Villain: Starting with a Flawless Body, Born Invincible

15: An Luoxin, the mouse in the dark corner, has a head full of schemesInside the Divine Son Hall.

Jun Lingxiao held the Jade Slip bestowed by the Old Ancestor, not rushing to open it, but recalling the words the Old Ancestor had spoken.

“It turns out that Prodigy in the Ten Directions Immortal Court isn’t just a random term. Prodigies are further categorized: ordinary Prodigies, peerless Prodigies, monstrous Prodigies, and Supreme Prodigies. There are corresponding rankings with strict potential assessments and extremely strict age limits.”

“Two Geniuses from the Jun Family have already surpassed ordinary Prodigies at this age, reaching the peerless ranking and becoming members of the peerless Prodigies.”

“As for me, according to the Old Ancestor’s words, I am fully qualified to be on the peerless ranking, but if I haven’t been evaluated, others won’t acknowledge it.”

According to the Old Ancestor, it was a ranking that looked good but wasn’t very useful; whether one joined or not didn’t matter. However, once on the ranking, one could participate in the exchange meetings of various Prodigies, discussing the Dao with other Geniuses, which would still yield some gains.

“The Prodigy Ranking is controlled by the various Imperial Dynasties. To be evaluated, one must visit the neighboring Immortal Dynasty. I can find time to go.”

“Then I’ll see what makes these Prodigies so formidable.”

Born in sorrow, dying in pleasure, Jun Lingxiao was not one to practice in isolation. The world was vast, and perhaps there truly were people even more prodigious than him.

As he thought, Jun Lingxiao looked at An Luoxin, who stood beside him like a maid, and mused that he should first resolve her matter.

Thinking this, Jun Lingxiao rested his chin on his hand, looking at her and asking,

“An Luoxin, you’ve gone to such great lengths to become my maid. What do you seek?”

An Luoxin was a very scheming woman, and he didn’t want such a maid. Although her Face and demeanor would certainly bring him Face when taking her out, she was a ticking time bomb.

“Revenge.” An Luoxin’s red lips parted slightly, uttering two words.

She maintained that same expression, a faint smile that seemed unchanging even if the sky fell.

“What kind of revenge?”

“My mother’s murder.”

“Your mother? Isn’t your mother the current Empress of the Imperial Dynasty?”

Jun Lingxiao was somewhat puzzled. Although he didn’t know what kind of power the Immortal Dynasty of the Central Plains truly was, there was no news even if the Empress was gone?

At this point, An Luoxin’s expression finally changed. She seemed to recall something, gritting her teeth, her Face filled with gloom.

“No... The current Empress of the Immortal Dynasty is not my mother. She is my aunt! She killed my mother! And she stripped my father of his power, imprisoning him and turning him into her Puppet, then she ascended to power herself!”

As she spoke, the hatred in An Luoxin’s eyes overflowed. Looking at her, if that aunt of hers were before her, she would likely eliminate her immediately!

“Imperial Dynasty strife...” Jun Lingxiao nodded in understanding, but the next moment, he showed an intrigued expression: “But what does that have to do with me?”

“As a subordinate of the Jun Family, such matters concerning the Immortal Dynasty shouldn’t involve our Jun Family, should they?”

“After all, the Jun Family wants the Immortal Dynasty, but whose name the Immortal Dynasty bears is actually irrelevant.”

Jun Lingxiao rested his chin on his hand, watching her, wanting to see what she would say to sway him.

He had initially thought it was a great opportunity, but now she was telling him he had to help her reclaim the Imperial Dynasty. This looked like a losing business deal no matter how he saw it.

He was not someone who would lose his way for a beautiful woman; everything had to be about profit.

“As long as Divine Son helps me with my revenge, everything I have will willingly be given to Divine Son...”

“However, although my aunt is young, she has already advanced to the Quasi-Emperor Realm and will soon step into the Emperor Realm. This is somewhat difficult even for Divine Son.”

An Luoxin walked before Jun Lingxiao and knelt again, her tone full of humility, as if she truly regarded Jun Lingxiao as her master.

But Jun Lingxiao had lived two lives; he knew very well that the reality was not like this.
