My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

Chapter 254: Since You Love Me So Much, It’s Not Too Much to Give Me the Mythical Treasure, Right?

"There's no misunderstanding."

Qi Yuan laughed, his eyes full of mirth.

Though his smile was friendly, it appeared particularly terrifying to Elder Xiang Yun, as if Blood-Robed Sword God could end his life in an instant.

At that moment, a bright, almost heavenly voice rang out.

"Blood-Robed Sword God, why didn’t you notify me before coming to Qinghong City? I would have prepared a grand welcome for you at Feng Palace."

Everyone turned to see a woman wearing a veil, as ethereal as a goddess from the Nine Heavens.

Surrounded by radiant colors and graceful in her movements, she was as beautiful as a celestial being.

The moment she appeared, she became the center of everyone's attention.

"Greetings, Grand Sovereign Jasmine!"

"Greetings, Palace Master!"

All the cultivators bowed.

After all, Grand Sovereign Jasmine was the most prestigious woman in Feng Tian Domain, and she was also the leader of Feng Palace, the foremost power in the domain.

Cold sweat dripped from Elder Xiang Yun's forehead.

With Grand Sovereign Jasmine's arrival, it was undeniable that the man before him was indeed Blood-Robed Sword God.

Qi Yuan glanced at Grand Sovereign Jasmine and lazily remarked, "These people accused me of stealing the Exquisite Teapot from Wangxian Tower and demanded I commit suicide to atone. Normally, with my temperament, I would have killed them with a single strike and been done with it. But considering the ambiguous relationship between us, I thought I'd give you some face."

Elder Xiang Yun, hearing this, felt a flicker of hope—was he going to be spared?

But Qi Yuan's next words dashed all his hopes.

"So, I called you here to witness as I kill them."

A flash of blood-red light cut through the air in an instant.

The once arrogant Elder Xiang Yun and the assistant manager of Wangxian Tower were split in half by Qi Yuan’s blood-imbued sword.

Qi Yuan clapped his hands and looked at Grand Sovereign Jasmine. "Since you love me so much, you shouldn’t mind me cleaning house for you, right?"

Qi Yuan’s sudden move shocked all the cultivators present.

Even with Grand Sovereign Jasmine on the scene, he had slain her subordinates right in front of her, showing no respect for her authority.

However, Grand Sovereign Jasmine didn’t show any anger. Instead, she smiled charmingly, full of allure. "They insulted you. If you hadn’t killed them, I would have done it for you."

The cultivators who heard Grand Sovereign Jasmine’s words were all filled with envy for Blood-Robed Sword God.

To kill her subordinates in front of her, yet she wasn’t angry and spoke to him so tenderly—this was true love.

Blood-Robed Sword God was the real winner in life.

He had not only immense power but also the affection of a Grand Sovereign.

"It seems I misunderstood you. The rumors were true; you really do love me that much," Qi Yuan said casually.

Grand Sovereign Jasmine chuckled softly. "How could I not be infatuated with you, a man of unmatched beauty and extraordinary strength?"

As she spoke, she reached out, attempting to touch Qi Yuan's arm. "Why don't you come back to Feng Palace with me?"

"No," Qi Yuan flicked her hand away before it could touch his arm. "Men and women should keep their distance. I haven’t agreed to date you, so… don't touch me."

A look of surprise flashed across Grand Sovereign Jasmine’s face before she smiled again. "Why have you come to Qinghong City, my lord?"

"I heard that there’s a beauty in Qinghong City who secretly admires me. She cries herself to sleep every night because she can’t see me. I couldn’t bear it, so I came to check on her, to see if she’s sick from longing," Qi Yuan lied shamelessly.

After all, since Grand Sovereign Jasmine had spread rumors of her affection for him, he might as well embellish the story a bit.

"My darling Jasmine, I didn’t expect you to love me this much. I… am truly touched," Qi Yuan added, deliberately deepening his voice on the word "darling."

Surely, Grand Sovereign Jasmine would be charmed by him.

The other cultivators struggled to contain their laughter upon hearing Qi Yuan’s words.

Unfortunately, Blood-Robed Sword God had a fearsome reputation as a killer, so they didn’t dare laugh openly.

Instead, Grand Sovereign Jasmine laughed with a sound like silver bells. "No wonder I fell for you; you’re indeed interesting."

"My darling Jasmine, since you love me so much and I’m already here in Qinghong City, when are you going to confess your love for me?" Qi Yuan’s words left everyone in shock.

"Confess?"

"Is Grand Sovereign Jasmine going to confess to Blood-Robed Sword God?"

The cultivators struggled to process what they were hearing.

How did this turn into Grand Sovereign Jasmine proposing to Blood-Robed Sword God?
The smile on Grand Sovereign Jasmine’s face froze. "My lord, surely you’re joking?"

"I never joke. Since you love me so much, you wouldn’t mind confessing your love, right?" Qi Yuan continued to apply moral pressure.

If you love me so much, wouldn’t you confess your love?
Grand Sovereign Jasmine smiled but said nothing.

