The Emperor's Son Arrives!

"Hahaha! Good! Great!"

Beneath the sacred mountain, the head of the Ji family watched this scene and laughed heartily, his voice filled with excitement.

Beside him, several unfathomable elders of the Ji family were also beaming with excitement.

"Yunxi has finally fully awakened the Supreme Dao Body. The day when my Ji family prospers is not far off!"

"Such an extraordinary phenomenon is rarely seen throughout history; Yunxi's future is limitless!"

Just as everyone was getting excited, the void above their heads was suddenly torn open without warning.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a simple Taoist robe, slowly walked out from there.

He didn't exude any aura, yet the Ji family patriarch and the supreme elders present all changed their expressions and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

The visitor was none other than the Ji family's ancestor, who had been asleep for countless years and had long since withdrawn from worldly affairs.

The Ji family patriarch's gaze fell on Ji Yunxi atop the mountain, and an unprecedented glint of light flashed in his turbid eyes.

"Excellent! The three thousand Great Daos resonate in unison, and purple aura lingers for thirty thousand miles! This is a sign of the Supreme Dao Body's great success! My Ji family will surely prosper!"

At the summit, Ji Yunxi slowly opened her eyes, and all the strange phenomena around her disappeared.

She took a step forward and stood before the crowd, bowing gracefully to the patriarch and the others.

"Yunxi greets the Ancestor, Father, and all Elders."

"Good, good, good, get up quickly." The Ji family patriarch personally stepped forward and helped Ji Yunxi up, his admiration undisguised. "Yunxi, you have now achieved the Great Perfection of the Supreme Dao Body. Looking at the younger generation of the Heavenly Realm, there are few who can compare to you!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunxi gently shook her head.

A complex expression appeared on her usually cool face.

"Ancestor, you flatter me. Yunxi's strength is far from sufficient."

Involuntarily, the image of the man who, in the body of a sage ruler, defied the quasi-emperor and suppressed all heroes in Baidi City appeared in her mind.

"I'm still far behind that person."

"That person?" The head of the Ji family was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and smiled nonchalantly. "Yunxi, are you talking about that successor to the Human Emperor named Chu Feng?"

Ji Yunxi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The head of the Ji family shook his head and said, "Although Chu Feng is a prodigy, he acts too arrogantly and has made too many enemies. The latest news is that in order to fight against a powerful Emperor, he forcibly burned his life essence and lifespan, and now he is exhausted and like a cripple, and may perish at any time."

"What is a dying man worth mentioning? My Ji family's Qilin Maiden's future goal is the vast universe, the supreme Dao. How could a mere Chu Feng compare to her?"

boom!

The words of the Ji family head struck Ji Yunxi like a thunderclap.

At this moment, her usually calm and composed mind was suddenly stirred up into a raging storm.

That guy... is he going to die?

Ji Yunxi's body trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

A strange pang shot through my heart, as if something important was about to be lost.

Why?

He and I were just strangers who met by chance, and we couldn't even be considered friends.

Why does my heart feel so chaotic upon hearing the news of his impending demise?

Ji Yunxi herself couldn't understand it either.

Her stunningly beautiful face now wore an incredibly complex expression.

Just as Ji Yunxi was feeling agitated and caught in a strange emotion.

Suddenly, the sky above the ancestral land of the Ji family was filled with brilliant golden light.

A golden road paved with pure law power extends from the depths of the endless void, stretching across the Ji family's sacred mountain.

On the main road, nine demonic beasts at the Saint King level pulled an incomparably magnificent golden divine chariot, slowly approaching.

Around the divine chariot, dozens of guards clad in golden armor, each possessing an aura at least at the Saint Ancestor Realm, stood in a cluster, their expressions arrogant and disdainful of everything.

This sudden turn of events caused all the high-ranking members of the Ji family present to change their expressions.

"This is……"

The Ji family patriarch's cloudy eyes were fixed on the ancient and domineering "Emperor" character totem on the golden chariot, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn.

"The Imperial Family!"

These two words seemed to possess boundless magic, causing the head of the Ji family and several elders to gasp in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible! Since the ancient Dark Ages, haven't the imperial clans all gone into seclusion, no longer concerning themselves with worldly affairs? Why would they suddenly descend upon my Ji family today?"

Imperial Family!

That is the supreme lineage that truly stands at the top of the pyramid among all the heavens and myriad realms!

Every imperial family has produced a true emperor, and their profound heritage is something that these immortal families simply cannot match.

Just as the Ji family members were in shock, the curtain of the golden chariot was slowly lifted by a slender hand.

A young man dressed in a purple-gold imperial robe, with a face so handsome it was almost otherworldly, stepped out.

He simply stood there casually, yet an innate nobility and domineering aura emanated from him.

His gaze swept over the Ji family members below as if they were ants, and finally landed on Ji Yunxi.

When the young man saw Ji Yunxi's unparalleled beauty and felt the aura of the Supreme Dao Body that transcended all other Daos emanating from her, a look of satisfaction finally appeared in his eyes.

"good."

He spoke softly, his voice low, yet carrying a sense of self-assured scrutiny.

"With her supreme Daoist physique and unparalleled beauty, she is barely worthy of being my woman."

What?!

The Emperor's words stunned everyone in the Ji family present.

The Ji family patriarch's expression turned even more unpleasant.

The Qilin girl, whom the Ji family cherished like a treasure, was only "barely good enough" in the eyes of the other party?

This imperial family is far too domineering!

However, circumstances are beyond our control.

Even a powerful family like the Ji family wouldn't dare to offend a mysterious and powerful imperial clan so easily.

Suppressing his displeasure, the Ji family patriarch cupped his hands in greeting to the imperial prince: "May I ask what brings the imperial prince to my Ji family?"

The prince didn't even bother to glance at him, his gaze remaining fixed on Ji Yunxi, as if admiring a piece of his own collection.

"This time, I, the Emperor's son, have been born and have been traveling through the heavens. I am in need of a maidservant, and she is very suitable."

"From this day forward, she is mine. Your Ji family, make preparations; in three days, I, the Crown Prince, will send someone to fetch her."

His tone was so calm, as if he were talking about something trivial.

But the content of his words completely changed the expressions of the Ji family members.

To make the future hope of the Ji family, the possessor of the Supreme Dao Body, become his maid?

This is an absolute disgrace!

The head of the Ji family clenched his fist instantly, his knuckles turning white.

However, before he could speak, Ji Yunxi's clear and cold voice rang out from the side.

"I will not be your maid."
