When Lin Dong Elder’s hoarse voice resounded in the area, the place went into an uproar. Many people turned to look at Luo Li.

No one had expected the War Emperor of the Western Kingdom War Temple to issue a decree conferring the honor of Holy Maid upon Luo Li. This was a special position in the Western Kingdom War Temple, second only to the War Emperor. Even the elders of the Western Kingdom War Temple had to show due respect to her.

As the people looked at Luo Li with envy, Luo Tianshen turned pale. The War Emperor had 3,000 concubines, and all of them were beautiful. He had cultivated the Emperor’s Esoteric Scripture, which was cultivation through sex. Apparently, the War Emperor was a lecher.

Previously, Luo Tianshen had heard that the Western Kingdom War Temple was interested in Luo Li, but she was not so well-known back then. As she became more outstanding and beautiful, the Western Kingdom War Temple must have heard of it.

Now that Luo Li had cultivated the Luo God Celestial Body, she would be in the limelight. Luo Tianshen had expected them to take note of her, but he had not expected it to happen so soon.

Many beautiful ladies in the Western Kingdom Continent and Western Kingdom War Temple had wished to gain the War Emperor’s favor and to progress from there. After all, many ladies had been attracted to him due to his strength and elegant demeanor. The 3,000 concubines had willingly submitted themselves to the War Emperor, as they had been captivated by him. However, Luo Tianshen knew that his granddaughter was not one of them…

Given her pride, unless she liked the person, she would not care, even if it was the War Emperor.

The position of Holy Maid is much sought after by a lot of people. However, Luo Li will not accept it… but how can she reject the War Emperor’s decree? He is the Dominator of the Western Kingdom Continent! He is the renowned Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand World!

When Mu Chen saw Luo Tianshen smiling bitterly, he started to frown. Although he knew nothing about the West Heaven War Emperor, he could roughly figure it out from Luo Tianshen’s expression.

“Hohoho, congratulations, Holy Maid. From now on, you shall be the Holy Maid of the Western Kingdom War Temple.” Lin Dong Elder smiled. He showed Luo Li the golden scroll in his hand and said, “Do come and receive the decree.”

However, Luo Li did not respond to him. She lifted up her head and looked calmly at Lin Dong Elder for a long while before saying, “I am not accepting it.”

The entire area went into dead silence after Luo Li had spoken. The people widened their eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

She has rejected the War Emperor’s decree!

This is the decree of a Heavenly Sovereign!

Xue Lingzi, who had been scared out of his wits earlier, was elated when he heard Luo Li’s reply. He had never expected Luo Li to be so audacious!

When Lin Dong Elder heard it, he was stunned as well. He then frowned and said in a deep voice, “This is the War Emperor’s decree. Do you know the consequences of rejecting it?”

Although Luo Li felt burdened by what he said, she stayed true to her decision. As Luo Li was feeling the burden, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. He stretched out his hand and held Luo Li’s cold hand tightly.

It was Mu Chen. When they looked at each other, they smiled.

Wow.

Their behavior brought about an uproar in the area. The people then realized that they were a couple. Luo Li had rejected the position of Holy Maid because of Mu Chen.

Mu Chen held Luo Li’s hand and lifted up his head. He looked expressionlessly at Lin Dong Elder and asked, “When did the Western Kingdom War Temple start forcing others to become Holy Maid?”

“Young chap, watch your tongue!” Lin Dong Elder said. A horrifying spiritual energy oppression burst out from his body, and the area turned into winter. A horrifying cold wave then swirled toward Mu Chen.

As the cold wave moved towards Mu Chen, Mandela suddenly appeared before him. A dark light exuded from her body like a black hole and swallowed up the cold wave. She looked flatly at Lin Dong Elder and said mockingly, “Can’t he talk? Is the Western Kingdom War Temple so unreasonable!?”

Mandela was curt. Although the West Heaven War Emperor was a Heavenly Sovereign, she was not afraid of him. After all, she had been with the Heavenly Emperor for years and had seen many Heavenly Sovereigns.

When Lin Dong Elder heard it, he turned gloomy. He stared at Mandela and asked, “Are you out to set yourself against the Western Kingdom War Temple?”

“Is there a problem?” Mandela sneered and was unafraid.

“Presumptuous!” Lin Dong Elder shouted. He was enraged. He waved his sleeve and an Ice Crystal Star shot out. The temperature in the area immediately dropped and the space started to freeze.

Buzz!

The Ice Crystal Star turned into a cold wave and shot out fiercely. It expanded and turned into a vast Glacier Star falling mercilessly toward Mandela. The force was so great that it could destroy the heavens and the earth.

“Ha!” Mandela snorted when she saw it. A streamer shot out of her mouth, and myriad rays of light burst out to form a pyramid. The object was the Starry Suppression Tower that Mu Chen had given her previously.

Swoosh!

Starlight whizzed out from the Starry Suppression Tower and blasted onto the Ice Crystal Star. The Ice Crystal Star exploded and turned into ice crystals that fell to the ground.

When the Ice Crystal Star exploded, Lin Dong Elder snorted. He moved back several steps and looked pale. He had lost the first round.

“Great. Great!” Lin Dong Elder looked furious. He took a deep breath and held the golden scroll respectfully. After he bit his tongue, he spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the scroll.

Buzz. Buzz.

When the blood essence fell onto the scroll, golden light suddenly burst out and exuded a horrifying aura. It was as though the Dominator was present. Those who were below Earthly Sovereign-level fell on their faces and could not lift their heads. They were trembling under the horrifying aura. They knew what the aura represented…

In the entire Western Kingdom Continent, only one person possessed this power. The person was the legendary West Heaven War Emperor!

Mandela turned grave, as she knew that the scroll should summon the Shadowspirit. Although it was just a Shadowspirit, she already felt the oppression.

Mu Chen felt Luo Li tighten her grip.

“Don’t be afraid,” Mu Chen said softly.

Luo Li tilted her head and was shocked to see that Mu Chen was not flustered, although he looked grave. She then smiled wryly and said, “Leave if there is a chance.”

“What about you?”

Luo Li smiled and said, “Whatever happens, I will not be the Holy Maid.”

Mu Chen looked at her smile and saw the determined look in her eyes. Given her pride, she would rather die than become the Holy Maid.

“Luo Li…” Mu Chen looked at Luo Li and said softly, “Do you remember what I told you before? I said next time, I would never allow anyone to take you away from me.” He looked into her eyes and said, “This includes the West Heaven War Emperor.” Although the West Heaven War Emperor was powerful, Mu Chen still had some means to contend with him.

Luo Li was stunned. Although she did not know why Mu Chen was so confident, she knew that he would not do anything rashly. Since he had said it, he must be capable of doing something.

Luo Li then started to relax a little.

“You must have gone through a lot during the past few years,” Luo Li said with a smile. Her smile was so charming that Mu Chen had the sudden urge to hold her in his arms. However, he suppressed his feelings and lifted up his head to look at the golden scroll. Golden light emanated from it, and a golden figure gradually appeared.

“Welcome, Emperor!” Lin Dong Elder said respectfully as he looked at the golden figure and knelt down.

A golden figure stood in the sky with one hand behind his back. He had bright golden hair and was good-looking. His dark eyes were charming and unforgettable. The most captivating part about him was the majestic aura that he exuded. Everyone shivered at this aura.

When the golden figure appeared, he looked at Luo Li and asked in a loud, clear voice, “Luo Li, are you sure you want to reject it?”
