Mo Yanyu's heart pounded faster, filled with unease, her jade-like back drenched in sweat.
She was very confused, extremely confused.
Wasn't it rumored that the Jun Family Divine Child was severely injured by an assassination attempt and was recuperating in the Jun Family Ancestral Land?
But how could he appear here?
Yet, that image, that aura, and the display of power and methods he had shown earlier, undoubtedly belonged to the Jun Family Divine Child.
If it were anyone else, who would dare to so easily eliminate the Son of Truth?
Only Jun Xiaoyao would dare.
And there was another point.
In Mo Yanyu's observation, Ling Yuan should have known Jun Xiaoyao's identity.
"Indeed, as the outside world rumored, even Young Empress Ling Yuan has fallen for the Divine Child?"
Mo Yanyu murmured in her heart, then looked at the exquisitely handsome face before her.
Indeed, for any woman, it would be difficult to resist, right?
Putting everything else aside, just this face alone was enough to make countless women in the world willingly fall for him.
Even being glanced at by Jun Xiaoyao would be an immense honor.
"What, do I look that fierce?"
Watching Mo Yanyu's constantly changing expression, Jun Xiaoyao stroked his chin.
Was Mo Yanyu scared by him?
"Of… of course not, Divine Child, you are very handsome."
Mo Yanyu lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look at Jun Xiaoyao's face.
If Lu Fugui were here, he would surely be so astonished that his jaw would drop to the ground.
Was this still the arrogant Young Miss of the Mo family?
It was no wonder Mo Yanyu had such an attitude.
Even if she was a noble lady of the Mo family.
Before someone of Jun Xiaoyao's status, she was still insignificant.
Their statuses were simply not equal.
In fact, if the Jun Family were serious, they could destroy the Mo family without much effort.
No ally would dare to help the Mo family.
Because the previous two Immortal Battles were enough to demonstrate the Jun family's spirit and strength.
"Haha, no need to be nervous, are you afraid I'll eat you?" Jun Xiaoyao teased.
A faint blush appeared on Mo Yanyu's face.
She had indeed been afraid earlier of what the Mysterious Black-Robed Man would do to her.
But now, with Jun Xiaoyao's identity revealed.
Mo Yanyu actually felt that it was her honor instead.
However, she also had some self-awareness.
Those who could be associated with Jun Xiaoyao were all peerless Heavenly Maidens.
Such as the Jiang Family Goddess, Young Empress Ling Yuan, and so on.
She was not qualified enough.
"Actually, this Young Master appreciates you very much." Jun Xiaoyao looked at Mo Yanyu.
Mo Yanyu's heart raced, her delicate face flushed, and a hint of joy couldn't help but show in her eyes and brows.
How many women could be praised by the Jun Family Divine Child?
"So, what is your decision?"
Mo Yanyu then remembered that Jun Xiaoyao had said he wanted her to submit.
If it were anyone else, Mo Yanyu would absolutely not even consider it.
But standing before her was the most noble and outstanding man in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Who knew how many proud daughters of heaven, peerless Fairies, wanted to become his followers, or even his maids and concubines.
The opportunity was right before her eyes!
"Of course, it's fine if you don't agree; I won't let Lu Fugui do anything to you."
"After all, it would be a bit of a pity if a beautiful flower were to be defiled."
Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand, brushed a strand of deep purple hair from Mo Yanyu's forehead, and said lightly.
Mo Yanyu's breathing almost stopped, her face flushed like the morning glow.
The joy in her heart couldn't help but well up.
"The Divine Child is too gentle…"
Mo Yanyu murmured in her heart, her maiden's heart seemingly melting into a pool of spring water.
If she missed this opportunity.
It would be almost impossible to establish a connection with Jun Xiaoyao again.
Would she regret it for a lifetime then?
"Yanyu is willing." Mo Yanyu bowed respectfully to Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled, then said, "I heard that this generation of the Mo family seems to have a total of five Legacy candidates, and you are one of them?"
