The story was finished.
Silence filled the room.
Even Jun Xiaoyao hadn't expected Luo Xiangling to have such a past.
She was originally a river in the Immortal Realm, but ended up becoming King Luo of the Exotic Realm.
Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but think of the Mythical Emperor, Mi Fei.
At the Snake-Human Race's Tai'e Divine Temple, he had conversed with a wisp of Mi Fei's Clone's remnant soul.
Although Mi Fei wasn't transformed from a river spirit, she was the goddess who presided over rivers, known as the Luo River Goddess.
In that case, Mi Fei should be an ancestral figure to Luo Xiangling.
"This is my past, this is my secret," Luo Xiangling said softly.
She had never told anyone about her past.
Now, however, she had revealed everything to Jun Xiaoyao.
Only Jun Xiaoyao was worthy of hearing her true feelings.
Jun Xiaoyao's doubts were completely resolved.
From the first time he saw Luo Xiangling, he felt she possessed an unusual innocence.
Her eyes held a pure quality.
Now that the truth was revealed, it made perfect sense.
Furthermore, Jun Xiaoyao was somewhat interested in the man from the story.
Just by sitting and comprehending the Dao of Heaven and Earth, he could cause a river to gain sentience and form a river spirit.
This proved that the man's Cultivation Realm was absolutely powerful.
"Was that man a Chaotic Body?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Luo Xiangling nodded slightly.
Jun Xiaoyao's doubts were further resolved.
Why Luo Xiangling was interested in him at first.
It turned out to be because he was also a Chaotic Body.
"Actually, at first, the reason I recommended you to become a Quasi-God of War was to cause you trouble."
"Because of that person, I didn't have a good impression of Chaotic Bodies."
"But after meeting you, I changed my mind; you are a very interesting person."
Luo Xiangling said this, feeling a little embarrassed.
She had indeed intended to play a trick on Jun Xiaoyao at first.
After all, that former Chaotic Body had nearly annihilated her.
But after seeing Jun Xiaoyao, Luo Xiangling felt that Jun Xiaoyao seemed to be an interesting person.
Thus, the story unfolded as it did.
Jun Xiaoyao was also somewhat glad.
Fortunately, he was handsome.
If he had been ugly, Luo Xiangling probably wouldn't have found him interesting.
This was an era that valued appearance.
"Then I should thank you, Xiangling, for sparing my life," Jun Xiaoyao said, cupping his hands slightly.
Luo Xiangling naturally knew that Jun Xiaoyao was teasing her.
As the two exchanged secrets, the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before.
"To be honest, I also came from the Immortal Realm, so what right do I have to expose you?" Luo Xiangling murmured.
Although Jun Xiaoyao's true identity surprised her, Luo Xiangling had no sense of belonging to the Exotic Realm itself.
Of course, she also had no sense of belonging to the Immortal Realm.
She was just a river, without the concept of factions.
The only place that made her feel a little like home was the War God Academy.
But compared to Jun Xiaoyao, the War God Academy was nothing.
"Xiangling, have you ever thought about returning to the Immortal Realm?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
He began to probe.
"Return to the Immortal Realm?"
Luo Xiangling froze, her beautiful eyes seeming somewhat dazed as she said, "That person said I was just a river, and could only be a river."
"Perhaps gaining sentience was a mistake in itself."
Luo Xiangling had always been very confused.
Should she even exist?
Or would it be happier to just be an ordinary river?
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
He stepped forward and gently embraced Luo Xiangling.
Her skin was delicate like silk, her willow-like waist soft and slender, truly like she was made of water.
"Xiangling, everything in the world exists for a reason."
"You may have indeed been just an ordinary river once, but now, you have a name, you are Luo Xiangling, a living existence."
"So, don't doubt your existence; living as a Human Race is your destiny."
Jun Xiaoyao's words made Luo Xiangling's eyes look as if she were in a trance.
Her heart had always been like a rootless duckweed.
But Jun Xiaoyao had made her wandering heart settle down.
Crystalline tears slipped from the corners of Luo Xiangling's eyes.
She also embraced Jun Xiaoyao in return.
She held him very, very tightly.
She didn't care about the battle between the Immortal Realm and the Exotic Realm at all.
Meeting someone who understood her and could comprehend her was more important than anything.
Feeling Luo Xiangling's emotions, Jun Xiaoyao simply held her silently.
He also didn't know if he was acting at this moment.
After some comforting, Luo Xiangling's emotions stabilized, though her face was a little red.
"It seems my life is safe," Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
Luo Xiangling gave Jun Xiaoyao a charming look.
This woman, like water, was quite captivating when she was alluring.
She certainly wouldn't harm Jun Xiaoyao now.
In fact, she had already begun to worry about him, fearing that something unexpected might happen to him in the Exotic Realm.
"Xiaoyao, your identity is too dangerous in the Exotic Realm," Luo Xiangling said, worriedly.
She knew that the Jun Family was absolutely a thorn in the side of the Exotic Realm.
As the Jun Family Divine Child, if his identity were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, Xiangling, I won't easily let my identity be discovered."
"After I finish what I need to do, I will take you back."
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Luo Xiangling, his tone firm.
Luo Xiangling's snow-white face flushed a faint red.
This time, she didn't directly refuse.
"Returning to the Immortal Realm, if I meet that person..." Luo Xiangling still had some apprehension in her heart.
That was a Chaotic Body.
Moreover, Luo Xiangling felt that the Chaotic Body's origin should be very significant.
Even after such a long time, he should not have perished.
"Don't worry, the Immortal Realm is the Jun family's domain; even if that Chaotic Body still exists, there's no need to fear him."
Jun Xiaoyao's words made Luo Xiangling feel at ease, full of security.
What women needed most was the sense of security brought by a man.
Even though her Cultivation was far, far stronger than Jun Xiaoyao's.
"Oh, right, Xiangling, you said you became a Quasi-Immortal by borrowing the power of a branch of the Underworld River."
"And the Source of the Underworld River seems to be in the Unspeakable Land; if possible in the future, I will help you Breakthrough and become a true Immortal King."
"At that time, no one will be able to threaten you with your own strength alone." Jun Xiaoyao's tone was firm.
Since Luo Xiangling had completely become one of his own.
Then naturally, he had to consider her.
Jun Xiaoyao always took care of his own people.
He also took out some rare Spring of Life water.
This should be helpful for Luo Xiangling's Cultivation.
"Xiaoyao, thank you."
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's sincere concern for her, Luo Xiangling's eyes glistened, shining brightly.
This was the first time she had experienced the feeling of being protected and cared for.
Somehow, an impulse surged through her heart.
Luo Xiangling leaned in and kissed him proactively.
Jun Xiaoyao froze, only realizing what was happening a moment later.
