She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Perhaps it was because she herself was unwilling to become Chu Xiao's Cauldron.
Or perhaps it was because she had been marked by Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, there was a resistance in her heart; she didn't want Chu Xiao to touch her at all.
Previously, she had always used Cultivation and her special Physique as excuses to prevent Chu Xiao from getting close.
But now, after encountering some setbacks, Chu Xiao needed someone to comfort him.
Song Miaoyu was naturally the most suitable candidate.
She was also destined to be his exclusive possession, his woman.
Chu Xiao only wanted to embrace the intellectual and gentle Saintess before him.
Song Miaoyu bit her lip, her slender hand clenching secretly.
For some reason, as soon as she thought about Chu Xiao hugging and getting intimate with her, she felt a sense of nausea and disgust.
There was even a faint sense of panic.
It was as if it were some kind of physiological aversion.
The closer Chu Xiao got to her, the more Song Miaoyu felt a physiological resistance.
And just then, a message suddenly echoed in Chu Xiao's mind.
Chu Xiao paused, then stopped his movements.
He said to Song Miaoyu, "Miaoyu, I have something else to attend to. You should continue to Cultivate well."
With that, Chu Xiao turned and left.
Seeing Chu Xiao completely depart, Song Miaoyu let out a deep breath.
It was like a fish on the shore, on the verge of death, returning to the water.
Coming back to her senses, Song Miaoyu realized that her back was drenched in fragrant sweat.
She resisted Chu Xiao even more than she had imagined.
Before, Song Miaoyu had been hesitating, wondering if her choice was correct, if it went against her original intentions and beliefs.
But now, Song Miaoyu would no longer have any hesitation or doubt.
She simply didn't want to accept such a Destiny.
She didn't want everything she had to be taken away by Chu Xiao.
Not only would her Cultivation be taken, but even her person would be occupied.
If that were the case, then cooperating with Jun Xiaoyao was, on the contrary, the only and best choice.
Unbeknownst to her, Jun Xiaoyao had already become an important pillar in Song Miaoyu's heart.
With his help, Song Miaoyu might have a chance to rewrite her Destiny.
Meanwhile, Chu Xiao arrived at the depths of the Human Emperor Palace.
Here, there was a magnificent palace suspended above the clouds.
Immortal Qi cascaded down, and mist billowed, resembling a heavenly palace.
This was precisely the palace where one of the highest authorities of the Human Emperor Palace resided.
Chu Xiao entered it.
Inside the palace, star orbits rotated, and thousands of great stars, like a Universe.
A magnificent, blurred figure sat cross-legged in the center, with vast Emperor's might, appearing like a deity.
It was the Three Hall Master of the Human Emperor Palace.
He had appeared in projection form once before, in the Xuanhuang Universe, at the Xuanyuan Emperors Mausoleum.
It was also he who had guided Chu Xiao and allowed him to join the Human Emperor Palace.
"Failed again?" the Three Hall Master said indifferently.
Chu Xiao heard this, clenched his fists, and said with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, "I don't understand why they don't acknowledge me."
"I possess the Xuanyuan Bloodline, Cultivate the Human Emperor Dao Scripture, and even have the Human Emperor Sword."
"What right do they have to not acknowledge me?"
The Three Hall Master heard this and shook his head lightly, saying, "Don't be angry. Those few people just have such temperaments."
"Back when our Human Emperor Palace was established, we also tried our best to invite them to join."
"After all, they were followers of the Human Emperor, and their status, position, and strength were extraordinary."
"With theirjoin in, our Human Emperor Palace would become even more prosperous."
"But they are too stubborn."
"Except for the true Human Emperor, they hardly obey any existence, unless there is a xuanyuan token to command them, but even that can only slightly restrain them."
"Let alone you, even our Human Emperor Palace, they don't really approve of, believing that we don't belong to the orthodox Human Emperor lineage."
Chu Xiao's expression softened slightly upon hearing this.
Even the Human Emperor Palace, they looked down upon.
So, their disdain for him seemed to be a matter of course.
"Then, is that just how it is? But if I could gain their support..."
Chu Xiao still felt unwilling.
In truth, he wanted to have a truly independent force of his own.
Although his current status and position were glorious, it was all given to him by the Human Emperor Palace.
Without the support of the Human Emperor Palace, he would immediately be reduced to his former state.
Therefore, Chu Xiao could not accept such a situation.
If he could gain the support of the Five Tiger Generals, even if something unexpected happened, at least he would still have a force.
Of course, this was Chu Xiao's selfish desire, and he naturally couldn't voice it.
The Three Hall Master said, "You don't need to be anxious. You possess the Xuanyuan Bloodline. No matter how bad it gets, at least you still have the possibility of gaining the support of another force later on."
The Three Hall Master paused here, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
Chu Xiao was startled, then his eyes gleamed.
"The Xuanyuan Clan!"
To be honest, Chu Xiao was also very interested in the clan from which Emperor Ancient King Xuanyuan originated.
After all, to produce a figure like Emperor Ancient King Xuanyuan, the Xuanyuan Clan was obviously not simple.
However, the Xuanyuan Clan was too mysterious.
It was not in the Realm Within a Realm.
Even Chu Xiao was extremely curious about this clan.
The Three Hall Master said, "When the time and Destiny are right, the Xuanyuan Clan will naturally appear. You don't need to worry about that."
"What you need to prepare for now is the upcoming Human Emperor Grand Banquet."
"That will be an important ceremony to formally confirm your identity as the Human Emperor Heir, and it will also be a grand event that will shake the entire Realm Within a Realm."
"At that time, once your identity is confirmed and you become orthodox, you can then pressure those Five Tiger Generals to come out and assist you."
"If they are still unwilling then, you can say that they are disloyal to the Human Emperor and unrighteous to the Human Emperor Heir, using the general trend to coerce them."
The Three Hall Master's words made Chu Xiao's eyes light up slightly.
He had visited Five Directions Mountain three times without success, which was already showing utmost benevolence and righteousness.
This was indeed the last resort.
"Also, there's one more thing," the Three Hall Master changed the subject.
"What is it?" Chu Xiao asked.
"The Earth Emperor Palace, King Ziwu there, intends to strengthen the relationship and cooperation between the Three Emperors."
"So, they are interested in arranging a match between you and that young lady from the Earth Emperor Palace, Yunxi, who possesses one of the Immortal Spirit Three Treasures. Are you willing?"
The Three Hall Master's words stunned Chu Xiao.
The reason he asked Chu Xiao was naturally because he was aware of the conflict between Chu Xiao and Jun Xiaoyao.
To ask Chu Xiao to marry his enemy's younger sister, perhaps he would be unwilling.
But, to the Three Hall Master's surprise, a smile appeared on Chu Xiao's face.
"Your Excellency, I am certainly willing."
Would Chu Xiao refuse?
Of course not!
Not only would he not refuse, he would be delighted!
He wanted to see Jun Xiaoyao's expression upon hearing this news.
Would he go crazy, or be enraged?
But now, his identity as Chu Xiao was different from before.
He didn't believe that Jun Xiaoyao could still manipulate him as easily as before.
So, the most likely outcome was that he would marry Yunxi, while Jun Xiaoyao would be filled with resentment but powerless against him.
Just thinking of this situation made Chu Xiao's heart fill with joy.
The Three Hall Master naturally guessed Chu Xiao's thoughts.
A question suddenly arose in his mind.
Was it a wise choice to promote someone with such an unstable Heart-Nature as Chu Xiao to be the Human Emperor Heir?
