Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 398: Chapter 396: Bai Mei’Er Grows Disheartened and Cuts All Ties

”What am I thinking, there’s no way I could have any relationship with Young Master Jun...”

Bai Mei’Er touched her face.

She was a Celestial Maiden of the Celestial Fox Race, an Ancient Royal Family.

And Jun Xiaoyao was the Divine Son of the Desolate Ancient Royal Family.

Their factions were different from the start.

Moreover, she was on Long Aotian’s side.

However, Bai Mei’Er sometimes couldn’t help but think of Jun Xiaoyao’s gentle smile.

In comparison, the current Long Aotian was really hurtful.

Bai Mei’Er was even a bit grateful that, due to her cultivation technique, nothing substantive had happened with Long Aotian back then.

Not even letting Long Aotian hold her hand.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Long Aotian appeared in front of Bai Mei’Er.

”What about that woman?” Bai Mei’Er asked indifferently.

”Her injuries are more or less fine, she’s recuperating,” said Long Aotian.

Noticing Bai Mei’Er’s cold tone, he instead showed a hint of a smug smile: ”Mei’Er, are you getting jealous?”

”How could I be?” Bai Mei’Er replied.

”Haha, there’s really no need to. The reason I saved that Ao Luan was because she can be of help to me.”

”Look, she told me that in this area there is a great opportunity at the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake, and their Dragon-man Race occupies the most central area within it.”

”And the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake is likely to have a big eruption soon, which will surely produce many treasures in the core region.”

”With Ao Luan, we can also enter that core area.”

Long Aotian continued, his eyes filled with excitement.

He had heard of the opportunities at the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake before.

Originally planning to have a look, he didn’t expect that Ao Luan’s Dragon-man Race would occupy the core area of the Dao Lake.

It’s like a pie falling from the sky.

However, Bai Mei’Er didn’t show the slightest joy upon hearing this.

Instead, she spoke with an extremely cold tone: ”Long Aotian, did you save that woman just to use her for benefits?”

Bai Mei’Er’s words made Long Aotian’s smile fade.

”Mei’Er, what do you mean by that? I’m considering for you too,” Long Aotian explained.

”Your initial intention to save me, wasn’t it just like your intention to save that Dragon-man Race woman?” Bai Mei’Er’s beautiful eyes completely lost their luster.

”This... how could it be? Am I that kind of person?” Long Aotian continued to argue, but his expression was slightly unnatural.

”You say it’s for me, yet you only want me to be a concubine, while making Princess Long Ji the main palace. What does that mean?” Bai Mei’Er’s tone was icy as frost.

Long Aotian was left speechless.

What else could he say?

Just wanted to play around with a fox spirit?

Or trying to gain the influence of the Celestial Fox Race?

Or both?

But how could he say such things out loud?

”Lost for words, are you? Haha, Long Aotian, so to you, Bai Mei’Er is just a plaything, right?”

Bai Mei’Er’s suppressed emotions erupted completely.

Since she emerged from closure, she had been relentlessly chasing Long Aotian’s shadow.

Passionate and in love with him.

And now, she’s finally seen Long Aotian’s true face.

The so-called saving her was just a ploy with an agenda.

Just like saving Ao Luan this time.

Her sincere heart had been fed to the dogs.

At this moment, Bai Mei’Er looked at Long Aotian with eyes as dead as a void, devoid of any light.

She hadn’t expected Long Aotian to be like this.

”Mei’Er, you’ve misunderstood me!” Long Aotian stepped forward, reaching out, trying to hold Bai Mei’Er.

”Don’t touch me!” Bai Mei’Er shouted, stepping back a few steps, her beautiful eyes filled with disgust.

After fully realizing Long Aotian’s true nature, she felt only nausea and repulsion in her heart.

Long Aotian didn’t truly care about her; he was just greedy for her body.

Perhaps even because of the force behind her from the Celestial Fox Race.

Without profit, would Long Aotian still have saved her?

Clearly not.

So Bai Mei’Er had seen through him completely.

With deep resentment in her eyes, she turned around, stepping into the air and leaving.

Her heart was utterly dead.

”Mei’Er!”

Watching Bai Mei’Er’s distant figure, Long Aotian’s face darkened.

”Damn it, such a loss. If I’d known, I would’ve overpowered her; haven’t even touched her hand,” Long Aotian cursed.

When he saved Bai Mei’Er before, due to her cultivation technique, he couldn’t touch her body.

Feigning chivalry, he hadn’t forced anything.

Now, the duck that was already cooked had flown away.

”No matter, it’s just another quarrel like before. She will still come back,” Long Aotian shook his head, not overly concerned.

He couldn’t give up Ao Luan for Bai Mei’Er.

”With Ao Luan, I can enter the Immortal Ancient Dao Lake’s core area. With my destiny, I’m sure to acquire treasures. Once my cultivation increases, I can directly kill Jun Xiaoyao and then conquer Princess Long Ji,” Long Aotian smiled.

He had already planned everything for the future; he just needed to execute it step by step.

Long Aotian’s plans seemed splendid.

If not for Jun Xiaoyao, maybe his plans would have come true smoothly.

But unfortunately...

On the other side.

Bai Mei’Er soared over the horizon in a daze, her mind blank.

She didn’t know where to go or what to do next.

The dark and negative seed planted in her heart had taken root and sprouted.

The deeper the love, the deeper the hate.

Especially for someone like Bai Mei’Er, who had a hint of a twisted personality, it was easy for her to veer to another extreme.

”Long Aotian, it’s unforgivable how you toyed with my feelings!” Bai Mei’Er’s hollow eyes were filled with deep resentment.

She even wished she could take an axe and split open Long Aotian’s chest to see if his heart was red or black!

”What should I do now, where should I go...”

Bai Mei’Er was utterly lost, and unknowingly, she found herself near the maze valley where she had been trapped before.

”Young Master Jun... I sense Young Master Jun’s presence...”

The Celestial Fox Race was naturally sensitive, and Bai Mei’Er detected Jun Xiaoyao’s presence not too far away.

Thinking of how Jun Xiaoyao had saved her before, Bai Mei’Er’s heart pounded.

Unlike Long Aotian, Jun Xiaoyao had saved her without wanting anything in return or any interest involved.

After all, with Jun Xiaoyao’s faction and stance, there was no need for him to save her at all.

But Jun Xiaoyao had saved her nonetheless, and didn’t ask for anything in return.

The comparison between Jun Xiaoyao and Long Aotian revealed a chasm between them.

”Young Master Jun, Young Master Jun...” Bai Mei’Er kept repeating, and her previously hollow eyes began to emit light again.

For the utterly desperate and empty Bai Mei’Er at this moment.

Jun Xiaoyao was her sole ray of light.

This ray of light was even brighter and a hundred times warmer than Long Aotian had ever been!

Bai Mei’Er gracefully moved forward, following Jun Xiaoyao’s presence!
