Chapter 89: Chapter 89: The Mastermind Is About to Reveal Himself (Fourth Update)
Several thousand miles outside the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom Imperial City, there is a city.
The city has been occupied by the allied forces of the Three Ancient Countries.
At this moment, in the center of the city, within a lavish sleeping palace.
On the floor, lay the bodies of several dancing girls scattered in disorder.
The Sovereigns of the Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise stood with their hands hanging down.
Above, within the bed’s gauze canopy, a voice spoke with cold fury.
"Failed, you say? Your million-strong allied forces couldn’t even conquer a mere Vermilion Bird Ancient Country!"
"You didn’t bring the compass components to me, nor did you bring Bai Yu’Er. Are you all worthless idiots?"
The voice was exceedingly furious, carrying a chilling intent.
The Cyan Dragon Monarch and the others slightly bowed their heads, saying nothing.
They were long accustomed to that young lord’s mercurial temperament and violent outbursts.
Even as venerable Saints, the White Tiger Country Lord and the Sovereign of Xuanwu’s faces alternated between green and white, secretly gritting their teeth.
But when they saw the four pitch-black figures standing around, all their anger turned into powerlessness.
"The Jun Family’s Divine Son, Jun Xiaoyao, don’t think you’re someone special, huh?" the voice sneered with a cold edge.
Jun Xiaoyao’s status, position, and strength were indeed unparalleled by many.
But it didn’t mean no one could rival him.
Even though the Jun Family is extremely prosperous and glorious, it can’t control the entire Immortal Realm.
This young lord would not believe such a heretical idea.
"Send the order to reorganize the army, three days later, I, the Marquis, will personally lead an expedition, and we’ll see if the Jun Family’s Divine Son will give me face!" the voice shouted coldly.
"Yes, as you command." The Cyan Dragon Monarch and others cupped their hands, then exited the main hall.
"As long as the last part is collected, the complete Bronze Compass can be obtained, which will greatly aid in exploring the Bronze Immortal Hall."
"No one can obstruct me, not even the Jun Family’s Divine Son!"
...
Late at night.
Within a luxurious building in the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom Imperial Palace.
The faint sound of a zither drifted from the pavilion, bringing serenity and sublimated emotion to anyone who heard it.
Inside the pavilion, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the bed, the Phoenix Cry Qishan Zither resting on his lap.
His slender, white fingers plucked the seven strings, and the zither’s sound resonated gently.
The piece was one of the famous top ten guqin compositions that Jun Xiaoyao had heard in a past life, "Flowing Water."
Listening to it, any restless emotions seemed to be calmed.
Jun Xiaoyao didn’t take that so-called young lord seriously at all, appearing quite leisurely and relaxed.
While Jun Xiaoyao played the zither, he vaguely sensed a slight wave of the Divine Soul.
"Is it my mysterious Guardian?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured.
His Guardian seemed to also use zither music as a means of attack.
Upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao play, it wasn’t surprising that a wave of emotion was revealed.
When the zither tune ended, that mysterious Guardian still did not appear.
However, there was a knock at the door.
"Enter." Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Bai Yu’Er, dressed in a red gauze dress, entered carrying tea.
"Please have tea, Divine Son." Bai Yu’Er said obediently.
She had finally managed to get a chance from Jun Linglong to serve tea to Jun Xiaoyao.
Bai Yu’Er offered the tea, sneaking glances at Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, while playing the zither, Jun Xiaoyao had a unique aura, appearing otherworldly.
Any woman, upon seeing him, would likely fall hopelessly for him.
"Hmm." Jun Xiaoyao put away the Phoenix Cry Qishan and took the tea.
He took a small sip.
He glanced at Bai Yu’Er and suddenly noticed that the red gauze dress she was wearing seemed slightly transparent.
Her jasper-white skin was faintly visible.
Emitting a subtle allure.
Jun Xiaoyao paid no heed and continued drinking tea.
