"You want to follow me?" Jun Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.
He hadn't guessed Jun Linglong's thought.
Becoming a follower is a very common thing.
Each of the Jun Family's Top Ten Series has a group of formidable followers behind them.
They might be talented disciples within the Jun Family, or recruits from outside.
In short, every peerless figure cultivates followers, who will one day become a significant force.
Even his father, Jun Wuhui, once had a group of followers known as the Eight Divisions of the Divine King, each a hero in their own right.
Jun Xiaoyao had considered it, but since he's only three, he isn't in a hurry to recruit followers, so he hasn't given it much thought.
"Why?" Jun Xiaoyao asked curiously.
Is it because he broke the Ancient Extreme Realm?
"Just a feeling," Jun Linglong said with deep eyes.
That part of the future is something she found inconvenient to mention, as discussing it could bring about massive consequences.
Jun Linglong still couldn't bear such consequences.
"A feeling?" Jun Xiaoyao was speechless.
He sensed that Jun Linglong might know something, but she hadn't spoken it outright.
However, he had heard the occasional story about Jun Linglong.
Born with a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, her mind was sharp and insightful, quick to comprehend any cultivation and martial arts techniques.
If she doesn't fall, she's destined to become a saint.
This Proud Daughter of Heaven would be a celebrated figure anywhere, making her qualified to follow Jun Xiaoyao.
"Every day, it's my grandfather taking care of me, either preaching or nagging me to grow up and expand the Jun Family..." Jun Xiaoyao felt helpless.
Though he looked only three years old, his mind had long been mature, and facing a nagging old man all day, even if it's his grandfather, could be quite dull.
"Letting Jun Linglong act as a maidservant isn't bad either," Jun Xiaoyao thought.
He hadn't thought of cultivating Jun Linglong, but accepting her as a maidservant was something he could entertain.
If others knew of Jun Xiaoyao's thought, they'd likely have the urge to beat him to death.
He actually wanted to make the celebrated Proud Daughter of Heaven a maid?
Even members at the level of Jun Zhangjian only wished to invite Jun Linglong to become fellow cultivators.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to speak, a female voice rang out.
"Jun Linglong, you dare to suggest following someone?"
The one questioning was none other than Lan Qingya.
She didn't dare offend Jun Xiaoyao and had to turn her words toward Jun Linglong.
"What about it?" Jun Linglong replied calmly.
Facing Jun Xiaoyao made her anxious, but she felt no such compunctions with Lan Qingya.
"Young Master Sword personally extended an invitation to you, yet you refused him. Now, you suggest following someone else. Where does that leave Young Master Sword's reputation?" Lan Qingya said with a grim face.
Jun Linglong's action seemed a direct slap to Jun Zhangjian's face.
"Jun Zhangjian is excellent, but the one I, Jun Linglong, choose to follow, will be someone who will dominate the era!" Jun Linglong spoke with a hint of fervor.
"Oh... dominate an era? Do you mean him?" Lan Qingya said instinctively, her words unrestrained.
"Hmph, where does this ill-mannered behavior come from!"
Before Jun Xiaoyao could speak, Jun Zhantian's brow furrowed, and he flicked his sleeve!
Pfft!
Lan Qingya's delicate body was sent flying, harshly falling to the ground with blood trickling from her lips.
This was Jun Zhantian holding back, disinclined to destroy Lan Qingya.
"If there's a chance in the future, I'd like to spar with Brother of the Sword Race, but as for you, begone..." Jun Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.
He didn't even wish to bother with such a minor character.
Lan Qingya's face turned pale, and casting a reluctant glance at Jun Linglong, she turned to leave.
Jun Linglong remained indifferent, her eyes steadily fixed on Jun Xiaoyao, her beautiful eyes revealing a pitiful look.
If it were any other male, they'd probably have agreed eagerly.
Jun Xiaoyao, after pondering for a moment, asked, "Can you pour tea?"
This question left everyone stunned.
Jun Linglong was also momentarily dazed, but she instinctively nodded.
Though she had never done such work, it didn't mean she couldn't.
"Can you do laundry and fold the bedding?" Jun Xiaoyao asked again.
Jun Linglong continued to nod with a bewildered expression.
"Good, then I agree," Jun Xiaoyao said decisively.
Now, both Jun Linglong and those around realized it.
It turned out Jun Xiaoyao wasn't choosing a follower but selecting a maid.
All the male prodigies present looked on with envy and jealousy.
Letting Jun Linglong be a maid wasn't something anyone could achieve.
Jun Linglong herself was taken aback for a moment, she, a dignified Proud Daughter of Heaven, was really to become a maid?
But at the thought of that glimpse of the future, Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes showed determination.
She gently parted her lips and asked, "Since Lord Divine Son asked so much, may Linglong ask one question too?"
"What question?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"If Lord Divine Son becomes Celestial Emperor in the future, what would happen?" Jun Linglong asked, her eyes fixed intently on Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao was momentarily at a loss, then smiled gently and shook his head, "Very simple..."
"As Celestial Emperor, I will slay all enemies of the world!"
As soon as Jun Xiaoyao finished speaking,
Thunder erupted from beyond the heavens, the sky and clouds were shaken!
Words and laws follow, causing the world to change color!
Everyone revealed a look of astonishment, having never seen such a sight.
Jun Zhantian took a deep breath, his expression incredibly complex.
"Wuhui, your child is indeed just like you back then, full of lofty aspirations..."
Jun Zhantian understood that this statement marked the beginning of a great destiny for Jun Xiaoyao.
Just as Jun Xiaoyao spoke these words.
In a Life Forbidden Area of the Immortal Realm, an ancient, hoarse voice emerged.
"The Jun Family of this generation is quite ambitious, heh heh..."
Elsewhere, from an ancient Spirit Mountain where Divine Phoenix danced and True Phoenix soared, a cold mocking voice echoed.
"Slay all enemies of the world, heh... Is Jun Wuhui's descendant so arrogant?"
In another Ancient Nest where Dragon Veins converged, came a cold voice.
"This era's Emperor's Road will appear, and our lineage's Long Aotian and other descendants will make the Jun Family and other Ancient Desolate Families understand what it means for a celestial pride to shed blood and all is desolate!"
Jun Xiaoyao likely hadn't anticipated that his casual words would cause such a stir.
When he came to his senses, he found Jun Linglong's eyes shining brightly, fixed squarely on him.
"What's wrong?" Jun Xiaoyao touched his own face.
"Linglong is willing to follow Lord Divine Son closely!" Jun Linglong finally made up her mind, unwavering.
From that one sentence, Jun Linglong understood a lot.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded, this gain was indeed perfect.
Having checked in and obtained the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength, breaking the Ancient Extreme Realm, he received a Heavenly Dao reward, the Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization Method.
He even obtained three Immortal Divine Medicines gifted by the Eighteenth Ancestor.
Finally, he even recruited a blonde girl as a maid, making his accomplishments perfect.
