Chapter 73: Mother and Daughter Chat
Ding
[Obtaining the Hidden Heaven, one of the Nine Heavenly Treasures, you will gain 200,000 Karma Points.]
Qin Yuan who was on his way to visit Jian Yixue opened his mouth slightly when he saw the mission that suddenly appeared.
"System, isn't this too much?" He couldn't help but ask.
[I'm sure it matches the difficulty level!]
The System's reply made Qin Yuan think.
'Am I not going to make it this time?'
'However, if even using the Immortal Devouring doesn't work, then what else can be used to obtain that Hidden Heaven?'
Qin Yuan stopped his steps and thought of another plan if it didn't work.
The problem is; if that failed, the Dragon or the possessor of the Hidden Heaven would probably expel Jian Yixue.
It would make Qin Yuan lose the spy in that place.
'Mnmm, I don't think it will go that far if Jian Yixue can convince him that I just accidentally discovered an oddity and came...'
'If he doesn't trust Jian Yixue, that means he doesn't trust the Hidden Heaven's ability to bind its members either.'
"I still have to try," Qin Yuan said before continuing on his way.
Jian Yixue was currently sitting on a chair in a city park, reading a book while eating a red apple that came from the tree behind her.
She sat with her legs crossed, still looking polite.
Her serious expression occasionally knitted her brows, giving off the aura of an educated yet strong noble young lady.
Any man who happened to pass by in front of her would definitely glance at her no matter how old they were.
Of course, glancing at her didn't mean they had lust for her.
The old men probably wished that their granddaughter would be like her while the middle-aged men thought she was the image of the ideal daughter-in-law.
Luckily this was a area where the inhabitants were quite weak, so no one recognized her even though they had probably heard of her name.
When the figure of a man suddenly stopped in front of her, Jian Yixue couldn't help but raise her head.
"May I sit down?" Qin Yuan asked just as her gaze fell on his face, leaving her with no other choice but to close the book she was holding.
"Why are you here?" She asked back.
"Why can't I come here?" Qin Yuan smiled faintly.
There was still enough space on each of her side, so he sat on one of them.
Whoosh!
An apple fell, which he immediately grabbed.
"Mm..." He took a bite, it turned out to be very sweet and soft.
"I have plans for the next secret meeting," said Qin Yuan.
As Jian Yixue looked at him, he began to explain what his plan was.
So that the effects of his actions would not be seen by people, he ordered her to go to a deserted forest.
"I understand!" Jian Yixue nodded after hearing all of his plans.
She then stood up, took a breath then left, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Phew!
Qin Yuan sighed.
'I hope she doesn't think I'm just using her,' thought Qin Yuan.

Meanwhile, on the Peaceful Sky Continent.
The Sky Butterfly Queen was relaxing in a garden with her daughter sitting by her side.
It was rare for them to sit together as the Queen was almost always busy with cultivation matters.
She only chose to relax because dhe felt quite tired after exploring the Heavenly Palace.
Now she was talking about the things she got in the Heavenly Palace and a bit of her experience.
Compared to the things she got, her daughter or Xia Jieyu seemed to be more interested in her experience.
"So when you arrived at the Heavenly Palace, you were separated from the Sword-Hearted Great Emperor and the others and were alone with the Eternal Star Ancestor? Doesn't that mean you guys continue to work together, going through many dangers together?" Xia Jieyu asked with a strange expression after learning about her mother's experience.
Before this Xia Jieyu did not understand much about male and female relationships. But because of her mother's anger after she told what the Eternal Star Ancestor had said, she began to study it.
Now she had understood and finally knew that it was something complicated.
The Sky Butterfly Queen's two wings moved slightly when she heard her daughter's words.
Her eyes seemed to remember that day.
"It's nothing unusual," she replied.
"Before reaching my current level, it was quite common for me."
"Is that true?" Xia Jieyu asked again, still with a strange expression.
The Sky Butterfly Queen then looked at her face.
"Why do you seem curious about the Eternal Star Ancestor? He's just one of those old men who thinks he's still young."
"Mom, you're old too," Xia Jieyu replied, making the Sky Butterfly Queen blush.
She pinched her cheeks and said, "Forget it, when it comes to age, even you are considered very old among mortals."
"Mom, the Eternal Star Ancestor seems to have a crush on you." Xia Jieyu was still not silent and said something that made the atmosphere tense.
"Where did you learn about that and how do you know he has a crush on me?" The Sky Butterfly Queen looked at her with sharp eyes, like she wanted to scold her.
Unfortunately Xia Jieyu could tell the difference when she was really angry and pretended to be.
"It was clear from the words he spoke," she replied.
It reminded the Sky Butterfly Queen of what her daughter had said.
"Huh..." She then snorted softly.
"Many guys have a crush on me, why should I care? If I responded to every guy who has a crush on me, I might have a million husbands by now."
"However," the Sky Butterfly Queen suddenly continued while looking at her daughter with a serious expression.
"What do you think of that man?"
"Eternal Star Ancestor? Mm, there's been a lot of news lately saying that he's become more handsome, even the most handsome among men," Xia Jieyu replied.
It seemed to be approved by the Sky Butterfly Queen.
"I don't know what skincare he used to change his face," she said in a low voice.
A shadow of Qin Yuan's face seemed to appear in her eyes as she said that.
Xia Jieyu couldn't help but tilt her head.
"What?" asked the Queen.
"No..." Xia Jieyu shook her head.

Note:
By the way, things like protagonists don't exist here, if anything, then all Divine Emperors can be considered one because they fought very hard and had a lot of luck to become Divine Emperors.
