Chapter 1539: Frogs in a Well

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Jialan Emperor Palace was extremely majestic in appearance and the experts within were as numerous as the clouds.

Jialan Monarch didn’t question Beiming Youhuang and Qin Wentian after he brought them here. On the contrary, he politely arranged a banquet to host them both.

During the banquet, Qin Wentian even met Jialan Mingyue’s mother. Her mother was a very beautiful woman that looked about thirty plus years of age. She actually was also an immortal emperor expert. Every frown and smile of hers could stir the hearts of people but when she glanced at Beiming Youhuang, her eyes flashed with a deep meaning. Instinct told Qin Wentian that she was on her guard against Beiming Youhuang.

“Beiming Youhuang, regardless of your demeanor or cultivation base, they are both extraordinary. After some time, the nine monarchs will gather and head towards the Lifire Palace. At that time, I’ll bring you along. The Empyrean will definitely admire you and at that time, I’ll ask him to give you a title as my protector. At that time, there’s no longer a need for you to be an unaffiliated cultivator. You can enjoy cultivation resources every year.” The Jialan Monarch smiled, as though he had completely forgotten the issue of bandits and only wanted to recruit Beiming Youhuang.

An immortal emperor expert, and such a beautiful immortal emperor. Who would not want to recruit her? Even if she had some misunderstanding with his daughter, it was just a small issue. As long as Beiming Youhuang became his person, all minor matters naturally can be forgotten. As for Qin Wentian...the Jialan Monarch didn’t even spare a glance at him. action

Beiming Youhuang’s eyelashes fluttered. Her gaze was still cold as she replied, “Thank you for your kind intentions. It’s just that I just exited the mountains and I still wish to roam about first for now.”

“Youhuang, becoming my protector doesn’t mean that your freedom would be restricted. At that time, I’ll let you do whatever you want to do.” The Jialan Monarch waved his hand, clearly showing his intent to recruit Beiming Youhuang. How would he let her escape from his palm? As one of the nine monarchs, the Jialan Monarch naturally wasn’t a simple character.

Qin Wentian inclined his head and drank. He could already tell that if they reject this, the other party definitely wouldn’t release them. In fact, they might even directly claim that Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang were bandits.

“Senior sister, since the monarch regards you so heavily, why don’t you head to the Lifire Palace together with him? It isn’t too bad to become a protector.” Qin Wentian interjected. The Jialan Monarch smiled when he heard this as he cast a glance at Qin Wentian.

“However, Monarch, the two of us aren’t that clear about matters regarding the external world. Is the status of unaffiliated cultivators really that low?” Qin Wentian asked.

“The Lifelong Realm is the territory of the Lifelong Realmlord. All the cultivation resources are controlled by his subordinates and hence, in this territory, the Realmlord has absolute authority. Regardless of sects or clans, all of them have to submit to him before they can gain some authority and power. As for unaffiliated cultivators, there is no lack of people like this.” The Jialan Monarch laughed. He didn’t state openly on how much contempt people usually have for unaffiliated cultivators.

Earlier, Qin Wentian already understood some things from Jialan Mingyue. He could deeply sense how powerful the hegemon of a realm was. This was completely different from the peak powers in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Naturally, this also has something to do with cultivation resources. In comparison, the cultivation resources in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms were considered very little. Also, from the words of the Jialan Monarch and his daughter, they seemed to place a very heavy emphasis on cultivation resources.

“Youhuang, what do you think?” The Jialan Monarch laughed.

“Let me consider it. However, I don’t mind going along with Monarch to pay my respects to the Lifire Empyrean.” Beiming Youhuang also wished to see what sort of character the lord of the nine monarchs was. Could the Lifire Empyrean really be an ancient emperor? After knowing how strong the Lifelong Realmlord is, Beiming Youhuang sighed silently in her heart. The Azure Mystic Immortal Realms were truly too weak in comparison.

