The Holy Maiden of Joyful Union was confused and couldn't believe that she had misjudged the peerless genius destined for her.
She didn't want to believe it either, after all, she had already offended him terribly.
A last glimmer of hope burned within her, and that hope lay in the distinguished guest she was about to meet.
Soon, a tall and handsome figure dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared at the end of the stairs. He had been carefully disguised, but the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union recognized him at a glance. He was the person she had been waiting for today.
Huanghe Longzi, Jiang Congqian.
Even with his distinctive dragon horns and tail concealed, Jiang Congqian, a dragon by birth and well-maintained since childhood, remained a tall and handsome man. A smile played on his lips as he ascended the stairs, immediately attracting the attention of numerous women.
But he had little interest in the many ordinary people here. He glanced around and looked somewhat confused.
Only when the Holy Maiden of Union released her spiritual energy fluctuations did he realize what was happening. He then gracefully sat down opposite her, smiling, and said, "It's been a long time."
At this moment, Jiang Congqian was overjoyed.
He had long known that the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union was the most beautiful woman in the world, and the entire Joyful Union Sect regarded her as a precious jewel. As a result, she still maintained her purity and waited for her future husband.
However, this holy maiden of love and bliss has now taken the initiative to invite him to a secret rendezvous in this secluded place. Could this mean...?
Does she have feelings for me?
At this thought, his heart burned with an unbearable heat. It wasn't that he lacked magnanimity, but rather that the woman sitting before him at this very moment was none other than the legendary Holy Maiden of Union.
The most beautiful woman of this era, so much so that legend says, whoever is able to marry her will be...
He will become the strongest in this world.
Across the table, the Holy Maiden of Joy remained impassive. She ordered fine wine, personally poured it for the Yellow River Dragon Prince, and uttered respectful and flattering words, quickly making the man feel elated and overjoyed.
She skillfully steered the conversation and manipulated Huang Helongzi's emotions. Soon, Jiang Congqian got emotional and couldn't help but confide his troubles to her, instinctively regarding her as his confidante.
The plan was progressing smoothly. Soon, the Holy Maiden of Joy guided him and said softly, "However, I believe that with Lord Dragon Prince's strength, he will surely be able to easily solve these problems."
"After all, two years ago, in Sheng Xuanren's secret realm, Lord Longzi and Yan Shuiyi joined forces to eliminate several powerful extraterrestrial demons with the strength of Nascent Soul in one fell swoop. This achievement is unprecedented, so I think no one would deliberately make things difficult for Lord Longzi."
As she spoke, she manipulated the emotions of the Yellow River Dragon Prince. Upon hearing this, the Dragon Prince's expression became quite complex.
The celestial wine brought by the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union was not very effective, and Jiang Congqian was already a bit tipsy. Taking advantage of this mood, he clenched his fists and couldn't hold back any longer: "I told you, right? By now, apart from those who witnessed it firsthand, hardly anyone believes what I'm saying..."
"Actually, my lightning techniques aren't particularly outstanding. They're fine against extraterrestrial demons with Golden Core strength, but against Nascent Soul strength demons... they can only do some minor damage..."
"The one who truly fought alongside Yan Shui that day and slew the three-headed giant demon was someone else entirely. In fact, I was also in danger that day, and it was that person who saved me..."
Chapter 707 A Good Morning Bite
A slight unease rose in the heart of the Holy Maiden of Joy, and she asked softly, "Who is that person?"
The Yellow River Dragon Prince lowered his head and remained silent for a while, almost as if he were asleep. The Holy Maiden of Joy waited patiently, and after a while, finally, the man spoke, uttering the name she least wanted to hear: "Yun Chu'an."
In an instant, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan felt her heart turn ice-cold.
However, at this moment, Huanghe Longzi seemed to have found an outlet for his frustration and began to complain: "You don't know, when I went to the front line where Qin and Zhao were fighting, my real intention was not what it seemed. I was going to see Yun Chu'an."
