43: The Phoenix Clan regrets it!
When that golden Divine Ark engraved with the character "Phoenix" appeared, the originally noisy Void Realm became much quieter in an instant.
Countless gazes were cast over simultaneously, filled with amusement and schadenfreude.
The Phoenix Clan? They still have the face to come?
Who doesn't know that not long ago, Jiang Family Head Jiang Zhan and the Third Elder went to the Primordial Divine Mountain in person to propose marriage, only to be publicly humiliated by the Phoenix Goddess, Feng Ling'er, who said the Jiang Family Imperial Son was trash and unworthy of her.
And the result?
The Jiang Family wasn't looking for her at all!
They turned around and used a shocking betrothal gift to marry the White Tiger Goddess of the White Tiger Royal Clan.
This slap in the face was loud!
Later, the heaven and earth golden ranking appeared, Jiang Yuan's "Innate Fertility Saint Body" reached the top, and the Jiang Family displayed Heaven-Defying methods to mass-produce Saint Bodies.
Now, the Phoenix Clan's face must be swollen from the slaps, right?
Now, they actually still have the face to attend the Jiang Family's Dao Discussion Assembly?
What are they trying to do? Offer a humble apology? Or do they want a share of the pie?
Under the gaze of countless mocking eyes, the cabin door of the golden Divine Ark slowly opened.
The Phoenix Ancestor, that old monster who has lived for who knows how many ten thousand years, personally led a group of Elders from the clan and walked down from the Divine Ark.
His expression was so gloomy it could drip water.
Behind him followed a figure wearing colorful feather robes, with a stunning face but a dim expression, like a defeated rooster.
It was none other than the Phoenix Goddess, Feng Ling'er.
At this moment, she no longer had her original pride and coldness; her beautiful Phoenix eyes were filled with humiliation, unwillingness, and endless regret.
She never dreamed that a careless remark of hers would bring such huge trouble to the Phoenix Clan.
What she couldn't accept even more was that the man she regarded as trash was actually such a terrifying existence!
Innate Fertility Saint Body!
Number one on the prodigy list!
Thinking that she had rejected such a man's marriage proposal in front of the whole world, she felt her face burning with pain and wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
"Senior Phoenix, trust you have been well since we last met."
Jiang Zhan wore an enthusiastic smile and took the initiative to greet him, his tone as if the unpleasantness that happened at the Primordial Divine Mountain never existed at all.
But the more he acted like this, the more stifled the Phoenix Ancestor felt.
He would rather Jiang Zhan mock him than see this smiling tiger expression now.
"Jiang Family Head, you are too polite."
The Phoenix Ancestor forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "I came uninvited, I hope the Jiang Family Head will not take offense."
"Senior Phoenix, what are you saying."
Jiang Zhan laughed, "My Jiang Family is holding the Dao Discussion Assembly and inviting heroes from all over the world. Your presence is the honor of our Jiang Family. Come, please, inside!"
As he spoke, he stepped aside to clear a path.
The Phoenix Ancestor, with a group of Elders and the dispirited Feng Ling'er, bit the bullet and walked into the gate of the Jiang Family under the gaze of mocking eyes.
"Hmph! Know regret now? Too late!"
It was unclear who said this.
This person had high cultivation, at least at the Peak of Saint, but without guessing, it was definitely someone from the Jiang Family.
The footsteps of the Phoenix Clan clearly stiffened.
Feng Ling'er's body trembled violently, and her fingernails dug deep into her flesh.
But she didn't dare to look back; she could only grit her teeth and swallow this endless humiliation.
...
Jiang Family, on an Immortal Island specially used to entertain distinguished guests.
Here, there are pavilions and towers, surrounded by Immortal Qi, and the scenery is beautiful.
Heavens Proud Daughters from various major forces were settled here, waiting for the formal start of the Dao Discussion Assembly.
For a time, this Immortal Island was filled with beautiful women, becoming a paradise for men.
Saintesses, Goddesses, Imperial Daughters, Demonesses...
Peerless beauties who could attract countless Cultivators' pursuit just by walking out on any ordinary day were all gathered here now, as if waiting for someone's selection.
"Have you heard? The Phoenix Clan has also arrived. It is said that Feng Ling'er has lost all her face."
