Many Prodigies on the square were seeing Jun Xiaoyao for the first time.
They all held their breath in unison.
It felt as if they were witnessing a True Immortal manifest, walking among mortals!
"Greetings, Quasi-God of War!"
The entire square, countless Prodigies, all bowed in unison towards Jun Xiaoyao, their voices thundering.
God of War was the highest honor pursued by all of the younger generation in the Foreign Lands.
And a Quasi-God of War was only one step away from that supreme honor.
From this, it was evident that Jun Xiaoyao's prestige and status in the Foreign Lands were even higher than some Emperor's Sons and Heavenly Maidens.
Not to mention that he was also the unparalleled Chaotic Body, and countless people wanted to curry favor with Jun Xiaoyao.
Even a single drop of blood bestowed by Jun Xiaoyao was a priceless treasure!
"Yu Xiaoyao…"
Li Jiuming and others felt a hint of discomfort when they saw Jun Xiaoyao arrive.
What made them even more annoyed was that Jun Xiaoyao seemed to not even see them, not even casting a glance their way.
What did this signify?
To Jun Xiaoyao, these defeated opponents were no longer worthy of even a shred of his attention.
"My Lord, I come from the Cursed Demon Race and possess the Cursed Spirit Body; I hope to become your follower!"
A man covered in curse marks, with a nervous and uneasy expression, bowed to Jun Xiaoyao and said.
"My Lord, I come from the Ghost Eye Royal Clan; I am willing to become your follower!"
"My Lord, I come from the Purple Feather Race; my name is Zilin. As long as my Lord will take me in, I will have no complaints, even if I am a slave!"
"My Lord…"
The surroundings immediately became noisy, with countless Prodigies scrambling to introduce themselves, hoping to gain Jun Xiaoyao's favor.
Even just being by the side of the Chaotic Body was a great Opportunity.
Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly and raised his hand, pressing it down.
Instantly.
The entire place fell silent.
Such an aura and control ability made Li Jiuming frown deeply.
Did Jun Xiaoyao already possess such prestige among the younger generation?
Even those Emperor's Sons and Heavenly Maidens had no more than this level of prestige.
And just as the entire place was silent.
Yue Dai Fairy, however, twisted her graceful waist and stepped forward, her stunning face adorned with a charming and confident smile, and she said softly.
"My Lord, I come from the Quasi-Emperor Clan, the Blue Moon Clan; my name is Yue Dai."
"I admire your demeanor, my Lord, and wish to become your follower. May I, Yue Dai, be granted this Opportunity?"
Yue Dai Fairy said, and then bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.
However, what made Yue Dai Fairy's beautiful face freeze was this.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze merely swept over her indifferently before landing on the dirty red-clad girl beside her.
These two girls were like heaven and earth.
Yue Dai Fairy's expression changed, thinking that Jun Xiaoyao was bothered by the dirty girl.
She turned her head and coldly rebuked, "Why aren't you leaving? Yue Dai doesn't want to make a move in front of my Lord, lest it soil his eyes!"
Su Hongyi endured the pain.
Her eyes, hidden by her messy bangs, looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
In her eyes was a figure like an Immortal.
Too beautiful.
So beautiful that Su Hongyi felt it was somewhat unreal.
"Su Hongyi, greets... greets my Lord, I'll leave now..."
Su Hongyi kowtowed to Jun Xiaoyao and turned to leave.
She herself detested herself, and even less did she want to defile that peerlessly transcendent Young Master.
"Wait…"
A faint voice sounded.
Su Hongyi froze.
Yue Dai Fairy froze.
All the Prodigies present froze.
They watched as Jun Xiaoyao walked up to Su Hongyi and examined her.
Then he actually reached out directly and lifted Su Hongyi's messy bangs.
Immediately.
A pair of scarlet eyes, as red as blood, met Jun Xiaoyao's gaze.