After the banquet ended, the Jialan Monarch told Jialan Mingyue to bring Beiming Youhuang and Qin Wentian to roam Jialan Emperor City. This city was naturally named after the Jialan Monarch. Not only so, once someone took over his position, the city’s name would change to match with the newly appointed Monarch as well.

The emperor city was very large. Also, the construction materials for the buildings in the city were all extraordinary in nature. Qin Wentian actually tried attacking it, but given his current cultivation base, he couldn’t even leave a scratch behind on the buildings. From this, one could see how tough the foundations of the city were. According to Jialan Mingyue, the vast majority of the buildings here in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, are all constructed using immortal-grade meteor stones, king-grade meteor stones and emperor-grade meteor stones. The more powerful an emperor city is, the more valuable its construction materials would be.

In fact, the entire city seemed like a terrifying cultivation formation, brimming with law energy. For some of the palaces of those powerful characters, they were precisely constructed with an imbued grand formation, purposely suited for their cultivation. Ordinary commoners wouldn’t even have the qualifications to stay in the emperor city. Every building was worth its weight in gold and for visitors, they can only spend sky-high prices to stay in an inn or to rent a space.

Hence, inside this emperor city, just a glance would fill one’s entire vision with countless immortal kings. Even for those with weaker cultivations, their elders must definitely have some strength for them to be able to come in here.

And because of this, there were many jobs in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. For example, formation master, building construction, trading in materials, etc... This place was truly exceedingly prosperous.

Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang roamed the shops. Every transaction used immortal-grade or king-grade meteor stones. As for them, they were pitifully poor. They also saw the crystal ball used by Jialan Mingyue earlier for sale. However, they could only look at it as they weren’t able to afford it.

Upon seeing the smiling look in the eyes of Jialan Mingyue, Qin Wentian felt somewhat embarrassed.

As time passed, the two of them came across an elegant lake, with many decorated dragon boats floating around. There were also many pavilions built on the lake, where beautiful maidens could be seen dancing for the sake of the onlookers. These maidens all wore revealing clothing and were extremely pretty. Despite it being night, the light emitted from the lanterns clearly illuminated every part of their bodies. Many people were sitting in the boats, listening to the zither music and enjoying the dance. Although Beiming Youhuang was an immortal emperor, she had never seen such a luxurious and prosperous city before. She couldn’t help but to sigh silently in her heart.

“Youhuang, do you feel like we are frogs in a well?” Qin Wentian stood beside her. The two of them exuded magnificence that would last through the generations, causing many of the people here to glance at them. There was even one who raised his wine cup in their direction and said, “The two of you are truly a match made in heaven.”

After that, the dragon boat the person was on, floated by. Qin Wentian grinned, but Beiming Youhuang rolled her eyes at him.

“We should cast aside all that we thought we knew before.” Beiming Youhuang transmitted a sigh.

“Cultivate well. If your cultivation improves by a step, you would be at the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm. Who knows, this prosperous city might be named after you, the Darknorth Emperor City.” Qin Wentian stood with his hands behind his back. His white robes fluttered in the wind, exuding a sense of carefreeness.

“Do you really want me to follow the Jialan Monarch?” Beiming Youhuang furrowed her brows, coldly staring at Qin Wentian.

“The Jialan Monarch is one of the nine monarchs under the Lifire Empyrean. He isn’t some ordinary character and even if he is interested in you, he wouldn’t do anything against your will. Also, given your beauty, people would surely want to woo you no matter where you go. This is something very normal. In addition, this is the first time we are here in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. You can make use of the Jialan Monarch to be acquainted with the Lifire Empyrean. After that, you can slowly decide what you want to do in the future.”

Qin Wentian glanced at the lake in front of him as he calmly spoke. How would he not want Beiming Youhuang to stay far away from the Jialan Monarch? It was just that this place is still the Jialan Monarch’s territory. How could it be easy if they wanted to leave?

