He looked at Bai Yu'er from head to toe. Her skin was smooth and shiny, and her legs were long and slender. As expected of a renowned beauty.
The red mark of the cinnabar at the center of her brow was as bright as fire.
It seemed to contain a ball of divine fire that could burn the world.
Bai Yu'er's aptitude was not bad.
Jun Xiaoyao originally planned to use her as a pawn to manage the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix for him if she was obedient.
Now, it seemed that she was yet another arrogant beauty who was used to being fawned over. She thought that all men in the world would fawn over her.
'If it were any other transcender from a commoner, they would've probably licked her feet first. Unfortunately, I'm not…' Jun Xiaoyao shook his head to himself.
Jun Xiaoyao had an invincible talent, an invincible identity, and an invincible background.
He was a handsome and wealthy man.
Now it was someone else who had to suck up to him, not the other way around.
Jun Linglong, for instance, was the first woman who licked him.
However, it was obvious that Bai Yu'er was not as smart as Jun Linglong. In other words, she had been fawning over Jun Linglong for too long.
How dare she put on airs in front of Jun Xiaoyao.
"How long have we known each other?" Jun Xiaoyao asked with a faint smile.
Bai Yu'er was slightly stunned.
Why did he suddenly bring up something irrelevant?
However, Bai Yu'er continued, "This is the first time we've met, young master."
"You're asking for the Immortality Herb so naturally, for someone you've just met for the first time. I may have promised you before, but did I say anything about giving it to the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix for free?"
"Besides, what does the survival of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix have to do with me?"
"Is your father's life important to me?"
Jun Xiaoyao's smile faded as he said coldly.
Bai Yu'er then came to her senses, her face alternating between red and blue.
Jun Xiaoyao's three questions rendered her speechless. Her expression was awkward and unnatural.
Indeed, Jun Linglong only told her that a genius of the Jun family was willing to give her the Immortality Herb, but she never said that it was free.
Furthermore, the survival of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix and the king had nothing to do with Jun Xiaoyao.
"But you're not short of the Immortality Herb. A single stalk of it could save a life, or even billions of lives. Why wouldn't you be willing?"
Bai Yu'er remained on the moral high ground.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression turned completely apathetic as he said coldly, "Simple. The Immortality Herb is mine. I can give it to a dog if I want!"
Bai Yu'er's body trembled slightly upon hearing that. Her face was pale as a sense of humiliation washed over her.
What Jun Xiaoyao said meant that her father was worse than a dog to him.
Bai Yu'er was furious at that thought and blurted out.
"There's no need for you to find excuses, young master. You're just lusting after my body, aren't you? Unfortunately, I already have a fiancé. I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request!"
Jun Linglong's expression changed immediately.
She never thought that Bai Yu'er would say something so offensive.
Bai Yu'er came to her senses as well. She felt a chill permeate her body, and her face turned as pale as paper.
She actually blurted out what she was thinking.
"Hehe…"
Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
Bai Yu'er felt even more terrified upon hearing his laughter.
Jun Xiaoyao wrapped his arm around Jun Linglong's slender and soft waist.
Five years had passed, and Jun Linglong was now 19 years old. She was a young girl who had just matured. Her figure was soft and slender, with the right places to be slender and the right places to be plump.
Despite Jun Linglong's meticulousness and composure, she couldn't help but let out a soft moan when Jun Xiaoyao suddenly wrapped his arm around her slender waist. Her cheeks were flushed.
Jun Xiaoyao wore a playful expression, but his eyes remained indifferent.
"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do I have to do that?"
"Don't you like my Linglong's body? Who do you think you are?"
Bai Yu'er felt extremely ashamed of herself after hearing the two sentences.
Jun Linglong was indeed better than her in every way.
What shocked Bai Yu'er even more was what Jun Xiaoyao called himself.
This Divine Child!
"Oh gosh, is he the divine child of the Jun family?"
