Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Wha, what is this..."

"Oh my God, I must be seeing things..."

"How is this possible?"

"The Tianqing Kingdom is in for a change..."

From within the crowd, exclamations of shock followed one after another, filling the air. Every strong warrior was clutching the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List with faces filled with horror, unable to stop their gasps of surprise.

On that very list, sharing the coveted top spot on the Tenglong List right next to Crown Prince Jiang Shanhe, was another name.

Xiao Yi!

Heaven-level student of the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, at the Four Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, with major achievements including: slaying Ye Feng, who was second on Tianqing Kingdom's Tenglong List, defeating Zhang Tianyi, second on Tianlan Kingdom's Tenglong List, killing the master of Mingjian Manor, and crippling an elder of the Nine Profound Sect...

Every newbie who enters the Tenglong List would have their major achievements listed.

This was essential for the rankings on the list to carry more weight!

Until now.

Everyone thought that at most Xiao Yi would only replace Ye Feng and claim the second spot on the Tenglong List, but to everyone's surprise, Treasure Pavilion had ranked Xiao Yi alongside Jiang Shanhe, as the joint top figure on the Tenglong List.

Joint first place!

This was unprecedented in the history of the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List.

Putting aside the dazzling series of achievements following Xiao Yi's name, just his shared first place with Jiang Shanhe was already astonishing enough!

Every strong warrior who had gotten their hands on a copy of the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List and seen this news, all looked in the direction of the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy and muttered to themselves, "The name Xiao Yi will surely spread across the world!"

Treasure Pavilion has branches everywhere.

Dragon and Tiger Lists of various countries could be purchased, and the name Xiao Yi quickly spread far and wide.

In the Tianlan Kingdom.

Wu Yu respectfully looked at the brocade-clad youth in front of him, who was none other than Wu Zheng, the top figure on the Tianlan Kingdom's Tenglong List and the reigning Crown Prince.

"Xiao Yi? Joint first on the Tianqing Tenglong List?"

Wu Zheng clenched his fist fiercely, the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List in his hand turned into a blaze and burnt to ashes. His face revealed a grim and cold smile, "Issue my order, in three months, I will personally visit the Tianqing Kingdom!"

"Yes!"

Wu Yu bowed respectfully and withdrew.

In the Purple Robe Kingdom.

Yue Ling'er was staring at the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List in her hands, dazed. After a long while, she put down the list and rushed straight to the residence of the current Crown Prince Yue Cang, "Big brother, big brother, come out quickly!"

"Ling'er? What brings you to visit me?" Yue Cang, with his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, wearing a sun hat, and holding a watering can, was tending to his flowers. He looked curiously at the hastily arriving Yue Ling'er and asked.

Yue Ling'er pursed her lips and said, "In three months, you have to accompany me to the Tianqing Kingdom!"

"Ah? No way, no way!"

Yue Cang was taken aback and shook his head, "This secret realm ordeal, Xiao Yi of the Tianqing Kingdom has killed too many people. His name has spread throughout the surrounding six countries by now, and surely many strong warriors will gather in the Tianqing Kingdom. There are a few tough guys who have been wanting to challenge me, and I would rather not waste my time with them!"

Yue Ling'er's face fell cold as she said, "You won't go? Then I'll just have to tell Father about your secret visit to Smoke and Dust..."

"Shh!"

Suddenly, Yue Cang vanished from where he was standing, covered Yue Ling'er's mouth with his hand, and said with a mixture of crying and laughter, "Oh my dear aunt, I'll go, okay? You absolutely cannot let this get out..."

Adjacent to the Tianqing Kingdom were the Baijing Kingdom, Qingyun Kingdom, and Sihai Kingdom.

Within these nations...

Some of the favored children of heavens also received the news, "Golden Core Realm Four Layer, actually on par with Jiang Shanhe? Interesting, I really want to see what kind of genius this is!"

"Most likely the Treasure Pavilion of Tianqing Kingdom is exaggerating. No matter how talented one is, how could they possibly kill an Eighth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm expert with just the Four Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm? I'm going to expose them in person..."

"Three months from now, in Tianqing Kingdom, I shall go!"

Just as Gu Junhe had said, Xiao Yi was indeed renowned in all directions.

His fame skyrocketed!

However...

As the one who caused all this commotion, Xiao Yi knew nothing about it.

Half a month had passed since he returned from the secret realm.

During these past two weeks, Xiao Yi had been in a coma. If it wasn't for his heartbeat still persisting, Gu Junhe would have thought he was dead.

This time his exhaustion was truly tremendous!

He had ignited seventy percent of his blood.

If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago.

That he was still alive was a miracle!

In the bedroom.

A silver-coated Little Lin was coiled by Xiao Yi's pillow. Over these past two weeks, it had not only regained its vitality but was full of energy and had successfully stepped into the Fourth Order realm. In terms of cultivation alone, it was comparable to the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Together with its powerful body that could withstand attacks from peak Golden Core Realm experts and the potent venom that could threaten Eighth Layer Golden Core Realm enemies, it was an extremely difficult foe.

Hiss hiss!

Little Lin lifted its head, its emerald eyes looking towards the door.

When it saw that Fang Qingzhu had come in, it relaxed, lazily worming its way over to her. Landing on her shoulder, it gently touched her cheek with a worried gaze at Xiao Yi.

Fang Qingzhu placed Little Lin on the table, rubbed its little head, and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yi will wake up soon." After a pause, she looked at Xiao Yi, who lay motionless on the bed, and repeated in a more resolute voice, "He will definitely wake up!"

For the past half month, it had been Fang Qingzhu who took meticulous care of Xiao Yi.

Day after day, under the nourishment of century-old ginseng and red-bellied brocade chicken soup, the blood that Xiao Yi lost was recovering.

It was just that the expenditure from that battle was too great, which was why he had yet to wake up.

But Xiao Yi's life was out of danger.

"Xiao Yi, do you know? You are now on top of the Teng Long List, tied with Great Prince Jiang Shanhe!"

Fang Qingzhu helped Xiao Yi to sit up against the headrest, talking to him. "Elder Yan and Bingxin sent a letter the other day! Elder Yan planned to visit the capital soon; you need to wake up earlier. Otherwise, if you are still in a coma when they come, that would be really embarrassing!"

Fang Qingzhu cooled the chicken soup in the spoon and fed it to Xiao Yi bit by bit, "Do you remember when we first met, Xiao Yi? I was really desperate at that time! If it weren't for you, I might have already been... Thank goodness for you!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Xiao Yi..."

Fang Qingzhu kept talking about the past.

From when she met Xiao Yi to all that had happened along this journey.

From the memories of her childhood to the present...

During this half a month, she had persisted, talking to Xiao Yi every day, hoping to awaken him. Yet, as she saw Xiao Yi still with his eyes tightly shut, a layer of mist gradually formed over her eyes.

Hiss hiss!

Little Lin crawled up to her shoulder, its tail gently wiping the tears from the corner of her eye.

"Little Lin, I'm okay!"

Fang Qingzhu offered a faint smile, but as she turned her head back, the bowl and spoon clattered to the ground. She widened her eyes in disbelief at the sight before her, Xiao Yi: "..."
