Emperor’s Domination

The childish conversation between Li Qiye and the girl perplexed the youths.

”Ancestor, where are you going?” She asked.

”Where I should be going.” To which Li Qiye answered.

”Did you tell me this before?” Her eyes blinked curiously.

”Would you have remembered? You have forgotten many things with time.” He said.

”Not always, I still remember what Jiahui told me.” She disagreed.

”This is a good thing about being young, forgetting what should be forgotten.” He smiled.

”What do you want to forget, Ancestor?” She asked.

”I don’t remember what I want to forget.” He gazed at the horizon.

”Then it means you have forgotten.” She said.

”No, I merely buried them in my heart. Forgetting means they no longer exist in your mind.” He shook his head.

”Buried, I see.” She pondered carefully before nodding: ”I’m sure I don’t have anything buried since I want to tell everyone.”

He smiled and didn’t respond.

The youths didn’t understand the purpose of this conversation, wondering if the problem was with them or the duo.

”Hey.” The princess poked Mu Hu and said while pointing at Li Qiye: ”Is he also an ancestor?”

”I have no idea.” Mu Hu chuckled awkwardly.

”Don’t even know all your ancestors.” She glared at him.

”I’ve never seen him before or I would have greeted him properly from the start.” Mu Hu said.

The group agreed with this statement or it would have been extremely disrespectful of Mu Hu.

”Then why is your little ancestor calling him ancestor?” She asked.

”Looks like they know each other.” Orchidcore said.

”Then he is your ancestor.” Monk Zhu added.

The young ancestor from Desolate Frontier was confusing for its members, let alone outsiders. The majority had no idea of her origin, only the emperors and ancestors had access to this.

They only knew of her, not her actual status or history. Nevertheless, she was certainly a special existence because of her protector - Driedtree Emperor.

The emperor’s sect was tiny compared to Desolate Frontier, but she was an apex emperor in Old World and an old follower of Desolate Frontier. Why was such an illustrious figure tasked with protecting a little girl?

There could only be one explanation - the girl came from something even greater.

Now, Mu Hu wondered about Li Qiye’s true identity as well. Was he another ancestor of Desolate Frontier?

”Is this the method of an immortal? Only Desolate Ancestor can do something like this.” Black Witch Monarch commented while meticulously analyzing the girl.

”What immortal’s method?” She seemed particularly distasteful of him.

”Haha, then who do you think is an immortal?” He laughed.

”My ancestor, of course. Ancestor, you are an immortal, right?” She raised her chin arrogantly before asking Li Qiye.

”...” The others became slack-jawed since she brought Li Qiye to the highest level.

”Well, I can’t argue with that.” The monarch supported the statement. His shamelessness left the group speechless.

”I am not an immortal since they do not exist in the mortal world. Three Immortals can’t produce one either.” Li Qiye said.

”What if there is one under your definition?” The princess asked.

”Then Three Immortals will cease to exist.” Li Qiye smiled.

”Why’s that?” Orchidcore jumped in.

”A true immortal won’t come to Three Immortals. If one does, it is to destroy it.” LI Qiye said.

”!” The young ones shuddered upon hearing this.

”Immortals can’t be bad.” Monk Zhu said: ”If one comes, nothing in this world can incite their anger to start a massacre.”

”Right, there’s no feud at all.” Princess Chen said.

”What would you do if you stepped on an ant nest?” Li Qiye stared at them.

”Burn it?” Mu Hu blurted.

”A regular person would actively avoid it. Therefore, anyone who purposely gets close enough is not normal. They might try to burn it for fun, or the ant nest might be useful in some way. All in all, it’s no different from taking honey from a beehive.” Li Qiye elaborated.

The group exchanged glances after seeing this.

”If I come across one, I’ll pour water on it to see them drown.” The girl said excitedly.

This sent chills down the youths’ spine because an imperious immortal might do so.

”So our immortals aren’t actual immortals?” Li Xian murmured in a daze.
