Especially after the battle with Xing Pengfei, Lin Xin has been acknowledged as the new generation Great Saint, standing alongside Wei Ning, Yin Chuan, the Buddhist Child, and others.
Due to his actual strength still being inferior to Xing Pengfei and others, he ranked last on the Star Ranking.
But even the last-ranked Great Saint is still a Great Saint!
This signifies a powerful potential rivaling the Heavenly Venerables, being the lifeline amidst the catastrophic era.
In so places, the status of a Great Saint even surpasses that of an average Heavenly Venerable.
Ning Xiang and Chen Yuruo exchanged glances, both sensing a hint of unease from Bai Qingjue.
Typically clear-headed and ticulous, Bai Qingjue was now sowhat flustered and uncertain. Furthermore, as the Bai Family’s eldest daughter, Bai Qingjue’s deanor was unusually gentle and unnatural.
The Bai Family’s situation was quite severe, and though the other party was rely a friend t along the way, not in a position to help much.
But having more channels might provide more information and reveal a glimr of hope.
They were wandering around shopping, intending to buy gifts to smooth over relationships, hoping to find a solution sohow.
"Qingqing." Ning Xiang lightly nudged Bai Qingjue.
The latter imdiately ca back to her senses and lowered her head.
"It’s okay..." Bai Qingjue’s words left her two friends sowhat startled.
"It’s just a small matter, nothing to worry about."
The Bai Family never sought petty gains, though the loss this ti wasn’t insignificant, it was still bearable.
She was unwilling to seek Lin Xin’s help for this matter, considering they were rely passersby who happened to share the journey.
Things that could be handled on one’s own should never be casually asked of others.
This was the pride of the Bai Family and also one of its teachings.
Lin Xin raised his brows.
"That’s good. You all continue shopping then."
He did not insist, guiding the already impatient Lord Yun Guang away, parting ways with the trio, and slowly strolled back.
Bai Qingjue watched the two leave, gradually disappearing around the street corner, heaving a long sigh of relief.
"Qingqing, are you crazy! Why were you so distracted just now? They asked if you needed help, and you still insisted on holding out, just say it directly!" Ning Xiang questioned, puzzled.
"It’s nothing, we aren’t close. This matter can be resolved with so gifts, no need to trouble them." Bai Qingjue shook her head.
"Are you interested in that person? Just seeing him makes you go weak, with your heart racing and your cheeks blushing..."
Chen Yuruo teased softly from the side.
"What nonsense!"
Bai Qingjue, flushed and annoyed, pushed her friend away and walked a few steps forward.
"Got the stuff?"
"With Ning Xiang on the job, can there be any mistakes?" Chen Yuruo said proudly.
"It’s not even your talent; what are you so proud of?" Ning Xiang retorted irritably.
"What’s Ning Xiang’s is mine, and what’s mine is Ning Xiang’s," Chen Yuruo laughed, "when I marry a great cultivator, you two can follow and enjoy a lavish life!"
"Dream on!"
Ning Xiang pushed away Chen Yuruo’s smug little face with a finger.
"For a great cultivator to fancy you would be a miracle."
Bai Qingjue watched the two bickering, a faint smile appearing on her face. Her previously tense mood also eased.
Chen Yuruo’s dream was to marry a great cultivator, so she could live a life of leisure and luxury, doing whatever she wished.
Even though she’s a young girl who just succeeded in Qi Cultivation with inadequate aptitude, it would already be fortunate to reach the Golden Core Stage in her life.
Hoping to marry a Nascent Soul Level great cultivator was like wishing for the moon.
But.....
Bai Qingjue sized up her friend’s figure.
Silver-red soft armor wrapped only around her chest and abdon, setting off the curvaceous outline, leaving most of her figure and legs revealed, too alluring at first glance.
Below the soft armor were equally elongated, toned legs, which took up more than half her height, wrapped in patterned black stockings, extrely seductive in their lines.
Among the three of them, while Chen Yuruo’s looks were slightly inferior, her figure was the best, especially her bust and legs.
Her upper body was extrely prominent, as if it would burst out at any ti. Even the tight black-red soft armor only heightened the mysterious allure.
’What a sha... just lacking in aptitude....’
Bai Qingjue thought regretfully.
"Let’s go back." She called her two sisters.
"Three ladies, please wait a mont."
Suddenly, a voice called out to the three of them.
The trio turned around, seeing a squad of cultivators in port patrol armor approaching swiftly.
The leading officer stepped in front of Bai Qingjue.
"Miss, please register your na, background, age, and could you briefly tell us how you know the Inspector?"
The officer respectfully requested.
The three were montarily stunned.
Inspector?
Before the other two friends could react, Bai Qingjue suddenly recalled the scene she saw when getting off the ship earlier, her heart pounding slightly.
