191: Jade Phoenix Immortal King
Yu Luan Holy City.
As a super city ranked in the Immortal Realm, its prosperity was far beyond what the world could imagine.
The city's territory was measured in the hundreds of millions, equivalent to hundreds of Futuo Ancient Realms. Powerful palaces and Dao fields could be seen everywhere along the roads.
According to rough statistics, the number of Immortals living here exceeded one hundred million.
The reason the Holy City was so prosperous was simply because that peerless Immortal King from Yu Luan Snow Mountain had established her Dao field here.
What does peerless mean?
It means being one of the few people in the current world with the best hope of crossing the Emperor Road and achieving the position of Immortal Emperor.
"I remember Mother saying before that she and Immortal King Yu Luan were once sisters who shared life and death. It's perfect to come here and borrow some cultivation resources from her; I imagine she shouldn't refuse!"
Su Qianqian walked in front, with Su Quan following closely behind.
Both of them had undergone a simple disguise.
"Little Sister, I'm afraid this might be inappropriate. People change when they leave; she might not be willing to lend a helping hand. Moreover, our identities are special, so it's best to have as little contact with outsiders as possible," Su Quan said with deep concern.
"Oh, can you stop being so nagging? If you're so cowardly and afraid of trouble, then just stay here. It's just as well, I've wanted to part ways with you for a long time!"
Su Qianqian gave him a harsh glare and muttered, "Without enough resources, how long will I have to wait before I can avenge the Su Family!"
Su Quan couldn't change her stubborn nature. A look of deep worry appeared on his face, but he could only follow the girl toward the towering Dao field at the very center of the Holy City.
Soon, the two of them stopped in front of the Yu Luan Dao Field.
Su Qianqian fished out a special jade pendant from her bosom and tossed it to a Golden Immortal guard. "Trouble yourself to inform Immortal King Yu Luan that an old friend has come to visit!"
The Golden Immortal caught the jade pendant. After just a slight investigation, she realized the visitor's identity was not simple.
"Please wait a moment, you two!"
She bowed respectfully and then rushed toward the depths of the Dao field.
A moment later, an Immortal Lord with a vast and powerful aura walked out. She was dressed in noble Purple-Gold Jade Robes and was the housekeeper of this Immortal King Dao Field. However, she didn't dare have the slightest look of arrogance on her face as she made an inviting gesture toward the two.
"Distinguished guests, the Immortal King wishes to see you. Please follow me!"
"See, I told you Immortal King Yu Luan would remember old sentiments. Good thing I didn't listen to you!"
Su Qianqian triumphantly rolled her eyes at the youth, then excitedly followed the housekeeper into the Dao field.
Su Quan rubbed his nose helplessly and could only follow her in.
After passing through layers of guard inspections and crossing the blockades of dozens of Formations, the three of them stopped in front of a majestic holy temple in the depths of the Dao field, where Immortal Qi drifted and rainbow light soared to the sky.
The world where the holy temple was located was filled with drifting light pink flower rain, and the air was filled with a refreshing, delicate fragrance that made one feel slightly hot and intoxicated.
"Is this Aunt Yu Luan's Dao Palace? It feels not much worse than Mother's Dao Palace."
Su Qianqian looked up and sighed with a slight sense of shock.
Just then, a woman's cold and ethereal voice came from the palace.
"You two little ones, come in!"
Hearing this, Su Qianqian didn't doubt her and immediately pushed the door open to enter, with Su Quan following behind.
In the depths of the luxuriously and nobly decorated bedroom, light pink window curtains were lifted by a delicate hand that reached out. Then, a noble woman with a graceful figure and exquisite beauty walked out from the bed.
Her cloud-like, fluffy black hair was draped casually over her shoulders. Her skin was like congealed fat, supple and clear. Her willow-leaf eyebrows reached her temples, and her beautiful eyes were clear and deep. A light green Daoist robe outlined her alluring, curvaceous figure.
