However, even in such a situation, Fairy Yao's first thought was of Oriental Aoyue.
She felt she had wronged her and caused her to hate her.
Fairy Yao, however, did not realize that she herself was living a very tiring life.
Jun Xiaoyao also sighed inwardly.
Fairy Yao, it's no wonder she's one of Jiang Shengyi's four souls.
Like Jiang Shengyi, she understood sacrifice and dedication too well.
She cared about others' feelings but didn't know what kind of suffering she was enduring.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao gently hugged Fairy Yao tighter.
Noticing this action, Fairy Yao's face flushed slightly with a rosy glow before she even realized it.
But she did not resist, nor did she struggle free.
She only felt an unprecedented sense of peace deep in her heart.
This was the sense of security Jun Xiaoyao could make all women feel.
After Fairy Yao's emotions had calmed down a bit, Jun Xiaoyao finally said, "Fairy Yao, I think…"
Before he could finish, he heard Fairy Yao say in a faint, low voice, "Just call me Immortal Yao. Can I also call you Xiao Yao directly?"
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly and said, "Alright."
"I think, Immortal Yao, if you return to Heavenly Emperor Pavilion later, you don't necessarily have to make a clean break with Saint Li."
"After all, you don't know what Saint Li's true attitude towards you is."
"Is it truly a bit of father-daughter affection, or…?"
Jun Xiaoyao didn't speak too bluntly.
After all, it was still unlikely for Fairy Yao to completely change her perception of Saint Li in a short time.
Fairy Yao's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she spoke.
"Perhaps Yin Yurong has some reservations about me… but Father, he…"
Saint Li was indeed strict with her.
But apart from that, there were no other issues in any other aspect.
In fact, when Yin Yurong made things difficult for her and criticized her, Saint Li would even protect her.
Therefore, it was clearly unlikely for Fairy Yao to suddenly regard Saint Li as her mother's killer.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't say anything either.
The person involved is confused, while the bystander sees clearly.
Jun Xiaoyao believed that if Saint Li only regarded Fairy Yao as a tool to be used, then there would eventually be a day when he would tear off his mask and reveal his true colors.
At that time, there would be no need for him or Oriental Aoyue to say anything.
Fairy Yao herself would see Saint Li's true face.
So Jun Xiaoyao was not in a hurry.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
He and Fairy Yao enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
After her emotions had somewhat recovered, Fairy Yao's fairy-like face flushed crimson as if on fire.
She hadn't expected herself to be so bold as to actively lean into Jun Xiaoyao's embrace.
Now, realizing it belatedly, Fairy Yao felt unbearably shy, and her translucent earlobes were burning red.
Seeing Fairy Yao's shy, jade-like face was indeed a beautiful sight, making one's appetite stir.
"I… I still need to go to the Three Emperors Barrier and rendezvous with the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion forces."
"Xiao Yao, then I'll… take my leave first."
Fairy Yao could no longer maintain that serene, maiden-like composure.
"Alright, I should also go to the Three Emperors Barrier later. We'll see each other then," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Mmm."
Fairy Yao responded in a voice as faint as a mosquito's hum, then her skirt fluttered as she departed.
But halfway, she couldn't help but look back.
Jun Xiaoyao, clad in white, stood atop the spiritual Peak, surrounded by swirling clouds, like a banished immortal from the mortal realm.
He had also been watching Fairy Yao and smiled slightly.
Fairy Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She realized that her special feelings for Jun Xiaoyao no longer seemed limited to that so-called dream figure.
What she cared about was the real, true person standing before her.
It's just… thinking of what Saint Li had said, that in the future, she would be destined to be the wife of that Heavenly Emperor Successor, the Heavenly Empress of the Realm Sea.
Fairy Yao's eyes drooped slightly, and her jade-like hands clenched gently.
Did she care about the Heavenly Empress identity?
Here, seeing Fairy Yao's departing back, Jun Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze.
He was not in a hurry.
Fairy Yao would eventually see through Saint Li's true colors.
As for her and Oriental Aoyue's matter, they needed to resolve their own emotional knots.
