Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 420 - 117: The Rebellious Princess

"Se... Senior?" The little maid girl looked nervously at Lin Jing, not understanding why Lin Jing stepped on the formation rune she was about to draw.

"Look around you," Lin Jing simply reminded her, and the little maid girl looked and was suddenly shocked to find that both the steward who had been reprimanding her and the other disciples doing chores around were all frozen in place.

Of course, they were not really frozen; Lin Jing had used an Illusion Technique to isolate himself and the little maid girl from outside interference.

"Do you know who your parents are?" Lin Jing asked simply, and the little maid girl was stunned, realizing that she was facing a formidable figure and did not dare to neglect him.

She also knelt down with a slap, not daring to look directly at Lin Jing’s face.

"My mother was an outer disciple of the Xuanmiao Sect."

"As for my father... I’ve never seen him since I was a child, only heard others say that he was a Loose Cultivator my mother met while traveling..."

Loose Cultivator... Lin Jing frowned.

"Is your mother still alive?"

"My mother passed away during childbirth," the little girl said, lowering her head.

Lin Jing looked towards the direction of the Ancient Domain, roughly understanding that this Loose Cultivator was likely some prince of the Ancient Race.

This prince had a fleeting romantic encounter with the Xuanmiao Sect disciple.

After having his fun, the prince left without a second thought, not knowing that the Xuanmiao Sect female disciple became pregnant.

This kind of plot, Lin Jing had often seen on TV dramas.

Most likely, the Xuanmiao Sect female disciple didn’t know the prince’s real identity either.

"I wonder which prince it was, really damnable, being a prince and having so many women to choose from, yet he chooses to harm such an underprivileged Female Cultivator." Lin Jing fell into contemplation, looking at the little girl who still did not dare to lift her head.

The little girl was quite exquisite-looking, her mother was probably a beauty too.

Might even have a special constitution...

Her birth mother had already passed away, which made things troublesome; she was around ten years old, and Lin Jing suddenly felt it inappropriate to just take her away.

After all, at this age, she lacked parental love. Her ten years as an orphaned servant had been miserable enough, and if he took her away to teach her the "Human Control Demon Technique" and handed her over to Elder Mo Song for training, would he still be human?

If she truly had no other relatives, it wouldn’t be a burden on him, but Lin Jing believed that, given the First Ancient Emperor’s nature, he would definitely acknowledge this descendant and provide compensation. She might have better options.

"Enough, enough." Lin Jing sighed, thinking it over, he decided to send her to her relatives. There were plenty of people to pass down the "Human Control Demon Technique" to, no need to ruin the life of such a little girl.

"What’s your name?"

"Yu Xun’Er," the little maid girl replied.

Yu Xun’Er... Yu, perhaps her mother’s surname. As for the father’s surname... Lin Jing’s expression became odd. He had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if someone he knew in a past life had this name.

"Do you want to return to your biological father, to your other relatives?" Lin Jing asked.

"I can take you to them."

Just as Lin Jing was feeling like a good person, the previously timid and nervous little maid girl suddenly widened her eyes, her voice suddenly louder, "No way!"

"I don’t want to."

"I can live on my own. If he really cared about my mother and me, he wouldn’t have abandoned us."

Uh... Lin Jing looked at her in surprise; there was bitterness in her heart.

However, if it were anyone else, they would probably harbor resentment as well.

The prince and the Xuanmiao Sect Female Cultivator probably didn’t separate because of any accident. If the prince truly loved the Female Cultivator, it wouldn’t have been difficult to bring her back to the Ancient Domain.

Yet, leaving without a trace.

Surely, it was another irresponsible prince toying with hearts outside.

"Are you sure?" Lin Jing looked at her impassively and said, "What if your biological father holds a position higher than you imagined? Returning to him, you wouldn’t have to live so hard."

"Even so, I don’t want to... Someday, I want to cultivate to become a powerful Cultivator, to confront him in person and ask why he abandoned us!"

"But even the Divinity Transformation Sect Leader of the Xuanmiao Sect wouldn’t count as much before your father," Lin Jing said.

Yu Xun’Er was taken aback, never having considered that her biological father might be such a significant figure.

But soon, she became even more angry. If he really was such a figure, he should never have let their mother and her fall to such a plight.

"No matter who he is!" she spoke with resolute defiance.

"What if the person is One of the Princes of the Ancient Race, currently ranked first on the Fortune Gold List, the Crown Prince of the Ancient Race?" Lin Jing asked.

The little maid girl was stunned.

"My father is..."

"That’s not the case, just using it as an example." Lin Jing picked his ear, thinking that in his impression, the Prince Gu should not be so unreliable; it’s probably another prince.

The first few children of the Second Ancient Emperor were fairly outstanding; it’s said that the latter ones were somewhat less so, probably because their luck ran out after the first few.

"Prince Gu..."

"Even if it’s not Prince Gu, even if my biological father is the Demon Court Saint Child, I would never forgive him!" Yu Xun’Er tightly clenched her fists, her demeanor entirely different from before.

"... You even know the Demon Court Saint Child?" Lin Jing was surprised.

That’s good, at least in her eyes, the Demon Court Saint Child was far more formidable than the Prince Gu.

"So, even if you have the royal bloodline of the Ancient Country flowing through you, you wouldn’t agree to let me take you back?" Lin Jing asked.

"No need, thank you, Senior. I am living well in the Xuanmiao Sect; this place is my home." Yu Xun’Er looked up at Lin Jing, her stance firm.

Lin Jing shook his head and said, "In the Xuanmiao Sect, you won’t be able to cultivate to the level you desire. I’ll give you three choices: First, continue staying here; second, let me take you back to your relatives; third, come with me for training—pick one."

"By the way, I’m not lying to you. Your true bloodline is that of the Ancient Country’s royal family; you are the descendant of a prince lost outside..."

"If you want to confront him, it might not be easy..."

Yu Xun’Er was completely stunned. Wait, she really is... a member of the Ancient Race’s royal bloodline?

"Consider it carefully. Even if you are an illegitimate child, by returning there, you can still become a revered person, so much so that the current Sect Leader of the Xuanmiao Sect would have to show you deference."

"And you, Senior, are..." Yu Xun’Er began to suspect Lin Jing’s identity. Seeing that Lin Jing was willing to take her back to the Ancient Race, Lin Jing should be someone from the Ancient Country, or even someone beside her biological father. But beyond that, Lin Jing intended to personally take her for training, which left Yu Xun’Er unable to fathom Lin Jing’s intention.

"Me? I am the Demon Court Saint Child you mentioned." Lin Jing looked at her with an enigmatic gaze. If she didn’t want to return to the Ancient Race, he would keep her by his side for now and let the old First Emperor deal with her eventually...

Meanwhile, Yu Xun’Er was stunned. Who would have thought that this was the person before her, someone even more legendary than the Prince Gu, a prodigy who had turned the Celestial Essence Continent upside down in less than a century of cultivation, a figure that not even the emergence of an Immortal Body could balance...

He probably wasn’t one of the Ancient Country Cultivators anymore... Finding herself, an estranged member of the royal bloodline, was for... Even though she was only ten years old, having grown up in a place like the servants’ courtyard, Yu Xun’Er was no longer an ignorant little girl. From a young age, she had absorbed various knowledge in preparation for future ascension to the outer sect for cultivation.

The Demon Court Saint Child... Could he intend to support and cultivate her as the Ancient Race’s bloodline, then manipulate her like a puppet to control or even overthrow the Ancient Country?!
