Chapter 23: The Ninth Holy Princess (Part 1)

As the elders of the Nine Holy Demon Sect were momentarily speechless, Li Qiyi calmly said, "Since the matter here is settled, let your successor come out and meet us. In my eyes, no matter how heaven-defying a genius is, there's no need to be so pretentious!"

Li Qiyi's words made the elders exchange glances. A thirteen-year-old boy speaking such arrogant words, yet, the most astonishing thing was that when he said them, it seemed perfectly reasonable, leaving them speechless.

"Frost, meet Master Li," the Sun Demon Emperor finally spoke, issuing such a command.

When Li Shuangyan, the successor of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, appeared in the Heavenly Hall, she immediately caught everyone's attention, a beauty of the ages, leaving people in awe.

A young girl, at the age of thirteen, her appearance could be described as a masterpiece, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like the moon, and lips a deep crimson, captivating and enchanting. However, this girl, with a face that could make the city fall, was as cold as ice, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes. Dressed in white, she resembled a plum blossom standing proud in the snow, exuding a formidable aura.

Li Shuangyan, whose name matched her person, was the successor of the Nine Holy Demon Sect and could be considered the most beautiful woman in the Ancient Niujiang Kingdom. Moreover, Li Shuangyan's talent and Dao cultivation were not inferior to her beauty!

Born with a royal body, her life wheel was at the imperial level, and more impressively, her destiny palace was at the holy level, also known as a holy destiny! A young cultivator with a royal body, imperial wheel, and holy destiny could be considered an outstanding genius, with physical strength, talent, and insight all beyond reproach.

It was normal for such a heavenly beauty to be unwilling to marry Li Qiyi, who was the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, with an ordinary body, ordinary wheel, and ordinary destiny, especially since the Xianyan Ancient Sect had already declined.

Li Qiyi was not surprised by Li Shuangyan's extraordinary beauty and outstanding talent. Having experienced countless years and seen countless beauties, how many women could compare to the Water Fairy Empress and the Ice Feather Fairy Empress in terms of talent and appearance?

"Not bad—" Upon seeing Li Shuangyan, Li Qiyi lightly nodded.

Li Qiyi's first words made Li Shuangyan feel a bit of goodwill, but his next words made her want to explode. After a glance, Li Qiyi did not look at her again and said calmly, "To be my wife, you fall short. A holy destiny is indeed good, but I need a sword servant. Be my sword servant!"

"You—" Li Qiyi's words not only made Li Shuangyan want to explode but also made the other elders of the Nine Holy Demon Sect lose face. Li Shuangyan was not only their successor but also their pride, and they had high hopes for her. Today, Li Qiyi dared to speak such arrogant words, suggesting that Li Shuangyan be his servant, which was a blatant insult.

Before the elders and Li Shuangyan could explode, Li Qiyi said calmly, "I don't force anyone. Think about it. If you are willing, come to the Xianyan Ancient Sect to find me." As he said this, he looked at Li Shuangyan again.

Li Qiyi's words made Li Shuangyan's cold, icy face turn red with anger, her chest heaving. She had seen many arrogant people, but Li Qiyi was the first. More infuriatingly, Li Qiyi was just a thirteen-year-old boy, five years younger than her, yet he spoke to her with such an old and authoritative tone. This infuriated her! Everyone said children were cute, but today, Li Qiyi was the most hateful child in her eyes!

"You are too presumptuous!" An elder of the Nine Holy Demon Sect could not help but speak sternly. Their successor, a thirteen-year-old boy's servant? This was too outrageous and insulting to their sect's reputation!

"Opportunities are earned, and I have given you the chance. Whether you can seize it depends on your own destiny," Li Qiyi ignored the elder's words, glanced at Li Shuangyan, and then turned to leave.

Li Shuangyan's cold, icy face turned red with anger, her chest heaving. She had seen many arrogant people, but Li Qiyi was the first. More infuriatingly, Li Qiyi was just a thirteen-year-old boy, five years younger than her, yet he spoke to her with such an old and authoritative tone. This infuriated her! Everyone said children were cute, but today, Li Qiyi was the most hateful child in her eyes!

"Your Majesty, he has so humiliated our Nine Holy Demon Sect, he must not be let off easily!" An elder said indignantly.

