Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

"This mission, our Heavenly Demon Sect must succeed!"

...

Lin Yi made his way towards Qingzhou City, and after a day's journey, he finally arrived at its outskirts.

Qingzhou City, the capital of Qingyun Country, was a colossal city filled with a vast population and dense with martial experts.

Although Lin Yi was powerful, entering the Qingyun Imperial Palace would probably take some time.

So, Lin Yi decided to stay outside Qingzhou City for the time being, planning to find an inn to lodge in for a while.

Wandering around Qingzhou City, Lin Yi found it to be bustling and lively, with a constant flow of people. It was extremely lively.

After having lunch in a little tavern, Lin Yi stepped out of the establishment, ready to continue strolling through the streets when he suddenly sensed a powerful presence following him. He raised an eyebrow, lightly tapped his toes on a nearby large tree, and leaped up, soaring toward the direction from where the presence was emanating.

Soon, Lin Yi arrived at the riverside.

There, drifting in the river, was a beautifully painted pleasure boat. On the boat, a ravishing woman in a black gauzy dress was standing at the edge, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon, her face marked with worry and concern.

She was none other than the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Murong Xue'er.

Seeing Murong Xue'er on the riverbank, Lin Yi's brows knit together slightly; he tapped his foot lightly again, descending directly next to her.

Lin Yi stood behind Murong Xue'er, watching her silhouette intently and said, "Murong Xue'er, I didn't expect to find you here too this time!"

"Hm?"

Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Murong Xue'er's body jerked in shock, and she turned around, her face a bit pale.

Seeing Murong Xue'er, a mischievous smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips as he gazed at her, asking casually, "Murong Xue'er, it's quite a fate that we've met again. A destined encounter across thousands of miles, indeed."

"Hmph, a destined encounter across thousands of miles?"

A surge of anger rose in Murong Xue'er's heart, her eyes narrowing as she spoke through gritted teeth, "This time, I was lucky to escape; otherwise, I would have surely died by your sword!"

Hearing her words, Lin Yi laughed heartily, "Then you should be grateful to me! If it weren't for me, you might have long since been dead!"

Murong Xue'er, upon hearing Lin Yi's words, revealed a bitter smile, "Lin Yi, it seems you also do not wish to stay in Qingyun Country anymore, right?"

Lin Yi didn't confirm or deny, but simply smiled slightly, responding with a question, "What do you think?"

Seeing Lin Yi's attitude, Murong Xue'er's face also showed a bittersweet smile, "Since you do not wish to stay in Qingyun Country, I will not force you. We shall meet again in the future!"

Lin Yi nodded slightly, "We shall meet again!"

As his words fell, Lin Yi turned to leave.

"Wait, let me accompany you for a part of your journey."

Murong Xue'er suddenly spoke up.

"Hm?"

Lin Yi halted, puzzled, and turned around, his gaze resting on Murong Xue'er.

"I have a favor to ask you, I want you to help me with something," Murong Xue'er's eyes shone with determination.

Lin Yi's brow furrowed, asking with curiosity, "You don't hate me, so why do you want to help me? Could it be that you've really fallen for me?"

"Pah! How could I possibly fall for a villain like you? Don't be so full of yourself!" Murong Xue'er glared fiercely at Lin Yi, her pretty face blushing as she scolded.

"Then why do you want to help me?"

Lin Yi asked, puzzled.

"Because I need to find something, but with my Cultivation not yet restored, I simply cannot brave the Qingyun Imperial Palace alone. Hence, I must ask you to help me," Murong Xue'er explained, her head lowered and her voice soft.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Yi asked.

"I'd like you to help me look for information about my mother. I believe you can help me."

Murong Xue'er looked up, her gaze intense as she stared at Lin Yi.

"Your mother? What's her name?"

Lin Yi inquired.

Murong Xue'er shook her head, "I can't say that, but I believe you can help me find her."

Hearing Murong Xue'er's words, Lin Yi pondered for a moment before answering, "Alright, then let's head to Qingyun Imperial Capital's palace now!"

"Mhm."

Murong Xue'er responded with a nod and began to walk ahead.

Lin Yi watched Murong Xue'er's graceful figure, a flicker in his eyes before he followed her pace.

The two walked for a while until they reached a desolate wilderness, eerily silent all around.

"Do you know where the Qingyun Imperial Capital's palace is?"

Lin Yi asked Murong Xue'er.

"How would I know that? It's thousands of miles away from here to the Qingyun Imperial Capital's palace. We've been walking all morning and haven't seen a single person,"

Murong Xue'er replied, shaking her head.

Lin Yi frowned, thinking to himself: "Could it be that this is where Murong Xue'er's father's mansion is located, and we've come to the wrong place?"

"Lin Yi, no matter what you're thinking, I need you to take me there now!"

Murong Xue'er suddenly turned back to face Lin Yi.

"Oh, alright."

Lin Yi nodded, took Murong Xue'er by the shoulders, and soared into the sky, heading towards the direction of the Qingyun Imperial Capital.

The Qingyun Imperial Capital is the largest capital in the Central Region on this continent and also the biggest power. The Royal House of the Qingyun Imperial Capital controls ninety-nine percent of the continent's wealth, power, and status.

And the Qingyun Imperial Palace is right at the heart of the Qingyun Imperial Capital, towering tens of thousands of feet into the sky, resplendent and majestic.

This imposing and magnificent Golden Throne Hall is indeed the Qingyun Imperial Palace.

Lin Yi held Murong Xue'er as they hovered above the palace, overlooking the glittering structure.

This majestic and spectacular palace was the most grandiose and magnificent building Lin Yi had ever seen, its grounds spanning over two thousand kilometers.

The buildings within the palace were each exceedingly opulent and luxurious.

The palace was heavily guarded by a ring of troops, each guard displaying formidable Cultivation, at least at the Eighth Layer of the Divine Condensation Realm, and even a couple at the Ninth Level patrolling around.

Furthermore, inside the palace were many high-ranking Samurai, these elite warriors all of Martial King Rank with remarkable Combat Power.

"The Emperor of the Qingyun Empire resides within the palace, all within his expected control,"

Lin Yi reflected, surveying the palace grounds.

Then, Lin Yi shifted his gaze to the very center of the palace.

At the heart of the Qingyun Imperial Palace lay a massive plaza, above which stood an enormous dragon-shaped statue.

That was the Emperor of the Qing Yun Country, who boasts a Cultivation at the Peak of the Martial Sovereign Realm. In Qing Yun Country, he is considered a formidable power.

Within the Qingyun Empire, the status of the Imperial Family far exceeds that of the ordinary noble families, the lowest-ranking households among them towering far above the common houses.

This is the adulation of the powerful.

Moreover, the Qingyun Empire had a rule: all descendants of the Royal House must train within the palace, live there, and cannot leave the palace. Otherwise, they would face punishment.
