"Sister Shengyi, please come in," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Jiang Shengyi walked in from outside the palace.

As usual, she wore her customary snow robe and her face remained just as charming and unworldly.

Her crescent-shaped eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, vivid red lips, and crystal-clear teeth.

Her delicate body immaculate and pure, immortal posture graceful, white jade figure tall and slender, like a snow lotus flower standing alone in the world.

The Innate Dao Embryo added an ethereal quality to Jiang Shengyi's beauty, making her seem three parts mystical, three parts lively, three parts transcendent, and untouched by worldly dust.

Such women are rare in the human world.

Even someone like Jun Xiaoyao, generally indifferent to women, couldn't help but marvel.

Indeed, Jiang Shengyi is truly a rare beauty in the world.

But thinking of the complicated relationship with her gave Jun Xiaoyao a headache.

"Xiaoyao, I..." Jiang Shengyi began to speak.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "Sister Shengyi, if you're here to say thanks, it's unnecessary. There's no need for such formality between us."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengyi fell silent.

She did want to thank Jun Xiaoyao for his efforts.

Even for a dangerous place like the Ancient Burial Land, Jun Xiaoyao was willing to venture.

All of this originated from his desire to prevent her union with the Young Emperor of the Wang Family.

Thinking about how her issues had placed Jun Xiaoyao in danger, Jiang Shengyi felt full of remorse.

She wished she could have gone to the Ancient Burial Land herself.

"Sister Shengyi, is there anything else?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Xiaoyao, when do you plan to depart?" Jiang Shengyi inquired.

"Tomorrow," Jun Xiaoyao replied.

The three thousand Immortal Origins have already been refined; there's no need to delay further.

Besides, the opening of the Immortal Ancient World isn't far off, and Jun Xiaoyao doesn't want the matter of the Ancient Burial Land to delay the opportunities there.

"So soon... Xiaoyao, I've heard you enjoy bathing?" Jiang Shengyi suddenly asked.

"Hmm," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

"In my secluded cave mansion, there's a ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Spring Eye, usually used by me alone. If you don't mind, let me take you there," Jiang Shengyi offered.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

Relaxing before his journey didn't seem bad.

But that place was Jiang Shengyi's private hot spring, a bit... questionable.

Jiang Shengyi's crystalline snow visage revealed a faint blush, and she softly whispered, "Xiaoyao, let me serve you during the bath this time."

"This..." Jun Xiaoyao found himself speechless.

Having a Divine Fairy Consort-like aunt serve him seemed a bit improper.

He considered refusing but found such hypocrisy excessive.

As a man, being real is better.

Finally, Jiang Shengyi led Jun Xiaoyao to her secluded location.

Indeed, there was a spring eye there, spiritual qi exuding, steam billowing.

Jun Xiaoyao undid his upper clothing, submerged himself in the spring, feeling endlessly pleasant.

He turned and discovered Jiang Shengyi removing her outer garments.

She wore only fitted inner garments.

Vaguely sketching out her enchanting curves.

Her jade hands rested on Jun Xiaoyao's shoulders, massaging him.

Jun Xiaoyao gladly enjoyed it.

He noticed the spring eye had a faint fragrance.

Upon closer scenting, he realized it was the same as Jiang Shengyi's body fragrance, fresh and elegant.

No indescribable events took place between the two.

A warmth flowed quietly.

After a long while, Jun Xiaoyao unexpectedly fell asleep.

Jiang Shengyi knelt on the ground, placing Jun Xiaoyao's head on her lap.

Her jade hands tracing the contours of Jun Xiaoyao's sleeping face.

Even asleep.

Jun Xiaoyao's brows remained slightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Jiang Shengyi felt an inexplicable heartache.

The world only knows of Jun Xiaoyao's unmatched prowess.

Yet they don't know the pressure he bears and how much burden he carries.

"Xiaoyao, thank you..."

Jiang Shengyi leaned down, and her red lips kissed Jun Xiaoyao's forehead lightly like a dragonfly touching water.

This kiss, devoid of any distracting thoughts.

...

After a while, Jun Xiaoyao opened his eyes, finding Jiang Shengyi gazing intently at his face.

His head rested upon soft thighs.

"Is this... a lap pillow?" Jun Xiaoyao asked, slightly bewildered.

In all his lives, across two lifetimes, this was his first time receiving such VIP treatment.

Feeling a little guilty, Jiang Shengyi averted her gaze, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Moments ago, she was mesmerized by Jun Xiaoyao's handsome sleeping face.

While Jiang Shengyi wasn't a face-loving fanatic like Jiang Luoli.

A good-looking face is something anyone would want to gaze at a little longer.

"Xiaoyao, you're awake," Jiang Shengyi said softly.

"Sister Shengyi, thank you," Jun Xiaoyao rose.

He wasn't the type to indulge in gentle comforts.

But this care indeed felt pleasant.

At least Jiang Luoli doesn't have such a gentle temperament.

If Jiang Luoli is a playful and adorable little girl.

Then Jiang Shengyi is the gentle big sister next door, their personalities vastly different.

"Can't I go with you?" Jiang Shengyi still wished to accompany Jun Xiaoyao.

"No need, Sister Shengyi. Don't you trust me?" Jun Xiaoyao declined with a smile.

"Xiaoyao, I'll wait for your return," Jiang Shengyi said softly.

"Okay," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

Jiang Shengyi's face was slightly red as if she had thought of something, speaking in a voice as soft as a mosquito's: "When you return, I'll let you do something even more comfortable."

"Something more comfortable?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed signs of intrigue.

Those words carried a certain depth.

The tender night came to an end.

The next day, under the gaze of Jiang Daoxu, Jiang Rou, and a group of Jiang Family members, Jun Xiaoyao departed the Jiang Family.

He boarded a flying ship, traversing the void.

Jun Xiaoyao could sense that secretly, numerous eyes were tracking him.

"Ha... all want to watch the show?" Jun Xiaoyao's lips curved into a cold smile.

The news of him going to the Ancient Burial Land should have been completely sealed by the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family shouldn't spread it lightly.

Yet it was still leaked, even spreading widely in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm.

Clearly, someone in the dark was fanning the flames.

If Jun Xiaoyao truly met with some mishap, the entire Immortal Realm would know immediately.

"The Jiang Family probably wouldn't spread it lightly. Could it be, Hua Yuanxiu?"

After much deliberation, Jun Xiaoyao could only think of Hua Yuanxiu.

Perhaps he secretly conveyed the news.

Since the news spread so quickly, it was clear Hua Yuanxiu had backing.

As for which power, Jun Xiaoyao already guessed quite accurately.

"The Wang Family is incredibly bold, daring to place pawns in the Jiang Family. Once I'm back from the Ancient Burial Land, I'll eliminate Hua Yuanxiu," Jun Xiaoyao's eyes glinted coldly.

Now is not the time to kill Hua Yuanxiu.

Moreover, he is Jiang Chuhuan's fiancé.

Without evidence, rashly killing Hua Yuanxiu would be unjustified, and he would surely argue endlessly.

In the future, when Hua Yuanxiu reveals his true colors, then directly eliminate him.

It could also be an opportunity to bleed the Wang Family and make them suffer.

But those are matters for later.

For now, Jun Xiaoyao only needs to focus on the Ancient Burial Land, seeking the Nine Marvels Reincarnation Immortal Grass.

"Let me, the Divine Son, see what secrets lie within the Ancient Burial Land?"

Jun Xiaoyao stood against the wind, gazing into the distance.
