99: Ji Yue resolved: Liu Shenyin has already gone to find the Imperial Prince! I want to go too!
The same situation was also unfolding at the Heavenly Demon Palace.
However, compared to the Primordial Divine Mountain, the crowd at the Heavenly Demon Palace appeared to be reveling in peace and harmony.
The Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, that Nine-Headed Lion, was currently holding a goblet of nectar brewed from ten-thousand-year-old immortal fruits with a look of immense satisfaction, clinking cups with the various Yao Race powerhouses in the hall amidst a lively atmosphere.
"Hahaha, everyone, did you see that! This is the foresight of this Palace Master!"
The Nine-Headed Lion Palace Master was flushed with drink, his nine heads swaying slightly. "When this Palace Master decided to submit to the Jiang Family, some of you objected. What do you say now? Are you convinced?"
"Convinced, we are convinced! The Palace Master is wise and mighty; we were short-sighted and admire you immensely!"
A Centipede Old Ancestor, whose cultivation had reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, was fawning over the Nine-Headed Lion Palace Master as he poured wine for him.
At first, when the Nine Nether Lion Palace Master wanted to lead the numerous Yao Race members to participate in that Human Race Dao Discussion Assembly, they had raised a hundred claws in objection. After all, they were a Life Forbidden Zone; was it appropriate to participate in the Human Race's activities?
But after witnessing the foundation and strength of the Jiang Family, all the Yao Race Old Ancestors shut their mouths. It was appropriate, perfectly appropriate.
Even the Sea of Death, which had greater strength than them, had been annihilated; how could their Heavenly Demon Palace dare to utter a single word of dissent?
"Although we were not chosen by the Jiang Family Imperial Son this time, the days ahead are long!"
"This Palace Master has already spoken to their Elders. When the next opportunity arises, we will definitely recommend the Yao talents of our Heavenly Demon Palace to His Highness the Imperial Son!"
"When we also get to hug the thigh of the Jiang Family, the greatest in history! In the future, the likes of the Burial Heaven Tomb and the Myriad Dragon Nest will have to shine this Palace Master's shoes!"
The atmosphere in the hall was jubilant, with all the Yao Race powerhouses praising the wisdom and might of the Nine Nether Lion Palace Master.
The Nine Nether Lion himself was also very pleased with himself. He felt he had made the most correct decision of his Yao life. That's right, when other Human Races were leaving, their Heavenly Demon Palace actively clung to them. Who said their Yao Race was dumber than the Human Race? Look, did any other Human Race think of this?
They were told to go back and they actually went back; a bunch of foolish Human Races who couldn't let go of their Face~
However, just as he was humming a little tune in his pride, a golden light cut through the sky without warning.
The Nine Nether Lion Palace Master raised all nine of his heads simultaneously, noticing the Golden Ranking in the firmament. Then he saw that the second place had changed from the Wang Family's Wang Tengxue to Bai Qingxue!
"Second... Second place?!" The wine cup in the Nine Nether Lion's hand clattered to the ground.
His nine pairs of eyes were wide open, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist, and the manes on his nine heads were standing straight up.
Bai Qingxue! That woman from the declining royal clan of the Primordial Divine Mountain? She also became a Supreme Sacred Body? And she went straight to second place, pushing down that Wang Family Imperial Daughter who possessed the bearing of a great emperor?!
This f*cking lion...
"Gulp." Someone didn't know who it was, but they swallowed hard, breaking the deathly silence.
"Palace... Palace Master... This White Tiger Royal Clan seems to be flying faster than us," a Bear Race Quasi-Emperor stammered.
"Nonsense! Do you think I need you to tell me that!" The Nine Nether Lion slammed the table.
He was both shocked and delighted. Shocked by the Jiang Family's ability to create Supreme Sacred Bodies; the second and fourth place Supreme Sacred Bodies were both casually kneaded out by the other party. Delighted because fortunately, he had hugged the thigh early and decisively!
"Hahaha! Good thing! A huge, great thing!" After the Nine Nether Lion realized this, he laughed out loud. "The stronger Bai Qingxue is, the stronger the Jiang Family Imperial Son is! Our Heavenly Demon Palace has made a huge profit this time, no loss at all!"
"When the Imperial Son chooses us, we will reluctantly take third place, hahahaha..."
"The Palace Master is wise!" "The Palace Master has profound insights!" The hall returned to a scene of revelry, with praises and flattery rising one after another.
But just at this moment, a Fox Race Elder responsible for gathering intelligence ran in hurriedly, his expression somewhat strange.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, news has just come from the Emperors Son Palace... Wonderful Sound of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple has not left the Jiang Family."
"What?" The smile on the Nine Nether Lion's Face froze. "Didn't leave? What do you mean? Didn't she fail to be selected just like our Heavenly Demon Palace?"
