Chapter 396: Scrambling for Priority, Feng Yao's Big Day

"It's you?"

"Why are you in Young Master Qin's room!?"

Empress Zhou Wu saw Saintess Yao Yao open the door and noticed the flush on her face.

Her mind was shaken with shock!

Indeed, just as General Gu You and Linglong had said, Saintess Yao Yao had already used her Natural Charm Physique to bewitch Young Master Qin.

If things continued to develop this way, what would become of the Yaochi Sacred Land?

Wouldn't they end up being the sole superpower in this world!?

"What are you arguing about outside? If you have something to say, come in."

Young Master Qin's urging voice rang out.

Saintess Yao Yao lowered her head, slightly embarrassed, and followed the preoccupied Empress Zhou Wu into Young Master Qin's bedroom.

"Saintess Yao Yao, come here."

Young Master Qin smiled and beckoned her over, pulling Saintess Yao Yao into his arms and pecking her snow-white cheek. He then looked at Empress Zhou Wu and asked impatiently, "What are you doing coming to my place in the middle of the night?"

Seeing Saintess Yao Yao's alluring appearance, Empress Zhou Wu felt an even greater sense of urgency and stated bluntly, "My Mingyue Dynasty is in urgent need of Yuan Stones, and I want to borrow some from you."

Young Master Qin signaled with his eyes. Saintess Yao Yao took out a storage bracelet and tossed it to Empress Zhou Wu, saying softly, "This is one-fifth of the Ziyang Imperial Family's savings. Logically, I should split these Yuan Stones evenly with you, but my Yaochi Sacred Land is about to undergo reconstruction..."

"Why explain so much? Yaochi should take more. Besides, you will need resources for your future cultivation as well."

Young Master Qin wrapped his arms around Saintess Yao Yao's supple, water-like waist and urged Empress Zhou Wu, "You've gotten the Yuan Stones, so you should leave now."

Leave?

Empress Zhou Wu was burning with anxiety.

Given the current situation, how could she just leave?

Saintess Yao Yao had originally intended to split the Ziyang Imperial Family's resources with the Mingyue Dynasty.

But because of Young Master Qin's words, how many resources had her Mingyue Dynasty lost?

And this was only the beginning.

If she let Saintess Yao Yao continue to bewitch Young Master Qin, who knew how much her Mingyue Dynasty would be neglected in the future.

Perhaps Young Master Qin might even package up her Mingyue Dynasty and give it to Saintess Yao Yao!

This was clearly Young Master Qin having a new love and forgetting the old.

He was fickle in his affections!

Her small fists behind her back were clenched tight. She looked at Young Master Qin and said mockingly, "You said you would head to the Grandmist Continent in a few days. It's been several days now, and you're still staying at the Yaochi Sacred Land, immersed in a bed of softness. Could it be that you aren't going to the Grandmist Continent anymore?"

Hearing this, Saintess Yao Yao, whose Natural Charm Physique was currently restrained, felt her blushing face flush even redder.

Wasn't Empress Zhou Wu's meaning in this remark to implicitly scold her for bewitching Young Master Qin to the point where he wouldn't even leave the room?

Of course, she couldn't refute it.

After all, that was exactly what she was doing!

Once the Natural Charm Physique was triggered, she found herself seemingly unable to control it.

She couldn't bear to leave Young Master Qin.

She wanted to be stuck to him every moment.

Even for someone as strong as her, she couldn't go against the influence of this Physique and her own heart.

Young Master Qin tilted his head, a smile playing on the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with a lecherous glint. "Since when did I need you to worry about when I set off?"

Empress Zhou Wu shook her head. "This matter indeed isn't for me to worry about, but can your body still handle it?"

"Not to mention the Natural Charm Physique in your arms, even I can make your waist and knees weak."

"Have you forgotten the scene in the Qifeng Palace where you fled in a panic?"

Young Master Qin pointed at Empress Zhou Wu's delicate nose and said annoyedly, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. When did I ever flee in a panic?"

Empress Zhou Wu walked forward on her own, pulled Young Master Qin towards the bed, and said, "If you aren't willing to admit it, then how about we reenact it?"

In any case, the wood was already carved into a boat; the rice was already cooked.

Empress Zhou Wu had no intention of ever giving herself to anyone else in this life.

