Chapter 33: I'm Not a Princess
Editor: Atlas Studios
Facing Yu Chen's determined attitude, the old man thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Before leaving, the old man thought to himself, 'What's the relationship between this little guy and Xi Ling? He can even give up the position of the Immortal. Could it be that he's interested in Xi Ling?'
'No, no. He doesn't look like the type to be interested in beautiful women.'
'Still… Xi Ling that girl had been watching for so long, surely she didn't think we hadn't noticed?'
…
After the old man left, Yu Chen walked to the edge of the floating island. "Come out. He's gone."
Xi Ling slowly flew up from below. Her beautiful eyes stared at Yu Chen and asked curiously, "May I know why Your Highness Saint is helping me?"
Yu Chen did not answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you want?"
Xi Ling smiled faintly and stepped out of the void. She landed less than ten meters in front of Yu Chen and said via voice transmission, 'Isn't it a little strange for a Saint of the Hunyuan Sect to cultivate a Blood Demon cultivation technique?'
Yu Chen frowned. 'Did you discover it when you were treating me?'
Xi Ling inclined her head. 'Yes. But don't worry. I mean no harm, and I won't expose you.'
'Oh? That's interesting.' Yu Chen rubbed his chin. 'The Hunyuan Sect's Saintess discovered that the Saint cultivated a demonic technique, but she wouldn't expose him?'
From the looks of it, Xi Ling's identity was probably not simple.
Xi Ling smiled back. 'Because as long as I don't expose you, you're an ally to me.'
'Are you so sure that I will feel threatened to help you?' Yu Chen sneered.
This person was looking down on him.
Was Yu Chen the kind of person who would be threatened by such a thing?
At most, Yu Chen would just fight to the death with Xi Ling on the spot and use her appearance on his avatar. It would not be a loss.
Xi Ling shook her head. 'What I mean is that if you cultivate the Blood Demon cultivation technique, it means that you will never be able to integrate into the Hunyuan Sect again in your life.'
'You have to know that although the Hunyuan Sect doesn't claim to be righteous, they reject Blood Demon cultivation techniques.'
'Don't you know that?'
Yu Chen calmed down and listened carefully.
Xi Ling continued, 'Then, since you can't completely integrate into the Hunyuan Sect no matter what, it proves that you're actually not from the Hunyuan Sect.'
'Since you're not from the Hunyuan Sect, you're my ally.'
These words sounded strange, but when Yu Chen thought about it carefully, his eyes widened. 'You!'
This person seemed to be a spy arranged by other forces to spy on the Hunyuan Sect?
Xi Ling was unfazed by Yu Chen's surprise. Instead, she said very frankly, 'The reason why I exposed my identity was to let you understand that I'm not your enemy, and I won't harm you.'
'Besides, you just fought for my chance to become the Immortal. I should be thanking you.'
Yu Chen's head hurt.
It was obvious that Xi Ling and the Hunyuan Sect were enemies.
Then Yu Chen's helping Xi Ling…
Wouldn't it implicate him?
Yu Chen sighed. "Can you introduce yourself?"
Xi Ling looked around. "You think it's safe?"
"Then come in and talk." Yu Chen turned around and walked towards his residence.
…
"The Hunyuan Sect originally only had the Xuanming Mountain Range, but it later expanded to many surrounding empires."
"Its act of conquering the empire and taking the empire's territory into its pocket is called expanding its territory."
"At the same time, the Hunyuan Sect will enslave the empire that has already been occupied, causing the people of the empire to be in deep misery."
"This action makes them no different from the Demon Sect."
"Living in the Hunyuan Sect every day, I feel disgusted and nauseous facing those bandits."
In the center of Yu Chen's floating island was a courtyard.
In the living room, Xi Ling held a cup of hot tea with both hands and slowly said something that shocked Yu Chen.
There was a hint of sadness on her exquisite and beautiful face.
Yu Chen looked at Xi Ling with interest and said, "Why are you saying these things to me?"
Xi Ling recovered her composure. "I thought you asked me to introduce myself," she said softly.
Yu Chen was a little curious. "Oh, then you are…"
Creek Spirit gave a wry smile. "As I have mentioned, the Hunyuan Sect has also conquered my hometown…"
Bang!
Yu Chen slapped the table and immediately said, "I understand!"
"You're the kind of princess who has lost her country. Your intention of hiding in the Hunyuan Sect is to find an opportunity to overthrow the Hunyuan Sect's rule over the kingdom!"
"Am I right?"
Xi Ling corrected Yu Chen's mistake. "I'm not a princess. I'm just a commoner. The princess of the empire has been forced to marry an elder of the Hunyuan Sect."
Yu Chen was speechless.
"I see. I've never heard of the Hunyuan Sect committing all kinds of crimes." Yu Chen revealed a thoughtful expression.
According to Xi Ling's description, the Hunyuan Sect was simply a demon.
Not only did they enslave civilians, but they also bullied the civilians and caused their lives to be in dire straits…
How was this one of the five major sects in the world? This was simply a bandit and a bully!
Xi Ling straightened her face. "That's why I have to live with these animals, and then climb my way up to the highest position so I can find a way to save my home."
Yu Chen tapped his fingertips on the table. "There are so many empires in the territory of the Hunyuan Sect. As a Saintess, it's easy for you to protect one of them."
Xi Ling shook her head. "You think too highly of a Saintess, especially… a Saintess with a support-type Talent Tree."
In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Primordial Chaos Sect, Xi Ling was not as important as Huo Miao'er.
"What about the Immortal?" Yu Chen asked. "The Immortal should be able to do it, right?"
"You'll be the Immortal in ten days. So you can protect your homeland, right?"
"So, why were you looking for me?"
Seeing Yu Chen's impatience, Xi Ling knew that he was not interested in her affairs at all.
Xi Ling suddenly lowered her pretty face as she explained, "Uh… I… I wanted to ask for your help to become the Immortal, but you beat me to it…"
Yu Chen waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. As long as Wang Yun isn't the Immortal, anyone else is fine."
Xi Ling explained who she was, and Yu Chen realized he didn't dislike her.
For some reason, when Yu Chen found out that Xi Ling's goal was to save her hometown from suffering, he did not intend to be her enemy.
Although he would not claim to be a good person, as long as the other party did not get in his way, Yu Chen would not do anything bad either.
Besides, as someone who had gone through nine years of compulsory education, Yu Chen also felt that the Hunyuan Sect was wrong.
Unfortunately, by this world's standards, the Hunyuan Sect had not done anything wrong.
The strong preyed on the weak. That was all.
Xi Ling looked embarrassed. "Well… I came over just to thank you."
"If I become a goddess, you can come to me if you have any difficulties. I won't stand by and do nothing if I can help."
Yu Chen's eyes lit up. "When you become the Immortal, help me kill Wang Yun!"
Xi Ling was speechless.
Yu Chen did not have the so-called martial artist spirit. As long as Wang Yun died because of him, Yu Chen did not care how Wang Yun died.
Yu Chen even thought that Wang Yun had profited greatly by letting him die so easily.
It was only fair to let him experience what Yu Chen had experienced before letting him die.
