When the three reached the top of the mountain, they encountered an uninvited guest: a beautiful figure standing in front of Bu Yao.
"Cao Xuan!"
Bu Yao clearly recognized the girl in front of her.
"It really is a blessing in disguise. Back then, you gave up the position of Holy Maiden for the sake of the evil bloodline of the human race in your womb. I thought you would spend the rest of your life in regret. I never expected that your daughter would be so promising and would become the princess of the God Kingdom!" Although Cao Xuan's tone was calm, it was not hard to find that she had a kind of arrogant air about her from the bottom of her heart.
"Back then, you couldn't beat me no matter what! Now that I'm not competing anymore, you've become a saintess as you wished, so there's no need for you to still be sarcastic and cynical!" Bu Yao had experienced a lot of the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and she didn't take Cao Xuan seriously.
Cao Xuan sneered, turning her gaze to Jiang Yuan, "This is the demon spirit you picked up five years ago, right? You really have unique tastes, liking such a piece of trash! But he's not bad looking, and he's got the ability to live off your Bu Yao!"
"Shut up!" Bu Yao tried her best to calm herself down, as she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Xiao Xiao.
"Your body is so weak, it's obvious that Bu Yao loves you very much!" Cao Xuan's words were barbed, and her double entendre made Bu Yao clench her fists.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan took Bu Yao's hand and said calmly, "Yao'er, this woman isn't the one you said was inferior to you in every way, is she? This shrewish woman's way of cursing doesn't seem like someone who can compete with you!"
"Useless trash, who are you calling trash!" Cao Xuan raised her hand to slap Jiang Yuan.
With a clang, the sword was drawn, and Bu Yao's soft sword was pointed directly at Cao Xuan's head. "You dare to hit me and see if you, a mere Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator, can really be so arrogant!"
"Bad auntie!"
With a soft "plop," a seven-colored stone hit Cao Xuan's face; it was the Fairy Linglong that Xiao Xiao had thrown out.
"You!" Cao Xuan was furious. Although the stone didn't do much damage, it was extremely insulting. As the holy maiden of Lan Yin Divine Mountain, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
"Holy Maiden Cao Xuan, return!"
Just as the two were about to make their move, a cold, sharp voice rang out.
Unbeknownst to them, a group of important figures had already arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace on the sacred mountain, watching the two sides vying for supremacy.
"Greetings, Lord Tianyi Mountain!" Upon hearing the voice, Cao Xuan's expression changed, and she immediately turned around and bowed to the person who had come.
"Bu Yao, bring Xiao Xiao in!"
The Lord of Tianyi Mountain ignored Cao Xuan, but instead treated Bu Yao and Xiao Xiao with great respect.
There was no way around it; the princess of the Divine Kingdom held a very high position, and Blue Hidden Divine Mountain was not considered one of the top-ranking divine mountains. Even though the Sword Spirit Clan was incredibly powerful back then, they didn't have the strength to back down.
"Let's go!" Bu Yao no longer hid her relationship with Jiang Yuan and openly took his hand as they walked towards the Divine Mountain Heavenly Palace.
"You adulterous couple!"
Cao Xuan watched the two growing increasingly affectionate and couldn't help but curse under her breath. But as soon as she finished cursing, a murderous aura suddenly assaulted her.
"The Profound Truth of Life and Death—The True Soul of the Demonic Path!"
With a whoosh, Cao Xuan's soul trembled. In that instant, she seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as countless dead spirits came to claim her life.
"Don't kill me!" Cao Xuan screamed instinctively, but only realized her loss of composure after she finished shouting.
At that moment, all the killing intent vanished, as if it had only been a momentary lapse of judgment on her part, and as if the killing intent had never occurred.
By the time she realized what was happening, Bu Yao and the other two had already left.
"Don't use your strength recklessly. Don't you know your own physical condition?" Bu Yao said irritably. How could she not know that Jiang Yuan had made the move?
"It's alright. You can't be nice to this kind of woman, or she'll think we're easy to bully!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Are they really easy to bully? On the contrary, their all-around abilities across all three systems are probably unmatched on the entire battlefield. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao's presence, Jiang Yuan would have already sacrificed the Mark of the Dead to kill this reckless woman!
"Mommy, this auntie is so mean! She's not as pretty as you, and she's not as gentle as you. No one will want her in the future!" Little Xiao said innocently, playing with the Fairy Linglong.
"Pfft!" Jiang Yuan burst out laughing. He joked, "Since your mother is so wonderful, do I, the number one backup option, even deserve her?"
“You’re different. The bad auntie just said that you’re pretty and can live off your mother!” Xiao Xiao didn’t understand the hidden meaning in the words; she just thought the bad auntie was right.
"but!"
Xiao Xiao changed the subject and asked curiously, "Why did that mean auntie say that Mommy loves you so much that she made you so weak?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned. How should this be explained?
Bu Yao blushed and didn't know how to explain, but luckily she answered her own question: "It's clearly your own fault for not cultivating and sleeping all day, how can you blame your mother!"
"Let's not talk about that, let's go to the Heavenly Palace first!"
