Chapter 272: Eighth Prince’s Price

Jiang Lan stood behind Xiao Yu and watched her turn around.

Although she said that she was in a bad mood, she still had a smile on her face. It was just that her eyes were a little lonely.

Ever since he entered seclusion to cultivate, he had reached the late-stage True Immortal Realm in thirty years, and then spent another twenty-five years to reach the perfected True Immortal Realm.

A total of fifty-five years had pa.s.sed.

He had been in the sect for 365 years.

It had been a long time.

He had been engaged to his Senior Sister for more than two hundred years.

In the past, they would meet once every three years. Now, they meet once every few months.

In the past, it was a fair trade, but now there was no need to talk about it.

In the past, he kept his distance. Now, he was used to getting closer with her.

“Is it related to the Dragon Race?” Jiang Lan asked.

After spending a long time together, he naturally preferred the happy Xiaoyu.

The dragons had just arrived. It should be because of them.

After a while.

“I didn’t grow up in the Dragon Palace so I’m actually not familiar with my mother.”

Xiao Yu sat on a rock and swayed her legs as she spoke with a relaxed expression.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly. He roughly understood Xiao Yu’s situation.

She had been sent to Kunlun from a young age, so she should have been a sacrifice for some kind of deal. She had never felt any strong kins.h.i.+p.

However, her mother had now come to Kunlun and she needed to meet her and greet her as a form of formality.

In the past, Xiao Yu did not take it to heart. She was fine with meeting her mother.

It was just that she felt a little disappointed.

Family members were different from ordinary people.

She had a different expectation of her mother.

And the main purpose of the Dragon Race’s visit this time should still be the Eighth Prince.

The last time they failed was because they couldn’t reach an agreement.

Perhaps, to the dragons, the price they had to pay was too high.

“Senior Sister, do you want to go out for a walk?” Jiang Lan asked.

Xiao Yu stopped moving and looked at Jiang Lan in surprise.

Then, she moved and landed in front of Jiang Lan, reaching out to tap the s.p.a.ce between Jiang Lan’s brows.

“You don’t have any inner demons,” she said with a strange expression.

Jiang Lan: “…”

He felt offended by his Senior Sister.

He didn’t pay much attention to it, but he spoke again.

“Senior Sister, do you want to go out?”

“Should I change and become normal?” Xiao Yu asked.

She naturally could not reject her Junior Brother’s invitation.

Jiang Lan shook his head and said softly.

“This appearance is good.”

The normal Xiao Yu was used to suppressing herself. She could not smile even when she went out.

“Junior Brother, please lead the way.” Xiao Yu stood beside Jiang Lan, waiting for him to lead the way.

He had been in the sect for 365 years, and it had been 77 years since he advanced to the early-stage Void Refinement Realm.

Therefore, on the surface, his hidden cultivation had advanced by one stage.

His hidden cultivation was at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm, and his surface cultivation base was at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm.

“Junior Brother is at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm?” Xiao Yu asked as she watched Jiang Lan unleash his power.

But she did not ask for the details.

She did not want to exert pressure on her Junior Brother.

However, she would definitely make a guess.

If she did not gauge what realm her Junior Brother was at, what if he suddenly told her that he had secretly become an immortal one day? She would be at a loss.

She was still suppressing her cultivation to wait for her Junior Brother.

Jiang Lan executed his Loneliness spell and brought Xiao Yu out of Kunlun.

“Yes, it’s still a bit far from Senior Sister’s cultivation.” Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

He planned to visit the inn. The Eighth Prince had mentioned that he had been working there recently.

It seemed like the youth and the young phoenix weren’t around.

…

…

“The Dragon Race isn’t here for the G.o.ddess?”

Liu Jing asked in the Kunlun Main Hall.

Three people from the Dragon Race had come.

The leader was a beautiful woman in blue.

She sat on a high chair, her aura was astonis.h.i.+ng, not inferior to Zhu Qing and Miao Yue.

