Chapter 17

At the entrance of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Bai Yu 'er was still kneeling on the ground. She had not gotten up for an entire year.

Her red feather robe was covered in dust.

Her once snow-white cheeks had lost all color. She looked pale and weak.

Although Bai Yu 'er was a proud daughter of the heavens and had the protection of the Divine Fire of the Vermilion Bird, kneeling for an entire year without eating or drinking still made her very weak.

For the past year, Jun Xiaoyao had entered the Heavenly Emperor Palace many times, but he had never looked at her in the eye.

As time passed, Bai Yu 'er's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

She felt that Jun Xiaoyao would never forgive her.

This meant that there was no way she could get the Elixir of Immortality from Jun Xiaoyao, let alone save her father.

Due to Jun Linglong's instructions, the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird did not inform Bai Yu 'er that the Emperor of Vermilion Bird had obtained the Elixir of Immortality.

Bai Yu 'er still thought that there was no hope for her anymore.

She felt as if she had sunk into a bottomless ocean. She was about to suffocate, and her crimson eyes were filled with despair.

At that moment, faint footsteps were heard.

Bai Yu 'er looked up instinctively, and her breathing almost stopped.

The figure that she had been thinking about day and night was really walking toward her.

Jun Xiaoyao was dressed in a robe whiter than snow. His skin was glowing with a divine light.

A year had passed. Jun Xiaoyao was nine years old. His body had grown taller, and his facial features looked like they were carved by the heavens. He was starting to look handsome.

His expression was calm as he walked toward Bai Yu 'er.

Jun Linglong followed behind him.

"Greetings, Lord Son Of God!"

Bai Yu 'er's expression was one of surprise and surprise.

After a whole year, this day had finally come.

Jun Xiaoyao sized Bai Yu 'er up. She had lost a lot of weight, but she did look like she was sincerely remorseful.

However, Jun Xiaoyao didn't say anything and just looked at her indifferently.

Seeing this, Bai Yu'er gritted her teeth and kowtowed three times to Jun Xiaoyao, "Lord Son Of God, Yu'er knows her mistake. Please forgive Yu'er this time."

Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently, "It's good that you know your mistake. Get up. After all, I'm not a demon."

Jun Linglong grumbled to herself after hearing that.

If you're not a demon, why did you make him kneel there for a whole year?

He had even taken out the Elixir of Immortality and kept it from Bai Yu 'er, forcing her to continue kneeling.

What an old demon.

"Thank you, Lord Son Of God." Bai Yu'er struggled to get to her feet. Her legs were numb, and she swayed weakly.

Upon seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao flicked his finger and a top-grade Saint Pill fell into Bai Yu 'er's hand.

Bai Yu'er felt even more flattered.

A top-grade Saint Pill could fetch a sky-high price in the outside world, but Jun Xiaoyao gave it to her so casually.

For a moment, Bai Yu'er did not feel any resentment toward Jun Xiaoyao. Instead, she felt grateful.

She took the Saint Pill and began to recover her strength.

Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled into a sneer.

He was very familiar with the trick of giving a candy with a whip.

The Saint Pill's effect was amazing, and Bai Yu'er's weakness was quickly swept away.

However, when she thought of the seriously ill Vermillion Bird King, she clenched her fists and found it hard to speak.

It was a pleasant surprise to be forgiven by Jun Xiaoyao.

How could she ask Jun Xiaoyao to take out the Elixir of Immortality again?

Thinking of this, Bai Yu'er took a deep breath and bowed to Jun Xiaoyao. "Thank you, Lord Son Of God, for your forgiveness. Yu'er will take her leave now."

Bai Yu'er sighed in her heart. In the end, she failed to bring back the Elixir of Immortality.

At that moment, Jun Linglong chuckled and said, "Bai Yu'er, don't you want the Elixir of Immortality anymore?"

Bai Yu'er smiled bitterly when she heard that. "I'm lucky enough to be forgiven by Lord Son Of God. I wouldn't dare ask for more."

