Chapter 9: The Three-Year Term is Up, and the Destined Protagonist Emerges!

In the southern region of the Eastern Wasteland Ancient State.

Ji Family.

Inside a palace nurtured by purple spiritual energy.

After re-fusing the Supreme bone, Ji Yue’er’s complexion gradually softened, and she appeared more lively.

But at this moment, her face did not show any happiness, and her purple eyes held a touch of worry.

All because Lin Ao Tian did not accept her Supreme bone…

“No!”

“I don’t know when those bitches will regain their memories, and I can’t just sit and wait. In my past life, I was deluded and made mistakes, causing delays, and I never truly entered Brother Ao Tian’s heart. This life, I must not repeat the same mistakes.”

“The good news is, in this life, I didn’t become Brother Ao Tian’s enemy; instead, I’ve made quite an impression on him.”

“Although Brother Ao Tian didn’t accept my Supreme bone, this time, he should at least remember some of my affection. If I try harder, I’ll surely get into Brother Ao Tian’s heart before those bitches.”

Thinking about it, Ji Yue’er couldn’t help but think of someone she despised.

In her past life, she actually had feelings for this person?

If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time and hurt Brother Ao Tian, almost being cheated into becoming his Dao partner.

Fortunately, I have always kept myself pure. I never gave him a chance, not even letting him touch my hand.

“Hmph!”

“If I see you again, I’ll make sure you know what pain is!”

Ji Yue’er’s eyes turned cold.

In the next second.

Her figure disappeared, heading for the ancestral ground.

She was going to find the patriarch and take some sacred herbs.

For what purpose?

Of course, to offer them to her beloved Brother Ao Tian!

…

While Ji Yue’er was seeking sacred herbs from the patriarch to please Lin Ao Tian.

Within the Ji family’s territory.

On an ancient flying boat.

There were dozens of young figures, their gazes focused ahead.

A green-clad boy stood there with a confident smile, hands behind his back, deep eyes.

Suddenly!

A golden-robed boy appeared beside him, admiringly smiling, “Brother Ling, this time you outdid us all on your own. Your talent is astonishing, putting us to shame…”

The boy, addressed as Brother Ling, smiled slightly.

“Hehe, just lucky…”

The golden-robed boy waved repeatedly, “Ah, Brother Ling, you’re too modest. Visiting the Ji family this time, Brother Ling is sure to shine brightly.”

He then chuckled, “Brother Ling and the Ji family pearl are old friends, right? We count on you to look out for us hometown fellows!”

Listening to the praise, Ling Feng merely smiled lightly and recalled the past few years.

From being a useless student to awakening the Holy Body.

Later receiving a great opportunity, having the Holy Body unsealed.

Since then, he had dominated peers of his realm with an invincible aura.

Entering danger, reversing death, gaining treasures and opportunities each time!

Even his master, who only had a trace of soul left, praised him multiple times.

His master had once surpassed the Saint realm!

Yes!

From useless to rising, a ring, an old man…

True qualities of a destined protagonist!

“Hehe, what’s wrong? Don’t like compliments?”

An elderly laughter came from a black ring on his left index finger.

“Nothing, just feel I still have a long way to go; the world is vast.”

Ling Feng replied softly, gazing into the distance.

“That’s true, but never belittle yourself. With your unsealed ancient Holy Body, even I, in my prime, would have loved to take you as a disciple.”

The old man continued, “But even without the Holy Body, you would still rise.”

The elderly voice was full of admiration.

This genius had an ancient Holy Body and remained humble and steadfast, most importantly, he had great luck!

Ling Feng said nothing, just gazing at the approaching palatial compound.

“The Ji family is near. I wonder how strong these immortal family geniuses are…”

Today, he was heading to the mysterious and ancient Ji family to compete amongst the geniuses. If recognized by a Ji family elder and taken as a disciple, he would soar.

“Hehe, the geniuses of the immortal family must be extraordinarily talented, unlike these local nobodies. But with your strength now, you’ll astonish them, even impressing your little lover.”

“Master, you’re teasing.”

Ling Feng blushed slightly.

“Haha, what’s up? Don’t like it?”

“That girl is indeed exceptional, with her background, talent, looks, she’s outstanding even in the Tianxuan Continent. Plus, she has the Supreme bone. If you ask me, just accept her.”

The elder half-joked, half-seriously, “If you marry her and join the Ji family, with an immortal family backing us, we wouldn’t need to fight everywhere for spiritual stones or fear sect reprisals.”

Accepting her…

Ling Feng was silent, his gaze fixed ahead of the flying boat.

His mind couldn’t help but think of the beautiful girl.

“Yue’er, it’s been three years, how have you been…”

…

***

Three days passed in a blink.

In the Eastern Wasteland Ancient State, it was June.

The sky was clear, the sun scorching.

After a brief rest, Ling Feng and his group were led by a Ji family elder.

The Ji Family.

As an immortal family, the Ji family was grand and vast, covering hundreds of thousands of miles, with continuous palaces and pavilions, spiritual energy dense, surrounded by multi-colored divine light, with spiritual mountains and celestial lakes dotting the landscape, like an immortal realm.

It’s even rumored that the Ji family’s patriarch kept a Saint realm dragon!

At this moment.

Within the Ji family.

Dozens of unfamiliar young figures appeared.

These young people were all geniuses, but they were still awed by the magnificent scene.

From time to time.

Some young Ji family disciples encountered them, and their gazes made them uncomfortable.

Clearly, there was a hint of disdain!

Among these young people, only Ling Feng.

Remained calm and peaceful.

He observed the ancient buildings made of spiritual stones, feeling the dense spiritual energy.

A confident smile never left his lips.

“Yue’er, the three-year term is up, I, Ling Feng, am here!”

He wanted to say this while looking at her.

“Hehe, up ahead is the Ji family’s martial arts arena, where you’ll get to shine. The patriarch and others are waiting.”

The Ji family elder smiled.

Seemingly intentionally becoming closer to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng just smiled lightly, humble yet not servile, “Thank you for telling me, elder.”

This scene made the other young figures envious.

As expected of Ling Feng!

He attracted attention wherever he went!
