A person who was showy and relished in displaying his abilities!

This was Jiang Yi’s first impression of Little Eagle King. If normal young masters and young mistresses could be said to be like treasured sabers that remained sheathed, Little Eagle King was like an unsheathed, peerless treasure sword that was so swift and fierce that it made one’s heart palpitate.

A full head of green hair with two small horns on his head, the Little Eagle King had sharp brows and a tall nose. His eyes were like that of eagles and were so sharp that people did not dare to look directly into them. He was extremely tall and well-built, his aura extraordinary. If one did not look at him and only felt his aura, he might think the Little Eagle King was more like an overbearing sword that was so domineering that no one could defeat it!

However, this domineering and flaunting character of the Little Eagle King felt particularly normal to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had finally understood what it meant to be formidable. For someone of the Little Eagle King’s caliber to be adored by the young mistresses of the Demon-Killing Pavilion was also nothing strange. His airs were overpowering, and it did feel as if the whole world revolved around him.

Di Ling’er’s face blushed slightly as her eyes were filled with infatuation. Mo Huaisang’s eyes also revealed a sliver of emotion. Suddenly, many pretty and beautiful young mistresses all appeared at the entrance to the castle. All of their eyes were filled with a certain pa.s.sion and fire.

Yi Buhui, Jiutian Wen, and other guys all exchanged glances as they looked on helplessly.

Whenever the Little Eagle King was present, their glamour seemed to be entirely covered. However, although the Little Eagle King’s airs were overpowering, no one actually detested him for that. In fact, many felt that this person had been born to be the sun while they could only be the stars accompanying him.

Yi Buhui went forward to receive the Little Eagle King. He was full of envy as he greeted respectfully, “Little Eagle King, I have heard you had realized quintessence and are about to take the final step? My congratulations!”

“Quintessence?”

This sentence created a commotion once again. Many people at the entrance of the castle started to talk among themselves. Hearing this word, everyone’s eyes could not hide their envy and jealousy. If the Little Eagle King had really realized quintessence, that meant that it was only a matter of time before he became a King-Ranked martial artist. Once he reached the King-Ranked Realm, he would experience a meteoric rise; and his strength would increase by a hundred- or thousand-fold. He would become one of the few absolute formidable martial artists in the Earth Domain.

Little Eagle King’s sharp gaze looked about as he did not reveal any expression on his face. He did not smile even slightly, and he looked extremely cold and cruel. He nodded slightly and said indifferently, “It was a stroke of luck!”

“Wow!”

A huge commotion broke out. Little Eagle King had admitted that he was about to enter the King-Ranked Realm; this made Yi Buhui and the others feel even more dejected as it felt like history was repeating itself. Their parents’ generation had been suppressed by the Green Eagle King; now, their generation was going to be pressured by the Little Eagle King.

Xiaonu is not here?

Jiang Yi, however, did not care about all these. He did not bother with how strong the Little Eagle King was. He looked behind the Little Eagle King and saw some accompanying young masters and young mistresses. However, as he did not see Jiang Xiaonu, Jiang Yi felt a little dejected; he even wanted to leave right now.

“Come on in!”

Little Eagle King was born with a flair for leaders.h.i.+p. While this place was the Saint Spirit Domain and Yi Buhui was supposed to be the owner of this place, the Little Eagle King had given the command to enter. However, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with such; and all followed him inside. Di Ling’er walked a few steps and seeing that Jiang Yi had not moved, she hurriedly dragged him, saying, “Let’s go! Inside!”

Jiang Yi could do nothing but follow along. There was a huge central hall inside, and it was filled with white-jade benches. There were at least a thousand of them, and they all formed into circles. Maidservants were bringing everyone to their allocated seats according to their status and rank. Little Eagle King, Mo Huaisang, and the others were all seated in the first row while even Di Ling’er had to be placed in the second row.

As for Jiang Yi… he sat in the last row!

A group of young masters and young mistresses started to indulge in loud and empty talk. They were talking about politics, about the Netherworld Realm, various mystic realms, and strange occurrences. Jiang Yi listened for a while and soon lost interest; he just sat there obediently. Even when a young master struck up a conversation with him, Jiang Yi did not bother much with him. That young master also ignored Jiang Yi from then on.

Jiang Yi ate with gusto, however. The dishes being presented were very precious and rare. Many spirit fruits were good for strengthening one’s soul spirit and physical body; he was not going to stand on formality. As the conversations around him continued, Jiang Yi more or less understood the hierarchy at today’s banquet.