Since it was already destined that Young Master Qin would be her only Dao Companion, why should she continue to put up a desperate fight?

What's more, with Saintess Yao Yao and her Natural Charm Physique eyeing him like a tiger, why not just give up and stop caring about so much?

*Hiss—*

Young Master Qin gasped, his eyes wide.

Saintess Yao Yao, standing to the side, had eyes filled with astonishment. She looked at the usually cold and arrogant Empress Mingyue in such a posture, as if her worldview had collapsed.

*Ugh—*

After a gust of wind blew by that she couldn't control, Saintess Yao Yao also fell down behind Empress Zhou Wu.

Empress Zhou Wu said softly, unwilling to admit defeat, "So what if you have the Natural Charm Physique?"

"So what if you are the Holy Master of Yaochi?"

"My Mingyue Dynasty has stood in this world for tens of thousands of years. Even if the opponent changes, my Mingyue Dynasty will still exist!"

"..."

Time passed day and night, like a white horse galloping past a crevice.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in the God Ruins, Young Master Qin looked pale, and under the sunlight, his skin seemed to become transparent.

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan exclaimed in admiration, "Young Master Qin, I haven't seen you in a while, but I didn't expect your Physique to have improved again. Congratulations!"

The experts of the Celestial God Clan followed up, "His skin is crystal clear, almost transparent."

"Such a Physique is rare in ancient and modern times. I fear Young Master Qin's strength has had another Breakthrough."

"My Celestial God Clan is honored to be able to go to the Grandmist Continent with Young Master Qin and fight side by side!"

Young Master Qin looked at Luo Xianxian and rolled his eyes. "I never realized before that your Celestial God Clan had the potential to be sycophants."

How could he have had any Breakthrough?

As the saying goes, one drop of essence is worth ten drops of blood.

This was clearly being squeezed dry to the point where not even a trace of blood could be seen.

He hadn't expected to be flattered by the Celestial God Clan, which truly surprised him.

Luo Xianxian was too embarrassed to lift her head.

Zhou Chen, standing to the side, looked around with eyes full of expectation. "Why hasn't my sister come yet?"

"Didn't she say she wanted to see me off? Why hasn't she come to the God Ruins? Could it be that the Mingyue Dynasty had some matters to attend to, and she hasn't arrived at the Yaochi Sacred Land yet?"

Su Youyu whispered, "Maybe we should stop waiting. Your Majesty returned to the Mingyue Dynasty a long time ago. It's obvious that she won't be coming now."

As she spoke, she glanced at Young Master Qin.

She didn't say it directly.

Since Empress Mingyue hadn't come to see Zhou Chen off at this time, it was clear she didn't want to see Young Master Qin again.

Continuing to wait was just a waste of time.

Young Master Qin shook his head indifferently and said softly, "She's here."

Not far away, Empress Zhou Wu flew through the air, pulled Zhou Chen aside, and gave him many instructions repeatedly before letting him return to Young Master Qin's side.

She glared fiercely at Young Master Qin with resentment in her beautiful eyes and said in a deep voice, "I don't expect Little Chen to achieve great things; I only want him to return safely. He is my younger brother, and you know this in your heart as well."

Young Master Qin patted Zhou Chen's head and nodded, "I know."

Luo Xinyi's focus was always different. She pointed at Empress Zhou Wu's slightly protruding abdomen and exclaimed in surprise, "It's been less than a month, how are you already showing, Empress Mingyue!?"

Before anyone else could notice the change in Empress Zhou Wu, Young Master Qin had already taken everyone into the ancient prison-suppressing tower. Then, following the special humming rhythm of the ancient prison-suppressing tower, he tore open a crack in this God Ruins and vanished.

Empress Zhou Wu stroked her slightly protruding lower abdomen.

There was not a shred of maternal radiance in her beautiful eyes, only endless embarrassment and humiliation.

Was she really showing?

It was clearly because she had been bullied by that shameless, lecherous scoundrel Young Master Qin, who had deliberately tricked her!

—

The moment Empress Zhou Wu left the God Ruins, Young Master Qin, wrapped in the ancient prison-suppressing tower, finally arrived at the Grandmist Continent.

"Damn it, everyone was thrown out?"

