Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients-Chapter 123: Jun Xiaoyao Once Again Shakes the World, the Wager with Wu Mingyue

Chapter 123 - 123: Jun Xiaoyao Once Again Shakes the World, the Wager with Wu Mingyue

After the Panwu Divine Dynasty banquet concluded.

The various events that occurred within also spread throughout the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

For a time, Jun Xiaoyao once again became the subject of discussion and amazement for countless people.

The last time he caused such a sensation was during the Yuan Tian Secret Cache incident, when he contended against the Supreme Demonic Corpse.

However, this time, it was even more sensational.

Because the one Jun Xiaoyao had slapped in the face was an immortal divine dynasty!

Of course, some men also felt it was a pity for Wu Mingyue.

Such a beautiful woman, after such a commotion, the matter of selecting a consort also fell through.

Jun Xiaoyao, who could have originally become the consort, actually looked down on Wu Mingyue.

This made many male cultivators indignant; how could the gap between people be so vast?

Their unattainable goddess, yet Jun Xiaoyao disdained her, too lazy to even want her.

After the banquet ended, the various forces departed. Jiang Luoli and the others also left reluctantly.

After this incident, Jiang Luoli liked and admired Jun Xiaoyao even more.

At least Jun Xiaoyao wasn't the kind of scumbag who would accept any woman who came his way.

Jun Xiaoyao was also very helpless. He just didn't want to marry his own servant.

How did he suddenly become a "three-good man" (三好男人 - a man who is good-looking, has a good personality, and a good background/career) in the eyes of other women?

These women's imaginations were too wild.

Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao didn't leave immediately but stayed in the imperial capital for a few days.

The reason he stayed was naturally because he still had one more matter to attend to.

Late at night, in the Imperial Palace's Forbidden City, all was quiet.

A figure in white clothes quietly arrived before a side palace; it was Jun Xiaoyao.

At the entrance, a little palace maid was drowsily dozing off; it was Wu Mingyue's personal attendant, Xi'er.

Xi'er's pretty eyes were hazy and sleepy. Suddenly, she saw a peerlessly transcendent figure in white slowly walking over under the moonlight, and she was momentarily dazed.

"Is it an immortal descending to the mortal world?" Xi'er mumbled.

She thought she was dreaming.

"Wu Mingyue is inside, right?" Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.

"It's... it's the Jun family's Divine Son!" Xi'er suddenly snapped back to reality, her pretty eyes widening, her expression filled with joy and excitement.

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Her Highness the Princess is inside."

"Good." Jun Xiaoyao directly pushed the door open and entered.

Xi'er clasped her hands together, looking intoxicated.

"Xi'er actually spoke with the Jun family's Divine Son! Heavens, seen up close, the Divine Son is even more perfect, like a banished immortal under the moon..."

Xi'er was lost in her own intoxication with Jun Xiaoyao's charm, unable to extricate herself.

Inside the palace hall, before a dressing table.

Wu Mingyue's peerlessly beautiful face carried a haggard look. She looked at the bronze mirror before her, lost in her own sorrow.

The events that had occurred recently were truly cruel for a woman like her.

Forced to sever ties with Xiao Chen, publicly disdained by Jun Xiaoyao.

She, the dignified Eldest Princess of a Divine Dynasty, had now become a joke.

Any woman would find it unbearable; some might even have thoughts of suicide.

However, Wu Mingyue was quite strong. She still had a pillar of support in her heart.

That was Xiao Chen.

She believed that with Xiao Chen's perseverance and determination, he would definitely be able to rise again.

At this moment, a figure in white unknowingly appeared behind her.

In the bronze mirror, a handsome and otherworldly face, veiled in immortal brilliance, was reflected.

"Jun Xiaoyao!"

Wu Mingyue suddenly came to her senses, a look of shock on her face. She hadn't expected Jun Xiaoyao to come looking for her.

"What should you call me?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

Wu Mingyue's voice faltered slightly, and then she squeezed out two words, almost from between her teeth.

"Master..."

"Very good. It seems you haven't forgotten your identity as a servant," Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Wu Mingyue's slender hands clenched tightly, her beautiful head slightly lowered, a sense of humiliation in her heart.

"Didn't you say Mingyue wasn't worthy of you? Then what are you doing here?" Wu Mingyue's tone was slightly cold.

"Are you... sulking?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Why did Wu Mingyue's tone sound like that of a resentful wife abandoned by her husband?