"That day, long before we joined forces to fight the extraterrestrial demons, we had a private duel. However, I must admit that I am inferior to him in both swordsmanship and lightning techniques. Even though I managed to suppress him slightly due to my higher cultivation level, he ultimately managed to turn the tables with sheer strength..."
He recounted the story in a rambling manner, revealing the secret he had previously begged Yun Chu'an not to tell anyone, telling the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union all at once.
In fact, this is what the Holy Maiden of Joy has always excelled at: she doesn't need to fight anyone personally. As long as she chats with people privately like this, and uses her exquisite skills and a little bit of magic, the other party will open their heart and tell her all these core secrets.
Therefore, she was able to easily control everything.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union had no interest in the secret that could break Jiang Congqian's "Genius Dragon Prince" golden body. Her heart was ice-cold. Although she was very unwilling to face it, she had to admit the reality.
it is true.
Yun Chu'an, the man she had already offended to death, was truly her destined soulmate...
At this thought, she couldn't help but close her eyes, her heart filled with despair.
……
On Huai Mountain, in Yun Chu'an's room.
As the morning sunlight gradually streamed through the window, Yun Chu'an slowly opened his eyes on the large bed, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
His gaze swept around and he saw Qi Qiao, You Wensi, and Rong Jieyu all sleeping peacefully with their eyes closed on his large bed. Qi Qiao's long eyelashes, illuminated by the morning sunlight, seemed to glow, making her exceptionally beautiful.
For a moment, Yun Chuan emptied his mind and body, said little, gazed at his beloved wife's serene face, and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation and leisure.
A few seconds passed, and suddenly, his expression changed. He turned his head to look to the side and saw You Wensi slowly opening her eyes.
She had just woken up, her large eyes still showing confusion. But then, she came to her senses, looked at Yun Chu'an, and put on a respectful and reserved expression: "Master..."
Yun Chu'an held up a finger, indicating that she shouldn't call him that yet. You Wensi was still quite uneasy, her face showing tension, but as if she could see through her thoughts, he said softly, "You did very well, don't worry."
You Wensi relaxed slightly, but then frowned and whispered, "But we've been trying so hard to keep these secrets. Qiao'er, being a zombie, is naturally slow-witted, so..."
How did she know?
Yun Chu'an held his breath and continued, "You can ask about that later when you have the chance. Let's not talk about that now. The most important thing right now is to find out how the Duke of Jin is doing."
The Qin general's invasion of Jin was unusual, as the Duke of Jin showed little reaction or even a whisper of it. A bad feeling crept into his heart, and he quickly made his decision: "You and the local officials continue cleaning up the battlefield. I'm going to the capital to see what the Duke is really up to."
Upon hearing this, You Wensi's expression turned serious, and he nodded solemnly, knowing that this was a matter of life and death, and could not be taken lightly.
After saying this, Yun Chuan's expression suddenly softened. He looked at You Wensi, lowered his head slightly, and gently kissed her lips, then said, "Once I figure this out and come back, I'll protect you."
"In this way, you and Consort Rong can both go into seclusion in peace and restore your cultivation to the peak of the late Golden Core stage."
He said this in a gentle voice, which also implied that from now on, he would provide them with unlimited resources for their cultivation.
Although he now possesses the formidable strength to fight and kill Nascent Soul cultivators, he is the only late-stage Golden Core cultivator in the family, which is far too few and insufficient to support the family.
He longed for the day when You Wensi and Rong Jieyu could return to their peak, and Ye Jinglan could break through to the late Golden Core stage, only then could the family be considered truly stable.
Upon hearing this, a look of gratitude appeared in You Wensi's eyes. She nodded slightly to Yun Chuan, her eyes softening, and then suddenly lowered her head, opened her mouth, and began to give him a good morning bite.
