The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Therefore, even the patriarch of the Sirius Clan, who considered himself to be extremely experienced, was now filled with doubt.

How did my daughter suddenly... gain the favor of a senior demon from the upper realm?

At this moment, Qin Qingqing, who was standing in front of the stone tablet, was completely dumbfounded.

Gazing at the ancestral spring floating in mid-air, he even forgot to collect it.

"This...this is for me?!"

The standard for the younger generation of the demon race is also under fifty years old.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Qingqing would have had to participate in the Hundred Saints Demon Festival at least five or six times since she came of age to receive so many gifts in total.

But now, it all feels like a dream.

However, what happened next was even more terrifying for all the demons present.

For decades, the demon ancestors had never spoken during the grand ceremony, but today…

He also made a rare public statement again.

"This little girl from the Sirius Clan is quite lovely... Please give my regards to her."

The sound echoed down from the heavens...

This time, not only the demon race was shocked, but even the human cultivators who came to watch the ceremony were dumbfounded.

There seems to be some explosive news here!

Those from the Upper Realm, regardless of who they are, are far stronger than anyone in the Demon Saint State.

And now, a demon ancestor from the upper realm has actually asked me to convey his greetings to that person... But who is that person?!
To be treated so well by the ancestors of the demon race, one must certainly not be an ordinary person.

However, many people thought about it carefully and found that there was no such talent in the Demon Saint State at all.

It should be noted that Xue Qianxiong, the strongest member of the Blood Serpent Clan in the Demon Saint State, is located here.

Aside from top-tier seventh-order demon kings like Xue Qianxiong, who are comparable to grandmasters of the Heavenly Realm...

Who else could be so highly regarded by the people of the upper realm of the demon race?

Upon hearing this, Qin Qingqing was completely stunned. Who did her ancestors tell her to greet?

That one?

Stunned, Qin Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor...who are you talking about?"

At the same time, the huge square, which had just been filled with noisy discussions, quickly and eerily fell silent.

Everyone wanted to hear what the demon ancestors from the upper realm would say in response to Qin Qingqing's question.

"Hehe, naturally it's the one who left the mark on you." A moment later, the voice of the demon race from the upper realm appeared again.

Furthermore, there seemed to be a hint of respect in his voice...

To leave a mark on oneself?!

Upon hearing this, Qin Qingqing was completely stunned.

Who left their mark on her?!
This demon from the upper realm did not linger by the stream that originated from its source. After a short while, it left the stream and restored tranquility.

Only the faint sound of the flowing stream could be heard coming down from the sky.

But at this moment, the Demon Saint Plaza had already completely exploded.

Numerous eyes were fixed on the Sky Wolf Clan princess standing before the Demon Saint Stele, some with surprise, some with shock, and some with disbelief.

No one could have imagined that Qin Qingqing of the Sirius Clan, who usually has no special talent, would be able to cause such a commotion at today's grand event!

Even the ancestors of the demon race from the upper realm spoke up themselves...

At this moment, Qin Qingqing felt more and more uneasy.

She suddenly realized... what might the marks her ancestors had mentioned be!
Could these be the "marks" left from when I was whipped by that human cultivator a few months ago?!

Thinking of this, Qin Qingqing suddenly felt dizzy and felt like she was about to break down.

Can that even be considered a mark?! That was the most humiliating thing for Qin Qingqing!
Qin Qingqing quickly collected all the ancestral springs floating in the sky, her expression somewhat off, and swiftly returned to the high platform of the Heavenly Wolf Clan.

Meanwhile, in another part of the crowd, Lu Ye's expression was slightly strange.

The mark on Qin Qingqing's body?

He knows it well...

Just now, he wondered if Qin Qingqing had noticed something.

In order to know her whereabouts and avoid her in advance, he planted a spiritual imprint on her.

The problem is, one's own spiritual imprint... shouldn't be able to play this role either.

After all, he wasn't a member of the demon race.

So, is there another mark on Qin Qingqing, or did that demon from the upper realm mistake her for someone else?
The high platform of the Sirius Clan.

As soon as Qin Qingqing stepped onto the high platform, Qin Chuan, the patriarch of the Sirius Clan, said in a deep voice, "Qingqing, come here quickly. When did you get any marks on your body?"

Qin Chuan sensed something was wrong from Qin Qingqing's expression.

Because Qin Qingqing's expression wasn't one of joy, but rather one of gritted teeth.

It seems to know what the mark on its body is, and who left it?
Hearing her father's words, Qin Qingqing hesitated, unsure how to begin. How could she tell others about this?

She said she saw a human cultivator with a good temperament, wanted to tie him up, and then... she ended up being tied up instead?
If this gets out, it will be a complete disgrace to the entire Demon Saint State!
"No... I, I don't know either." Coming to her senses, Qin Qingqing quickly said.

At this point, the only option is to play dumb.

Not sure?
Qin Chuan frowned upon hearing Qin Qingqing's words.

Qin Chuan didn't care how many gifts his daughter received, whether it was a lot or a little.

He will do his best to help his daughter reach higher levels and increase her self-protection capabilities and lifespan.

What I fear most is that Qin Qingqing has encountered some other trouble.

Since Qin Qingqing said she didn't know, Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, then used his spiritual sense to probe Qin Qingqing's aura and so on.

After going through it once, nothing unusual was found.

Qin Chuan's brows furrowed even more deeply.

If someone could be valued by the ancestors of the demon race in the upper realm, and if they wanted to harm Qin Qingqing... Qin Chuan immediately felt immense pressure.

Just then, a slight sound of surprise came from another high platform.

"what……"

Qin Chuan was a late-stage sixth-order cultivator, comparable to a late-stage Earth Realm Grandmaster. He instantly looked in the direction of the sound and discovered it was the Spirit Cat Clan's high platform on the other side.

The one who uttered the surprised and doubtful sound was the patriarch of the Spirit Cat Clan, who was also at the late stage of the sixth rank.

"Chief Ling, there seems to be some kind of mark on my daughter. Could you please take a look?"

The spirit cat race excels in speed and spiritual awareness.

So, Qin Chuan asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

The patriarch of the neighboring Spirit Cat Clan nodded and said, "Patriarch Qin, she does indeed have a mark on her body..."

At this moment, Qin Qingqing's heart was in her throat, feeling that she was about to become famous throughout the Demon Saint State.

She was instead tied up and whipped by a human cultivator, leaving behind marks...

At this moment, Qin Qingqing felt a pang of regret. If only she hadn't been so arrogant and domineering back then...

After a pause, the chief of the Spirit Cat Clan said, "This is a spiritual imprint, so ordinary people can't detect it at all."

Qin Qingqing: "???"

A spiritual...spiritual imprint?! (End of Chapter)
