Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 418 The Rebellious Princess
"Senior?" The little maid looked at Lin Jing nervously, not understanding why Lin Jing was stepping on the array pattern she was about to draw.

"Look around." Lin Jing gave a simple reminder. The little maid looked around and was surprised to find that both the steward who had just reprimanded her and the other disciples doing odd jobs around her had all frozen in place.

Of course, they weren't actually frozen in place; Lin Jing was simply using illusion magic to keep himself and the little maidservant undisturbed by the outside world.

"Do you know who your parents are?" Lin Jing asked simply. The little girl was taken aback, but she realized that the person in front of her was a master and dared not be negligent.

She also knelt down with a thud, not daring to look directly at Lin Jing's face.

"My mother is an outer disciple of the Xuanmiao Sect."

“My father… I have never seen my father since I was a child. I have only heard people say that he was a wandering cultivator that my mother met while she was traveling…”

A rogue cultivator… Lin Jing frowned.

Is your mother still alive?

"My mother died in childbirth when I was born," the little girl said, bowing her head.

Lin Jing looked towards the direction of the ancient domain and roughly understood that this rogue cultivator was probably a prince of some ancient clan.

This prince had a fleeting affair with a disciple of the Xuanmiao Sect.

After he got tired of playing around, the prince packed his bags and left, but little did he know that the female disciple of the Xuanmiao Sect was pregnant.

Lin Jing had often seen this kind of plot in TV dramas.

Most likely, this female disciple of the Xuanmiao Sect also didn't know the other party's true identity.

"I wonder which prince it is. He deserves to die. What kind of women can't a prince have? Why does he have to come and harm a lowly female cultivator like this?" Lin Jing fell into deep thought and looked at the little girl who still didn't dare to look up.

The little girl is very pretty, and her mother must be a beauty as well.

Perhaps it's even a special constitution...

The other child's biological mother had also passed away, which was troublesome. The child was only about ten years old, and Lin Jing suddenly found it difficult to abduct the child directly.

After all, at this age, it is precisely the age when one lacks the love of a father and mother. The other party's ten years of orphanage and servitude experience was already miserable enough. If I were to abduct the other party and teach them the "Manipulation Demon Art" and hand them over to Senior Demon Pine for education, would I still be human?

If the other party truly has no relatives, then he will have no burden. But Lin Jing believes that, given the character of the first ancient emperor, he will definitely acknowledge this descendant and provide compensation. Perhaps the other party has a better option.

"Never mind." Lin Jing sighed, thought for a moment, and decided to send the girl back to her family. There were plenty of people to teach him the Demon Control Technique; there was no need to harm such a little girl.

"what's your name?"

"Yu Xun'er," the little maid said.

Yu Xun'er... Yu, that's probably the mother's surname. As for the father's surname... Lin Jing's expression was strange. Why did he have a sense of déjà vu? Did he have a friend with this name in his past life?

"Do you want to go back to your biological father and your other relatives?" Lin Jing asked.

"I can take you to them."

Just as Lin Jing was congratulating himself on being such a good person, the timid and nervous little girl suddenly widened her eyes and raised her voice, saying, "No!"

"I do not want."

“I can live on my own. If he really cared about me and my mother, he wouldn’t have abandoned us.”

Uh… Lin Jing looked at the other person in surprise. This person harbored resentment.

However, anyone in that situation would probably harbor hatred. The prince's separation from this Xuanmiao Sect female disciple was likely not due to any accident. If the prince truly loved this female cultivator, bringing her to the Ancient Domain wouldn't be difficult.

Instead of leaving without leaving anything behind.

It's definitely one of those irresponsible princes having an affair.

"Are you sure?" Lin Jing looked at her calmly and said, "What if your biological father has a higher status than you imagine? If you go back to his side, you won't have to go through so much trouble."

"No, I won't... Sooner or later, I will cultivate into a powerful cultivator and go to his side to question him about why he abandoned us!"

“Even the Nascent Soul Sect Master of the Xuanmiao Sect is nothing compared to your father,” Lin Jing said.

Yu Xun'er was stunned. Before Lin Jing spoke, she had never imagined that her biological father would be such an important person.

However, she immediately became even angrier. If he was such an important person, then he should not have let her and her daughter end up like this.

"No matter who it is!" she said resolutely.

"What if the other party is the ancient prince, currently ranked first on the Fortune Ranking, or the crown prince of the ancient clan?" Lin Jing asked.

The little girl doing odd jobs was stunned.

"My father is..."

"No, I was just using a metaphor." Lin Jing picked at his ear. In his memory, the ancient prince shouldn't be that unreliable; it was probably one of the other princes.

The first few children of the second-generation ancient emperor were all considered excellent, but I heard that the later ones were much worse, probably because he used up all his luck by having the first few.

"The ancient prince..."

"Let alone the ancient prince, even if my biological father were the Holy Son of the Demon Court, I would never let him off the hook!" Yu Xun'er clenched her fists, her aura completely different from before.

"...You also know about the Holy Son of the Demon Court." Lin Jing was surprised.

Good thing. At least in their eyes, the Holy Son of the Demon Court is much more powerful than the Ancient Prince.

"So, even though you have the blood of the ancient royal family flowing through your veins, you still don't want me to send you back?" Lin Jing asked.

"No need, thank you senior. I'm doing very well in the Xuanmiao Sect. This is my home." Yu Xun'er looked up at Lin Jing, her attitude resolute.

Lin Jing shook his head and said, "You can't cultivate to the level you want in the Xuanmiao Sect. I'll give you three choices: First, stay here; second, I'll take you back to your family; third, you can cultivate with me. Choose one."

"By the way, I wasn't lying to you earlier. Your true bloodline is that of the ancient royal family. You are the bloodline of a prince from an ancient kingdom who was lost to the world..."

"If you want to question the other party, it will probably be very difficult..."

Yu Xun'er was completely stunned. Wait, she really was... a descendant of the ancient royal family?
"Think it over carefully. Even if you are an illegitimate child, as long as you go back there, you can still become a respected figure. Even the current sect leader of the Xuanmiao Sect will treat you with respect."

"Then who is this senior..." Yu Xun'er began to doubt Lin Jing's identity. Judging from Lin Jing's willingness to take her back to the ancient clan, Lin Jing should be someone from the ancient kingdom or even her biological father's side. But besides that, Lin Jing actually wanted to take her to cultivate alone. For a moment, Yu Xun'er couldn't understand Lin Jing's intentions.

"Me? I am the Demon Court Saint Son you spoke of." Lin Jing looked at the other party with a strange gaze. If the other party didn't want to return to the Ancient Clan, he would take him with him for the time being and let the First Generation Elder make contact with him himself...

At the same time, Yu Xun'er was stunned. She never expected that the person in front of her was a figure even more legendary than the ancient prince. He was a monstrous genius who had turned the Tianyuan Continent upside down in less than a hundred years of cultivation and was even difficult to control when his immortal body was born...

The other party should no longer be a cultivator from the ancient kingdom... Could it be that the other party found her, a member of the royal family who had been separated from the royal family, for... Although she was only ten years old, growing up in a place like the servants' quarters, Yu Xun'er was no longer a ten-year-old girl who knew nothing. She had been absorbing all kinds of knowledge since she was very young, preparing for her future cultivation in the outer sect.

The Holy Son of the Demon Court... Could it be that he intends to cultivate and nurture me, a descendant of an ancient clan, and then use me, a puppet, to threaten or even overthrow the ancient kingdom?!
