Chapter 17: Chapter 17: After All, I’m Not a Devil—Xiao Chen’s Provocation

At the gates of the Celestial Emperor Palace.

Bai Yu’er remains kneeling on the ground; a whole year has passed, and she has not risen.

The red feather robe on her body is covered in dust.

Her originally fair and delicate face has lost all color, appearing very pale and frail.

Even though Bai Yu’er is a Proud Daughter of Heaven and possesses the protection of the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame, a year-long kneeling without any food has left her extremely weak.

Over the past year, Jun Xiaoyao has entered and exited the Celestial Emperor Palace many times, but he has never once glanced at her.

Bai Yu’er’s heart, too, sinks deeper with time.

She feels that Jun Xiaoyao might never forgive her.

This means she has no chance of obtaining the Immortality Medicine from Jun Xiaoyao, let alone saving her father, the emperor.

Over in the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom, due to Jun Linglong’s instructions, they have not relayed the message about the Vermilion Bird Sovereign receiving the Immortality Medicine to Bai Yu’er.

Bai Yu’er still naively believes she has no hope left.

She feels as if she has sunk into a bottomless deep sea, her entire being suffocating, with desperation showing in her scarlet-tinged beautiful eyes.

At this moment, there is a faint sound of footsteps.

Bai Yu’er instinctively lifts her lovely eyes to look, her breath nearly halting.

The figure she thinks of day and night is indeed walking towards her.

Jun Xiaoyao, in his snow-white robe, is purer than snow, his skin glowing with Divine Radiance, exuding brilliance.

A year has passed, Jun Xiaoyao is now nine years old, his stature more slender, his features sculpted by the finest craftsman of Heaven, already revealing an astonishingly handsome visage.

He, at this moment, wears a calm expression as he walks in front of Bai Yu’er.

Next to him, Jun Linglong follows closely behind.

”Greetings, Lord Divine Son!”

Bai Yu’er’s expression is a mix of surprise and delight.

A whole year has passed, and she has finally waited for this day.

Jun Xiaoyao looks at Bai Yu’er, noting that she has become much thinner, indeed showing a genuine attitude of repentance.

However, Jun Xiaoyao does not express any opinions, merely looking at her indifferently.

Bai Yu’er sees his reaction, lightly biting her silver teeth, and bows deeply three times to Jun Xiaoyao, saying, ”Lord Divine Son, Yu’er knows her mistakes, please forgive her this once.”

Jun Xiaoyao replies indifferently, ”Knowing your mistakes is good; rise, after all, I am not a devil.”

Upon hearing this, Jun Linglong imagines something.

You’re not a devil and yet have kept her kneeling for a whole year?

Even giving out the Immortality Medicine without telling Bai Yu’er, letting her continue to kneel.

Truly an old devil.

”Thank you, Lord Divine Son.” Bai Yu’er struggles to stand, her legs numb, swaying and breathless.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao flicks a finger, letting a top-level Holy Pill fall into Bai Yu’er’s hand.

Bai Yu’er feels even more flattered and astonished.

A top-level Holy Pill, so precious that it fetches exorbitant prices elsewhere, yet Jun Xiaoyao casually gives it to her to consume.

For a moment, Bai Yu’er feels no resentment towards Jun Xiaoyao, but rather a sense of gratitude.

She consumes the Holy Pill, beginning to restore her strength.

Jun Xiaoyao’s lips curl into a faint cold smile.

The tactic of a stick followed by a sweet—he plays this more skillfully than anyone else.

The Holy Pill’s effects are miraculous, quickly eliminating Bai Yu’er’s weakness.

However, when she remembers the critically ill Vermilion Bird Sovereign, Bai Yu’er’s jade-like hand clenches, finding it difficult to speak up.

To receive Jun Xiaoyao’s forgiveness was already an unexpected joy.

Now, how could she dare to ask Jun Xiaoyao for the Immortality Medicine again?

With this thought, Bai Yu’er takes a deep breath, bows to Jun Xiaoyao, and says, ”Thank you, Lord Divine Son, for your leniency. Yu’er takes her leave.”

Bai Yu’er sighs deeply in her heart, in the end, she couldn’t bring back the Immortality Medicine.

