Wang Lei looked amused by everything that was transpiring in front of him. He looked at the Golden Crow's Sect Master, who was akin to close to an erupting volcano.
Huo Rulie bȧrėly seems to hold his anger as he looked towards Xuanyin. Although Wang Lei did not know what kind of feud was between them, he sure that Huo Rulie had tremendous hate for Xuanyin.
He seems to want nothing but to tear her skin off. Not that he cared about it. He had already planned on giving Flame God Realm a visit. It did not bother him whether Xuanyin agrees on helping them or not; he will do it either way.
While gently rubbing his little empress's head, Wang Lei looked towards Xuanyin. She snickered and stated, "This King's sister's value is not comparable to some mortal star realm. You should be happy that she is a cure, or this King would have completed her promise and razed your star realm!" Her voice was neither loud nor low, but everyone felt their breathing stagnated when they heard her. Three Great Masters were no different.
"But…' Xuanyin trails her word as she stared at Huo Rulie, "This King does not mind killing that Horned Dragon!"
Her words stunned everyone; especially, the Three Great Sect Masters. They thought that she would reject them and they would have to beg for her help, but never had they thought that she would agree to them without many persuasions from them.
"Great! I knew that Snow Song Realm King is not a person that would keep stretching old wounds! Hahaha! This Yan is grateful for Snow Song Realm King's help!" The strongest of the three laughed heartily.
Xuanyin did not say anything and just gave Wang Lei a sidelong glance since he was the one who told her to accept their invitation.
Unlike in the original, where Xuanyin accepted their invitation so she can help Yun Che in his progress – she was not going to accept their invitation. But since Wang Lei was already planning to give it a visit, he did not mind using more civil methods.
"Don't be hurry to celebrate, Yan Wancang. This King has not completed yet." Realm King parted her cheery red lips, "Although this King will slay that Horned Dragon for you, this King has a condition. This King wants my…" Everyone listened to her with attention while Wang Lei stare at her. Xuanyin looked towards Wang Lei for a second, then at Phoenix and AnBai; a sigh left her mouth.
She gazed back at Yan Wancang with firm eyes and declared, "I want you to let my master and his wives train there!"
As she finished, complete silence takes over the whole Sacred Hall. All ten million members of Divine Ice Phoenix Sect and 'guests' from Flame God Realm looked at her with blank minds. There could not process what she just said.
Did she say her master? Didn't her master has died long ago? Then who is she talking about? Everyone looked at her with utter bafflement.
Xuanyin did not break her icy cold expression all this time. She thought about it a whole month; about being Wang Lei's maid. She already knew that she has feelings for him, and she definitely would not have the same feelings for someone else.
She was also sure that her body would not accept someone else either – courtesy of Wang Lei's punishment.
She thought since her ancestor herself felt proud of being Wang Lei's maid. Then she, who is just a Realm King of upper star realm, can also say that she is his maid. I mean, if people knew what miracles could Wang Lei do – Xuanyin was sure that her master would have a long line of suitors ranging from Lower Realm to King Realm itself!
Bingyun, who heard her sister was also shell shocked. Not because she has mastered, as she already was aware of her sister's relationship with the young dragon – she also felt jealous sometimes – but because her sister admits it in front of the whole realm.
She knew that this news, now known by all, would soon travel the whole Eastern Divine Region. It might bring unwanted attention to them, or it might destroy their realm's reputation.
Bingyun shook her head. It did not matter to her. She would firmly follow her sister, even if it means jumping in the mouth of an abyss!
The one who was most surprised by this development was the said master himself. Wang Lei looked towards her with a wide-open mouth. There are not many things in this world that could surprise him since he has read about many astonishing things already in his previous life; that's why even things like Heavenly Scriptures would not amaze him – he would only feel happiness.
But the declaration of Xuanyin was something he never believed. He knew what kind of stubborn girl she was. Wang Lei, after spending a whole month with her, knew that she would never bow to a man.
So, Wang Lei's surprise was even more so than others. He had thought that she would, at least, wait until he is stronger than her.

Far from the Sacred Hall, in the living chambers, a raven head was standing at the crystal building's top. Her beautiful hair flutters with the gentle gust of wind as her eyes gaze in the direction of Sacred Hall.
She was wearing a blue yukata and had another cyan haori with snowflakes design on her shoulders.
If there was anyone else who saw her, then he would have lost his mind in memorization of such beauty.
"Interesting. This girl is interesting." She said, particularly to no one.
