Chapter 816: Chapter 814: Jiang Shengyi’s Confession, Tender Moment, Iconic Scene
"There is a new Emperor born in the Exotic Realm..."
Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.
His jet-black hair slightly covered his deep-set eyes.
No one knew what Jun Xiaoyao was thinking at this moment.
However, thinking of Jun Wuhui’s aura disappearing, then the possibility of a new Emperor arising in the Exotic Realm.
Even a fool would realize that these events can’t be entirely unrelated.
"Xiaoyao..."
"Brother Xiaoyao..."
Jiang Luoli and Jiang Shengyi approached, standing on either side of Jun Xiaoyao, their expressions tinged with worry and compassion.
Jun Xiaoyao had never seen his father with his own eyes.
Finally hearing news of Jun Wuhui, and it was such as this.
Anyone in his place would find it hard to accept.
Jiang Shengyi was a bit heartbroken, and Jiang Luoli’s eyes were slightly reddened.
"It’s nothing." Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand slightly, his face expressionless, his eyes deep as the sea beneath the night sky.
"As expected of the Young Master, with such a disposition..." War God Man secretly held a shred of admiration.
Jun Xiaoyao’s demeanor wasn’t due to a lack of concern for Jun Wuhui, but rather his ability to control his mindset and emotions.
Mentality is more crucial than any talent or cultivation.
"Young Master, don’t worry, Ah Jiu believes the master simply has concealed his aura, which doesn’t necessarily mean something has happened." Ah Jiu also stepped forward to console.
"Indeed, Young Master, not to mention the master’s unfathomable strength, even if something truly happened, it would only be to one of the master’s Three Pristine Avatars." War God Man added.
The reason he wasn’t overly worried was that Jun Wuhui in the Exotic Realm was just one of the avatars created by the One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones technique.
Even if something unexpected occurred, it wouldn’t be fatal to Jun Wuhui.
"I understand this; thank you, elder, for relaying the message." Jun Xiaoyao cupped his hands.
"This time, upon returning from the Border Region, my purpose wasn’t solely to convey a message to the Young Master."
"The master once said, should he ever vanish, it would mark the onset of restlessness in the Exotic Realm, followed by great upheaval, heralding the chaos of the great era."
"Therefore, I must return to the Jun Family to report some matters, to prepare them with measures and plans." War God Man stated.
"Mm, then I’ll leave it to you, elder." Jun Xiaoyao solemnly cupped his hands.
If it weren’t for War God Man, he wouldn’t have known this news.
"Then, Young Master, take care. Oh, when the master had leisure time, he would often gaze longingly in one direction."
"That direction is the Imperial State Jun Family."
War God Man gave Jun Xiaoyao a deep bow, then departed directly.
The words left behind caused Jiang Luoli, Jiang Shengyi, and the other women present to feel a tinge of sorrow, their eyes slightly red.
Even heroes have tender emotions.
How could Jun Wuhui not care about his wife and children?
Yet, he had more important matters to attend to.
To not fail the world nor her, how truly difficult it is.
Even the mighty Emperor Wu Zhong couldn’t have it both ways.
Jun Xiaoyao clasped his hands behind his back and walked away alone.
"Xiaoyao..." Jiang Shengyi called out.
"All of you, don’t follow me; let me be alone for a while." Jun Xiaoyao gestured with his hand.
Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli felt a sourness in their hearts.
Ah Jiu sighed softly, "You don’t need to worry too much, I believe in the Young Master."
"Xiaoyao, he’s so tired." Jiang Shengyi’s voice carried a hint of pity.
The world only sees Jun Xiaoyao’s infinite glory, sweeping through the Ancient Road, radiant and dazzling.
Yet they don’t see the solitude and pressure in his heart.
Alone, he contends with Heaven.
And when he tread the Ancient Road alone, he left behind a line.
When I’ve proven the Dao and become Immortal, I dare to call from the old to the new heavens.
The goals Jun Xiaoyao set for himself are exceedingly high.
So high that ordinary Celestial Prides wouldn’t even dare to think about them.
When someone’s heart is prideful and stands at the pinnacle,
what he experiences is not just invincibility but also solitude.
The strong are always lonely.
This is why Jiang Shengyi would give her all to cultivate diligently.
She hopes to become a fire, even slightly warming Jun Xiaoyao’s aloof and cold heart.
For ten whole days,
Jun Xiaoyao stayed in an Ancient Cave.
He neither cultivated nor comprehended the Life Book, nor did he do anything.
He simply emptied his mind, not thinking of anything, doing nothing.
Jun Xiaoyao understands that mindset is more important than anything else.
"Still too weak." Jun Xiaoyao sighed.
If other Celestial Prides heard this, they would surely exclaim.
Jun Xiaoyao, the old Versailles indeed.
If this is still called weak, then what are the other Celestial Prides of this era? Wouldn’t they be ashamed to death?
One should know, Jun Xiaoyao is still very young, only in his twenties.