"Great cultivator!!" she hadn’t spoken when Chen Yuruo exclaid.
The other two then realized that the officer before them was wearing the Nascent Soul realm’s armor, clearly identifying him as a Nascent Soul great cultivator.
In a port with a population of tens of millions, a Nascent Soul great cultivator was considered high-ranking to ordinary people, though not particularly special in the grander coordination.
Excluding the high-rank Fifth Rank immortals, these great cultivators were the most noticeable.
They were also the highest-ranking cultivators who interacted most frequently with common people.
The higher-ranked Human Immortals had mostly stopped interacting with mortals and low-rank cultivators.
"Miss, please explain a bit."
The Nascent Soul officer asked again. Despite the pleasant gaze from a long-legged beauty, his task was paramount.
"I....." Bai Qingjue took a deep breath, about to speak.
"Oh my god!! Great cultivator...Inspector!!" Chen Yuruo was already losing it beside her.
"I’ve actually spoken to soone greater than a great cultivator!" she covered her face, incredulous, looking just like an obsessed fan.
Seeing her in that state, Bai Qingjue felt uneasy....
"Qingqing! My entire future happiness is in your hands!!!"
Chen Yuruo grabbed her friend’s shoulders, eyes blazing.
Bai Qingjue sighed, briskly detailing her personal information and how she t Lin Xin.
"Thank you for your cooperation. We must ensure the Inspector’s safety, and we request your understanding for this investigation."
The officer was acting on orders from the port headquarters, ticulously ensuring Lin Xin’s protection.
"Also, since soone from the Bai Family is a friend of the Inspector, the cargo batch number fifty-nine does not need to be held."
The Nascent Soul officer picked up a contact device and spoke a few words.
Soon, Bai Qingjue felt a vibration from a jade talisman, looking at it, her heart leaped.
The family cargo was released, notifying them to retrieve it, and her brother urged her to return quickly, no need for gift-giving anymore.
After concluding the task, the Nascent Soul officer promptly followed Lin Xin and the other, maintaining a protective distance.
The three left behind stood in the crowd, unable to react imdiately.
"Is that it?"
Ning Xiang was bewildered.
They had spent days running from shop to shop searching for gifts to please the cargo managent officials, running around countless places with scant hope.
Exhausting all resources, not much progress, and almost having to trade favors.
Ultimately, just eting and conversing with the Inspector solved everything....?
They stood in the crowd, still not fully absorbing the shock.
The stark contrast between their efforts and this simple solution was striking, making their hardship and plans seem laughable.
Chen Yuruo could no longer joke around.
"So this is... power...?"
She looked down, a fire burning within.
Bai Qingjue, the most experienced, was the first to co around.
Ning Xiang, too, clenched her fists, feeling helpless.
"Comparisons are truly odious."
"Don’t overthink it; we and they are from different worlds." She patted Chen Yuruo’s shoulder.
But Chen Yuruo dodged.
"Qingqing, can you introduce to the Inspector?!"
She lifted her head, eyes fervently locking onto Bai Qingjue.
"Don’t worry! Once I succeed, I won’t forget you!"
"What are you planning to do?"
Bai Qingjue was uneasy with her friend’s intense stare.
"We aren’t even acquainted."
"Rather than being married off to an old man for resources and connections, I would rather go all out!" Chen Yuruo said fiercely.
"Relax, I don’t plan on selling my body. Even if I am willing, he has to be interested first, right?"
She rolled her eyes.
"So what’s your plan?" Bai Qingjue was sowhat startled.
"I heard that as long as I am shaless enough, I will manage to get close to him! Once close, my opportunity will co!" Chen Yuruo whispered.
Finally, she added.
"I am ready to be shaless."
"......"
******************
Demon Domain.
In the dark void, remnants of battlefields and floating debris were scattered everywhere.
Large and small fragnts, so were remnants of buildings, so were corpses of enormous creatures.
Occasionally, vortices of energy storms of various sizes swirled in the void, so white, so silvery-blue, slowly rotating.
In one of the pitch-black energy vortices.
A fully intact human body floated, seemingly unconscious, hurled out by the vortex’s mighty force.
’Who am I....’
’Song Danhao.’
’.....I, who manipulated fate, orchestrating a grand catastrophe, will not die in an unknown place!’
’I am Song Danhao.’
’No, you are the Demon God King, the leader of the Demon Race, the supre being of all demon cultivators!’
’The Demon Race has been destroyed....’
’As long as I live, the Demon Race is not extinct!’
Boom!!
The floating body’s eyes snapped open.
Surrounding space instantly manifested countless eerie blue frosts, layers of frost encasing it, forming a massive blue ice ball stretching thousands of miles.
