Chapter 1052 - 1061: Fairy Huangyi's Distant Relatives

"Fellow Taoist, it's noble to forgive when one can. They've already received the lesson they deserve, so spare them this time."

Just as the Profound Armor Army was about to arrest the Blazing Flame Tiger Race cohort, a clear and resonant voice emerged from the crowd.

The crowd parted, making way for an elaborate procession to approach. Leading the group were four young maidens dressed rather revealingly, with bare chests, each holding a flower basket, tossing petals as they walked.

Behind them followed a sedan chair, though not the kind with a carriage, but rather a platform about one foot across mounted on a yoke. Upon this platform sat a throne, on which was seated an exceedingly alluring woman clad in a red dress, with a snow-white tiger cub nestled in her embrace, suckling at her breast.

Beside the throne stood an elder garbed in a black robe.

The sedan chair was borne by six sturdy, muscular men with bare arms.

The women present at the scene were all flushed at this sight, silently cursing under their breath about the declining morality and shamelessness.

But more than anything, they were astonished.

"It's the White Jade Tiger Race."

"The Blazing Flame Tiger Race is a vassal to the White Jade Tiger Race. They're here to defend them."

"I've heard the White Jade Tiger Race has three loves: loving Human Race beauties, loving to recruit Human Race powerhouses as war servants, and loving battles."

"Is that possibly Elder Qingming of the Immortal Pavilion beside them?"

"Could Elder Qingming of the Immortal Pavilion have become a war servant of the White Jade Tiger Race?"

"What's strange about that? The Immortal Pavilion is led by the Demon Race."

"Enough of that talk."

...

The middle-aged man whose head was bloodied by the backside of a blade wielded by the Profound Armor Army captain seemed to recognize the tiger cub nestled in the alluring woman's embrace. Instantly, as if having seen salvation, his eyes glowed, pleading, "Save me, Young Master!"

"Young Master?"

Everyone was bewildered; could it be that the tiger cub in the alluring woman's embrace is the Young Clan Leader of the White Jade Tiger Race?

Among them, a powerhouse realized, no wonder Elder Qingming of the Immortal Pavilion serves by their side.

Chen Mo also widened his eyes slightly. At first glance, he thought the cub was the woman's pet. By the second glance, he realized the woman was the cub's pet.

And listening to those nearby, that elder is indeed a Sixth Realm Powerhouse, yet willing to become a war servant of the White Jade Tiger Race.

"The White Jade Tiger is a descendant from ancient times, the offspring of the Divine Beast White Tiger. Though not of direct lineage, the Divine Beast bloodline within is denser than that of my Eagle Owl Race," Huang Yi murmured softly, seeming to perceive Chen Mo's astonishment.

Chen Mo had read this in books before.

Within the Demon Race, lineage is not determined by whether the offspring was born of a primary wife but by the purity of the breed.

Taking the Divine Beast White Tiger as an example, if both partners are White Tigers, their offspring are direct lineage.

If the male is a White Tiger and the female is another type of demon beast, the offspring are progeny of a concubine; conversely, if the male is another type of demon beast and the female is a White Tiger, the offspring are also progeny of a concubine.

The White Jade Tiger is rumored to be born of a White Tiger and another tiger-type demon beast.

The Eagle Owl ranks a tier lower than the White Jade Tiger.

It's rumored that the Divine Beast Phoenix and the Cyan Simurgh birthed offspring named Phoenix.

The offspring of Phoenix and an eagle-type demon beast are known as Eagle Owls.

Because this involves a crossover of species, it results in the eagle owl's phoenix bloodline being extremely thin.

"Since Qingming Daoist has spoken, I shall show him this courtesy," came the thunderous voice again, promptly cautioning everyone, "Heaven-Suppressing Pass is my Great Xuan Dynasty's territory. The townsfolk are subjects of my Great Xuan Dynasty. I hope each of the Daoists visiting here will adhere to our laws."

After speaking, the pressure weighing down the Blazing Flame Tiger Race group's bodies dissipated.

"What a domineering Great Xuan Dynasty!"

"The Great Xuan Dynasty is a beacon for our Human Race."

"..."

The Great Xuan Dynasty's action undoubtedly honored the Human Race, and naturally, some on-site praised it.

"Useless bunch." The White Jade Tiger slightly raised its body from the alluring woman's embrace, its eyes fierce. Rather than comforting the wronged few of the Blazing Flame Tiger, it coldly rebuked.

The middle-aged man faced the rebuke without daring to resist, like a docile cat.

"Stop embarrassing yourselves here. Get back to your camp," the cub ordered.

The middle-aged man didn't dare utter a word, meekly leading the few from the Blazing Flame Tiger Race away.

Once the Blazing Flame Tiger Race members had left, the cub showed no interest in lingering and snuggled back into the woman's embrace, closing its beastly eyes.

Nearby, Elder Qingming raised his hand, prompting the White Jade Tiger Race procession to depart the scene.

"That White Jade Tiger Race is surely here for the White Tiger Remains within the Ancient Ruins. It seems the Ancient Ruins are even more perilous than I imagined. Once inside, everyone must be cautious and vigilant," Feng Nian reminded several.

Feng Ning, Feng Ying, and the others, including Chen Mo, nodded.

"Feng Nian, we meet again." Not far away, a refined man greeted Feng Nian.

"Lin Yifu."

Feng Nian also recognized the refined man from the previous Jade Secret Realm encounter with the Lin Family.

Lin Yifu approached with the younger members of the Lin Family.

"Ah, this must be your clan's youngest elder, Fairy Huangyi, correct?" Lin Yifu conversed with Feng Nian, scanning Fairy Huangyi, who seemed familiar; upon reflection, he recalled viewing a portrait in the past.

At that time, Miao Yin Sect had released a list featuring the hundred most beautiful women of the Celestial Star Realm, all of whom they strongly wished to recruit, among them Fairy Huangyi, complete with a portrait.
