Another fragment. Your request is granted!

Chu Xinghe looked at the Azure Lotus: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The Azure Lotus sighed: "I want to fuse with it."

Hearing this, Black Hand and Little White both looked at the Azure Lotus simultaneously.

What was this fellow thinking?

Even Chu Xinghe's gaze was filled with disbelief.

"I don't believe you."

The Azure Lotus nodded in agreement: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. It has form but no spirit, while I have spirit but no form. I told you before, I am the carrier of Chaos turning into Innate; the three thousand Innate Daos were all inscribed upon me."

Along with the disappearance of those three thousand Daos, my form vanished, leaving only my spirit.

I don't understand. When I was born, I didn't harm anyone, and I even possessed great Luck. Why treat me like this? This can be seen as an obsession of mine.

Actually, I can sense that it isn't something from this era; it's tainted with an aura of the future, but the passage to the future has already closed.

The sudden completion of the Heavenly Dao should be related to it—no, it should be related to you. You are its master. It has the aura of the future, and in fact, you also came from the future, right?

In the Forbidden Ground, I could sense being watched by something. I didn't approach the burial dao coffin, but you were actually hiding inside.

You were plotting against me; I could sense all of this.

I can catch a glimpse of things; even if I were to reform, my end would still be a fall from grace.

Much less for a being like me with spirit but no form."

Chu Xinghe hadn't expected this Azure Lotus to know everything.

Could it be trusted?

It was worth a gamble.

Chu Xinghe stroked his fingers.

"Are you willing?"

A string extended out, hooking around Chu Xinghe's finger.

Chu Xinghe could feel its excitement.

His gaze fixed on the Azure Lotus.

"You won't regret it?"

The Azure Lotus shook its head.

"Then give it a try."

The Azure Lotus shook its head again.

Chu Xinghe was stunned. Why?

Regretting it already?

"Now is not the time. If I fuse with it, big things will happen. Let's wait until this matter is over."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

Just as Chu Xinghe and the Azure Lotus finished their conversation.

Someone suddenly approached from the distance.

Dressed in a palace gown with hair flowing down, her steps weren't large, but her speed wasn't slow.

The person seemed ethereal and refined, as if naturally crafted from jade.

Seeing this, Black Hand's eyes flashed with playfulness.

He flew up, grabbed Little White, and went over to the Azure Lotus's side.

The woman sat down beside Chu Xinghe.

She didn't make a sound, her gaze fixed on the arena.

After a long while, she finally withdrew her gaze.

"The view from here is indeed clearer."

A faint fragrance drifted from her.

Chu Xinghe didn't respond.

Black Hand, the Azure Lotus, and Little White stopped watching the battle.

They all stared at Chu Xinghe.

In the distance, Kun Wu saw this scene.

His gaze turned toward the person beside him.

The Empress saw Kun Wu looking at her.

"Does the Emperor suspect that I sent her over there?"

Kun Wu shook his head.

The Empress also stopped speaking.

Her gaze likewise turned toward the person beside Chu Xinghe.

Kun Susu.

Kun Wu's youngest daughter.

Also his most beloved daughter.

Her mother had died when she was born.

Since she had no backing from any faction, Kun Wu favored her.

Because she was the cleanest, unlike the others whose backgrounds were very complex.

Sometimes even Kun Wu felt helpless.

Kun Susu sat beside Chu Xinghe, propping her chin on her hands.

"Young Master, is it fun outside the palace?"

Name: Kun Susu

Age: 16

Identity: Youngest Princess of the Kunxu Celestial Dynasty, Daughter of Destiny

Physique: Ethereal Saint Physique

Strength: Void God Realm Early Stage

Cultivation Technique: Ethereal Sky Saint Scripture.

destiny value: Five Million.

After glancing at the young girl, Chu Xinghe looked away.

"It's quite fun outside. There are many interesting things—merchants, taverns, and all sorts of strange people. Everyone is busy striving to become stronger or just to make a living."

A look of longing appeared in Kun Susu's eyes.

"I've always wanted to go out and see. This place is like a cage; I don't want to stay here. Many uncles think this place is sacred, but I think it's filthy.

Here, there are rules everywhere; it's very troublesome.

Actually, I also know that my mother was murdered, and Father knows too, but Father is powerless. There are many things he can't do even if he wants to.

Big Brother, do you think your disciple can win?"

Chu Xinghe looked down: "At least this person is no match for him."

Kun Susu just watched the scene below.

"Actually, I really want to sleep—a sleep from which I never have to wake up. My brothers are also very good to me, but I know they just want me to say a few good words for them in front of Father.

Most of the time they look at me with jealousy, thinking Father is good to me. But if I had a faction or a background behind me, Father wouldn't treat me like this.

He would surely guard against me just like he guards against my other brothers. I want to leave, but Father won't agree.

Maybe everyone in the royal family is cold-blooded. I actually hope Big Brother's disciple can win. That way, the Kunxu Celestial Dynasty can be destroyed. Even if I die, it would be better than living like this."

Black Hand looked at Kun Susu. At her age, she already knew so much and lived in such a predatory place.

But the outside world was the same—it was all a predatory place.

Without turning his head, Chu Xinghe asked, "Then why did you come over?"

Kun Susu took out an item.

It was precisely a bronze fragment.

Chu Xinghe showed no emotion on his face.

"I want to use this thing to trade for a chance to leave the palace, even if I die outside. This was given to me by my mother before she died.

I remember my Ninth Brother saw it once and wanted it, but I didn't give it to him.

Later, he said he would take me out of the palace if I gave it to him, but I refused."

"Can this thing buy me a chance to leave the palace?"

Chu Xinghe nodded: "It's enough."

A smile appeared on Kun Susu's face.

"Then this thing is for you, Big Brother."

Chu Xinghe took the fragment.

Kun Susu didn't leave; she just sat there beside Chu Xinghe.

[Master, what does she mean?]

Luo Yao felt that this Daughter of Destiny was a bit off.

"Escaping the palace to be free from constraints. She seems simple, but she's actually the most calculating."

"Don't look at her being only sixteen; she cannot be underestimated. No one who can survive in this place is simple."

[So she's a scheming bitch!]

"That's not wrong to say. She's very good at borrowing momentum."

[Then how does Master plan to deal with her?]

"If she wants to go out, I'll take her out. Didn't she say she's willing to die outside? Then I'll fulfill her wish."

[Master, beautifully done! I like you like this.]

"Keep it low-key. We have important things to do in the Ancient Era. This destiny value delivered to our door—it would be a waste not to take it."

[But why hasn't that Child of Destiny appeared yet?]

"Waiting to make a grand entrance in front of everyone, what else could it be."

Chu Xinghe's gaze fell upon the arena.

Ling Lucky and Tuoba Bufan had already exchanged over a thousand moves.

Tuoba Bufan was panting heavily, his aura surging.

Ling Lucky's expression was solemn.

By now, how could he not see through Tuoba Bufan's intentions?

He was being used to hone Tuoba Bufan's combat experience.

He was being treated as a chess piece.
