Upon hearing Jiang Xiaorou's words, Yi Yun felt slightly relieved. The nurturing of a prince in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins was rather brutal, but Jiang Xiaorou was different. She was a descendant of a Fey Thearch, and according to her, the Blood King was no ordinary Fey Thearch.
It was not easy for Fey with powerful bloodlines to produce descendants. The other princes of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins might be the Fey Thearch's grandchildren or great-grandchildren. As for Jiang Xiaorou, she was the Fey Thearch's daughter.
This was different!
Other members of the royal family would vie for resources, but Jiang Xiaorou had the Blood King to provide her with resources. This was also the reason why Jiang Xiaorou was qualified to vie for the position of crown prince in just a few centuries.
"Sis Xiaorou, do you really want to compete?" Yi Yun asked.
"Yes." Jiang Xiaorou nodded. There was no lack of competition in martial arts. As she was weak, her father had been thrown into a mystic realm battlefield. As she was weak, her mother had failed to protect her in the lower realm. Back then, the Jiang family had nearly been destroyed by the Shen Tu family clan, causing her to be stranded in the Cloud Wilderness. She had to depend on Yi Yun for survival, nearly starving to death.
And because she was weak, she had been imprinted by the Black-armored Demon God in the Tian Yuan world. He wanted to plunder her body, causing Yi Yun and the Desolate race to have no choice but to bring forward their battle with the Black-armored Demon God, a life-and-death battle! Later on, even though the Black-armored Demon God was killed by Yi Yun, Jiang Xiaorou was unable to follow Yi Yun to the 12 Empyrean Heavens due to her lack of strength. She had no choice but to part ways.
"All these years, I've been working hard to cultivate. I'm fighting! Only with strength can I control my own fate. I wish to find you, Yun 'er, but in this vast sea of stars, I won't even be able to leave the Chaos Heavens without sufficient strength! "
"Also, because father spent a lot of resources to nurture me, I suffered a lot of criticism! My mother was originally a demon from the lower realms, and her bloodline was very poor! In the words of those who were my enemies, she was born in a lowly family and had the life of an ant. Although my father tried his best to protect my mother, she was still in an awkward and precarious position! "
"In the Blood King's harem, my mother's favor has caused too many people to be displeased. Furthermore, those people are jealous of me. My mother has been treading on thin ice all these years. She was happy, but also anxious! Unless I have enough strength, I won't be able to become her pillar of support. "
When Jiang Xiaorou said this, Yi Yun was stunned, "Your father has other wives and concubines?"
"Yes …" Jiang Xiaorou nodded slowly. "Not before returning to the Chaos Heavens, but after bringing my mother here, I took in a few concubines."
"The Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins is the leader of all the Fey. According to the rules of our ancestors, every Fey Thearch has to marry into other family clans. In addition, it's difficult for the royal bloodline to reproduce. Having hundreds of beauties in a Fey Thearch's harem is considered basic. My father already has very few."
Yi Yun nodded. This was not Earth. Even Jiang Xiaorou and Xiaorou's mother did not have the concept of monogamy. Xiaorou's mother would naturally not be displeased with the Blood King taking concubines.
Demon emperor powerhouses, if they didn't marry more wives and concubines and procreate genius offspring, wouldn't that be a waste of bloodline?
If the Blood King were to insist on marrying only Xiaorou's mother, the pressure on Xiaorou's mother would be even greater. She would probably be labeled as a jealous person.
"Many of my father's concubines are daughters of the imperial family sent by the big clans. They have noble bloodlines. Which one of them is willing to be below my mother? Moreover, they haven't been able to reproduce for my father in these hundreds of years. This should have something to do with my father not leaving too much of his bloodline essence in them. "
"How can these women be willing to accept that?"
"My mother feels that her background is insufficient for her to be a high empress. She has made it clear to my father several times that she wants to give up her position as empress. All she needs to do is be a concubine. The pressure of being a concubine is slightly lesser. I feel a little sour hearing that."
Jiang Xiaorou sighed when she said that. "In fact, as long as I have my father's love and my father's unstinting nurturing, it's impossible for my mother not to incur the jealousy of others unless I cultivate to become a Fey Thearch, or even ascend to the throne of Ruins Emperor!"
"Father has never had another child, probably because he wishes to nurture me first. Father has done a lot for me and Mother, but I can't always count on him. What if one day his feelings for Mother turn cold?"
"Becoming crown prince means better cultivation resources, so I naturally have to vie for them. I want to live out my days in peace for Mother. I want to fight for a future for myself, and I also want to find you, Yun 'er. "
"But now … Yun 'er, you have actually found me first. I'm really … very happy!"
When Jiang Xiaorou said that, the corners of her eyes turned moist. All these years in the Chaos Heavens, she had been pampered by the Blood King and enjoyed an extremely high status. However, she was under immense pressure!
She could not reveal her weak side to her father, much less confide in her mother. She was afraid that her mother would feel even more pressured, blaming herself and feeling guilty.
She could only tell Yi Yun these things.
"I understand, Sis Xiaorou." Yi Yun understood. "Sis Xiaorou, since I'm back, I'll help you. You no longer need to shoulder such burdens in the future."
"Yun 'er, I'm already very happy that you have such thoughts," said Jiang Xiaorou with a smile. Jiang Xiaorou said with a smile, "It's just that the situation in Heaven Fey City is very complicated. I have many enemies here, and I don't know how many people are eager for me to fall from my current position. Furthermore, these people have deep backgrounds. I don't wish for Yun 'er to be in danger …"
"Yun 'er, if you really want to help me, cultivate hard. I can tell that you are already a Royal Sealed Divine Lord. Your future is limitless. Once you become a Godly Monarch, you can help me. I look forward to seeing you become a Godly Monarch!"
When Jiang Xiaorou said that, she smiled happily. She still remembered the scene of Yi Yun returning from the Cloud Wilderness dressed in a Kingdom Knight's robe after he became a Jin Long Wei. Back then, Jiang Xiaorou, who had no one to rely on, could never forget that scene.
"By the way, Yun 'er, I heard that you came to Treasure Fey Pagoda in search of treasures at the Godly Monarch level?" asked Jiang Xiaorou.
When Rain Numinous reported to Jiang Xiaorou, she had already explained Yi Yun's origins, including the pseudonym Yi Yun used, as well as his goal in coming to Treasure Fey Pagoda.
To be a mercenary of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, Jiang Xiaorou naturally needed to know the ins and outs of the visitor.
"That's right. I need some precious materials." Yi Yun had nothing to hide from Jiang Xiaorou. He immediately recounted the matter regarding the Myriad Form Shura Pills.
"There are so many natural treasures. The Fey core of an ancient Fey … is indeed difficult to find, especially the divine blood …" Jiang Xiaorou faltered.
"The divine blood is taboo in the Chaos Heavens. It will infuriate the Celestials, but I actually know that my father has some divine blood left. It's just very difficult for me to obtain it."
Yi Yun said, "Let's forget about Senior Blood King's divine blood. Sis Xiaorou, I actually plan on using these items to refine a pill known as the Myriad Form Shura Pills. It's a body-tempering pill that will be very useful to me. However, I won't be able to use all of it after refining a cauldron. The remaining portion should be helpful for you to condense your ancestral bloodline."
