Chapter 314 The Impatient Princess Longji, the Awakening Hunt
A constellation of stars, like the moon surrounded by stars, supported a magnificent palace. The ever-changing nebulae emitted a dazzling glow that shone upon the palace, and auspicious clouds floated amidst the shimmering light.

The Flying Immortal Palace is a magnificent palace composed of stars. Each of its 108 halls has 36 pillars, and each pillar runs from top to bottom through a star world, drawing resources from it and transporting them through the mysterious and intricate patterns on the pillars to the hall, where they condense into star dew to supply the cultivation of the star lords who reside within.

Although each hall here corresponds to a star lord, not just any star lord is qualified to cultivate here.

The Heavenly Court is internally divided into numerous factions. Not to mention the original Heavenly Court Star Lords, the Star Lords promoted from the Investiture of the Gods, and the new Star Lords promoted after the Jade Emperor ascended to power, there are also quite a few Star Lords who have been conferred titles through conquest of the stars over the years.

Fortunately, Princess Longji was qualified to occupy a hall among them, based on both her status and cultivation.

This hall should have been named "Red Phoenix Hall", but Princess Longji disliked it and instead renamed it "Azure Phoenix Palace", taking the name of the former Azure Phoenix Palace on Phoenix Mountain.

The side hall where Hong Jin previously stored resources was an inconspicuous side hall in this Azure Phoenix Palace. Originally named "Koi Hall," it was shamelessly renamed "Dragon Virtue Hall" by him.

Originally, not many people came here because of Princess Longji's influence, but as Longde Xingjun's soul on the Investiture of the Gods collapsed, breaking the myth that "the gods live as long as the list exists, and the gods die when the list is gone," it instantly alarmed the Jade Emperor, who specially ordered Doumu Yuanjun of the Dou Department and Jiutian Yingyuan Leishen Puhua Tianzun of the Lei Department to thoroughly investigate the matter.

When Doumu Yuanjun was conferred the title of a deity, she was the Golden Spirit Mother, one of the four great disciples of the Jie Sect. She fought against the three great warriors alone, and was then ambushed by Randeng, which led to her death. For many years, she has been stationed at the Golden Palace of Ziwei, focusing on improving her cultivation and not concerning herself with external affairs. Even when she received a divine decree from the Jade Emperor, she only sent an edict to the Thunder Department, ordering Wen Zhong to take full responsibility for the matter. Whether it succeeded or failed, he was not to bother her and was to go to the Lingxiao Palace to ask for credit and punishment.

If anyone else dared to order Wen Zhong around like that, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Thunder God of the Nine Heavens would surely glare angrily and give that person a double whip. However, Doumu Yuanjun not only sits in the Golden Palace and commands 86 million star gods, but is also his mentor.

Wen Zhong accepted the order and left.

However, after Princess Longji returned to Qingluan Douque, she sealed off the surrounding star fields under the pretext of seclusion, prohibiting other immortals and gods, especially male immortals, from entering Qingluan Douque.

Even though Wen Zhong knew that Hong Jin's ordeal was mostly related to Princess Longji, there was a saying that one should presume innocence before being accused. Before he could find evidence to prove that Princess Longji was guilty, it was best not to provoke her.

Therefore, Wen Zhong summoned Deng Chanyu, the Six Harmonies Star Lord of the Dipper Department, and four goddesses from the Thunder Department: the God of Lightning, the God of Wind, and the God of Clouds, ordering them to request permission to enter the palace and investigate the matter.

The Lightning Goddess was formerly the Golden Light Holy Mother of the Jie Sect, the Wind Goddess was formerly the Hanzhi Fairy of the Jie Sect, and the Cloud-Rising Goddess was formerly the Caiyun Fairy of the Jie Sect. Although Hong Jin and they were all disciples of the Jie Sect, he betrayed the Jie Sect. Therefore, the three female immortals did not care about this matter. If Wen Zhong had not been there, they would have clapped their hands and cheered, saying "Good riddance."

Even now, as the three immortals followed Deng Chanyu into the Azure Phoenix Palace, they remained silent, like gourds with sawed mouths, only gazing at the surrounding scenery or looking down at the landscape of the starry world below.

Therefore, only Deng Chanyu bowed to Princess Longji and asked, "How is the Red Phoenix Star Lord? We have been ordered to investigate the case of the death of the Dragon Virtue Star Lord. May I ask if the Red Phoenix Star Lord has any clues?"

