SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1142 - 1142 The Eternal Emperor

"So, will you agree, my dear Xiaoyao?" The Little Demon Empress's gaze burned like fire.

"What of it if the Life Forbidden Zone stands apart from the heavens? Would my Jun family be afraid? Do we need your protection?" Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

The mysterious Life Forbidden Zone, an ancient forbidden clan — their foundations were indeed deep and unfathomable.

But the Jun family — how could they be an ordinary immortal force?

If the Life Forbidden Zone wanted to go against the Jun family, they'd better weigh their own worth first.

The Little Demon Empress didn't argue. She gave a slight nod and said, "That's true. The Jun family is very powerful — powerful enough that even certain forbidden zones would be wary."

"But… don't forget, the Jun family is currently afflicted by the Calamity Curse."

Jun Xiaoyao let out a light laugh. "You should know as well — the idea that the Calamity Curse could destroy my Jun family is nothing but a fantasy."

"To my Jun family, this is not a significant matter."

The Little Demon Empress said, "That's true, but it still imposes limitations."

"You must understand — in a battle between the most powerful, even the slightest gap can determine life and death, victory and defeat."

"If a truly unimaginable upheaval were to break out in the future, would the powerful members of your Jun family risk the Calamity Curse to join the fight?"

"At that point, the Jun family could do no more than protect itself."

The Little Demon Empress's words were not without reason.

In battles between the powerful, any minor factor could determine the outcome.

Let alone something like the Calamity Curse.

"So you can help me get through this upheaval?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

"But of course. Since I've spoken up, I can naturally guarantee your safety." The Little Demon Empress giggled.

"Do I really look like the type to live off a woman?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Though he did have a certain dark history in the foreign realm.

But this was the Immortal Domain — the Jun family's territory. He had no need to rely on any woman.

"So what if you do? I'm willing to let you, after all — you're just so fresh and delectable." The Little Demon Empress lightly licked her red lips with the tip of her tongue.

Jun Xiaoyao was left speechless.

Who exactly was trying to devour whom here?

"You're not just after my body, are you?" Jun Xiaoyao said bluntly.

This wasn't vanity — it was simply the truth.

There were indeed countless women who coveted his body.

"Your original Desolate Holy Body was already more than enough to excite me, and now you've added the Chaos Body on top of that — wait, it seems there's another aura as well."

The Little Demon Empress drew very close to Jun Xiaoyao, her delicate crystalline nose twitching slightly, as if she were taking in his scent.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.

This Little Demon Empress had quite sharp perception.

"Your true form isn't a dog, is it? What a keen nose." Jun Xiaoyao said with cool sarcasm.

The Demon God Palace was, by all accounts, made up of demon clan members.

Yan Rumeng's true form was the Heavenly Dream Butterfly.

So the Little Demon Empress likely wasn't human either.

Of course, this was just Jun Xiaoyao's teasing.

No matter what, the Little Demon Empress's true form couldn't possibly be a dog — that would far too greatly damage her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the Immortal Domain.

But to his surprise, the Little Demon Empress didn't get angry as expected.

Instead, her face flushed slightly as she said, "So the Divine Son has a thing for that — it's fine, a little playfulness never hurts. I'm willing to be your little puppy, woof woof…"

Jun Xiaoyao was utterly mortified.

When a woman truly lets herself go, there really is nothing a man can do.

Who could possibly handle this?

Hardly any man could withstand the Little Demon Empress's teasing.

But Jun Xiaoyao remained composed.

"You're not just after my body, are you? What's your real purpose?"

The Little Demon Empress said, "I do covet you, naturally — dual cultivation would be even better."

"Beyond that, great chaos is coming. This world is likely to be reshuffled entirely, and who knows how many immortal forces will vanish without a trace."

"And the Jun family — even with the influence of the Calamity Curse — remains one of the most powerful forces in this world."

