Isn't My Linglong More Tempting? The Imperial Princess Knelt Outside the Bedchamber

He sized up Bai Yuer. Her jade-like face was flawless, her skin crystalline, her legs long and slender. She truly deserved her reputation as a famed beauty.

Especially the dot of vermilion between her brows, red as fire and exceptionally bewitching.

It seemed to contain a divine flame capable of burning heaven and earth.

Bai Yuer's aptitude was not bad either.

Jun Xiaoyao had originally planned that if this woman were obedient, she could reluctantly serve as a chess piece and manage the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom for him.

But now, it seemed she was another proud beauty spoiled by bootlickers, convinced that every man in the world would revolve around her and fawn over her.

"If it were some other commoner transmigrator, he might have started licking her boots already. But unfortunately, I am not..." Jun Xiaoyao secretly shook his head.

Jun Xiaoyao possessed invincible talent, an invincible identity, and an invincible background.

He was the real deal: rich, handsome, and powerful.

Others should be fawning over him now, not the other way around.

Jun Linglong, for instance, was the first woman to fawn over him.

But Bai Yuer clearly was not as intelligent as Jun Linglong. Or rather, after being fawned over by bootlickers for so long, she had become carried away.

She actually dared to put on airs before Jun Xiaoyao.

"May I ask how long we have known each other?" Jun Xiaoyao asked with a faint smile.

Bai Yuer was slightly stunned.

Why had he suddenly brought up something irrelevant?

Still, Bai Yuer replied, "Yuer and Young Master are meeting for the first time."

"To demand an Undying Medicine from someone you have only just met as though it were only natural—although I agreed to give it to you before, did I ever say I would give it to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom for free?"

"Besides, what does the survival or destruction of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom have to do with me?"

"Is the life or death of your imperial father important to me?"

The smile vanished from Jun Xiaoyao's face as he spoke coldly.

Only then did Bai Yuer come to her senses, her expression shifting from green to red.

Jun Xiaoyao's three questions left her speechless, and her expression became awkward and unnatural.

Indeed, Jun Linglong had only told her that a Jun Family prodigy was willing to give her an Undying Medicine. She had never said it would be free.

Moreover, the life and death of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom Ruler and the fate of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom truly had not the slightest thing to do with Jun Xiaoyao.

"But Young Master does not lack Undying Medicine. Giving away a single stalk could save one life, or even hundreds of millions of living beings. Why are you unwilling?"

Bai Yuer still stood on the moral high ground.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression turned utterly indifferent as he said coldly, "Very simple. Because the Undying Medicine is mine. If I wish, I can give it to a dog!"

Bai Yuer's delicate body trembled slightly at his words, her face turning pale as a surge of humiliation rose from the depths of her heart.

Didn't Jun Xiaoyao's words mean that, in his eyes, her father was not even worth as much as a dog?

At that thought, Bai Yuer's heart burned with anger, and she could not help blurting out.

"Why must Young Master make excuses? Don't you simply covet my body? But unfortunately, Yuer already has a fiancé. I am afraid I cannot agree to that condition!"

As soon as those words fell, Jun Linglong's jade-like face changed instantly.

She had never expected Bai Yuer to say something so improper.

Bai Yuer herself came back to her senses as well. A chill spread through her delicate body, and her face turned white as paper.

She had actually spoken the thoughts buried in her heart aloud.

"Heh heh..."

Jun Xiaoyao laughed.

Yet upon hearing his laughter, Bai Yuer became even more terrified.

With one hand, Jun Xiaoyao directly wrapped his arm around Jun Linglong's slender, soft waist.

Five years had passed. Jun Linglong was nineteen now, a young girl newly grown into womanhood. Her figure was soft and graceful, slender where it should be slender and full where it should be full.

Caught around the waist so suddenly by Jun Xiaoyao, even Jun Linglong, despite her delicate and steady mind, could not help letting out a soft cry. Her cheeks flushed crimson.

A teasing look appeared on Jun Xiaoyao's face, but his eyes remained indifferent.

"Why don't you piss in a puddle and take a look at yourself? Does this Divine Son need to do that?"

"Isn't coveting my Linglong more tempting? What do you even count as?"

Those two consecutive sentences filled Bai Yuer with unbearable shame, making her face burn red.

In every respect, Jun Linglong was indeed more outstanding than her.

But what shocked Bai Yuer even more was the way Jun Xiaoyao had addressed himself.

This Divine Son!

