[D: "Deathdealing"]

The next day, in the morning, Cang Yue, had already woken up at this time. As she opened her eyes, all she felt was a slight tearing pain. Then, the soreness of her body reminded her that what happened yesterday was not a dream.

At her movements, Jean woke up and smiled at her.. "Good morning, Sunshine. You know that it's too damn early, right?"

"Uuu…" When she saw the completely nȧkėd male body in front of her and her similarly undressed body, Cang Yue let out a cry that sounded like that of a small animal and hid her body into the blankets.

"Today is our first day as a married couple. We shall pay respects father earlier today… I… Shall I help you wear your clothes first?"

"You take me for an handicapped person?" Jean chuckled and stood up from the bed. She shook her head in an hint of embarrassment and said. "N-No, it's just…"

"Don't worry, you can consider this my first proper wedding, it's not like it went that good with Xia Qingyue…" Cang Yue giggled and started to take some clothes from a wardrobe, before helping Jean wearing them.

Later, Jean returned the favor and helped her dress up. After that, they went to the main hall of the palace, and greeted the Emperor.

"Jean Dennell pays respect to Father-in-law."

"Yue'er pays respect to Father."

Cang Wanhe slowly nodded and smiled. "Jean'er, now that I have handed Yue'er to you, I feel completely reassured. Especially since you two love each other. This cannot be more perfect. Yue'er's mother would also rest in peace in heaven. After 3 days, you need to remember to go pay homage to her mother."

"Yes, I'll do so." Jean answered with a firm nod.

Cang Wahne's expression then turned serious. "Jean'er, yesterday was your big day so some words were better left unsaid. Today however, I must say that you were really rash. Yesterday's incident will bring huge repercussions. The strength of the Divine Phoenix Sect is far beyond your imagination.

Even if our four major sects were to combine together, they would not be comparable to even one of the branch sects of the Divine Phoenix Sect. Their heritage and legacy are so vast that it is comparable to that of the sacred grounds. 

Furthermore, there were so many people present. Although we have warned them, we cannot be certain they would not divulge this matter, or even spread it to the public. If this matter were to really spread… Divine Phoenix Sect would definitely attempt to kill you."

Jean held a calm face and said. "I know, for this incident, I hope that the Emperor could forgive me, it's just that some things took control of my reason and I started… That.

However, what I said yesterday can't be any more true. As long as the opponent isn't at the 10th Sovereign Profound Realm, I am 100% confident that I can beat them.

I am sure that the Sacred Grounds have some people at that realm, but I don't think that the Divine Phoenix Empire does. Besides, I will also participate in the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament, if they try something wrong with me…

...Father-in-law might consider of expand his territory."

Cang Wanhe felt a chill on his back at the last sentence, but he still managed to smile. "If that's so then I feel ȧssured, but please, don't go around to intentionally cause troubles, it might cause… some problems…"

Jean nodded, then he pondered for a bit. "Father, do you know what is the Primordial Profound Ark?"

Cang Wanhe let out a yearning expression. "It is a mystical existence. It is shaped like that of a gigantic flying ark and its size is nearly as big as the entire Blue Wind Imperial City."

"HUGE!!" Jean almost yelped in surprise.

"Nobody knows what it actually is, or where it came from. The name Primordial Profound Ark was given by the Divine Phoenix Sect. Since a very very long time ago, it had already begun to appear above the Divine Phoenix capital. It is exceptionally high away from the ground and that height was only achievable by an Overlord.

Every time on the last day before it disappears, many strong profound practitioners would try to board the Profound Ark to search for treasure. However, since the numerous times in the past, it has always ended in failure."

"Treasures?"

"Within the Divine Phoenix Sect, there is a special branch sect in charge of searching for treasures from all over the world. It has been rumored that every time the Primordial Profound Ark appears, the spirit stones that the branch sect use to search for treasure would give off a bright gold light. 

Some of the stones would even break apart. Such strange observations undoubtedly prove that there are unimaginable treasures on the Ark!"

"Amazing…" Jean murmured and held an excited expression, he could smell huge profit from here to 5 months in future.

"Jasmine, you know anything?" He whispered to the Sky Poison Pearl. 

"I have indeed seen a profound ark so large that it's bigger than an imperial city, but a profound ark that repeatedly appears and disappears over time, hmph, that's the first time I've heard about it before. I am quite interested in this "Primordial Profound Ark" that this emperor is describing." This is the answer he got.

Jean nodded and then said. "Well, now that there isn't much to do, and no way in hell I will go to another journey… I guess I might visit Xia Yuanba now..." After all, he just activated his Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins.

"Alright, then I won't hold you two for longer." Cang Wanhe nodded as Jean and Cang Yue walked outside of the imperial palace. As soon as they made 10 meters outside, Jean stopped and gazed upwards.

"Jean Dennell." A feminine voice echoed above him, then surprisingly Chu Yueli and Xia Qingyue descended in front of him.

Cang Yue's eyes met with Xia Qingyue's for a moment before they both shifted their gaze. Xia Qingyue's icy eyes looked to be a cold field of eerie calmness. Cang Yue's expression however, was far more complicated.

After all, Cang Yue can be considered as a junior in front of Xia Qingyue. Then, she greeted them. "Chu fairy, Xia… fairy."

A strange atmosphere surrounded Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue. Chu Yueli slightly raised her brows and went straight to the point with Jean.

"Mr. Dennell, other than coming here to attend you and Princess Cang Yue's wedding, the two of us have come here for another matter."

Jean opened his ears wide and listened. "Our Grand Palace Mistress would like to meet you."

"...Alright, you genuinely surprised me now." Jean said after some seconds to register what she said.
