”Come over here, Junior Brother.” Lady Xiang gestured for Yuan. ”You may not need this, but itʼs better to be safe than be sorry.”

Yuan nodded, and he approached her while anticipating what she was going to give him.

Once he was right in front of Lady Xiang, she said, ”Close your eyes.”

Yuan didnʼt question her request and closed his eyes.

The following moment, he would feel something soft and small pressing against his forehead, which prompted him to open his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, Yuan could only see a pair of luscious breasts hovering right in front of his face, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

Xu Jiaqiʼs mouth was wide open at this moment as her shocked eyes were glaring at Lady Xiang, who was giving Yuan a kiss on the forehead.

As the Holy Maiden, her actions right now would be considered a taboo, and it would surely create an uproar if the public knew of it.

The kiss didnʼt last long, only three seconds, but it felt like three hours to Xu Jiaqi. Perhaps it wouldʼve lasted longer if Xu Jiaqi didnʼt intervene.

”Are you done yet?”

Lady Xiang removed her lips from Yuanʼs forehead with a satisfied smile on her face.

”Iʼve just given you a blessing. It will automatically activate if it senses that youʼre in grave danger. I hope it will never activate, though.”

”Thank you.” Yuan smiled back, not thinking too much about the kiss on the forehead.

Sometime later, Xu Jiaqi spoke, ”Regarding your other request— about your physique. Unfortunately, I didnʼt have time to get the manuals since I came here immediately after getting the technique. When you return in six months, I will also be here with the manuals.”

”I understand. Thank you, Miss Xu.”

”Before you leave, there is one more topic that needs to be discussed.” Xu Jiaqi then said.

”What is it?”

Xu Jiaqi proceeded to tell Yuan about the situation in the Supreme Heaven and how many powerful Sects, Factions, and Clans had sent down people to hunt for a certain individual.

Yuan began sweating when he heard this information. Even though Xu Jiaqi said that they didnʼt know the true identity of this criminal yet, he knew right away when she mentioned Heavensʼ Judgment, and he pondered if he should tell her the truth.

”Honestly, even though I am telling you this, I am not telling you to hunt this criminal. Even if you come across this person, you arenʼt obligated to catch him. There are plenty of people who are capable of dealing with a mere criminal in Third Heaven. Though, you will receive a lot of good karma if you do, so thereʼs that.”

”I understand… I will try my best to catch him if I see him.” Yuan said with a stiff smile on his face.

”Here. Take this jade slip. It will burn if youʼre close to the criminal, who had been branded by Heaven during the judgment.” Xu Jiaqi handed Yuan a black jade slip.

Yuan silently stared at the jade slip with a dazed look on his face. He was wondering why the jade slip had no reaction even though he was right in front of it. Not that he had any complaints, as this situation worked in his favor.

After accepting the jade slip, Yuan left the Myriad of Techniques shortly after.

”So heʼs already left, huh? I still have something to give him, but that will have to wait until our next meeting now.” Senior Bai mumbled after learning that Yuan had left.

”Heʼll return in six months after the Nameless Emperorʼs Tomb.” Xu Jiaqi briefly explained the situation.

”Nameless Emperorʼs Tomb! Even with his talents, I cannot help but feel a little worried.” Senior Bai shook his head.

The Nameless Emperorʼs Tomb could be considered one of the most difficult Legacy Tombs in the Nine Heavens, after all.

”Why are you still here?” Xu Jiaqi turned to look at Lady Xiang, who was still lingering around for some reason.

Lady Xiang did not immediately respond and silently stared at her.

After a moment of silence, she asked in a low voice, ”Judging by how youʼre acting around that young man… Donʼt tell me you canʼt see the resemblance?”

”What are you talking about?” Xu Jiaqi looked genuinely puzzled by such a question.

”Unbelievable…” Lady Xiang sighed.

”Actually, now that I think about it, you werenʼt there to see his growth, so itʼs not that surprising that you donʼt see it…”

”What the hell have you been mumbling about since the beginning? You are acting weird today— very weird.”

”If you donʼt understand it, then I wonʼt bother.” Lady Xiang shook her head.

Naturally, she was referring to how Yuan resembled the founder of the Celestial Overlords.

Unlike Xu Jiaqi, who was picked up by the founder when she was just a little girl, Lady Xiang had been with him since much earlier, as early as his teenage years.

ʼThe resemblance is so uncanny that I thought Iʼd somehow traveled to the past…ʼ Lady Xiang sighed inwardly as she recalled her memories that are so old they can be considered ancient.

As she reached the exit, Lady Xiang turned around to look at Xu Jiaqi again.

”Heʼs probably already part of the Celestial Overlord, right?” She asked.

”Naturally.” Xu Jiaqi spoke in a manner that made it seem like there was no other option.

”Then I will give up recruiting him to my faction for now. Though, I will acquire him through other ways. Donʼt say I didnʼt warn you.” Lady Xiang waved at Xu Jiaqi as she entered the exit, leaving Xu Jiaqi no time to respond.

”Lady Xu, what happened? The Nine Heavens shook nonstop just now. This is the second time itʼs happened. I donʼt think this is a coincidence anymore.”

After a moment of silence, Xu Jiaqi mumbled, ”Itʼs definitely connected to Yuan. As for why itʼs happening, I donʼt have the slightest clue, nor is it our business. Iʼm leaving now.”