Jun Xiaoyao could only assist from the side.
"Next, the news should have spread, right? I wonder if there will be any clueless guys coming to provoke me?"
Jun Xiaoyao's tone carried a cold playfulness.
The Ba Clan's invasion, such a major event, obviously couldn't be kept hidden.
And the purpose of the Ba Clan's invasion couldn't continue to be concealed.
By then, all forces in the Realm Sea would know that Yiyi and Di Nv Ba had an inseparable connection.
"I hope there aren't too many fools, otherwise, Xuanhuang Universe will be stained with blood once again," Jun Xiaoyao's eyes darkened.
For the next period of time, Jun Xiaoyao also activated the Cosmic Embryo, beginning to repair the Xuanhuang Universe.
And outside the Xuanhuang Universe, the news completely exploded!
After all, a cataclysmic battle of this Rank simply couldn't have its news suppressed.
Information about this battle, like a torrential storm, swept across the entire Realm Sea in an extremely short period.
Even the Three Emperors Barrier, at the very edge of the Realm Sea, received the news.
The Ba Clan had launched a large-scale invasion of the Xuanhuang Universe.
In addition, the Devouring Race, Doomsday Divine Sect, Demonic Path forces, and others also participated in the war.
What was most shocking was that even the Eastern Imperial Clan, one of the Eight Great Emperor Clans, had betrayed them and sided with the Doomsday Divine Sect.
And the Eastern Imperial Clan's Young Miss, also the Young Clan Leader, Oriental Aoyue, had become the Demon Empress of the Doomsday Divine Sect.
These pieces of news shocked the various forces and Cultivator beings in the Realm Sea greatly.
Everyone's minds were buzzing, finding it hard to believe.
And some powerful figures from Emperor Clans immediately wanted to go to the Female Honor Universe where the Eastern Imperial Clan was located to investigate the situation.
But they found that the Female Honor Universe's entrance had been hidden.
Like the Doomsday Divine Sect's End of Dharma Realm, it had disappeared without a trace.
At this point, everyone no longer had any doubts about this news.
What was even more shocking was that in this great battle, the Xuanhuang Universe side actually won!
And it was a resounding victory.
This greatly shocked all the various forces.
The terrifying power of the Black Calamity Race had long been self-evident.
If they were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't have become a major problem for the Realm Sea.
But in this battle, the Black Calamity Race suffered heavy losses.
What shocked countless people beyond words was that Jun Xiaoyao, having attained Body Tempering Quasi-emperor, Heaven-Defyingly slew the Ba Race Great Emperor!
It could be said that when everyone heard this news, their first reaction was, are you kidding me?
They had heard of fighting above one's Rank, but never of this kind of fighting above one's Rank.
If a Great Emperor could be slain by someone fighting above their Rank, would they still be called a Great Emperor?
Even a Peak Nine Tribulations Quasi-emperor would find it difficult to deal with the most ordinary Great Emperor.
Attaining Dao and not attaining Dao, this was a qualitative difference.
However, Jun Xiaoyao just happened to achieve it.
And afterwards, some more detailed news spread, describing how Jun Xiaoyao had slain Kou Lie the Great Emperor.
At this point, everyone had no choice but to be convinced.
"The Yun Clan Young Master is truly a monster. I think his strength definitely cannot be described as Prohibition-breaking."
"Could it be the legendary God-Prohibition-breaking? Such an existence seems to only be found in the legendary Origin Universe, right?"
"Tsk tsk, Jun Xiaoyao Young Lord's abilities are already beyond what ordinary people can fathom."
"Don't forget, he also subdued the Human Emperor Guard, and even Ancient King Xuanyuan the Great Emperor's Five Tiger Generals appeared."
"Yes, I also heard the news from the Realm Within a Realm. The Yun Clan Young Master is truly a True God. I feel like he is the true Human Emperor Heir."
"Oh right, I also heard a piece of news. The reason why the Ba Clan invaded the Xuanhuang Universe this time is because of a Rakshasa girl beside Jun Xiaoyao Young Lord…"
