"What, thinking of your brother again?"
Seeing Xuanyue staring blankly at him, Jun Xiaoyao's smile slowly faded.
He mistakenly thought that Xuanyue had taken him for her deceased brother again.
He was no one's substitute.
However, to his surprise,
Xuanyue shook her head.
"No, I'm looking at you."
Jun Xiaoyao was stunned.
When did this girl learn to flirt with men?
"It seems you are gradually breaking free from the past," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Xuanyue lowered her brows, remained silent for a moment, then spoke.
"After talking with you earlier, I've also come to understand some things."
"I've always been trapped in a false obsession, searching for someone who might not even exist."
"This is self-deception."
Xuanyue showed a bitter smile.
She knew that the Other Shore Organization and the woman named Hua Lian were likely deceiving her.
But she was willing to be deceived.
For a vague promise of Reincarnation.
"It's good that you understand. Life is often unsatisfactory."
"The best way to remember your brother is to look forward and live well," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
Xuanyue was stunned.
Jun Xiaoyao's words seemed to have a mysterious power.
She had always been bound by memories, never truly free.
And she had never thought about her own life.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao was telling her to look forward, meaning he wanted her to take her life into her own hands.
Xuanyue choked up slightly for a moment.
She hadn't expected Jun Xiaoyao to have such a warm side.
He appeared indifferent on the outside, but his heart seemed to hold a flame, making her feel a long-lost warmth and peace.
Jun Xiaoyao observed the subtle change in Xuanyue's eyes.
This was the effect he wanted.
Xuanyue was to be used by him.
Xuanyue and Su Hongyi would be two sharp blades under his command.
"Alright, I'm here to tell you that I might need to prepare to go to the Other Shore Clan later. I hope you can lead the way and also tell me some clues about the Other Shore Emperor Clan," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Xuanyue nodded upon hearing this.
Even her life was saved by Jun Xiaoyao.
What reason did she have not to help him?
"However, the Blue Other Shore Flower lineage might have a big problem with me now," Xuanyue reminded him.
She was originally supposed to be executed by the Prince of the Other Shore.
But she didn't die; the Prince of the Other Shore did.
One could imagine how much of an issue the Blue Other Shore Flower lineage would have.
"No matter. I'd like to see who has the guts," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
Now, he had an additional identity.
Son-in-law of the Tu Shan Imperial Clan!
Even the Nine-Tailed King of the Tu Shan Imperial Clan had bestowed upon him a red thread of fate.
Adding the Divine Turtle King and the mysterious Immortal he had fabricated with a Godly Evil Thought,
It meant Jun Xiaoyao was backed by three Immortal Kings!
Who would dare provoke him?
"I never thought I could rely on my background to suppress others even in the Other Realm," Jun Xiaoyao found it somewhat peculiar.
In the Immortal Realm, his status was unmatched; his identity as the Jun Family Divine Child intimidated all.
Later, in the Other Realm, Jun Xiaoyao lost the protection of his background and meticulously planned every step.
Yet, he now possessed such a formidable background.
This alone proved that Jun Xiaoyao did not solely rely on the Jun Family.
Even if he were alone, he would still achieve great success.
This was the true anomaly of all ages, an unparalleled Prodigy.
After seeing Xuanyue, Jun Xiaoyao returned to his Cultivation grounds.
Because the entire Other Realm Dragon Vein was monopolized by Jun Xiaoyao and refined into his Inner Universe.
So, for him, anywhere was a blessed land for Cultivation.
"Finally, I can begin to Cultivate the Soul Book."
Jun Xiaoyao took out the Soul Book.
As one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books, the mysteries of the Soul Book were endless.
Chi Hongyu, even with the guidance of Chi Xiao King, could not have comprehended much.
He didn't even have time to display the mysteries of the Soul Book during their contest before Jun Xiaoyao defeated him in a few moves.
"Let me explore its depths."
Jun Xiaoyao opened the Soul Book, his mind sinking into it.
Ancient characters, like primeval stars, rotated, emitting light, mysterious and unfathomable.
Each ancient character seemed to deconstruct the Soul, exploring the mysteries of the Primordial Spirit and spirit.
Jun Xiaoyao highly valued the Soul Book.
Because the Primordial Spirit was the most crucial aspect of Cultivation.
Indeed, if the Primordial Spirit was Cultivated to a certain Realm, it could detach from the Physical Body and roam the vast Universe.
