Watching Mu Qingqing's fox-like swirling beautiful eyes, Ye Chen simply smiled.
The girl before him was completely different from Jiang Yao in character.
Jiang Yao was gentle like water, whereas Mu Qingqing had a sly look in her eyes; at a glance, one could tell she was a girl with many tricks up her sleeve.
"Let's go. Now that the matters here are settled, we shall head to the Tai'a Sword Sect," Ye Chen said to Mu Qingqing with a smile.
Though he had already decided to join the Heavenly Sacred Palace, having arrived at the legendary third-grade great sect, the Tai'a Sword Sect—and even if he wasn't looking for Elder Xiao Supreme Elder—Ye Chen still wanted to take a good look around the Tai'a Sword Sect.
At this moment, Mu Qingqing, evidently having finalized her cunning little plans, giggled and nodded to Ye Chen, "Let's go. Through the Misty Sea Forest and Tai'a City, and we'll be at the Tai'a Sword Sect."
Now that the two were on the same side, the eighteen Demon Kings summoned by Mu Qingqing using Diao'er would certainly not hinder Ye Chen anymore.
"It's been tough on you all; you can go back now," Mu Qingqing turned her small head and spoke to the ten high-ranking Demon Kings.
"Not at all, not at all."
"It's our honor to serve the great ones of the Heavenly Sacred Palace."
The ten high-ranking Demon Kings shook their heads repeatedly, and then their eyes swept over Ye Chen, "Little lad, you're lucky. From now on, you are a great one of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!"
The words of the ten high-ranking Demon Kings left Ye Chen somewhat bemused.
"It seems these high-ranking demon spirits hold the Heavenly Sacred Palace in high admiration!" Ye Chen felt inwardly.
Still, Ye Chen greeted the ten high-ranking Demon Kings with a smile.
Although these Demon Kings had tried to stop him, and the other eight mid-ranking Demon Kings even fought with him, there was no ill-will between them.
After bidding farewell to Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing, the ten high-ranking Demon Kings roared as they flew away.
Eventually, along with the other seven mid-ranking Demon Kings and the previously unconscious, now awakened Bear Demon King, they disappeared into the vast Misty Sea Forest and were completely gone from sight.
Seeing the Misty Sea Forest return to peace, Ye Chen's eyes also turned towards the endless forest behind.
"What is the Tai'a Sword Sect like," he wondered.
"And what about Elder Xiao Supreme Elder, who will recommend me? The strongest Supreme Elder of the Tai'a Sword Sect? A powerful being at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm? I haven't yet met a mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse."
Ye Chen's heart filled with anticipation for the Tai'a Sword Sect he was about to enter and the mid-stage Heavenly Saint strong Elder Xiao Supreme Elder he was about to meet.
Then, Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing continued to fly towards the end of the Misty Sea Forest, towards the direction of the Tai'a Sword Sect.
...
"Mu Qingqing, how can you fly so fast at such a young age? ..."
"What, Ye Chen, you are participating in the Spirit Sea Realm Swordfighting Tournament this time in the Central Region? The Spirit Sea Realm Swordfighting Tournament is a basic-level swordfighting tournament. The strong Sword Cultivators from those third-grade sword sects usually don't participate, but if you really want to join, I have a good idea..."
"Mu Qingqing, what kind of Spirit Beast is this little Diao'er? Why does it keep sleeping? Were those eighteen Demon Kings driven by it..."
"Ye Chen, how did you cultivate so powerfully in the Southern Territory..."
On the way, Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing chatted and asked each other questions, gradually learning a lot about one another.
It was as if he had consumed an Immortal Pill or some miraculous fruit!
If one were to actually go inside, presumably the exquisite culinary delights would be even more tantalizing!
"Ye Chen, this is the 'Heavenly Treasure Pavilion' I told you about. There are lots of delicious treats here, especially the 'Sword Fang Rice'—that's a unique and unparalleled delicacy in Tai'a City. I've been wanting to have it again ever since I tried it last time!"
By the end, Mu Qingqing seemed like a little glutton, nearly drooling at the thought.
Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing chatted as they walked towards the massive building known as the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
By this time, the snow-white mink Diao'er in Mu Qingqing's arms had vanished. Right after stepping into Tai'a City, Mu Qingqing whispered to the snow-white mink, which then flew directly towards the mountain gate of Tai'a Sword Sect behind the city to find Elder Xiao Supreme Elder.
Through his exchanges with Mu Qingqing, Ye Chen learned what the snow-white mink Diao'er was.
Mu Qingqing told him that Diao'er was a peculiar Spirit Beast that her grandfather had found on the Ice Palace Snowfield in the Extreme North. This Spirit Beast had a mysterious ability to command other demon beasts, with nearly all demon beasts below the Heavenly Saint Realm susceptible to its control.
As for Diao'er's own strength, it had reached the Heavenly Saint Realm, but because it was found in a frozen state on the Ice Palace Snowfield, it seemed to have regressed in its spiritual intelligence after being defrosted, resembling a newborn Spirit Beast. That was the reason why Mu Qingqing was able to establish a master-servant bond with it successfully.
Hearing that Diao'er hailed from the Ice Palace Snowfield in the Extreme North made Ye Chen pause in surprise.
This was the second time he heard of the Ice Palace Snowfield. The first time was when Heavenly Saint Long Xuan mentioned sensing the presence of Heavenly Saint Di Kong there.
A Spirit Beast that was at the Heavenly Saint Realm and could regress in intelligence after being frozen—this made Ye Chen grow even more curious about the Ice Palace Snowfield.
Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was an immensely large building. As soon as they entered, Ye Chen saw numerous sword-wielding cultivators enjoying fine foods within the pavilion.
When Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing stepped into the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.
These gazes, though, were almost all focused on Mu Qingqing.

At fourteen, Mu Qingqing was already exceedingly beautiful, not to mention her delicately perfect little face, and her full, enticing chest. Just her pair of long, straight legs alone made it hard for many to look away.
Moreover, the youthful vivacity and cunning in her eyes naturally emitted a charming and seductive air that easily captivated people.
Plus, coming from the prestigious Heavenly Sacred Palace, she had a very special aura about her, which held a mysterious allure for many disciples of various sects.
It was only Ye Chen, who was often in the company of Jiang Yao, who wasn't too concerned with Mu Qingqing's beauty, whereas others seemed powerless to resist such an enchanting young lady.
"Hehe, Ye Chen, everything in this 'Heavenly Treasure Pavilion' is quite expensive, and only powerful Martial Artists frequent this place," said Mu Qingqing, unconcerned by the scrutiny, as she pulled Ye Chen towards an empty seat.
Her charming voice made many go weak in the knees, and upon seeing Ye Chen next to her, quite a few felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"He's just a boy in the early stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, and yet he gets to be in the company of such a beautiful girl."
"I'm in the Rotating Pill Realm, and I don't have such good fortune!"
Many Martial Artists looked at Ye Chen with a mix of envy and jealousy.
Seeing their expressions, Ye Chen touched his nose in resignation.
This is what they covet and envy?
If they knew the girl who was truly with him was Jiang Yao, who was even more beautiful and graceful than Mu Qingqing, wouldn't they go crazy with jealousy?
Ye Chen just smiled and shook his head.
