Chapter 244: Being His Woman Only Has Benefits, No Drawbacks!

Seeing Mingyue Yao's expression, Mingyue Jin couldn't help but smile.

She knew what her older brother was thinking.

Only they knew Li Xuanfeng's true strength, which was second only to the Devil King.

Nearly half a year had passed; perhaps he could already rival the Devil King.

Only a few people knew about the battle between Li Xuanfeng and Mingyue Yao, and they wouldn't leak it.

Therefore, the Holy City could not accurately gauge Li Xuanfeng's strength.

However, based on intelligence, they could deduce that he possessed the combat power to be in the top ten of the King Realm Rankings.

To better provide Li Xuanfeng with an accurate ranking, the Holy City played a little trick, placing him eighth and replacing the former eighth-ranked—the Heaven-Opening King.

Just hearing the title, one knew that the original eighth-ranked was an arrogant and conceited figure.

The Heaven-Opening King's ranking had been earned through fight after fight.

He would always challenge King Realm Cultivators ranked one or two spots higher than himself, then defeat them to take their place.

This person was indeed quite arrogant; even before entering the top ten of the King Realm Rankings, he had boasted that he would defeat all the experts in the top ten and reach the number one spot.

However, after accidentally witnessing the Devil King in action once, the Heaven-Opening King was greatly shocked and changed his goal to defeating all top ten experts in the King Realm Rankings, except for the Devil King.

Through fight after fight, he climbed all the way from outside the top fifty, successfully ascending to eighth in the King Realm Rankings over a century.

Now that the Holy City had suddenly ranked the Peerless King eighth, replacing his position, he naturally wouldn't let the matter rest given his personality.

He wouldn't dare to question the Holy City about the ranking, but he would definitely find Li Xuanfeng to challenge him.

When that time came, Li Xuanfeng's strength would naturally be tested through the hands of the Heaven-Opening King.

Although the Holy City's ranking for Li Xuanfeng was suspected of being intentional, it had indeed undergone careful consideration, as they believed his strength should be on par with the Heaven-Opening King.

Considering he possessed an Imperial Dao weapon, even if he couldn't fully activate it, its material alone could unleash some power, so they believed Li Xuanfeng should be slightly stronger than the Heaven-Opening King, ultimately giving him this ranking.

"Given the Heaven-Opening King's temperament, he would surely be clamoring to challenge the Peerless King upon hearing this news, but there has been no movement until now; it seems highly likely he is in seclusion," Mingyue Jin said.

"Even without the Heaven-Opening King, there will surely be others who want to test his standard," Mingyue Yao laughed.

He was very much looking forward to other King Realm Ranking experts challenging Li Xuanfeng.

The scene of being crushed by Li Xuanfeng half a year ago felt like yesterday.

Fortunately, he had only lost face in front of his own Family at the time, so he didn't lose face in front of outsiders for being beaten to a pulp by a Middle Stage King Realm Cultivator.

But he couldn't be the only one to take that beating!

Mingyue Yao really wanted to see the scene of others being beaten to a pulp.

The Devil King alone had already suppressed a crowd of King Realm Ranking experts, becoming a psychological shadow for many King Realm Cultivators.

Now that another monster, even more terrifying than the Devil King, had appeared, the expressions of everyone would surely be very interesting if they learned of Li Xuanfeng's true strength.

He even really wanted to see the Devil King clash with Li Xuanfeng to see just how strong Li Xuanfeng was.

If they were in the same Realm, Mingyue Yao was certain that the Devil King would not be Li Xuanfeng's match.

"Half a year has passed, and I wonder if he has made a Breakthrough to the Late Stage King Realm," Mingyue Yao said.

He felt that Li Xuanfeng at the Middle Stage King Realm was a notch below the Devil King, but if he made a Breakthrough to the Late Stage King Realm, he would certainly be able to rival him, or even hold a slight advantage.

If he made a Breakthrough to the Peak King Realm, he would definitely be able to crush the Devil King!

Although Li Xuanfeng was a Prodigy, he felt the possibility of making a Breakthrough to the Peak King Realm in half a year was unlikely.

