Though it had been passed down by her ancestors, no one had ever taken the six-character mantra seriously. Even the Royal Princess had nearly forgotten it. After all, throughout the entire Great Li Empire, even one spirit body appearing every few decades was already considered extremely fortunate.
But today… a divine body had appeared!
The Royal Princess could no longer maintain the royal composure of the imperial family. She cried out in a trembling voice, “A divine body… it’s a divine body!”
“Young Master Qin, you’re not a spirit body—you’re a divine body!”
Overwhelmed by excitement, the Royal Princess’s slender hands, which had never even touched a man before, directly clung to Qin Xiu’s arm.
“Young Master Qin, would you be willing to join our Royal Academy?”
Her voice even carried a hint of coquettishness.
That expression and behavior made Jiang Qianhe’s lips twitch violently.
Was this really the same Royal Princess who always displayed the icy dignity of royalty in public? Where was that cold, untouchable royal bearing?
And those hands—where are you touching!
Jiang Qianhe was filled with regret to the point of gritting his teeth. He had spent all his effort preparing unmatched treasures, but how could he have forgotten to bring a few beautiful female disciples along?
Meanwhile, the Pavilion Master of the Starseizing Pavilion, her moonlit eyes sparkling as if struck by inspiration, suddenly pushed her two personal maidservants forward. At the same time, a rosy flush spread beneath her thin veil, revealing a breathtaking beauty.
“To witness the birth of a divine body in this lifetime is truly Yue Li’s fortune.”
“Young Master Qin, please return to the Starseizing Pavilion with me. As long as you’re willing, everything in the pavilion shall be yours!”
Yue Li was the title of the Pavilion Master. At this moment, her tone was far more enthusiastic than when she had addressed Gao Yang earlier. This was no longer mere gentleness—it was laced with a hint of pleading.
Her stance was as humble as one could imagine.
Because what Qin Xiu had awakened wasn’t just a top-tier spirit body…
It was a divine body that could shake the heavens and earth!
The Great Li Empire had never produced a divine body. Even among the powerful figures present, they had only heard legends about such things.
Before a divine body, missing the chance to recruit Qin Xiu was something she would regret for the rest of her life!
The two stunning maidservants bowed gracefully to Qin Xiu—one with a sweet smile, the other serene and elegant. Beneath their flowing sashes, their graceful curves were irresistibly seductive.
Yue Li secretly resolved that if these two carefully trained maids weren’t enough, she wouldn’t mind lifting her own veil to win his favor.
The sight gave Jiang Qianhe goosebumps. Yue Li? Old hag pretending to be a young lady—disgusting!
You think I don’t know you’re old enough to be Qin Xiu’s mother?
But when he looked at the elderly bunch from the Heavenly Profound Sect standing around him, Jiang Qianhe realized—if he didn’t act now, it would really be too late.
“Not only do we have mountains of spirit herbs and treasures, but our female disciples are each graceful and charming.”
“I guarantee—no, in just two years—you will become the number one among the younger generation in the Great Li Empire!”
As Qin Xiu was surrounded like the moon among stars, Yun Nishang bit her lips. Tears gushed down her face like a dam breaking.
Through her blurred vision, countless memories flashed—years of relying on each other, his furious roars when she was falsely accused, the words he once said: that he would never let anyone bully her again… and that not only would he stay, but he would marry her.
It was true. All of it—truly, actually true…
Her man was not a spirit body. He was the divine body that would resound across the Great Li Empire!
Tears streamed down Yun Nishang’s face, but this time, they weren’t bitter—they were sweet with joy.
Seeing her cry, Qin Xiu immediately became concerned. The Royal Princess noticed this too, and her eyes sparkled.
“So she’s Young Master Qin’s true beloved? Why are you crying, young lady?”
“I understand now. It must be that you were wronged because of that so-called spirit body sister of yours who joined the Heavenly Profound Sect!”
That single sentence nearly made Jiang Qianhe collapse.
Why the hell did you have to mention she joined the Heavenly Profound Sect? Just shut up for once—no one would think you’re mute.
Qin Xiu gently stroked Yun Nishang’s cheek, his eyes soft, but when he looked to the others around him, there was only cold indifference.
He didn’t actually care about the annulled engagement.
But he could not allow Yun Nishang to carry that despicable label of “adultery” any longer.
Awakening a Chaotic Divine Body was one thing, but that didn’t mean he would let the world believe he only broke off the engagement because of it.
Jiang Qianhe noticed this and immediately glared at Gao Wanhua with murderous intent. Just one look made her soul nearly flee her body.
“Speak! How did you frame Young Master Qin?”
“If you dare lie, I will make you wish you were dead!”
Gao Wanhua and her daughter felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Qin Xiu wasn’t a spirit body. He was… a divine body!
She never would’ve imagined that just that very morning she had plotted against Qin Xiu and Yun Nishang, and by nightfall, divine thunder would rain from the heavens—Qin Xiu’s awakening!
Had she known, she would’ve given that drug to Qin Xiu and Yun Xuerong instead. Even if she had to force it, she would’ve brought them together.
As long as the engagement remained, even if Qin Xiu and Yun Xuerong had little affection, he would still marry her out of obligation. Find the original chapter at g.com.
Then she would’ve had the chance to become the mother-in-law of a divine body—someone all of Great Li would envy…
But now, she had destroyed everything with her own hands.
Regret surged over her like a tide, dragging her into an abyss of despair.
Yet in the next second, a bone-piercing chill sobered her up. Her whole body shivered, and she dared not hide anything any longer.
“It—it was my fault. I falsely accused Young Master Qin. I drugged him and Yun Nishang. I had my eyes on the treasures left by his father and chose the worst path…”
“Qin Xiu, Aunt was wrong. Please, for the sake of all these years, spare us. Xuerong has always had feelings for you. Let her be your concubine… no, even a maid is fine.”
Heh.
Qin Xiu sneered. Feelings for him? Did she mean wanting to stab him through the heart with a sword?
Oh yes, those feelings were quite strong.
Jiang Qianhe’s face turned as dark as ink.
“Excellent. You not only deceived me—you used my Heavenly Profound Sect like a weapon?”
With a furious roar, Jiang Qianhe raised his palm high. That one strike could’ve reduced Gao Wanhua to minced flesh on the spot.
Yun Xuerong saw this and immediately threw herself at his feet, clutching his pants and sobbing uncontrollably.
“Sect Master! It’s all my fault. I was blind…”
Just moments ago, she had still clung to hope. Even if Qin Xiu’s spirit body was powerful, her Water Radiance Spirit Body wasn’t weak either.
Even if they needed to win him over, she’d only suffer some punishment at most.
But she had misjudged everything. She had personally shoved this divine body into her younger sister’s bed. Had she known, she’d have given up everything just to stay by Qin Xiu’s side.
Before a divine body, her spirit body was like a frog in a well looking at the moon, a tiny ant gazing at the sky.
Regret flooded her completely. Yun Xuerong sobbed in agony, hugging Qin Xiu’s leg, refusing to let go.
“Qin Xiu, I’m sorry! I know I was wrong—I deserve death. Please, I beg you, forgive me just this once…”
“Nishang… good sister, I know how kind you are. We’re blood sisters, aren’t we?”
“I was wrong, so wrong. Hit me if you want. From now on, you’ll be the first wife, and I’ll be the concubine. I’ll serve both of you. Just give me one more chance…”