Bai Yu’Er bit her lip slightly and said: "Divine Son, our Vermilion Bird Ancient Country has a unique feature, the Vermilion Bird Spirit Spring. Bathing in it not only relaxes the mind but also enhances blood circulation throughout the body. Would Lord Divine Son like to try it?"
"Hmm, okay." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Isn’t this just a hot spring?
Bai Yu’Er showed joy and led Jun Xiaoyao to the Vermilion Bird Spirit Spring.
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, there was a spring, bubbling with warm Spiritual Qi.
Spiritual mist hovered, like an immortal realm.
"Divine Son, let Yu’Er serve you." Bai Yu’Er suggested proactively.
Jun Xiaoyao did not refuse.
What should be enjoyed ought to be enjoyed.
In the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, there was likely no one who could enjoy being served by a Princess.
Bai Yu’Er helped Jun Xiaoyao remove his outer robe.
Suddenly, Jun Xiaoyao’s white and well-proportioned, as if carved from Immortal Jade, upper body was revealed to Bai Yu’Er’s eyes.
Bai Yu’Er swallowed hard.
Pressed her legs tightly together.
Jun Xiaoyao entered the Vermilion Bird Spirit Spring, exhaling deeply.
This hot spring was indeed great.
Bai Yu’Er’s condition was quite strange, her face showing an unusual flush, her jade hands trembling slightly as she massaged Jun Xiaoyao’s shoulders.
Jun Xiaoyao noticed and thought to himself.
"Is she... in heat?"
"Lord Divine Son..." Bai Yu’Er’s voice trembled slightly, her crystal-clear eyes glistening.
She was incredibly attracted to Jun Xiaoyao’s body.
Jun Xiaoyao closed his eyes and said lightly: "Remember your status, don’t overstep the boundaries..."
Jun Xiaoyao’s words were like a basin of cold water pouring over Bai Yu’Er, awakening her instantly.
Indeed.
She was merely a female slave to Jun Xiaoyao, her status completely unmatched.
Jun Xiaoyao was a man she could not have.
"I’m sorry, Lord Divine Son, it was Yu’Er’s impropriety." Bai Yu’Er bit her lip, feeling extremely bitter inside.
Jun Xiaoyao felt no pity at all.
He wasn’t so altruistic, nor was he the kind to take advantage of every woman he saw.
With women, there’s nothing wrong with being physically intimate.
But it must also involve emotions.
Bai Yu’Er was nothing more than his female slave and pawn, how could she possibly qualify to touch his body?
Thinking of breaking Jun Xiaoyao’s purity as a man?
No door, not even a window!
"Leave, let me have some peace." Jun Xiaoyao said coldly, closing his eyes to rest.
Bai Yu’Er left with a gloomy face.
Yet the admiration and infatuation in her eyes for Jun Xiaoyao hadn’t diminished.
Jun Xiaoyao overlooked one thing; the more unattainable something is, the more desirable it becomes.
...
In a mere three days, time had passed.
During this time, the entire Vermilion Bird Ancient Country remained vigilant.
But with Jun Xiaoyao and the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Four Guards in charge, the country’s morale was much more stable.
Jun Xiaoyao, during these days, was quite leisurely, either playing the zither or soaking in the hot springs.
At this moment, in the Vermilion Bird Spirit Spring, Jun Linglong was brewing tea and attending to him.
Jun Xiaoyao said lightly: "If that guy doesn’t show up soon, I might have to go find him myself."
"Hehe, that person is probably cautious of you, young master, but he likely won’t give up easily." Jun Linglong smiled.
Sure enough, just then, Jun Xuehuang’s voice announced from outside: "Reporting to the Divine Son, the allied forces of the Three Ancient Countries are advancing toward the Imperial City again."
"So they’ve finally come, about time."
Jun Xiaoyao rose, Jun Linglong thoughtfully helped him change his clothes.
Dressed in white, spotless as snow, Jun Xiaoyao carried a playful smile on his face.
"Let’s see what kind of deity this so-called young lord truly is..."
