In the following days, news of Jun Xiaoyao's return from the Boundary Sea did not spread.
Jun Xiaoyao was also enjoying a brief moment of respite.
Because he knew that many things would happen next.
Jun Xiaoyao was spending time with his relatives, including Jiang Rou and Jun Zhantian.
He was also spending time with Jiang Shengyi and Jiang Luoli.
This was a rare moment of leisure.
And because Jun Xiaoyao had a plan, he had not yet revealed the news of his return.
Therefore, he had not yet met many old acquaintances.
He also hadn't gone to the Jun Imperial Court yet.
Of course, there were still some figures, such as the Immortal Lord of Reincarnation who had sent him to the Boundary Sea.
She had also returned to the Samsara Sea.
In short, not many people knew that Jun Xiaoyao had returned.
But later, one person came to the Jun Family and met with Jun Xiaoyao in secret.
...
Inside the Jun Family, in a quiet pavilion on an immortal mountain.
A stone table, stone chairs.
The fragrance of tea curled in the air.
Jun Xiaoyao sat, looking at the stunningly beautiful young woman opposite him.
Noble, holy, and elegant, she seemed to embody all grace and beauty.
But she did not have the high-and-mighty air of an empress; instead, she possessed a natural, girlish temperament.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Princess Yuan Che, long time no see."
This stunning young woman was, naturally, the princess of the Ancient Immortal Court, Princess Yuan Che.
"I knew that you, Xiaoyao, wouldn't take the initiative to find me, so I took the initiative to find you."
Gazing at the person she hadn't seen for a long time, looking at that handsome figure in white.
Princess Yuan Che's peerless face bloomed with a smile.
"How did you know I returned?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Me? I had already told the higher-ups of the Jun Family that if you returned, no matter the circumstances, they had to notify me immediately."
Princess Yuan Che rested her chin on her jade-like hand, her arms leaning on the stone table, just looking at Jun Xiaoyao like that.
At this moment, she didn't look at all like a princess who ruled over the Ancient Immortal Court.
She looked merely like a young girl gazing at her beloved.
If anyone else had made such a request, the Jun Family naturally would not have paid any attention.
But Princess Yuan Che's status was, after all, what it was.
Coupled with her relationship with Jun Xiaoyao, it was naturally not a problem.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled; she was really waiting for the right moment to catch him.
"It seems I was right; it was you, Xiaoyao, who triggered the eternal emperor ranking earlier."
Feeling Jun Xiaoyao's unfathomable aura, there was a light in Princess Yuan Che's glass-like eyes.
Carrying a sense of admiration.
As expected of her beloved.
"Princess Yuan Che, your aura and cultivation are also extraordinary."
Jun Xiaoyao also sized up Princess Yuan Che.
It was no exaggeration to say that Princess Yuan Che was also a top-tier existence.
She was, herself, the daughter of Emperor Donghua, possessing the Bloodline of a Mythical Emperor.
She also possessed both the Fuxi Sacred Body and the Wahuang Sacred Body, a dual-emperor Physique.
It could be said that Princess Yuan Che's talent, Aptitude, and cultivation were also among the very best in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
She was also the one with the best hope of breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm the fastest.
"Compared to you, Xiaoyao, I am still far behind," Princess Yuan Che sighed.
Although she was very confident in her own cultivation and Aptitude.
But unfortunately, Jun Xiaoyao was a huge freak.
Anyone who compared themselves to him would be eclipsed and lose their luster.
Such a person, as an opponent, was absolutely a nightmarish existence.
But if it was her own man, then it didn't matter.
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Princess Yuan Che's flawless, youthful face: "By the way, I forgot to say thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Princess Yuan Che blinked, her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering.
"For what you contributed during the Dark Turmoil."
"Of course, there is also Ling Yuan and Tiannv Yuan."
Princess Yuan Che, Ling Yuan, and Tiannv Yuan were all entangled with him by Karma.