Yun Chu'an let out a long breath and did not stop her. He simply stroked her hair gently with one hand, whether to urge her or to encourage her, it was unclear.
You Wensi clearly took all of this as encouragement, and for a moment, she swallowed and spit out his enormous member even more vigorously.
Beside her, Qi Qiao, who was sleeping peacefully, trembled slightly with her eyelashes, then opened her eyes blankly. Yun Chu'an realized she was awake, reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently kissing her forehead.
Qi Qiao also noticed her husband, her lover, who was so close to her. Instantly, an angelic smile bloomed on her lips. She buried her head in the crook of his neck and gently rubbed against him, as if she were being affectionate.
Then she discovered that her mother, You Wensi, was down below, diligently biting Yun Chuan.
"Well……"
Qi Qiao blushed instantly. It was still early in the morning, and she'd just gotten up to see her mother using her mouth to service her husband…
What kind of system is this?
Qi Qiao had always thought of herself as not a particularly conservative girl, but now she felt her views were wavering.
Looking at her shocked expression, Yun Chu'an felt a slight, awkwardness creeping over him. But he suppressed his embarrassment and resistance, lowered his head, and kissed Qi Qiao's lips.
"Well……"
Qi Qiao didn't flinch, and instinctively kissed him. Only when their lips touched did she suddenly realize just how embarrassing their situation was.
She tried to dodge, but Yun Chu'an didn't give her the chance. His large hand moved upwards and soon grasped one of her soft, elastic breasts, gently kneading it.
"Good morning." He whispered in her ear, blew gently, and then nibbled on her ear.
Qi Qiao's face grew even redder, and she also felt her body stirring with desire.
She closed her eyes, no longer thinking about her lower body, about the lewd actions her mother was taking, her soft arms wrapped around her husband's neck, kissing him intently.
On the other side, Rong Jieyu also slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yun Chuan toying with You Wensi and her daughter again.
She smiled slightly and, without hesitation, moved closer to him from behind, pressing her full breasts against his back, her plump and soft flesh rubbing against his body, tenderly cuddling with him.
Early in the morning, another round of passionate lovemaking ensued. Only after all three women had been satisfied did Yun Chu'an get up, feeling refreshed.
Qi Qiao held his little hand as they washed up. You Wensi asked her how she knew these secrets, and Qi Qiao didn't hide anything and told him everything.
Then, she asked Yun Chu'an if they should call all the sisters over and talk things out so that they wouldn't have to hide and go into hiding every day in the future.
Yun Chu'an felt embarrassed upon hearing this, but after thinking carefully, he held Qi Qiao's small hand tightly and softly told her that there were more urgent matters that needed his attention.
He then told her about the Duke of Jin's unusually simple manner. After listening, Qi Qiao immediately realized that now was not the best time to resolve the family turmoil.
She didn't make a fuss, but obediently nodded gently, and finally tiptoed to give him a light kiss on the cheek as a farewell.
Chapter 708 The Capital is Besieged
Feeling guilty, Yun Chu'an returned a deep kiss, holding her tightly in his arms as if making a silent promise.
Then, he turned and took off, speeding all the way towards the capital of Jin.
Now that his cultivation has improved again, he can travel even faster. He sped down the road and arrived outside the capital of Jin Kingdom in no more than 45 minutes.
Just as I remembered, the royal city remained majestic and imposing, with a funnel-shaped vortex hanging upside down in the sky, continuously drawing in spiritual energy and turning it into spirit stones as reserves for the Jin Kingdom.
Yun Chu'an handed over his documents at the city gate, and the guards respectfully let him through. Afterward, he went to Sheng Linglong's manor and called out softly, but only her maid came out and told him that the princess had been in the palace these days and was not at the manor.
So Yun Chuan turned and left, secretly entering the palace through a side gate. Finally, deep within the palace, he saw the princess, who was wearing a well-fitting, magnificent robe, but whose expression was slightly haggard.