Her entire person radiated nobility, dominance, and a hint of laziness.
https://img.wtr-lab.com/cdn/series/jh41SPKUvv60kzXJhiS8bGMO3x_4ORbP8KrLpUsL6UY.png"Aunt Yu Luan, do you still remember Qianqian? I've brought my brother to seek refuge with you!"
Su Qianqian could not hide her excitement.
In her memory, besides the members of the Su Family, she was closest to this Aunt Yu Luan. She had a very good relationship with her mother; they were sisters who had gone through life and death together, growing up from weakness. She used to visit the Su Family often.
"Qianqian, how is your Su Family doing now? Are your mother and the others well?" Immortal King Yu Luan asked directly.
Hearing these words, the excitement in Su Qianqian's beautiful eyes faded, replaced by grief and bone-deep hatred.
"The Su Family is gone. My mother and the others..."
Su Qianqian could not go on.
Immortal King Yu Luan took in the expressions of the two, a look of understanding appearing in her beautiful eyes, and she became even more certain of the intelligence she had received previously.
It seemed the Su Family really had been destroyed, and only these two little ones in front of her had luckily escaped.
With this thought, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she used a gentle, comforting tone.
"You two poor little ones, now that you've come to Auntie's place, everything will get better. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, Auntie will back you up!"
"Auntie, you're too good to us. Thank you so much!"
Su Qianqian was grateful to the extreme.
Immortal King Yu Luan's attitude further proved that her choice was correct!
"Brother, look at how well Auntie treats us. Good thing I didn't listen to your nonsense and those messy concerns, otherwise we'd still be wandering outside right now!"
Su Quan pursed his lips and could only return a helpless, bitter smile.
His sister had a carefree personality since she was young. Coupled with being well-protected by the Su Family and having little contact with outsiders, her heart was very simple.
But he was a male with a delicate mind. Although he couldn't say why, he just felt that the look Immortal King Yu Luan gave him was somewhat uncomfortable.
The next second, Immortal King Yu Luan cast her gaze over.
The moment she saw Su Quan's face clearly, a look of deep amazement flashed through her beautiful eyes.
What a peerless, handsome youth who could enchant all living beings!
She considered herself to have seen many handsome male Immortals, but none could give her this kind of strange feeling like the youth before her.
The youth's appearance naturally went without saying, but the most unique thing was his temperament.
Born into an Eternal Power and the biological son of two Emperors, he radiated nobility and pride from his very bones, making one unconsciously feel a desire to desecrate him.
And having faced a sudden change and wandered outside for many years, his brow had gained a sense of brokenness, making one unable to resist wanting to pull him into their arms and take good care of him.
What woman in the world could refuse such a temptation?
"Xiao Quan, it's been many years. You've grown into a big boy. Look at these eyes and brows, how much they look like your father. Come, come to Auntie!"
Immortal King Yu Luan beckoned very enthusiastically. Seeing that he didn't move, she took a few steps forward and smoothly grabbed the youth's soft hands. The warm and wonderful touch upon contact made her heart flutter.
"The little fellow seems a bit shy. Is it because you don't remember Auntie? When you were just born, Auntie even held you!"
The woman had a smile on her lips as she said, "Xiao Quan, don't be restrained here. Just treat it as your own home. Your mother and I were sisters who shared life and death. If I mistreated you, my conscience would be troubled!"
"You must have suffered quite a bit while wandering all these years. Look at this small face, it's thin from hunger. Take this Divine Jade Beef and eat it first to nourish your body."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Su Quan could not decline and had to accept it.
Seeing this, Su Qianqian spoke up somewhat urgently: "Aunt Yu Luan, I want to borrow some cultivation resources from you. Once I have achieved success in my cultivation in the future, I will definitely repay you a hundredfold!"
"Cultivation resources? That's easy!"
The smile on Immortal King Yu Luan's face didn't fade as she tossed over a spatial ring and said, "Why be so polite with Auntie? If you have a need, just speak up!"
Su Qianqian took the ring and swept it with her Divine Sense. She immediately beamed with joy. "Thank you, Auntie! These resources are so much; they're enough for me to Cultivate to the Grand Celestial Immortal Realm!"