"Why are you acting like the last boss, big sister? Did you finally get contagious by Miledi and Haulia Tribsman?" Suddenly, a young voice resounds in the surroundings. She was wearing white yukata with shades of blue and a golden haori over her shoulder – the same color as her hair.
The girl heard it and looked towards the blond vampire. A smile still adorned her face, although it did not look like one.
"You seem to learn how to joke, Yue. Come here, let big sister teach you a little more about it," she said gently, but a chill passed through the blond vampire's spine.
Yue stiffly smiled and said, "I will go back and wake everyone up, so no thank you," She said and vanished from her spot without wasting any moment. The last thing she wanted was to get educated by this raven head.
Qingyue sighed and looked back at the Sacred Hall, but this time her gaze was on a little girl on Wang Lei's ŀȧp. Who knows what she was thinking or scheming right now.
---
"…Ugh, can you repeat what you just said, Realm King?" Yan Wancang asked, not understanding what she just said.
"Do you want this King to repeat herself?" She looked towards him with a cold gaze.
"No, no, no! What I meant was, who is this prestigious personage that you call your master? They must be a great persona in the God Realm." Yan Wancang explained, trying not to anger Xuanyin.
"Humph! You do not need to know who he is for now. Once the time comes, you would know it already!" She said.
"If that is what Realm King wants then we can only compile." Yan Wancang smilingly said.
Wang Lei, who came out of his shook, grinned looking towards Xuanyin. Though he did not show it much, he was quite satisfied by Xuanyin's declaration.
Rubbing his chin, he thought, 'Well, I think it is time that I gift her for her hard work.'
Xuanyin, felt an itch at her crotch when she felt her master's stare. But her poker face hid it well.
"Now that everything is done for what you came for, you can leave. I won't escort you out." Xuanyin stated. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She was quite shy with her early declaration.
"Ah! Yes!" Yan Wancang exclaimed, "Please accept this gift that we have brought with us Snow Song Realm King."
Xuanyin did not bother looking at it, "Feixue, take it."
Feixue was a woman of little words; she nodded and took the box from the Vermilion Bird's Sect Master's hands.
Yan Wancang temple twitched, but he did not say anything.
"Then I will also go. Yawn~, I was quite bored, but Yinyin really made my day." Everyone's attention diverted towards the young dragon, who stood still hugging his empress like a pushy.
There was no expression on Caiyi's face, but damn she looked adorable with her little physique.
(A/N: I am definitely not a lolicon, just to clarify that. And I know 'you' are about to comment on it, but I am saying again, I AM NOT A LOLICON!)
"Wait! If you want to leave, then leave. But leave Caiyi behind, she belongs to Flame God Realm and not Snow Song Realm!" Huo Rulie stated. He still wanted to take Caiyi back for his disciple, who was still staring at Caiyi silently.
Wang Lei raised his brow. He looked towards him and was about to say something when Caiyi beat him to it.
She left Wang Lei's embraced and flew into the air, looking down at Huo Rulie, "You seems to have misunderstood this empress, Sect Master Huo Rulie. This empress never accepted any sect's invitation, so how can this empress be part of your realm?"
Huo Rulie sneered, "Whether you have select any Sect or not, it is none of our concern. But you have trained at our Flame God Realm, using its resources. That makes you a member of Flame God Realm. Now stop this pointless talk and come back with us!"
Xuanyin and Wang Lei listened to it quietly. They had no plan to interfere with them. Not that they did not care, but because they knew Caiyi could take care of it herself.
"Humph! Though this empress admits that she used your realm's resources, but that still not make this empress a member of your realm. As for the resources…," Caiyi waved her hand, and a sword was thrown in front of Huo Rulie and Three Sect Masters. There was also a small bottle of blood floating near it.
"This is Golden Crow's Sacred Sword and Six drops of Origin Blood of Phoenix that this empress found at the bottom of God Burying Inferno Prison, giving by… clone of Fire Phoenix! With this, this empress owns your realm nothing!" Caiyi finished her part without much change in her emotion. As if what she did was insignificant.
But the same could not be said for the 'guests' of Flame God Realm. As they heard that she has reached the depth of God Burying Inferno Prison, they were shocked, to say the least.
"Yo-You reached the bottom of God Burying Inferno Prison?" Huo Rulie asked with astonishment.
Caiyi raised her brow, "So what if this empress did?"
All three masters suċkėd a deep breath. They looked at each other and sighed before going to one knee, "We greet Realm King Caiyi!"
"Eh?" Caiyi, for a second, could not understand what was going on.
