274: Chapter 274 Longji's First Meeting with Yang Tianyou

The Eastern lands were shrouded in calamity Qi, save for one place of purity.

On the vast, boundless plain, the Spiritual Qi was considered dense, but gazing into the distance, there was nothing but rolling hills and dull, ancient trees.

Princess Longji kicked a stubborn stone at her feet in boredom, her exquisite immortal dress swaying gently in the breeze.

She turned her head to look at Water Virtue Star Lord, who had been following her step by step, her stunningly beautiful Face filled with weariness:

"Star Lord, it's so boring. I saw this scenery hundreds of years ago."

Upon hearing this, Water Virtue Star Lord maintained his unchanging, gentle smile and bowed slightly: "Princess Longji, this is perfectly normal."

"The Great Wilderness is vast and boundless, but apart from the blessed lands and the Saint's dojos, most mountain and river scenery is much the same. It's inevitable to grow tired of it after looking at it for so long."

Princess Longji stopped and pouted, saying:

"I'm done wandering! I don't want to stay here for another moment. I want to go to the Human Race!"

Hearing this, a visible flash of excitement suddenly erupted from the depths of Water Virtue Star Lord's eyes!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked as if confirming: "Princess, are you truly not going to continue wandering?"

"No more wandering!" Princess Longji nodded extremely firmly and waved her small fist. "Star Lord, don't dawdle, hurry up and tear open a rift in the Void Realm!"

"Very well!"

Water Virtue Star Lord agreed repeatedly, then shouted Shi Yan's name in his heart!

'Your Majesty, Heavenly Emperor! Princess Longji is bored! She wants to enter Fire Cloud Cave right now!'

Hearing this, Shi Yan gave a light hum.

Immediately after, a rift in the Void Realm abruptly tore open before them.

...

Meanwhile, inside Fire Cloud Cave.

Here, the Human Dao flourished, Spirit Medicine was everywhere, and Spiritual Qi was dense.

In the central academy, Emperor Yao was teaching the younger generation, preaching the Dao to them.

Suddenly, Emperor Yao's expression shifted slightly.

Within his Primordial Spirit, he received a message from Shi Yan:

The Heavenly Court's eldest princess, Princess Longji, will arrive at Fire Cloud Cave immediately!

"That is all for today's lecture, class dismissed!"

Emperor Yao decided decisively and stood up with a flick of his sleeves.

Immediately, his deep gaze grasped at the air, locking onto a young figure currently cultivating bitterly in an inner cave heaven.

"Come here!"

Emperor Yao extended his hand casually, and his vast Quasi-Saint magical power instantly transformed into a giant golden hand, snatching the youth who was immersed in Cultivate without warning.

Afterward, Emperor Yao flickered and headed toward the edge of Fire Cloud Cave, where the rift in the Void Realm was located, carrying the youth.

In mid-air, the youth, whose collar was tightly gripped by the magical hand, was completely bewildered.

He looked at Emperor Yao in front and asked confusedly:

"Teacher, what's wrong? Did something major happen?"

This youth was none other than Yang Tianyou.

Emperor Yao said:

"The Heavenly Court's eldest princess will be visiting my Fire Cloud Cave later. As my Disciple, you must naturally accompany me to welcome her!"

"Ah?" Yang Tianyou's eyes widened in astonishment, "The Heavenly Court's eldest princess... why would she come to Fire Cloud Cave?"

Emperor Yao glanced at him sideways, his tone calm: "That is not something you need to know."

"Oh." Yang Tianyou shrunk his neck and very sensibly shut his mouth.

...

Hum—!

Outside the rift in the Void Realm, just as Emperor Yao landed with Yang Tianyou, the surrounding Void Realm began to ripple violently.

In less than ten breaths, a brilliant light erupted from the center of the ripples, and the figures of Water Virtue Star Lord and Princess Longji stepped out one after the other.

"Wow! Is this Fire Cloud Cave?"

As soon as Princess Longji arrived, she was attracted by the sacred scene of this place, which was different from the Heavenly Court and the wilderness.

Her lively eyes looked around excitedly, full of curiosity about everything around her.

And Water Virtue Star Lord walked slowly to Emperor Yao, bowing extremely respectfully:

"Human Race..., greetings, Emperor Yao!"

Emperor Yao nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist, you have worked hard."

As his voice fell, Emperor Yao turned his head and saw his precious Disciple standing there like a wooden statue.

Yang Tianyou's eyes were fixed on the young girl not far away, filled with curiosity and a trace of admiration.

— He was so mesmerized by the beauty!

Emperor Yao's Face immediately darkened. Annoyed, he raised his foot and kicked Yang Tianyou directly in the butt.

"Ah!"

Yang Tianyou exclaimed, his body stumbling forward, and he immediately woke up from his daze.

This exclamation also startled Princess Longji, who was looking around.

Princess Longji looked over instantly upon hearing the sound.

When her gaze landed on Yang Tianyou, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She could clearly perceive that the youth before her only had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal Perfection.

In the Human Race, this top-tier power of the Great Wilderness, this cultivation level was indeed glaringly weak.

'So weak? How did he get here?'

A trace of curiosity arose in Princess Longji's heart, then she turned and trotted to Emperor Yao, bowing properly:

"Princess Longji of the Heavenly Court, greetings, Senior!"

The darkness on Emperor Yao's Face instantly vanished, replaced by a kind smile, and he gave a light hum in response.

Afterward, he gestured to the youth beside him and introduced:

"I am Emperor Yao of the Human Race. Princess Longji, this is my only Disciple at present."

Only Disciple?

Hearing these three words, Princess Longji's delicate body trembled slightly.

She looked at Yang Tianyou again, her curiosity suddenly increasing.

Emperor Yao's only Disciple, these words carried too much weight!

Being stared at by the Heavenly Court's eldest princess with such probing, curious eyes, Yang Tianyou, who had never experienced such a situation, was suddenly at a loss, scratching his head awkwardly and standing there grinning foolishly.

Beside them, Water Virtue Star Lord took in this scene.

Watching Yang Tianyou's truly "straight man" performance, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was filled with helplessness.

Emperor Yao felt even more that he had lost Face, and his Face turned black again.

He raised his foot once more and kicked Yang Tianyou's butt hard, while transmitting an angry roar:

'You brat! You've lost all the Face of the Human Race! Why don't you get over there and introduce yourself!'

"Oh, oh..."

Yang Tianyou jolted from the kick and suddenly snapped out of it.

He hurriedly put down his hand, took a deep breath, tried his best to put on an appearance of immortal grace and steady composure, and bowed to Princess Longji with cupped hands:

"Yang Tianyou of the Human Race, greetings to the Heavenly Court's eldest princess!"

Seeing Yang Tianyou's somewhat flustered yet desperately serious and comical appearance.

Princess Longji giggled, then generously composed herself and returned the greeting.

However, as their gazes met and Princess Longji lowered her head slightly to return the greeting, she began to seriously size up Yang Tianyou.

When she saw his Face:

Sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and well-defined features; although he lacked the high-and-mighty majesty of the Heavenly Court's divine officials, he had an extra touch of innocence.

For some reason, Princess Longji's heartstrings trembled slightly. Her peach-blossom eyes widened slightly, and a ripple of unprecedented amazement rose from the depths of her heart:

'This Human Race member... is actually quite good-looking!'
