Xiao Chen, Eldest Prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom-Another One Favored by Fate

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

From within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, ripples of magical power and rumbling blasts could occasionally be heard.

Everyone in the Jun Family knew that Jun Xiaoyao had broken through again.

At first, quite a few Jun Family disciples had been utterly amazed by Jun Xiaoyao's rate of breakthroughs.

By now, they had grown accustomed to it.

If he did not possess such a terrifying breakthrough speed, the Jun Family would find it strange instead.

And throughout these past six months, Bai Yuer had remained kneeling outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Her face had turned pale, and she had become gaunt and emaciated, far thinner than she had been half a year ago.

As a cultivator, Bai Yuer would not starve to death even after going without food for more than half a year, but she would still grow weak.

How could she still possess the lofty bearing of an imperial princess?

She was simply like a lowly female slave, humbly begging Jun Xiaoyao for forgiveness.

During this time, Jun Xiaoyao had not paid her the slightest attention. Even when he left the Heavenly Emperor Palace and encountered her, he would not spare her a second glance, as though she did not exist.

Bai Yuer merely revealed a self-mocking smile.

She had brought this upon herself. She deserved it.

Within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in a secret chamber, cultivating.

Accompanied by a thunderous boom, Jun Xiaoyao's aura surged to its peak before breaking through once more.

"I've broken through to the ninth level of the Divine Palace Realm," Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Starting from the five physical body realms, passing through the Fifth Divine Treasury Realm and the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, he had now reached the ninth level of the Divine Palace Realm.

At merely eight years old, Jun Xiaoyao had broken through twenty-eight cultivation realms in eight years.

That was absolutely terrifying beyond compare.

Ordinarily, even some favored children of heaven would need around twenty years to break through so many realms.

Jun Xiaoyao had accomplished it in only eight years.

"It's still not enough. By the Tenth Birthday Banquet, I must at least break through to the True Spirit Realm," Jun Xiaoyao said to himself.

He had a premonition that his Tenth Birthday Banquet would not be so peaceful.

"Right, there's also the matter of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom that needs handling."

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao directly sent a voice transmission to Jun Linglong.

A moment later, Jun Linglong pushed open the door and entered.

With a flick of his wrist, Jun Xiaoyao took out a precious herb from his spatial ring. It overflowed with purple qi and resembled a qilin.

It was the Qilin Immortal Medicine.

If this Undying Medicine were placed outside, it would certainly stir up a bloody storm and send countless people scrambling to seize it.

"Divine Child, are you planning to..." Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes flickered.

Had Jun Xiaoyao finally decided to deal with the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom?

"Linglong, go to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom on my behalf and tell its ruler that if he is willing to submit to me, this Qilin Immortal Medicine will be given to him to save his life."

As Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he handed the Qilin Immortal Medicine to Jun Linglong.

"Linglong will certainly accomplish it. I'll go tell Bai Yuer right away," Jun Linglong said.

Bai Yuer had knelt outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace for more than half a year. She could be considered sincerely repentant, and Jun Linglong had seen it all.

"Wait. Don't tell Bai Yuer yet. Let her continue kneeling. And the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom must not tell Bai Yuer about this medicine either," Jun Xiaoyao said, waving his hand.

He intended to let Bai Yuer kneel for a full year first.

Then, when she was on the verge of complete despair, she would learn that her imperial father had already been cured.

At that time, one could well imagine Bai Yuer's feelings.

She would absolutely become utterly devoted and loyal to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Why do I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a villain?" Jun Xiaoyao muttered inwardly, stroking his chin.

Jun Linglong was extremely intelligent and had also thought of this.

She could not help admiring Jun Xiaoyao's methods even more.

A prodigy who possessed only martial strength would find it difficult to reach the end.

Only a prodigy who combined strength and strategy could qualify to ascend to the peak.

Afterward, Jun Linglong left the Heavenly Emperor Palace and sought out a protector from her lineage, preparing to head to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.

