Thankfully, only Jun Xiaoyao was here.
Only he saw Oriental Aoyue when she smiled.
This woman, as cold as frost, was damnably sweet when she smiled!
Enough to charm countless men, willing to prostrate themselves before her beautiful smile!
…
Jun Xiaoyao left.
Oriental Aoyue's situation was temporarily stable.
Later, there would definitely be opportunities to cooperate with her.
He hadn't lied to Oriental Aoyue about the Demon Monarch Origin.
After all, this Origin was indeed just so-so to him.
However, this reminded Jun Xiaoyao that the Big Shot he had reeled in through Floating Tu Yan should also be investigated.
Just then, Jun Xiaoyao stopped.
"Come out."
A woman wearing a fitted black armor and possessing an exquisitely graceful figure appeared.
It was the black-armored woman by Oriental Aoyue's side, named Xiao.
"What is it?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
He sensed that the black-armored woman before him was a Quasi-Emperor.
Moreover, her aura was dark and profound, suggesting she was a Quasi-Emperor skilled in the Dao of killing.
It reminded him of the King of Assassins from the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
A Quasi-Emperor's Realm was already very high.
But Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged.
After the comprehensive improvements in the Cosmic Embryo,
Even facing a Quasi-Emperor, Jun Xiaoyao would not feel any pressure.
"I can feel that Young Miss has a special emotion towards you," Xiao said.
"So what?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"I hope you don't hurt Young Miss's heart," Xiao said.
"Oriental Aoyue is fortunate to have such a loyal attendant like you," Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
Quasi-Emperors generally valued their status and would not easily become someone else's attendant.
Xiao's loyalty to Oriental Aoyue clearly had a story behind it.
Xiao was silent for a moment, then said, "I watched her grow up and previously followed her mother."
"Young Miss is actually a very heartbreaking child, but she is good at hiding herself with a cold personality," Xiao sighed.
"Why is that?" Jun Xiaoyao retorted.
"Her mother died when she was young…"
"Hmm?"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered darkly.
Could this be Oriental Aoyue's knot in her heart?
He recalled earlier, Eastern Qingwu's questioning, saying that Oriental Aoyue had taken everything from her.
Oriental Aoyue, however, said that no one could give her what she wanted.
Presumably, she was referring to her mother.
"Then Miss Aoyue's mother was…" Jun Xiaoyao paused slightly.
Xiao shook her head, saying nothing more.
"This is a taboo. If you want to know, let Young Miss tell you herself."
"In short, I hope you don't make Young Miss sad; she has already been hurt once."
"If she gets hurt again, the consequences…"
Xiao couldn't imagine.
Her mother's passing had turned Oriental Aoyue into her current extremely radical and cold personality.
If Jun Xiaoyao hurt her again,
Then Oriental Aoyue would definitely be completely corrupted.
Transforming into a peerless female Devil Head.
She didn't want to see that happen.
"I know," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Xiao nodded and also left.
Jun Xiaoyao fell into thought.
"It seems Oriental Aoyue's mother's death is debatable; there might be some hidden secret, not a natural death."
"So, Oriental Aoyue wants to become stronger and control more influence and power because…"
"Revenge?"
"But who is the target of her revenge?"
Jun Xiaoyao felt that the matter was a bit troublesome.
He wouldn't harm Oriental Aoyue.
But Oriental Aoyue would ultimately return to Jiang Shengyi.
If she knew that Jun Xiaoyao's purpose in getting close to her was this, he wondered what her reaction would be.
"Sigh, what a headache. Oh well, let's worry about future matters later."
Jun Xiaoyao had a bit of a headache.
It was better to deal with the current matters first.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao…"
A soft voice came.
Jun Xiaoyao looked over; the speaker was a tall, beautiful woman.
"So it's Miss Li."
A dark glint flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, but he smiled faintly on the surface.
What was meant to come, had come.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao actually recognizes this humble woman; Youwei is truly flattered."
Li Youwei showed a proper smile.
"The seven daughters of the Li clan have quite a reputation in the Boundary Sea, so this Young Lord has naturally heard of them," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Young Lord is now the Big Shot who commands the winds and clouds in the Boundary Sea. We, the younger generation, are nothing before Young Lord," Li Youwei laughed.
"Alright, Miss Li, is there anything you need?"
"This…" Li Youwei hesitated in her heart.
"Follow me."
Jun Xiaoyao and Li Youwei came to a hall.
"Speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"It's about my younger brother, Li Wushuang…"
Li Youwei then recounted some things about Li Wushuang.
The more Jun Xiaoyao listened, the more familiar it felt.
A petrified body, and seven excellent older sisters.
Yet this seemingly useless younger brother, who was disliked in the Imperial Clan, turned out to be the Fighting Heaven War Emperor returned, whose single command could stir the entire Boundary Sea.
It was indeed a familiar taste.
Not to mention that Jun Xiaoyao had left a wisp of his Soul imprint in the Three Teachings Origin.
Even without it, based solely on Li Youwei's description, Jun Xiaoyao could conclude that Li Wushuang was the so-called Reincarnation of the Fighting Heaven War Emperor.
However, what slightly surprised Jun Xiaoyao was that,
According to some records left in Jixia Academy,
Wasn't the Fighting Heaven War Emperor an extremely arrogant and fierce individual?
With the return of the Three Teachings Origin, it stood to reason that Li Wushuang should have risen powerfully, slapping the faces of those who looked down on him.
Why was there still no movement?
"Could it be that he knows he was too arrogant in his previous life, so he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes and has started to lie low?"
Jun Xiaoyao mused inwardly.
And then stage a performance of playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Moreover, Li Wushuang should already know that his Legacy holder, Chu Feifan, died by his hand.
Since he knew, yet still dared to come to him directly.
It seemed he had his eyes on him.
"If there's anything on me that could attract this Fighting Heaven War Emperor,"
"It's only the Sacred Heart of Magnificence and the Cosmic Embryo."
"These two things should be of great help to him."
"Good heavens, he wants to harvest me?"
Jun Xiaoyao found it somewhat amusing in his heart.
Having harvested leeks for so long, to actually be Backlash by a leek was truly a first.
However, the more this was the case, the more interested Jun Xiaoyao became.
"Young Lord?"
Li Youwei looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao came back to his senses and smiled, "So, Miss Li, you want me to use the Origin power of the Xuanhuang Universe Embryo to help your brother resolve his petrified body?"
"That's right." Li Youwei nodded.
Jun Xiaoyao continued, "Then you should know how rare and precious Origin power is, not to mention that the Xuanhuang Universe is a Multiverse."
"To help your brother resolve his petrified body, I don't know how much Origin power it would consume."
"Youwei understands, and I know this request is a bit excessive and troublesome for Young Lord."
"However, Youwei truly has no other choice. I cannot just watch my younger brother continue like this."
"Moreover, my younger brother and father have always been criticized by other clan branches within the family."
As Li Youwei spoke, she curtsied to Jun Xiaoyao.
Fortunately, Li Wushuang did not follow Li Youwei directly.
Otherwise, seeing his own sister adopt such a humble posture, he would probably be extremely displeased in his heart.
