Problem

After over half an hour, the soldiers that Long Aotian brought with him returned. They have now killed every enemy soldier who runs away to escape.

As for the second prince, his body was cut to several pieces and his head was stored inside Long Aotian's space ring. His head will be a wonderful trophy when he returns to the capital.

He wasn't scared of the consequences of killing the prince of an enemy empire. Because he knew he has the power to face them all.

Right now, he was preparing to return to the capital.

"Crown prince, it is our blessing to receive help from you. We will never forget this help" Duan Donghai slowly approach and said solemnly.

"It seems you forget who I am. I am the crown prince of this empire, and it is also part of my duty to help and protect my land and people. So this thanks, there is no need for that as I only did my duty" Long Aotian said

After that, Long Aotian and the people he brought with him return to the capital.

Upon arriving in the capital several hours later, the news of the attack on the border already spread to the people. So when he returned back holding a ling spear with a severed head on top of it. Everyone was praising him for his glorious return and even brought back the enemy head.

The citizens who watch him will only know the next day. That the head on the spear belongs to the second prince of the Falling Star Empire. This news will shake the entire capital as their crown prince personally killed the enemy empire prince. And even brought his head back.

Inside the throne room, Long Aotian was talking in front of his father.

"Do you know that your action this time will bring many problems to the empire" the emperor said with a frown on his face. When he first saw the head that his son brought back. He thought that he had recognized who it is. So when his son mentions that it belongs to Xin Fei, the second prince of the Falling Star Empire. He couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Son knows," Long Aotian answered seriously.

"Then why did you kill him, even behead him!" Long Huang was angry looking at his son who isn't even flinching. Since you know, why did you do it.

"Father emperor, they attack our land and killed our people in the border. It is only right to kill them all. I know what my actions bring to the empire. But isn't this a great chance, if all-out war broke out. We can definitely defeat and conquer the enemy empire completely" Long Aotian then stared at his father's eyes and slowly said, "Also, father emperor, you are slowly changing. You are no longer the emperor of the past. The mighty, glorious, and decisive one who will not hesitate to do what he wants. You are becoming more like an old man slowly waiting for your time to arrive"

"Father, remember you are an emperor. You are the face of the empire and your actions represent its will. If the people knew that you've changed, just like you. They will also change" after speaking, Long Aotian walks away leaving his dumbfounded father staring at him blankly.

When the shadow of his son disappeared, Long Huang ponders, 'Years of constant battle has left me wanting a peaceful life. I no longer had the greed of power and fame of the past. Just like he said, I am just an old man waiting for my death. I guess its now time to leave this throne'

The next day in the Lin family compound, in a large room Ye Xuan was refining pills continuously. After the banquet when he returns with the Lin family. He started to refine pills that could help him in his cultivation. At the same time, he was helping the Lin family.

The pills that he refined would be given to the Lin family in exchange for helping him against the revenge of the Luo family.

Lin Jianhong the current Lin patriarch and father of Lin Xueyi knew Luo Zhongshan's personality. With what happened to his son, he will definitely plan for revenge against Ye Xuan.

At first, he didn't want to agree in helping Ye Xuan because he didn't want to have any problems with the Luo family. Not because he was scared, but because he doesn't want to have a headache. But seeing the benefits that Ye Xuan could give them by refining pills. He had no other choice but to agree.

So even when the Luo family came to them asking him to hand over Ye Xuan. He didn't agree and make them leave with their stomachs filled with hatred.

Huuuu!

Ye Xuan exhales deeply as he wipes the sweat on his forehead feeling the tiredness of his body.

As an immortal in the past, refining pills for him is very easy. However, the situation in the past and present was very different. His cultivation realm is still low and he doesn't have much qi on his body. He can only refine pills for about five hours before resting.

"Finally, I have successfully refined this Pure Spirit Pill" looking at the three white pills in his hands releasing sweet fragrance he said. "One pill for my use, while the other two was for the Lin family. With this, I can increase my strength again"

When Ye Xuan went out of the room, he saw a beautiful figure standing there waiting for him. It was Lin Xueyi who had been helping him all this time.

Seeing Ye Xuan come out, a small smile appeared in Lin Xueyi's cold face and elegantly walks towards him.

Ye Xuan could swear that Lin Xueyi was at the top of the most beautiful woman he had seen even in his past life. When he saw her smile, he felt that his soul was shaken and he have the urge to just pull her into his embrace.

"I've successfully refined the pills" he took a small jade bottle and said. "Inside is two Pure Spirit Pill. One is for you and one for your family. It can help you increase your spirit power which will make your cultivation much faster than before. It can also strengthen your spirit so that you will have higher resistance against illusion techniques"

He handed the jade bottle and his nose slightly move. Ye Xuan could smell the sweet young scent coming from Lin Xueyi's body. He knew this is the natural fragrance of her body which makes him swallow.

Lin Xueyi didn't refuse and take the jade bottle. She then looks at his eyes and a slight shyness appeared on her eyes which makes her face blush. "Ye Xuan, I know that our meeting is short. But I already saw you as a close friend of mine. And right now, you are the only one I can call a friend"

Ye Xuan felt a warm current in his heart and he directly called her by her name unlike before, "Xueyi don't worry, you are also my Ye Xuan's only friend in this world"

When Lin Xueyi heard that Ye Xuan calls her by her name. Her heart trembles and the crimson blush on her face turned even brighter. But when she heard him called her as a friend, she didn't know why but there was a slight disappointment in her heart.

Meanwhile, in the palace, Long Aotian was thinking very hard right now. Because when he claims his reward, it seems that he can't use it for himself.

The soul imprint needed to have a medium to use. For example, a body. To be precise, a female body.

Because what he gets from the system is the soul imprint of Konan from Naruto. One of the members of the Akatsuki Organization!
