Chapter 16

In a bedchamber in the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

The king of Phoenix Country was lying on his bed, surrounded by alchemists and imperial physicians from the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

However, none of them were able to do anything about the king's illness.

The king's illness was caused when he went to a secret realm with the king of Azure Dragon Country to explore several years ago. He was injured by a Nine Demons Snake Demon, an ancient beast that was comparable to a saint.

The venom of the Nine Demons Snake Demon was so potent that even a saint would have a hard time resisting it.

It was even more so for a quasi-saint like the king of Phoenix Country.

"Sigh, what should we do now? The princess went to the Jun family, and not only did she fail to get the Elixir of Immortality, she was humiliated instead."

"What else can we do? We can't just go looking for trouble with the Jun family. Wouldn't that be suicide?"

The alchemists and imperial physicians, as well as the ministers of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, shook their heads and sighed.

The Clan of the Ancients was not something they could afford to mess with.

As such, even when they heard that Bai Yu 'er had been humiliated to the point of kneeling, the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix had no intention of settling the score.

The king of Phoenix Country, who was lying on his bed, coughed even harder when he heard that. His face looked defeated.

However, at that moment, a guard rushed in from outside the door and hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, there is an esteemed guest in the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, requesting an audience with you!"

One of the ministers heard that and immediately flung his sleeve, yelling angrily, "You blind fool! Can't you see the condition of His Majesty's body right now? How dare you disturb His Majesty!"

As soon as the minister finished speaking, a woman's delicate voice was heard from the door of the hall.

"The king of Phoenix Country is not terminally ill yet, is he? If that is the case, why can't he see you?"

"Who is it that has a death wish?!" The minister's face was filled with anger.

"How dare you yell at our young lady? How dare you!"

An elderly figure appeared. With a flick of his sleeves, a majestic Quasi-Sage cultivation erupted from him.

Pfftt!

The minister spat out blood right away and was sent flying.

Everyone from the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix in the hall froze right away. Their legs trembled, and they were extremely terrified.

The aura of a quasi-saint!

Even the most powerful king of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was only a quasi-saint.

Everyone's eyes trembled as they looked.

An old woman in hemp garments walked in with an indifferent look on her face.

Behind him was a beautiful woman in palace attire.

Her long golden hair draped over her shoulders. Her hair was soft and supple, and her snow-white face was sparkling and translucent like jade.

They were Jun Linglong and Grandma Hua.

"She is the noble daughter of the Jun Family …" Some of the ministers were shocked.

Jun Linglong was quite famous in the outside world, so they recognized her at a glance.

As for the official who had scolded them earlier, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with fear as he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

"Ahem … I didn't expect the noble daughter of the Jun Family to come. Is she here to denounce me?"

On the bed, the Vermillion Bird King struggled to get up, his face showing signs of exhaustion.

Not long ago, there was news that Bai Yu'er had offended the Son Of God of the Jun family and was forced to kneel outside the bedchamber.

And now, the Jun Family had arrived.

If they weren't here to condemn him, then what were they here for?

As soon as those words were said, everyone from the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird in the hall clenched their teeth and felt fear in their hearts.

If the Jun Family wanted to wipe out the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, it wouldn't have taken them much effort.

The Vermillion Bird King had accepted his fate, so he remained calm.

"Is the Son Of God the kind of devil who would wipe out entire families at the drop of a hat? You should be thanking the Son Of God for his mercy." Jun Linglong covered her mouth and smiled faintly.

"Huh?" The Vermillion Bird King and the others were all confused.

So the Jun Family wasn't here to condemn him?

Jun Linglong stepped forward and brushed her hand across the void ring.

Suddenly, purple clouds surged and the fragrance of herbs filled the air. A herb that looked like a Qilin appeared before everyone's eyes.

"That is … the Immortality Herb!"

Everyone from the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix stared with their eyes wide open and found it hard to breathe.

The Vermillion Bird King's face was also filled with shock.