The same was for Wang Lei and Ice Phoenix Sect disciples, but Xuanyin, Bingyun, elders, and palace masters knew what was going on. They knew that whoever made it till the end of the God Burying Inferno Prison would become the Realm Kind of Flame God Realm, so it was not surprising that they bowed to her.
Thought of her never reaching the end did not cross their minds as they could feel blood connection with the sword and the blood, it was enough for them to know that she has reached the end of God Burying Inferno Prison.
Caiyi looked towards Wang Lei as she did not know what to do in this situation. She was totally blank as to what was happening.
"Well, sorry to disappoint you guys, she cannot become your Realm King." His low voice was heard by everyone.
Yan Wancang frowned and asked, "And what do you mean by that?"
Wang Lei smiled, "Well, what can I say…she is my wife, and I know she does not like to become some random star realm's king."
"Insolent! You! Are you calling our Flame God Realm any random realm?!" Huo Rulie barked.
"If your ears are not working wrong then that's is what I have said." Without any change in expression, the young dragon replied.
"Young man, you should control your tongue more or you will never know when you are killed." Yan Wancang said. He was the calmest of all, but even he could not take the insult that Wang Lei was showing towards their realm.
Wang Lei nodded, "Indeed, but I can ȧssure you that it will not be you."
Huo Rulie had enough of Wang Lei's disrespect. He looked towards Wang Lei and examined his strength. Seeing that he was in the middle stages of Soul Realm, Rulie said, "A puny Soul Realm like you have lots of intestines (guts…) I see. Let me teach you how to show respect, Junior!"
He vanished and appeared above Wang Lei, with his fist burning with Golden Crow's flames – melting its surroundings.
Wang Lei did not move and watched him coming towards him, "Junior Brother!" Xiaolan shouted seeing Wang Lei was about to be killed by Rulie. She might be the only one who was worried about him.
But just as Rulie was about to hit Wang Lei, a sudden cold ȧssaulted him – he was launched backward and landed back to his initial position.
He coughed blood and looked towards Wang Lei and saw Xuanyin standing before him, "You seemed to have lots of gut to attack the people of this King in front of her!"
Three Sect Master's felt terror crawled down their spin when they felt Xuanyin pressure. They were astonished as they could tell that her strength has increased, and by a large margin at that.
Of course, they could as Xuanyin has broken into 9 of Divine Master realm while training with Xue.
"Calm down, Realm King! Brother Rulie did not mean to anger you, but even we cannot take disrespect shown to our realm! Will you remain calm if we were to call your realm any random realm?!" Yan defended Rulie.
Though what he said was right, Xuanyin did not care. In her eyes, or every cultivator's eyes might makes right. If you are strong, then you can decide who lives and die. Since Wang Lei and she was strongest here, then what they said was right.
"Humph! Say that when you have enough strength to back it up. If you are weak, then you are just any other star realm!" Xuanyin said.
Though, if compared overall strength of Flame God Realm and Snow Song Realm, then Flame God Realm beats it by a large margin. But the simple existence of Xuanyin – a level 9 Divine Master – makes it stand stronger than the most upper realm. Without her, Snow Song Realm could have only been a middle-star realm.
When three masters heard her, they gritted their teeth since they knew what she meant.
Yan looked toward Wang Lei, thinking for a while, he said, "How about this Snow Song Realm King? Why don't we let our younger generation fight with each other and let them solve the problem, while we older generation stays out of it?"
Xuanyin's gaze becomes colder than anything as she gazes towards Yan Wancang and said, "Who are you calling old?!"
She knew she was quite older than Wang Lei; it really made her sour, and Yan Wancang had to sprinkle salt at it.
"Even if you are old hag, you will still be my Yinyin." She heard a slight whisper behind her that deflated her anger like a balloon. Instead, a slight blush took over her face.
The voice was, of course, Wang Lei's. He cannot let his maid feeling sour about her age, now can he? In the end, he was a Primordial entity. For him, age was just a number and nothing else.
Everyone looked at her with a confused expression. At one second, she was angry and was about to beat the shit out of Yan Wancang, and at the other, she is blushing like a maiden in love.
Only Bingyun, Xiao Xue, and AnBai knew what was going on. They felt bitter in their hearts, but there was no change in their expression.
"Very well, then. We will go with the middle-aged dude's suggestion. But you disciples are too weak for me to personally make a move. He can fight with my maid, and if he can defeat her, or at least touch her, then I will entertain you."
