(Within The Screen In The Sky)

After Qian Linglong made a breakthrough into the Innate Realm in one breath, she opened her eyes dumbfounded by the innate aura emanating from her body.

Her tears suddenly welled up, and she began to cry softly.

As a child, she was unable to cultivate because of her physique, discriminated against by countless people, and also pitied by countless people because of this.

Their strange eyes pierced her body like a knife.

This was why she chose to stay away from her kin and hid in the area where these demons lived, licking her wounds silently.

Finally, she could stand up to those clansmen and tell them, "I, Qian Linglong, am not only a cultivator, but also a genius!"

Thinking of such, although there were still tear marks on her face, she couldn't help but break into tears and smile.

Qian Linglong turned back to face her smelly brother master behind her with a complex look in her eyes. She took a big step towards her master and reached out...to hug him in her arms.

Even if it was just a hug, Qian Linglong instantly blushed and let go with a playful smile.

"You don't have to think it is only because of you that I can now cultivate. This might be the result of my own efforts... To become my master, you at least have to be better than me. Starting today, only when you defeat me will I accept you as my Master."

"As long as it doesn't delay cultivation, you can do whatever you want."

Lin Yan shook his head and turned to leave.

It was time for him to start preparing the next cultivation plan for Qian Linglong.

After all, there wasn't much time left for him.

After Lin Yan walked away, the playful look on Qian Linglong's face gradually disappeared.

Turning to Lin Yan's back, Qian Linglong knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times one after another, whispering under her breath, "Master, from now on, you will always be my master."

…

(On the Lingxuan Continent)

"This Qian Linglong is stubborn but kind-hearted."

"Yes, it is clear that she already considers the Heavenly Emperor as her master, but she refuses to admit it and wants to compete with the Heavenly Emperor."

"Depending on what she is planning to compete with the Heavenly Emperor, she is more likely to lose badly."

Looking at the screen overhead, everyone began to mutter and they couldn't help but chuckle.

The Heavenly Emperor and Qian Linglong were in a pretty terrible environment from the images alone. The relationship between the two was, however, pure and simple.

A scene like this was simply much more comforting than everyone's distrust of the Heavenly Emperor and the root cause of their misunderstanding.

Moreover, they noticed that the Heavenly Emperor smiled more frequently on the screen than in the past.

(Within The Screen In The Sky)

Qian Linglong's realm had grown exponentially since she began cultivating.

Through spiritual qi nourishment, her thin body had also improved and was beginning to show her incredible beauty.

Qian Linglong treated Lin Yan like a competition candidate.

When she had time, she dragged Lin Yan to compete.

Moreover, the competition consisted of catching fish, running, and hiding-and-seek, none of which had anything to do with cultivation.

…

(In The Lingxiao Hall, Heavenly Palace)

Qian Linglong looked up at the screen above and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but arch up revealing a smile.

Her mind was constantly filled with images from that year.

Though it was only her and her master, it was the most reassuring time of her life. Each day was filled with fun.

The shadow of the Heavenly Emperor flashed before Qian Linglong.

Her smile slowly faded.

"You are actually the Heavenly Emperor... That's why though stinky brother appeared to be young, he was always calm. No matter what it was, I couldn't win against him. Even though he smiled, he wasn't really happy."

Qian Linglong muttered to herself.

Back then, her master, aka stinky brother, always seemed calm and unperturbed, so she trusted him. In addition, he gave her a sense of peace of mind.

But she knew that wasn't the case.

That's why Qian Linglong came up with an idea to try to compete with her master.

She wanted to use this method to make her Master happy.

…

Qian Linglong finally understood why her master had been unhappy.

It was because the burden on his shoulders was just a bit too heavy, so heavy that he could hardly carry it himself.

"Liar, big liar, you said I was destined to be the Heavenly Emperor. I do not want to be this bullshit Heavenly Emperor... I want you back here with me."

It was at this moment that Qian Linglong's tears flowed.

Qian Linglong's charming face instantly turned painful but she didn't care, just stared dead at the screen overhead.

Her master would not be killed by the Linglong Treasure Mirror, she believed.

She wanted to know where her master was.

It didn't matter where the master was.

Finding him was not a problem for her because she wasn't the same girl she was in the past with Nine Yin Veins, the current her was the Eternal Realm powerhouse.
