Chapter 367 - 363: Stage Between

"Wu Baozhai?" Wei Wuyin’s mind stirred, his thoughts flitting through his interactions and impression of this particular woman. He had first seen her during the Wedding of Lin Ziyan, but had later met her officially during the gathering of youthful elites set to travel to the Myriad Monarch Planet. At that time, he had realized that her Primal Yin’s aura had been forged by a formation, signifying that she was no longer a virgin.

The first impression he had towards her was that she seemed noble, intelligent, and pride was innately branded into her very bones. She was the perfect image of a Princess of a country, embodying beauty, strength, grace, and nobility.

She was also fiercely confident, acting for her own interests in light of others’ apprehension. When they had officially met, she had openingly approached him before Long Chen and his bevy of stellarly gorgeous beauties. Her intentions were to ask about his Spirit Ton Elixir, and he could distinctly remember her stating that her actions weren’t for others to dictate, expressing her powerful freewill and independence.

He had always wondered what happened to her. She never ’felt’ like a woman that would depend on a man to rise, unlike Lian Yu and Na Xinyi. Even though they had inner desires for strength and status, it liked a certain dominant independence and cleverness that made women outstanding amongst their peers.

She was also very intelligent, perceptive, and cunning. With a few words before, she had obtained benefits for Na Xinyi outside of marriage. He recalled her eyes that were radiant with intelligence, discovering his intentions during Qing Qiumu’s execution. While she could be misunderstood as Long Chen’s backdrop, she felt more like the brains of the group.

He pondered briefly, ruminating over her desire for an audience with a pensive expression.Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)

Su Mei hadn’t expected Wei Wuyin to think about this so thoroughly. In her heart, she felt that Long Chen’s female companions had already embedded themselves too much in his life. There was Na Xinyi, Qing Qiumu, Lin Ziyan, Xiao Bing and Hong Ru. The latter two had already entered his Sky Palace and were diligently cultivating.

But observing them for a period, she felt their orientation wasn’t towards men. They were inseparable, and the way they acted and spoke to each other, looked at each other, were like long-lost lovers. Perhaps their separation by life and death had aligned their understanding of each other.

Regardless, she felt it would be better to simply dismiss all these women and directly end Long Chen. This was her opinion, but she would never deliberately interfere with Wei Wuyin’s wants. If he wanted to indulge in them sexually, then she would always and undoubtedly support him.

After a long while, Wei Wuyin finally lifted his head out of thought. "Bring her in. To the Main Hall," he instructed.

Wei Wuyin was intrigued, "Guardian of the Elements? Four Ways Elementus Knights?" He hadn’t heard of these Mystic Ascendants before.

Wu Yu carelessly explained, "the Guardian of the Elements was the Divine King Han Xei’s first cousin, having been propelled into the Mystic Ascendant Realm by the Divine King Han Xei’s continuous investments. The Four Ways Elementus Knights weren’t actual Mystic Ascendants, but those who’ve attempted and survived the tribulation, reaching a pseudo-state. They were very similar to False Realmlords. It’s quite strange actually. And I don’t have much understanding regarding that state, but it was definitely beyond the Mortal Limits and touched upon the Mystic Dao, even in failure."

Wei Wuyin was deeply interested, having learned of a stage between the Astral Core Realm and Mystic Ascendants. But due to Wu Yu’s own ignorance, he couldn’t satisfy that curiosity. Regardless, he decided to invest a little more into learning about it.

Besides them, he knew there were three other Mystic Ascendants: the Demonic Abyss Master, Sacred Elven Queen, and Yi Servant. The Yi Servant was the King of Everlore’s most trusted servant of the three, the Yi, Er, and San. He was said to have reached the Mystic Ascendant Realm, but there were also rumors that the King of Everlore never had a servant of that level.

He wondered if that servant had reached that False Mystic Ascendant Realm like the Four Ways Elementus Knights.

As he pondered about this, a jolt reminded him of his original question: "So the Wu Clan is descended from you? Are they your direct descendants or blood relation?"

"Haaa...I guess you’ll likely find out eventually, but they are direct descendants of myself and my wife, Junia, intermixed with my original blood-related clansmen." Wu Yu seemed to be somewhat exhausted at this reveal.

Wei Wuyin couldn’t figure out why. But he knew there was a complicated story, which once more made him ponder. "Is Wu Baozhai your direct descendant? A great-great-great-many great-granddaughter or something?"

"..." Wu Yu didn’t answer, but his silence was telling. It reeked of a hint of gloomy shame.

"..." Wei Wuyin couldn’t fathom why. After all, Wu Yu’s era was thousands of years ago, enough to cross dozens of Astral Core Realm generations. He shouldn’t have anything to be ashamed about. But his instincts told him that there had to be a juicy story there.

After a series of further attempts to gather the truth from Wu Yu, he heard multiple sets of footsteps as Su Mei walked in with Wu Baozhai in tow. Wei Wuyin couldn’t help but regard this black-haired princess once more, noting that her imperial majesty had mellowed yet she still had the nation-toppling looks and vixen-like body that could aflame any heterosexual male of any race.

When Wei Wuyin saw her crystal clear and intelligent eyes filled with careful observation, he couldn’t help but deeply admire this woman once more. Her appealing curvaceous body and delectable peach-colored lips aside, she felt like a threat. And knowing her intelligently clever side that hid her cunning, he knew she was one.

The question was: What did she want?
