Chapter 708: Chapter 708: The Supreme Emperor Said It Himself_1

Xu Lai didn’t speak.

Shen Qing continued, "Senior, we’ve really gone the wrong way. This is the direction I was just walking... MMM... MMM... MMM."

"Mmm?"

"MMM MMM."

"MMM MMM MMM!"

"..."

Xu Lai sighed softly. Even sealing Shen Qing’s mouth with Spiritual Energy couldn’t stop her desire to speak.

"That Jade Pendant was brought to you by Xu Yanyang," he said.

With those words, Shen Qing’s beautiful eyes widened in realization.

So that’s how it was. So that’s how it was!

She knew it! How could the Jade Pendant have flown over by itself? Someone must have helped bring it in. Everything was just as she had thought. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Luckily for Xu Lai, he didn’t know what Shen Qing was thinking. Otherwise, he would have suspected his little sister-in-law’s soul had possessed Shen Qing’s body. In terms of being thick-skinned, the two were eerily similar.

Once she confirmed that the Immortal Venerable senior would not harm her, Shen Qing relaxed and stopped talking. Well, it was mainly because she couldn’t. Being silenced and only able to make muffled sounds—MMM MMM MMM—felt strange to her.

Instead, the opportunity to enter the core area of the forbidden zone made Shen Qing a little excited.

She rarely had the chance to go out and play, as she was mostly in secluded Cultivation. Her parents and great ancestor said she could play as much as she wanted once she achieved Foundation Establishment. She cultivated diligently and achieved Perfect Foundation Establishment, only to be told that the Golden Core stage that followed was even more important and had to be stabilized immediately.

She continued to cultivate.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, they said the Nascent Soul was extremely important. After the Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation was particularly important, and then the Divine Bridge was the most important...

For a full two thousand years. Apart from Shen Qing herself, nobody knew how she had spent them, always alone in the sunless, solitary chambers of her secluded Cultivation. So, after a little encouragement from Lei Wanjun, the Saint Heir of the Divine Thunder Pavilion, and with his help, the naive Shen Qing decided to run away from home.

Unfortunately, before she could take the time to tour the Immortal Domain and see how big the world really was, a Venerable from the Divine Thunder Pavilion began to hunt her down. Then she ended up in this damned place.

Life is so hard, Shen Qing lamented inwardly. If there was one fortunate thing about this journey, it was meeting Xu Yanyang.

After all, that Human Race Nascent Soul was weak, but he had indirectly brought her an Immortal Venerable Realm bodyguard. Even the heirs of Holy Lands, Tao Lineages, and ancient families couldn’t have Immortal Venerable-level powerhouses constantly guarding them.

Therefore, Shen Qing began to look around at ease. Unfortunately, her Boundary was too low and her senses weren’t strong. She could only see clearly within one meter of herself and couldn’t make out the scenery at all.

But that wasn’t important. What was important was that she might get to see the legendary Snowflower.

The very thought made Shen Qing even more excited, so much so that she wouldn’t leave even if Xu Lai told her to.

"MMM MMM, MMMMMMMMM?" Shen Qing tried to speak.

"Speak human language," Xu Lai said without turning his head.

"Wasn’t I... ah, I can speak again?" Shen Qing was stunned for a moment before continuing her question. "Senior, what is your name?"

"Xu Lai."

"Uh..."

Shen Qing pondered for a long time but couldn’t recall any Immortal Venerable in the Immortal Domain named Xu Lai. She attributed it to the name being unremarkable.

It lacked any defining features! Just look at Emperor Qingfeng; isn’t that name easy to remember? Or Divine General Taotie; isn’t that name imposing?

Shen Qing switched to chatterbox mode, asking, "Senior, important figures should have an elegant alias. Do you have one?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"Qingfeng, Xu Qingfeng."

"..."

Shen Qing’s expression hardened. "Senior, you must be joking. Ever since Emperor Qingfeng became an emperor, no Cultivator has dared to use the alias Qingfeng."

She carefully looked around and whispered, "Senior, even though you’re an Immortal Venerable, that is greatly disrespectful to The Supreme Emperor."

"So what if it’s disrespectful?" Xu Lai said casually. "He’s not a good person anyway."