Jun Xiaoyao immediately understood, and said with a cold smile, "I see. You actually want to form an alliance with my Jun family and borrow our strength."

"But of course. As long as you're willing to be with me, we'll naturally be family — we rise together and fall together."

The Little Demon Empress was being quite straightforward.

She could win over the most handsome man with the greatest talent in this world.

And also form an alliance with the most powerful family force.

This was practically a deal with no downside.

"I refuse." Jun Xiaoyao was decisive.

The Little Demon Empress was taken aback, then said, "Is it because of those two women from the Jiang family? It's fine — I don't mind. A group arrangement works too."

"I don't care whether you mind. I care whether they mind."

"And clearly, they would mind very much." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Never mind Jiang Shengyi and the others — Jun Xiaoyao himself minded greatly.

No matter how stunning the Little Demon Empress was, how beautiful, how mysterious her background — so what?

She had almost nothing to do with him before, and now she wanted to share his bed.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't consider himself some saintly gentleman, but he wasn't so casual as to go this far.

Besides, even if there were a queue, it wouldn't be the Little Demon Empress's turn.

What about that gentle, water-like beauty Luo Xiangling? Wasn't she a far more appealing option?

"Tsk tsk, the Divine Son is truly heartless. I'm so hurt." The Little Demon Empress said pitifully.

But then she broke into a faint smile and said, "Though who can say what the future holds? Perhaps one day, little brother will change his mind."

"You're overthinking it." Jun Xiaoyao said flatly.

"Hehe, I'm willing to wait for that day. I imagine it won't be too long…"

As her words faded, the strange gleam in Yan Rumeng's eyes dissipated.

She came back to her senses and suddenly realized she was standing very close to Jun Xiaoyao.

"I… what happened to me…" Yan Rumeng's face flushed, confused for a moment.

"Nothing." Jun Xiaoyao said with a calm smile.

"Still, I want to offer you my congratulations." Yan Rumeng composed herself and said graciously.

In the eyes of others, she was ethereal and pure.

Only in front of Jun Xiaoyao did she seem to revert to being an ordinary woman.

"Thank you." Jun Xiaoyao said.

Yan Rumeng took one long look at Jun Xiaoyao — from their initial hostility at the very beginning, to walking a stretch of the ancient road together at the end.

Jun Xiaoyao had left a mark on her heart that could never be erased.

Jun Xiaoyao had treated her well too, but it was likely limited to friendship.

Still, thinking it over carefully, Yan Rumeng felt a small pang of frustration inside.

After all, her long legs had been thoroughly touched by Jun Xiaoyao.

"Honestly — all the advantages were taken, and I got nothing out of it."

Yan Rumeng turned and walked away, biting her lip.

At that moment, Jun Xiaoyao's voice came from behind her.

"You are now a member of my Jun Emperor Court. I look forward to your guidance in the days ahead."

Hearing those words, Yan Rumeng's eyes stung, and she nearly let a tear fall.

If only he had said Jun Xiaoyao instead of Jun Emperor Court.

"This troublemaker — does he really expect me to wait for him my whole life?" Yan Rumeng sighed inwardly, though her lips quietly murmured a soft reply.

One encounter with Xiaoyao, and a lifetime is lost.

What could she do?

Watching Yan Rumeng's graceful figure disappear into the distance, Jun Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze.

The smile on his face faded, replaced by a look of contemplation.

Though he wasn't particularly drawn to the Little Demon Empress,

she had indeed brought him an important piece of information.

The great calamity and upheaval to come would very likely descend from the Nine Heavens above, from the place known as Guixu.

"Is the great calamity in that glimpse of the future the darkness upheaval?"

Jun Xiaoyao's tone grew heavy.

Suppressing the darkness upheaval was the duty of the Holy Body lineage.

And among the current Holy Bodies, aside from the last-generation Holy Body Wu Hu, there was only him.

"Wait, there's one more…"

A flash of insight struck Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

The Endless Emperor.

Was he still in this world?
