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

Chapter 62 You're only fit to be a concubine.

"What?!"

"You might as well take a closer look. The current situation of our Nalan family is so similar to that of the Xiao family back then! Both of us have a family head who is a Dou Wang level expert and is seriously ill. As the heir to the family head, my strength is not much stronger than Xiao Zhan's. Xiao Zhan is a five-star Dou Shi, while I am only a two-star Dou Ling. In this capital city, I am really not worth mentioning."

"But I'm still here! I'm the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect. With the support of the Yunlan Sect, our Nalan family will surely be able to gain a foothold in the capital!"

"Yanran, don't get it backwards. It's not because you're the young sect leader that the Nalan family has the confidence it has today, but because you have the Nalan family backing you up, that's why you were able to become the young sect leader!"

"What... what does this mean, Father?!" Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran's expression clearly showed a hint of panic.

"Do you really think that once the Nalan family falls to the level of a second-rate power, the Yunlan Sect will still favor you as before? The Mittel family has many exceptionally talented members; although they are renowned for their business acumen, they have never neglected the cultivation of their younger generation. The royal family is also teeming with talent, with numerous brilliant individuals, and then there's the Mu family… Do you think the title of Young Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect belongs solely to you? No! It's merely a bargaining chip used by the Yunlan Sect to build connections! Don't think that just because you have a slightly better relationship with Yun Yun, you can rely on…" "Feelings made her pass the sect leader position to you. No, Yun Yun's sect leader status originates from Yun Shan. Have you ever seen Yun Shan? Do you even know what he looks like? You can bind Yun Yun with feelings, but can you really bind Yun Shan? Yun Shan has the power to depose you, the young sect leader, and even Yun Yun, the sect leader, at any time. Do you think that after the Nalan family truly declines, Yun Shan will still tolerate you, the young sect leader, clinging to the Yunlan Sect like a parasite, constantly absorbing resources without bringing any substantial benefits to the Yunlan Sect?"

"Hmph, you actually look down on Liu Ling? Don't forget, Liu Ling is the personal disciple of Pill King Gu He! That's no simple identity. Even if he doesn't achieve anything great in the future, just inheriting his master's connections and resources is enough for him to establish himself in this world. Moreover, his talent in cultivation and alchemy is quite outstanding. Given time, he will surely achieve something."

"Just think about it. If our Nalan family were to decline one day, how would you face yourself then? I'm afraid that if you wanted to marry Liu Ling, you wouldn't even be able to secure a concubine's position. Even if you were lucky enough to become her principal wife, what would you use to control her?"

"You must understand, by then, you will no longer have the protection of the Yunlan Sect, the support of Yun Yun, or the backing of the Nalan family. You will be like a bird with broken wings, utterly defenseless. Do you know the saying, 'Once you have something, you no longer cherish it'? If Liu Ling acts recklessly outside, taking many concubines, would you dare say a word? Probably not even half a word. At that time, what difference would you be from Xiao Yan, whom you considered a waste?"

Enraged, Nalan Su pointed his finger directly at Nalan Yanran's nose and shouted angrily.

Nalan Yanran was so shocked by Nalan Su's words that she staggered back. When the words "only fit to be a concubine" hit her ears like a hammer blow, she felt her pride crumble instantly. Her face turned bright red, as if her undergarments had been ripped off in public, leaving her extremely embarrassed.

Those self-proclaimed virtues of the past:

Statements like "My man, Nalan Yanran's man, is no ordinary man!" now sound utterly sarcastic.

"Xiao Yan is nothing but a useless piece of trash." Now I realize that I was blind and delusional, after all, I might very well be Xiao Yan in the near future.

And that "unparalleled genius of the Yunlan Sect, a talent rarely seen in a century" has all become a laughable lie of flattery that ultimately leads to ruin...

Every single thing is illusory.

Nalan Yanran's beliefs were shattered by these merciless words. Her former arrogance and aloofness now seemed to transform into a group of ferocious ghosts, surrounding her and eyeing her with predatory intent. They would swarm her and mock her with "Hahaha" as soon as the Nalan family showed any signs of weakness.

"Then...then...Father, what should we do now?" Nalan Yanran's voice was filled with fear, a fear she had never felt before, a fear that had seeped into her very bones. Countless chaotic thoughts surged into her mind like a tide, but in the end, they all turned into endless fear.

"What other options are there?! The most important thing right now is to quickly seek help from Pill King Guhe!!! Although Guild Master Fama once said that even if we find Pill King Guhe, there might not be a better solution, how will we know the outcome if we don't try? Even if Guhe is ultimately powerless, with his extensive knowledge and wide network of connections, he won't just be like Fama, sighing and lamenting without seeing a glimmer of hope, right?!"

"Aww!! I'll set off right now!" Nalan Yanran was thrilled upon hearing this. At this moment, all thoughts of romance, cultivation, and even the struggle for the sect leader's position were forgotten. Her grandfather's health was her only concern.

She didn't know she was wrong; she just knew her grandfather was dying! And after her grandfather died, she would probably only be fit to be a concubine.

……

Monster Mountain Range.

In the deep stone bed of the Monster Mountain Range, Zhong Li, though slightly tired, still managed to muster his strength and use his divine sense to survey this vast mountain forest.

Suddenly, a familiar aura quietly entered his senses. After careful consideration, he instantly realized that it was Xiao Yan, Yao Chen, and Little Fairy Doctor.

"How did they get here?" Zhong Li wondered, but his spirits lifted. He stood up and said to Yun Yun, "I'm going to fetch someone. If the food is ready but I haven't returned yet, you can eat first."

"Okay, I understand," Yun Yun replied casually.

Zhong Li's figure moved like lightning, disappearing into the depths of the cave in an instant.

When Yunyun witnessed this scene, she was initially surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood.

The latest novel is first published here!

She secretly speculated that this might be a deviation in her perception after her fighting spirit was sealed, which was a perfectly normal phenomenon.

After all, how could a Battle King possess such speed? Even if he did, it must be due to some kind of movement technique.

Yun Yun pondered to herself, "I wonder which faction this person belongs to, acting so mysteriously. He's probably not a citizen of the Jia Ma Empire, but perhaps from some neighboring empire. After all, I haven't mastered such advanced movement techniques and combat skills."

Zhong Li's figure darted through the monster forest like lightning, his speed astonishing...