“Are you trying to praise me?” Beiming Youhuang icily snorted. “Also, don’t forget that before this, Jialan Mingyue told the Jialan Monarch that she wants you. Although she was very polite in the banquet, you should already be clear on her character after what we’ve seen. She is someone who can instantly change her face. If you land in her hands, hmph.”

“Don’t worry. After I leave this place, do you think an initial-stage immortal king would be enough to threaten my life? Let alone the fact that the Jialan Monarch wants to please you. She wouldn’t dare to be too overboard.” Qin Wentian calmly replied.

Beiming Youhuang stared puzzledly at Qin Wentian. Before this, she was somewhat cold because she thought Qin Wentian want to obtain some benefits by suggesting that she should follow the Jialan Monarch. However, Qin Wentian was really thinking for her sake.

“That old freak told me to protect you.” Beiming Youhuang suddenly spoke.

Qin Wentian stared at her in astonishment. After that, a smile that was not a smile appeared on his face. Beiming Youhuang’s expression turned unnatural after being stared at by him in this manner as she coldly asked, “What are you looking at?”

“Before this, didn’t you say that we should separate and each go our own way? Youhuang, did you fall in love with me?” Qin Wentian spoke in a joking manner.

“Stop daydreaming.” Beiming Youhuang cast a look of disdain at Qin Wentian but Qin Wentian began to laugh uproariously.

After several days, just like what Beiming Youhuang and Qin Wentian had anticipated, Jialan Mingyue wanted to bring Qin Wentian to tour Windthunder City while the Jialan Monarch wanted Beiming Youhuang to remain in the emperor palace.

Qin Wentian had already made his plans. He willingly followed Jialan Mingyue back to Windthunder City.

In the city lord manor of Windthunder City, Jialan Mingyue brought Qin Wentian into her bedroom. She laid down on a sofa, her alluring figure laid there provocatively as she shot a look filled with intent at Qin Wentian. “Do you feel reluctant being away from your senior sister?”

The Jialan Mingyue now was like a different person completely.

“I’ve interacted with my senior sister for many years. I naturally would feel some reluctance.” Qin Wentian replied.

“Do you think that your senior sister is beautiful or I am more beautiful?” Jialan Mingyue sweetly smiled.

“Each to her own, it’s not good to compare.” Qin Wentian straightforwardly replied while coldly laughing in his heart. Although this Jialan Mingyue was a beauty, how can she be comparable to Beiming Youhuang?

“Oh? This young lady’s leg feels a little numb now. Come and press it a little for me.” Jialan Mingyue stretched out one of her jade legs, exuding temptation.

“Miss Jialan, by doing this, miss’ reputation might suffer.” Qin Wentian shook his head.

“I don’t even mind, why would you mind? Could it be that you want to avoid me?” Jialan Mingyue forcefully stared at Qin Wentian. She couldn’t help but admit that this Qin Wentian was truly more and more handsome the more she looked at him. If he could serve her properly, she was willing to give him a chance.

“I don’t dare to.” Qin Wentian continued to shake his head.

“In that case, fine. You can go out first.” Jialan Mingyue smiled, as though she didn’t mind his answer. She casually waved her hand, “In the future, I’ll arrange things to do for you.”

“Since this is the case, I’ll have to thank little miss first.” Qin Wentian bowed and retreated. After turning around, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

“PAK!” After Qin Wentian left, Jialan Mingyue’s expression sunk as a wooden chair nearby was smashed into pieces. Killing intent flickered in her eyes, “This miss has already given him a chance but he doesn’t know how to cherish it. Did he really think that he would be safe because his senior sister is heavily regarded by my father? Father is truly a fool, his lust knows no bounds and still wishes to take more concubines.”

“Miss, what should we do with him?” A serving girl asked.

“Make the arrangement and send him to mine Yuan Meteor Stones.” Jialan Mingyue coldly spoke. The serving girl’s heart trembled when she heard that. Seems like Qin Wentian would surely be dead!
