I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Faced with Chu Feng's question, Fairy Yuechan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the trembling in her heart, and resumed her aloof appearance. However, her slightly flushed cheeks still betrayed the unease in her heart.

"Don't overthink it. The reason I'm reminding you is simply because my Guanghan Palace has some connection with the Human Emperor back then. I don't want his successor to perish in such an unclear way."

"Origins?" Chu Feng was even more curious.

Just then, the enchanting laughter of the enchantress suddenly rang in his mind.

"Hehehe, little brother, I do know a little about this older sister."

"Oh? Tell me about it," Chu Feng thought to himself.

"As far as I know, in ancient times, the Holy Maiden of the Guanghan Palace fell in love with the Human Emperor at first sight and pursued him relentlessly for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, her feelings were unrequited; the Human Emperor, that blockhead, only cared about the great cause of the human race and completely ignored her."

"In the end, the saintess died in sorrow. Before her death, she left a will, instructing the descendants of Guanghan Palace that if they encountered the successor of the Human Emperor, they must do their utmost to help him, so as to fulfill her regret from back then."

Chu Feng was utterly astonished upon hearing this.

Is this even possible?

Did the Emperor really have such a romantic entanglement back then?

He looked at Fairy Yuechan again, his gaze becoming somewhat strange.

The Moon Fairy felt uncomfortable under his gaze and snorted coldly, "That's all I have to say. You'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.

But that somewhat hurried figure, no matter how you look at it, looked like he was fleeing in panic.

The banquet soon ended in an eerie atmosphere.

The various prodigies, each carrying their own burdens, departed one after another.

Chu Feng was preparing to return to Dengtian Tower with the women when Bai Luoxue, supported by her maid, walked over.

"Young Master Chu, please wait."

"Is there anything else, Miss Bai?"

Bai Luoxue smiled slightly and said, "My father is currently in seclusion and cannot personally entertain Young Master Chu. Please forgive him. However, he specifically instructed me to have Young Master Chu visit the backyard after the banquet. He has something he wants me to personally deliver to you."

……

The night was as still as water, but the backyard of the city lord's mansion in Baidi City was as bright as day.

An exquisite pavilion sits in the heart of a shimmering lake, surrounded by a variety of exotic flowers and plants that exude a refreshing fragrance.

Chu Feng followed Bai Luoxue through a winding corridor and arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Inside the pavilion, fragrant tea and pastries had already been prepared.

"Young Master Chu, please have a seat." Bai Luoxue gestured for him to sit down and then took her seat in the main seat.

Chu Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down with an air of authority, picked up his teacup, but didn't drink it. He just quietly looked at her.

"Miss Bai, you didn't call me here alone just for tea and a chat, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoxue couldn't help but give a bitter smile. She coughed violently a few times, and her face became even paler.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Young Master Chu."

She carefully took out an antique sandalwood box from her bosom and gently pushed it in front of Chu Feng.

"When my father was young, he suffered a great calamity and almost lost his life. It was the first emperor who happened to be passing by and saved him. He even gave him some advice."

"This kindness will always be remembered by my Bai family and by my father."

"As his daughter, I naturally want to repay him in some way."

She opened the wooden box and saw a palm-sized breastplate, made entirely of an unknown bronze, lying quietly inside.

The mirror was covered with ancient and mysterious patterns. Although it looked ordinary, Chu Feng could feel an extremely terrifying aura emanating from it.

"This is……"

"This is a protective mirror passed down through my family in Baidi City," Bai Luoshe explained. "Although it is not an imperial weapon, it has reached the level of an ultimate holy weapon. Moreover, it contains a wisp of my father's original power, which can save Young Master Chu's life in a critical moment."

"My father said that Young Master Chu's journey will be fraught with danger. I hope this item will be of some help to you, and I also hope that Young Master Chu can once again display the supreme divine might of the Human Emperor on the Heavenly Pride Ranking."

Chu Feng looked at the protective mirror and couldn't help but feel moved.

The Supreme Sacred Weapon is a supreme treasure second only to the Emperor Weapon; even a Saint Emperor realm expert might not be able to possess one.

And now, the Lord of Baidi City has actually gifted him such a precious treasure.

This affection is no small matter.

Without any pretense, he put away the protective mirror and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Bai Luoxue.

"Thank you. I'll remember this kindness."

"Young Master Chu, you're too kind." A relieved smile appeared on Bai Luoxue's face.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was struck by another heart-wrenching fit of coughing, this time even coughing up a trace of black blood.

Her body swayed uncontrollably, and she almost fell off the stone bench.

"Miss!"

The maid who had been waiting by her side changed her expression drastically and quickly stepped forward to support her.

Zhao Xun, who was not far away, also appeared in the pavilion in a flash, looking at Bai Luoxue with a face full of anxiety.

"Miss, your body..."

"It's alright." Bai Luoxue waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to be nervous, but her pale face revealed an undisguised bitterness and loneliness.

"I'm just a dying person, no need to worry about it."

Chu Feng frowned deeply as he looked at her.

In his mind, he asked the Medicine King, "Medicine King, is there really no way to cure the Five Signs of Decay in Heaven and Man?"

The Medicine King's aged voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, echoed in his mind.

"Alas... It's difficult, far too difficult. The Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man is one of the most vicious curses in the world, directly affecting one's destiny and soul, and cannot be cured by medicine. Although I am known as the Medicine King, I am also helpless against it."

Chu Feng's heart sank.

Even the Medicine King couldn't help; it seems there's really no hope.

Just then, a gentle and peaceful voice, yet seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the universe, rang out.

"Who says there's no way?"

It's the Master!

Chu Feng's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked, "Senior Master, do you have a solution?"

The voice of Master Li Er carried a hint of a smile: "The five signs of decay in humans and celestial beings cannot be cured by medicine; this is true. Because it is not an illness, but a calamity of fate."

"However, all things in the world are interconnected and mutually restraining, and there are ways to resolve calamities. It's just that these ways are somewhat... special."

"What's the solution?" Chu Feng asked impatiently.
