99: First time in life

Jiang Yu's smile never faded.

She used to not understand why her senior and junior sisters were so keen on shopping.

After all, the Star God Temple lacked nothing; in fact, the clothes and jewelry they crafted were even more mysterious and powerful than what was sold outside.

Why waste time choosing things that were inferior to what the sect provided?

But it wasn't until today that she realized how pleasant shopping could be.

Seeing novel clothes, and all sorts of strange and beautiful garments and jewelry, the surprise in that instant, and the anticipation of finding even better items, filled her with continuous delight.

Especially with someone accompanying her.

If she was annoyed, she could complain to him, which made her incredibly happy.

Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with tender affection as she subtly glanced at Gu Qing, who looked utterly miserable, and thought to herself, "My first time shopping, I'll have to trouble you a bit, but I'll compensate you later."

She picked and chose, chatted idly with the maid, and occasionally asked Gu Qing a few questions, completely shattering the image of a goddess.

Gu Qing stared at her, unable to believe that Jiang Yu was this kind of person.

After five hours of browsing, she hadn't bought a single item; it was truly something else.

"Ji Ning, why is she like this?" Gu Qing couldn't help but transmit his question to Ji Ning.

"I don't know either. The Temple Master was adopted as a baby by the previous Temple Master and grew up in the sect, always busy with cultivation. I've never heard that she liked shopping," Ji Ning replied truthfully.

She truly didn't know.

In her impression, Jiang Yu was as noble as a deity, the brightest and most dazzling pearl in the starry sky.

She was unparalleled in talent, almost an omnipotent being.

Who knew she had a hidden attribute?

It was truly surprising.

However... Ji Ning secretly watched the two, and the more she looked, the more they resembled a young couple.

The woman was gentle and beautiful, the man handsome and dashing; they were simply a match made in heaven.

"The officials have already moved in, get married quickly..." Ji Ning pointed and gestured... Three days passed in a flash.

And at this time, the hottest topic of discussion in the imperial capital was that Liu Ruyan was not a demoness, and had already severed ties with the Liu Family.

As well as the Star God Temple, and so on.

All topics related to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan displayed the demeanor of a Heavenly Pride, successively defeating those in the Purple Mansion Realm, winning over a hundred matches in a row.

And at most, she only used three moves.

Liu Ruyan already showed signs of invincibility, attracting countless admirers for a time, and even many famous Heavenly Pride from various regions were willing to follow her.

But Liu Ruyan rejected them all.

"Boom!"

On the arena, Liu Ruyan sent a young man and his sword flying with a single punch, causing a slight crack in his high-grade spirit artifact.

Liu Ruyan's brows were tightly furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with the power of her divine ability.

She wanted to shatter it, to display invincibility just like Gu Qing.

"Hiss~"

"Innate Divine Ability."

"Is the Star God Temple cultivating monsters?"

Seeing Liu Ruyan bathed in divine light, everyone felt a chill of fear.

They thought of Gu Qing, who had shattered a king-grade artifact with a single finger, overturning their worldview.

Now, Liu Ruyan could even crack a high-grade spirit artifact, though it was still far from shattering it.

But how old was Liu Ruyan? Given time, she might also achieve the same accomplishments as Gu Qing.

After all, the Innate Divine Ability was infinitely powerful, and not everyone could awaken it. Even with a top-tier divine body and cultivating a highly compatible divine-grade cultivation technique, the hope of awakening was slim.

Only a Supreme Divine Body had a thirty percent chance of awakening.

This meant that Liu Ruyan was at least a Supreme Divine Body, and had cultivated an incredibly profound divine-grade cultivation technique.

Looking at Liu Ruyan, bathed in divine light, with an aura like a god and a demon, everyone's eyes were filled with envy and longing.

If only they could also join the Star God Temple.

Even as a handyman, that would be better than being a Saint Son of a Sacred Land.

At least, joining the Star God Temple meant infinite possibilities, and a chance to cultivate the Star God Temple's peerless divine techniques.

"Ruyan..." Jiang Qiuyue murmured, lost in thought.

Looking at Liu Ruyan, who was the center of attention and like a goddess, she finally realized that she was wrong, terribly wrong.

Liu Ruyan was not a demon body at all, but possessed an incredibly ancient and powerful physique, which was why Liu Ruyan could still gain Gu Qing's favor after being stripped of her origin.

Regret and bitterness filled her heart.

"Wicked girl..." Liu Yuanzhong's gaze was sinister, as if poisoned.

The more outstanding Liu Ruyan became, the more he resented her, hating that she didn't treat him as family.

Once her wings hardened, she broke free from his control, making the Liu Family a laughingstock and losing all face.

Fortunately, he still had Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi's talent was equally terrifyingly powerful.

She had the potential to become a god and ascend.

"Sister Chu Yao, Sister Ruyan is truly amazing."

"It's the Star God Temple that's amazing. Ruyan has lost her origin, yet she still possesses such combat power. I can't imagine how powerful Ruyan would be if her origin were still intact."

On the high platform, Chu Yao was surrounded by several women of stunning beauty, each enchanting and with top-tier talent and background in the Eastern Region, having countless admirers.

However, at this moment, they were all flattering Chu Yao.

Chu Yao chuckled lightly, playing with a strand of her hair, and said indifferently, "Insincere."

These people were flattering her so much, weren't they just trying to get her to introduce them?

Unable to find Gu Qing, they came to her.

"Sister Chu Yao, you know."

One of them said with an embarrassed and very awkward expression.

After all, they were also goddesses, the center of attention, yet now they were so fawning.

They felt a burning sensation on their faces.

"Opportunity is for those who are prepared."

Chu Yao smiled carelessly; she wasn't annoyed by their actions. Striving for opportunities through one's own efforts was not shameful at all.

"Sister Chu Yao, you promised to take us to the Star God Temple?"

Their beautiful eyes lit up, their expressions ecstatic.

"Mm, but you must be prepared, the competition in the Star God Temple is very brutal."

Chu Yao nodded.

"Chu Yao, are you going back again?"

The middle-aged man sitting beside Chu Yao spoke indifferently.

"Mm!" Chu Yao hummed in affirmation.

"You can go back to the Star God Temple, but you must marry me first."

The middle-aged man's expression darkened.

"No time."

Chu Yao replied coldly, her captivating fox-like eyes showing disgust.

The man before her was not her fiancé at first, but her fiancé's grand-uncle, a Venerable Realm expert of the second stage.

Some time ago, she had successfully broken off her engagement, but then Qin Xian set his sights on her, proposing marriage, and her father actually agreed.

It was utterly hateful.

Just thinking about being targeted by an old monster made Chu Yao feel a chill all over.

"You want to go back on your word?"

Qin Xian's expression sank, and a majestic Supreme Divine might permeated the air. The clear blue sky was instantly filled with a terrifying aura, as if a great beast was brewing.

"So what if I do?"

Chu Yao sneered, directly stood up and left, showing no respect to a human Supreme.

If it were before she joined the Star God Temple, facing a human Supreme, she would only have had to obey.

However, now, even if the Qin Family's Old Ancestor broke through to the Divine Fire Realm, she would not be afraid in the slightest.

After all, her master was Jiang Yu.

With the entire Star God Temple as her backing, she feared nothing.
