Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Previously, when Bai Mei'Er emerged from seclusion, she had already heard of the enmity between Jun Xiaoyao and Long Aotian.

Jun Xiaoyao had once killed Long Aotian's brother, Long Haotian.

Moreover, the Desolate Ancient Royal Family and the Ancestral Dragon Nest had always been age-old enemies.

It could be said that Long Aotian and Jun Xiaoyao were already in a death-doomed enmity.

Because Bai Mei'Er had feelings for Long Aotian, she instinctively saw Jun Xiaoyao as her enemy as well.

But now, Bai Mei'Er could never have imagined.

The one who saved her was not Long Aotian, but Jun Xiaoyao.

It was a bit absurd.

Bai Mei'Er instinctively distanced herself from Jun Xiaoyao, with a hint of wariness in her beautiful eyes.

Even though Jun Xiaoyao was very handsome and at this moment had a calm and gentle expression, showing no hostility at all.

Bai Mei'Er still instinctively felt wary.

After all, she belonged to the Ancient Royal Family, strictly speaking, on the same side as the Ancestral Dragon Nest.

"Such wariness from a lady is truly a bit disheartening," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with slight regret.

Between his handsome brows, a faint trace of melancholy appeared, enough to break anyone's heart, with a desire to soothe his furrowed brows.

Bai Mei'Er also felt somewhat inappropriate.

No matter what, Jun Xiaoyao had saved her after all.

Her attitude was simply like accepting a favor while being ungrateful.

"Young Master Jun, why did you save me?" Bai Mei'Er's attitude softened slightly as she asked.

"Does saving someone need a reason? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, helping others is a virtue, why not help?" Jun Xiaoyao replied.

These words left Lei Mingyuan, who was watching from the side, dumbfounded and speechless.

Just a moment ago, Jun Xiaoyao, seeing Bai Mei'Er trapped in the valley, was all prepared to leave with a flick of his sleeve, not bothering about her life or death.

How did he become so righteous now?

It was as if the light of justice had shone upon the earth.

But the problem was, just a few days ago, Jun Xiaoyao had slaughtered hundreds of Celestial Prides who sought to uphold justice.

Although he wanted to remark, Lei Mingyuan wisely kept his mouth shut.

"So Young Master Jun is so righteous." Bai Mei'Er was slightly moved.

To be honest, Jun Xiaoyao truly exceeded her expectations.

Bai Mei'Er, originally because of Long Aotian, was very hostile to Jun Xiaoyao.

But now, upon looking at Jun Xiaoyao, not only was he elegant and unparalleled, but his demeanor was also gentle and indifferent, completely unlike what she had imagined.

Previously, those maids from the Celestial Fox Race told her how handsome and powerful Jun Xiaoyao was, but Bai Mei'Er didn't believe it.

She thought there was no man in this world more perfect than Long Aotian.

But now, Bai Mei'Er couldn't say such words anymore.

Because Jun Xiaoyao indeed surpassed Long Aotian in every way.

Especially the aura emanating from Jun Xiaoyao, which made Bai Mei'Er feel oppressed.

Jun Xiaoyao's aura was more profound and unfathomable than Long Aotian's.

"So the rumors about the Jun Family's Divine Son are all true…" Bai Mei'Er whispered to herself.

Previously, she thought these were exaggerated rumors, but now, seeing it with her own eyes, it was undoubtedly true.

"Since the lady is fine, I shall take my leave." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Leaving just like that?

Bai Mei'Er was stunned.

Was Jun Xiaoyao really not seeking any reward?

"Young Master Jun, are you aware that I am the Celestial Maiden of the Celestial Fox Race and have connections with Long Aotian?" Bai Mei'Er couldn't help but ask.

She thought Jun Xiaoyao might not know her identity.

"So what? You are you, he is he. I clearly distinguish between grievances and would not use such a beautiful woman like you to threaten Long Aotian," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao call her a beautiful woman, Bai Mei'Er's charming face turned slightly red imperceptibly.

