Chapter 1820: Saintess Candidate
“What are you getting at?” Jiang Qingya’s expression turned colder. “Did you have an affair with her?”
While she was speaking, her killing intent erupted unexpectedly.
“Palace Master!” Terrified, Lu Xuyang fell to the ground and prostrated himself, his voice trembling. “Master, my feelings for you are unwavering. Other women mean nothing to me. Please, don’t doubt my devotion and loyalty.”
No woman could resist flattery, especially when it was sweet and heartfelt.
Jiang Qingya’s face brightened right away, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Unfortunately, her plain features made her smile highlight the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, rather than giving her a bashful beauty.
Lu Xuyang suppressed his disgust and continued, “I mention this woman because she’s very famous in Miluo Continent. Many high-level martial artists vie to marry her because she possesses a pure yin cauldron physique and dual water and fire spiritual roots.”
“As far as I know, she’s still a virgin, which makes her the ideal choice for the saintess.”
Jiang Qingya’s expression changed dramatically as she exclaimed, “What? A pure yin furnace cauldron physique? Are you sure?”
Lu Xuyang nodded firmly, his hand digging into his palm inside his sleeve. A hint of sneer flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Qingya was instantly thrilled. Anling Yue had a pure yin cauldron physique but only water spiritual roots. This woman, however, had dual water and fire spiritual roots. Could she truly be the perfect saintess candidate?
But soon, Jiang Qingya realized something and immediately looked terrified, shaking her head repeatedly. “No! Absolutely not! That’s the person the Abyss Divine Venerable is looking for. If he finds out I meddled, it won’t just be me; the entire Moon Embracing Palace will be doomed.”
Lu Xuyang clenched his teeth, hiding his intense hatred, but wore a worried expression. “I know this is a difficult situation, Master, but seeing how troubled you were, I had to mention it. What could the Abyss Divine Venerable want with this woman? How does he even know her?”
Jiang Qingya, looking worried and uncertain, paced the room. Her mind was so unsettled that she missed what Lu Xuyang said.
She was agitated, knowing that if she touched this woman, the Abyss Divine Venerable’s wrath would be more than the Moon Embracing Palace could bear.
But if she couldn’t present a suitable saintess soon, the high priest of the God Domain… Just thinking about his cruel and bloodthirsty nature filled Jiang Qingya with bone-chilling fear, almost compelling her to risk offending the Abyss Divine Venerable to find and present that woman.
As she deliberated, an excited and anxious voice of a maid came from outside, “Palace Master, Palace Master, news from the east gate says they’ve identified the best candidate for the saintess!”
…
The day had quickly slipped away, and the Anling Family members who left to discreetly organize their belongings were now back.
The returning members also brought news that the Qinglei Family seemed to be making moves, with their guards tripled. The Anling Family was worried that the Qinglei Family was planning to send troops again to capture Anling Yan.
Anling Yang realized he had to act fast, or else the Qinglei Family would likely capture them.
After entering the Thousand Beast Forest, the Anling family members were stunned to discover that the place they once thought was extremely dangerous was now eerily quiet.
