Chapter 363: A Woman's Heart_1
At this moment.
In an ancient hall of the San Dou Mi Dao,
At the head, a middle-aged man was drinking tea, his brow adorned with a Tai Chi symbol, dressed in a black Daoist robe, emanating an extraordinary aura.
This man was none other than the leader of the San Dou Mi Dao—Huang Tian Daizhu!
“Dongya, for Young Master Lin to personally visit you is indeed your good fortune; you must repay him well,”
Huang Tian Daizhu said with a slight smile as he looked towards a woman sitting to his left!
The woman was wearing a light yellow dress, her figure delicate, her face stunningly beautiful. Upon hearing these words, her eyes brimmed with smiles, her gaze hot as she looked towards a youth sitting opposite her.
That person… was from the Imperial Lin Family!
“I never expected that I, Dongya, would have such a day…”
She murmured to herself.With the arrival of the Era of Sacred Dao, the San Dou Mi Dao of the Era of Immortal Dao had crumbled, becoming a mere vassal of the Holy Dao Powers.
The Sect Master level figures from the San Dou Mi Dao of the Era of Immortal Dao could even be reduced to running errands in front of the Holy Dao Powers.
But… she hadn’t expected to soar to the skies in the Era of Sacred Dao, preserving her status as a Saintess!
“To have this day, I should really thank that waste Li Jiang…”
A smile lingered on the corners of her mouth.
It was a piece of dust-covered history; during the Era of Immortal Dao, she was the Saintess of San Dou Mi Dao, but she had discovered by accident that her talent was not the best.
In an unforeseen event, she found that Li Jiang, who was unremarkable within the Sect Gate, actually bore a natural Yin-Yang Dao Seal!
This indicated that Li Jiang was a once-in-an-eternity genius, an exceptional talent rarely seen through the ages.
Hence, even though she was the Saintess, she resorted to various schemes, set up tender traps, seduced Li Jiang, and made him willingly give her his Yin-Yang Dao Seal.
Having gained the Yin-Yang Dao Seal, she slightly manipulated the situation, and the Sect Gate condemned Li Jiang and his master to the Lower World.
That fool, he’s probably long dead in the Lower World by now, right? Maybe, he remained infatuated with her until his death…
What she didn’t expect was that after the arrival of the Era of Sacred Dao, the Dao Seal she obtained from Li Jiang became even more powerful, allowing her to stand out and become a Saintess!
At the same time, even Young Master Lin Jiutian of the Imperial Lin Family of Tiānshī Dào came to propose marriage!
She felt as if her life had been “hacked”—unbelievably fortunate!
She would ultimately enter the Imperial Lin Family to become a supremely glorious figure!
Thinking of this, her heart grew even more eager as she stood up, walked over, and gracefully served Lin Jiutian tea, saying:
“Young Master Jiu Tian, please.”
Her eyes glimmered like autumn waters.
The youth in brocade clothes smiled slightly and said, “Thank you, Miss Dongya.”
He reached out to take the tea, and in his palm was a natural Red Dao Talisman!
He was none other than the guest of the San Dou Mi Dao, and Dongya’s betrothed—Lin Jiutian!
Seeing this, Dongya’s heart stirred slightly, her slender hand gently caressing Lin Jiutian’s palm as she said softly:
“I am skilled with the flute, and I hope to perform for Young Master Lin tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiutian laughed even more heartily:
“Good!”
Seeing this scene, Huang Tian Daizhu, sitting at the head, was overjoyed!
The other Saints around him were also extremely happy.
With their attachment to the Imperial Lin Family, what would the San Dou Mi Dao in the Immortal Domain have to fear?
“Reporting to the Sect Master, there is a matter, a major matter!”
At that moment, an urgent voice suddenly rose from outside!
Soon after, an elder stepped into the hall, saying:
“Reporting to the Sect Master, there is great news!”
Huang Tian Daizhu, however, said impatiently:
“Can’t you see I am entertaining guests? Whatever it is, let’s talk about it later!”
But the elder insisted anxiously, “Sect Master, there is someone outside looking for Miss Dongya, and he’s brought with him a Kylin…”
“…What, a Kylin?!”
Huang Tian Daizhu was startled at this news!
The rest of the Saints were equally surprised.
“A Kylin? They have ceased to exist in this world!”
“The Imperial Kyrin lineage has long been extinct.”
“Linluo Plain has turned into a wasteland. We even sent experts from our sect on the orders of the Celestial Tribe; how could a Kylin appear in front of our Sect Gate?”
They spoke one after another, all incredulous!
