Wang Xiaoqiang laughed happily, "So, I've become the Heir of the Flame!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Dominating Moon Listening to Snow walked up to Wang Xiaoqiang, her beautiful eyes examining him from top to bottom, full of reverence and admiration. Having just witnessed Wang Xiaoqiang's terrifying ability to refine and transform pills, she was now convinced that this prodigy of the Immortal Realm could only be Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Currently, all the powerful nations are embroiled in chaotic wars; emperors wish to unite the Immortal Realm and become the supreme prodigy. If Your Majesty's True Dragon of the Flame becomes known, it will surely attract the attention and envy of these powers, and Your Majesty will become the center of conflict. Therefore, before being absolutely certain, Your Majesty should best remain low profile and not reveal the True Dragon of the Flame..."

Wang Xiaoqiang becoming the Heir of the Flame was the will of the heavens, yet it also became a taboo among the emperors of various nations. If he recklessly revealed the True Dragon of the Flame, it would surely lead to a siege by the powerful.

With his current strength and the power of his four countries, Wang Xiaoqiang was not yet capable of confronting the entire Immortal Realm. Therefore, maintaining a low profile was the kingly path.

Wang Xiaoqiang understood this reasoning, so he nodded and said, "This matter should remain known only to the heavens, the earth, you, and me—do not tell outsiders about it."

Dominating Moon Listening to Snow nodded obediently, then gazed at Wang Xiaoqiang with deep affection and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Listening to Snow is Your Majesty's person and favored by Your Majesty, so naturally, Listening to Snow will think of Your Majesty's interests everywhere."

Wang Xiaoqiang surely would not doubt Dominating Moon Listening to Snow. If she wished him harm, she would not have told him about the True Dragon of the Flame in the first place.

To be safe, Wang Xiaoqiang moved his willpower and brought forth 400,000,000 spiritual springs from his body, disguising himself as being at the Nine Elephant Realm of the Immortal King.

From that day on, he planned to remain low profile until the day he had confidence to sweep through the entire Immortal Realm and become its prodigy, only then revealing his true cultivation base.

Dominating Moon Listening to Snow was surprised as she noticed Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation suddenly weaken, reverting back to its original Nine Elephant Realm of the Immortal King,

...

Through Cheng Jin's efforts, the 500 Myriad Circle Spirit Formations were completed, and Wang Xiaoqiang ascended to the Immortal Emperor Realm. However, Wang Xiaoqiang still thought that attacking the Qin Kingdom was premature,

because...

The Blood Lotus in his Sumeru Ring was depleted after repeated use, and without the support of Blood Qi from the Snow Lotus, he had no confidence in a fight against the Immortal Emperor,

Under such circumstances, he had to send someone to the Snow Territory of the Yellow Dragon Empire to gather Snow Lotus.

The only people who knew how to collect Snow Lotus were Sai Ya and Leng Qingqiu,

and now, these two women were in the Yan Kingdom, out of communication's reach.

Communication Talismans were not as advanced as phones on Earth; they could not reach such long distances, and the vast area of the Immortal Realm—ten times the size of Earth—was beyond the reach of even the highest-grade Communication Talismans.

Wang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to personally go to the Yan Kingdom.

Arriving in the Yan Kingdom,

he met with the Heavenly Demon, Leng Qingqiu, Flower Demon, Sai Ya, and Princess Xiangxiang, all very joyful. Upon hearing about Wang Xiaoqiang's subjugation of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, the women felt quite relieved.

Wang Xiaoqiang arranged for Leng Qingqiu and Sai Ya to immediately go to the Snow Territory of the Yellow Dragon Empire to collect Snow Lotus, and the two women accepted the command and left.

A country cannot be without its ruler for a day; after Wang Xiaoqiang left, the governance of the Yan Kingdom became slightly chaotic, and the industry declined, so Wang Xiaoqiang decided to oversee the government affairs during this time.

It is true Wang Xiaoqiang is a genius in cultivation; not only does he have the Five Elements Spirit Spring, but his comprehension is also extremely high, otherwise, his understanding of the "Dao" would not have achieved such heights,

Furthermore, Wang Xiaoqiang is quick-witted, with a meticulous mind, cunning as a fox, and adept in military strategy, qualifying him as a military genius,

However, in politics, he was somewhat lacking; each country is different, making governance varied. For days, Wang Xiaoqiang found himself overwhelmed with work, and although Wang Xiaoqiang was a cultivation powerhouse, having reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, and also at the Undying Golden Body - Minor Completion Realm, governance required not the body but the mind,

even with his strong body, Wang Xiaoqiang still felt mentally exhausted. Fortunately, Princess Xiangxiang took meticulous care of him, allowing him moments of joy.