The Fox Race Elder swallowed and said cautiously, "It is said that... the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple let Bodhisattva Wonderful Sound stay in the Emperors Son Palace of her own accord to discuss the Dao with His Highness the Imperial Son."
"Discuss the Dao?" The Nine Nether Lion was stunned for a moment. "Discuss my ass! Those bald donkeys clearly saw that they weren't selected at the Dao Discussion Assembly, so they want to play dirty, staying in the Jiang Family shamelessly, hoping to find an opportunity to get the moon first because they are near the water!"
"F*ck! Saying they are detached from the four elements, but secretly they are more shameless than anyone! How shameless!"
The Yao Race powerhouses in the hall looked at each other and also realized. Yes, why did they have to return obediently? The Jiang Family is so big, what is the problem with having an extra group of Yao Race women from their Heavenly Demon Palace?
"If the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple can stay, why can't our Heavenly Demon Palace?" "That's right!" The Nine-Headed Lion Palace Master's nine pairs of eyes lit up simultaneously.
"If their Buddhist sect can send one, our Heavenly Demon Palace will send ten! No! One hundred!"
He stood up abruptly, and his nine heads let out a thunderous roar simultaneously. "Pass down this Palace Master's order!"
"Pack up all the Princesses, Saintesses, and Goddesses of our Heavenly Demon Palace—every single one of them—and bring them to this Palace Master!"
"Dress them up beautifully! If you don't have enough, confer titles on them right now! Then, immediately! Right now! Follow this Palace Master back to the Jiang Family!"
"Just say... our Heavenly Demon Palace admires the Divine Might of His Highness the Imperial Son and has specially selected a hundred beauties to come and serve His Highness the Imperial Son... No, that's not right, to come and listen to the Dao of His Highness the Imperial Son, and to perform dances to entertain His Highness the Imperial Son!"
The Nine Nether Lion had completely given up on his dignity at this point. Face? What is that? Can you eat it?
In this Golden Great Era, hugging the thigh of the Jiang Family Imperial Son tightly is the true way! If that group of bald donkeys can be shameless, his Heavenly Demon Palace can be even more shameless than them!
Inside the Emperors Son Palace, in the Ziwei Imperial Pavilion. Princess Ji Yue was pacing back and forth, feeling agitated.
She was dressed in a luxurious purple palace gown, and the gold threads tracing it added a touch of nobility and majesty to her already stunningly beautiful Face. But at this moment, her delicate little Face was filled with worry.
"What to do... what exactly should I do..." She walked while muttering to herself, her large, usually lively and cunning eyes filled with confusion and struggle.
Ever since the Dao Discussion Assembly ended and she was tentatively left in this Emperors Son Palace, her heart had never been at peace.
On one hand, the pride of being the Sixteenth Princess of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty made it impossible for her to lower herself to actively please a man like that demoness from the Saint Demon Sect.
In her view, she was someone destined to become a Female Emperor in the future! How could she compete for favor like an ordinary concubine?
But on the other hand, the strength and background displayed by Jiang Yuan, as well as the Great Dao of Creation that was enough to drive any power crazy, were like a huge magnet, attracting her intensely.
Ascending to the heavens in one step, achieving the Supreme Sacred Body. Protecting the Divine Dynasty for eternal prosperity. These temptations were too great. Great enough to make her proud heart of an Imperial Daughter begin to waver.
"No... I can't keep waiting like this..." Ji Yue stopped abruptly and clenched her little fists tightly.
She knew that in this Emperors Son Palace, the thing that was least lacking was a Heavens Proud Daughter. If this continued, she was afraid she would soon be forgotten by that man.
"I must take the initiative!" Ji Yue gritted her teeth, a flash of determination in her eyes. Pride? Reserve? In the Face of absolute benefit and the future, these things were worthless!
She regretted it, but she didn't realize that it seemed to be a bit too late.
Just as Ji Yue took a deep breath and was about to walk out of the palace gate to find Jiang Yuan, even if it meant losing Face, she had to secure a certain future for herself and the Divine Dynasty.
A maid assigned to her hurried in from outside the hall, her Face wearing a somewhat strange expression.
"Your Highness, this servant just went to the Primordial Zither Terrace for a walk..." "Speak."
Ji Yue stopped and frowned. "Sect Master Liu of the Heavenly Sound Sect... she is not in the hall." The maid said cautiously, "This servant used some means to inquire, and they said that Sect Master Liu left alone half an hour ago; it is possible that she went to find His Highness the Imperial Son."
"What?!" Ji Yue felt as if struck by lightning, her delicate body trembling violently. The beautiful eyes that had just ignited with determination instantly widened.
Liu Shenyin?! That beautiful Quasi-Emperor woman? She... also went to find Jiang Yuan?!