"Then why don't you contact the Ancient Kingdom of Vermillion Bird?" Jun Linglong's eyes sparkled as she asked.

Bai Yu'er was slightly stunned. She then took out a jade scroll and sent a message.

The Ancient Kingdom of Vermillion Bird sent a message as well.

"The Jun family sent us the Elixir of Immortality some time ago. It's all a gift from Lord Son Of God."

"Not only has the king recovered from his injuries, but he's also training in seclusion to break through to a higher level."

"It's all a gift from Lord Son Of God!"

The news made Bai Yu'er's mind go blank in an instant.

She was so excited that her face turned red. She was in disbelief.

"Lord Son Of God, it's you …"

Bai Yu'er's eyes were burning with excitement as she looked at Jun Xiaoyao. Her voice was choked with sobs.

"This Son Of God told me that I'm not some devil." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

At that moment, Jun Xiaoyao's silhouette was deeply engraved in Bai Yu'er's heart.

She seemed to have taken the shape of Jun Xiaoyao from the inside out.

Jun Xiaoyao's imprint was so deeply engraved in her heart that it would be difficult to erase it for the rest of her life.

She felt as if she was a person who had fallen into deep despair, and all her hopes were suddenly realized.

That hope was brought to her by Jun Xiaoyao.

"Yu'er is willing to serve Lord Son Of God for the rest of my life. I'll be your slave or servant. I dare not disobey you. May I be struck by lightning if I violate this oath!"

Bai Yu'er knelt before Jun Xiaoyao and said resolutely.

If she had been begging for forgiveness before, then she was now sincerely pledging allegiance to Jun Xiaoyao.

At that moment, a voice filled with anger was heard from outside the gates of the Jun residence.

"Where is the Son Of God of the Jun family? What's the point of bullying a weak woman? Fight me if you have the guts!"

That voice was like a thunderclap that shook the world.

Many members of the Jun family were alerted.

A guard of the Jun family walked up to Jun Xiaoyao and reported.

"Son Of God, there is a young man outside the gate who is being presumptuous. He should be someone from the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon."

"Heh … It seems that this fiancé of yours still doesn't know his place …" Jun Xiaoyao sneered in his mind.

He said faintly, "Let him in. I'll take care of this."

"Yes, sir." The guard excused himself.

Bai Yu'er, who was still kneeling on the ground, looked rather pale.

Jun Xiaoyao had just forgiven her, and now her fiancé had come to provoke her.

Wasn't this just ruining things for her?

At that moment, Bai Yu'er actually felt a little resentful toward her fiancé, Xiao Chen.

"Lord Son Of God, I …" Bai Yu'er panicked and tried to explain herself.

"It's fine." Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand.

A moment later, a handsome young man wearing a long robe with an azure dragon on it arrived.

When he saw Bai Yu'er, who was kneeling before Jun Xiaoyao, his eyes immediately widened, and a murderous aura emanated from him.

No man would be able to accept his fiancé kneeling before another man of the opposite sex.

"Yu'er, get up. How dare this man push you like this!" Xiao Chen shouted angrily.

"Xiao Chen, shut up. How dare you disrespect Lord Son Of God!" Bai Yu'er immediately reprimanded him.

Xiao Chen was stunned and looked at Bai Yu'er in disbelief.

"Yu'er, I'm here to save you. Why are you speaking up for him?" Xiao Chen was puzzled.

"Enough. I knelt of my own accord. I'm more than happy that Lord Son Of God is willing to forgive me. What are you doing here?" Bai Yu'er said coldly.

At first, she had a good impression of Xiao Chen, her childhood sweetheart.

However, the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon went back on their word and refused to give the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix the Elixir of Immortality.

She had asked Xiao Chen for help before, and Xiao Chen had promised to give it to her. However, there was still no sign of the Elixir of Immortality.

If it had not been for Jun Xiaoyao giving her the Elixir of Immortality, her father would have been seriously ill and dying.

Between Jun Xiaoyao and Xiao Chen, who was Bai Yu'er indebted to?

"Yu'er, why would you think that? Did he force you to do this?"