Young Master Qin looked inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower to see only Leng Li left, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Not to mention the people from the Celestial God Clan, even Alchemist Emperor Mo Qiangu and Moo Moo from the God-Demon Realm had been thrown out by the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

Only Leng Li, who served as the artifact spirit, remained.

Leng Li softly reassured him, "At the very last moment of tearing through the space-time rift, the ancient prison-suppressing tower began to purge 'impurities' that didn't belong to it to promote itself to a Divine Artifact. Luo Xianxian and the others were not lost in the space-time rift; they also arrived on this continent. Furthermore, now that the Celestial God Clan is no longer restricted by the rules of heaven and earth, their Realms will advance by leaps and bounds. The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan will certainly be able to return to the ranks of the Heavenly God Realm, and the Heavenly God Realm is enough to dominate one side in the Grandmist Continent, so there won't be any danger to their lives."

When Leng Li saw the styx purple ice crystal inside the tower beginning to tremble, she said with surprise, "The styx purple ice crystal seems to be starting to inherit memories again. You should stay by yourself for a while."

After saying this, Leng Li merged into the styx purple ice crystal and began to receive the memory inheritance.

Surprise aside, Zhou Chen, a Child of Luck with purple quality, and the Daughters of Luck should also have their own opportunities upon arriving at the Grandmist Continent.

After all, even someone with blue quality like Dao Child Leng Shang had managed to become a Dao Child of the Top Three Sects.

He withdrew his mind and began to examine the room in front of him.

The surroundings were decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and red silk was draped everywhere. Large 'Double Happiness' characters came into view, which were exceptionally festive.

"Is this a wedding room?"

Young Master Qin turned to look at the empty wedding bed and wondered, "I don't see a bride either."

He punched the humming ancient prison-suppressing tower and cursed angrily, "Stop shaking! I know your tower body is below this room, but isn't there a Formation underneath? If even you can't break the Formation, do you want me to smash it with brute force? What if I can't break it? I've just arrived; can't you let me figure out the situation first!"

The ancient prison-suppressing tower had indeed brought him to the Grandmist Continent, but he didn't even know where he was right now.

He only knew that there was a Formation below protecting the tower's body.

The Formation was so strong that even he, in his current state, would find it difficult to break it in a short time!

"Someone's coming!"

"And it's an acquaintance?"

Sensing a familiar aura approaching outside, Young Master Qin quickly opened the door.

Feng Yao, who had been walking forward with her head down, noticed a pair of feet in front of her. She slowly looked up and saw Young Master Qin's familiar face. Her fiery red eyelashes fluttered, and the shock in her beautiful eyes flashed by before she bitterly shook her head, mocking herself, "I'm already hallucinating."

"Feng Yao, oh Feng Yao, you really are in a tight spot, and you still have the mind to fantasize here."

"Young Master Qin is a native of that fragment; in this life, we can only meet in the God Ruins. How could he possibly come to this Grandmist Continent?"

"Besides, with the Blood Asura Clan and the Earth Sect, plus the Celestial God Clan moving their Divine Fire to that world, Young Master Qin is likely already..."

Young Master Qin smiled, his eyes filled with a lecherous glint, and said playfully, "Already what? Why don't you continue?"

Seeing the Young Master Qin in front of her speaking, anger rose in Feng Yao's beautiful eyes. She formed a fist and hammered it fiercely towards Young Master Qin's face, growling, "Chu Yun, don't push your luck!"

She only thought that the Young Master Qin in front of her was Chu Yun, who was about to finish his wedding, in disguise. Her anger rose like a fire Phoenix, and she smashed it fiercely towards his face.

*Whoosh—*

Pure Phoenix Flame rose up, forming a barrier in front of Young Master Qin, blocking Feng Yao's punch.

Young Master Qin's playfulness intensified. "What's wrong, Miss Feng Yao? We haven't seen each other in a while, and now that you see me, you want to kill me?"

Feng Yao's beautiful eyes widened as she watched the Pure Phoenix Flame begin to dissipate, her voice trembling, "Pure Phoenix Flame, Phoenix Treasure Technique—you are Young Master Qin, you really are Young Master Qin!?"

Young Master Qin smiled and nodded, just about to speak.

But he saw the graceful Feng Yao rush directly into his arms without caring about propriety, holding him tightly.