"Heavens, could this person's identity be that of the Jun Family Divine Son?"

It was as if five bolts of lightning had exploded in Bai Yuer's mind. Stormy waves surged through her heart, her long legs trembling as she collapsed to the ground.

The Divine Son of an ancient aristocratic family was the absolute symbol of status and position.

At first, Bai Yuer had assumed that the youth before her was merely one of the Jun Family's more outstanding heaven-chosen geniuses.

She had never imagined that he was actually a Divine Son!

"Lord Divine Son, please forgive Bai Yuer's disrespect!" Bai Yuer knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, not even caring that her fiery red hair was becoming stained with dust.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained indifferent throughout.

Jun Linglong, whose slender waist was still held by him, had a rosy flush on her lovely face.

Especially after hearing the words "my Linglong," Jun Linglong's heart began pounding uncontrollably.

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Bai Yuer, who was kneeling on the ground and begging forgiveness, then slightly shook his head.

"Only by giving can one gain. It seems you do not understand even this principle that children know..."

Jun Xiaoyao said coldly.

Bai Yuer wanted to obtain an Undying Medicine for nothing. That was truly wishful thinking.

With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and left.

Jun Linglong steadied herself slightly before sighing to Bai Yuer. "You were so disrespectful before Lord Divine Son. I cannot help you either."

"No, please! My imperial father still needs the Undying Medicine to save his life. He may not be able to hold on for more than a few years!" Bai Yuer pleaded tearfully, filled with endless regret.

Had she known this would happen, she would have been better off accepting the conditions properly.

Her arrogance and overestimation of herself had harmed her.

"If you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?" Jun Linglong could only say that she was unable to help.

She could not possibly make Jun Xiaoyao unhappy for the sake of Bai Yuer, with whom she had only a shallow relationship.

"I am willing to kneel outside Lord Divine Son's bedchamber for as long as it takes and beg for his forgiveness!" Bai Yuer kowtowed without stopping, blood already staining her fair forehead.

Whether for the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, her father, or herself, Bai Yuer had to obtain Jun Xiaoyao's forgiveness.

Jun Linglong shook her head slightly and let her be.

Not long afterward, some members of the Jun Family saw a beauty in red kneeling outside Jun Xiaoyao's bedchamber in the Heavenly Emperor Palace. She remained on her knees, her beautiful face filled with extreme remorse and determination.

"Eh, isn't that the imperial princess of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom? Why is she kneeling there?"

"Shh, it seems she offended Lord Divine Son. Let's not get involved."

All the Jun Family members kept far away from Bai Yuer, treating her as air.

Within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao lay in a spiritual pool, relaxing.

"Lord Divine Son..." Jun Linglong walked in.

"What, do you want to plead for her?" Jun Xiaoyao asked with a faint smile.

"No. She brought this upon herself. It is simply that Linglong believes the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom behind her still has some value to exploit," Jun Linglong said thoughtfully.

She possessed the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, and her mind was sharp and intelligent.

"Heh, I have my own plans for her. Her temperament is too poor, so she needs to be properly disciplined. Let her cool her heels there for now," Jun Xiaoyao said casually.

Although he disliked Bai Yuer, Jun Xiaoyao did not wish to abandon the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom just like that.

With Bai Yuer serving as a bridge, he could better control the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.

"Lord Divine Son, you truly are a little bad." Jun Linglong rarely rolled her eyes at him, allowing herself a small act of boldness. Her coquettish reproach was captivating.

He was clearly only eight years old, yet he acted like a little old man.

Even with her Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, she could not see through the thoughts of the person before her.

"If I were truly bad, I would not have merely held your waist just now." Jun Xiaoyao smiled casually, his gaze traveling down Jun Linglong's slender waist.

Beneath the palace dress, the curve of her hips was full and alluring.

"Lord Divine Son, I shall take my leave first." Jun Linglong sensed Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, her face flushing with embarrassment as she turned and hurried away as though fleeing.

Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Sometimes, teasing this clever, ice-snow intelligent maid was also a way to relax.

"Bai Yuer's fiancé... Hm, I hope he knows his place..."

Jun Xiaoyao was determined to discipline Bai Yuer into obedience, because she still had value to exploit.

Rather than killing her outright, wouldn't it be better to train her into a slave and chess piece?

As for her fiancé, Jun Xiaoyao did not care what identity or background he possessed.

In the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, among the younger generation, how many could possibly have a higher status or stronger background than him?