“It’s absolutely true, Sect Master!”
The elder said:
“The person is named Lin Jiu Zheng, and the creature he has brought has the head of a dragon, body of an elk, tail of an ox, and hooves of a horse… it truly is a young Kylin!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback!
They would never believe it was just a young Kylin.
“`
However, the newcomer actually shared the surname Lin, with only a slight difference from Lin Jiutian?
“Young Master Jiu Tian, is this Lin Jiu Zheng a member of our clan?”
Huang Tian Daizhu asked with some caution!
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiutian frowned and said:
“There is no such person in the Lin Family!”
“However… he carries a Kylin with him? Perhaps we should go out and take a look!”
Everyone nodded in agreement!
Soon, they all walked out of the grand hall and headed directly to the Sect Gate.
As soon as they reached the Sect Gate, they saw Lin Jiu Zheng waiting there.
On Lin Jiu Zheng’s shoulder sat a little creature, brimming with spiritual energy.
Seeing this little creature, everyone instantly sucked in a breath of cold air!
“Heavens, is this… truly a Kylin?!”
“Such a presence… such a Dao charm, is it really a Divine Beast?”
“How is it possible…”
For a moment, they were all shocked.
It is known that Kylins have been extinct.
The Kirin Holy Emperor and the White Tiger Saint Sovereign both died in the disaster of light.
Yet, at this very moment, just by one glance, everyone had the same feeling.
This must be a purebred Kylin!
Only a Kylin would possess such an auspicious presence, such an extraordinary charm!
Huang Tian Daizhu’s pupils shrank as he stared intently at the Little Kirin and murmured, “A naturally divine object, the epitome of goodness and beauty!”
“It’s really a living Kylin… and moreover, the power of its bloodline is purer than the one our clan had in the past… it is very likely a pure-blooded Kylin!”
Lin Jiutian was also shocked to the core, finding it unbelievable!
The Lin Family had once adopted a Kylin but that Kylin had only a trace of ancestral blood within it. Even so, it had been regarded as a supreme Divine Beast in the clan. Indeed, because of that Kylin’s presence, many of the elderly members of the Lin Family were able to survive their ill-fated later years!
But afterwards, that Divine Beast had passed away.
The extinction of Kylins was a consensus in the world.
But now, one had appeared…
If they could obtain it, the entire Imperial Lin Family might be able to reshape an era of glory, and he himself could soar to the heavens… his eyes burned with fervor.
Saintess Dongya’s eyes were also filled to the brim with greed!
She immediately stepped forward, looked at Lin Jiu Zheng with a slight smile, and said:
“Young Master, are you looking for me?”
Lin Jiu Zheng, seeing the greed in everyone’s eyes, felt displeased, yet he still looked at the woman and said:
“Are you, Saintess Dongya?”
Dongya nodded and said:
“Indeed, I heard you have a gift for me… is it this Little Kylin?”
“You are so thoughtful, thank you so much. Come, let me have a look at it, I simply adore such little creatures.”
She walked forward confidently and joyfully!
She felt that Lin Jiu Zheng was likely another admirer of hers, and moreover, someone who wanted to present her with a gift, which surely must be this Kylin!
However, Lin Jiu Zheng took a step back and asked doubtfully:
“May I ask… are you the Saintess of the San Dou Mi Dao from the Era of Immortal Dao?”
He felt that her behavior did not quite match the description from his master, Li Jiang…
“It’s me.”
Dongya spoke up.
“Then, do you recognize someone named Li Jiang?”
Lin Jiu Zheng asked word by word, very solemnly!
Upon hearing this, Dongya’s face changed slightly!
Li Jiang!
Her expression immediately darkened and she said:
“That man was just a disgrace of the San Dou Mi Dao from the past. Why do you bring him up?”
Lin Jiu Zheng, hearing this, seemed to have a flash of sorrow in his eyes and said:
“Do you truly believe that he was a disgrace?”
“Yet, unto his death, he never forgot about you…”
He took out a jade pendant.
That was the keepsake Li Jiang had asked him to bring back to Dongya on his deathbed, a token of their pledged affection.
But upon seeing it, Dongya’s brows furrowed, she suddenly stepped forward, snatched the jade pendant, threw it on the ground, and stomped it into pieces!
She said coldly, “That disgrace Li Jiang, that despicable groveler who deserved to die! Failing to win me over, he thought to force himself upon me. During the Era of Immortal Dao, he was cast down to the Lower World!”
“Did he think he was worthy of reminiscing about me? Was he qualified?”