The Little Eagle King was obviously number-one in terms of might and status; he sat in the middle. However, he did not speak much and was very cold and cruel.

After the Little Eagle King were Yi Buhui, Mo Huaisang, and company. They were all descendants of the bigger domains’ sovereigns. However, as there were both big and small domains, the young masters and young mistresses from the Top Ten Domains spoke with much confidence and authority. The young masters and young mistresses from the small domains could only listen and occasionally interject to say something flattering.

Shh-shh-shh!

After five minutes, footsteps could be heard outside as a martial artist from the Phantom Race entered briskly. He reported to Yi Buhui, “Young Master, Lady Qingchen has arrived!”

“Oh?”

Yi Buhui’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly stood up. Countless young masters also stood up and turned towards the entrance. The Little Eagle King, however, did not move—though his sharp gaze did turn to the entrance. Mo Huaisang and the other young mistresses’ eyes grew dim.

Young Mistress Qingchen?

Jiang Yi was just eating with much fervor. He heard this name and vaguely felt it familiar. He blinked his eyes as he continued to eat as much as he could. Jiang Yi’s head only lifted when Yi Buhui’s laughter rang out as another set of footsteps could be heard.

Uh… it’s her?

Jiang Yi was slightly dazed. No wonder he felt the name familiar. This Young Mistress Qingchen was the Qingchen Battle G.o.d that he had encountered in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. When she had teleported away, she had even said her name was Qi Qingchen, right? She owed him a favor as well?

This lady seems pretty welcomed?

Jiang Yi saw that many young masters’ eyes were fiery with pa.s.sion as many young mistresses’ faces were dejected. If the Little Eagle King was the sun that overshadowed the glow of Yi Buhui and the other young masters, Qi Qingchen was the bright moon that covered the beauty of Mo Huaisang and the other young mistresses.

Qi Qingchen was indeed pretty. However, if one talked about looks, she was not that much prettier than Mo Huaisang and the others. Although everyone had their fortes, Qi Qingchen made people feel like she was the brightest pearl.

This was something that Jiang Yi did not understand. He thought for a moment and asked the young master next to him softly, “Who is this young mistress? Why is she so popular?”

“You don’t know her?”

The young master at Jiang Yi’s side was already not very happy with Jiang Yi. Hearing Jiang Yi’s question, he said mockingly, “She is the only daughter of the Wintry Sovereign; the future Wintry Sovereign! Furthermore, it seems like four days ago, she reached the King-Ranked Realm; that news had shaken the entire Earth Domain!”

“King-Ranked!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Qi Qingchen in disbelief. She didn’t look that old, and yet she had already reached the King-Ranked Realm? In the entire Earth Emanations Domain, only the Earth Emanations Sovereign was King-Ranked; there were also only a small number of King-Ranked formidable martial artists in the entire Earth Domain, right?

Jiang Yi had some impression of the Wintry Domain. It was the third-ranked domain in the Earth Domain. It was one ahead of the Earth Emanations Domain that ranked fourth.

A Sovereign’s only daughter and also someone who had reached the King-Ranked Realm; whoever married this la.s.s would essentially get the Wintry Domain as well, right? No wonder she was so popular that even the Little Eagle King would steal a few glances at her periodically.

Qi Qingchen was surrounded by people. However, she did not say much. She only politely smiled and replied to all the banter and idle chatter. Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone present, and when they reached Jiang Yi, she suddenly lingered for a moment. Her eyes then brightened. At this moment, Jiang Yi felt as if all his secrets had been made known to this young mistress.

The Silver Demon Mask was very magical. If one was not a King-Ranked formidable martial artist, he would not be able to detect Jiang Yi’s real looks and his soul spirit aura. However, Qi Qingchen had reached this level already!

Not good!

Jiang Yi hurriedly lowered his head. He had come here to be a pa.s.sive observer this time; Mo Lingqiu had instructed him multiple times not to reveal his ident.i.ty. It would be bad if Qi Qingchen saw through his cover.

He had to think of something.

When Yi Buhui invited Qi Qingchen to sit between him and the Little Eagle King on the same white-jade bench, Qi Qingchen actually smiled faintly and said, “I’ll just sit there!”

After speaking—under the watchful gaze of everyone present, Qi Qingchen walked to the white-jade bench on Jiang Yi’s side, looked at the young master seated next to Jiang Yi, and asked, “This young master, could we swap seats?”

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Everyone’s gaze looked over, first on that young master and then on Jiang Yi.

If there was nothing wrong with Qi Qingchen’s brain, then… Jiang Yi was in deep trouble now!