She was the G.o.ddess’ mother, Ran Jing.

A very powerful true dragon among the dragons.

A dragon that could give birth to an innate immortal was naturally not bad.

Beside her were Ao Li and Ao s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who had visited Kunlun previously.

Their strength were naturally impressive.

This lineup for a visit to Kunlun could be said to be the largest in history.

As for Kunlun, it had always been the few summit leaders.

“Longyu is used to living in Kunlun. She might not be used to it when she returns, so we naturally won’t force her. The child’s happiness is the most important.” Ran Jing explained before continuing.

“I’m here to meet Long Yu and give you people a reminder.”

“Reminder?” Liu Jing asked curiously.

Zhu Qing frowned. If this person saw Xiao Yu, it was hard to say what would happen.

She naturally knew that this person was Xiao Yu’s biological mother. She could easily bring trouble.

Miao Yue only listened without speaking.

Jiu Zhongtian continued drinking. He was only in charge of taking action.

In the main hall, there were only four Kunlun summit leaders.

The First and Ninth Summits did not need to partic.i.p.ate in these matters.

The Fourth and Sixth Summits did not want to come out at all.

The Seventh Summit was the hardest to find.

“Yes.” Ran Jing looked at Liu Jing and said softly.

“For some reason, the demons have started entering Kunlun. Although their cultivation is not high, they have the support of an extraordinary expert. There is currently no harm done to Kunlun.

But they must have come here for something. In fact, they must have a ridiculous plot, but their whereabouts were uncertain. Other than being a source of trouble for Kunlun, the most important thing is their scheme. This thing might be near Kunlun and it will bring extraordinary trouble to Kunlun.”

“Then does the Dragon Race know what this thing is?” Liu Jing tried to ask.

“We don’t know.” Ran Jing shook her head.

“In some areas, we are inferior to the demons, so we can only roughly know what the demons want to do. We have no idea what the exact details are. So I’m just reminding you. The rest is nothing. We just want to stay here for a while to accompany Longyu.”

“The importance of the G.o.ddess to Kunlun exceeds our expectations, so we don’t plan on taking Long Yu back. There’s always someone who needs to compromise. We dragons are not unreasonable people. We’ve managed to get her mother to come in person through our discussions. I wonder if Kunlun has any difficulties with this arrangement?” Ao Li asked.

“Then you guys can live on the Third Summit for now.” Liu Jing turned his head and said to Zhu Qing.

“Junior Sister, see if the G.o.ddess is free. When the time comes, explain the reason.”

“Alright.” Fairy Zhu Qing nodded.

It was impossible for them to reject Xiao Yu’s biological mother’s request.

Perhaps Xiao Yu wanted to see her too.

“Thank you.” Ran Jing stood up and thanked them

After Zhu Qing led the people from the Dragon Race away, the hall regained its calmness.

“Not a word about the Eighth Prince.” Liu Jing frowned.

Everyone knew that the Dragon Race did not come for the G.o.ddess, but for the Eighth Prince.

However, Ran Jing had only mentioned about the daughter she had never raised and not the son she had personally raised.

This made them unable to offer a price.

The last time, the price was too high. Hence, the Dragon Race left with a flick of their sleeves.

This time, they seemed to have given up.

“No rush.” Miao Yue’s voice carried a faint smile:

“The dragons aren’t in a hurry, so we naturally aren’t either. They just don’t understand the importance of the Eighth Prince. It seems like their progress is slow. They’re completely inferior to the demons.”

“The demons are coming, and the Netherworld Entrance is about to erupt. It should be a very troublesome matter.” Jiu Zhongtian put down the wine and said.

“The little girl of the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race has stayed in the inn for so long. It’s more or less a deliberate move by the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race. They are also very troublesome. However, in the end, they still have to pay a sufficient price to us Kunlun.” Miao Yue said softly.
