Chapter 68 - I'm back! C***

Jean: Alright… Now it's reward time!

Jasmine: Reward time? Didn't you already received the inheritance of the Primordial Dragon God?

Jean: My watch's reward.

Jasmine: Ohhh!

She was curious so she came out from the Sky Poison Pearl, unlike with the legacies left from the True Gods, the watch's rewards were really interesting and mysterious.

Jean looked at the watch and opened the achievements, before turning them in.

*Achievement: Veteran: You finally reached a decent stage, heh? Go on.*

*Reward: Enchanted Sniper Rifle (Sky Profound Weapon) (10 bullets)*

*Achievement: Professional: That's good! Don't stop here.*

*Reward: Light Cycle (Earth Profound) (Infinite Fuel)*

*Achievement: Elite: Now you can fly!*

*Reward: Sternritter's Outfit(Auto-repairable) (Emperor Profound)*

*Achievement: I have 2 Dragon Balls: What? you thought I was talking about "those" balls? You perv.*

*Reward: Nine Circles of Hell's Pellet*

*Achievement: Fuck the planet: Destroy an entire landscape.*

*Reward: Nothing, who would kill a planet like that just for a reward? If you want to be evil then at least pulverize it.*

Jean and Jasmine looked in front of them, there was a set of things that came out from nothing…

[Later]

Jean placed the Pellet and the Sniper Rifle on the Sky Poison Pearl while he was dressed up in his new Sternritter's Outfit.

He was wearing a black, ankle-length cloak, with a hood attached to the cloak's collar, but he decided to keep it down and use the cloak to cover his left arm and his back, under his cloak, there was a white double-breasted trench coat tied with a black belt, worn together with white coloured trousers and boots.

He was currently over the Light Cycle going at a good speed, behind the motorcycle, obviously coming from Tron, a trail of red light was created, he noticed that the light was solid, making it useful for blocking attacks.

Jean: Woooooooooooo!!!!

Jean: Fuck yeah!

[13 days later]

In accordance to Cang Yue's wishes, the Inner Palace Selection Competition, which should have been held half a month ago, was delayed for the same time before it began.

It was only this evening that the participating disciples were finally decided. With hurried steps, Qin Wushang personally left for the Moon Embracing Palace, the place currently occupied by Cang Yue, to let her know the results of the selection competition.

Qin Wushang: Princess, the results of the Inner Palace Selection Competition between our Inner Palace disciples are out. As expected, it just happens to be the top three on the Inner Palace's Heavenly Profound Ranking.

Cang Yue calmly received the list of names delivered by Qin Wushang, but Qin Wushang could feel the distress underneath her calm… and a kind of apathy, as if her heart had died. He let out a long sigh in his heart. He could only sigh.

Not only did that Jean possess a shocking innate talent for profound strength, it seemed as if he had some kind of demonic power; to have actually let the Blue Moon Princess, who firmly rejected Fen Juecheng, the young master of Burning Heaven Clan, fall in love with him so deeply she had willingly sunk into the dangerous condition of allowing her heart to die.

Cang Yue: Fang Feilong, 2nd Spirit Profound Realm; Feng Bufan, 3rd Spirit Profound Realm; Fen Juechen, 5th Spirit Profound Realm…

So it just happens to be the top three on the Inner Palace's Heavenly Profound Ranking. If I remember correctly, when I returned to the palace eight months ago, Fang Feilong and Feng Bufan were already twenty years old. Will they be over the age limit?

I even used the Profound Assessment Stone to test the age of their bones, and it showed that both are still twenty years old.

Cang Yue: Fen Juechen is from the Burning Heaven Clan and is also their Clan Master's son. If he represents the Blue Wind Profound Palace in the tournament, we would undoubtedly be criticized.

Furthermore, even if he manages to get into the top hundred and defeat Fen Juebi, no one would recognize him as a representative of Blue Wind Profound Palace and accept our Palace's ranking. Instead, we would be mocked. Father would definitely not feel proud about this… What do you think, Palace Chief Qin?

Qin Wushang: What you said is definitely true Princess. It would definitely bring us large amounts of criticism and mocking. However, the only reason Fen Juechen entered our Profound Palace was so he could participate in this year's Blue Wind Ranking Tournament .