Bai Yu'er felt as if five thunderbolts were rumbling in her head. Her heart was in turmoil, and her long legs were trembling. She couldn't help but fall to the ground.
The divine child of the Clan of the Ancients was an absolute symbol of status.
Bai Yu'er initially thought that the young man before her was one of the more exceptional geniuses of the Jun family.
She never thought that it would be a divine child!
"Sir Divine Child, please forgive Bai Yu'er for her rudeness!" Bai Yu'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. She no longer cared about her long, fiery hair that was stained with dust.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained indifferent.
Jun Linglong, who still had his arm still wrapped around her slender waist, felt dizzy.
Jun Linglong's heart skipped a beat when she heard what Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly as he looked at Bai Yu'er, who was kneeling on the ground begging for forgiveness.
"You can only reap what you sow. Even a child would know that. Seems like you don't…"
Jun Xiaoyao said coldly.
Bai Yu'er was dreaming if she thought she could get her hands on a stalk of the Immortality Herb for free.
He waved his sleeve and turned around to leave.
Jun Linglong composed herself slightly and sighed at Bai Yu'er. "I can't help you with your rudeness before the divine child."
"No, please! My father still needs the Immortality Herb to save his life. He might not be able to hold on for many years!" Bai Yu'er cried, feeling extremely regretful.
If she had known earlier, she would have accepted the conditions without hesitation.
Her arrogance had brought her harm.
"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have done what I did." Jun Linglong expressed her helplessness.
There was no way she would provoke Jun Xiaoyao for the sake of someone she barely knew.
"I'm willing to kneel outside the divine child's bedchambers and beg for his forgiveness!" Bai Yu'er kept kowtowing, her fair forehead stained with blood.
Be it for the sake of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, her father, or herself, Bai Yu'er had to earn Jun Xiaoyao's forgiveness.
Jun Linglong shook her head slightly and let her be.
Before long, some members of the Jun family saw a beautiful woman dressed in red kneeling outside of Jun Xiaoyao's bedchambers in the Heavenly Emperor Palace. She looked extremely remorseful and determined.
"Huh? Isn't that the princess of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix? Why is she kneeling there?"
"Shh, I think she offended the divine child. Let's not get involved."
All the members of the Jun family avoided Bai Yu'er as if she was invisible.
Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao was relaxing in a spirit pool.
"Sir Divine Child…" Jun Linglong walked in.
"What, you want to plead on her behalf?" Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
"No, she brought it upon herself. I just feel that the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix behind her still has some value," Jun Linglong said after some thought.
She possessed the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong, making her intelligent and resourceful.
Jun Xiaoyao casually said, "Heh, I have my own plans for her. Her personality is too bad, so I need to teach her a lesson. Just leave her be for now."
Although he didn't like Bai Yu'er, Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to give up on the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.
With Bai Yu'er as a bridge, he would be able to better control the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.
"Sir Divine Child, you're truly a little naughty." Jun Linglong rolled her eyes at him, which was a rare sight. She behaved impudently for a bit before pouting coyly.
Despite being only eight years old, he still behaved like an elder.
Even though she had the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong, she couldn't read the man's mind.
"If I were that bad, I wouldn't have just wrapped my arms around her waist just now," Jun Xiaoyao said with a casual smile as his gaze moved down her slender waist.
The curve of her hips was full and alluring under her palace attire.
"Sir Divine Child, I'll be leaving now." Jun Linglong sensed Jun Xiaoyao's gaze. Her face reddened as she turned around and fled in a hurry.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
Sometimes, flirting with this smart maid was considered relaxing.
"Bai Yu'er's fiancé. Well, I hope he knows his place…"
Jun Xiaoyao was determined to teach Bai Yu'er a lesson because she was still useful to him.
Compared to killing her outright, wasn't it better to train her into a slave and pawn?
As for her fiancé, Jun Xiaoyao didn't care about his status or background.
How many people among the younger generation in the Huangtian Mystic Realm were of higher status and background than him?
