Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 44 Yun Luoxi

However, she managed to suppress the thought for the time being.

"Okay, Master, Xian'er also wants to go." Little Fairy Doctor's lips curled up into a smile, and then she slowly stood up.

"Okay." After receiving Zhongli's nod of approval, Little Fairy Doctor happily skipped and hopped towards the door to put on her shoes.

Zhong Li slowly got up and followed Little Fairy Doctor's steps.

Led by a maid, the two slowly entered a deep and secluded secret chamber.

The moment you step inside, a chilling aura hits you like a shadow.

"Oh my, Mr. Zhongli, Miss Xian'er, you've both arrived." Ya Fei quickly stood up to greet them, her face beaming with a warm smile.

At this moment, a man in black robes in the middle of the room said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Now that Mr. Zhongli has arrived, please ask Miss Yafei to excuse herself. I will never go back on my promise."

Ya Fei shook hands with Zhong Li warmly. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes slightly and muttered, "Hmph, what a weirdo." Then she continued walking. "Then I wish you a pleasant chat." With that, Ya Fei slowly closed the door.

The black-robed man's gaze refocused on Little Fairy Doctor, causing a chill to run down her spine.

Zhong Li slowly moved to Ya Fei's previous seat, facing the man in black across the table.

"She is my apprentice, very obedient, and will never reveal the details of the negotiations without my permission."

The man in black robes turned his gaze back to Zhongli opposite him, his eyes still revealing suspicion.

"You agree, don't you, beautiful lady?" Zhong Li said with a smile and a calm tone.

……

As soon as Zhongli said this, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

After a moment of silence, the man in black slowly removed his disguise.

The man in the black robe slowly removed his mysterious black robe, revealing a head of dark purple hair that cascaded down his back. His delicate face exuded a mature charm, and every subtle change in his expression seemed to carry a hint of alluring temptation.

However, Zhongli remained calm and unmoved in the face of her deliberate display of charm.

"As expected of the renowned Mr. Zhongli of Wutan City, I just didn't expect that you are not the seven-star Dou Wang that Clan Chief Xiao had spread, but have already reached the three-star Dou Huang realm."

After speaking, the purple-haired woman swallowed nervously, then fixed her gaze on Little Fairy Doctor.

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, the purple-haired woman finally felt relieved.

"Since you are Mr. Zhongli's beloved disciple, then of course there is no problem. In that case, I will speak frankly. I wonder if Mr. Zhongli is interested in the matter of being granted a title and position?" The purple-haired woman's voice was full of anticipation and confidence.

“…………”

Zhong Li shook his head helplessly and said, "Not interested."

"what?"

"I have absolutely no interest in being granted titles and high positions, nor do I wish to be bound by others. If you have nothing else to say, I will take my leave now."

Zhong Li made a gesture as if he was about to leave, and the purple-haired woman hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Wait a minute, I was presumptuous and arrogant just now. I hope Mr. Zhongli will not take offense. I do have a business to discuss with you."

"Oh?" Zhongli slowly sat back down. Then, with movements as natural as flowing water, he deftly pulled out a steaming cup of fragrant tea from the mysterious lock of the mortal world. He then nodded slightly and said softly, "I would like to hear the details."

"Hoo..." The purple-haired woman slowly let out a long breath, the exhale seemingly carrying her inner astonishment and doubt. Clearly, she had never imagined that in this complex world, someone could so resolutely refuse the immense temptation of being granted a high-ranking position. Although the person before her was a Dou Huang-level expert, possessing great strength alone was insufficient to translate it into tangible power—a shared pain and helplessness undoubtedly felt by many powerful individuals.

"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush any longer." The purple-haired woman straightened her clothes slightly, her expression becoming solemn. "My name is Yun Luoxi. I'm sure Mr. Zhongli already had some guesses and associations when he heard this surname."

Zhongli nodded slightly, his expression indifferent: "Indeed, Yun Huhai left me with absolutely no good impression."

"Haha, Mr. Zhongli, please don't misunderstand. I am not Yun Huhai. He is the eighth son, while I am the eldest princess. In our Chuyun Empire, there is no distinction between men and women in the succession to the throne. Therefore, according to common sense, I am the first in line to the throne of this Chuyun Empire."

"Oh? So what? I've already heard what they were saying. It seems they're looking for someone." Zhongli calmly finished his tea. Little Fairy Doctor quickly stepped forward to refill his cup.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Mr. Zhongli is indeed exceptionally resourceful. You are right, they are looking for me. In fact, I have to thank Mr. Zhongli for reserving these two items of mine in advance. Otherwise, if Yun Huhai and his men had seen these two items, they would have definitely followed the clues to find me. I really did not expect that."

"So, what kind of deal does Miss Yun intend to make with me? Judging from your situation, if I help you, it seems that it would not only be a timely help, but could even be considered a meritorious act of supporting a rising star," Zhong Li said jokingly.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhongli, please don't joke. Yun Huhai and Xie Biyan, the leader of the Wanxie Sect, colluded to poison my father. Now the court has fallen under the control of the Wanxie Sect, and my two younger brothers have also suffered at the hands of Xie Biyan." At this point, Yun Luoxi unconsciously clenched her fists tightly, slamming them hard on the table with a heart full of resentment.

"So, you want me to take you back?" Zhong Li asked calmly, sipping his tea leisurely.

"No, that Scorpion Bi Yan is very powerful, having already reached the three-star Dou Zong realm. Moreover, his sect has three Dou Huangs and eight Dou Wangs. With just the two of us, it is really difficult to contend with him."

"So what exactly are your plans?"

"I must travel to an extremely secluded place to obtain the inheritance. Only the current emperor of Izumo and the current crown prince know its exact location. Speaking of which, I must once again express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Zhongli. After all, given my current condition, if they were to find me, it would be a certain death, with no chance of survival."

After speaking, Yun Luoxi bowed respectfully to Zhong Li, her bent waist almost at a right angle, showing her sincerity.

"I hope that after I receive the inheritance, Mr. Zhongli will answer my call and join me in returning to the Imperial City of Chuyun to completely annihilate the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!" Yun Luoxi said firmly and without hesitation.

"That's a good idea, but why should I help you?"
