Chapter 90 Heavenly Spirit Body
The Northern Region, within the Heavenly Sect.
"Your Excellency, Ling Qing has sent a letter."
Jun Yi took the communication jade slip from his hand, scanned it with his divine sense to get a general understanding of Ye Luo's situation, and couldn't help but smile as he instructed, "Have her continue to protect the young master wholeheartedly."
"Yes." Ling Lie bowed and replied, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Excellency, when do you plan to return to Dragon Lord Palace? The Grand Palace Master has sent someone again..."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi frowned slightly. "No rush. There are still many matters to be resolved in the lower realm. I'll have him take my letter back to report later."
"yes."
"Has the location of the City of Ten Thousand Sins been found?"
"We have a lead, but it will take some time to confirm it."
Jun Yi's face instantly darkened. "It's been so long, and you still haven't confirmed it?"
"Your Excellency, please forgive me!"
"Oh! You're in such a bad mood?" At that moment, a handsome man pushed open the door and entered, a nonchalant smile on his face. "Would you like to arrange for a few fairies to calm you down?"
What brings you here?
Jun Yi gestured for Ling Lie to step back, then asked, "What about the matter I asked you to handle?"
"you guess?"
Seeing his cold face and silence, Shuangqiao immediately lost her desire to tease him and plopped down in the chair next to him. "Hey, you're so boring. Anyone who stays with you will probably die of boredom one day!"
"Stop talking nonsense and just say it."
Shuangqiao took out two medicine bottles and placed them on the table. "Here, the pills you requested have been refined. Try them out to see how effective they are."
Jun Yi took out a pill and swallowed it, closing his eyes to feel its effects. After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Not bad."
"Congratulations! I didn't expect you to be so lucky this time; you actually found the medicinal ingredient."
Jun Yi rubbed the medicine bottle with his thumb, a barely perceptible tenderness appearing on his face. "Indeed, quite lucky."
Seeing his expression, Shuangqiao's gossipy nature ignited. "This blood doesn't look like that of a demon beast; it looks more like human blood. Whose is it?"
"You don't need to know."
"Oh? So mysterious." Shuangqiao smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Jun Yi: "By the way, what about the thing I asked you to investigate?"
"You mean that strange constitution?" Shuangqiao touched the glossy fur on his cloak, and said mysteriously, "I went through a lot of trouble and consulted many ancient books, and finally found some scattered records."
"Is there really a record of this type of constitution?"
"Yes, this special physique is called the 'Heavenly Spirit Body' in ancient books. The back of the neck is soft and emits a strange fragrance. Smelling it will arouse people's passion and desire, and will often tempt people to have sex with it."
Jun Yi recalled the events of the past, which indeed matched the descriptions in the ancient books, so he continued to ask, "Is there anything else recorded?"
"Yes, that's the most amazing thing. People with this kind of physique are naturally charming, but their talent for cultivation is truly amazing. Records say that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a Supreme Immortal Lord who had this rare 'Heavenly Spirit Physique'."
"Tens of thousands of years ago? When exactly? What was his name?"
Shuangqiao shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know. I've consulted all the ancient books, but I haven't found any detailed records, and..."
"And what?"
"Look for yourself."
Shuangqiao's joking expression vanished. He took out an old, worn-out book and handed it over, saying, "Moreover, this book, the only one containing relevant information, is actually a tattered copy; it seems someone tore off the rest..."
Jun Yi examined the ancient book in his hands and indeed saw signs of it being torn. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What happened?"
Clearly, someone tried to erase certain information, but what exactly did they want to cover up?
Jun Yi began to have countless guesses in his mind, and he increasingly felt that things were not so simple.
"Has no 'Celestial Spirit Body' appeared in hundreds of years?"
Shuangqiao: "Anyway, I haven't heard of it. Should I send someone to investigate it secretly?"
"good."
Jun Yi remembered that Ye Luo once said that he came from a special clan, so according to that, there should be other clans among them.
Furthermore, the legacy that has awakened within him...
Jun Yi was completely baffled and eventually had to give up. He thought that he would definitely ask Ye Luo for more information after he returned this time.
Seeing Jun Yi lost in thought, Shuang Qiao became even more certain of his guess and asked, "The blood you obtained... could it be from that 'Heavenly Spirit Body'?"
Jun Yi narrowed his golden eyes and nodded. "Don't make this public for now."
"Holy crap, it's true?" Shuangqiao's face was full of excitement. "Can I see him?"
A celestial body! Who wouldn't be curious about that?!
"Get out!"
"Hey, don't be so stingy! She's not your wife in your room, why are you afraid of your brother seeing her?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi's golden eyes flickered slightly. "She is my wife."
"???"
"You're not kidding?"
