52: Your Majesty, I've come to take you back.

"Cult Revered Master, we have arrived at the Jade Moon Sect."

On the jin mie imperial carriage, Xiao Meng spoke softly.

Chi Lin's slightly squinted eyes snapped open instantly.

She stretched lazily, her porcelain-white toes wiggling unconsciously.

The pinkish-white soles of her feet appeared quite seductive.

"We've finally arrived. Go, let the Five Great Nether Lords provide backup for This Cult Master. To welcome back the Emperor, the spectacle must be grand..."

Chi Lin murmured, then lightly waved her delicate hand. The next moment, a red garment draped over her body.

Her ice-blue twin tails were originally very cute.

But when Chi Lin donned this red garment, her entire aura became incredibly violent.

A trace of bloodthirsty light flickered within her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, the Cult Revered Master of the Jin Mie Cult, who struck terror into the hearts of the entire Qihuang Continent, appeared.

Her bare, jade-like feet lightly tapped the ground, and in the next instant, her figure appeared outside the jin mie imperial carriage.

Seeing this, Xiao Meng immediately followed her out.

At the same time, she was full of anticipation; the Lord Emperor could finally return to the Jin Mie Cult once more.

"The Jin Mie Cult...? They actually came?"

"And it's that legendary jin mie imperial carriage. It's said that it only moves when their Cult Revered Master personally arrives. Could it be... that Cult Revered Master has actually come in person?"

"Wait, what do they want to do? Those five figures..."

Whether it was the Disciples of the Jade Moon Sect or Disciples from other powers attending the Qiong Yue Grand Assembly, everyone was buzzing with discussion.

The jin mie imperial carriage had now stopped above the gates of the Jade Moon Sect.

Five figures appeared around it, all dressed in black robes.

Wearing crescent moon masks, every single figure radiated an extremely terrifying aura.

As the auras of the five figures collided, they seemed to form an invisible pressure.

This terrifying pressure left everyone feeling utterly horrified.

Following that, the five figures simultaneously let out a chaotic voice:

"Jin Mie Cult, Ten Hall Underworld Lords, respectfully welcome the Emperor's return!"

As their voices fell, a charming figure dressed in red with bare feet appeared in the sky.

She did not speak, merely gazing quietly in the direction of the Jade Moon Sect.

"Is that the Cult Revered Master of the Jin Mie Cult? Hmm... she looks so cute..."

"Shh, don't let her cuteness fool you; this person acts entirely as she pleases."

"With such a grand display, does she have no regard for the Jade Moon Sect?"

"I heard the Jin Mie Cult has been expanding frantically lately. Could it be they really have designs on the Jade Moon Sect today?"

Ignoring the voices of the many Cultivators below, Chi Lin only stared at the figure appearing from the Jade Moon Sect.

That person was the Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect, Empress Qiongyue, Dongfang Yingxue.

"Chi Lin, making such a scene, do you intend to go to war with my Jade Moon Sect?"

Dongfang Yingxue frowned slightly, unable to figure out what this person was trying to do.

Upon hearing this, Chi Lin simply gave a charming laugh.

"Sister Dongfang, what are you saying? I have only come to welcome back my Lord Emperor~"

Chi Lin had previously learned of the Emperor's current identity from Li Ye.

He was the Disciple of this Empress Qiongyue, so naturally, she couldn't be too disrespectful.

Otherwise, the Lord Emperor would surely be angry.

Lord Emperor...?

Chi Lin's words left many people present feeling bewildered.

Who was the Emperor? And why would they come to the Jade Moon Sect to find him?

Dongfang Yingxue's expression froze upon hearing this.

Emperor...?

She had also heard rumors of the Jin Mie Cult's mysterious Emperor.

But she never expected that Chi Lin would come to the Jade Moon Sect to say she was welcoming back the Emperor.

Ridiculous. Could that Emperor possibly be someone from the Jade Moon Sect?

"Chi Lin, there's no need for these nonsense words. If you wish to... today..."

"Cough, that... Revered Master, how about letting me say a few words...?"

Before Dongfang Yingxue could finish her sentence, she suddenly saw Gu Yuan arrive.

He spoke with a somewhat sheepish expression.

Dongfang Yingxue gave him a strange look upon hearing him.

What is this fellow up to now...?

Although I told you to receive the Jin Mie Cult, I didn't tell you to come out right now.

Yun Qingci and Xi Nian, who had come along with him, were also quite confused.

Neither of them understood what Gu Yuan wanted to do.

However, before they could speak, the next scene left everyone present utterly shocked.

The originally arrogant and willful Chi Lin was seen.

At this moment, she actually lunged straight into Gu Yuan's arms like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, she stood on her tiptoes and rubbed against Gu Yuan's chest coquettishly.

Those ice-blue twin tails swayed along with her, showing the owner's joyful mood.

"Emperor... mm... I, I know I was wrong, so I've come to take you back. Will you forgive me, please...?"

Chi Lin greedily inhaled the scent on Gu Yuan's body, lightly biting her lip as she murmured.

For someone as proud as her to be able to speak words that were almost an admission of defeat, or even submission.

One could imagine how deep her longing for Gu Yuan was.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Meng rubbed her forehead with a wry smile.

No, Cult Revered Master, is this what you meant by coming to ask the Emperor?

This, how did you just dive straight into his arms?

Gu Yuan was also somewhat dazed at this moment.

He had thought Chi Lin would come looking for him, and he had thought about whether she would do something excessive.

But the only thing he hadn't thought of was that she would embrace him so proactively.

To think, she had proactively hugged him in front of so many people.

She was such a proud person; the Cult Revered Master of the Jin Mie Cult had always been decisive in killing, cold and heartless.

Yet now, she was like an abandoned kitten.

Holding him, begging him to go back with her.

This... Gu Yuan pursed his lips, looked up at the people around him who were already dumbfounded, and sighed softly.

"Gu Yuan, you and her..."

Dongfang Yingxue was also stunned. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask but not knowing what to ask.

At this moment, she felt she could no longer understand this Disciple who was closest to her.

Emperor... Gu Yuan is the Emperor of the Jin Mie Cult...?

How is this possible!?

But... Dongfang Yingxue looked at Chi Lin, who was tightly hugging Gu Yuan, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.

If Gu Yuan were not the Emperor, how could Chi Lin possibly act in such a manner?

"Gu Yuan, you will need to give This Venerable a good explanation later. Hmph, now have your Chi Lin change locations to talk, do you hear me?"

Dongfang Yingxue bit her lip and gave Gu Yuan a fierce glare, then immediately turned and left the spot.

Gu Yuan, on the other hand, shook his head, looking quite weary of life.

Sigh, the favorability of Master Baby was almost farmed enough to unlock kissing and touching.

With this commotion, great, it looks like that favorability has gone straight to zero.
