Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The Strategy of Feigned Indifference, Wu Mingyue Completely Submits, the Jun Family’s First Sequence Returns!
Wu Mingyue was stunned, completely unable to believe it.
Is this still the Jun Xiaoyao who is like a demon?
Moreover, at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao’s expression was so calm.
Am I really not important at all to Jun Xiaoyao?
If I’m not important, why did he just step in to save me?
Various thoughts rolled around in Wu Mingyue’s mind.
She suddenly felt that maybe she had misunderstood Jun Xiaoyao from the beginning.
He is actually a kind-hearted, upright good person.
Just hidden underneath a cold exterior.
Otherwise, why would Jun Xiaoyao save her?
And why, despite losing the bet, did he still remove the slave mark and grant her freedom?
At this moment, looking at Jun Xiaoyao’s slowly departing back, with a hint of indifference on his face.
Wu Mingyue suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
It turns out she had always misunderstood Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao had also kindly reminded her that Xiao Chen was using her.
Wu Mingyue did not listen, instead thinking Jun Xiaoyao was judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.
Thinking of this, Wu Mingyue could no longer hold back and blurted out: "Master!"
Jun Xiaoyao paused in his steps.
And beside him, Jun Zhangjian’s face showed astonishment, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
The prestigious Eldest Princess of the Panwu Divine Dynasty, whose name echoes throughout the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, would take the initiative to call Master?
This completely overturned Jun Zhangjian’s worldview.
Moreover, this was not coercion; it was Wu Mingyue’s own initiative.
"Hmm? I, the Divine Son, have already given you freedom," Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
Wu Mingyue bit her lip, her face slightly flushed, feeling a bit embarrassed but still spoke: "It was Mingyue who misunderstood Master before; Mingyue is willing to sincerely submit to Master."
After speaking, Wu Mingyue bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.
"My God!" Even Jun Zhangjian couldn’t help but swear.
"You don’t have to do this; I don’t lack a female slave like you." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
"Master, Mingyue is sincerely submitting, not because of the bet." Wu Mingyue’s expression showed a hint of anxiousness.
Her heart felt empty; only Jun Xiaoyao left a mark.
If Jun Xiaoyao abandoned her now, Wu Mingyue would return to an empty state.
She didn’t want that.
"Alright, since you’re willing to follow, let it be. I’ll look for you when I need you." Jun Xiaoyao sighed.
"Yes, Mingyue will be loyal to Master for life, and Master could already be considered..." Wu Mingyue hesitated.
"Considered what?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Nothing." Wu Mingyue slightly shook her head.
She didn’t say that Jun Xiaoyao could already be considered the Prince Consort of the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
"Alright, go back then." Jun Xiaoyao stepped onto the Nine-headed Lion, Wu Mingyue following closely behind.
After thoroughly understanding, the more Wu Mingyue looked at Jun Xiaoyao, the more she felt he resembled an Exiled Immortal, outstandingly handsome, far surpassing Xiao Chen.
"I was really foolish then; why did I despise such a handsome immortal-like master for someone like Xiao Chen?" Wu Mingyue cursed her own stupidity.
However, what she didn’t know was that Jun Xiaoyao, with his back to her, had a gentle curve on his lips.
"The ancient strategy of playing hard to get, how true..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
This move was naturally a little trick he played.
If bound by the bet, Wu Mingyue definitely wouldn’t sincerely submit.
It’s better to step back and directly remove Wu Mingyue’s slave mark, making her grateful.
Though Jun Xiaoyao couldn’t guarantee that Wu Mingyue would continue to wholeheartedly submit to him.
Even if she didn’t submit, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t mind.
Just a pawn, discarded and forgotten.
Behind him, Jun Zhangjian looked on with admiration.
His reverence for Jun Xiaoyao was unending, like the flowing waters of a river.
To train an Eldest Princess of an Immortal Divine Dynasty to be so compliant, only Jun Xiaoyao could do it.
This matter came to a temporary end.
Jun Xiaoyao, using various means, completely drove a rift between Wu Mingyue and Xiao Chen, making Wu Mingyue loyal.
But Jun Xiaoyao did not relax.
He vaguely felt that the storm was just beginning.
"It’s time to return to the Jun Family and properly digest these gains." Jun Xiaoyao muttered.
He decided to return to the Jun Family and retreat for a period.
Jun Xiaoyao had a premonition that this was just the beginning, with various talents set to appear on stage, an era of great contention was about to commence.
Though Jun Xiaoyao’s talent was unrivaled, further aided by a system.
It’s always best to be cautious.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao and his group returned to the Imperial City and then set out with a group of Jun Family members back to the Jun Family.
Wu Mingyue stayed behind in the Panwu Divine Dynasty.
After all, her submission to Jun Xiaoyao was known only to her, Jun Xiaoyao, and Jun Zhangjian.
Xiao Chen never knew that Jun Xiaoyao had used him as leverage to place a slave mark on Wu Mingyue.
If Xiao Chen knew, he might figure out that this was all Jun Xiaoyao’s scheme to drive a wedge between them.
On the return trip, Jun Xiaoyao was also sorting out the upcoming plans.
First, naturally, is to digest the spoils of battle.
Second, if available, visit Holy Spirit Academy to see if he can make his Supreme Bone evolve.
Third, go to the Lower Realm, there might be clues to the Body Scripture, Volume 2, and the Nine Great Celestial Books shouldn’t be forgotten.
In addition, there’s the Bronze Immortal Hall, one of the Seven Great Wonders.
There’s still an opportunity to check in there.
However, the Bronze Immortal Hall is highly dependent on fate, and won’t appear until the time is right.
Even if Jun Xiaoyao has the Bronze Compass, he can’t catch the slightest clue.
After passing several Transmission Arrays, within days, Jun Xiaoyao and the others returned to the Jun Family.
Once back, Jun Xiaoyao began his retreat.
His first task was to review the Holy Body enlightenment left by Emperor Panwu.
Jun Xiaoyao did not rigidly follow Emperor Panwu’s enlightenment but used it as a reference.
Not that Jun Xiaoyao is arrogant, but he feels Emperor Panwu’s talent might not compare to his own.
The reason for reading these insights is only to speed up the awakening of his Sacred Body Phenomenon.
During Jun Xiaoyao’s retreat, his deeds continued to circulate throughout the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.
If his ten-year-old banquet was his first display of talent.
Then suppressing the Venerable Demon Corpse at the Primordial Heaven Secret Treasure made Jun Xiaoyao a household name.
And at the Panwu Divine Dynasty banquet, Jun Xiaoyao casually suppressed four celestial prodigies, completely establishing his position among the younger generation in the Immortal Realm.
Some even said Jun Xiaoyao was the number one among the younger generation in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.
Some people agreed.
But more people disagreed.
Jun Xiaoyao’s power is undeniable, but the Immortal Realm is vast and teeming with hidden talents.
In the current era, many top talents like the Young Emperor of the Wang Family, the reincarnated Sword Demon of the Ye Family, and others have yet to emerge.
Even in the Ancient Imperial Family, many ancient freaks are still dormant.
In the Life Forbidden Area, young supremes remain.
Moreover, there are reincarnated supremes, quasi-emperor reincarnations, and so on.
Jun Xiaoyao’s strength indeed outranks his peers, but claiming he could overwhelm countless talents across the Immortal Realm, many dared not agree.
As the entire Immortal Realm seemed to ripple with undercurrents.
The Jun Family, however, stirred up a commotion.
The first in the Jun Family’s order, the Double Pupil person, returned from an Ancient Forbidden Land!
