Bai Luoxue, as her name suggested, had skin as white as snow, crystal clear and delicate.
Her appearance was also exquisite, with moth-like eyebrows, white teeth, and a face like a blooming flower.
She couldn't quite compare to the peerless beauties like Yuan Che, Ling Yuan, and Jiang Shengyi.
But she wasn't far off either.
However, her most distinguishing feature was not her looks, but her intelligence.
She was the strategist of the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders, not known for her martial prowess.
Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression showing no ripples.
"It seems the Divine Child is not surprised by Luoxue's arrival."
Seeing no surprise on Jun Xiaoyao's face, Bai Luoxue pursed her lips and smiled.
Jun Xiaoyao was noncommittal.
He had anticipated it long ago.
After he completely defeated Emperor Haotian, if this woman truly had schemes, she would surely try to contact him.
"You dare to appear before me, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Jun Xiaoyao tilted his head slightly, his tone playful.
"Does the Divine Child not pity and cherish women at all?"
Bai Luoxue's voice was weak, carrying a hint of pitifulness.
"Cut the act. In my eyes, you are neither fragrant nor jade," Jun Xiaoyao said.
She was just a schemer, always playing these games.
And her level was perhaps even inferior to Ji Qingyi's.
Bai Luoxue's flawless face stiffened slightly.
To be so ridiculed by a perfect man like Jun Xiaoyao, any woman would feel uncomfortable.
"Is the Divine Child not curious why Luoxue is willing to take such a risk to see you?"
Bai Luoxue adjusted her mindset and said.
"It's nothing more than seeing Emperor Haotian's decline and feeling that you can't stake your bets on someone who might suffer a terrible defeat."
"Am I right?"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were as deep as the starry sky.
Bai Luoxue's expression froze, and she said, "The Divine Child truly comprehends human hearts and is as wise as a ghost or god."
That's right.
That was exactly what Bai Luoxue was thinking.
In the past, she believed that Emperor Haotian was someone worthy of her lifelong assistance and devotion.
She also believed that Emperor Haotian would definitely achieve Major Achievement, perhaps even becoming a Dominator of the Immortal Domain.
But now, seeing Emperor Haotian utterly defeated by Jun Xiaoyao.
Whether in strategy or strength, he was completely crushed by Jun Xiaoyao.
Bai Luoxue's heart wavered.
If things continued like this.
If one day, Emperor Haotian truly perished.
Wouldn't she also suffer misfortune?
Bai Luoxue didn't believe that if Emperor Haotian died, she would still be able to live.
Therefore, Bai Luoxue wanted to leave herself a way out.
And now, the best choice was none other than Jun Xiaoyao.
"Divine Child, Luoxue has actually always wondered, if Luoxue were born in this era."
"Perhaps, I would have followed the Divine Child long ago."
Bai Luoxue said sincerely.
Jun Xiaoyao's lips curved into a slight arc.
It was as if he was watching a play.
This time, because he won against Emperor Haotian, it made Bai Luoxue's heart waver.
But if he had lost this time, Bai Luoxue probably wouldn't have made such a move.
This kind of schemer was indeed a bit annoying.
Of course, Bai Luoxue also had her uses.
Using her as a tool would be quite good.
Bai Luoxue herself clearly knew this, which was why she dared to appear before Jun Xiaoyao.
She had this small cleverness, otherwise, she wouldn't be worthy of being called a strategist.
"Enough, stop with the nonsense. You came to me simply to leave yourself a way out."
"But there's no free lunch in this world. What can you bring me?"
"Don't say it's your body; I'm not interested," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Bai Luoxue's expression stiffened even further upon hearing this.
In her era, she was also considered a proud daughter, surrounded by admirers.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao showed no interest at all.
But thinking about it, it made sense; how could someone who could resolutely reject Yuan Che covet her body?
"The Divine Child jests. Even if Luoxue were willing, she would not be worthy of touching the Divine Child's noble body."
"However, Luoxue can tell the Divine Child what Emperor Haotian's true plan is," Bai Luoxue said.
"Oh?"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
Emperor Haotian's plan to seize Yuan Che and unify the Immortal Court was completely thwarted by Jun Xiaoyao.
Did he have other plans?
"Speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Bai Luoxue smiled, "But the Divine Child must first promise Luoxue that in the future, you will definitely leave Luoxue a way out."
"That's a minor matter. However, if you dare to play any small tricks on me, you know what will happen."
Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
Ji Qingyi's schemes were deep enough, yet in his eyes, she was just a troublesome little sister.
Bai Luoxue's petty tricks were even less significant.
"Emperor Haotian once instructed me to secretly search for fragments of an ancient artifact. He himself possesses one piece."
"However, Emperor Haotian was very secretive about it, only arranging for me to search, and never telling me what that ancient artifact was or what its purpose was."
Bai Luoxue's words made Jun Xiaoyao fall into thought.
Ancient artifact fragments?
Why did this plot device feel so familiar?
In Jun Xiaoyao's mind, most of those Rebirth individuals were reborn into the past because of some ancient treasure Golden Finger.
In other words, it should be that ancient artifact fragment that allowed Emperor Haotian to be reborn into the present.
And possessing such power, that ancient artifact was clearly of extraordinary origin.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao knew that, according to the trope, the more broken something was, the more powerful it was.
Emperor Haotian's desire to collect the ancient artifact fragments should have some deeper purpose.
"You're not lying to me?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Bai Luoxue.
"Divine Child is unparalleled in wisdom; how would Luoxue dare to deceive you?" Bai Luoxue said.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly.
This indeed conformed to the tropes in his mind.
"Since that's the case, then you can continue to lie low beside Emperor Haotian. Let's pretend everything today never happened."
"However, if you find that ancient artifact fragment, hand it over to me to examine first."
"Luoxue understands."
Bai Luoxue nodded slightly.
After bowing to Jun Xiaoyao again, Bai Luoxue rode away on a crane.
Watching Bai Luoxue's retreating figure, a smile appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Bai Luoxue was a chess piece he had planted beside Emperor Haotian.
And she was free.
Even if Emperor Haotian discovered and killed her, Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't care in the slightest.
"Searching for the Golden Finger fragments, huh? It's truly a familiar trope."
"But Emperor Haotian, it's impossible for you to turn things around with this."
"Because I will always be ahead of you."
Jun Xiaoyao chuckled lightly, not worried at all about Emperor Haotian's next plan.
He also returned to Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, preparing for the next stage of his arrangements.
The first thing to do was to thoroughly integrate the Jun Emperor Court.
Because before, the Jun Emperor Court was too chaotic and disorganized.
Various forces had joined, making it overly complex and without proper structure.
And Jun Xiaoyao already had a plan.
He wanted to host a grand banquet to announce the existence of the Jun Emperor Court to the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.
And the Six Divisions of the Jun Emperor Court would also be fully established.
It was imaginable that the Jun Emperor Court's grand banquet would definitely be the most eye-catching major event in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain next!
