Chapter 392: Miss, You've Got the Wrong Person
Jun Xiaoyao gazed ahead.
Not far off in a valley, a woman in a pink dress with six fox tails was circling back and forth.
No matter what, she couldn't leave the valley.
"It's really the Celestial Maiden of the Celestial Fox Race. What is she doing?" Lei Mingyuan wondered, wanting to investigate further.
Lei Mingyuan's Divine Soul Power was far inferior to Jun Xiaoyao's.
So he didn't sense any danger.
On the contrary, Jun Xiaoyao had a different look in his eyes.
Just as Lei Mingyuan was about to step into the valley, Jun Xiaoyao spoke, "Hold on..."
"Divine Son, what's wrong?" Lei Mingyuan asked, puzzled.
"If you take another step forward, you'll end up just like her," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
"Could it be..." Lei Mingyuan wasn't foolish and quickly caught on.
"That's right, this valley is a maze. Didn't you notice she hasn't seen us? She's already trapped inside this maze," Jun Xiaoyao explained.
"I see," Lei Mingyuan instinctively stepped back two paces, feeling a cold sweat.
A celestial pride like him could easily stumble into a maze if not careful.
At that time, he would find himself in a desperate situation.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced indifferently at Bai Mei'Er, who was trapped in the maze.
At this moment, Bai Mei'Er's fair and charming face was filled with despair.
However, Jun Xiaoyao remained unmoved, showing no compassion.
He had no connection with this Celestial Fox Race Celestial Maiden and no reason to help her.
"Let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said, flicking his sleeves and preparing to leave.
Lei Mingyuan nodded, muttering, "How did the Celestial Maiden of the Celestial Fox Race end up here, and why isn't Long Aotian coming to rescue her?"
Jun Xiaoyao paused at his words and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lei Mingyuan replied, "Doesn't Lord Divine Son know about the relationship between Bai Mei'Er and Long Aotian?"
"I'm not well-versed in it," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"This Celestial Fox Race Celestial Maiden was once trapped in a deadly array in a secret realm. Long Aotian saved her, and since then, Bai Mei'Er has admired and loved Long Aotian to the extent of madness. Many are aware of this," Lei Mingyuan explained.
"So, there's more to it," Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered with a peculiar gleam.
A vague plan began to form in his mind.
Using people as pawns was already a basic tactic for Jun Xiaoyao.
This Bai Mei'Er might also be a valuable pawn.
"Let's rescue her," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Hmm?" Lei Mingyuan was taken aback, filled with questions.
Having known Jun Xiaoyao for some time, he understood that Jun Xiaoyao was not a compassionate person.
The fact that he didn't take advantage of the situation was already decent, but now he was going to save someone?
It was as if the sun rose from the west.
Of course, Lei Mingyuan didn't comment; it wasn't his place to judge Jun Xiaoyao's actions.
"Although this maze is ancient, it's incomplete. If we find the breakthrough point, it's not difficult to break it from the outside," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He ascended into the air, searching for the breakthrough point.
With Jun Xiaoyao's immense Power of the Primordial Spirit, he swiftly found the breakthrough point with a sweep.
In no time, Jun Xiaoyao located the breakthrough point.
He raised his hand, Mana surged, ready to break the array.
Within the valley maze.
Bai Mei'Er had given up struggling, her body limp on the ground.
Her originally bright and beautiful peach-blossom eyes were now dim and lifeless, filled with despair.
"Why, Brother Ao Tian, I like you so much, why haven't you come to save me..."
Bai Mei'Er covered her face with her hands.
Unbeknownst to her, a dark and negative seed was planted in her heart.
The greatest sorrow is a dead heart.
Being abandoned is a painful feeling.
As Bai Mei'Er despaired and almost gave up hope.
Rumble!
The entire world shook.
In the dim sky, faint echoes of tremors were heard.
Bai Mei'Er lifted her face, her previously hopeless eyes suddenly trembled.
"Someone is here to save me; it must be Brother Ao Tian!"
Bai Mei'Er's previously despondent and hopeless face suddenly radiated with vitality.
Her lifeless peach-blossom eyes sparkled with unprecedented brilliance.
Just like before, at her most despairing moment, Long Aotian appeared like the True Destiny Emperor, saving her from despair.
From then on, Bai Mei'Er fell hopelessly in love with Long Aotian.
This time must be the same.
"Brother Ao Tian, I knew you wouldn't abandon Mei'Er!" Bai Mei'Er's heart was filled with immense gratitude.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud explosion, the dim sky split open.
The entire maze was broken open with a gap.
At the exit, infinite light surged, revealing a tall figure standing there.
Bai Mei'Er was overjoyed, her face excited, and even her eyes contained glistening tears.
"Brother Ao Tian..."
Bai Mei'Er took graceful steps, ascended into the air, and directly lunged toward the figure enveloped in endless radiance.
To her, this figure was her savior, her most beloved!
Bai Mei'Er extended her jade-like arms, hugged the figure, and buried her face in his chest.
The scent of the male was pleasant, fresh, and reassuring.
"Brother Ao Tian, Mei'Er won't leave you anymore..."
Bai Mei'Er's face pressed against his chest, murmuring with immense longing.
A gentle, elegant voice spoke.
"Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else?"
This voice caused Bai Mei'Er, immersed in happiness, to momentarily freeze.
It wasn't Long Aotian's voice.
Bai Mei'Er quickly lifted her face, seeing clearly the appearance of the person in front of her.
Upon seeing him, Bai Mei'Er froze, even her breathing seemed to stop.
Because the face in front of her was even more handsome than Long Aotian!
"How could there be such a beautiful face in the world?" Bai Mei'Er instinctively murmured.
The girls of the Celestial Fox Race were known for their love of beauty and appearances.
Bai Mei'Er had hopelessly fallen for Long Aotian partly because he saved her heroically but also largely because of his good looks.
Otherwise, if an unattractive person had saved her, the story would have been different.
When a handsome man rescues, the woman might wish to offer herself in gratitude.
When an unattractive man rescues, the woman might say she will repay the favor in the next life.
That line translates to: don't hope for anything this life.
In summary, it's a realistic outlook.
"You... who are you..." Bai Mei'Er, flustered and confused, hastily withdrew.
Yet her heart continued to pound, feeling a strange jolt.
Bai Mei'Er forced herself to suppress these unusual emotions.
"Are you okay, miss?" Jun Xiaoyao smiled gently.
Admittedly, that smile was lethal to women, stronger than any Great Divine Techniques.
Bai Mei'Er blushed, but asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"I am from the Jun Family, Jun Xiaoyao," Jun Xiaoyao said, unreservedly revealing his name.
"What... You are the Jun Family's Divine Son?" Bai Mei'Er was shocked, her expression changed dramatically.
She never expected that her savior in despair wasn't Long Aotian.
But Long Aotian's greatest rival, Jun Xiaoyao!
