Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

As he was speaking, Lu Chan was about to take out the gift he had prepared for her.

But at this moment...

Zhu Yanxiang was stunned when she heard what Lu Chan said.

Has the goal been achieved?

After that, is it no longer necessary to do this?

After she had her fun with herself, did she want to abandon herself?

The next second, to everyone's near-dumbfounded stare, Zhu Yanxiang raised her pink high heel and stomped hard on Princess Zijing's toes.

"Click!!"

"I will never speak to you again!!!"

As her aggrieved voice faded, Zhu Yanxiang turned around, tossing her long, wavy, peach-pink hair, wiping away her tears as she quickly walked away.

Seeing that her figure was about to disappear at the entrance of the auditorium, the Ice Emperor and the giant flesh-eating demon hurriedly followed.

"Miss Zhu Yanxiang, please wait a moment!!"

"It's too dangerous to travel alone in a place like this!!"

Watching their retreating figures.

Princess You also looked somewhat conflicted.

She was also affected by her lover's miracle.

However, because she had a better relationship with Princess Zijing, it was impossible for her to follow Zhu Yanxiang.

"That Zhu Yanxiang stomped on it pretty hard..."

Lu Chan sighed.

Then, seeing that the Netherworld Princess was still in a daze, she quickly took out a small bottle containing a few strands of crimson silk threads and said to the Netherworld Princess, "Netherworld Princess, you should go after her too... If you have the chance, please give this to her for me."

"Ah...?" The Netherworld Princess was slightly taken aback at first, but after regaining her senses, she nodded.

"Princess Bauhinia, I hope to reunite with you as soon as possible."

The Netherworld Princess had no idea that the bottle contained two remnants of the Ten Sacred Flames - Thousand Threads of Red Fire. She easily put away the bottle and quickly caught up with Zhu Yanxiang and the others.

At this point, the auditorium finally became much quieter.

Ji Xiaoli moved closer to Lu Chan and whispered, "Auntie, has your little lover run away?"

"Is there some misunderstanding between you two? In my experience, it's best to clear up these kinds of small misunderstandings as soon as possible. Otherwise, in such a dangerous place, it could easily escalate into a bigger problem, or even become a ridiculous misunderstanding that can never be resolved in a lifetime!"

But before Ji Xiaoli could finish speaking...

Lu Chan slapped her head hard and chuckled, "What experience? What ridiculous misunderstanding? You're just a little girl who doesn't even have a Daoist partner, what do you know about love and romance?"

"..."

"Auntie, it hurts so much!" Ji Xiaoli muttered softly, "I just heard about it, just heard about it~~~~"

Lu Chan, on the other hand, waved his hand dismissively and said righteously, "This kind of problem isn't even a misunderstanding, okay..."

"And let me tell you, you can only think that way because you don't understand fire-type weapon refiners. Their so-called anger is all bark and no bite."

Seeing that Lu Chan was becoming increasingly self-satisfied, Ji Xiaoli nodded thoughtfully: "I see..."

Wu Wangfei thought to herself, "In my opinion, you're a complete madman when it comes to love."

Listening to Lu Chan's words and deeds, Ji Xiaoli asked with some curiosity, "Auntie, from what you're saying... does that mean you have to specifically look for a fire-type weapon refiner when looking for a Daoist partner? Don't they have any shortcomings?"

"No, of course there is..."

Lu Chan pondered for a moment, then explained, "They can be a bit silly at times, and their sex drive is quite strong, but compared to weapon refiners from other disciplines, they are definitely much better."

After saying that, she shook her head indifferently: "Forget it, let's not talk about such boring things."

"Xiao Li, you'll be coming with me for now."

Ji Xiaoli thought for a moment, then obediently nodded: "I understand, Auntie."

After transmitting her thoughts, she looked at Wang Mu, with whom she had a good relationship, and said with a hint of apology, "Wang Mu, I'll have to leave things to you alone for a while. Princess Zijing and I still have some tasks to complete."

She felt it was somewhat inappropriate to have Wang Mu, an outsider, join her aunt's company.

She didn't want to have to use voice transmission even to call out "Auntie" all the time.

"Okay, okay, I understand~~~" Wang Mu sighed softly, then left with his hands in his pockets.

This guy is quite carefree.

Soon, only Ji Xiaoli and Lu Chan remained in the auditorium. Only then did Lu Chan slightly narrow his pale purple eyes and say with a hint of seriousness, "Xiaoli, your technique still has many areas that need improvement. I will teach you properly in the coming days."

The Sacred Realm of White Snow is fraught with danger, and there are probably many hidden emperors and even demigod-level spiritual artifacts. The massive spiritual energy contained here is the perfect breeding ground for a weapon refiner to achieve a leap in skill.

After all, based on Lu Chan's analysis of several battles he observed...

Although Ji Xiaoli is the number one weapon refiner in Taoyuan Township.

However, that ranking was based solely on the performance in the first round of selection tests, which was as absurd as her own ranking at the bottom with 75th place.

But actually...

In Lu Chan's eyes, if Ji Xiaoli and Zhu Yanxiang were to fight with all their might, she probably wouldn't be able to last even a few breaths against that woman.

That is why Lu Chan was so curious about Zhu Yanxiang's past life.

As Lu Chan spoke, he led Ji Xiaoli out of the auditorium.

Looking at the girl with long, snow-white hair in front of him, and the magnificent back of her with purple hair tails dancing wildly like sword blades, Ji Xiaoli's eyes revealed a hint of longing.

She eagerly chased after him, saying, "I'll learn from you, Auntie!"

"Oh, right, Auntie, could you teach me that explosive acceleration flying technique you used before?" Ji Xiaoli gently shook Lu Chan's arm and asked eagerly.

"Hmm... let me think... that move isn't quite right for you."

