Shan Ling did not say a word after she retracted her hand. She stood silently behind Yi Yun.
Although the Desolate clan was inferior to the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins, Shaomang Xuan enjoyed a transcendent status in the Desolate clan. He had already taken half a step into the upper echelons of the Desolate clan.
He was nothing like the princes in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins who were still vying for the position of crown prince. Back when Yi Yun first met Shan Ling, he was extremely astonished when he learned that she was only a maidservant despite her talent.
Shaomang Xuan could be ignored since it was normal for him to have Shan Ling as his maidservant.
However, Yi Yun was a human!
At that moment, Shan Ling's looks had been changed by Yi Yun using the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book. No one present knew where she had come from. From their point of view, a Fey genius girl who had become a Fey Lord at such a young age was willing to be the maidservant of a human Divine Lord?
There was also Lin Xintong. Her bone age was terrifyingly young, but she had monstrous combat strength. Lin Xintong had fought four alone. If not for Yi Yun's warning, she would have already killed one of them. Such talent left everyone present extremely embarrassed.
They were too useless. Compared to the human girl, they were like dogs.
As for a human like Yi Yun, he had a Fey Lord maidservant willing to submit to him. He also had a peerless genius willing to be his woman. How could he be weak?
"Senior Rain, I won't be a freeloader living in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. I do need Your Highness Soft Clouds to provide me with some resources, but it's much more meaningful to use the resources on me than to feed this mob."
Yi Yun spoke without any qualms. It was a direct smack in the face, but at that moment, no one dared to retort. The human genius girl's sword was still embedded in the Fey Lord's neck!
The Fey Lord did not even dare move.
"Hahahahaha! I was wondering who it was to be so arrogant! "At that moment, a long laugh was heard.
Everyone looked over and saw a man dressed in an embroidered robe with sharp eyes. He had the air of a king as he walked over.
Upon seeing the man, everyone present was delighted.
"Marquis Bi Lin!"
"It's Marquis Bi Lin!"
Marquis Bi Lin?
Yi Yun looked at the man, unsure of his identity. To be conferred the title of Marquis meant that he enjoyed a high standing in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins.
"Peak Fey Lord …"
Yi Yun sensed the man's cultivation level. The cultivation level of a Fey Lord corresponded to a human Divine Lord, so it was naturally divided into different levels.
Humans were differentiated by the number of Divine Lord Royal Seals they had condensed.
As for Fey Lords, they were categorized according to the number of times their Fey cores had been tempered. First, Second, and Third Tempering Fey cores corresponded to human Royal Sealed Divine Lords, Double Sealed Divine Lords, and Triple Sealed Divine Lords.
Actually, the number of times one went through tempering did not completely represent one's strength. Some of the Demon Race's Core Tempering once was equivalent to other Demon Race's Core Tempering thrice.
It was the same for Divine Lord Royal Seals. Yi Yun's Divine Lord Royal Seals were worth more than ten of others. The Heavenly Dao Royal Seals were just too terrifying. It was nearly impossible for Yi Yun to fuse with another Heavenly Dao Royal Seal, much less three.
Under such circumstances, a two-sealed Divine Lord was Yi Yun's limit.
However, in a situation where the degree of refinement could not be measured, the easily distinguishable number of times the Yao Core had been refined became the standard to judge the strength of a Yao Lord.
At that moment, Marquis Bi Lin had deliberately revealed his strength. He was a thrice-tempered core!
This was an obvious show of deterrence. Typical Fey Lords would not reveal their Yao Core's refinement. Many would even deliberately hide it.
"Is this a show of strength?" Yi Yun chuckled. It was obviously meant for him to see.
However, he originally believed that the people living in Jiang Xiaorou's Soft Clouds Mountain Manor were her mercenaries. But how could there be a marquis among Jiang Xiaorou's mercenaries?
From the looks of it, this person had a very special status.
Yi Yun noticed that when Rain Numinous saw Marquis Bi Lin, an imperceptible look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Rain Numinous actually did not like Marquis Bi Lin? This made Yi Yun even more certain that Marquis Bi Lin was not Jiang Xiaorou's mercenary. At the very least, he was not a mercenary that followed the rules.
But under such circumstances, Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's mercenaries seemed to respect Marquis Bi Lin. They even seemed to treat him as their leader. It was interesting.
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" asked Yi Yun lightly.
Before Marquis Bi Lin said a word, the attendant beside him said proudly, "My master is a Heaven Fey marquis. His elder sister, Madam Bi Yun, married into the Blood King Palace and is conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort! Marquis's title was bestowed by the current Ruins Emperor! "
In a few words, Yi Yun understood that the fellow was the Blood King's brother-in-law. It was not surprising for the Blood King to take in juniors that were thousands of years old. Madam Bi Yun was likely young.