After dismissing the servants, he stepped forward, took her small hand, and asked anxiously, "Linglong, the Duke is..."
Sheng Linglong avoided his eyes, not daring to meet his gaze. She had already heard about the Qin army's invasion of the Wei Lake area and their siege of Huai Mountain. "Are you free, Lin? Are you in?"
However, the father concluded that Yun Chu'an would definitely be able to resolve this matter, so they should just continue their plans in the capital and not interfere.
Therefore, Sheng Linglong remained inactive throughout. But she also knew that doing so would be absolutely unfair to Yun Chu'an.
At this moment, she dared not look him in the eye. And regarding his question, although Yun Chu'an didn't directly confront her, she understood right and wrong, and was now filled with guilt: "Chu'an..."
Yun Chuan frowned almost imperceptibly, but did not make a move. Then, he saw Sheng Linglong purse her lips and say softly, "You...believe me..."
“Father… is still alive, but he couldn’t come to your aid because… he had his reasons for not being able to…”
Yun Chu'an fell silent for a moment. What kind of hardship was more important than the safety of his family?
He wasn't sure, but seeing Sheng Linglong pleading so desperately, completely devoid of her usual radiant self, he decided to believe her for now.
It shouldn't be a problem.
With that thought in mind, he nodded gently: "Okay, Linglong, I believe you."
Sheng Linglong suddenly grabbed his hand. She was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, but Yun Chuan found her small hand to be icy cold: "Chuan, can you stay in the royal city for the next few days?"
"I'm a little worried... things are changing, and I... I need you..."
Her eyes were pleading. Yun Chu'an frowned slightly, looked at her, and asked softly, "What exactly..."
However, Sheng Linglong bit her lip and shook her head slightly.
She couldn't say.
She was afraid. Afraid that things had reached the final stage, that they had already sacrificed so much. What if she let slip even a single word now, and a spy, somewhere unknown, seized upon it, revealing a flaw or inconsistency? Then…
Otherwise, all efforts will be in vain.
Yun Chu'an gazed into her beautiful eyes, without asking any further questions, placing the trust between them at the highest level of their relationship.
Yun Chu'an did not return to Huai Mountain immediately, but instead stayed in the royal city. Afterwards, as he walked among the many princes and ministers, he soon heard some unusual rumors.
The various powerful families in this royal city don't seem to be as honest as they appear...
He remained calm and pretended everything was normal, continuing his daily cultivation as usual, waiting for the change to occur.
As the days passed, the atmosphere in the royal city grew oppressive and gloomy, as if they were enduring a thunderstorm that would never actually rain.
A heavy weight settled on everyone's heart, as if a massive stone were pressing down on it. Everyone waited, awaiting the crucial moment that would determine their very survival and the future of the Jin state.
Yun Chuan didn't have to wait long. On this day, bad news suddenly came from the border: Zhao Cunxiao, the ruler of Zhongshan, and Sun Chengye, the ruler of Youqiong, each led their elite troops and headed straight for the capital of Jin.
The news came like a thunderbolt, but it also brought a sigh of relief to everyone. The terrible news had become a reality, and they no longer needed to worry about the uncertain future.
Whether the State of Jin can survive the siege of two Nascent Soul level rulers depends on this battle.
With the two Nascent Soul experts personally leading their teams, they advanced with unstoppable momentum. Soon, the two sides met in the capital of Jin, and the decisive battle that would determine the life and death of Jin began.
Without much probing, the two rulers, who had come here seeking to destroy the Jin Kingdom, immediately sent their Golden Core cultivators to the front.
In response, the Jin state did not hesitate, and its ministers took turns ascending to the heavens to fight against the enemy.
However, among these ministers...
Inside the palace, Yun Chuan sat there, not in a hurry to make a move. He looked at the ministers fighting in the sky with a playful expression on his face.
It seems like several important figures are missing.
If the State of Jin manages to hold out, aren't these guys afraid of being purged?