This was not a secret, and Mo Yanyu nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, as the Divine Child said."
"Since you are my person, I will naturally help you control the Mo family. For any resources, manpower, or materials, you can come to me," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Mo Yanyu's heart skipped a beat.
Although she felt somewhat apprehensive before Jun Xiaoyao.
She was not a fool.
She understood the meaning of Jun Xiaoyao's words.
"Lord Divine Child, could it be that you…" Mo Yanyu hesitated, a little uneasy.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to attack the Mo family; I just hope to seek an opportunity for cooperation with the Mo family."
Although Jun Xiaoyao said this, he had already planned it in his heart.
At this stage, cooperation was the main goal.
But in the future, when his cultivation increased.
Wouldn't it be a simple matter for him to have the Mo family completely merge into the Jun Emperor Court?
Jun Xiaoyao did not want to force other forces to join from the beginning, as that would not benefit the Jun Emperor Court.
So even with the King of Assassins, Jun Xiaoyao primarily used gentle persuasion and would not force him to join.
"So that's how it is."
Mo Yanyu was completely relieved.
If it was just seeking cooperation, then the Mo family should be very happy to establish a connection with Jun Xiaoyao.
And if she could gain Jun Xiaoyao's appreciation and support, she would have a great chance to stand out from the five Legacy candidates.
Becoming the head of the Mo family in the future was not impossible either.
Thinking of this, Mo Yanyu's beautiful eyes, as she looked at Jun Xiaoyao, were filled with even more respect and longing.
"Alright, for now, don't reveal my identity," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He was in the dark, and the enemy was in the light.
This was most advantageous for him.
"Yanyu understands." Mo Yanyu said respectfully.
Outside, the Daughter Country's celebration banquet was about to be held.
Ling Yuan and her group were all invited to join.
"Wow, they've been in there for so long, my brother is amazing." Lu Fugui couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shut up."
A cold, delicate shout came, and Ling Yuan's exquisite, translucent jade-like face showed a look of impatience and annoyance.
Lu Fugui shrank his head.
Qin Yuanqing, feigning cleverness, smiled faintly, "Your Highness Young Empress, why be anxious over a despicable person? It's heartbreaking to think of the Mo family's noble lady falling into the hands of such a person."
"You shut up too!"
Ling Yuan's tone became even colder.
Qin Yuanqing's face stiffened.
Was she taking her anger out on him?
Just then, Jun Xiaoyao and Mo Yanyu finally appeared.
The moment they appeared, Lu Fugui was stunned.
"Holy cow, did she actually submit?!"
Mo Yanyu was seen respectfully walking half a step behind Jun Xiaoyao, who was clad in a black robe.
She looked exactly like a docile maid.
Her gaze occasionally fell on Jun Xiaoyao, her eyes filled with both respect and longing, a lingering blush on her cheeks.
"Brother, awesome!"
Lu Fugui gave a thumbs-up.
He was truly impressed that Jun Xiaoyao could make Mo Yanyu so obedient.
"Young Miss Mo, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Qin Yuanqing asked with a concerned expression.
Mo Yanyu's status might not be much in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
But in Qin Yuanqing's eyes, it was not much lower than his own.
If he could establish some connection with this noble lady of the Mo family, it would be quite good.
"This is between me and my Master, what does it have to do with you?" Mo Yanyu replied with a cold face.
Qin Yuanqing's face turned even darker than the bottom of a pot.
I was showing concern for you, why are you snapping back at me?
Qin Yuanqing was completely speechless.
Ling Yuan was like this, and Mo Yanyu was also like this.
Was he too annoying, why were they all treating him this way?
At this moment, Ling Yuan's exquisitely beautiful face turned to Jun Xiaoyao, and she said coldly.
"How does the tender embrace feel?"
Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
Had the vinegar jar been overturned?
