“This is… the aura of the King Realm.”
“Someone has broken through to the King Realm!”
Zhao Tian and the other two King Realm elders instantly turned their gazes toward Flowing Cloud Peak.
“Look! It’s coming from Flowing Cloud Peak.”
“Only Peak Master Feng and one disciple are currently on Flowing Cloud Peak.”
“Peak Master Feng must have broken through!”
“Wonderful! Our Supreme Origin Immortal Sect has gained another King Realm powerhouse.”
Many disciples were delighted by the sight.
“Whoosh!”
The next moment, a beautiful woman who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old materialized beside Li Qing as if she had teleported.
The newcomer was none other than Feng Yuheng.
“Wow! Peak Master Feng looks younger!”
“Isn’t that obvious? Her cultivation realm advanced, increasing her lifespan. Naturally, she became younger.”
“Peak Master Feng is so beautiful!”
Cries of amazement rang out from the crowd.
[So she broke through.]
[Your tragic fate has finally changed.]
Li Qing smiled. “Congratulations on breaking through to the King Realm, Senior Sister.”
Feng Yuheng looked at Li Qing with a gentle gaze. “I have Junior Brother to thank for this. If it weren’t for you, I might no longer be alive.”
However, everyone else was utterly confused when they heard those words.
What did Feng Yuheng’s breakthrough to the King Realm have to do with an ordinary disciple?
Moreover, wasn’t she Li Qing’s Master’s Wife? Why was she calling him Junior Brother?
Feng Yuheng turned toward Luo Qiongyan with an imposing expression. “Junior Brother Li belongs to my Flowing Cloud Peak. No one is taking him anywhere.”
[Senior Sister is mighty!]
[Senior Sister is domineering!]
[Senior Sister, protect me!]
Li Qing hurriedly retreated two steps.
‘His fate changed?’
‘He helped her break through to the King Realm?’
‘Li Qing, you really can perceive the secrets of heaven.’
A brilliant light flashed through Luo Qiongyan’s eyes.
She smiled faintly. “You think you can stop me? You’re merely at the 1st stage King Realm. I’m already at the perfected late-stage King Realm.”
Feng Yuheng showed no fear. “Don’t forget that this is the Supreme Origin Immortal Sect.”
“Is that so?” The corners of Luo Qiongyan’s lips curved upward. “There has never been anyone I, Luo Qiongyan, wanted but failed to obtain.”
She then looked at Li Qing with a captivating smile. “Husband, since you refuse to marry me, I’ll have no choice but to take you by force.”
[Not good. This woman is going to use force!]
“Senior Sister…”
“Great Spatial Shift.”
By the time he could see again, he had already appeared beside Luo Qiongyan and was being held tightly in her arms.
Li Qing was speechless.
This position was way too humiliating!
“Luo Qiongyan, how dare you!” Feng Yuheng’s expression changed drastically. “Elders, attack! Take him back!”
However, at that moment, Luo Qiongyan waved her delicate hand.
“Whoosh!”
The nearby dowry gifts instantly appeared in front of Zhao Tian and the other two elders.
Luo Qiongyan smiled radiantly. “Consider these the betrothal gifts for the Supreme Origin Immortal Sect.”
Faced with so many precious treasures, the three elders hesitated.
Luo Qiongyan seized the opportunity. Spiritual light swept around her body, and while holding Li Qing tightly, she transformed into a streak of light and vanished beyond the horizon.
“You three…”
Feng Yuheng trembled with rage.
Zhao Tian spoke without hesitation, “Peak Master Feng, Li Qing is merely an ordinary disciple. We might as well let Luo Qiongyan have him.”
“An ordinary disciple?” Feng Yuheng stared coldly at Zhao Tian. “Li Qing is only in his early twenties, yet he is already an early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. His cultivation is on the same level as our sect’s Saintess, and you’re telling me he’s an ordinary disciple?”
“What?”
“Li Qing is an early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?”
Everyone froze.
“So someone just came into our sect and kidnapped our Holy Son?”
“Damn it! That shameless woman Luo Qiongyan has gone too far!”
Zhao Tian immediately became so furious that he stomped his feet.
Outstanding disciples were the foundation upon which an immortal sect’s inheritance depended. Moreover, an early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in his early twenties was a supreme genius even when considering the entire Eastern Wilderness.