Even regarding a Breakthrough to the Late Stage King Realm, he actually wasn't very certain in his heart.

"Older Brother, you've already taken a beating from him, so why are you still not confident in his talent?"

"Be bold; he has definitely made a Breakthrough to the Late Stage King Realm!" Mingyue Jin smiled and took a sip of spiritual tea.

"His talent defies reason; it is indeed very possible that he has made a Breakthrough to the Late Stage King Realm.

However, I wonder if Qing'er and Xue'er will have their cultivation hindered by following him," Mingyue Yao put down his teacup and sighed softly.

He did indeed acknowledge Li Xuanfeng's talent and strength, and since his two daughters liked Li Xuanfeng, he couldn't bear to stop them for the sake of their happiness.

But that didn't mean he had no worries in his heart.

Li Xuanfeng being a Prodigy was his own business; things like talent could not be transferred.

As the Mingyue Family's twin Prodigies, his two daughters' future achievements might not be as great as Li Xuanfeng's, but they would certainly not be bad.

If they just focused on playing around while following Li Xuanfeng and wasted their time, slacking off in their cultivation, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

Over the past half year, he had wondered from time to time if his decision back then had been too impulsive and rash.

"I don't think you need to worry about such things, Older Brother.

The Peerless King leaves no room for mercy toward his enemies, but he is very generous to his own women, and quite lavish with his spending."

"He shouldn't just focus on his own improvement; he will certainly urge Qing'er and Xue'er to cultivate."

"Being his woman only has benefits, no drawbacks!" Mingyue Jin laughed.

"You know him very well?" Mingyue Yao looked at his younger sister suspiciously.

"Ahem, I just accidentally saw some intelligence about him from when he was in the Great Yan Dynasty," Mingyue Jin coughed lightly, as if she had been choked by her tea.

"Accidentally? By mistake? I haven't been able to reach you via the communication stone for months; you didn't specifically run off to the Land of a Hundred Dynasties to investigate him, did you?" Mingyue Yao narrowed his eyes.

"No!"

"It's mainly because Qing'er and Xue'er told me some things about him before, saying he was quite generous, and the resources he gave were even more than what the Family regularly allocated to them!" Mingyue Jin explained.

"Is that so?" Mingyue Yao looked at her deeply.

He hoped he wasn't overthinking it; after all, Li Xuanfeng was the man of his two daughters.

"Um… if there's nothing else, I'll go back to seclusion first," Mingyue Jin felt the atmosphere was a bit unnatural.

Mingyue Yao nodded expressionlessly.

Seclusion? What seclusion?

The Artifact Refining Grand Competition of the Myriad Artifact Sect was clearly about to begin!

However, just as Mingyue Jin was about to leave, she suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching in the Void Realm.

Mingyue Yao and Mingyue Jin both narrowed their eyes simultaneously, gazing outside the City Lord's Mansion.

They saw the space there rippling faintly, and four figures—one man and three women—appeared.

"Peerless King?" Mingyue Jin's eyes lit up.

"Qing'er and Xue'er are back!" Mingyue Yao couldn't help but smile.

"Peerless King, have you made a Breakthrough?" Mingyue Jin's surprised telepathic message rang out immediately.

"Yes." Li Xuanfeng nodded, then took a step forward, bringing the three women directly into the City Lord's Mansion.

"You are… Peak King Realm?!" When he sensed the aura fluctuations that Li Xuanfeng hadn't hidden, Mingyue Yao's heart was shaken.

A trace of shock first flashed in his eyes, then it became somewhat excited.

Half a year, Peak King Realm!

He hadn't been absolutely certain about whether Li Xuanfeng could make a Breakthrough to the Late Stage King Realm, only feeling that the probability was high.

He didn't expect Li Xuanfeng to have directly made a Breakthrough to the Peak King Realm!

A journey that takes others hundreds, or even thousands of years, he finished in half a year?

Doesn't that mean that Li Xuanfeng now possesses the strength to crush the Devil King?

Good, good, good!

Mingyue Yao became suddenly excited, and in his heart, he had already begun to mourn for the Heaven-Opening King.