Being praised by such an outstanding man, Bai Mei'Er couldn't help but feel a trace of joy.

The unpleasantness with Long Aotian seemed to diminish significantly.

"Young Master Jun's character is admirable. If you weren't at odds with Brother Ao Tian, we might have even become friends," Bai Mei'Er stated.

"Why not?"

Jun Xiaoyao smiled warmly, then extended one finger, suddenly pointing at Bai Mei'Er.

Bai Mei'Er's pretty face changed rapidly, thinking Jun Xiaoyao was about to suddenly attack her.

Instead, Jun Xiaoyao's finger touched her chest, sending waves of warm flow into her body.

"You consumed considerable mana inside the Maze, your body is weak; consider this my bit of benevolence."

After replenishing her mana, Jun Xiaoyao withdrew his hand.

Bai Mei'Er's charming face was slightly flushed, bowing her head, feeling her chest slightly numb and very comfortable.

"Thank you, Young Master Jun, I shall take my leave."

Bai Mei'Er left directly, though her departing figure carried a hint of fluster.

Watching Bai Mei'Er's departing back, the smile at the corner of Jun Xiaoyao's mouth gradually receded.

In place of it was a cold and playful expression.

"Lord Divine Son, why did you…" Lei Mingyuan hesitated.

Though he knew he shouldn't ask, Lei Mingyuan couldn't but be curious.

"Do you know what the strongest divine technique in this world is?" Jun Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

After pondering for a moment, Lei Mingyuan replied, "Is it Supreme Technique, Great Emperor's Legacy, or the legendary Immortal Scripture?"

"Wrong, none of them." Jun Xiaoyao smiled, shaking his head.

"Then what is it?" Lei Mingyuan was curious.

"Controlling hearts is the most powerful divine technique," Jun Xiaoyao said.

He raised his hand, slowly closing his five fingers.

Bai Mei'Er was already trapped within his palm.

She could only obediently be used and manipulated by him.

Just like Bai Yu'Er and Wu Mingyue before.

Using human hearts as tools, controlling the whole situation, toying with enemies, this feeling was very delightful.

Seeing the change in Jun Xiaoyao's demeanor, Lei Mingyuan clicked his tongue.

This guy, calling Jun Xiaoyao a movie emperor would be an understatement.

"Lord Divine Son, what should we do next?" Lei Mingyuan asked.

"Wait for her to come back to me. Also, my clothes are dirty; I need to change." Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.

"Clothes are dirty?" Lei Mingyuan looked over.

Jun Xiaoyao was dressed in white, as pure as snow, never tainted by a speck of dust; how could they be dirty?

Suddenly, Lei Mingyuan recalled that earlier, when Bai Mei'Er was rescued, she seemed to have hugged Jun Xiaoyao.

Realizing this, Lei Mingyuan looked in the direction Bai Mei'Er had gone, a trace of pity in his eyes.

This Bai Mei'Er truly was just a tool indeed.

On the other side, having left Jun Xiaoyao, Bai Mei'Er's heart still hadn't settled down.

"What's happening to me?" Bai Mei'Er touched her cheek with her jade hand, feeling slightly warm.

Honestly, if she hadn't met Long Aotian first, Bai Mei'Er might have truly fallen in love at first sight with Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao was indeed a flawless person, almost without any defect.

But Bai Mei'Er wasn't someone so easily swayed.

"People say my Celestial Fox Race is flirtatious and fickle, but I, Bai Mei'Er, am not like that."

"Although Young Master Jun is nice, he remains Brother Ao Tian's enemy, and I, Bai Mei'Er, will never betray Brother Ao Tian." Bai Mei'Er affirmed in her heart.

Even though this time Long Aotian hurt her feelings.

Yet Bai Mei'Er was still willing to give Long Aotian a chance.

As long as he still cares about her.

Thinking of this, Bai Mei'Er decided to tell Long Aotian about her encounter with Jun Xiaoyao.

This was also considered being honest with Long Aotian.

It's just unclear how Long Aotian would perceive this matter.