Lu Chan thought for a moment, then explained softly, "However, I do have a flying ability that is more suitable for you."

"If you want to learn, from now on... you must maintain a state of full spiritual energy bursting forth even when you walk, and you absolutely cannot stop until your spiritual energy is completely depleted each time."

"..."

Now is not the best time to face the snow directly.

More importantly, Lu Chan never expected to encounter her biological daughter here; therefore, she must at least make Ji Xiaoli stronger before the final moment arrives.

In this way, even if I die in a battle of gods...

Ji Xiaoli will surely become a master craftsman of divine artifacts in the future.

Spring goes and winter comes; time flies by in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Northern Yan territory:

Fifth-Rank Sacred Land - Water and Sky Misty Waves Sect:

Pure and flawless, the silvery-white palace walls are adorned with wisps of azure-blue mist.

In front of the dressing table in the boudoir, several maids were busy doing the hair and makeup of a young girl with long, light blue hair.

The girl's long hair was braided into low twin ponytails that resembled a mermaid's tail.

Her pair of sapphire blue eyes were calm and indifferent as she looked at the reflection in the mirror... a face that no longer resembled her former stunning beauty, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

She wore an extremely gorgeous water pipe robe; and all over her robe, wisps of gray smoke, like ribbons, surrounded her, and these wisps of smoke seemed to be real living things, drifting and elusive.

This young girl is the newly appointed Holy Maiden of the Shui Tian Yan Bo Sect.

【Shenquan·Nanhe】

The maid behind her, while combing her long hair, said, "Your Highness Nanhe, congratulations on becoming the new Holy Maiden of the Shui Tian Yan Bo Sect. As a result, you will represent the Shui Tian Yan Bo Sect in next month's Imperial Court Grand Prize."

"This battle is of paramount importance; it may even determine my hopes of advancing to the second-step Emperor level!"

"Don't underestimate our Northern Smoke Realm just because it's a relatively remote state. I've heard that once you step into the second step of the Emperor Realm, you might be noticed by the weapon refiners of the Divine Continent, marry into the Divine Continent, and leap into the Divine Gate!"

"No, no, no, I've heard that to even have a chance of entering the Divine Continent, one needs at least a demigod-level spiritual weapon after completing the Trial of the Gods..."

I heard several maids chattering amongst themselves.

Nanhe tossed a strand of her light blue hair aside and asked softly, "Then, has the Holy Land found out any news about Princess Zijing?"

"..."

"no……"

"After she became emperor, she left the Northern Border immediately, and now her whereabouts are unknown..."

A maid explained, "Your Highness Nanhe, if you ask me, even if Princess Zijing had a deep influence on you back then, she was ultimately just an ordinary Emperor-level weapon refiner."

"And Your Highness Nanhe, you are not only number one in the imperial path! You are also the most watched weapon refiner in the Northern Smoke Realm, ranked number one!"

"Besides, didn't the weapon refiners sent by the Great Realm already investigate that matter back then...?"

"Based on the traces of spiritual energy, everyone knows that you are the true 'miracle' weapon refiner, while Princess Zijing merely stumbled into the divine war with malicious intent and was not truly targeted by the divine artifacts!"

"..."

"Shut up……"

Suddenly, Nan He said coldly, "You, all of you, get out."

"Leave immediately!"

Sensing the coldness in her words, the maids all trembled slightly.

They nodded in panic and left one after another.

After the door was closed, a maid said anxiously, "Honestly, why did you have to bring up Princess Zijing in front of Prince Nanhe!"

"I heard that Princess Zijing and she were once Daoist partners, but after she became emperor, she abandoned Prince Nanhe..."

Earlier, the maid who had angered Nanhe whispered resentfully, "I'm only doing this for Princess Nanhe's own good, aren't I? If she can become the sect leader of the Shui Tian Yan Bo Sect in the future, and then marry a weapon refiner from Shenzhou, our Shui Tian Yan Bo Sect might be able to challenge for the legendary fourth-grade holy land..."

"Princess Nanhe is so illustrious right now, but those weapon refiners in the Northern Territory seem to be bewitched, firmly believing that Princess Zijing is the strongest weapon refiner from the Northern Territory. Won't this affect how other emperors view Princess Nanhe?"

The girl at the front sighed, "In any case, the Imperial Awards are about to begin. In any case, it's best if we don't spoil Princess Nanhe's mood at this time."

"..."

"..."

I heard the footsteps of the maids receding into the distance.

Nanhe then relaxed considerably.

She regained her usual gentle expression and sighed softly: "Lu Chan, you said that we are both Divine Refinement Masters, and that we will meet again in other places someday, but... you probably won't be going back to the Northern Smoke Realm to participate in the Imperial Court Grand Prize, right?"

"Then I have absolutely no idea what level I need to cultivate to catch up with you?"

"but……"

A hint of nostalgia gradually appeared in Nanhe's sky-blue eyes: "However, I do understand what you said back then."

Back then, when they were students at the Zijing Weapon Refining Academy.

The day Zijing Academy first entered the main tournament of the Northern Saint State League was the day they traveled to Saint Star City by airship.

Lu Chan once said to himself in his room...

Once you go to a more bustling place, you won't want to go back to where you started.

When one can defeat an emperor alone, or even make an emperor submit to one's knees, one can understand that... a weapon refiner's desire to become stronger is endless.

After defeating the Superb, he wanted to become an emperor.

However, when the day actually comes, one will not be satisfied with the first step of becoming an emperor, but will want to try to become the second step emperor, a demigod... or try to break through to the third step emperor and become the legendary fourth step emperor.

In any case, let's continue cultivating for now.

"At the very least, before the Imperial Court's Grand Prize, Xiu Yu Pian Ge must be reforged into a legend..."
