As Wu Tian finished speaking, Zhao Lan was startled and hurriedly exclaimed, "I... I’m only ten years old."

"I intend to kill someone, and I don’t care how old he is," Wu Tian said coldly. "I tolerated you earlier only because today is Si’er’s birthday, not because of your age!"

"Right, the birthday, the birthday," Zhao Lan’s eyes darted around. "Today is Si’er’s birthday, so you can’t kill anyone."

"Unfortunately, my patience has its limits," Wu Tian stated indifferently.

At these words, everyone’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Is it true? Would he really kill a child? Zhao Lan didn’t want to believe it, but he couldn’t stop the terror coursing through him, as if disaster was imminent.

In an instant, he looked up and saw Wu Tian’s finger pointing directly at him. He stumbled backward, his legs trembling as a tingling numbness spread across his scalp. The sense of impending doom was overwhelming.

"No, I was wrong," Zhao Lan panicked, pleading, "I’m only ten! You have to give me a chance."

"I already did," Wu Tian replied.

What? When? How did I not know? Zhao Lan was stunned.

The little one sneered, "Idiot! You’ve been running your mouth this whole time, testing my dad’s patience again and again. You still don’t realize what you did wrong? If you hadn’t been given a chance, you would have died the moment you uttered your first insolent word."

"Then... then give me one more chance! Just one last time!" Zhao Lan shrieked in terror.

Wu Tian shook his head. With a flick of his finger, a streak of Blood Glow shot forth. This crimson light seemed to have emerged from the very Gates of Hell, a fearsome specter released upon the world. Facing the Blood Glow, Zhao Lan felt as if his scalp was splitting apart, his heart pounding in utter fright.

"No!" he screamed.

The assembled crowd saw only a flash of the Blood Glow.

"ARGH!"

A moment later, Zhao Lan’s miserable cry echoed out. When the princes and princesses looked again, the Blood Glow had completely devoured him. Not a single scrap of flesh remained. He had vanished completely.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Wu Tian looked at Si’er and asked, "Do you blame me?"

Si’er snapped back to her senses and quickly shook her head. "No, no, no, I don’t blame you." Then, her tone suddenly grew somber. "I’m just afraid I’m the one at fault. I’ve brought you trouble again."

Wu Tian shook his head, signaling that it was nothing. It was just the death of one Zhao Lan. The Qing Marquis Nation wants to settle the score? They’re welcome to try. If they come, their nation will be annihilated.

"Alright, let’s not talk about that," Wu Tian said. "Today is your birthday, and as your Sect Leader, it’s only right I give you a gift as well."

Qin Yuhan nodded in understanding. She believed that Wu Tian truly treated Si’er like a little sister.

With a slight movement, Wu Tian entered the Nine Dragon Ring. The crowd watched in astonishment as he vanished into thin air in broad daylight. Their eyes went wide and their mouths fell agape, as if they had just seen a ghost.

Wu Tian had entered the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House inside the Nine Dragon Ring. Some of the Supreme Treasures within were protected by a lingering wisp of their original owner’s will or a drop of their blood. For example, the inheritance of the 72 Transformations was guarded by Patriarch Bodhi.

The gift Wu Tian intended for Si’er was right here in the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House. He had already decided what it would be. Among the items, Wu Tian found a robe that looked soft to the touch but was actually woven from fox fur. This was no ordinary fox, but a Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox from the Mythical World. In the legends, the most powerful foxes came from Qingqiu and Tu Mountain, and a robe made from the fur of a Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox was truly extraordinary. Wearing it granted immunity to fire and water, and it could even enhance one’s aptitude.

Si’er’s Supreme Treasure, the Jade Pure Kunlun Fan, had originally belonged to a fox. If she wore this robe, it would be a perfect match for her fan, allowing her to unleash its power even more effectively. This Nine-tailed Fox Robe, however, was not protected by any lingering presence.

Wu Tian took the robe and left the Nine Dragon Ring.

Wu Tian chuckled to himself. The Immortal Emperor Realm is truly like this. Without killing, one cannot establish authority. This is a lesson learned through experience.

"Let’s take a stroll," Si’er suggested. Today, she was the "birthday star," so everyone naturally deferred to her.

"Of course, whatever you say," they all agreed.

Wu Tian walked at the very back with Qin Yuhan and the little one, moving at a slow pace.

"This is true happiness," Si’er murmured softly. "To win a single heart, and never part until our hair is white."

"I like that too."

"Me too," the other princesses echoed in agreement.

But they all knew such a hope was slim. As princesses, they had lived lives of luxury since childhood, far better than those of ordinary women. But there was a price. When they grew up, they would either be married off for political alliances or betrothed to a subordinate official to win his loyalty. Finding someone to love for who they were felt like a daydream.

Getting back to the Heavenly King Domain was only a hundred-meter walk away, but Si’er and the others decided to head outside the Tianlong Domain to another realm entirely: the Demon King Domain.

This region was mostly inhabited by the Monster Race. As Wu Tian contemplated the differences between the races, he mused, The Monster Race and the Beast Clan have similarities, as most monsters evolved from beasts. But the Beast Clan relies mostly on instinct. Even when they take human form, they might retain a dog’s head or paws—some of their bestial traits remain. The Monster Race is different. A Dog Demon, for example, might have some canine traits, but it possesses more characteristics of the Monster Race. Their transformation into human form is complete. Unlike the Beast Clan, they don’t have a ’true form’ unless they’re forcibly reverted back to it. Most monsters are cruel.

While he was thinking, the group had already walked two hundred meters and entered the Demon King Domain, arriving at a city in the Sanhe Nation, the first kingdom they encountered.

Upon entering the city, the most eye-catching sight was a small stall. A flag flew before it, bearing the four words "Three Divinations a Day," and a large crowd was packed tightly around it.

Si’er and the others were intrigued.

Wu Tian was even more so, because those four words were in his own handwriting.
