"Then who is the supreme ruler of the Immortal Realm now?" Sure enough, the Immortal Realm here is different from what I knew.
"I don't know, I've been sleeping in the spirit world for too long..." A moment of confusion crossed his ethereal face, like a lost child who couldn't find his way home.
Bei Yan suddenly felt a pang of heartache and, mimicking Jun Lin's usual manner, stroked Jun Lin's silver hair. "Don't be sad, I'll go back to the Immortal Realm with you later."
A smile curved his thin lips as he cupped the little girl's rosy cheeks in his hands. "Alright, but Madam will need to have some magical powers."
Space travel is not so easy.
"Can I really learn immortal techniques?" Bei Yan was somewhat conflicted. The system kept saying that it was a dragon, but according to the ancient records she had read, dragons belonged to the demon race.
If what the system says is true, then I am a demon. Since ancient times, immortals and demons have been opposed. It seems a bit far-fetched for a demon to learn immortal techniques.
"Yes." Immortals and demons are essentially connected, but those who cultivate their true form will go further.
That's right. Just like how I can learn what my master taught me, Bei Yan stopped hesitating and readily agreed.
“Alright, teach me. Once I’ve learned, we can go back to the Immortal Realm together.”
She reached out and stroked Bei Yan's hair, a faint smile playing on her lips, her voice filled with affection, "So good."
She bit her finger, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke hesitantly, "Well, Junlin, I might very well be a demon."
She felt that it was better to be honest about some things; if you and I kept things from each other, a whole bunch of messy misunderstandings would follow.
"I know."
"How do you know?! Is it because of the blood pact again?" Is the blood pact really that magical?
"Yes." A blood pact of souls, souls linked, sharing life and death.
"Don't you mind? I'm a demon." Junlin is a divine beast, as he just mentioned.
Mythical beasts are gods, residing in the celestial realm, while I am a demon. The only thing that these two worlds have in common is that, since ancient times, immortals and demons have been in opposition.
"What's there to mind? Does Madam mind that I am a god? Then I'll just abolish my divine body."
After saying that, he reached into his forehead, and Bei Yan quickly grabbed Jun Lin's hand, "What do you mean by 'mind'? I'm not an old fogey."
"What does this have to do with Yan'er's master?" He frowned slightly, puzzled.
Bei Yan: "...It's nothing, it's nothing. Didn't you say you were going to teach me immortal techniques? Come, come, while my master and senior brothers aren't here."
The Imperial Palace.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, filled with the sounds of singing and dancing, and young men and women from prominent families chatted happily.
This event was specially organized by the emperor for the sons and daughters of noble families. With the elders not present, everyone was more relaxed and spoke more freely.
"Ah Shu, isn't the princess of the Duke of Jin's mansion a fellow disciple of the Grand Elder? Why didn't I see her at the banquet?"
A young master from a prominent family clinked his wine cup against Shangguan Shu's and asked curiously, his eyes scanning back and forth across the banquet hall.
"My junior sister is injured, quite seriously, and she is recuperating at the academy and hasn't returned yet."
Today, Shangguan Shu wore a blue robe and his hair was tied up with a golden crown, looking dignified and imposing.
"Oh, I see." It's a pity. He belongs to Shujuan Peak. That day, Bei Yan and Shangguan Shu went to Shujuan Peak to help sweep the floor. That pretty figure was deeply imprinted in his heart and he couldn't forget it.
I had hoped to use this banquet to get to know Bei Yan better and leave a good impression, but unfortunately, he didn't come. Sigh...
"Do you need any medicinal herbs? My younger sister is under the Third Elder's tutelage; if needed, I can help."
