Although Ji Ningxuan had always been an obedient and well-behaved girl on the surface, a well-behaved disciple.
Over the years, no matter whether as the cherished daughter of the Pri Minister Manor or as a disciple of the Jade Pool Sacred Land, Ji Ningxuan had always behaved very dutifully and obediently.
But in her heart, Ji Ningxuan harbored so rebellious thoughts.
After so many years of following the rules, why couldn't she live once according to her own heart?
She had heard quite a few rumors about this Ye Fan before her eyes.
He entered the Grandmaster Realm at fifteen, proclaid the number one monstrous genius of Great Xia.
Afterwards, at the Ye Family funeral, Xuan Yufei called off the engagent, and the seven sisters-in-law even boldly announced they would marry Ye Fan together.
Before, Ji Ningxuan didn't quite understand what those beauties were thinking, why they would willingly degrade themselves for a fool?
But today, after getting close to Ye Fan and sensing that miraculous warmth, Ji Ningxuan thought she had grasped the crux of the matter.
As long as she stayed by Ye Fan's side, she felt as if she had access to a treasure trove for cultivation, capable of endlessly enhancing her strength. Any Martial Dao Cultivator would find such an opportunity irresistible!
Moreover, though Ye Fan was handso, he always seed a bit naughty.
That kind of naughtiness annoyed you, yet was also sowhat alluring.
Perhaps it was exactly what they say, "A man not bad is a woman not in love."
After all, Ji Yuchen had sent her to the Flower Capital to express his apologies and to see if there was any way they could compensate Ye Fan!
It's just that the compensation Ye Fan requested was a bit too steep!
As the Empress-to-be, if she really did sothing with Ye Fan, it would absolutely beco the greatest news in all of Great Xia.
No, no!
The thought had just flashed through Ji Ningxuan's mind when she was startled and imdiately snuffed it out!
The position Ji Ningxuan held, her identity did not allow for such actions.
The dignity of the Royal Family, the face of the Pri Minister Manor, the honor of the Jade Pool Sacred Land—Ji Ningxuan could not ignore any of it.
Although Ji Ningxuan was young, she carried too many burdens on her shoulders!
"Presumptuous, Ye Fan! Don't think that just because the Ye Family controls the Tianlong Army, you can be arrogant!" Seeing his companion beaten, another grey-robed elder's face fell and he scolded Ye Fan.
He, too, wanted to summon his Martial Arts Qi Force, but rembering the plight of his companion just now, he retreated a few steps out of apprehension and dodged Ye Fan's gaze.
It was all well and good to talk tough, but if he was to be beaten for nothing, it would not be worth it.
"Hmph! So what if I am presumptuous?" Ye Fan scoffed, "Don't forget, who was it that saved you from the Netherworld Blood Worms just now? If you think your life is too long, I don't mind throwing you back in!"
As he spoke, Ye Fan cast a glance toward the Netherworld Blood Worms nearby.
After Ye Fan left the encirclent, although the Netherworld Blood Worms were still suppressed by his Absolute Domain, their ability to burrow underground allowed them to avoid a direct confrontation with the power of the Absolute Domain, so the Formation's suppressive force was gradually weakening.
Most of the Netherworld Blood Worms had already withdrawn from the Formation, regrouping again toward the temple ruins.
Beneath the temple, the Insect Queen's birthing process seed to have reached a critical mont.
Ye Fan glanced at the fist-sized larvae, already half erged, but the process seed trendously strenuous. The Insect Emperor paced anxiously beside it, wanting to help, yet unsure of what to do.
Hisss!
As Ye Fan hissed, a surge of trendous Martial Arts Qi Force stirred, daunting the two grey-robed elders to the point where they couldn't help but shudder.
The power of the Netherworld Blood Worms was sothing they had just witnessed firsthand.
This ti, coming from the Capital to the Flower Capital, the royal family and the Pri Minister Manor had arranged for an elite force of top experts.
