As Jing Rujiu stared at Sheng Xiao’s face, she was shocked.
Damn!
This was the first time Jing Rujiu had encountered such an awkward situation.
Jing Rujiu quickly let go of Sheng Xiao’s chin. Then, she restrained herself and put on the demeanor of an elder.
She explained, “I was testing you just now. You were able to control yourself well in the face of beauty. You did well.” Jing Rujiu suppressed her embarassment and stood on her tiptoes. Then, she pretended to be relieved as she patted Sheng Xiao’s shoulder and marveled, “Huang’er is right. You’re indeed a loyal man.”
Sheng Xiao knew that Jing Rujiu said that on purpose to salvage her image as an elder.
Sheng Xiao was happy to give Jing Rujiu a way out. “So you were testing me just now.” Sheng Xiao said calmly, “You really frightened me just now.”
Both of them knew that the other party was lying, but they did not expose each other.
“Come in quickly.”
Jing Rujiu invited Sheng Xiao into the room.
Jing Rujiu was very vain and loved to collect beautiful high heels the most. Si Cheng and the others secretly mocked her for being a spider. After Sheng Xiao followed Jing Rujiu into the room and noticed all kinds of high heels in the glass shoe cabinet at the entrance, he asked Jing Rujiu sincerely, “Madam, do girls like high heels?”
However, he rarely saw Yu Huang in high heels.
Jing Rujiu guessed Sheng Xiao’s thoughts, so she smiled meaningfully and told him, “I don’t know what she likes, but she must like your precious intention of wanting to give her all the good things in the world.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao blushed. He no longer looked as domineering as he did when he returned from becoming a Divine Master during the day.
“You came in a hurry. I don’t know how to cook, so why don’t we sit down and talk?” Jing Rujiu seemed to be asking Sheng Xiao, but she was already walking towards the tea room.
“Of course.”
After Jing Rujiu went into the room to get the tea set, she invited Sheng Xiao to the courtyard and sat down opposite him.
Jing Rujiu was about to make tea when Sheng Xiao said, “Mother-in-law, let me do it.”
Jing Rujiu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Sheng Xiao sat up straight and poured two cups of tea. Then, he handed the first cup of tea to Jing Rujiu respectfully. “Mother-in-law, please have some tea.”
This was a toast tea that was too many years late.
As Jing Rujiu looked at the cup of tea sadly, she suddenly asked Sheng Xiao, “On the day of your marriage, did an elder marry Huang’er off?”
Upon hearing this, Jing Rujiu’s eyes turned red as she said, “I know Yin Donghai. Mingjue told me that he had a very close subordinate in his hometown. That subordinate was born a slave.”
“It’s him.”
Jing Rujiu laughed as she lamented, “In that case, everything is karma. Mingjue changed Yin Donghai’s life because of his benevolence and kindness. Yin Donghai cherished this kindness and brought joy to Yu Huang’s tragic childhood. I heard that in order not to make things difficult for Yu Huang and her mentor, Prime Emperor Ling Xiao, he even led the Yin Clan clansmen to sacrifice their lives to help the Yin Clan overcome the crisis.”
“This is true.” Sheng Xiao said, “Although Mr. Yin Donghai’s cultivation level was low, he had an admirable soul.”
“When we return to the Holy Spirit Continent in the future, bring me to pay my respects to him. He is my family’s benefactor, so logically speaking, I should pay my respects.”
“Of course. On the Holy Spirit Continent, Jiujiu and I would pay our respects to him on every Sacrifice Festival.”
“Okay.”
Jing Rujiu chatted with Sheng Xiao for a long time. When she saw that Sheng Xiao remembered everything that happened around Yu Huang clearly and remembered every promise Yu Huang had made, only then did she confirm that Sheng Xiao really loved Yu Huang.
“To be honest, when I first found out that Huang’er got married and pregnant at such a young age, as her mother, I was actually very worried. Now that I’ve seen you and heard about the hardships you’ve experienced together, I can tell that you treat Huang’er sincerely.”
“Sheng Xiao, in everyone’s eyes, you are the supreme Sky Dragon Divine Master. But to me, your first identity will always be my daughter’s husband. Not only do you have to be the hero of the world, but you also have to be Yu Huang’s hero. Sheng Xiao, you can’t let Huang’er down. If you dare to let her down, I won’t let you off regardless if you are a Divine Master.”
After Sheng Xiao refilled Jing Rujiu’s cup with tea again, he picked up his wine glass and lowered his head before he said piously and seriously, “Don’t worry, Mother-in-law. The nature is my witness to my love for Yu Huang. I won’t let her down.”
“Okay.”
“You’re about to set off, right?” Seeing that it was almost dawn, Jing Rujiu poured the remaining tea in the teapot and stood up. “You can set off. I won’t waste your time anymore.”
“Goodbye, Mother-in-law.”
After bidding farewell to Jing Rujiu, Sheng Xiao left the inner academy without alarming anyone. After he broke through to the Divine Master Realm, Sheng Xiao could come and go as he pleased in the desolate place.

The Cang Lang Continent was vast and had abundant resources. The sea scenary of the Myriad Kingdom Island was famous for its beautiful . Currently, the Myriad Kingdom Island had already become a famous tourist attraction of the Cang Lang Continent. However, ever since the God Slaying Training Camp was established on the Myriad Kingdom Island, the tourism industry of the Myriad Kingdom Island had been temporarily put on hold and became the most heavily guarded area on the continent.
Now, the group of Beast Tamers with the strongest cultivation levels on the continent were all gathered in the God Slaying Training Camp. They were racing against time to help the young geniuses in the training camp increase their cultivation levels.
The God Slaying Training Camp had been established for two years and there were only three years left until the final screening test five years later. Time was getting more and more tight, so the students cultivated even more diligently. In just two years, Donor, Feng Yuncheng, and the others seemed to have undergone a transformation.
If they were compared to a sword, then in the past, they were like swords hidden in scabbards that had yet to be fully sharpened. Now, every one of them had their outermost protective shell removed. After more than 600 days and nights of tempering, the blade had already become extremely sharp and could cut through iron like mud.
Three days ago, the cultivation levels of all the academies in the training camp were suppressed to the Supreme Master Realm and kicked into the dark strait of the Myriad Kingdom Island by the instructors. They had to rely on their will and weak spiritual power to resist the pressure attack brought to them by the 30,000 meters deep sea.
Such training could temper their willpower and spiritual power.
This was because to a powerful Beast Tamer, other than their powerful spiritual energy cultivation, perseverance and mental strength were also their weapons.
Students who could not survive these three days of hard training would be eliminated from the training camp.
Therefore, every student tried their best to hold on until the last moment.