Qi Yuan continued, "However, you’re just a bit pretty, like the kind of girl who can’t find a husband in our village. If you want to confess your love, you should show some sincerity. For instance, you could give me the Mythical Treasure as a gift. Who knows, I might just accept your confession."

Qi Yuan’s words were so audacious that the onlookers held their breath.

They wanted to ask, Blood-Robed Sword God, are you blind?
Grand Sovereign Jasmine is the most beautiful woman in Feng Tian Domain, and you say she can't find a husband?
And suggesting she gives the Mythical Treasure as a gift—Blood-Robed Sword God, you really dare to think big!
Grand Sovereign Jasmine’s gaze grew deep. "The Mythical Treasure was left to me by my father. Only my husband can share it with me."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan sighed. "It seems you don’t love me enough. To think, I, Blood-Robed Sword God, can’t even compare to some delinquent riding a ghost fire motorcycle. Those delinquents can make girls lose their minds, but you… you’re not even willing to give me an old man’s inheritance."

"My lord jests," Grand Sovereign Jasmine replied, her voice softening. "Though I’ve long admired you, my marriage isn’t entirely up to me. Before my father passed, he said that only someone willing to die for me could marry me and share the Mythical Treasure."

"Your father was a stubborn old man; you shouldn’t listen to him," Qi Yuan shrugged.

What era is this? The Qing dynasty is long gone.

Why should love involve life and death?
"I can’t disobey my father’s wishes. It seems we are fated to be apart," Grand Sovereign Jasmine said pitifully, like a girl next door.

"It just means you don’t love me enough." Qi Yuan continued his moral assault, speaking coldly. "In that case, you can go."

Grand Sovereign Jasmine smiled. "My lord, if you ever have the time, do visit me at Feng Palace. Though I can’t give you the Mythical Treasure, there are other things I can give you."

With that, Grand Sovereign Jasmine disappeared.

The cultivators who witnessed the event were deeply shocked.

They were also incredibly excited to have been there to witness it.

Qi Yuan glanced at the corpses on the floor and lightly kicked them out of the room.

He then looked at Ye He and said softly, "Thank you, brother, for speaking up."

Ye He was taken aback, feeling deeply honored that the legendary Blood-Robed Sword God was addressing him.

The Great Sun Flame Emperor also spoke up. "Brother Ye, thank you."

He understood the courage it took for Ye He to speak up at that moment.

Ye He glanced at the others and finally sent a low-voiced transmission. "Be careful with Grand Sovereign Jasmine; she’s not as simple as she seems."

"Oh, really? Thank you for the warning."
After a brief exchange, Ye He left.

The door was closed, leaving only the Divine Flower Four Sovereigns in the room.

At this point, the Ice Mountain Queen couldn’t help but laugh. "Origin Heavenly Sovereign, I’ve never admired anyone in my life, but now I admire you!"

The conversation between Qi Yuan and Grand Sovereign Jasmine was something the Ice Mountain Queen couldn’t imagine herself saying. She wouldn’t even dare to breathe in front of Grand Sovereign Jasmine.

But Qi Yuan had outright asked Grand Sovereign Jasmine to confess.

Rogue Immortal praised, "Heavenly Sovereign is mighty; I surrender!"

The Great Sun Flame Emperor, however, looked serious as he repeated Ye He’s warning. "Origin Heavenly Sovereign, you need to be careful. Grand Sovereign Jasmine is not simple."

"For even a Purple Mansion to know she’s not simple, it means… she really isn’t simple," Qi Yuan mused, his eyes deep.

After all, which Grand Sovereign is simple?
If a Grand Sovereign secretly told Qi Yuan that Grand Sovereign Jasmine wasn’t simple, that would be normal.

But for a Purple Mansion to say it… that was intriguing.

"Proceed with caution," the Great Sun Flame Emperor repeated.

He knew that Origin Heavenly Sovereign had the power of a Yin God.

From his grandfather, Feng Jun, he knew that Origin Heavenly Sovereign had devoured the Heavenly Dao of Moon-Watching Continent and could wield the power of a Grand Sovereign.

But this was Canglan Realm, and the Heavenly Dao that Origin Heavenly Sovereign had devoured didn’t match Canglan Realm, so he could only exert the power of someone at the fourth step of the Heavenly Path, making him one of the weaker Grand Sovereigns.

Although Qi Yuan had his Stellar Golden Core, Canglan Realm was unique, and the Stellar Golden Core couldn’t fully unleash its power here.

So, in the Great Sun Flame Emperor’s view, the current Blood-Robed Sword God was still inferior to Grand Sovereign Jasmine.

Of course, it would be a different story on Moon-Watching Continent.

"Don’t worry, Grand Sovereign Jasmine… really loves me. How could she bear to harm me? If she does, I’d have to cut open her chest and ask her heart why she’s treating me this way," Qi Yuan said.

"She really loves you?" The Ice Mountain Queen was stunned.

"Yes," Qi Yuan replied casually.

Although his nose had been growing while talking with Grand Sovereign Jasmine, suggesting that beautiful women are the best liars, her affection seemed genuine.

