1130: Chapter 334 Princess Yunze_2 1130: Chapter 334 Princess Yunze_2 Leading Princess Snow by the hand into the cave, they looked around but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
It was just a common natural cave.
If there was anything special about it, it would be the trickling spring within the cave connected to a warm spring below.
This place would be warm in winter and cool in summer, and with a little renovation would make a prime spot to live in seclusion.
Even a sweep of Divine Sense uncovered pots and pans buried underground, with books and writing materials rotting away.
Next to the warm spring was a stone table covered in dust, and on the table were some uneaten dry rations, likely left by someone in the past two years.
An ordinary cave, with nothing peculiar about it.
Su He and Princess Snow looked around, finding nothing special.
The Concentric Bell that was floating nearby, however, seemed very pleased.
The closer they got to the cave, the more animated the Concentric Bell became, resembling the Flying Sword of his father-in-law, although it did not have an Artifact Spirit and couldn’t even really be considered a proper Magic Artifact.
Yet, in these past few days, it had become more and more lively.
The tinkling sound of the Bronze Bell echoed crisply in the cave, resonating with the bubbling warm spring.
In that instant, the flow of the warm spring became even more cheerful.
It was as though there were fish frolicking in the water.
Both of them looked toward the warm spring when they heard a warm and elegant voice from behind, “Don’t be deceived by the Concentric Bell’s copper appearance; it was actually refined from the spring water here, embodying the essence of the spring, the ultimate form of water.”
Su He and Princess Snow swiftly turned around, only to see Ji Tianchen standing there in a scholar’s attire with his hands behind his back.
His eyes were entirely on Princess Snow, filled with an indissoluble indulgence.
Princess Snow’s body shivered.
“Father-in-law?” Su He whispered in doubt.
His father-in-law finally seemed to take notice of him, casting him a disdainful glance, not bothering to speak.
His gaze returned to Princess Snow, ignoring everything else.
“Is this a consciousness body left from the past, or a puppet?”
The father-in-law before them couldn’t be his real body, lacking the Immortal Spirit Qi of a living person.
The father-in-law glared at him once more, then looked at Princess Snow and softly said, “You’ve come.”
Princess Snow nodded her head but remained silent.
Since hatching from her shell, she had known who her father was.
When Ji Tianchen reemerged in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, she had sought him more than once and had seen him more than once.
But back then, Ji Tianchen wouldn’t recognize her, let alone his own wife.
And her mother had never actively sought an audience with her father again, having only watched from a distance.
Just watching quietly, neither approaching nor making contact.
“Which period are you from, Father?” Princess Snow quietly asked.
Ji Tianchen chuckled, “Probably about three hundred years before you were ‘hatched’.
It should be when this form was at the peak of its Tao Cultivation.”
Arrangements made during the peak of cultivation?
Princess Snow stood quietly, having never spoken to her father, and at that moment, didn’t know how to start a conversation, nor how to interact with a father as a daughter.
She stood motionless, posing as a cold Fairy, but the Tianyi curled in Su He’s hand was quivering slightly, signaling the unrest in her heart.
Su He gently squeezed her hand, assuring her that he was by her side, then released his wife and clasped his hands together, bowing to Ji Tianchen, “Son-in-law Su He greets Sir.”
Ji Tianchen finally really glanced at him and huffed, “If you want to call me father-in-law, then break ties with your other two wives, and I shall acknowledge you as my half-son.”
A test of power, indeed!
Su He was momentarily stunned, but then the Tianyi reached out.
Without a word, Princess Snow pulled Su He and started walking towards the cave exit.
She was his daughter and naturally respected her father, whether he was the Heavenly Emperor or a madman.
But the affairs between her and her husband were not for others to comment on.
The husband whom Princess Snow acknowledged, whether he was a chicken or a dog, she would not complain.
Seeing that Princess Snow was actually leaving without a second thought, Ji Tianchen suddenly became anxious, “Wrong, wrong, I was wrong!
It doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter!
I will no longer meddle in this matter!”
Damn, such nosiness.
Isn’t it natural for a grown daughter to get married?
Besides, he already knew about this.
Obviously, his daughter was unique in the world, but Baiyin Immortal Sovereign and Tan Tai Immortal Sovereign were also fairies hard to find in both past and present in All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Even during the Heavenly Court Period, they held significant power.
To be granted titles like kings and ministers was only to be expected.
With this thought in mind, he looked at Su He with even more displeasure.
What merit or ability did this man have?
High cultivation?
Genius talent?
Who wasn’t like that?
Princess Snow turned her head and looked at him, “Father called me here with all this trouble, what for?”
Spirit Wisdom was normal, leaving a message in the Illusion Realm.
Even with Spirit Wisdom gone astray, one still depicted the likeness of Camel Hump Mountain in the letter.
This place must concern some important matter.
