In the past, power was needed because strength was insufficient.
But things are different now.
Shang Yanting already possessed the qualities to stand out from the crowd, and he didn't need to waste his precious time on unimportant matters. He had always been very clear about what he wanted, and his goals were extremely clear. Once he achieved his objectives, he would immediately let go of what he didn't want.
Even power that has been acquired is no exception.
Really?
Qu Haifeng couldn't believe it; he found it utterly unbelievable.
However, Shang Yanting did not want to talk to them any longer. "My cultivation level is not stable. I need to go and meditate first. I will take my leave now."
He nodded slightly to Karl, then vanished in an instant, returning to Xianlong Peak.
Oh, right, a dragon?!
"Is Dean Yan a dragon?"
"It must have dragon blood. I've heard that many prodigies carry the blood of ancient magical beasts. But to be able to transform into a divine dragon, my god, how concentrated must that bloodline be!"
"This is no longer human, is Dean Yan perhaps a dragon?"
A group of people were whispering and speculating, which drew Qu Haifeng's attention.
Whether it's a dragon or not doesn't matter anymore.
One hundred peak Martial Emperor cultivators are no match for one Martial Saint cultivator.
When a person with dragon blood is weak, the bloodline becomes a burden; when a person with dragon blood is a top expert, the bloodline becomes a medal that earns him praise from the world.
Aunt Haifeng... I'm so jealous!
On the other side
Shang Yanting rushed back so quickly to see Jia Xitong.
When he passed through the Heavenly Tribulation, Xianlong Peak was very quiet.
Why is it quiet?
Because Xianlong Peak is located at the very bottom of the Heavenly Tribulation.
When gods fight, even innocent bystanders suffer.
This tribulation of Shang Yanting was no ordinary tribulation; it involved both the Dragon Clan and the Martial Saint Demon Lord. As he faced the tribulation head-on from above, the damage he inflicted on those below was enough to give the people of Xianlong Peak a hard time.
With the added damage from both demonic and spiritual energy, the people of Xianlong Peak are in dire straits.
If the raccoon is lying down, then everyone else has to lie down too.
Shang Yanting first found Jia Xitong, picked her up to check her over, and then manipulated the puppet to gather the remaining people in Xianlong Peak together one by one.
After feeding them elixirs and regulating their spiritual energy, and then sending them back to recuperate for a few days, they will all be able to live and run around again.
He carefully placed the raccoon on the bed.
Jia Xitong was not only stunned by the heavenly lightning, but she also had a hidden injury left over from the time she eliminated Wan Zhi.
Shang Yanting had fully absorbed all of Wan Zhi's cultivation, which led to his breakthrough and forced upgrade. Now, he was much more adept at dealing with Jia Xitong's injuries than before.
He gently placed his palm over her body, and the remaining demonic energy slowly gathered in his palm from her body.
Jia Xitong felt warm and cozy all over her body as she slept, and the more she slept, the more comfortable she felt. It wasn't until someone covered her mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe, that she was woken from her sleep.
"Hmm..."
Her tongue was sucked hard and bitten painfully.
Breaths mingled at the tip of the nose—this was the aroma of Shangyanting!
"Dear host, um...!"
She was about to speak when her mouth was covered again. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, she knew that. And she missed him so much! Jia Xitong hugged Shang Yanting's neck after their breakup, and then she was lifted high into the air...
The closer Shang Yanting became, the less clothing Jia Xitong wore.
He took off the clothes he had dressed her in, one by one, until she was left with only a pink and white moon-colored blouse. His large hands caressed and roamed over her smooth back, his fingertips hooking the thin, flimsy rope.
Oh no, this is a bit dangerous!
Jia Xitong kept saying no, but then she gave Shang Yanting's alluring abs a couple more hard pats. Shang Yanting hugged her, his nose pressed against her smooth skin, and he took several deep breaths on her neck.
The dark lines on his forehead were even more pronounced, and his head rested on her shoulder. He inhaled her fragrance, his breath hot and heavy.
Seriously, I can't stand it for even a second!
But now is not the time.
Shang Yanting patted her head, his lips lightly touching her earlobe, and then took out a pill and made her open her mouth.
Jia Xitong picked it up from his fingertips, chewed it, and swallowed it. "What is this?"
"You dared to eat it without knowing what it was?" Shang Yanting looked down at her, his gaze tender and affectionate.
"The pills you gave me won't be poisonous."
Jia Xitong replied.
When she met his gaze, she instantly became embarrassed. She reached for the blanket on the bed and covered herself up. "Honey, could you please stop looking at me like that?"
I feel so embarrassed.
Shang Yanting didn't say much, but gently patted her head. "This medicine was made by Li Tuo. It has the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit. I just finished removing the demonic energy from your body. You need to rest more now."
"Uh-huh."
Jia Xitong nodded.
Oh dear, looking at Shang Yanting's face and those unusually red lips still makes me so shy!
After so long without "that," she became incredibly shy.
Jia Xitong thought about turning back into a raccoon, but suddenly found that her body seemed to be out of control.
No way?
For a while, I couldn't turn back into human form, and now I can't turn back into a raccoon?
She tried twice, but it still didn't work.
"Dear host, I think I can't turn into a bear anymore?"
If you have any questions, contact Shang Yanting.
"It's probably a side effect of removing the demonic energy. Don't be afraid, it's normal."
He covered her with the blanket before slowly leaving.
##
Dean Yan Qing, possessing dragon blood, suddenly broke through after being injured, advancing to the Martial Saint realm and transforming into a dragon on the spot. This news spread throughout the entire Dingtian Academy that very day, even the magical beasts in the beast stables heard it at least three times. The next day, everyone at Yimeng Academy, from the dean to the students, knew about it. A few days later, the news spread like wildfire throughout the land.
Martial Saint, Dean of Dingtian Academy, Peerless Genius, Dragon Bloodline...
All these labels were attached to him alone, and Yan Qing's name instantly spread throughout the country, with everyone flocking to Xianlong Peak. The visiting cards sent were almost piled up like a mountain, yet Xianlong Peak remained closed.
"Yes, that's right, still no one is here."
In the main hall, Shang Yanting sat on the high seat and said calmly, "Leave all the previous matters of Xianlong Peak to Qu Haifeng and Gongyangsun. You don't need to worry about them anymore. Your focus now is on cultivation."
"Your Excellency, we have been cultivating diligently all along."
Niu Chuanchuan stepped forward and said that they had not slacked off for a single day.
"No matter what I say, you must do as I say."
Shang Yanting looked at the group of people and said calmly, "Also, bring Liang Ting and Liang Baoyu tomorrow."
After giving these instructions, he left directly, walking hurriedly.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Niu Chuanchuan watched his departing figure, scratching his head in confusion. "It feels like the things that Venerable One has been doing since his breakthrough are baffling."
---Aside---
Goodnight everyone
