Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 862 - 14: Qilin Bloodline

"Are you referring to that woman surnamed Yun? Hmph, she is not worthy of Ye Beiming. You are the Emperor of Great Zhou, can you not control a mere Prince? Just issue an edict to annul their marriage," Hei Linlin ordered imperiously, oblivious to the displeased expression of Emperor Ye of Great Zhou.

In Hei Linlin’s view, the noble Black Qilin King Bloodline should not be tainted by a lowly human female Mage.

Only she was the most suitable wife for Ye Beiming.

Ye Chengtian was in agony, thinking that this Holy Daughter of the Hei Qilin Clan was truly ignorant of others’ needs. Ye Beiming was known to be as stubborn and unyielding as a rock in a latrine.

And just who was Yun Sheng?

In just a few short years, she had risen from an orphan on the streets to the owner of the continent’s top medical hall, Little Ci’en Hall, and the Deputy Captain of the Sky Hunting Corps, earning even the deference of the Great Zhou Imperial City.

"Ye Chengtian, or are you planning to let everyone in Great Zhou know that their Emperor is someone who trades his wife for glory?" Hei Linlin threatened.

"Rest assured, Holy Daughter, I will summon Beiming into the palace at once. As for the marriage, Chengtian knows what to do," Ye Chengtian dared not offend this fierce woman and could only comply with her demands.

Hei Linlin temporarily resided in the Imperial Palace of Great Zhou.

"Holy Daughter, if you make such a rash decision, the clan leader might be displeased. He originally intended for you to marry Prince Dugu," said Elder Mo Qing of the Hei Qilin Tribe with a worried expression.

The matter Hei Linlin told Ye Chengtian was only part of the truth.

The Hei Yao Clan Leader’s purpose in sending Hei Linlin to the Wuji Continent was indeed to find his offspring that had been lost or deliberately left on the continent years ago.

And Ye Beiming was not the only heir.

In fact, with Hei Yao’s cunning, he would not have chosen just one woman to spread his lineage.

Ye Chengtian was merely one of his selections; there was also another noble woman from the same martial nation of royal lineage who had a brief affair with him, gaining his bloodline.

Hei Yao acted this way partly due to youthful indulgence and partly to prepare for the future counterattack of the Bahuang Tribe against the Wuji Continent.

These heirs of royal lineage would naturally rise to power, beneficial for the counterattack on the Wuji Continent.

But Hei Yao hadn’t anticipated that one day, he would need these heirs to return to the Bahuang Continent.

After returning to the Bahuang Continent, despite having many heirs, the most talented among them was Hei Linlin.

Although Hei Linlin’s abilities were impressive, her strong-willed and aloof nature made her not the best candidate to inherit the position of clan leader.

It was at this time that the Divine Palace Master at the Beast God Altar prophesied that a peerless strong figure from the Black Qilin Clan would emerge.

The Black Qilin Clan would, under this leader’s guidance, restore the glory of thousands of years past.

And according to the Divine Palace’s findings, this strong figure’s emergence was in the direction of the Wuji Continent.

Only then did Hei Yao recall his heir on the Wuji Continent, determining that one of them must be the destined strong figure leading the Black Qilin Clan to reign supreme once again.

After consulting with the Divine Palace, he decided to find this person and bring him back to the Bahuang Continent, where he would marry Hei Linlin and inherit the position of future Hei Qilin Tribe leader.

Upon learning of this, Hei Linlin insisted on personally selecting, as her husband should be someone of her choosing.

She decided to journey to the Wuji Continent herself to select the most suitable candidate for her husband.

However, without the approval of Hei Yao Clan Leader and the Divine Palace, Hei Linlin selected Ye Beiming as her future husband, a choice that the Kirin Elder did not agree with.

Before arriving in Great Zhou, Hei Linlin had actually visited Hou Qin.

In the past, the other royal noblewoman selected by the Young Clan Chief, Hei Yao, was Empress Qing of Hou Qin.

Great Zhou and Hou Qin were martial nations, and in terms of bloodline, more suitable for the martial arts-prominent Black Qilin Clan than the other three nations.

But unlike the virtuous Li Family, the Empress of Hou Qin had sought out Hei Yao on her own, completely unbeknownst to the Emperor of Hou Qin.

The Emperor of Hou Qin ruled with an iron fist, his harem filled with women like clouds in the sky. Even as an Imperial Concubine, Empress Qing was favored only once a month.

At that time, the Emperor had numerous unnamed heirs but never established an empress. Empress Qing, unable to receive favor and urgently needing a child to secure her position, chanced upon Hei Yao.

Immediately, she was captivated by Hei Yao.

Qing was the epitome of a Hou Qin woman, seductive and full-figured, truly cherishing a passionate affair with Hei Yao, even when Hei Yao later met Li Family, their connection lingered.

Due to Qing, when Dugu Xiu was only three, he learned his true identity from her.

With Hei Yao’s bloodline, Dugu Xiu showed remarkable talent from a young age, standing out among the many princes of Hou Qin.

Qing, too, rose to power alongside her son’s achievements.

When Dugu Xiu turned eight, he received guidance from a Qilin Clan strongman sent by Hei Yao and began learning the various combat skills and cultivation methods of the Qilin Clan.

Whether it was the Kirin Blood Crystal or Dugu Xiu’s extraordinary combat skills, all were personally taught by the Hei Yao Clan Leader.

If it were up to preference, the Hei Yao Clan Leader would rather entrust the clan leader position to Dugu Xiu.

But after meeting her brother, Hei Linlin was unimpressed.

Especially after learning that Dugu Xiu was consorting with a Ba Snake Tribe woman, she felt even more disdain.

Moreover, Dugu Xiu was ambitious, seeking to unify the entire Wuji Continent. He had no desire to go to the Bahuang Continent, which he deemed primitive.

He even told Hei Linlin directly that he would not marry her; the woman he wanted to marry was Yun Sheng.

Upon hearing this news, Hei Linlin initially felt a surge of anger. She never expected that both heirs her father Hei Yao left on the Wuji Continent would inexplicably fall for the same woman.

Just what was so good about Yun Sheng?

In terms of looks and status, how was she any less than Yun Sheng?

However, Hei Linlin quickly reasoned that this was advantageous. If Dugu Xiu wanted Yun Sheng and she wanted Ye Beiming, with their combined strengths, achieving their objectives would be easier.

Of course, this secret agreement was unknown to the Hei Yao Clan Leader and the Kirin Elder.

"Nevertheless, Holy Daughter, you should think twice. I don’t believe Ye Beiming is a kind person," the Kirin Elder recalled Ye Beiming’s skills and had his reservations.

"I’m in love with Ye Beiming. As for Dugu Xiu, hmph, he’s already surrounded by women in the harem. Do you expect me, the Holy Daughter, to share a husband with a bunch of ordinary human women?" Hei Linlin’s eyes narrowed, emphasizing that she, Hei Linlin, would never share Ye Beiming with any woman.

However, it seemed that Dugu Xiu had already returned to Hou Qin with his "Crown Princess Consort."
