While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 417 Enchanting

In this vast world, countless races coexist, and the forces here are scattered like stars in the sky, with vast disparities in strength.

In this vast world, many colossal beings have also been born. The foundation of these forces far surpasses that of ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns, making them the most powerful existences in the Great Thousand World.

Among them are the five ancient divine races: the Futu Ancient Race, the Maha Ancient Race, the Tailing Ancient Race, the Heitian Ancient Race, and the Huanggu Ancient Race.

These five ancient clans have each been passed down for countless ages, with unfathomable depths of knowledge. Not only do they each have several powerful figures at the Heavenly Sovereign level, but some of them also possess unparalleled secret techniques and primordial Dharma bodies. Their strength is so great that even in the entire Great Thousand World, few forces can rival them.

They stand like towering giants at the top of the pyramid of the world, and every move they make is enough to affect the changing winds and clouds of the entire world.

Qing Yanjing is a member of the Futu Ancient Clan!

"When I said I needed to think things through between us, it wasn't just because of Xiao'er and their mother; I also had my own concerns."

"You know I come from the ancient Futu clan, but there are some things about our clan that you probably don't know."

"According to the old folks in the clan, I am considered a goddess of the Futu Ancient Clan, so my future husband must not be an ordinary person either."

"Before I left the Futu Ancient Clan, there were already voices within the clan wanting me to marry Maha Tian of the Maha Ancient Clan. They felt that since we both belonged to the ancient divine race, this marriage would be of immense benefit to both clans. They believed that my marriage to Maha Tian might be able to break the rules and lead the clan to unprecedented heights."

"But I fundamentally oppose this arrangement. I don't want to become a bargaining chip to strengthen my community. What I want is a free and spontaneous love, even if it's not as wonderful as I imagine and may have all sorts of problems. But as long as it's my choice, I will never regret it!"

"That's why I insisted on leaving my tribe to gain experience."

"Now it seems my choice was right. If I had been trapped in my tribe, I would never have met you. I trust my judgment; it's no worse than those old fogies'. And I trust you even more; you are far superior to that Maha Tian!"

As she said this, Qing Yanjing looked up at Chen Xiao, the disdain and indifference she had shown when discussing the marriage alliance fading from her eyes, replaced by a burning light—a firm and unwavering conviction.

The corners of her lips were slightly raised, seemingly with a hint of disdain for the shortsightedness of the old folks in the clan, yet also concealing complete approval of the person before her. Even the shoulders she leaned against in his arms straightened slightly, and the certainty in her tone transformed into a clear and visible radiance in her eyes, open and passionate.

"Recently, Maha Tian has taken the position of patriarch of the Maha Ancient Clan and is riding high. The old guys in the clan have sent me a message urging me to go back. I don't need to think about it. They must want to bring up the marriage alliance again and put this matter on the table."

Nestled back into Chen Xiao's arms, Qing Yanjing chuckled, as if she were telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

But she knew perfectly well that she was incredibly lucky.

If this experience hadn't led to a connection with Chen Xiao, or if the person with whom he had a connection was mediocre in strength and potential—

Therefore, she could not possibly be so composed at this moment!

Perhaps, when they received the message from the clan, they were already burdened with a heavy responsibility. At that time, in order to avoid having their future arranged by those old guys, they might do something that would shock others.

Fortunately, there are no more "what ifs" now!

Even now, Chen Xiao possesses genuine Heavenly Sovereign strength, holding a prominent position in the Great Thousand World and enjoying unparalleled prominence.

And this is merely the brilliance he created in just a few short years after arriving in this vast world.

Qing Yanjing firmly believed that if things were to drag on for a few more years, Chen Xiao would be able to remain calm even when facing the Futu Ancient Clan and the Maha Ancient Clan.

Moreover, she was confident in herself, believing that the day she returned to the Futu Ancient Clan, she would definitely surprise those old guys.

Because of all of the above, she didn't feel very nervous when she received the message from her clan; she was just a little dazed.

Chen Xiao lowered his eyes and gazed at the person in his arms, his fingertips gently combing through her smooth hair. His movements were as gentle as water, but his words were firm and unwavering.

"Ignore them. As long as you don't want to leave, no one can take you away. Even if a Celestial Supreme or a Saint Supreme comes to force you, it's absolutely impossible."

People in this vast world only see Chen Xiao as a rising star of the Spirit Rank Heavenly Sovereign, unaware that his situation is somewhat special.

From the moment he stepped into the Heavenly Supreme Realm, this vast world was no longer a threat.

Not to mention that the clashes with the ancient Futu and Maha clans are still in the future, even now, at this very moment, if these two ancient divine clans were to attack, they would be powerless against him.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing's delicate body trembled slightly. She looked up into his deep eyes, where there was no hesitation, only a calm and steadfast determination, like the earth and mountains, which put people at ease.

"If you trust me more than the Maha Heaven, I will never let you down. If the people of the Futu clan dare to coerce you in the future, or if the Maha clan harbors evil intentions, I will personally accompany you on this journey."

"By then, I'll show those old fogies that the people you chose were never mediocre, and your judgment is a million times better than theirs!"

It would be best if this matter could be resolved peacefully, after all, Qing Yanjing is not without feelings for the Futu Ancient Clan.

But if things are beyond our control, we'll have to prove ourselves with our own hands!

As Qingyan gazed at the sharpness and tenderness intertwined in his eyes, she felt a surge of warmth well up from the bottom of her heart, instantly engulfing her entire body.

She could no longer restrain herself. She gently raised her hand and slowly wrapped it around Chen Xiao's neck, pressing her burning cheeks tightly against his strong shoulders. Her voice was soft and tender with a hint of emotion, yet it also held a burning passion: "Chen Xiao—"

These few simple words seem to contain all her emotions.

She tilted her head slightly, her soft lips boldly pressing against his.

The kiss started lightly, like a butterfly's wing brushing against her. She could feel his body pause slightly, feel the warmth of his palm caressing her waist, and she became bolder. The entanglement between their lips and teeth gradually intensified, and she poured out all the feelings in her heart.

Chen Xiao lowered his eyes, steadily catching her gentleness and her unreserved passion.

He could clearly feel the slight trembling of the person in his arms. It was not fear, but the palpitation after being moved by love, a sincere surrender. This feeling made the tenderness in his heart grow stronger, almost overflowing.

The soft, warm light outside the tent filtered through the hazy gauze curtains, casting a hazy, tender glow on the intertwined figures of the two, gently softening the moment in the room.
