  The people of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect were now looking at the matter at hand with the attention it deserved.

  Especially Sect Leader Luo Yu.

  He had personally seen Princess Yulin a few months ago.

  At that time, Princess Yulin was only an Innate Realm cultivator.

  She was very pure and kind, just like the ideal younger sister.

  In the past, Princess Yulin didn’t like to cultivate.

  She wasn’t as obsessed with individual strength like Emperor De.

  But ever since she discovered the secret of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, she became more diligent in her cultivation.

  Then, with Lin Jiufeng’s help, she became akin to that of a carp leaping over the dragon’s gate.

  Outsiders couldn’t see Lin Jiufeng’s contributions, they only thought that Princess Yulin was a peerless genius who had been hiding her strength all this time.

  If it weren’t for the fact that the court officials wanted to sacrifice her in a marriage alliance, Princess Yulin would’ve kept her true strength hidden.

  The general public didn’t have that many information channels, so they believed in this fabricated truth.

  Sect Leader Luo Yu of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, however, never believed it.

  He vaguely sensed that there was a mastermind behind Princess Yulin’s rise and Emperor De’s sudden coldness to them.

  The question was—who was that person?

  Sect Leader Luo Yu immediately thought of the mysterious senior who saved the Imperial Capital five years ago.

  He wanted to devour the Yuhua God Dynasty after entering it, so he naturally had to know how many powerhouses the Yuhua God Dynasty had.

  A mysterious expert who lived in seclusion in the Imperial Capital and had saved the Yuhua God Dynasty several times.

  Could this person be the one behind Princess Yulin’s actions and rise?

  Sect Leader Luo Yu’s eyes turned slightly cold.

  He reached out and clenched his fists tightly. “I will catch you, you—clown hiding in the dark.”

  …

  Princess Yulin had come back.

  She returned with honors.

  In a day, what she did on the Plains and the Wolf Storey Mountain had spread all over the world.

  Everyone cheered on her for what she did.

  It was something to be proud of after all.

  Splitting the Wolf Storey Mountain!

  A girl!

  The Wolf Storey Mountain was the dream destination of many men since ancient times.

  As long as one was a cultivator, they would always dream of the Wolf Storey Mountain.

  Ages ago, a young genius managed to accomplish something big and he hailed from the Wolf Storey Mountain. His story was passed down to the next generations, but only a few people could vaguely remember it today.

  But today, a 16-year-old girl had completed a magnificent in the most violent manner possible.

  She entered the Plains alone and in a short span of three days, she experienced several major battles. Every battle was earth-shattering, and they allowed her to make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm.

  Princess Yulin instantly became an idol in the hearts of women.

  She did what no man could do.

  When she left the Imperial Capital, no one sent her off.

  Instead, countless people ridiculed her—saying that she was overestimating her capabilities.

  But when she returned, the whole world was cheering her on and shouting her name.

  The common people in the Imperial Capital all came to see her.

  Seeing the people outside frantically praising her achievements, Princess Yulin felt a little ashamed.

  She knew how much Lin Jiufeng had contributed to her success in this matter.

  But she alone took all the credit.

  She truly found it uncomfortable.

  “There’s no need to worry. Nothing would’ve happened if you weren’t courageous enough.”

  Lin Jiufeng comforted her.

  “Master. You’re still alive, right?” Princess Yulin suddenly asked.

  She ignored the compliments of the outside world and focused on the sword case.

  She wasn’t a fool.

  Lin Jiufeng had previously said that he was invited by Emperor Yuan to teach her in her dream world. Princess Yulin had truly believed that this was the case.

  But then, Lin Jiufeng followed her into the Plains and they both fought against the enemies and slaughtered them together.

  Lin Jiufeng had also revealed his true form.

  Princess Yulin was even more certain that this was the case.

  She just never mentioned it until now.

  Now that they were back in the Imperial Capital, Princess Yulin finally had the chance to ask.

  Lin Jiufeng laughed out loud. “Don’t keep guessing whether I’m dead or alive. Don’t you realize that you’ve already become a symbol of the Yuhua God Dynasty?”

  Princess Yulin didn’t care about anything else. She dismissed Lin Jiufeng’s words as she followed up. “After witnessing Master’s power, I know that my cultivation base is still very weak compared to the grand scheme of things. I really need Master’s guidance.”