However, the Sun Demon Emperor remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "A true dragon will eventually soar to the nine heavens, and a divine phoenix will eventually sweep the eight deserts! Whether he is a dragon or a phoenix, we shall wait and see!"

When Li Qiyi returned to his residence, Nan Huairen hurriedly approached and asked, "Senior Brother, how did your marriage to Princess Li go?"

In fact, even Mo Fuhua was looking at Li Qiyi. Given the Nine Holy Demon Sect's current emphasis on Li Qiyi and his passing of their test, they felt that the marriage between Li Qiyi and Li Shuangyan was still possible.

Today, the Nine Holy Demon Sect had formally invited Li Qiyi, and they all felt that it was to discuss Li Shuangyan's marriage.

"Marriage?" Li Qiyi looked at Nan Huairen calmly and said, "I never said I would marry her. If she is willing, I can take her as a servant."

"Serv... serv... serv... servant!" Nan Huairen stuttered, unable to speak for a moment, and was eventually shocked speechless.

Not just Nan Huairen, even Mo Fuhua was shocked speechless.

Who was Li Shuangyan? The successor of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, a heavenly beauty, and a princess of the Ancient Niujiang Kingdom. Although young, she was well-known in the Central Domain, with countless admirers.

Such a heavenly beauty, how many young men would dream of marrying her but could not? Today, Li Qiyi dared to speak such arrogant words, suggesting that she be his servant. Such a thing, if anyone else had said it, they would not even dare to think of it!

"Are you, are you out of your mind?" If it were before, Mo Fuhua would have scolded Li Qiyi, but now, he felt that he was a generation younger in front of this thirteen-year-old boy. The boy was too extraordinary, so Mo Fuhua did not dare to scold him as an elder.

"Just a woman, why make such a fuss?" Li Qiyi did not care and said this casually. Although Li Shuangyan was worth cultivating, she was far inferior to the Ice Feather Fairy Empress of the past!

Li Qiyi's arrogant words left Nan Huairen and Mo Fuhua speechless. Nan Huairen was completely stunned. Li Shuangyan, a goddess in many people's hearts, was now, in Li Qiyi's eyes, only fit to be a servant.

Nan Huairen looked at Li Qiyi as if he were a monster, unable to understand where this thirteen-year-old boy's confidence came from!

In the end, Li Qiyi completed the blood ritual with the Four Symbols Stone Man, and his mission was successfully completed. Therefore, he set off to return to the Xianyan Ancient Sect!

During this time, the elders of the Nine Holy Demon Sect did not show up again, and neither did Li Shuangyan. As for her plans, Li Qiyi did not care at all.

"Upon returning, how, how should we report?" Before setting off to return to the Xianyan Ancient Sect, Mo Fuhua hesitated and asked Li Qiyi.

Li Qiyi looked at Mo Fuhua and smiled, saying leisurely, "It depends on your choice, whether to stand by my side or by the elders' side."

Li Qiyi's words made Mo Fuhua's heart tremble. Li Qiyi spoke calmly, but the meaning was profound. Mo Fuhua was not a fool; he had seen many scenes and had become a protector.

At this moment, Nan Huairen also looked at his master. Nan Huairen was even more adept at reading people's intentions, more so than his master.

In this instant, Nan Huairen understood that not only he but also his master was at a crossroads. Li Qiyi's words meant that they either joined Li Qiyi or remained with the six elders.

If they were a hall master and a protector, their status in the Xianyan Ancient Sect was not low, especially Mo Fuhua, who was one of the twelve protectors, ranking just below the six elders! For a protector to join a newly admitted disciple, it sounded absurd.

Mo Fuhua did not speak, but in this moment, Nan Huairen felt a glimmer of hope, as if a door had opened before him.

"Master." Nan Huairen took a deep breath and softly called out to Mo Fuhua.

Mo Fuhua's heart trembled. He knew his disciple well, but this matter seemed too unrealistic. He, a protector, and his master, one of the six elders, joining a newly admitted disciple, was too absurd, unless he was crazy!

"I will follow your word!" Finally, Mo Fuhua took a deep breath and made the most significant choice of his life, a choice of great significance!

At this moment, Mo Fuhua felt as if he were crazy. He, a protector, and his master, one of the six elders, joined a newly admitted disciple and kept the matter a secret...