Hearing his daughter’s words, Ji Tianchen slightly relaxed, indeed, no matter the identity, nothing is more important than one’s daughter.
Originally, when the Heavenly Court was destroyed, All Heavens and Myriad Realms almost shattered, He could still stay calm fishing on the platform, fearless, and in adversity, he created a path to survival without the slightest fear.
But just now, when his daughter was really going to leave with that boy, he felt instantly tense.
Ji Tianchen chuckled with his hands behind his back.
“As a father, I owe you and your mother much.
Knowing I couldn’t wait for your birth, I left a residual image to see you and, as a father, I must leave some assets for my daughter.”
He looked at Ji Feixue and Su He, his lips titled slightly upward with a hint of pride, “My daughter, do you know what your father’s identity is?”
Before Ji Feixue could speak, he stepped forward, his scholar’s robe turning into a Robe with cloud and dragon symbols.
He seemed to be still in the cave, but as if he materialized out of Nine Heavens, consolidating All Heavens and Myriad Realms, his voice echoing, “I, am the Heavenly Emperor!”
His mouth contained the Heavenly Charter, and instantly outside the cave, the sky changed, celestial flowers gathered, and omens formed.
Yet at that moment, Ji Tianchen glanced upwards, and all the phenomenal occurrences vanished in an instant, as though they had never appeared.
When the Heavenly Emperor did not permit them, heaven and earth obeyed.
Having done all this, Ji Tianchen clad in his Robe with cloud and dragon symbols looked at Ji Feixue.
Although he did not speak, the look in his eyes shouted out.
“Shocking!”
“Astonishing!”
He anticipated Ji Feixue’s surprised reaction, but saw Ji Feixue expressionless, still with her cool demeanor, lightly voicing a sound.
“Oh.”
The Heavenly Emperor: “???”
What, just an “oh” and that’s it?
You have a Heavenly Emperor as a father, and that’s all you think?
Her single, indifferent “oh” extinguished the raging enthusiasm in his heart, and the Heavenly Emperor was utterly taken aback.
Ji Feixue, noticing his disappointment, indifferently said, “I am already aware of this.”
The Heavenly Emperor: “…”
Which scoundrel let slip the news?
He fumed silently but heard Ji Feixue say further on, “Did you call me here just to inform me of this?
It would be better to tell me how many enemies I shall have.”
The whole Heavenly Emperor was not okay, hearing Ji Feixue’s words, yet pride surged within him again, “The enemies of Ji Tianchen, why should they exist in this world?”
How many enemies had he had in his life?
Conquering All Heavens, his eyes saw enemies everywhere.
In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, which top Greater Power from each world wasn’t subdued, rallied, or even slain by the Heavenly Court?
However, upon ascending the Heavenly Emperor’s Throne and looking back, All Heavens were tranquil.
His enemies had become the foundation of his throne.
Even Yuan was held back by him at the end of the River of Time, unable to return for eons.
His words carried arrogance, but his gaze toward Ji Feixue held even greater pride for his daughter.
Not asking anything else but wondering who the enemy was, she was ready to bear the brunt of her father’s rivals.
Such a filial daughter, this is the true pride of his whole life!
Ji Tianchen laughed heartily, “There are no enemies, and even if there were, there would be no need for you to take action.
But the Heavenly Court I built with my own hands is gone; I can’t leave you much.”
Regret and self-reproach gleamed in his eyes.
“You are my bloodline, indeed the princess of the Heavenly Court, you ought to have a title.” Had the Heavenly Court still existed, Ji Feixue would undoubtedly be the most honorable Fairy.
Ji Tianchen sighed, “In the Heavenly Court, places like the Lingxiao Hall and Heavenly Pond are untouchable, not even the Primeval True Form could disturb them.
However, these places cannot be granted to you.” His gaze at Ji Feixue held more self-reproach.
“There are still several unbroken places within the Heavenly Court, all with great opportunities.
I will grant you one.”
As he spoke, his demeanor suddenly changed.
He was no longer a scholar, nor a doting father, but one who reigned over All Heavens, an Emperor.
With a raise of his hand, he grasped an Imperial Edict out of thin air.
Yet, without writing it down, he casually passed it to Ji Feixue, “The ancient lands of Heavenly Court possess a Big Swamp called ‘Yun’; I now bestow it to you as your domain.
You shall be known as ‘Princess Yunze’!”
As Ji Tianchen spoke, a flash of light enveloped him, and power converged into his fingertips, forming a beam of golden light, which he pressed onto Ji Feixue’s forehead.
The gold flickered and then disappeared inside.
Along with the faint proclamation, “By decree of the Heavenly Emperor…” Ji Feixue felt a distant connection forming with a piece of land in the depths of obscurity.
Meanwhile, in the midst of an inexplicable Chaos, a Bai Ze that lay dormant suddenly raised its head.
Blinking its eyes, an expression of disbelief rose within.
Empress!
Princess?
