Starting With Chaos Physique

Chapter 18 The Princess Wants to See Him, Kneeling Outside the Mountain Gate

Destroying the country?

These three words not only made Chu Yaoyue’s face turn pale, but also caused the chattering little maid beside her to be shocked. Her expression became filled with fear, as if she couldn’t believe it.

There was a time when these three words felt so distant to them. But now, they were right before their eyes, a bloody and grim reality.

The Jingyang Dynasty had been established over two hundred thousand years ago. Its first emperor was a very famous figure, one whose stories had left numerous legends beneath the stars. The most well-known was how he imprisoned the dragon veins of the eight directions, summoned the stars of the four seas, and used the Jingyang Dragon Qi to forge the position of Emperor of Humanity, creating a near-supreme martial technique: the Royal Dragon Extremes Sutra.

However, as descendants of the royal family, they not only failed to expand the Jingyang Dynasty, but had instead let it decline from its former glory. Now, it was being pushed to the brink of destruction by the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom, a kingdom established less than fifty thousand years ago.

It could be called tragic.

“Is there still a way?” Chu Yaoyue’s face twisted with bitterness. She felt regret surge within her heart. “Father entrusted me with the last hope, but I ruined it in a moment of impulsiveness.”

Her thoughts swirled with remorse.

“Princess, there is still hope,” the little maid urgently said, as though seeing a life-saving straw. “As long as we gain the support of the Gu Family, we need not fear even the Chi Li Ancient Kingdom. Even if more forces come, we won’t be afraid.”

Gu Family!

At this moment, the only force capable of saving the Jingyang Dynasty was the Gu Family.

In the Nansheng Dao Realm, no force dared to oppose the Gu Family. It was akin to courting death to do so.

“But…” Chu Yaoyue gritted her teeth, still hesitating. She couldn’t let go of her pride, especially after being rejected by Gu Changsheng and hearing him say she was inferior to the other two. She still held a grudge.

“Perhaps… this is a test from that Divine Son for you, Princess?” The little maid, noticing her hesitation, suggested. She didn’t want to see the Jingyang Dynasty destroyed, and she knew that the only hope now lay with Chu Yaoyue.

Hearing this, Chu Yaoyue suddenly found some sense in the idea.

Maybe this was indeed a test from the Divine Son to humble my pride?

She realized her earlier attitude had indeed been lacking compared to the others.

Finally, Chu Yaoyue snapped out of her thoughts. Her expression returned to normal, and she ordered, “Prepare my palanquin, I will go and see the Divine Son again.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” the little maid answered with joy, glad that the princess had finally come to her senses.

However, when the palanquin reached the foot of the Gu family mountain, it was suddenly enveloped by a terrifying oppressive force, like a heavenly tribulation. They couldn’t move forward a single step.

Chu Yaoyue understood that this was the Gu family’s mountain-protecting formation. She could only go this far, any further, and the heavens would strike her with a terrifying thunderbolt, obliterating even a cultivator at the peak of the realm.

“Who goes there?” A servant responsible for announcements stood at the gate and asked.

“Princess Chu Yaoyue of the Jingyang Dynasty, seeking an audience with the Gu family’s Divine Son,” Chu Yaoyue took a deep breath and said.

“Seeking an audience with the Divine Son?” The servant glanced at the beautiful woman before him but did not move an inch. He coldly said, “Our Divine Son is not someone just anyone can meet. Do you have a token of the Divine Son?”

Token?

Chu Yaoyue shook her head. How could I have such a thing?

Moreover, she was here with a request.

“No token? Then why do you seek to see our Divine Son? Dream on!” The servant’s expression turned icy. It wasn’t the first time someone wanted to meet the Divine Son, and it was beginning to annoy him. Many cultivators who missed the chance at Purple Bamboo Forest had been loitering around the gate for days.

He saw Chu Yaoyue as just another one of those people.

“I really have urgent matters to discuss with the Divine Son…” Chu Yaoyue grew anxious.

“Urgent matters or not, rules cannot be broken,” the servant replied coldly.

Chu Yaoyue’s heart sank.

How could it be so difficult just to meet someone? After all, I am a princess of a great dynasty.

“Please report to Divine Son. He will surely see me. I beg of you,” Chu Yaoyue’s tone grew humble, a tone she had never imagined using. In the past, she never thought she would beg anyone.

The servant hesitated as he looked at her.

Could it be that the Divine Son truly had some connection with her? After all, she is extraordinarily beautiful—fair and charming, capable of captivating an entire country.

“Fine, I’ll report it,” he finally agreed.

“Thank you,” Chu Yaoyue said gratefully.

A while later, the servant returned, his expression grim, and his gaze towards Chu Yaoyue filled with resentment.

“What happened? What did the Divine Son say?” Chu Yaoyue asked anxiously, not noticing the servant’s resentful look.

“The Divine Son said he will not meet you,” the servant replied with resentment. Not only was he turned away, but he was also scolded by the clan elders for bothering the Divine Son. After all, the Divine Son’s time was precious.

Chu Yaoyue was stunned for a moment. Her expression slowly shifted from confusion to despair, and then from despair to calm.

Why is this happening? Could it be that I was overthinking?

In her mind, she still believed that it was because of her previous disrespect that the Divine Son had become displeased.@@novelbin@@

“Since the Divine Son refuses to meet me, I will kneel here and wait for him to come to me,” Chu Yaoyue said resolutely, her face calm.

She had come to terms with it. After all, her dignity had already been lost. What did it matter now?