The protector was an elderly woman. Seeing Jun Linglong running about for Jun Xiaoyao all these years, she could not help feeling distressed and spoke up.

"Miss, is this really worth it? The Divine Child may truly see you as nothing more than a maid."

"Granny Hua, don't say such things again in the future. You cannot imagine the Divine Child's future achievements."

"Even if I can only be a maid, Linglong is content," Jun Linglong said.

Granny Hua sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

Naturally, she could not know that Jun Linglong had once glimpsed a corner of the future.

Being the maid of a future Heavenly Emperor seemed rather nice too...

Jun Linglong and Granny Hua rushed toward the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom without stopping for a moment.

Meanwhile, in Cang Province, one of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces within the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

The entirety of Cang Province bordered Fire Province and was roughly similar in size.

The power that controlled all of Cang Province was a top-tier orthodoxy—the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.

Unlike the increasingly weakened Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom was flourishing day by day, showing signs of becoming the foremost among the four ancient kingdoms.

At this moment, within a grand hall of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom's imperial palace.

A youth clad in a four-clawed Azure Dragon robe was kneeling on the ground.

He had delicate, handsome features that became more pleasing the longer one looked at him, and he appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old.

His cultivation had already reached the Divine Palace Realm.

In an ancient aristocratic family, reaching the Divine Palace Realm at his age would already make him a genius.

Let alone in the outside world, where he would absolutely be considered a favored child of heaven.

He was Bai Yuer's fiancé, the eldest prince of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, Xiao Chen.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and his face carried an expression of restrained fury. With his hands clasped, he spoke to the figure seated upon the imperial throne, shrouded in endless radiance of magical power.

"Imperial Father, please grant your son an Undying Medicine and send it to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom!"

Upon the imperial throne sat the Azure Dragon ruler. As his magical power surged and trembled, it seemed to vaguely condense into the form of a dragon, and his aura was vast beyond measure.

He spoke calmly. "My son, our Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom possesses only one Azure Dragon Undying Medicine, inherited from our ancestors. How could we possibly take it out and give it to the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom?"

"But Yuer is kneeling at the Jun Family and suffering humiliation. As her fiancé, how can I swallow this anger?"

Xiao Chen's fury blazed. His five fingers clenched tightly into a fist, his nails digging deeply into his palm and bringing piercing pain.

News of Bai Yuer kneeling for a long time before the Jun Family Divine Child's residence had already spread.

While many were curious about the Jun Family's mysterious Divine Child, they were also watching the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom make a laughingstock of itself.

What kind of humiliation was it for one's own fiancée to kneel before another man's residence?

Moreover, Bai Yuer was Xiao Chen's childhood sweetheart. How could he endure this grievance?

"My son, you must restrain your temper. Your father has his own considerations regarding the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom," the Azure Dragon ruler said lightly.

"What is so remarkable about that Jun Family Divine Child? He relies on his status and background to bully others with his power!"

"He even humiliates a woman. Is he even human?" Xiao Chen shouted angrily.

It never occurred to him to consider what Bai Yuer had done wrong.

How could his own fiancée possibly have done anything wrong? It had to be Jun Xiaoyao's fault.

"Silence. Do not speak such reckless nonsense about this matter. Withdraw. The Jun Family is not something you are qualified to criticize," the Azure Dragon ruler said with a frown.

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and turned to leave the grand hall.

Just wait. What is so great about the Jun Family Divine Child? Once I master that move, I'll go to the Jun Family and bring Yuer back. While I'm at it, I'll teach that Divine Child a lesson.

As Xiao Chen thought this, his fingers involuntarily rubbed the Panlong Ring on his hand.

This Panlong Ring was something his late imperial mother had passed down to him.

A few years ago, the Panlong Ring had begun imparting powerful cultivation techniques and pure magical power to him.

That was precisely why Xiao Chen possessed his current talent and strength.

"With the Panlong Ring left behind by Imperial Mother, even that Jun Family Divine Child will one day be beneath my feet!"

Xiao Chen wore a cold, severe expression as he spoke with baffling confidence.
