The two reminisced.
A moment later, the woman landed quietly on the ground, like a fairy, her long blue dress fluttering slightly.
But such a beautiful face, in front of Cao Tianming, was like a death warrant from the King of Hell. His face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his pupils shrank sharply.
His skin, as white as old tree bark, trembled violently.
Immediately, a deep sense of horror welled up in his eyes.
“Jiang… Jinyu…”
Then, seemingly realizing his slip of the tongue, he quickly corrected himself, saying respectfully, "Miss..."
Jiang Jinyu glanced at Cao Tianming indifferently and said, "I can't accept being called 'Miss' by you, Lord Cao."
A tone that was neither a smile nor a laugh.
Cao Tianming felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to his head, and his whole body was instantly enveloped in cold sweat.
The next moment, he seemed unable to bear it any longer, and knelt down with a thud, his head hitting the hard bluestone slab heavily. "Miss, please forgive me, this old servant... this old servant..."
He could barely catch his breath when he spoke.
The fear was so intense that even speaking became difficult.
His hunched body was slightly bent, and the few remaining white hairs were lonely and forlorn, fluttering and dancing with the trembling of his body.
"Cao Tianming".
Jiang Jinyu called out softly, her tone flat and without any inflection, and her clear eyes showed no ripples.
But to Cao Tianming, it was like a death knell. He coughed violently a few times, his body trembling. After calming down a bit, he stammered, "This old servant...this old servant is here."
"Hey, what are you doing here? You didn't even say anything, I've been looking for you everywhere."
Jiang Jinyu said slowly.
With each word Jiang Jinyu spoke, Cao Tianming's face grew paler.
In the end, you could almost faintly see the slightly reddish veins.
He was so scared he was trembling.
"This old servant deserves to die a thousand deaths, a thousand deaths..."
He kept kowtowing, and even though his head was bleeding, he seemed oblivious to the pain. Each kowtow was heavier than the last, and soon the bluestone slab was covered in bloodstains.
This scene greatly shocked Cao Lun, his mouth so wide it could almost fit an egg.
What exactly is going on?
Who exactly is that woman? How could she make Cao Tianming act so servilely, so lowly, that he was reduced to dust?
Since Cao Tianming broke through to the Saint Realm, he has become arrogant. If he had any humility before, now the Saint Warrior Cao Tianming only has an aura of looking down on the world.
It should be understood that, let alone the small Tian Shu County, even in the capital city of the Desolate Heaven Domain, Saint-level warriors are sought after by various forces.
And yet, a Saint-level martial artist, who is highly sought after even in the vast Great Wilderness City, actually prostrated himself before a woman, adopting the most servile posture.
This shocked him beyond measure, his heart was filled with a turbulent storm that lingered for a long time.
It should be understood that reaching the level of a saint undoubtedly brings pride. Based on this pride alone, even when encountering a saint king, a saint warrior would never adopt such a humble posture.
Who on earth is this person who can make his ancestor, whom he regards as a god, beg for mercy in such a humble manner?
Su Xuan'er was also experiencing turmoil.
She had already experienced Cao Tianming's power firsthand; the mere aura of a saint he released was enough to make it hard for her to breathe.
But it seems that the situation was instantly reversed with the woman's appearance.
And then, something unbelievable happened. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it: a Saint-level warrior was kneeling before a delicate woman without any dignity.
What is happening before my eyes is truly shocking.
In contrast, Zhou Mu's reactions were all indifferent.
This is because the woman's identity is quite extraordinary.
Even with such a heaven-defying artifact as his "golden finger," he would probably have to think twice before touching the power behind Jiang Jinyu.
This is not an exaggeration. Jiang Jinyu comes from the Dragon Clan, the number one divine beast tribe in the Nine Provinces.
As the progenitor of all beasts, the dragon race undoubtedly holds a very special position.
Even the lowest-ranking dragon servants are treated with great respect and treated as superior when they go out into the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if all human forces were united, they might not be able to defeat the dragon race. If any trouble were to break out within the dragon race, the situation in the Nine Provinces would also become turbulent.
When the Dragon Clan is settled, the world will be at peace.
If the dragons coughed, the entire Nine Provinces continent would probably tremble.
Rumor has it that within the Dragon Clan, there are three Great Emperors in charge, and more than a dozen elders at the Quasi-Emperor level.
Of the nine provinces under heaven, the Dragon Clan occupies three.
Even the emperor of the Great Qin Domain, which ranks among the top three powers in the Nine Provinces, could only rise and greet the Dragon Clan Chief with polite formalities; as for equal communication, that was impossible.
Such a powerful force is currently beyond Zhou Mu's reach. In the Dragon Clan, where saints are as numerous as hairs on a cow and saint kings are everywhere, the depth of their foundation far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.
Fortunately, Zhou Mu had lived two lives, so he was able to speak to Jiang Jinyu so calmly. If it were anyone else, they would have been stammering and trembling.
"Tell me yourself, how should this be handled according to the clan rules?" Jiang Jinyu said calmly.
Her gaze fell on Cao Lun, who looked shocked, and her handsome eyebrows furrowed instantly.
She extended her slender, white finger, pointed at Cao Lun, and asked Cao Tianming, "Who is he?"
Cao Tianming was startled and stammered, "Yes... he is this old servant's grandson."
Then he raised his head, looked at Cao Lun, and said urgently, "Boy, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to the young lady."
Cao Lun regained his senses and scrambled over, kneeling down in front of Jiang Jinyu with a thud, and loudly proclaimed, "This humble servant greets Miss."
Jiang Jinyu's expression remained indifferent.
Seeing this, there was little reaction.
At this moment, Zhou Mu walked over and asked, "Jinyu, what do you plan to do?"
Jiang Jinyu smiled and made a funny face, like a mischievous little elf.
"Keep it locked up for now."
"them……"
"Oh dear, if they die, my dad won't let me stay outside anymore. I finally get to come out, so I want to have as much fun as I can before I go back."
Jiang Jinyu revealed a mischievous smile.
It's really tempting.
Zhou Mu, however, dared not play along with this ancestor. If this being suffered even the slightest harm, the Dragon Clan's wrath would be unleashed upon the entire Desolate Heaven Domain. Sending out even a single elder would be a catastrophic disaster for the many creatures of the Desolate Heaven Domain.