"When you're finished, come back and ask Auntie for more. Auntie's abilities are limited, but taking care of you two little ones is no problem!"
Immortal King Yu Luan still held Su Quan's hands tightly and said, "From now on, the two of you will live next to Auntie's Dao Palace. The palace on the left outside is named Jingyun Hall, which will be Qianqian's residence. Xiao Quan will stay in the Lanyue Hall on the right!"
"Ah, Brother and I have to live separately?"
Su Qianqian asked subconsciously.
"Of course. Although you are siblings, as you grow older, you should pay attention to the difference between females and males," Immortal King Yu Luan lectured in the tone of an elder.
"Alright, everything will be according to Auntie's arrangements!"
After the rift caused by the bone-digging, the relationship between the two was no longer as close as before. Living separately was actually more conducive to her concentrating on cultivation so she could step into a higher Realm sooner and avenge the Su Family.
"Auntie, then I'll head off to secluded cultivation first!"
"This girl Qianqian is so diligent. Go on then. Jingyun Hall has a Spirit Gathering Formation, enough for you to Cultivate for a hundred years!"
"Thank you, Auntie. Auntie is truly too good to us!"
Su Qianqian cheered and jumped for joy, hurriedly walking toward Jingyun Hall. Before leaving, she stopped, turned her head to stare at Su Quan, and frowned. "Brother, we finally have a place to stay. You must be well-behaved and don't cause any trouble. Listen to Aunt Yu Luan and don't cause problems for others!"
"I... I understand. Little Sister, you just focus on your cultivation. I'll handle everything else!"
Su Quan's mouth moved as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end, he pursed his lips and watched as the girl walked into Jingyun Hall.
Now, only Su Quan and Immortal King Yu Luan remained in the holy temple.
The atmosphere became somewhat subtle.
Su Quan forcefully broke free from the woman's grasp and said with some fluster, "Auntie, I'm a bit tired. I'll head back to Lanyue Hall to rest first and come to pay my respects tomorrow!"
After saying that, he turned and wanted to leave.
But the woman's beautiful figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
"Auntie..."
Su Quan still wanted to say something.
A delicate hand reached out, dominantly grabbed his neck, and slowly lifted him up. The terrifying feeling of suffocation made his face turn red, and he almost fainted.
"Hehe."
"Xiao Quan, you smell so good. Let Auntie have a sniff."
"This face is so tender, it's like touching a piece of precious jade!"
Immortal King Yu Luan was unscrupulous, her hands wandering over the youth's body.
"Auntie, don't!"
"Let me go, I beg you to let me go!"
"Don't hurt Xiao Quan!"
"..."
Tears welled up in Su Quan's eyes. He tried his best to resist and struggle, but with his cultivation, he appeared so weak and pitiable before a peerless Immortal King, which instead aroused her desire for conquest.
In the youth's despairing pupils, the woman's face got closer and closer, finally kissing his lips dominantly.
"Mmph!"
"..."
Su Quan was powerless to resist; only two lines of clear tears rolled down.
Outside the images of the heart-peeping mirror.
Su Qianqian's eyes trembled wildly.
"Impossible, impossible!"
"How could Auntie be such a woman!"
She clutched her chest, feeling a sharp, intense pain in her heart that made her vision go dark. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and she collapsed to the ground, her spirit crushed.
Intense regret and guilt were eating away at her heart.
Tears fell like rain.
She wished she could die here to make up for what she had owed her brother in the past.
The Yaochi Empress's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, staring fixedly at the triumphant and wanton Immortal King Yu Luan on the screen, erupting with heaven-shaking killing intent.
"Yu Luan, daring to bully Xiao Quan, you truly deserve to die!"
In her heart, Immortal King Yu Luan was already on her must-kill list.
As for Su Quan, who was hidden in the Chaos Void, his expression was calm and indifferent, like an outsider peering into everything that happened. Only the System notification sounds that rang in his ears from time to time could make a smile curl on his lips.
"Ding, regret value +5000!"
"Ding, regret value +5000!"
"..."
"Ding, your Divine Soul repair progress has reached 50%!"