Those scarlet eyes seemed to be formed from fresh blood, and within them were tiny black curse marks.
They looked eerie and enchanting.
However, the girl's face was covered in hideous and distorted scars, like centipedes, which even seemed to be wriggling.
They looked disgusting and nauseating.
Somewhat ruining the beautiful and eerie sensation.
"My... my Lord, don't look at Hongyi, Hongyi is ugly..."
Su Hongyi was almost in tears, wanting to cover her face with her hands.
"My Lord, that girl is very dirty..." Yue Dai Fairy said, biting her lip.
Su Hongyi's body was dirty and messy, a mixture of filth, blood, and dust, looking nauseating.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression, however, was extremely calm.
He was naturally not acting out of a sudden burst of kindness, pitying a beggar.
Rather, he had sensed an unusual fluctuation.
"This girl's body contains an extremely strong curse power, and all her Meridians are twisted, her bones cracked. It's a miracle she's alive now."
Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
If the curse power on Su Hongyi's body were placed on Yue Dai Fairy.
Its intensity would be enough to make Yue Dai Fairy die instantly!
But Su Hongyi had endured it and was still alive.
Wasn't what this meant obvious?
Compared to Su Hongyi, what was Yue Dai Fairy?
What if she was a Saint King?
Jun Xiaoyao, on the contrary, was somewhat interested in these special individuals with peculiar origins.
His previous followers, Yi Yu, Yan Qingying, Wang Chuan, Eternal Calamity Heavenly Maiden.
Which one of them didn't have their own distinct characteristics?
Jun Xiaoyao's followers were never ordinary people.
Originally, Jun Xiaoyao came to participate in this Heavenly Selection Grand Meeting only for the Prince of the Other Shore and Xuan Yue.
He had no intention of taking any followers at all.
But now, he had found a hidden gem, encountering an existence that piqued his interest.
"My... my Lord..."
Su Hongyi's body trembled like a quail.
Smelling her own stench, she felt utterly mortified.
She felt that her presence near Jun Xiaoyao was a defilement to him.
"What is your name?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Su... Su Hongyi." Su Hongyi felt flattered from the bottom of her heart.
Her previous wish was merely to catch a glimpse of Jun Xiaoyao from afar.
Who would have thought she could actually speak to Jun Xiaoyao?
And Jun Xiaoyao had gently lifted her bangs, seeing her eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao was not as unapproachable, cold, and arrogant as Su Hongyi had imagined.
"Su Hongyi..."
Jun Xiaoyao murmured; she was indeed true to her name, wearing a red dress, though it was somewhat dirty and worn.
Then, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly pointed a finger at Su Hongyi's glabella.
A surge of power was transmitted into Su Hongyi's body.
He wanted to temporarily suppress the curse power within Su Hongyi's body.
Su Hongyi felt a vast energy surge into her body.
The sensation of pain receded like a tide.
The hideous scars on her body also became somewhat lighter.
Of course, they still remained.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Su Hongyi's scarlet eyes trembled, filled with extreme gratitude.
Everyone had disdained her!
Everyone had treated her like a dirty bug from the sewer!
Only Jun Xiaoyao.
This person, whose identity and status were so high that Su Hongyi dared not even imagine.
He helped her.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's figure was forever etched in Su Hongyi's heart.
What was most precious was not adding flowers to the brocade.
But providing charcoal in the snow.
"My Lord... she is just a wild girl with no background, even lower than a slave clan, how can she be worthy of my Lord's attention?"
Yue Dai Fairy was somewhat bewildered.
She, a proud daughter of a Quasi-Emperor Clan, was less appealing than a lowly wild girl.
Jun Xiaoyao ignored Yue Dai Fairy and looked at Su Hongyi, slowly extending a finger.
A drop of Chaos blood was forced out from his fingertip.
"I give you two choices. First, accept this drop of blood, kill her, and you can become my follower."
"Second, leave directly, and I will not let anyone trouble you."