However, it might be a different kind of affection from what ordinary people understand.

Grand Sovereign Jasmine likely had feelings for many people.

"She’s just after my body," Qi Yuan said angrily. "She sexually harassed me!"

"Huh?"

"What?"

The other three were puzzled.

It didn’t seem like Grand Sovereign Jasmine had done anything inappropriate to Qi Yuan.

How was this sexual harassment?

"Did you two do something in front of us just now, so fast we didn’t even notice?" Rogue Immortal speculated.

"Hey, don’t slander me. I’m not that fast. Besides, who said sexual harassment requires physical contact? She was eyeing me lustfully!"

While interacting with Grand Sovereign Jasmine, Qi Yuan occasionally heard her inner thoughts.

And they were quite inappropriate.

If Qi Yuan had a system, it would probably be constantly alerting him.

Lust +1.

Lust +1.

Yes, the lust was all coming from Grand Sovereign Jasmine.

That’s why Qi Yuan had been so fearless.

"She was sexually harassing you with her mind?" The Ice Mountain Queen couldn’t hold back her laughter. "Is that even possible?"

"Why wouldn’t mental sexual harassment count as harassment?
I’ve been wronged. I should have caught her red-handed. Then the Mythical Treasure would have been mine," Qi Yuan lamented, feeling he had missed the perfect opportunity.

Unfortunately, there was no short video platform in this world.

Otherwise, he would have exposed Grand Sovereign Jasmine for the perverted woman she was.

"Origin Heavenly Sovereign, many strong figures in Feng Tian Domain are eyeing the Mythical Treasure," the Great Sun Flame Emperor reminded him. "After all, it’s the inheritance of a Myth."

A Myth is someone who has taken the seventh step on the Heavenly Path, standing at the peak of the Yin Gods.

One more step, and they would become a Yang God!

The inheritance of a Mythical figure not only attracted the attention of Yin Gods from Feng Tian Domain but also tempted those from the Demon and Monster Domains.

The reason Grand Sovereign Jasmine was so pursued wasn’t just because of her beauty but because of the Mythical Treasure.

Everyone wanted the Mythical Treasure to reach the seventh step.

"Didn’t the Dao-Seeking Grand Sovereign pursue Grand Sovereign Jasmine? Origin Heavenly Sovereign, after what you did today, the Dao-Seeking Grand Sovereign might challenge you," the Ice Mountain Queen laughed.

"Are these old men, these Grand Sovereigns, really going to fight over a woman like street thugs?" Qi Yuan wondered aloud.

"The Dao-Seeking Grand Sovereign isn’t fighting for a woman; he’s fighting for the Mythical Treasure and the opportunity to step into legend!" the Ice Mountain Queen explained.

The Great Sun Flame Emperor nodded. "Because of the Mythical Treasure, five Yin Gods have died in the past few thousand years, three of whom were from East Land."

These Yin Gods were rumored to have perished due to Grand Sovereign Jasmine.

Other Yin Gods were aware of this.

But what could they do?

The Mythical Treasure was in Grand Sovereign Jasmine’s hands. To obtain it, they had to pay a price.

It wasn’t about jealousy; it was about the Mythical Treasure.

"East Land has so many pure-hearted warriors that they traveled to Feng Tian Domain just to die?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

No wonder East Land had so few Yin Gods compared to the other three domains.

It turned out they had all died in Feng Tian Domain.

No, wait, some had also died at Qi Yuan’s hands.

Now, there were only a few Yin Gods left in East Land.

"Should I team up with these people to seize Grand Sovereign Jasmine’s Mythical Treasure?" Qi Yuan pondered, then shook his head. "But she only harassed me; she doesn’t deserve to die. It’s tough standing on the moral high ground."

Compared to the Bright Palace, Grand Sovereign Jasmine was clearly on a higher level.

When dealing with the Bright Palace, Qi Yuan could easily take the moral high ground, listing its seven deadly sins.

But with Grand Sovereign Jasmine, that approach wouldn’t work.

The most important thing was that Qi Yuan considered himself a law-abiding person who wouldn’t kill the innocent.

"If Grand Sovereign Jasmine dies, the Mythical Treasure can’t be opened, so…" the Great Sun Flame Emperor added.

"Grand Sovereign Jasmine, my beloved White Moonlight, since you love me so much and our feelings are somewhat mutual, what’s wrong with giving me the Mythical Treasure?" Qi Yuan sighed.

The Mythical Treasure was said to contain many techniques.

At that moment, the Great Sun Flame Emperor said, "Origin Heavenly Sovereign, I have an idea. We could establish a faction specifically to help you collect techniques."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan was intrigued. "But… I’m very poor and can’t afford to buy techniques."

Collecting techniques required a huge investment of manpower, resources, and finances.

For example, Ascending Heaven Pavilion had amassed so many techniques because Ling Tian Pavilion supported it financially.

"That’s simple. We don’t need to pay for them; we can… share," the Great Sun Flame Emperor proposed, clearly having thought this through.
