Chapter 627 Yan Rumeng Returns the Favor
At this moment, the natural holy spirit of the Holy Spirit Island, Mo Jinyu, had a cold indifference on his sculpture-like handsome face.
"I want to see if that Jun Xiaoyao dares to come to the Tai'e Temple," Mo Jinyu's tone was cold.
Jun Xiaoyao had killed and refined his follower, the Stone Spirit of Heaven, in front of everyone at the auction.
This was simply not taking him seriously.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had a powerful background, great origins, and strong abilities.
Mo Jinyu didn't care.
He came from Holy Spirit Island, a similarly formidable immortal power that should not be provoked.
Plus, their Holy Spirit race was naturally favored by heaven, each one being invincible among peers.
Therefore, Mo Jinyu was not afraid of Jun Xiaoyao, and even had thoughts of settling scores with him.
"With the Holy Spirit race's peer-invincible might, it would be no problem for Young Master Mo to deal with that Jun Xiaoyao," Hu Qingqing flattered with a seductive smile.
Although in her heart, she didn't believe that Mo Jinyu could easily handle Jun Xiaoyao.
But the appropriate flattery still needed to be said.
"Even if Jun Xiaoyao is at the Great Perfection of Sage level, even if he were at the Sage King level, I wouldn't care."
"With my current strength, even when facing a late-stage Sage King powerhouse, I can escape with ease."
Mo Jinyu's tone was indifferent, yet carried a hint of pride.
After reaching the Sage realm, fighting across levels was a very difficult thing.
But their Holy Spirit race could accomplish it.
Hearing this, Hu Qingqing took a deep breath, her full bosom rising and falling as she exclaimed in admiration: "With Young Master Mo's cultivation at the Great Perfection of Sage level, you can actually escape from a late-stage Sage King's hands, truly worthy of being from the Holy Spirit race."
Hearing Hu Qingqing's flattery, Mo Jinyu smiled faintly without saying anything.
However, if they knew that Jun Xiaoyao had killed the Flame Snake General at the half-step Great Sage level, who knows what their expressions would be?
"By the way, those snake people don't seem to have come to attack us," Hu Qingqing noticed another matter.
"Our Holy Spirit race has no grudge with the snake people, and they don't dare to provoke us actively," Mo Jinyu said.
The snake people had deep hatred toward human and other races, almost attacking humans on sight.
But they had no grudge with the Holy Spirit race and didn't dare to easily provoke them.
"Choosing Young Master Mo was indeed the most correct decision this servant has made," Hu Qingqing smiled charmingly.
Now she felt that choosing Mo Jinyu was quite good.
At least when going to the Tai'e Temple, they wouldn't encounter any obstacles.
She believed that Jun Xiaoyao and Tiannu Yuan would probably face waves of attacks before even reaching the Tai'e Temple.
And indeed, that was the case.
The starship carrying Jun Xiaoyao and his group did encounter several waves of attacks while heading to the Tai'e Temple on the Tianming Ancient Star.
But with Jun Xiaoyao present, it was no problem.
He didn't even need to appear personally, just setting up a killing formation outside the starship that instantly killed all the attacking snake people.
Jun Xiaoyao's group was leisurely sitting inside the starship.
"Thank you for this time."
Yan Rumeng looked at Jun Xiaoyao and said sincerely.
She truly couldn't imagine what her fate would have been if she hadn't met Jun Xiaoyao.
"It's nothing," Jun Xiaoyao said.
His relationship with Yan Rumeng wasn't very deep, but after several encounters, they weren't strangers either.
Helping this time was purely coincidental.
If the Flame Snake General hadn't courted death by attacking Jun Xiaoyao's starship.
Jun Xiaoyao might not have even noticed Yan Rumeng.
"Regardless, I owe you one," Yan Rumeng said.
"Oh, then what will you use to repay me?" Jun Xiaoyao asked casually, sitting in his chair.
Hearing this, Yan Rumeng seemed to recall something, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on her perfectly beautiful face.
Then, she suddenly moved, twisting her slender waist and sweeping her jade leg toward Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao instantly raised his hand, catching Yan Rumeng's porcelain-like slender leg, and revealed a surprised expression: "What are you..."
"Do you remember our first meeting?" Yan Rumeng suddenly asked softly.
Jun Xiaoyao naturally remembered.
It was in the lower realm, when they were still on opposing sides.
At that time, Jun Xiaoyao had also caught her leg like this, asking about her true form.
Back then, Yan Rumeng thought Jun Xiaoyao was a devil.
Who would have thought that with the passage of time, the two would now have this kind of relationship.
"Would offering myself be enough?" Yan Rumeng suddenly bit her full, moist red lips, unclear whether she was serious or joking.
Jun Xiaoyao was stunned, then shook his head with a light laugh: "To be honest, the attraction isn't that great."
"You..." Yan Rumeng's jade face reddened, then she gave Jun Xiaoyao a coquettish glare.
"You wish, I was just joking, and you took it seriously."
Although Yan Rumeng said this, a barely noticeable dimness flashed in her eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao saw it but said nothing. Instead, he pinched Yan Rumeng's slender leg and smiled faintly: "By the way, I've always had a question, what is your true form?"
This question, Yan Rumeng had never answered him.
Asking about a demon's true form was like asking a woman's age, it was taboo.
"With such long and beautiful jade legs, your true form couldn't be a crane, could it?" Jun Xiaoyao speculated.
Yan Rumeng glared at Jun Xiaoyao, pouting coquettishly: "You're the crane! My true form is the Heavenly Dream Butterfly."
"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao revealed a surprised expression.
He had heard of the Heavenly Dream Butterfly, an extremely powerful being.
It could rival the Ancient Emperor Butterfly and the Heaven-splitting Demon Butterfly.
Legend had it that once, a Heavenly Dream Butterfly flapped its wings and all living beings on an entire life-bearing ancient star fell into a dream state, unable to break free.
This was definitely a supreme being, mastering the way of dreams.
No wonder Yan Rumeng's name contained the character for "dream."
If a Heavenly Dream Butterfly grew to maturity, it would definitely become a supreme demon emperor.
Thinking of it this way, it made sense that Yan Rumeng possessed the Demon Emperor physique.
"But why do I feel that you haven't manifested the abilities of a Heavenly Dream Butterfly?" Jun Xiaoyao asked puzzledly.
"That's because I haven't fully awakened yet, I need a supreme bloodline as a catalyst," Yan Rumeng explained truthfully.
Then, she glanced at Jun Xiaoyao and said: "How about giving me a few drops of Primordial Sacred Body blood?"
"You're dreaming," Jun Xiaoyao said decisively.
Primordial Sacred Body blood wasn't common cabbage; it was very damaging for Jun Xiaoyao to refine it.
The blood he obtained from auctions also had its uses, and he couldn't possibly give it to Yan Rumeng.
However, after learning that Yan Rumeng's true form was the Heavenly Dream Butterfly, Jun Xiaoyao did have thoughts of recruiting her.
"How about abandoning the Demon God Palace and joining my Jun Imperial Court?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
"If you can conquer Little Demon, the entire Demon God Palace could join your Jun Imperial Court," Yan Rumeng said.
Then, she looked deeply at Jun Xiaoyao: "Of course, if you can help me find a supreme bloodline to awaken, joining isn't impossible."
Her true intention wasn't to join the Jun Imperial Court.
Nor was it to obtain a supreme bloodline as a catalyst.
Rather, she wanted to be closer to this man who sometimes angered her, yet whom she couldn't let go of.