At this age, with such power, already unprecedented in ancient history.
Now, below the Ultimate Venerable Realm, who can contend with Jun Xiaoyao?
"Xiaoyao, may I come in?"
Outside the Ancient Cave, Jiang Shengyi’s gentle voice came through.
For a full ten days, Jun Xiaoyao remained within the Ancient Cave, and they were a bit worried.
Jiang Luoli was very distressed, not knowing how to comfort him, so Jiang Shengyi came to investigate.
"Sister Shengyi, come in," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jiang Shengyi entered and saw Jun Xiaoyao sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking as calm as a virgin, like a handsome deity.
The imagined depression and loss did not appear on Jun Xiaoyao’s face.
"What, Sister Shengyi thought I was here crying alone?" Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.
Jiang Shengyi sighed in relief.
Being able to joke proved that Jun Xiaoyao was not too affected.
"We are all very worried about you," Jiang Shengyi said.
"It’s nothing, I just occasionally want to stop and rest for a bit, and then I’ll be on my way to the ultimate trial land," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jiang Shengyi’s clear eyes fixedly looked at Jun Xiaoyao for a moment, then suddenly knelt beside him.
"If you need to rest, then lie down." Jiang Shengyi patted her lap with her jade-like hand.
Jun Xiaoyao hesitated slightly, then smiled and didn’t hold back.
He lay down directly, resting his head on Jiang Shengyi’s soft and ample legs.
The sensation was indescribably wonderful.
A divine level woman admired by countless male cultivators on the ancient road, offering a lap pillow at this moment, who could refuse?
Only Jun Xiaoyao could receive such a privilege.
"To be honest, I’m actually a salted fish and don’t want to become a hero like my father."
"What do the common people mean to me? As long as the people around me are peaceful and happy, that’s enough." Jun Xiaoyao said.
Perhaps this thought was very selfish.
But Jun Xiaoyao was indeed such a person.
It was impossible for him to sacrifice for the unrelated masses.
"Xiaoyao, it’s not heroes who create the times, but the times that create heroes."
"In this age of competition, someone is destined to step forward, deciding everything for eternity and suppressing all enemies."
"And that person is you, Xiaoyao, you are destined to be a hero."
Jiang Shengyi’s words were gentle as she reached out her jade hand, stroking Jun Xiaoyao’s handsome cheek, her beautiful eyes filled with complexity.
Not all women hope their beloved is a world-shaking hero.
Because heroes bleed and must sacrifice many things.
And she couldn’t bear that.
"Heh... a hero?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
He inexplicably thought of a famous saying from his previous life.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Perhaps Jun Wuhui had this belief.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left a protective talisman for Jun Xiaoyao saying, "A gentleman establishes his fate, living a life without regret."
"Thank you, Sister Shengyi, I suddenly feel much better." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
Although his mindset wasn’t seriously troubled, talking to Jiang Shengyi made his heart very calm.
Jiang Shengyi just had that ability.
She was like a gentle and approachable older sister, intellectual, mature, and beautiful.
"By the way, I once said before that after walking the ultimate ancient road, I would give you a promise..." Jun Xiaoyao suddenly remembered this.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shengyi extended a jade finger, sealing Jun Xiaoyao’s lips.
"Xiaoyao, don’t say more. I know you have a long road ahead, especially after learning about your father." Jiang Shengyi said, understanding.
After learning about Jun Wuhui, Jun Xiaoyao naturally felt more pressured to cultivate and become stronger.
There was no extra time or energy for romance.
"But..." Jun Xiaoyao wanted to say something but stopped.
"It’s okay, whether it’s ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years, it’s okay."
"As long as in the end, that person is you."
Jiang Shengyi smiled gently, incomparably beautiful.
Her words were straightforward, almost like a confession.
After experiencing so much, Jiang Shengyi also realized her true feelings.
In this life, it could only be Jun Xiaoyao.
Since she had this determination, why care about all the meddling?
Jun Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, then suddenly sat up straight.
Under Jiang Shengyi’s astonished gaze, he kissed her on the lips.
"Xiaoyao, um..."
Jiang Shengyi couldn’t finish her words as her rosy lips were sealed.
Her heart was tumultuous, not expecting Jun Xiaoyao to make such a move.
Everyone knew Jun Xiaoyao’s character was always cool and indifferent, like a moonbeam.
Towards emotions, he was particularly indifferent, without pursuit, going with the flow.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao took the initiative.
This was groundbreaking, a first.
Jiang Shengyi’s beautiful eyes glistened, tears of joy.
She no longer thought about anything, closed her beautiful eyes, lashes slightly trembling, lost in the tenderness.
She slightly parted her lips, her orchid tongue lightly dancing, passionately responding to Jun Xiaoyao.
And in this warm silence.
A clear voice echoed like an oriole emerging from a valley.
"Sister Shengyi, Brother Xiaoyao, someone is outside looking for you..."
Jiang Luoli called out and upon entering the ancient cave, saw the two kissing.
