Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Bullying My Fairy Sister Yun Xian, You Deserve to Die

”Big Brother Lu, good night. See you tomorrow!” Ning Feifan said, smiling at Su Han before returning to his room.

Su Han gave him a helpless wave and entered his own room. Although Ning Feifan was a bit clingy, Su Han had learned a fair amount of information from him. For instance, the Seven Stars Sect’s entry-level examination was about to begin, and geniuses from all over Qingzhou had been drawn by the news. It was bound to be a fierce competition. He also learned that their entire group would first be staying in Qian Yuan City, waiting for the day of the actual examination before heading to the Seven Stars Sect. Of course, he also heard about the recent update to the Qingyun List and Su Han’s own dramatic entry onto it.

All in all, Su Han learned quite a lot. He also discovered Ning Feifan’s true identity: he was the Crown Prince of the Ning Country.

Shaking his head, Su Han chose not to dwell on it. He sat cross-legged and resumed his cultivation. Only by becoming stronger could he control his own destiny.

「Meanwhile, in another room」

Ning Feifan’s eyes burned with excitement.

It’s confirmed! He’s Su Han! So young, yet his realm is so high... plus, I’ve never even heard of him before. He calls himself Lu Han, so it must be an alias. I can’t believe my luck! I’ve actually befriended such a ruthless character right here on the cloud boat. With him watching my back, I’ll never have to worry about being bullied again! This is awesome!

After all, Ning Feifan was the Crown Prince of the Ning Country; he wouldn’t casually befriend just anyone, let alone be so proactive about it. He had been paying attention to Su Han for a while but couldn’t be sure at first. Being quite perceptive himself, he managed to pick up on some clues during their in-depth conversation and finally confirmed Su Han’s identity.

This is a ruthless man, one who kills without batting an eye. He threw the entire Tianqing Dynasty into chaos! He even stormed his way onto the Qingyun List, securing the high rank of eighty-first. A man like that has limitless potential. Befriending him now is absolutely the right move.

Although Ning Feifan’s own innate talent and strength were average, he was quite proud of his ability to judge people.

I have a hunch that Su Han is no mere fish in a pond; he is destined to one day soar into the heavens. If I stick with him, even the scraps he leaves behind will be more than enough for me! In the future, I’ll just tell everyone that my big brother is Su Han. We’ll see who dares to mess with me then!

Ning Feifan drifted happily into dreamland, his mind made up to latch onto this powerful backer.

The cloud boat traveled at an incredible speed, entering the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty in less than five days. The Great Qian Dynasty was the largest country in the Qingzhou region; the Tianqing Dynasty and the Ning Country were completely dwarfed by comparison. The Seven Stars Spirit Vein of the Seven Stars Sect was located within its borders.

”The Great Qian Dynasty may not compare to the Seven Stars Sect, but it’s still one of the top nations in Qingzhou. If our Ning Country were this big, I wouldn’t have to bother with this damn entry-level examination. I’d be made an Inner Sect Disciple right away,” Ning Feifan said, standing next to Su Han. He looked down at the vast and rich Great Qian Dynasty with an expression of bitter envy.

Thanks to the presence of the Seven Stars Sect, Qian Yuan City had become one of the largest cities in the Great Qian Dynasty, a bustling and prosperous hub filled with people. As the cloud boat descended, Su Han finally arrived.

”The entry-level examination starts in three days. I’ve already booked an inn, so let’s settle down here and rest!” Ning Feifan invited, determined to hold on tight to the powerful backer he had finally found.

”Alright,” Su Han nodded in agreement after a moment of thought. Although he needed to see Fairy Sister Yun Xian, he couldn’t very well stay at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Perhaps because the examination was imminent, Su Han noticed quite a few talented Martial Artists in the city. They had come from all over Qingzhou, each hoping to join the Seven Stars Sect for a chance to leap through the dragon’s gate. Of course, those gathered in Qian Yuan City right now were mostly geniuses from mid- to low-tier factions. The true prodigies could join directly, and some were even proactively recruited by the Seven Stars Sect, as had been the case with the Great Crown Prince.

Due to the massive influx of people, the inns were doing booming business. Fortunately, Ning Feifan had booked in advance. Otherwise, Su Han might not have found a place to stay.

”Big Brother Lu, let’s go for a walk and gather some information!” Ning Feifan suggested once they were settled in, but Su Han shook his head and refused.

”You go ahead. I have something to do.”

After parting ways with Ning Feifan, Su Han headed straight for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. He had missed her dearly after so many days and wanted nothing more than to see Fairy Sister Yun Xian as soon as possible.

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion in Qian Yuan City was far more luxurious than the one in the Tianqing Dynasty. It wasn’t just a single building but an entire commercial complex, glittering with gold and jewels and exuding an overwhelming air of wealth and opulence.

Upon entering, Su Han produced the red Jade Pendant that Tongyan had given him and approached a maid to make an inquiry. Seeing the red Jade Pendant, the maid’s eyes widened in shock, and her attitude toward Su Han immediately became one of utmost respect.

”Miss Lu resides in the West Wing Hall. I will take you there at once!”

The maid respectfully led the way, guiding Su Han deep into the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

”Sir, Miss Lu is inside,” the maid said before bowing respectfully and withdrawing.

At that moment, Su Han released his spiritual power and sensed the aura of Fairy Sister Yun Xian. Before a look of joy could cross his face, however, his expression froze. He had also sensed an unfamiliar aura inside.

The West Wing Hall wasn’t just a room, but a private courtyard. Inside, Lu Yunxian stood gracefully in a white dress, as pure and beautiful as a green lotus upon a lake. Standing before her, however, was a handsome and extraordinary young man with sword-like brows and eyes as bright as stars.

The young man appeared to be about twenty years old. He wore a python robe and emanated an imposing aura tinged with imperial majesty, clearly indicating he was of royal descent. Not only was he at the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, but he also possessed a Special Physique: the Stellar Monarch Body. The Stellar Monarch Body was ranked 1,888 on the List of Special Physiques, comparable to Su Han’s former Heavenly Dragon Battle Body.

”Lu Yunxian, submit to me. I will grant you glory and wealth, allowing you to enjoy the honor of an Imperial Concubine. From this day forward, you will stand above all other beings,” the young man declared with his hands clasped behind his back. His expression was one of sheer arrogance, as if he were bestowing a great charity.

His name was Qian Xing, and he was the Third Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, a man of both noble status and exceptional talent. With his standing, he could have entered the Seven Stars Sect directly, but he insisted on participating in the entry-level examination to prove himself, intending to defeat all his rivals and claim first place. The first time he laid eyes on Lu Yunxian, he was captivated by her heavenly beauty, immediately viewing her as his personal prize to be claimed. Now, he was here to confront her directly with a domineering stance.

”Thank you for your favor, Your Highness, but Yun Xian cherishes her freedom. I’m afraid I must decline your generous offer,” Lu Yunxian replied, gently refusing him.

However, Qian Xing was accustomed to getting his way and was not one to give up so easily.

”There is no woman this Prince desires that I cannot have! Today, you will agree whether you want to or not!”

A glint flashed in Qian Xing’s eyes as he abruptly reached out, intending to seize Lu Yunxian and take her by force. Although Lu Yunxian had broken through to the Divine Sea Realm, the gap in power between her and Qian Xing was immense. She struggled with all her might but could not break free.

However, just as Qian Xing believed victory was his, a fierce, black blade light suddenly slashed from behind, accompanied by a voice as cold as ice.

”You dare bully my Fairy Sister Yun Xian? You deserve to die!”