He wishes to rank higher than Fen Juebi in order to avenge his shame. This point, the currently dead third prince had also specifically instructed before. Furthermore, he indeed is a Profound Palace disciple. If we kick him out, I'm afraid…

Cang Yue: Since that's the case, then let's just let it be. I will explain to father.

Qin Wushang: All shall be as Princess has arranged. We are only three days from the tournament. Shall we set off tomorrow morning? What time would be more appropriate for you, Princess?

Cang Yue: Me? I had forgotten to inform you earlier Palace Chief Qin. I won't be going for this year's Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. I would have to trouble Palace Chief Qin and Palace Chief Dongfang to bring the team this time.

Qin Wushang: Ahhh? This… But Princess, Palace Chief Dongfang had always been hard to track down. Ever since his majesty became sick, he rarely stayed in the Palace, and even now that he is safe, he is nowhere to be found.

Furthermore, even if Palace Chief Dongfang was able to get back in time, me and him bringing the team there would be highly inappropriate. Blue Wind Ranking Tournament is the most prestigious tournament in the country and is held by one of the top ten sects in the world.

The people attending are all of the status of at least Sect Elders. There are even sects where the Sect Masters themselves personally bring the teams in. Our Palace has always brought a prince or princess to lead the team.

If we were to send a Palace Chief this time, it would likely cause the other sects to feel that we are looking down on them. The Heavenly Sword Villa might even hold grudges against us.

His Majesty's currently busy with a mountain of documents. The princes are all dead. Therefore, we can only trouble you, Princess. Three years ago, our Blue Wind Profound Palace merely ranked two hundred and twenty three, but your elegant demeanor stunned the entire crowd, completely overshadowing out pathetic results.

This time, we have no choice but to trouble you again. If not… I really do not know what to do.

Cang Yue: I know… Prepare the flying profound beasts. We will leave tomorrow morning.

Qin Wushang: Yes.

[Next morning]

The sky was already bright and it was silent in the Inner Palace. Although it was still early, most of disciples had already entered the Profound Gathering Tower. In the Inner Palace, disciples usually woke up and entered the Profound Gathering Tower before sunrise.

In front of Supreme Profound Hall, three Giant Snow Eagles stood majestically; every one of them emitted a faint cool aura. With the Giant Snow Eagle's speed, they were able to travel up to several thousand kilometers a day.

It would take them at most two days to reach Heavenly Sword Villa. Beside the Giant Snow Eagles was Qin Wushang, who was already waiting there. To his right were two Inner Palace disciples who looked around twenty years old. They looked average, but their eyes held glints of arrogance. They stared at each other with obvious signs of enmity.

These two, were the Inner Palace's second and third ranked disciples, Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong respectively. Although the two of them were only twenty, there were the idols of all the disciples in the Profound Palace.

Even the entire Blue Wind Imperial City knew of them and recognized them as geniuses. The crown prince and the third prince also once favored them and people expected them to be of great power in the future.

Having such achievements at such a young age made ninety-nine percent of the youths in the city comparably envious. This naturally fueled their ego and made them arrogant.

Finally, Cang Yue had arrived. She did not wear anything special, nor did she put on makeup. She had also not brought along anyone as she arrived alone.

Qin Wushang: Good morning Your Highness. Princess, you... Why are you alone? Why is there no one protecting you?

Cang Yue forced a smile and said.

Cang Yue: There's no need. When going to Heavenly Sword Villa, it is better to have less people than to have more. Also, we have you here Palace Chief Qin... Aren't these two Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong? Where's Fen Juechen?

Fen Juechen was highly arrogant and does not wait for people. Perhaps he will arrive at towards the end of the morning. Other than that, everything is already prepared. Princess can rest ȧssured.

Cang Yue: Palace Chief Qin arranged everything personally. Of course, I'm not worried. Since that's the case, let us wait here for a while more. If he still doesn't arrive by the end of the morning, there's no need to wait any longer.

Qin Wushang: Y-

*VROOOOOMMMM*

Jean: I'M BACK, YOU LITTLE CUNTS!!

*VROOOOOMMMM*

Qin Wushang: W-What? Who dares to be so disresp-

He looked at Cang Yue and saw something that forced his mouth to open in shock… Tears coming from her eyes.

Cang Yue: ...Jean…?