Interesting. The Blood King's queen was Xiaorou's mother, so Imperial Noble Consort was likely second only to the queen.
For Bi Yun to become Imperial Noble Consort and Bi Lin to be conferred the title of marquis, the Bi family's power was probably impressive. Perhaps a large part of the pressure Xiaorou's mother faced came from the Bi family!
Marquis Bi Lin was probably not much older than Shaomang Xuan. Would such a young and spirited genius with a good background be willing to be a marquis?
He probably still wanted to stir up trouble in the royal court! Therefore, he had temporarily entered Soft Clouds Mountain Manor and befriended Jiang Xiaorou's mercenaries. In name, he was helping Jiang Xiaorou vie for the title of crown prince, but who knew what he was planning?
Now, the Blood King only had one daughter, Jiang Xiaorou. If Madam Bi Yun were to give birth to a child, what would Marquis Bi Lin do?
This was probably the reason why Rain Numinous disliked Marquis Bi Lin.
Just a simple introduction was enough for Yi Yun to guess most of Marquis Bi Lin's background. The relationships in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins royalty were truly complicated!
"I heard that my niece recently acknowledged a younger brother?" Marquis Bi Lin said languidly.
Yi Yun was taken aback before he realized that the niece Marquis Bi Lin was referring to was Jiang Xiaorou. However, given Jiang Xiaorou's status, it was rather casual for him to address her as his niece.
Furthermore, it had only been half a day since Jiang Xiaorou acknowledged him, but he had already learned of the news. From the looks of it, he was paying too much attention to Jiang Xiaorou!
"I heard that this brother of mine has the surname Lin. Could it be you … Young Master Lin? Hahaha! " Marquis Bi Lin roared with laughter. "In terms of seniority, you should address me as uncle. Soft Clouds Mountain Manor has recently been managed by me. The resources are also managed by me. Why? Are you questioning my management of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor?"
The second half of Marquis Bi Lin's sentence turned stern!
He had tempered his core thrice and was already standing at the pinnacle of Fey Lords. No matter how talented Lin Xintong was, he did not think much of it. How could he tolerate Yi Yun behaving atrociously in the territory he managed?
"So you are the trash steward of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor." Yi Yun laughed out loud. "It's no wonder this bunch of rabble fawned on you the moment you appeared. So you were the one who gave them the resources? Are you using Her Highness Soft Clouds' resources to develop your own faction? Once Madam Bi Yun gives birth to her child, you will use the connections you have accumulated to pull these trash away and send them to your new master, isn't that right? Hahaha! "
Yi Yun's words could be said to be unbridled!
When he said that, Marquis Bi Lin's expression turned livid. The expressions of everyone around him changed. Even Rain Numinous's eyes focused as she looked at Yi Yun!
Yi Yun's words had offended countless people! Many people knew a little about such matters, but they would not say it out loud.
This was because Madam Bi Yun's background was just too powerful! She could not be queen after marrying over and could only be a Royal Noble Consort. Furthermore, most of the Blood King Palace's resources were provided to Jiang Xiaorou. Letting Marquis Bi Lin manage the finances was in fact a form of compensation.
This was a tacit understanding between everyone, but it had been mercilessly exposed by Yi Yun.
"I say, your sister's title might not be very auspicious. Madam Contraceptive will probably not have any children in this lifetime." The latter half of Yi Yun's words were said with a Yuan Qi voice transmission. It was not because he was afraid of Madam Contraceptive, but because it involved the Blood King. It would not be appropriate to say it in public.
"You are courting death!" Yi Yun's words completely infuriated Marquis Bi Lin. He never expected Yi Yun to be so arrogant! This was no longer a simple provocation. It was a reason that could be used to kill Yi Yun.
"Ah!" At that moment, Marquis Bi Lin's body emitted a hiss as his lifeblood powers boiled. At that moment, an azure wyrm phantom appeared behind him!
The azure wyrm danced as it stirred the clouds and rain! Dark clouds instantly filled the sky above Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, as though a storm was about to descend!
"How dare an ant fight a True Dragon?" Yi Yun suddenly struck down when he saw Marquis Bi Lin's strength erupt.
This strike contained the power of the Heavenly Dao, as though the heavens were collapsing!
"Ka-cha!"
How could the gathered dark clouds withstand the power of the heavens collapsing? They immediately shattered! Even the azure wyrm behind Marquis Bi Lin suddenly whimpered. It was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as though it had suffered a terrible shock. It was pressed into a ball!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Marquis Bi Lin's protective lifeblood powers shattered like glass, causing him to be pressed to the ground!
"You!"
Blood seeped out of the corner of Marquis Bi Lin's mouth as his face was filled with horror. He never expected Yi Yun to be that strong.
"Ah!" Marquis Bi Lin roared as strange blood patterns suffused his body. It appeared to be a family mystic technique, but Yi Yun thought nothing of it. He continued exerting strength in his palm, and with a cracking sound, all the blood patterns on Marquis Bi Lin's body exploded!