Every Immortality Herb that was born would cause a commotion in the Huangtian Mystic Realm.

And now, Jun Linglong was able to take out a Immortality Herb so easily. They were all shocked, as if they were country bumpkins who had just seen a mountain of gold.

Granny Hua saw the reaction of the people from the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, and a look of disdain appeared in her old eyes.

"King of Phoenix, you have two choices now. Submit to Lord Son Of God, and you will get the Immortality Herb."

"If you don't agree, then you are on your own," Jun Linglong said plainly.

She was humble before Jun Xiaoyao.

But now, she had reverted to the temperament of a noble daughter of the Jun Family in front of outsiders.

"This …" The faces of the officials of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix changed.

They understood the meaning behind Jun Linglong's words.

She meant submitting to the Son Of God of the Jun Family, not the Jun Family.

The difference between the two was huge.

Submitting to the Jun Family of the Ancients was not unacceptable to the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.

After all, there were still many top-notch orthodoxies who were vassals of the Jun Family.

But if they were to only submit to Jun Xiaoyao...

That would be rather dishonorable for a top-notch orthodoxy.

"You don't want to? Do you know what an honor it is to be able to submit to Lord Son Of God? "Jun Linglong raised her eyebrows, and her expression turned cold.

The king of Phoenix looked conflicted, but he eventually sighed and said, "I agree. Please thank the Son Of God of the Jun Family for me. I just hope that he will not make things difficult for Yu'er."

At this point, did the king of Phoenix have any other choice?

"Don't worry, Lord Son Of God will only punish Bai Yu'er slightly. He will not do anything to her," Jun Linglong said plainly.

She handed the Immortality Herb of the Qilin to the king of Phoenix.

The Vermillion Bird King took the Elixir of Immortality with trembling hands.

After all, who would want to die if they could live?

Let alone the king of a nation.

"Focus on improving your cultivation. This Immortality Herb will not only heal your injuries, but it will also help you improve. You will be more useful to Lord Son Of God then," Jun Linglong warned.

Hearing Jun Linglong's words, all the ministers were speechless.

Wasn't it obvious that he was treating the Vermillion Bird Nation's ruler like a tool?

"I understand." The king of Phoenix nodded. He did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, his eyes were filled with excitement.

Above the Demi-Saint were the Saints.

With the Immortality Herb of the Qilin, he might be able to break through to the Saint Stage.

"Remember, this is a favor bestowed upon you by Lord Son Of God. If you dare to have any thoughts of betrayal …" Jun Linglong's tone was extremely cold.

She was still using the carrot and stick method to perfection.

"Of course. From now on, Lord Son Of God is the true master of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix," the king of Phoenix said respectfully.

Offending the Son Of God of the Jun Family was tantamount to offending the Jun Family.

Although the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was a top-notch force, it was just a slightly bigger ant in front of the Jun Family.

"Good that you understand." Jun Linglong and Granny Hua turned around and left.

The Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was considered to have completely submitted to Jun Xiaoyao, becoming his vassal force.

Jun Xiaoyao would be able to have better control over the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix after Bai Yu'er was properly trained.

Several months passed. Jun Xiaoyao stood up in the Heavenly Emperor Palace with a faint smile on his face.

"It's about time. That Bai Yu'er has been kneeling for a year. It's time to train her."

At the same time, a Jiao Dragon chariot took to the air within the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon and headed for the Jun Family.

The person inside the chariot was none other than the eldest prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon, Xiao Chen.

"That move has been mastered. It's time to bring Yu'er back."

"There's also that Son Of God of the Jun Family. If I were to challenge him and defeat him, my name would be known throughout the Huangtian Mystic Realm. The Jun Family would not be so shameless as to make things difficult for a junior like me."

Xiao Chen's lips curled into a confident smile.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Xiao Chen had barged into the Jun Family all by himself, saved the beauty in his arms, and trampled on the Son Of God of the Jun Family, making his name known everywhere.

Weren't all the protagonists in biographies and novels like that?
