Martial Emperor Realm, giving the Liyun Kingdom ample Face.

The people from the three major Sects sat in the core positions, followed by the officials of the Liyun Kingdom.

An hour later, Lu Xingchen finally saw the legendary Eldest Princess, Yun Yun.

She wore a long blue dress, was tall and curvaceous, and her Face was delicately charming, instantly inspiring a desire to protect her.

Yet, she also possessed the dignity of a superior, her royal temperament fully displayed.

This immense contrast gave everyone a strong sense of impact.

Lu Xingchen also stared, his eyes wide, secretly sighing in his heart.

This should be a D, right?

Oh no, at least an F!

Yun Li, seeing Lu Xingchen's amazed expression, felt a little unconvinced and waved her hand in front of him.

"How about it, have you seen enough?" Yun Li chided.

Lu Xingchen felt a little guilty, quickly withdrew his gaze, and nodded gently, "I've seen enough, I've seen enough! The Eldest Princess is indeed a peerless beauty!"

Yun Li pouted her small mouth, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

"Then tell me, is she prettier or am I prettier?"

Lu Xingchen's heart jumped, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

After only three seconds of thought, he blurted out, "You two have different styles, each with your own unique beauty, so it's hard to compare. I can only say you're both great beauties."

Yun Li pouted, "That's more like it!"

The banquet continued, with officials offering congratulations, creating a lively atmosphere.

The people from the three major Sects offered their congratulatory remarks in turn.

The Martial Emperor expert from the Yin Yang Sect cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the Eldest Princess on her 18th birthday. May your every day be filled with sunshine and laughter."

Yun Li bowed slightly to him and said softly, "Thank you, Senior!"

The one who stood up from the Dragon Seeking Gate was not a Martial Emperor expert, but a handsome young man.

Besides offering blessings, he also composed a poem on the spot.

"This junior, Xiao Ye, is fortunate to behold the true visage of the Eldest Princess, and my heart is greatly astonished. Therefore, I wish to present the Eldest Princess with a short poem to express my admiration."

"With beautiful brows and clear eyes, a spirited gaze, refined elegance, and a sight that transcends the mundane."

As Xiao Ye's words fell, warm applause immediately erupted in the hall, and everyone praised him profusely.

"Damn, this Xiao Ye is young, but his literary talent is quite good. A mere 16 characters indeed captured the Eldest Princess's demeanor, and it's quite imbued with Concept."

"This Xiao Ye is already a Martial King expert, right? To possess such strength at such a young age, and to cultivate both literature and martial arts, is truly rare!"

"Not bad, not bad! This young man indeed has some demeanor!"

Yun Yun also had a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Ye, bowing slightly and smiling, "Thank you, Young Master Xiao Ye, for the poem!"

Xiao Ye waved his hand, smiling, "I merely spoke from the heart, it's not worthy of mention. I presume the various experts of the Cangxuan Sect must have more fitting congratulatory remarks!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's brows furrowed.

This Xiao Ye was somewhat unfriendly towards the Cangxuan Sect.

He had no objection when the people from the Yin Yang Sect said polite words earlier, but after showing off, he immediately pointed his spear at the people of the Cangxuan Sect.

If the Cangxuan Sect couldn't come up with something more impressive, wouldn't they be inferior to the Dragon Seeking Gate?

Yun Li also saw through Xiao Ye's intention, but there was nothing she could do.

If it were a martial contest, she could easily defeat Xiao Ye.

However, engaging in literary arts was indeed not her strong suit.

Yun Li was not one to be provoked easily. She slammed the table, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ye, what do you mean? Do you want to try the strength of my Cangxuan Sect's Saintess?"

The Martial Emperor expert from the Dragon Seeking Gate quickly stood up, blocking in front of Xiao Ye, and loudly said, "Xiao Ye merely wishes to engage in a literary exchange. There's no need for the Saintess to be so angry. If the Cangxuan Sect cannot produce a poem, just say so."

Hearing this, the officials in the grand hall began to whisper again.

"The Saintess of the Cangxuan Sect is too lacking in demeanor! No literary talent, so she wants to resort to force?"

"Exactly, exactly! If you can't compose a poem, then you can't. It's not a big deal. Slamming the table like that only makes the Cangxuan Sect seem inferior."

"Yun Li's strength is indeed unmatched, but her temperament is a bit lacking."

With Yun Li's cultivation, she heard the whispers of the surrounding people and was furious.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to stand or sit, feeling incredibly awkward.
