Three Years Later!

"Rest and recuperate here. I'll take him back first!" Once the strange phenomenon around Jia He had gradually faded, Jia Xing Tian spoke to the Nether Sea Flood Dragon.

The Nether Sea Flood Dragon nodded, then sank toward the bottom of the lake. The surface gradually returned to its former calm.

Jia Xing Tian carried Jia He and swiftly headed toward the imperial palace.

A short while later, Jia Xing Tian returned to the palace hall.

At that moment, within the palace grounds, a stunningly beautiful, tall young girl dressed in luxurious brocade robes seemed to sense something and glanced toward the main hall.

Beside the girl stood a little girl of two or three, who looked up at her sister with an innocent expression and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

This girl was Yaoye, the eldest princess of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, while the little girl beside her was naturally the younger princess, Yaoyue!

Yaoye looked at her sister and chuckled softly. "Nothing. It seems Great-Grandfather has returned. Let's go take a look at the main hall!"

The moment Yaoyue heard that Great-Grandfather had returned, she immediately clapped her little hands. "Okay, okay!"

Yaoye took Yaoyue's small hand and headed toward the main hall.

As soon as they reached the outside of the hall, Yaoye saw her great-grandfather. However, he seemed to be holding something in his arms, and she could not make it out clearly at first.

"Great-Grandfather, how is the Nether Sea Flood Dragon's condition?" Yaoye asked softly.

Jia Xing Tian replied, "The Nether Sea Flood Dragon's injuries can still be suppressed. There is no major problem for the time being."

As she spoke, Yaoye drew closer and finally realized that Jia Xing Tian was holding a baby in his arms.

Yaoye was instantly stunned. "Great-Grandfather, this child?"

Jia Xing Tian said excitedly, "I found this child in the back mountain behind the imperial palace. He may be an opportunity bestowed upon our Jia Ma Imperial Family by Heaven!"

Yaoye and Yaoyue came to Jia Xing Tian's side. Yaoyue was too short to see, so she looked up eagerly and tugged anxiously at Yaoye's skirt. "Sister, Sister, pick me up so I can see too!"

Amused, Yaoye picked up her younger sister, allowing Yaoyue to see Jia He in Jia Xing Tian's arms as well.

"Is he a boy or a girl? Why does Great-Grandfather say he is an opportunity for our imperial family?" Yaoye asked.

Jia Xing Tian said, "A boy. From now on, he will be your younger brother!"

"What a cute little brother!" Yaoyue stretched out her little hand, wanting to pinch Jia He's cheek.

However, Jia He did not like having his face pinched. He lightly tilted his little head aside and avoided Yaoyue's mischievous hand.

At the sight of this, a gleam flashed through Yaoye's beautiful eyes.

Jia He also saw the eldest princess of the imperial family. She truly was exceptionally beautiful, with delicate features and a faint air of cool elegance in her gaze despite her young age.

Jia Xing Tian said, "This child's talent is extraordinary. Earlier, when I was preparing to inspect his innate constitution, he began absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on his own. Within a few breaths, he had already broken through to the Dou Zhe realm!"

"What?" A look of shock rose on Yaoye's lovely face as well.

Ordinary people began cultivating Dou Qi at five. Reaching the ninth stage of Dou Qi by ten was already considered the mark of an exceptional genius.

If one could break through to the Dou Zhe realm before the age of fifteen, they would at least be able to become a Dou Wang powerhouse in the future.

Yet Jia He, who was still only an infant, had already broken through to the Dou Zhe realm. No wonder Great-Grandfather said he was an opportunity for the Jia Ma Imperial Family!

Though Yaoye was shocked inwardly, she was no ordinary person. After her surprise faded, she looked at Jia Xing Tian and asked, "Great-Grandfather, what is this child's name?"

"I named him Jia He," Jia Xing Tian said.

Yaoye repeated the name, then said, "Then he is Yue'er's and my younger brother. Does Great-Grandfather hope that he will have a place in the imperial family in the future?"

Jia Xing Tian said, "With talent like his, he will surely be a blessing to our imperial family. It is not impossible that he may become the pillar supporting our imperial family!"

"I understand, Great-Grandfather." Yaoye nodded.

Yaoyue clapped happily. "That's wonderful! I'm finally not the youngest anymore!"

Yaoye and Jia Xing Tian immediately laughed at Yaoyue's words.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

Three years passed in an instant.

Over these three years, Jia He had remained within the imperial family, living with the two sisters, Yaoye and Yaoyue.

Perhaps because he was a transmigrator, or perhaps because this cultivation world was simply different, Jia He had grown taller over these three years than ordinary children of five or six.

Of course, Jia He had displayed other exceptional traits during these three years as well.

While other three-year-olds only knew how to play, Jia He had already learned to read and write, and had begun browsing cultivation methods and Dou skills in the imperial family's library.

What surprised Jia Xing Tian and Yaoye even more was that any cultivation method or Dou skill Jia He had read could reach minor mastery within three days and full mastery within half a month.

In just three short years, Jia He had already cultivated to the nine-star Da Dou Shi realm. Even Jia Xing Tian felt ashamed by comparison!

Fortunately, Yaoye and Jia Xing Tian had long since grown accustomed to it. They simply regarded Jia He as a peerless monster blessed with extraordinary talent, someone ordinary people could never compare to!

In a garden behind the imperial palace.

Jia He, dressed in white robes, sat beside a pavilion, looking at the azure lotuses in the pond and the koi hiding beneath them from the scorching summer sun.

Just then, a pair of little hands suddenly covered Jia He's eyes, and a playful voice rang out. "Guess who I am?"

Jia He had long heard those light, sneaky footsteps. Other than the imperial family's little princess, no one else would treat him like this.

"Yue'er," Jia He said softly.

"Hmph, you have to call me Sister Yue'er, understand?" Yaoyue's small figure walked over and sat beside Jia He, pouting as she spoke.

Though Yaoyue was two years older than him, she was still only a five-year-old child.

Jia He was now three, but including the eighteen years of experience from his previous life, he was already twenty-one. There was no way he could call a five-year-old girl his older sister!

Jia He merely smiled lightly, then turned his gaze back toward the Azure Lotus Pond.

"Ah, you're so boring. I don't even know what you're looking at here. Come outside and play with me! It's so much fun outside the imperial palace!" Yaoyue grabbed Jia He's robe and shook it as she spoke.

Jia He looked at Yaoyue and said softly, "Have you forgotten how Sister Yaoye lectured you before? You still want to sneak out and play?"

At the thought of her sister, Yaoyue wilted like an eggplant struck by frost.

But soon, Yaoyue perked up again. "But you're different! Sister has always been very lenient with you. If the two of us go out together, maybe Sister will spare me for your sake!"

Yaoyue sat beside him, fantasizing innocently, completely unaware of Jia He's gaze, as though he were looking at a fool.

"You want to go out and play?" A cool voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion.

Yaoyue's body jolted. She stiffly turned her head and obediently called out to the newcomer, "Sister!"

Yaoye slowly walked into the pavilion. Three years had passed, and the aura of authority around her had grown ever stronger.
