Chapter 1999: Chapter 2003: Mu, Yun, and Xi!
"Qin Tian."
In the quiet living room, Mu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and uttered the name she rarely mentioned in the Spiritual Domain.
Then.
The living room, which was originally quiet, became even quieter!
"What did you say? Who did you say it was?"
Jin Lin and Jin Yunzhong were still in a daze, while Mu Jing’an was the first to ask.
He had never heard Yunxi mention this name, but upon hearing it, Mu Jing’an froze in shock!
"Yunxi, the person you want to confirm in the Tianyuan Dynasty, wouldn’t be... the King Qin, Qin Tian?"
Qin Tian’s name was already well-known in the Spiritual Domain, something Mu Jing’an was aware of long ago.
Seeing Yunxi nod, his whole body suddenly stiffened!
His daughter was seeking the renowned Qin Tian? How could Qin Tian be the one she loves? Absolutely impossible!
He had heard Qin Tian was a descendant of Long Jun, a noble figure!
"Don’t be silly, my child, Qin Tian is the descendant of Long Jun, still respected and revered by countless people despite his rebellion. You won’t be able to meet him. He can’t possibly be the Earthling Qin Tian you mentioned."
Mu Jing’an smiled bitterly.
"Regardless of whether it’s him, I need to confirm it to be at peace." Yunxi’s tone was firm.
She remained as stubborn as ever.
"But you truly can’t meet him. He’s in West Capital, the head of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, you have no chance..."
Mu Jing’an shook his head, thinking his daughter was being unrealistic.
"Perhaps there’s a way."
And just at this moment, Jin Lin spoke up.
He spoke, and Jin Yunzhong was taken aback, understanding what Jin Lin intended.
Upon hearing Jin Lin’s words, Mu Yunxi and Mu Jing’an both turned to Jin Lin.
Jin Lin said, "I can bring you to see Qin Tian. If your affections are toward this King Qin, Qin Tian, I, Jin Lin, will humbly concede, annul the engagement, and bless you."
Jin Lin’s sudden change in attitude left Yunxi and Mu Jing’an surprised.
Jin Lin said, "To be honest, Qin Tian is currently in my house. Sister Yunxi, follow me."
Jin Lin motioned for Yunxi to join him outside.
"How can this be... King Qin in the Demon Clan? Haha, Jin Lin, stop joking." Mu Jing’an was utterly incredulous.
Yunxi also remained seated, curiously watching Jin Lin.
"You don’t believe me?" Jin Lin said.
"Fine, I will invite King Qin over."
As he spoke, he prepared to walk out the door.
However, at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Qin Tian walked in!
"Yunxi!"
Standing at the door, Qin Tian gazed at Mu Yunxi, his voice faltering!
After over ten years, Yunxi hadn’t changed, remaining as aloof and beautiful as ever!
Following cultivation in the Domain, his aura had become even more enchanting than before.
In the room, Jin Lin and the other two, upon seeing Qin Tian enter, were dumbfounded.
Was this King Qin really the Qin Tian Yunxi sought?
How could this be!
The difference in their identities was vast!
Under the gaze of the three astonished individuals, Qin Tian slowly walked toward Yunxi.
Upon seeing Qin Tian, Yunxi also slowly stood up.
Her dark eyes fixed on Qin Tian, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then, tears streamed down.
"Is it really you?"
She cried out in excitement.
"It’s me. Yunxi, I never expected to find you here..."
Looking at Yunxi, Qin Tian took a deep breath as if in a dream, walked over, and embraced Yunxi.
However, as he extended his hand, Yunxi raised hers—
Slap!
She slapped Qin Tian!
The slap wasn’t powerful but shocked Mu Jing’an!
"Yunxi, what are you doing! You—you’re even hitting King Qin, you..."
Mu Jing’an didn’t finish, yet saw Qin Tian gripping Yunxi’s hand, placing it gently against his cheek.
This scene left them stunned.
"After all these years, are you well?" Qin Tian asked Yunxi.
"Everything is fine, just... not happy." Yunxi replied, tears flowing.
She looked at Qin Tian and said, "You’ve come to the Spiritual Domain, why didn’t you come to find me?"
"I searched, yet found no trace of you. I came to the Spiritual Domain, searched in the East Capital and Imperial City of Tianyuan Dynasty..."
Before Qin Tian finished, Yunxi rushed into his arms, crying.
This scene made Jin Yunzhong and the others feel awkward. The three exchanged glances and left the living room, closing the door to let the long-separated Qin Tian and Yunxi share their emotions.
They came to the lounge, Mu Jing’an asked Jin Lin, "Jin Lin, how did you invite King Qin Tian to the Demon Clan? I never expected he would be the one my daughter is searching for..."
"I originally intended to discuss serious matters with King Qin."
Jin Lin, now at ease, laughed, "Unexpectedly, I facilitated a match. Since Sister Yunxi loves King Qin, and he seems fond of her as well, I have no issue with it. I was never keen on this engagement either. Now, let’s annul it, I’m the first to support it, whether your family or ours initiates it, I don’t mind."
Jin Yunzhong said, "This matter can’t be leaked out. If people learn that King Qin of the Human Clan came to the Demon Clan, especially to Demon Spirit City, the Demon City might cause trouble."
Mu Jing’an said, "Indeed, the Demon City has long been displeased with our two cities. If they find an excuse, they surely won’t let us off easily."
"That’s precisely it," Jin Lin said, "Mu Uncle, we are preparing to withdraw troops from the Demon Clan. At that time, if the Demon City targets us, please stand up for us."
"That’s certain."
Mu Jing’an didn’t hesitate: "Our two cities are allies, I will surely speak on your behalf. However, I don’t understand, you initially wanted to participate in the campaign against the West State, why are you withdrawing now? It hasn’t been long!"
"That’s why King Qin visited us today."
Jin Yunzhong said, "Old Jin, we’ve confirmed that King Qin, Qin Tian, is the sole son Long Jun left behind, and also the son of the Daughter of Demon God."
"Daughter of Demon God..."
Mu Jing’an’s expression changed, "So, upon learning his identity, what do you plan? Oh, I remember, Long Jun had kindness toward Demon Spirit City, you’re withdrawing to repay that kindness?"
Jin Yunzhong and Jin Lin exchanged glances, "Not just for repayment, but also for cooperation."
"Old Mu, you’re aware that the power of the Demon City is gradually growing, many cities that once objected have been suppressed by them, their autocratic behavior might soon target us. Hence, my plan is to aid West State in overcoming the crisis, later forming an alliance with West State."