But in just a few short minutes, all strong individuals below the Grandmaster Realm had been killed, and even two warriors of the Martial Venerable Realm had died.
Seeing the two gray-robed elders shutting up obediently, Ye Fan's anger finally began to subside sowhat.
Realizing that his emotions might have been too intense, Ye Fan released Ji Ningxuan from his embrace and spoke softly, "I'm sorry! Miss Xuan, it's not you I'm upset with. Please, go ahead and leave!"
Ye Fan let out a long sigh, feeling a bit of guilt towards Ji Ningxuan in his heart.
After all, the incident was the royal family's fault, and it seed sowhat overbearing to bla Ji Ningxuan for it.
"It's fine! Ye Fan... Actually, I understand you very well!" Ji Ningxuan stepped away from Ye Fan, a hint of lancholy on her face. The look she gave Ye Fan was no longer one of anger but one filled with sympathy, pity, and heartache!
Although Ye Fan had taken liberties with her just now, touching her in places he shouldn't have, the incident was in the past now.
Alas!
Moreover, during the brief mont of close contact with Ye Fan, Ji Ningxuan felt she had made a huge breakthrough in her strength by continuously absorbing the warm flow from Ye Fan's body, even harboring hopes of breaking through to the Martial Emperor level.
She would consider the intimate encounters she had with Ye Fan as a secret between the two of them, to be forever cherished in her heart!
After tonight, Ji Ningxuan would return to being that untouchable Empress, the lofty Jade Pool Saintess, the Pri Minister Manor's esteed daughter.
"However, as the Empress-to-be, having co here, I can't just walk away without dealing with these Netherworld Blood Worms—it wouldn't be right!" Ji Ningxuan took a deep look at the Netherworld Blood Worms, her eyes reflecting a firm resolve.
Ye Fan chuckled lightly, "Oh! Is that so? Do you know how you plan to deal with them? Are you going to try to scare them off with a loud shout, or are you planning to pounce on them and bite them to death?"
"You..."
In an instant, Ye Fan's comnt had left Ji Ningxuan at a loss for words.
The strength Ji Ningxuan had demonstrated proved that she was incapable of dealing with the Netherworld Blood Worms by herself, a fact that had been confird by the earlier situation.
If it were not for Ye Fan's intervention, Ji Ningxuan and the others would have been completely wiped out.
"I'm not trying to criticize, but if you go out there now, you'll just be throwing your lives away! So, please, just leave and don't add to the chaos here!"
"..."
She had been disdained!
The daughter of the Pri Minister Manor, the Empress-to-be, the direct disciple of the Jade Pool Holy Master—she had been disdained by a foolish young master!
"Hmph! Who's underestimating who? Do you really think I'm just a pretty vase? I was rely careless just now!" Ji Ningxuan huffed arrogantly, frowning slightly, "Do you really believe that's all there is to the techniques of the Jade Pool Sacred Land?"
Hum!
As Ji Ningxuan spoke, she took out a semi-transparent stone from her body, which stirred a simple and primitive aura in the air, humming as it vibrated!
As the primitive aura spread, the Netherworld Blood Worms that had gathered around seed to sense danger and quickly retreated several ters, eyeing Ji Ningxuan warily.

A Divinity Fragnt?
Ji Ningxuan also had a Divinity Fragnt? The depth of the Pri Minister Manor's resources was truly extraordinary!
But thinking about it, it wasn't too surprising that Ji Ningxuan, as the daughter of the Pri Minister Manor and a direct disciple of the Jade Pool Holy Master, possessed several Divinity Fragnts.
"You see? I can resolve this without you!" Ji Ningxuan huffed petulantly, activating the Divinity Fragnt in her hand while swinging her battle saber, and once again charging towards the temple ruins!
Ye Fan was rendered speechless; this Ji Ningxuan really was stubborn!
The Insect Queen was producing offspring down below, and although these Netherworld Blood Worms were afraid of the power of the Divinity Fragnt, they would certainly protect the temple ruins at all costs to safeguard the Insect Queen...