  Princess Yulin was just short of telling Lin Jiufeng to continue to be her teacher.

  But Lin Jiufeng directly refused.

  “I’ve already taught you everything that I should. You don’t need my help anymore, handle your own matters well and work hard to improve.”

  Princess Yulin could only close this fleeting thought of hers.

  Entering the Imperial Capital, Princess Yulin shook off everyone and placed Lin Jiufeng’s sword case in front of the Cold Palace.

  “Is this okay?”

  With her cleverness, Princess Yulin wanted to know where Lin Jiufeng’s real body was.

  As a result, she stayed close to the gates, waiting for them to open.

  But Lin Jiufeng never came out nor answered her.

  He only controlled the power of his Divine Soul to make the sword case float up and enter the Cold Palace.

  From the beginning till the end, Lin Jiufeng’s true body never appeared.

  Princess Yulin looked on helplessly.

  She could only go to the Forbidden City to look for her brother and mother.

  …

  Regardless of the disturbances of the outside world, Lin Jiufeng’s Divine Soul returned and immediately entered his body.

  It was just three to four days that they were separated from each other…

  While Lin Jiufeng’s real body continued to sign-in in the Cold Palace, his divine soul followed Princess Yulin to the Plains.

  Then, those things happened.

  After his body and Divine Soul became one again, Lin Jiufeng let out a long breath.

  He laid on the frost jade bed, his body still a little weak.

  His Divine Soul had been gone for too long, he couldn’t get used to it for the time being.

  He had to slowly get used to it like those saturation divers that didn’t want to get the bends.

  The white cat had been accompanying Lin Jiufeng’s body for the past few days.

  She was afraid that something would suddenly go wrong.

  Many people whose divine souls left their bodies had to protect their bodies well.

  Otherwise, their divine souls might still exist but their bodies, destroyed or kidnapped by their enemies.

  If that happened, then it would be difficult to find a replacement to house the homeless Divine Soul. After all, a cultivator had to find a body with a suitable bloodline and sufficient bodily strength that could endure the might of their Divine Soul.

  “This matter is finally resolved. I can finally continue my routine in peace,” Lin Jiufeng said happily.

  Lin Jiufeng didn’t like the concept of marriage alliances, but he understood the reasons behind it.

  Now that Princess Yulin had resolved her own problem, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow didn’t dare to mention anything about the marriage alliance anymore.

  Weren’t they beaten up badly enough already?

  Peace had once again arrived in the Cold Palace.

  Lin Jiufeng continued to live the life of a ‘shut-in otaku’.

  He continued to sign-In at the demon’s den every day for the sake of treasures.

  If there was anything that he needed, he would absorb it to improve himself.

  “How is it? How’s the scenery on the Plains?”

  “I’m just a cat in the Cold Palace and I haven’t seen such a scene before, so I’m curious!”

  The white cat asked curiously.

  Since her birth, she had never gone to the Plains.

  And that so-called Wolf Storey Mountain.

  “It’s not fun at all. The ground is covered in pure white snow, and I can’t see anything other than snow. It’s not interesting, since you can also see snow in the Cold Palace.”

  Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

  “Then forget it.” The white cat shook her head and lost interest.

  Lin Jiufeng hugged her and stroked her ever so gently as usual.

  Just like that, almost a month passed by.

  Dachun came to deliver food.

  Once a month, Dachun would always come.

  He had always been punctual about his schedule.

  He brought good food and good wine along with some news.

  “Your Royal Highness!”

  “Last month, it was said that the Imperial Court of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow wants to make peace and they asked for Princess Yulin’s hand in a marriage alliance!”

  “But no one expected that Princess Yulin would be so powerful!”

  “She went to the Plains alone and killed the Emperor of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and the King of the Xianbei people…”

  “She even destroyed Wolf Storey Mountain!”

  Dachun was almost exclaiming as he explained in excitement.

  Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other behind the gates.

  They saw the smiles in each other’s eyes.

  They didn’t stop Dachun from talking.

  Instead, they listened quietly.

  Lin Jiufeng even occasionally said something to contribute to the discussion.

  All of these were done to prevent Dachun from being too embarrassed in talking about a topic which Lin Jiufeng and the white cat were more knowledgeable about than him.