Saying his part, Wang Lei went back to his throne and beckons Caiyi to sit on his ŀȧp that she does gladly.
"AnBai, take care of it." He said while going back to cuddling with his cute empress.
Rulie never in his wildest dream thought that there would come a day when he would be this much insulted by a teenager. Not only him, but other sect masters had the same thought. If not for Xuanyin, they would have lunged at Wang Lei and tear him to pieces.
Elders sighed seeing this, "He is asking for his doom. Even if Realm King protects him today, he will be killed once he leaves Snow Song Realm."
"Too arrogant and ignorant." Another added.
"Good! Then we will go your way! Yun'er! Go and take care of it." Rulie said to his disciple, whose mind was still in chaos about what in the hell was going on. They came for the help of Snow Song Realm King, but everything has become such a mess that he, himself, does not know what is going on at this point.
But still, when his gaze landed at the Caiyi, who was enjoying Wang Lei's touch – a fire burned in his gaze. He proudly walked in the center of the stage and looked towards Wang Lei, "Come and fight me like a man!"
"I am not fighting for a woman or anything. Sho~ sho~, do not disturb me, and do the match with my maid. In the first place, I have long lost my dignity when I accidentally watched hėntȧɨ of Mil-tan."
Poyun becomes angry hearing him, though he did not understand the last part. If only he knew…
AnBai gracefully walks in the center of the stage as her silver hair dances with the wind, making her look ethereal. Now that everyone closely looked at her, they suċkėd a deep breath seeing her beauty.
She was definitely on par, or even higher than their Realm King. Every man looked towards Wang Lei with hate and jealously and wondered what all these girls saw in him. He was just an arrogant young master!
But then their eyes fell upon Xue, who took AnBai's place and was serving him. They almost had their nose bleed, seeing a girl even more beautiful than their Realm King. They had to say, if they could take Wang Lei's position, then they would not mind losing their dignity.
Wang Lei ignored all the hateful stares that were being thrown at him. He even enjoyed the feeling of everyone feeling jealous of him.
---
"He seems to be having fun." Golden Crow said as she watches the event unfold. She was not wearing her usual clothes; instead, just like every girl, she was also wearing a yukata. It was a black yukata with different mythical creatures designed on it. She also wore a black haori over it.
Tio breath heavily, "If only he would play with me like that~,"
Tio was wearing her usual clothes as her usual clothes were yukata, to begin with. The only addition would be black haori over it.
Golden Crow and Phoenix silently looked at her with a blank face. They wondered how a dragon can act like this, and Primordial at that. Aren't they known for their pride and dignity? It was the last thing they could see on Tio.
"What is big sister Qingyue is doing?" Yue said as she looked towards Qingyue, who was talking about something with Frozen Fairies, Feng Xue'er, and Chu sisters.
"She is acting really weird these days…just this morning, she was acting like the last boss of a story…" Yue said, suspicious of her big sister.
Golden Crow, Phoenix, and Tio, who had more experience with Qingyue, did not reply to her inquiry. Instead, they were quite grateful for the girls that took her attention. They could only pray for them.
---
Poyun looks at AnBai, who was silently standing at her place without making any form of movement. He could feel that she was at 1 of Divine Tribulation Realm, but she was still weaker than him by a large margin who was at 5 of Divine Tribulation Realm.
Three masters narrowed their eyes when they saw that she was at Tribulation Realm. It really made them confusing.
They could see that Xuanyin's direct disciple was at Divine Soul Realm while a maid of Wang Lei was at Tribulation Realm?
"Make your move. I do not want other people to think that I am bullying a junior." AnBai said with her stoic face.
Poyun temple twitched. It was obvious to see that she was younger than him, who was 24. Well, it was not his fault as Wang Lei's every girl's age was regress back to 18 by him. He will not break the doctrine of eternal 18.
"Then please take care of me," Poyun said before attacking her.
He did not use Golden Crow's art, thinking he may hurt her more than necessary. His control over fire was a magnificent sight to see as fire dances the way he requires it to be.
He looked towards AnBai, who had no change in her expression, and released a torrent of golden fire in her direction.
Everyone could feel the destructiveness of the fire, even from miles away. It melts not only the snow but even burned the ground as it reaches close to AnBai, who still had no change in her.
She silently looks at the incoming fire, and it vanishes. Everyone became startled. Especially, Poyun and Rulie, who knew the destructiveness of Golden Crow's flames.
Poyun was the closest to them all, and even he could not understand what just transpired. His attack just vanished in thin air.
