Chapter 831 - 828: Immaculate Immortal Lotus

Chapter 831: Chapter 828: Immaculate Immortal Lotus

"You’re quite impressive." Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and spoke earnestly to Dugu Jing.

"You’re quite impressive too." Dugu Jing smiled slightly.

This exchange left the onlookers feeling ambivalent.

What does that mean?

Ji Changtian’s face turned somewhat ugly. Could it be that these two have taken a liking to each other!?

For crying out loud!

Dugu Jing is someone I fancy!

Ji Changtian roared in his heart.

However, on the surface, Ji Changtian dared not show any disrespect.

"Husband..."

Zhou Youwei suddenly placed her delicate hand on Ye Xuan’s waist, slowly turned it, and a hint of menace flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Ye Xuan grimaced, saying, "You fool, I meant her talent is quite impressive..."

Zhou Youwei’s right hand suddenly went stiff and quietly withdrew, giving a light humph without saying anything further.

At the side, Lu Li couldn’t help but roll her eyes, looking like she couldn’t figure out what this young couple was up to.

Qiao Xinyu, however, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Although Zhou Youwei was Ye Emperor’s woman, her actions toward Ye Emperor were somewhat hard for her, as a subordinate, to stomach. However, since Ye Emperor said nothing, she naturally wouldn’t say anything either.

If it were Nangong Bai in charge here, he might have chopped off Zhou Youwei’s hand...

Forget it, I’ll find a time to remind Zhou Youwei later, in case this silly girl makes a mistake at some point.

But, as for Ye Emperor...

Qiao Xinyu glanced at Ye Xuan.

"My true identity should never be spoken of in public."

Ye Xuan’s voice echoed in Qiao Xinyu’s ear.

Qiao Xinyu’s expression trembled as she bowed her head slightly, whispering, "Xinyu solemnly abides by Ye Emperor’s command."

The conversation between the two was known only to them.

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell on Dugu Jing, speaking softly, "Are you interested in joining my ranks?"

Ji Changtian was dumbfounded, glancing between Dugu Jing and Ye Xuan, blurting out, "She’s the princess of the Ancient Demon Country..."

Are you kidding me? The princess of the Ancient Demon Country joining your ranks?

Who do you think you are?

"Give me a reason," Dugu Jing said with a serious expression.

Ji Changtian was stunned, hey, could this be happening for real?

"Why are you here at the Medicine Pavilion?" Ye Xuan countered.

"Naturally, to study the Alchemy Technique," Dugu Jing replied.

"That’s the reason," Ye Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jing displayed a playful smile, "Do you think your Alchemy Technique exceeds that of the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Ji Changtian couldn’t help but say, "Though Young Master Ye’s power is extraordinary, the Medicine Pavilion’s Alchemy Technique is unrivaled across Daozhou Continent, surely Young Master Ye is aware of this."

His implication was clearly that despite Ye Xuan’s formidable strength, compared to the Alchemy Technique of the Medicine Pavilion, he was far away.

Ye Xuan ignored Ji Changtian and instead looked at Dugu Jing, calmly uttering four words: "Immaculate Immortal Lotus."

Ji Changtian was utterly confused.

Qiao Xinyu, the East Desolate Wolf, and Ao Rulong all wore expressions of extreme gravity.

Dugu Jing’s pupils contracted violently, her breathing ceased.

Moments later, Dugu Jing squinted at Ye Xuan, whispering, "I can go with you."

"What!?" Ji Changtian exclaimed in shock.

Qi Jianqing, the Pavilion Master of the Medicine Pavilion, who had just arrived at Little Pearl Mountain, stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

Qi Jianqing coughed lightly twice, appearing beside them.

"Pavilion Master!" Seeing Qi Jianqing’s arrival, Ji Changtian snapped back to reality and hurriedly saluted.

"Uncle Qi," Dugu Jing called out.