With a single thought, thoughts would be as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, neither born nor destroyed, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither decaying nor breaking.
Of course, that was already an extremely high Soul Realm.
Jun Xiaoyao's current Primordial Spirit Rank was still at the Immeasurable Level.
It was at the stage of quantitative change and had not yet truly reached a qualitative change.
But Jun Xiaoyao believed that with the Soul Book, the transformation of his Primordial Spirit was only a matter of time.
Even the Three Lifetimes Primordial Spirit could be initially Cultivated.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao immersed himself in Cultivation.
Meanwhile, deep within the academy, a Quasi-Immortal was in a good mood.
It was Fufeng King.
Upon learning that Luo Xiangling had gone into seclusion and refused to see Jun Xiaoyao, Fufeng King's mood became incredibly pleasant.
"Youngsters are still too naive. King Luo's feelings are not to be trifled with."
"Since he has married into the Tu Shan Five Beauties, this person will no longer have any possibility of a connection with King Luo," Fufeng King smiled slightly.
Before, Jun Xiaoyao was a thorn in his side.
He simply couldn't understand why Luo Xiangling would take a liking to Jun Xiaoyao.
Where had he lost?
And now, the news of Jun Xiaoyao and the Tu Shan Five Beauties' three-month bridal chamber escapade had spread throughout the entire Other Realm.
Fufeng King believed that Luo Xiangling must have completely given up hope by now.
"Since this child poses no immediate threat, let him be. Moving against him is also a very troublesome matter," Fufeng King murmured to himself.
With Divine Turtle King's protection, he simply couldn't touch Jun Xiaoyao.
At most, he could pull some strings behind the scenes.
The Purple Bamboo Forest was quiet and rarely visited.
Within a serene courtyard, a woman as clear and beautiful as a blooming lotus, peerless in her generation, sat alone in meditation.
Her eyes were like autumn water, her bones like jade, and her azure hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
Her fair, delicate Face was flawless.
Her long eyelashes made her clear eyes sparkle, giving her a gentle, watery, and refined, jade-like feeling.
It was King Luo, Luo Xiangling.
But at this moment, she could not calm her mind.
No matter how she tried to immerse herself in Cultivation,
As soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to see that woman sitting on Jun Xiaoyao's lap, conversing intimately while embracing him.
That's right.
Luo Xiangling had seen it.
Earlier, after dealing with the God Devouring Emperor Child, Jun Xiaoyao went alone to the marriage recruitment assembly.
At that time, Luo Xiangling still harbored a slight resentment.
However, she also believed that Jun Xiaoyao should not be participating in the marriage recruitment.
But then, she heard the news that Jun Xiaoyao had not only become the son-in-law of the Tu Shan Imperial Clan,
But he had married five at once.
At that moment, Luo Xiangling's heart was in turmoil.
But she was King Luo, and she still had her Face to maintain.
So she patiently waited.
Who would have thought that news would come of Jun Xiaoyao and the Tu Shan Five Beauties spending three months in the bridal chamber?
At this, Luo Xiangling could no longer hold back and went directly to the Demon Barbarian Great State.
With her ability as a Quasi-Immortal, she could naturally sense Jun Xiaoyao's whereabouts.
And then, she saw the scene of Kagura sitting on Jun Xiaoyao's lap, hugging his neck and talking intimately.
Luo Xiangling watched from afar, her heart filled with an indescribable feeling.
Afterward, the only thing that brought Luo Xiangling a little comfort was that Jun Xiaoyao did not have any further relationship with that woman.
Instead, he left directly.
Luo Xiangling approached, wanting to clarify things with Jun Xiaoyao.
But due to her Face, she ultimately did not reveal herself and left directly.
"He came back, but he didn't come to find me…"
Luo Xiangling murmured to herself, suddenly feeling a sense of loss.
Although she had spread the news that she was in seclusion,
Jun Xiaoyao should have at least come to check on her.
However, Jun Xiaoyao didn't even come.
This made Luo Xiangling unable to calm her mind.
"Am I being overly sentimental? But, I just feel a little angry."
Luo Xiangling even felt a tiny bit of grievance.
Any woman would probably feel uncomfortable.
Luo Xiangling really found it hard not to sulk.
Actually, if Jun Xiaoyao had just come to explain, even if he had truly consummated the marriage, Luo Xiangling would have accepted it.
Luo Xiangling, who had been single for countless years, was confused about her feelings for the first time.
