The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Holy Son Proposed Marriage and Successfully Lived Until He Died!

Xiao Baichuan paused at those words, his brows knitting.

He had finally managed to take a medicinal bath and was just enjoy... just feeling awkward. What overfed busybody had come to interrupt?

He glanced back at Ling Zhi, who looked equally disappointed.

"People from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? What are they here for?"

The two had no choice but to climb out of the pool and get dressed again.

"Ling Xi" still wore that gold-trimmed red robe, her silvery-white hair falling loosely down her back.

Ling Zhi changed into a pale green dress, pinned her black hair into a bun, and followed behind her "elder sister."

The two stunning beauties left the cave abode one after the other and headed toward the sacred hall.

Just as they entered the sacred hall, Xiao Baichuan heard a noisy commotion outside. It seemed the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had brought quite a few people.

Xiao Baichuan frowned and turned to ask the third elder beside him.

"What is the Heavenly Phoenix Holy Son doing in the Heavenly Snake Realm?"

The third elder hesitated, glancing at Ling Zhi behind Xiao Baichuan.

"Clan leader, Huang Aotian, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's holy son, has come to propose marriage."

"He says he wishes to marry Lady Ling Zhi."

The moment those words fell, Ling Zhi was the first to bristle.

"What?!"

Her eyes flew wide, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to charge outside.

"That late-stage Seven-Star Dou Saint trash, Huang Aotian, dares to ask for my hand?"

"Just wait! If I don't beat the shit out of him today, it'll only be because he's already emptied his bowels!"

Seeing Ling Zhi roll up her sleeves to go beat the fellow up, Xiao Baichuan immediately stopped her.

"Wait."

Ling Zhi stopped and looked back at him.

The corners of Xiao Baichuan's lips lifted slightly, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.

"Let me."

Hearing that her elder sister would stand up for her, Ling Zhi's eyes immediately sparkled with little stars.

"Elder sister!"

Xiao Baichuan and Ling Zhi walked out of the sacred hall.

In the square outside, a young man in golden robes was directing his subordinates as they laid out betrothal gifts. Chests covered the ground, leaving the square before the sacred hall in disarray.

The young man had handsome features and an arrogant air about his brows. He was none other than Huang Aotian, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's holy son.

Noticing someone coming out, he turned to look.

Then he saw Ling Xi and Ling Zhi standing side by side.

The coldly beautiful empress in gold-trimmed red robes and the lively maiden in a pale green dress, one cold and one warm, each setting off the other's beauty.

Huang Aotian froze, a gleam of greed flashing through his eyes.

He had long heard that the Heavenly Serpent Clan's empress possessed peerless beauty. Seeing her today, she truly lived up to her reputation.

His gaze roamed brazenly over the two, and his lips even curled into a smile he thought was charming.

Seeing the fellow actually eyeing him so lecherously, Xiao Baichuan felt goosebumps rise.

Although this body was currently a woman's, he was a man at his core.

Being looked at like that by another man instantly made him uncomfortable all over.

Xiao Baichuan instinctively raised his hand, intending to teach this brat who had taken a fancy to his woman a lesson.

He figured thirty percent of his strength would do. That probably would not kill the fellow.

He casually struck out with his palm.

Boom!!!

The heavens suddenly shuddered, as though someone had torn a rift through their center.

A palm imprint a hundred zhang wide appeared out of thin air above the Heavenly Snake Realm. Its five fingers were distinct, its lines clear, every crease resembling a winding mountain range.

Bearing the oppressive might of a Dou Di, the palm imprint descended from the sky.

Before that oppressive might even reached the ground, everyone in the square felt as though the sky had collapsed.

Huang Aotian's expression changed drastically, the arrogance on his face instantly replaced by terror.

He had never imagined that the Heavenly Serpent Clan's empress would intend to kill him right from the outset!

At that moment, Huang Aotian, along with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan guards, attendants, and everyone else behind him, was pinned in place by that oppressive might, unable even to move their eyes.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan had brought no small number of experts this time, yet beneath that palm, not one could lift a finger.

As the palm imprint descended.

Those chests of betrothal gifts, along with Huang Aotian and everyone who had come from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

All silently turned to ash the instant the palm imprint touched the ground.

Not even a wisp of dust remained.

Huang Aotian had successfully fulfilled his wish of living until he died.

He had simply been swatted dead like something by the roadside.

Boom-!

The palm imprint did not stop after swatting the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's people to death.

Only when that enormous palm met the ground did the earth cave in.

A bottomless, five-fingered abyss had appeared in the square before the sacred hall.

The edges of the abyss were smooth as mirrors, the shapes of all five fingers clearly distinguishable, as though a god had pressed a handprint into the mortal world.

Residual Dou Qi might still radiated from the surroundings.

Smelling the blood that permeated the air, the surrounding Heavenly Serpent clanspeople had yet to fully take in this deeply shocking sight.

"C-Clan leader, you killed the Heavenly Phoenix Holy Son!"

Sensing that the other party's signs of life had vanished completely, the third elder knew there would be plenty to keep him busy.

Xiao Baichuan remained outwardly composed, but inwardly, he sank into thought...

Holy shit, he was a Seven-Star Dou Saint, at least, and one slap just finished him?

This Huang Aotian was way too feeble! I clearly barely used any strength.

Xiao Baichuan was inwardly too shocked for words.

Was this the power of a Dou Di's body? It was practically a walking humanoid nuclear weapon!

He suddenly recalled what Ling Xi had said earlier-"Your cultivation is too low. Go borrow some soul power from that old man. You won't need much. One-Star Dou Zhe will be enough."

At the time, he had wondered whether One-Star Dou Zhe might not quite be enough.

Now, looking at the result, it turned out Ling Xi's "thirty percent strength" and his "thirty percent strength" were two completely different concepts.

But this did not seem to be the time to dwell on that. He seemed to have caused trouble.

I swatted the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's holy son dead right on our doorstep. Would this start a war between the two clans?

He had to hurry and find Ling Xi to swap their bodies back. He could not clean up this mess.

Beside him, Ling Zhi looked as though no amount of trouble could spoil her enjoyment of the spectacle, and she was still clapping and cheering.

"You're amazing, elder sister!"

"We should wipe them all out! Let them know our Heavenly Serpent Clan isn't to be trifled with!"

The corners of Xiao Baichuan's mouth twitched. Before he could speak, he sensed waves of powerful presences coming from behind him.

He turned to look.

Figures shot out from the depths of the Heavenly Serpent Clan's sacred hall, landing at the edge of the square.

Leading them were three elders in priestly robes, two men and one woman, their faces aged and their presences unfathomable.

Behind the three followed eight elders, each with a powerful presence. Even the weakest was a Seven-Star Dou Saint.

Xiao Baichuan narrowed his eyes, inwardly exclaiming in astonishment.

Three high priests, every one of them a Nine-Star Dou Saint.

The female priest among them was even a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint.

Even the weakest of the other elders was a Seven-Star Dou Saint.

They truly lived up to their status as one of the ancient era's foremost magical beast races.

The moment these Heavenly Serpent Clan leaders sensed the empress strike, they immediately emerged from seclusion, thinking a powerful enemy had invaded the clan and forced their empress to act.

Yet when they rushed out of the sacred hall and saw the enormous five-fingered abyss in the square, then the residual Dou Qi might permeating the air, they were all dumbfounded.

"Th-This was the clan leader's doing?"

"That presence in the abyss... people from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"