"Please hurry as I have to go back and serve the master." AnBai, with her emotionless voice, said.
Poyun frowned, hearing her. He could tell that she did not even consider him in her eyes, just like her master.
Poyun was not a man who will become angry over the taunts of his opponent but felt wrong when he looked at Wang Lei and Caiyi.
"Then you should be prepared!" he said, and this time, he holds nothing back.
A huge amount of energy releases from his body as it covers everything within 10 miles under its clutches. Cultivators weaker than him felt their hearts being squeeze by the pressure. It was a good thing that elders and master off-set the energy on their own.
The surrounding temperature kept on increasing without any indication of it stopping anytime soon. Divine Ice Phoenix Sect's disciple started to feel uncomfortable. They trained in ice arts; it was obvious that they were not used to such a high temperature.
Poyun's energy starts to change into golden flames, surrounding him. He looked like a God of Flames as he stood in the center of the fiery storm.
His energy started to gather and formed and gigantic sword above him. Without blinking an eye, he released that sword towards AnBai.
<Golden Annihilation>
AnBai raised a brow and thought that he was not half bad, but – she raised her finger and points it at the sword. Just like before, the sword vanished in thin air, as if it never existed, to begin with.
This weird phenomenon made everyone looked towards AnBai. They were all wondering just what kind of profound art she was using, whatever it was – it was definitely heaven-defying.
"Hm, you should realize that you are too weak. Thinking of fighting my master with that little strength of yours is just a pipe dream. Go back to your sect. Become a Divine Master before even thinking of challenging master again." Her cold and emotional voice was heard by everyone. It made Poyun grit his teeth with frustration. He never felt so insignificant in his whole life.
His already suffocating energy increased even more as he looked at AnBai. Two miniature suns formed inside his eyes, making anyone who looked at them shivered.
100 miles of temperature was increased above a thousand degrees and was still increasing. Elders and palace masters hurriedly sheltered the weaker disciples of the Ice Phoenix Sect under their energies.
An enormous sun was created above in the sky, melting the snow with thousand miles into moisture.
It was good that Xuanyin has used her energy to create a barrier, or it would result in causalities.
"Oh~, isn't this the last stage of little Crow's art?" Wang Lei said, amused.
This was the first time he was seeing someone able to use it except him and Caiyi. Really makes him surprise.
"Please admit defeat Miss AnBai. Or I do not what might happen to you if I release <Nine Suns Heaven's Fury>." Poyun persuaded her, already thinking that he has defeated her. Since his attack could even mortally hurt a late-stage Tribulation Realm expert!
AnBai sighed, "Since you cannot see the difference between Heaven and Earth, then let me show it to you." She said and points her finger at him, "<You never received the legacy of Golden Crow>"
Of course, she was not using <Word Magic>, but <Appearance Manipulation>. Using it, she removed the time when he received the inheritance of Golden Crow. She could only use it on someone that was weaker than her or has not received complete inheritance like those of King Realms. But it was still a powerful ability.
She was sure that once she regained her previous powers or even the top of mortal strength – Divine Master Realm. She could easily dominate the current Primal Chaos.
Poyun felt his power leaving his body. A moment later, he fell on his knee as he felt powerless lamb ready to be a slaughter.
He tried to run his energy inside his body but felt as if there was not even a single connection with Golden Crow left in his body.
"What did you do to him?!" Rulie shouted when he felt the connection of Golden Crow's Bloodline removed from Poyun's body. He could not understand.
He hurriedly appeared before Poyun and checked his veins. His power erupted like a volcano as he looked towards AnBai, "What did you do to him?!"
"I removed his bloodline from his body. Now he should understand, going against master is foolish and only death awaits those who do."
"You…erased his bloodline? Don't spot bullshit woman!"
How could Rulie believe it easily? If AnBai has touched him, then he might believe that she has done something to him. But throughout the whole fight, she just spoke. How could she remove something that should not be able to be removed?
Poyun when heard, felt his stomach crunching. Even if Rulie didn't believe it, he could tell that what AnBai has said was the truth since he could not feel an ounce of Golden Crow legacy inside him anymore.
"Don't play with them, AnBai. Look, that kid is about to cry if you do not give him his legacy back." Wang Lei said as he was getting bored.
AnBai bowed towards Wang Lei, "As master wishes." With the fall of her words, Poyun again felt his power coming back. Though he was happy, he felt dejected, remembering AnBai's words.
{There is the difference between Heaven and Earth between you and master. Know your place. You need to be at least Divine Master to even thinking of challenging him.}