Yet someone had just kidnapped such a genius right from under their noses.
If the old monsters of the sect learned what had happened, they would probably skin the three elders alive.
Compared to these treasures, Li Qing, who could become a future pillar of the sect, was far more important. Once one possessed sufficient strength, what treasure could they not obtain?
“No wonder that woman Luo Qiongyan was willing to pay such an outrageous price. It turns out she came here to steal one of the supporting pillars of our sect!”
“We will not let this matter end here.”
“Come on. We need to report this to the Ancestors.”
Zhao Tian collected the treasures in front of him and then headed back into the sect with Feng Yuheng.
Halfway there, they encountered Mu Qiuxue, who had just emerged from seclusion.
When the old monsters of the Supreme Origin Immortal Sect learned that Li Qing was not only an early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator but also possessed a Great Accomplishment Great Wilderness Dao Physique, the entire sect went mad.
Zhao Tian and the other two old fellows received a vicious beating.
Afterward, the Ancestors of the Supreme Origin Immortal Sect personally led a mighty group toward Incense Burning Immortal Valley.
They swore to bring Holy Son Li back.
That was right.
Li Qing had been appointed Holy Son.
The old fellows had made the decision just moments ago.
Meanwhile, high above the clouds, Luo Qiongyan was carrying Li Qing toward Incense Burning Immortal Valley.
Li Qing wore a miserable expression. “Elder Luo, can you let go of me? I can fly on my own.”
A grown man like him was being held like a delicate young woman. It was simply too humiliating. Find the original chapter at g.com.
“Husband, your wife isn’t stupid.” Luo Qiongyan smiled. “If I let go of you, won’t you just run away?”
“But I’m almost suffocating.” Li Qing was tightly pressed against a soft mound, leaving him feeling unbearably stifled.
Luo Qiongyan stroked Li Qing’s head. “Does it smell nice?”
“Nice…”
Li Qing fell silent.
‘Why the hell did that come out of my mouth automatically?’
‘Damn it. Can men really never escape the law of saying something smells good?’
“If it smells nice, then breathe in as much as you like.” Luo Qiongyan gently blew into Li Qing’s ear.
Li Qing was speechless.
‘This woman is actually serious.’
His muffled voice came from her embrace. “Elder Luo, to tell you the truth, I don’t like women older than me.”
“That’s fine.” Luo Qiongyan smiled. “Once I break through to the Emperor Realm, I’ll become even younger. By then, we’ll look about the same age.”
[Oh, give me a break.]
[A mere fragment of a soul wants to break through to the Emperor Realm?]
[The Quasi-Step Emperor Realm is the absolute limit of this body.]
Li Qing couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
Luo Qiongyan silently thought, ‘This little bastard really does know everything.’
“What’s wrong with an older woman?” Luo Qiongyan gently lifted Li Qing’s chin. “A wife three years older brings prosperity. A wife three hundred years older will carry you straight into the ranks of immortals.”
“I don’t understand.” Li Qing looked at her in genuine confusion. “What exactly do you see in me? I’m neither a supreme genius nor a Child of Destiny. Why are you pursuing me?”
Luo Qiongyan smiled sweetly and gently pinched his chin. “Because… your elder sister likes you.”
[Do you even believe that yourself?]
[I don’t have any extraordinary treasures on me.]
[Your true body’s destined marriage is with the Child of Destiny, not me.]
[You should go find Gu Beichen. Your destined marriage lies with him, and he’s also the one who will rescue your true body in the future.]
Li Qing rolled his eyes at her.
‘What?’
‘The person who will rescue my true body is Gu Beichen?’
Luo Qiongyan was inwardly shocked.
Her gaze gradually deepened as she thought, ‘You really do know everything.’
[It’s true that he’ll rescue your true body.]
[It’s also true that Demon Emperor Linglong will eventually die at his hands.]
‘What?’
A cold gleam surfaced in Luo Qiongyan’s eyes.
‘My true body is a mighty Great Emperor Realm powerhouse. How could she possibly die at Gu Beichen’s hands?’
After a moment, realization dawned on her.
‘As expected. After going around in circles, my destined marriage ultimately lies with you.’
‘You should stop thinking about escaping from my grasp.’