"I won’t allow you to insult my idol!" Shen Qing’s eyes widened.

"Oh?" Xu Lai asked with a strange expression. "What’s so good about him that you admire him so much?"

"He’s a great romantic!"

"?"

A question mark slowly formed on Xu Lai’s forehead.

"The Supreme Emperor has many beloved companions: Fairy Qing Yuan, the Twelve-winged Archangel Anna, Lady Qingqiu from our Southern Immortal Domain..."

Shen Qing rattled off over a hundred names as if counting family treasures. She even recounted the love-hate relationship each individual had with The Supreme Emperor, her eyes growing brighter with each story.

"Alright, that’s enough!" Xu Lai interrupted, his face dark. "Where did you hear all these false rumors? The people involved don’t even know about them."

"With Qing Yuan’s indifferent, placid nature, it’s impossible for her to be crying her eyes out, calling ’Brother Qingfeng, don’t leave.’ Anna, on the other hand, does that sort of thing all the time."

"That princess from the Dragon Race does like to play chess, but she’s terrible at it. It’s true she enjoys wandering mountains and waters, though."

"And as for that demon from Qingqiu..."

Just as Xu Lai was about to correct her point by point, Shen Qing rolled her eyes. "You’re not one of the people involved, yet you speak as if it’s the truth. Besides, how could the biography of The Supreme Emperor written by Fengyue Pavilion be false?"

"And stop referring to ’Qing Yuan’ and ’Anna’ so casually," Shen Qing corrected. "They are Quasi-Emperors and Domain Masters. We of the younger generation should speak more respectfully."

Hmm. Fengyue Pavilion. I’ll remember that name.

Xu Lai sneered, "The Supreme Emperor is such a philanderer. What’s there to admire about him?"

"The Supreme Emperor isn’t a philanderer! His heart just shattered into countless pieces, and each piece fell in love with a different person."

"...Is that also written in The Supreme Emperor’s biography?"

"Yes, The Supreme Emperor said it himself," replied Shen Qing, her eyes sparkling. "I bought thirty volumes, each with his signature and Domain Master Qing Yuan’s signature. Which one would you like to read?"

Now, Xu Lai finally understood why his reputation was so bad. It was all thanks to that damned Fengyue Pavilion.

"Don’t be discouraged," Shen Qing said encouragingly. "Senior, you’re in the Immortal Venerable Realm, so becoming a Quasi-Emperor in the future is a definite possibility. MMM... MMM? MMM MMM!"

The young woman waved her fists in protest, having been silenced once again.

"Shut up," Xu Lai said calmly, looking ahead. "Someone’s coming."

WHOOSH!

Shen Qing instantly hid behind Xu Lai. Her speed in that moment definitely surpassed the Divine Bridge Realm, bordering on the extreme velocity of the Venerable Realm.

HUFF...

With a heavy breath, a particularly gigantic figure appeared before Xu Lai.

Shen Qing focused her eyes on the figure. It was several meters tall and, although its form was humanoid, a radiant white horn adorned its head.

He was Bai Tang, the chieftain of the White Rhino Tribe, a mighty being at the pinnacle of the Immortal Venerable Realm. During the grand celebration for the Shen Family ancestor’s 100,000th birthday, Shen Qing had once glimpsed Bai Tang from a distance. His fame was renowned throughout the Southern Immortal Domain.

After all, the sheer physical might of the White Rhino Tribe ranked among the top of the Demon Race, and their killing power was terrifying.

"Human Race?" Bai Tang’s thick eyebrows furrowed deeply. "How did you get this information, and how did you find this place?"

Xu Lai did not answer directly, instead responding calmly, "What do you think?"

"Who has such a loose tongue!" Bai Tang bellowed, and his roar shockingly dispersed the Demonic Wind for hundreds of meters around him.

Xu Lai laughed.

Is he asking the other hidden Immortal Venerables? No, he’s clearly trying to intimidate me.

Bai Tang watched Xu Lai intently, waiting for a response. After a full three breaths, there was still no action or word from him.

But at some point, unbeknownst to anyone, the Demonic Wind for thousands of miles around had vanished without a trace.