At this moment, Jun Linglong softly laughs and says, ”Bai Yu’er, don’t you want the Immortality Medicine anymore?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu’er bitterly smiles, ”To obtain Lord Divine Son’s forgiveness is fortunate enough, how dare Yu’er be greedy?”

”Then why don’t you contact the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom?” Jun Linglong’s beautiful eyes ripple with waves of light.

Bai Yu’er is slightly stunned, then takes out a Jade Scroll to send a message.

On the other end, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom responds.

”The Jun Family sent the Immortality Medicine some time ago; it is all thanks to Lord Divine Son.”

”The Sovereign’s injuries not only recovered, but he is now in seclusion, striving for a higher realm.”

”All of this is due to the graciousness of Lord Divine Son!”

These pieces of news leave Bai Yu’er’s mind momentarily blank.

Then her face flushes with excitement, almost in disbelief.

”Lord Divine Son, it was you...”

Bai Yu’er’s eyes burn with fervor and excitement as she looks at Jun Xiaoyao, her voice choked up.

”I, the Divine Son, said it before, I’m not some devil.” Jun Xiaoyao smiles indifferently.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao’s figure is deeply engraved in Bai Yu’er’s heart.

From inside out, she seems to have transformed into the shape of Jun Xiaoyao.

Her heart is deeply imprinted with Jun Xiaoyao’s mark, impossible to erase for a lifetime.

It’s as if a person who fell into deep despair suddenly saw all their hopes realized.

And all these hopes were brought to her by Jun Xiaoyao.

”Yu’er is willing to serve Lord Divine Son for a lifetime, as a servant, obeying without question. If I break this oath, let Heaven strike me down with lightning!”

Bai Yu’er kneels before Jun Xiaoyao, speaking resolutely.

If before, she was pleading for forgiveness, now she is genuinely submitting to Jun Xiaoyao.

And just at this moment, an angry voice echoes from outside the Jun Family Mountain Gate.

”Where is the Jun Family’s Divine Son, what skill is it to bully a weak girl, dare to fight with me!”

This voice booms like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

Many in the Jun Family are alarmed by it.

A Jun Family guard walks over to report to Jun Xiaoyao.

”Reporting to Lord Divine Son, a young man is being insolent outside the gate, he seems to be from the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country.”

”Hah... It seems this fiancé still doesn’t know his place...” Jun Xiaoyao sneers subtly to himself.

He responds indifferently, ”Let him in, I’ll handle this matter.”

”Yes.” The guard departs.

And the kneeling Bai Yu’er, her complexion turns slightly pale.

Jun Xiaoyao just forgave her, and now her fiancé comes to provoke him.

Isn’t this ruining everything for her?

At this moment, Bai Yu’er feels a hint of resentment towards her fiancé, Xiao Chen.

”Lord Divine Son, I...” Bai Yu’er feels panic-stricken in her heart, hurriedly wanting to explain.

”It’s fine.” Jun Xiaoyao waves his hand.

In a matter of moments, a young man dressed in a Cyan Dragon Robe, with a handsome and refined appearance, arrives at the scene.

When he sees Bai Yu’er kneeling before Jun Xiaoyao, his eyes immediately flare, a furious intent emanating from him.

Any man would be unable to accept his fiancée kneeling before another man.

”Yu’er, get up quickly, how dare he force you like this!” Xiao Chen shouts angrily.

”Xiao Chen, hold your tongue, how dare you speak disrespectfully to Lord Divine Son!” Bai Yu’er immediately chides.

Xiao Chen is stunned, looking at Bai Yu’er with incredulity.

”Yu’er, I came to rescue you, why do you speak for him?” Xiao Chen asks in confusion.

”Enough, I kneeled by my own accord, Lord Divine Son is willing to forgive me, I can’t be happier, why are you causing trouble?” Bai Yu’er says coldly.

Originally, she had some slight goodwill towards Xiao Chen, her childhood friend.

But the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country went back on their word and didn’t give the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom the Immortality Medicine.

She had asked Xiao Chen, who promised her, yet to this day, the Immortality Medicine is nowhere in sight.

If it weren’t for Jun Xiaoyao producing the Immortality Medicine, her father, the emperor, might still be gravely ill.

Between Jun Xiaoyao and Xiao Chen, who truly did Bai Yu’er a favor?

”Yu’er, how can you think like this, was it him who forced you?”

Xiao Chen grits his teeth, anger boiling in his heart.
