The next day.
A beam of purple light shot out from Shengjing City, heading north.
On the Purple Cloud Boat.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, your peach blossom wine is ready," Xiu'er said as she gracefully approached.
Xia Ji, who had been reclining on a soft couch, opened his eyes wide, got up and stretched lazily. He took a sip of the peach blossom wine, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled his mouth.
"Where are we staying tonight?" Xia Ji looked outside; the sky was gradually darkening.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we may have to stay in Hanjian City tonight."
Before Xiu'er could respond, A Da hurriedly took over the conversation.
Xia Ji nodded without saying much, but Xiu'er seemed displeased. She wrinkled her delicate nose and let out a soft huff, falling silent.
"Where did Su Xiaosan go?"
Ever since he learned about Su Xiaosan's identity as a royal Tomb Guardian, Xia Ji had grown closer and relied on him even more.
A Da was about to speak but hesitated, worried that he might offend Xiu'er again like before. Just as he was about to step forward, he withdrew his foot.
"What are you looking at me for? Don't you know to report back to the Crown Prince?" Xiu'er shot A Da a big eye roll and said irritably.
"Uh." A Da almost stumbled, "Is Lord Su Xiaosan outside sweeping?" Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to...?"
"Forget it, let him sweep," Xia Ji waved his hand dismissively.
Abandonment to Achievements Method can only pass on power and memories, but enlightenment requires the inheritor to comprehend it themselves. In other words, sweeping the floor is Su Xiaosan's path. One just needs to keep sweeping, and eventually, there will come a day of transformation.
The Azure Cloud Flying Boat landed outside Hanjian City, and the passersby dared not make a sound until Xia Ji and the others completely entered the Fragrant Pavilion. Only then did a chorus of discussions arise among the men and women behind them.
"It's Crown Prince Jing!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome!"
"I heard that when His Highness the Crown Prince first showed his talent, he already ranked twenty-ninth on the Dragon and Tiger List. Truly worthy of being our Northern Yan Dynasty's unparalleled genius!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is truly exceptional; at such a young age, he is already a Fusion Realm powerhouse. It's really awe-inspiring!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is really good-looking, hmm~"
" fuck you! If you keep acting flirtatious, tonight I’ll make your legs tremble!"
"Oh, come on! Let's hurt each other! You silver spear wax head, do you think I'm afraid of you? I just have one thing to say: 'I dare you to make my legs tremble!'"
The discussions gradually took a turn…
Xia Ji and the others had just finished a hearty meal.
Boom!
Lightning danced like silver snakes, rendering the void pale white.
"Su Xiaosan, what's going on? Why is there thunder all of a sudden?" Xia Ji frowned and asked.
In the Xuanhuang Great World, extreme weather rarely occurs. Generally, in such situations, it’s either due to demonic creatures causing trouble or powerful beings engaging in magical battles.
"I don’t know either," Su Xiaosan shook his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "It’s probably because some Heaven-Defying Object has appeared."
Su Xiaosan's emotions rarely showed a hint of worry; such extreme weather affecting such a wide area must mean that the Heaven-Defying Object is quite powerful.
"A Da, you hold my seal. Contact the City God and ask what's going on," Xia Ji said as he took out a gilded gold foil from his waist, covered in swirling runes, with a mysterious halo flashing continuously. He dismissed the others and turned to leave.
Su Xiaosan pouted, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
The City God is a deity appointed by the Northern Yan Dynasty, with relatively low combat abilities. Their usual responsibility is to assist the Northern Yan Dynasty in constructing a humanitarian legal network and monitoring the world. However, looking at this anomaly, it seems that the monitoring capabilities of the humanitarian legal network might be weakened by eighty or ninety percent.
Whether the City God can find out why this Heaven-Defying Object exists and its exact location remains uncertain.
"Alright, everyone go back and rest. We still have to continue our journey tomorrow," Xia Ji waved his hand and said.
Inside the room, heavy rain poured outside, and dazzling lightning struck, making one's eyes ache.
Thud!
A small, drenched kitten jumped onto the windowsill, trembling for several seconds before falling to the ground with a thud, almost motionless.
Xia Ji slowly walked over and poked the kitten with his finger.
"Meow~" The kitten whimpered, filled with an indescribable sorrow.
Xia Ji lifted one of the kitten's hind legs and discovered a delicate pink seam between them.
Oh, so it's a female cat!
"You little thing, you're quite unique."
"Forget it, seeing your pitiful state, I'll save you this time." Xia Ji formed his fingers into a sword and touched the little cat's forehead, a stream of golden light surged into the little cat's body.
"Hmm? Still not working?" Xia Ji noticed that the little cat seemed to have suffered severe internal injuries, its organs nearly shattered, and his expression turned strange.
If someone were to tell him this was an ordinary little cat, he would spit in their face!
"Since you want to absorb, then go ahead and absorb as much as you want," Xia Ji said. However, a talisman quietly shifted from his spatial ring to his chest.
That was a life-saving token given by the National Master when he failed to take on a disciple; even a full-force strike from an ordinary Divine Bridge Realm expert couldn't break it.
If this little cat were truly that powerful, it wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
"Huff—" Xia Ji gasped for breath and eventually collapsed onto the ground.
"This little cat..." When Xia Ji turned to look at the little cat, his mouth dropped open wide enough to fit an egg.
The once small cat had transformed into a stunningly beautiful Cat-Eared Girl, completely unclothed.
"Gulp—" Xia Ji's Adam's apple bobbed as he nearly bit his own tongue.