By the side, Rain Numinous was alarmed. This was the Bi family's azure wyrm mystic technique. It involved the bloodline of a distant ancestor. Although the strength Marquis Bi Lin could produce was limited, it should not have been so easily cracked by Yi Yun. Yi Yun's strength was rather terrifying.
It was probably close to that of a quasi-Godly Monarch!
"I just said that Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's housekeeper should be changed. Look at you. Not only did you manage Soft Clouds Mountain Manor into a mess, you are also a piece of trash. Aren't you embarrassed to attack me with your puny bloodline powers?"
"I thought you were an expert when you showcased your thrice tempered core the moment we met. From the looks of it, your thrice tempered core is only used to scare people. You are no different from a stray dog."
Yi Yun constantly shook his head. Marquis Bi Lin struggled with all his might, but he was still pressed to the ground. His flesh and blood were beginning to crack, but he was sprawled on the ground, unable to stand up. It was an utter humiliation!
The corners of Yi Yun's mouth curled up slightly as he said to Lin Xintong, "Xintong, shatter his Fey core."
"Alright." Lin Xintong drew her sword. She couldn't be bothered with Marquis Bi Lin's identity. Yi Yun was her husband, so she only listened to him.
Marquis Bi Lin's expression changed when he saw Lin Xintong's cold expression. Once his Fey core was shattered, he was basically crippled!
"Stop!" The person who spoke was Rain Numinous. "You can't touch him."
Marquis Bi Lin had a powerful background. Crippling him would be a huge problem.
Yi Yun smiled. "Since Senior Rain is pleading on his behalf, I can spare him. However … this person is too much of a piece of trash. I think he's no longer suitable to be Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's housekeeper. Why don't you give that position to me?"
Yi Yun said those words in a carefree manner. The surrounding warriors broke out into a cold sweat.
Yi Yun was just too domineering!
When they saw Rain Numinous bring a human Divine Lord over, they believed that they could bully him. When humans entered the Fey's circle, they were like lambs in a pack of wolves. They never expected Yi Yun to be an Ancient Fey that chose to devour them!
All of them together, in addition to Marquis Bi Lin, who was extremely powerful both in terms of background and personal strength, had been completely repressed by Yi Yun!
Rain Numinous gave Yi Yun a deep, penetrating look and fell silent.
She really did not like Yi Yun. He was too arrogant, and it was obvious that he was ambitious. In addition, Xiaorou trusted Yi Yun unconditionally. It worried Rain Numinous, afraid that Yi Yun would lie to her. Could she control such a brother?
Of course, Rain Numinous did not like Marquis Bi Lin either. His wild ambitions were obvious!
Although Yi Yun might have lied to Jiang Xiaorou, it was still possible that he treated her sincerely.
As for Marquis Bi Lin, it was already a fact. After weighing the pros and cons, it was better for Yi Yun to be a housekeeper.
Madam Bi Yun could not say a word if he was forced to give up his position due to his inferior strength.
Therefore, Rain Numinous chose to remain silent.
Marquis Bi Lin held on stubbornly. "I'm a son of the Bi clan. If you dare cripple me, the Bi clan will not spare you!"
"Oh? What you say makes me rather afraid. "Yi Yun grinned sinisterly as he glanced at Lin Xintong." Satisfy him. "
Without a word, Lin Xintong attacked directly.
The sword beam was like a three-foot-long white ribbon as it stabbed straight at the Fey core in Marquis Bi Lin's abdomen!
"Ah!"
Marquis Bi Lin roared, and at that moment, Lin Xintong's sword had already penetrated his body. She did not hesitate to strike out!
"Ding!"
The sword had already sliced into his flesh, but at the instant the tip touched the Fey core, it came to an abrupt halt.
However, it was not because Lin Xintong had stopped, but because Rain Numinous had pinched Lin Xintong's sword.
Rain Numinous was alarmed as well. This girl really dared to attack! If she had not managed to withstand that strike, Marquis Bi Lin would truly be crippled!
At that moment, Marquis Bi Lin was already drenched in cold sweat. At his position, being crippled was worse than death. Even if he could seek revenge on Yi Yun in the future, a cripple was a cripple. There was no return.
"You … You …" Marquis Bi Lin's lips trembled.
"From this day forth, Young Master Lin shall be the housekeeper of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor," said Rain Numinous as she gave Yi Yun a deep, meaningful look.
Following that, she sent a voice transmission to Yi Yun. "I know you have ambitions, but Xiaorou trusts you very much. If you lie to her, I will absolutely not spare you!"
"Ambitions?" Yi Yun smiled. "I believe Senior Rain is mistaken. My ambitions do not lie in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins. I only want the position of housekeeper because I find it convenient to do things with this identity!"