Princess Longji sat on a chair in the palace, still dressed in a bright and beautiful red dress. However, compared to her previous beauty, she now had a more enchanting and alluring charm. Her brows held a hint of spring passion, and her eyes were rippling with water. Every frown and smile seemed to stir up autumn waves. Even though Deng Chanyu was a woman herself, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

However, upon closer inspection, Deng Chanyu noticed that Princess Longji's fairy robes were not as concealing as before. Not only were her snow-white shoulders exposed, but her chest was also a patch of jade white, with a deep and unsettling cleavage. The long skirt was cinched at the waist, and the hem of the skirt was shaped into an alluring curve by her peach-shaped buttocks. Her long legs were parted, and on her bright white and rounded legs, ultra-thin red stockings outlined a circle of firm flesh that stirred the heart. The stockings couldn't help but slide down the slender lines, landing on her bare jade feet. The insteps were arched, and her toes, painted with crimson nail polish, traced graceful arcs in the air as her jade feet lightly touched the ground.

While she wouldn't call herself a repressed lewd or wanton woman, she was certainly sexy and alluring.

The Golden Light Mother, Fairy Hanzhi, and Fairy Caiyun had never been involved in matters of love between men and women. When faced with Princess Longji's charming attire, they simply found it extremely pleasing to the eye, unlike the rigid immortals of the Chan Sect.

However, Deng Chanyu and Princess Longji had a fairly good relationship. In addition, since both of them were forced to marry their defeated enemies, they had a lot of contact and naturally noticed Princess Longji's unusual behavior.

Being immortals, Deng Chanyu was naturally not so foolish as to be oblivious. Almost immediately, she deduced the truth—Princess Longji had likely met someone she admired, and as a woman adorns herself for her beloved, she radiated a dazzling spring glow. This person couldn't possibly be Lord Longde, so was it possible that Lord Longde was killed by this man?

Princess Longji noticed the change in Deng Chanyu's eyes and knew that she had probably guessed it. However, she was not worried at all and instead said nonchalantly, "I am at peace. However, it has been a long time since I last saw you. I think the Six Harmonies Star Lord looks quite haggard. Could it be that the Earth Mansion Star Lord has gone to the Starry Sky Small World to cause trouble again?"

Deng Chanyu's face immediately darkened.

Although both were married off to their defeated rivals, how could she compare to Princess Longji?

Even though Princess Longji could boss Hong Jin around, no one dared to interfere. The latter had to respect Princess Longji and dared not do anything to her.

Although she defeated Tu Xingsun, Tu Xingsun later betrayed Xiqi and became a grain and fodder official. Instead, she was captured and became a prisoner, forced to marry Tu Xingsun.

Despite not being qualified to work at the Flying Immortal Palace, Tu Xingsun was assigned to guard a star field. Unlike other immortals who were unwilling to descend to the mortal realm to avoid tainting their immortal bodies and hindering their cultivation, Tu Xingsun was happy to manifest his divine power in the star world and interact with beautiful women among mortals.

Such violations naturally incurred the displeasure of the Flying Immortal Palace, which punished Tu Xingsun multiple times. However, after paying the fines, he repeatedly failed to correct his ways, so the Flying Immortal Palace became too lazy to bother with him and simply used his resources.

However, this move also made Tu Xingsun a laughing stock in Heaven, and Deng Chanyu also suffered an undeserved disaster. When she argued with others, she was often scolded, "Tu Xingsun would rather go after mortals than you. There must be a reason for that," which always made her so angry that her face turned red.

Princess Longji's words now seem to be a direct address to her.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. At this moment, the case is the priority. Please..." Deng Chanyu naturally refused to mention that she had kicked Tu Xingsun in the bridal chamber because she found him disgusting. Although she did not cripple him, it left him with a trauma and he dared not get close to her again. He only pretended to be friendly in front of outsiders, but in reality, they had long since stopped caring about each other.

But Princess Longji was not about to tell them about Hong Jin's death so easily. She leaned back gracefully in her chair, yawned without warning, and said, "I am a little tired. If you want clues, go to Longde Palace to find them yourselves. I will not keep you here any longer."

After dismissing the somewhat unwilling Deng Chanyu and her three companions, Princess Longji leaned back in her chair, one hand supporting her snow-white, flaky melon, the other sliding down her waistline. Her eyes were unfocused as she said:
"My little darling, you'd better hurry up and conquer that world, I've missed you so much!"

……

……

A joyful world.

Zhang Kuang seemed to have a sudden realization, and instead of further training the third and fourth princesses who were stacking arhats, he chose to give them a wake-up call. The other two princesses were enlightened and looked weathered.

Then he turned his gaze to Yin Shi Wang, who looked severely injured inside the light barrier, his eyes filled with greed.

Awakening, it’s hunting time!
