After a brief exchange, Ye He left. The door closed again, leaving only the four Divine Flower Emperors inside.

Iceberg Empress burst into laughter. "Qiyuann Sovereign, I've never admired anyone in my life, but that changes today! I admire you!"

Demanding Jasmine to confess to him?! Not even she could rival the audacity Qi Yuan showed when talking to Jasmine. In fact, she wouldn’t even dare breathe too loudly before that woman.

Rogue Immortal immediately chimed in. "Qiyuann Sovereign, you are too good. I surrender!"

Great Sun Flame Emperor, however, seemed serious. He repeated Ye He's warning, "Qiyuann Sovereign, you must be careful. Great Venerable Jasmine is not simple."

Qi Yuan said thoughtfully, "If even Violet Palaces knows she's not simple, then she must be extraordinary."

If another Great Venerable had secretly warned him about Jasmine, that would be normal. After all, Great Venerables were smart. However, if even someone from the Violet Palace realm echoed the same thing, it made things more interesting.

Great Sun Flame Emperor emphasized, "You must be careful."

He had learned from his grandfather that Qi Yuan had devoured the Heavenly Dao of Moonwatch Continent, allowing him to wield Great Venerable-level strength. Regardless, they were in the Canglan World. At most, he could exert power equivalent to Step Four to Heaven, which was the lowest step among Great Venerables. Even with a Star Golden Core, Canglan’s peculiar nature kept its power from fully manifesting as combat strength.

Hence, in Great Sun Flame Emperor's view, Qi Yuan was still slightly weaker than Jasmine. Granted, the situation would be reversed if they were in the Moonwatch Continent.

Qi Yuan said lazily, "Relax, Great Venerable Jasmine truly likes me. How could she bear to attack me? If she did, I'd cut open her chest and ask her heart why it treated me this way."

"She really likes you?" Iceberg Empress asked blankly.

"Of course," Qi Yuan answered in a relaxed manner.

Of course, the way his nose kept growing whenever he spoke to Jasmine proved otherwise. It only proved that beautiful women were liars. Nevertheless, she probably did like him—just not in the conventional sense. Someone like Jasmine probably liked quite a lot of people.

"She just lusts after my body," Qi Yuan said in annoyance. "She sexually harassed me!"

"Huh?"

"What?"

The others were baffled. Jasmine hadn't even touched him. How was that sexual harassment?

"Unless... Did you two do something right in front of us earlier?" Rogue Immortal speculated. "Maybe it was so fast we thought you were standing still?"

Qi Yuan protested, "Hey, don't slander me, I'm not fast at all. Who says sexual harassment requires touching? She did it in her mind!"

While speaking with Jasmine, Qi Yuan had occasionally overheard her inner thoughts. They were quite indecent. If he had a system, it would have been constantly prompting him.

[Lust +1]

[Lust +1]

In fact, that was precisely why Qi Yuan acted with such boldness.

"She sexually harassed you... in her mind?" Iceberg Empress couldn't hold back anymore. "That counts?"

Qi Yuan seemed deeply regretful. "Of course it counts! I lost out big time. I should've caught her red-handed back then. If I had, her Mythic Secret Treasury would've been mine."

He'd missed the perfect opportunity. Too bad this world didn't have short video platforms, or he would’ve exposed Jasmine online as a shameless woman.

Great Sun Flame Emperor finally said, "Qiyuann Sovereign, many powerful figures in the Phoenix Heaven are plotting for that Mythic Secret Treasury. After all, it's the legacy of a Mythic-level expert."

Moreover, one that had reached the Seventh Step to Heaven, the peak of the Yin Spirit realm. The man was just one step away from becoming a Yang Spirit. Naturally, such an inheritance also attracted countless Yin Spirits from Phoenix Heaven and the Demon Domain. Everyone wanted the chance to break through to the Seventh Step. As a result, Jasmine had no shortage of pursuers.

Iceberg Empress grinned. "Didn't Great Venerable Wujun pursue Jasmine before? After how you treated her today, he might challenge you."

Qi Yuan scoffed. "They're all old Great Venerables already. How are they still acting like street punks, fighting over women?"

"Not over a woman, but over the Mythic Secret Treasury and the chance to become a Mythic," she replied.

Great Sun Flame Emperor nodded. "In the past several thousand years, five Yin Spirits across the three regions have died because of this Mythic Secret Treasury. Three of them were from the Eastern Lands."

Rumor had it that all those deaths were connected to Jasmine. Of course, that did nothing to reduce her endless stream of pursuers. Everyone was prepared to pay the price.

"Wow. So, many hopeless romantics from the Eastern Lands coming to Phoenix Heaven just to throw away their lives?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise.

No wonder the Eastern Lands had so few Yin Spirits left. Most of them had died here. Well, to be fair, some had also died at his own hands.

"You know, should I team up with those guys and rob Jasmine of the Mythic Secret Treasury?" Qi Yuan mused, then shook his head. "But she only sexually harassed me. That's not a capital offense. Haa... Being morally righteous is harder than I thought."

Against the Bright Palace, he could easily seize the moral high ground and list their countless sins. The same tactic wouldn't work with Jasmine. More importantly, Qi Yuan believed he was a law-abiding, upright person. Randomly killing innocent people wasn't his style.

Great Sun Flame Emperor added, "The Mythic Secret Treasury can’t be opened if she dies, anyway."

Qi Yuan sighed again. "Jasmine, my White Moonlight. Since you love me so much, and the feeling is basically mutual, what's wrong with giving the Mythic Secret Treasury to me?"

There were surely many cultivation techniques inside that treasury...

Great Sun Flame Emperor said, "Qiyuann Sovereign, I have an idea. We could establish a faction—one dedicated to collecting cultivation techniques for you."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow. "But I'm very poor. I can't afford to buy techniques."

Gathering techniques required enormous manpower, resources, and money. Even the Heavenly Ascension Pavilion could only collect so many techniques because the Ling Tian Pavilion funded it.

"That's easy," Great Sun Flame Emperor replied calmly. "We won't pay to collect them. We'll share them."