What do you think?
Shuangqiao's face was full of shock. According to his previous description, it seemed to be a man.
Male daughter-in-law?
But when he thought about it again, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it.
Nowadays, many people's Daoist partners are male cultivators. If they really want to leave behind a bloodline, they can still have offspring through certain secret methods.
Shuangqiao never expected that this abstinent old dragon would one day feel love. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "What is his cultivation level now?"
"Foundation Building Period".
"..."
"Isn't the minimum standard for your family when choosing a wife supposed to be someone at the Void Refinement stage?"
Jun Yi: "It's not absolute..."
Shuangqiao said with a mocking expression, "With his current cultivation level, he can't withstand the dragon's mating season, and are you sure you won't kill him?"
"Or... do you have no intention of having children at all?"
He had heard that because the dragon bloodline was too powerful, it was extremely difficult for them to have offspring.
Children typically begin to frantically absorb the mother's spiritual energy when they are still in the embryonic stage. If they are not careful, they will die from exhaustion of their spiritual energy.
That's why the ancestors of Dragon Palace set this standard for choosing a spouse for their clansmen, in order to avoid the tragedy of two lives lost in one pregnancy.
"I know what I'm doing."
Jun Yi's mind was filled with Ye Luo's smiling face, and a surge of love welled up in his heart. "Having him in this life is enough. I don't care about having children."
"Heh, he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage... I'm afraid I won't see your child for several hundred or even a thousand years!"
Shuangqiao said with a mocking expression, "Why don't you try someone else? So many fairies in the Upper Realm are infatuated with you, and you don't even have a single one you like?"
"I'm not interested because I'm ugly."
Shuangqiao: "..."
"My darling is fragrant, soft, delicate, and wild, and he's also incredibly handsome. They can't even compare to one of his toes."
"???"
Is he even showing off?
Shuangqiao looked at Jun Yi before her, whose usually cold and aloof face was now beaming with joy, as if he didn't recognize her. Shuangqiao grew even more curious about who this "treasure" was.
That kid's got some skills to keep his heart so tightly bound!
Achoo!
Inside the inn, Ye Luo suddenly sneezed and couldn't help but touch the itchy tip of her nose.
"Junior brother, are you alright?" Yu Xian'er asked.
"fine."
Ming Cang looked at him seriously and said, "Tomorrow is a three-person team competition. If you are not feeling well, I will not arrange it for you."
Ye Luo: "...I just sneezed, do you all have to be so nervous?"
"You brat, weren't you afraid you'd show off?!"
"Don't worry, Master, I'm fine."
"In that case, let's have Xiaoling, Xiaofeng, and Xiaoluo compete in tomorrow's three-person team competition."
"No problem!" Yu Qianling exclaimed excitedly, pumping his fist. "Watch me slaughter them!"
Cen Feng: "Today's fight was so enjoyable, I'm definitely going to get a lot more kills tomorrow!"
Ming Cang: "Team matches emphasize teamwork. Don't try to be a hero by yourself, understand?"
Yu Qianling nodded as if he had been instructed, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely follow Junior Brother's instructions throughout the whole process and will absolutely not do anything reckless!"
Cen Feng chimed in, "Yes, yes, I will definitely follow the arrangements tomorrow and will absolutely not make the same mistake as today!"
Mingcang shook his head with a worried look and patted Yelu's shoulder: "You'll have to work harder tomorrow."
"It's not hard work."
Ming Cang nodded with satisfaction, "Alright, you can all go back to your rooms and rest now."
Ye Luo returned to his room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The lingering fragrance on the bedding had dissipated, leaving him feeling empty inside.
He suddenly sat up and said to the empty room, "Ling Qing."
With a whoosh, a black shadow flashed into the room, where Ling Qing knelt respectfully and asked, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Ye Luo sprawled out on the bed, asking, "When is Jun Yi coming back?"
"I do not know."
"Hey, I can't sleep, tell me a bedtime story."
"???"
Ling Qing looked troubled. "Young Master, I don't know how to tell stories."
"Hmm... then tell me about Junyi."
Ling Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Didn't His Majesty tell you?"
Ye Luo felt a little embarrassed. "There are some things I shouldn't ask him."
"ah?"
"Um... has he ever had a Daoist partner before?"
"No, His Excellency has always been focused on cultivation and has no interest in romantic relationships, so he has never had a Daoist partner."
"Not even men?"
"..."
Ling Qing's eye twitched, and she replied, "No."
"Oh, so detached from worldly desires?" How come she seems like a lecherous devil in front of him?
Ling Qing seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Young Master, don't overthink it. You should rest now."
"Oh, okay."
Ye Luo rolled around on the bed for half the night before finally managing to fall asleep.