Qi Jianqing nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Xuan, bowing his hands slightly, "I am Qi Jianqing, Pavilion Master of the Medicine Pavilion. Greetings, Young Master Ye Xuan."

Ye Xuan glanced at Qi Jianqing, speaking softly, "Where is that old fellow Yang Tianxin?"

Qi Jianqing stared at Ye Xuan with surprise and uncertainty, "Young Master Ye, do you know Master Yang?"

Ye Xuan replied indifferently, "Have him wait for me at the Hundred Herbs Hall, I’ll meet him later."

Qi Jianqing took a deep breath, then bowed his hands, "Yes, Young Master Ye!"

After speaking, Qi Jianqing turned to Ji Changtian, saying, "Come with me and don’t disturb Young Master Ye here."

Though this was their first interaction, Qi Jianqing saw an extraordinary aura in Ye Xuan.

It was as if he was dealing with a masterful strategist.

Especially when Ye Xuan called out Yang Tianxin’s name, Qi Jianqing realized Ye Xuan must be someone remarkable!

Who was Yang Tianxin?

He was a peerless figure from 130,000 years ago, known as the Medicine Venerate throughout the entire Xuanhuang Great World.

The way Ye Xuan referred to him as "the old fellow" carried too much enigmatic meaning.

"Princess, I will take my leave first, be cautious..." Ji Changtian bowed to Dugu Jing, softly reminding her.

"Fellow Daoist, take care," Dugu Jing replied with a serene smile.

Seeing this, Ji Changtian said no more, leaving with Qi Jianqing.

Before leaving Little Pearl Mountain, he glanced at Ye Xuan with a deep sense of dread in his eyes.

This man had never looked him directly in the eye from start to finish.

In all the time he had been a Saint Heir of the Medicine Pavilion, this was the first time he had been treated this way!

And... Dugu Jing was actually flirting with this Ye Xuan!

It infuriated him!

Ji Changtian seethed inwardly.

"That guy seems quite interested in you," Ye Xuan remarked with a half-smile, looking at Dugu Jing.

"The romances of the common world are mostly burdens," Dugu Jing replied with a serene smile.

The moment those words fell.

Zhou Youwei furrowed her brows slightly, stating seriously, "I think that’s not true."

Dugu Jing glanced at Zhou Youwei, showing a slight hint of surprise, and spoke to Ye Xuan, "Are you two truly married?"

Ye Xuan wrapped an arm around Zhou Youwei’s slender waist, ignoring her flushed cheeks, and grinned, "Genuine and unmistakable."

"Tsk, tsk..."

Dugu Jing clicked her tongue in wonder, "Not quite what I expected. Given your imperial presence, a massive harem would be more fitting."

"Beauty is but skin deep; beneath is but bone," Ye Xuan chuckled lightly, "Enough idle talk, you’re one of my people now."

Dugu Jing pondered, "I need to study the Alchemy Technique."

Ye Xuan took out his right hand from his pocket, motioning Dugu Jing to come over.

Dugu Jing took a lotus-like step, moving in an instant to stand before Ye Xuan.

Upon approaching, it became clear that Dugu Jing’s entire being seemed to emanate an innate Immortal Qi, pure and spotless, standing there as if ready to ascend with grace at any moment.

Her skin was flawless, like coagulated fat, perfect in every way!

Ye Xuan’s right hand formed a sword finger, gently touching Dugu Jing’s forehead.

Tick—

Like raindrops hitting the ground.

Creating a slight ripple.

Dugu Jing’s eyes widened, her whole being seemingly dazed.

Ye Xuan withdrew his right hand, wrapping an arm around Zhou Youwei as they turned to leave.

Even long after Ye Xuan’s group had left, Dugu Jing remained in a daze, as if absorbed into some unknown world, absorbing a wealth of essential knowledge.

"Young Master, is she... truly the Immaculate Immortal Lotus?"

On the way, Qiao Xinyu asked intently, unable to resist.

"Hmm..." Ye Xuan gently nodded, "Never expected such an unexpected gain on this trip."