"Of course not." Wu Mingyue turned her face away. How could she possibly have such emotions?

She was actually relieved that Jun Xiaoyao didn't become the consort.

It was just that being publicly belittled by Jun Xiaoyao like that, Wu Mingyue felt憋着气 (憋着氣 - biēzheqì - holding in her anger/frustration).

"Hah... I've wronged you. I didn't consider your feelings. My apologies," Jun Xiaoyao smiled gently.

Wu Mingyue raised her eyelids slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Jun Xiaoyao actually apologized to her?

And what was with that gentle smile?

Why was it so dazzling?

Wu Mingyue's thoughts were somewhat chaotic; for a moment, she didn't know what expression to show.

Could it be that Jun Xiaoyao came to comfort her?

Just as Wu Mingyue was thinking this.

The smile on Jun Xiaoyao's face deepened as he said, "I came to find you this time to ask how much Immortal Origin you have on you. Hand it all over."

Wu Mingyue: "?????"

It turned out she had been overthinking things.

Jun Xiaoyao hadn't come to comfort her at all, but to rob her of Immortal Origin.

And to think Jun Xiaoyao had shown such a harmless and handsome smile; it turned out to be the smile of a devil!

"Jun Xiaoyao... you!" Wu Mingyue's crystal-clear jade face flushed red, her heart filled with indignation. She practically wanted to bite Jun Xiaoyao!

This person was too detestable!

"What, not giving it?" Jun Xiaoyao's face immediately darkened.

Just a moment ago, he was all smiles, and now he was as gloomy as a thunderstorm.

"I only have a little over fifty pieces on me," Wu Mingyue gritted her silver teeth and said.

"Hand them over," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.

Wu Mingyue resentfully handed over the fifty-odd pieces of Immortal Origin, her beautiful eyes glaring at Jun Xiaoyao.

Indeed, she shouldn't harbor any illusions about Jun Xiaoyao.

Devil, blockhead, straight-steel man! (TN: 榆木脑袋 (yúmù nǎodai) - elm-wood head, meaning dense/obtuse. 钢铁直男 (gāngtiě zhínán) - steel straight man, meaning extremely straightforward and unromantic, often clueless about women's feelings.)

After obtaining the Immortal Origin, Jun Xiaoyao secretly shook his head.

It seemed the princess of an immortal divine dynasty wasn't as wealthy as he had imagined.

Looking at Wu Mingyue's expressionless jade face, Jun Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Do you still harbor illusions about that Xiao Chen?"

Wu Mingyue didn't say anything, only lightly biting her jade lip with her pearly teeth.

Jun Xiaoyao chuckled, "It seems you still haven't recognized Xiao Chen's true colors. From the very beginning, he just wanted to use you to obtain the status of consort, thereby gaining the support of the Panwu Divine Dynasty to oppose me."

"Don't think everyone is like you!" Wu Mingyue said coldly.

In this aspect, she firmly believed in Xiao Chen's character.

"Then how about we make a bet?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

"What bet?" Wu Mingyue asked.

"Let's bet on this person, Xiao Chen. If his character is truly as you say, then I lose, and I can remove your mark," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Are you serious?"

Hearing that Jun Xiaoyao would remove her mark, a trace of joy appeared on Wu Mingyue's face.

Day and night, she had wanted Jun Xiaoyao to remove the mark.

"Of course. If I am right, then I want you to willingly submit to this Divine Son!" Jun Xiaoyao flicked his sleeve and said lightly.

Hearing this, Wu Mingyue agreed almost without any hesitation.

In her view, this was tantamount to Jun Xiaoyao giving her a free chance to remove the mark.

"Alright then, the wager is set," Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly and turned to leave.

A look of hope appeared on Wu Mingyue's snow-white jade face.

Soon, she would be free, no longer constrained by Jun Xiaoyao.

Meanwhile, a smile tugged at the corner of Jun Xiaoyao's lips, and he secretly shook his head.

"This silly, sweet princess. Reality can be very cruel..."

Jun Xiaoyao had noticed long ago, when Xiao Chen left, the frenzy and ruthlessness revealed in his eyes.

A madman is capable of anything.

This could also be considered a trap Jun Xiaoyao had set for Wu Mingyue.

This Eldest Princess of the Divine Dynasty was thoroughly being played in the palm of Jun Xiaoyao's hand!