In a pavilion, several Goddesses from different forces were gathering together, gossiping in low voices.
"Serves her right! Who told her to be blind and dare to look down on the Jiang Family Imperial Son."
"Exactly, regretting it now, right? I heard that the Phoenix Ancestor brought heavy gifts this time, just to ask the Jiang Family to give them another chance."
"Pfft, a chance? It's not that easy. Didn't you see? The Jiang Family's attitude towards them is obviously much colder. I think the Phoenix Clan has suffered a double loss this time."
"But having said that, what kind of person is that Jiang Family Imperial Son? Innate Fertility Saint Body... This Physique is too strange, right?"
"Who knows. But being able to make the Jiang Family make such a big splash, he must be no ordinary Mortal. I'm getting more and more curious about him."
Princess Ji Yue of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty sat to the side, listening quietly to the discussion, with a playful smile on her lips.
She fiddled with the jade pendant in her hand and thought to herself: A bunch of stupid women, still only knowing how to discuss these superficial things.
Jiang Yuan... this man is much more interesting than you imagine.
On the other side, in the Immortal Pavilion of the Yaochi Holy Land.
Qin Mengyao sat cross-legged, the Dao rhythm flowing around her body, as if she were one with heaven and earth.
A maid hurried in and reported respectfully: "Your Highness Saintess, just received news, the Jiang Family Imperial Son... has come out of seclusion."
Qin Mengyao slowly opened her eyes, and a trace of imperceptible ripple flashed in her clear eyes.
He, is he finally going to appear?
...
And at this moment, as the center of everyone's discussion, Jiang Yuan was lying leisurely on the rocking chair in the Emperors Son Palace.
While enjoying Bai Qingxue's shoulder massage and Xiao Cui's leg massage, he was appreciating the awkward dance moves of the mother and daughter, Qin Yuebai and Qin Wanwan.
He was also eating a Life Fruit that appeared from some unknown corner, which was claimed to be a gift from the Elf Queen.
"Hmm, not bad. Although the dance moves are a bit stiff, they win because the people are beautiful and have good figures."
He looked at the two perfect bodies looming under the light gauze below and nodded with satisfaction.
"Husband..."
Qin Yuebai's pretty face was burning, and her movements were a bit deformed.
"Daddy... I... I can't dance..."
Qin Wanwan was even more embarrassed and about to cry; the little girl didn't know how to do this.
"It's okay, practice makes perfect."
Jiang Yuan said indifferently, "Just treat it as... pre-meal exercise."
Xiao Cui picked up a Life Fruit for him and gently fed it into Jiang Yuan's mouth.
"Young Lord, it's crazy outside now. They say you are the Son of Heaven and the protagonist of this Golden Great Era!"
"Oh? Protagonist?"
Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Why do I feel more like a stud?"
"Young Lord, you are joking again."
Xiao Cui's pretty face flushed, "You sacrificed yourself for the great revival of the Family! You are a hero!"
"Hahaha, you girl, you really know how to talk."
Jiang Yuan was amused by her and teased, "So, Xiao Cui, you also want to participate in This Imperial Son's Family revival plan?"
Hearing this, Xiao Cui's small face turned red, her small hands went limp instantly, and her tone was gentle: "This servant doesn't have that intention."
"So Xiao Cui doesn't look up to This Imperial Son."
"That's not true!"
Xiao Cui's voice rose a few degrees, then she hurriedly lowered her head in embarrassment, "Imperial Son, what are you making people say."
"Hahaha."
"Alright, have all those women outside arrived?"
"Replying to Young Lord, they have all arrived. They are all waiting at Yingxian Island now. The Family Head asked you to prepare; the Dao Discussion Assembly is about to begin."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Cui's eyes, but she quickly perked up and replied.
She knew that with her status, it was impossible to give birth to offspring for the Imperial Son and continue the Family line.
But as long as she could stay by the Imperial Son's side and be used by the Imperial Son, she was very satisfied.
"Got it."
Jiang Yuan stretched and stood up from the rocking chair.
He glanced at the lively scene outside the window, a mischievous smile curling on his lips.
"The good show is finally about to begin."
He tidied his robes and walked towards Yingxian Island with a swagger.