If one counted from Tiannv Yuan, that was a story that started a long time ago.
However, during the Dark Turmoil, Princess Yuan Che had helped him a lot.
Not only did she awaken the power of the Ancient Immortal Court.
She also summoned the true spirit of Emperor Donghua.
It could be said that if it had lacked Princess Yuan Che's help.
The Dark Turmoil might have had more twists and sacrifices.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Princess Yuan Che's eyes shimmered.
It seemed as if it wasn't just her.
There was also Tiannv Yuan, and Ling Yuan, who seemed to be looking at Jun Xiaoyao through this gaze, carrying longing.
Then, Princess Yuan Che suddenly said: "Since you are thanking me, Xiaoyao, shouldn't there be some action or gesture?"
At this moment, Princess Yuan Che revealed a hint of girlish cunning.
"As long as it is something I can fulfill," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"How about you marry me?" Princess Yuan Che said.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression froze.
Princess Yuan Che continued: "And I don't even want a dowry; I'll even provide a reverse dowry, and the entire Ancient Immortal Court can be shared with you."
Jun Xiaoyao didn't know how to answer.
He also hadn't expected that in the Forgotten Kingdom, dreaming back to the Ancient Immortal Court, when he first encountered this last princess of the Ancient Immortal Court.
He would end up becoming her first love.
And people always have a fixation on their first love.
But the problem was, Jun Xiaoyao had just brought back Jiang Shengyi.
And had promised to marry her.
Before, it was just an engagement banquet, and only later would it be the real wedding banquet.
Although Jiang Shengyi was a woman who was understanding, gentle, intelligent, and wholeheartedly thinking of Jun Xiaoyao.
If Jun Xiaoyao also wanted to marry Princess Yuan Che as well, Jiang Shengyi would absolutely not say a word against it.
But, Jun Xiaoyao did not want to do that.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's silence.
The smile on Princess Yuan Che's face slightly faded, and a trace of dimness flashed in the depths of her glass-like eyes.
But she hid it very well.
She then revealed a smile and said: "Don't worry, Xiaoyao, I won't force you, and I won't make things difficult for you."
"Wasn't I very well-behaved at your last engagement banquet?"
Princess Yuan Che revealed a faint smile on her face.
But Jun Xiaoyao knew that her inner emotions were not like that.
One had to know, Princess Yuan Che was not just Princess Yuan Che.
She was also Ling Yuan, and Tiannv Yuan.
"Princess Yuan Che, I..."
Jun Xiaoyao seemed to want to say something.
He would rather fight a hundred Emperor Sanshengs than face this current situation.
Princess Yuan Che, however, extended her little finger.
Jun Xiaoyao watched.
"Xiaoyao, do you still remember the ten miles of peach blossoms, the pinky swear?" Princess Yuan Che murmured.
Jun Xiaoyao paused.
To be honest, he had forgotten a bit.
But Jun Xiaoyao was very wise; he remained silent and also extended a little finger.
Princess Yuan Che pursed her lips and smiled, her clear eyes overflowing with light.
"Then, let's make another promise."
"I, Princess Yuan Che, will always wait for you, until the day you marry me."
When dreaming back to the Ancient Immortal Court, under the ten miles of peach blossoms, Princess Yuan Che first saw that Young Master in white reciting poetry under a peach tree.
From then on, meeting Xiaoyao ruined her for life; no other scenery in the world could enter her eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao was silent.
And Princess Yuan Che, after making the promise, seemed to be in a much better mood.
Although Jun Xiaoyao didn't marry her the first time.
But who could be sure that Jun Xiaoyao would only get married once?
In short, she had set her mind on Jun Xiaoyao, was pestering him, and would never change for all eternity.
"Alright, personal matters aside, let's talk about business now."
Princess Yuan Che also sat up straight, as if she was about to say something important.
"What is it?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"It's about the supreme Immortal Artifact of my Immortal Court, the heavenly emperors throne."