This day,

Wang Xiaoqiang returned to his bedchamber, exhausted, only to see Princess Xiangxiang sitting at the vanity, possibly having just done her makeup, her face appeared especially radiant, her skin smooth as jade, her fresh face and newly shaped eyebrows.

Beside her heart-shaped bun, a green gemstone dangled in front of her forehead, and her autumn-water eyes shyly peeked at Wang Xiaoqiang, pure and elegant, alluring and gorgeous, with beauty beyond measure.

Princess Xiangxiang smiled mysteriously, "What's the hurry? Come with me!"

Saying this, she took Wang Xiaoqiang's hand and led him out of the chamber, where an opulent Immortal Palanquin awaited outside,

taking Wang Xiaoqiang onto the Immortal Palanquin. Princess Xiangxiang said:

"Sit tight, I'm taking you to a wonderful Celestial Blessed Land!"

With that, Princess Xiangxiang moved with her willpower, driving the Immortal Palanquin to fly upwards.

The Immortal Palanquin swayed under the night sky, eventually stopping by a lake,

Princess Xiangxiang led Wang Xiaoqiang off the Immortal Palanquin, and Wang Xiaoqiang noticed it was Xiangmi Lake in the back mountain of the Yan Kingdom Palace.

The woods around the lake were hung with colorful lanterns, reflecting a dazzling scene, with colorful lanterns hanging high around the lakeside buildings, creating a splendid view, like heavenly palaces. Small boats floated in the lake, each hung with several bright lights, making the little boats look like beautiful crescent moons from afar.

The night at Xiangmi Lake was exceptionally splendid under these lights.

Wang Xiaoqiang exclaimed in surprise, "Xiangxiang, why did you bring me here?"

Princess Xiangxiang smiled silently, holding his hand and headed straight to the lakeside, where a small boat awaited. She led Wang Xiaoqiang onto the boat, sat him down, and picked up a bamboo pole, letting the little boat drift away from the shore,

The scenery both on the lake and the shore was boundless.

The sound of water rippling by the pole reached their ears, and the lights of varying distances intertwined with the lake water, forming patches of gold, silver, red, and green scales...

A novel and romantic feeling gradually enveloped Wang Xiaoqiang's heart,

Wang Xiaoqiang felt that tonight was not merely about romance; there had to be a surprise. He did not want to break the anticipation of this surprise, so he refrained from using Divine Sense to explore,

as the boat docked on the island in the heart of the lake, Princess Xiangxiang secured the boat, smiled, and took Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, softly saying, "Your Majesty, please..."

The island was also adorned everywhere with colorful lanterns; though not a single person was in sight, Wang Xiaoqiang knew organizing these things required immense effort and was not something ordinary people could accomplish.

Princess Xiangxiang lifted her skirt and led Wang Xiaoqiang up the island, passing flower forests, hibiscus, bamboo fences, flower railings, wooden houses, and winding corridors, all bright with light, a fragrance of flowers wafted around, likely the scent of osmanthus, pleasantly fragrant, yet seemingly mixed with another scent.

When Wang Xiaoqiang stepped into the familiar boudoir he used to stay on the island, he was instantly dazzled and entranced, astounded by the room filled with fresh flowers, thick red candles illuminating the room clearly. The whole room was adorned with flowers—osmanthus, crape myrtle, jasmine, balsam, crabapple, roses... The flowers had decorated the boudoir into a fairy-tale world, a flower house.

"Xiangxiang, did you set this up?" Wang Xiaoqiang was directly touched by this romance, and all the day's weariness and troubles vanished.

"I knew you were tired, so I wanted to change the environment for you to relax; this flower room was arranged by me and the Flower Demon,"

"The Flower Demon?... Where is she?"

Wang Xiaoqiang looked around in suspicion, searching for the Flower Demon,

just then, an enormous Five-Color Strange Flower floated from the lake's surface. It appeared unusually eerie and radiant in the night.

"Indeed, Princess Xiangxiang has given me a surprise!" Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze fixed on the Five-Color Strange Flower, rubbing his hands together, secretly delighted and expectant.

The Five-Color Strange Flower floated to the edge of the heart of the lake island and, with a swish, transformed into a woman,

it was the Flower Demon.

She draped herself in a "Seven-Color Neon Dress."

The Flower Demon gave Wang Xiaoqiang a charming smile, saying, "Your Majesty, this flower room was arranged according to Princess Xiangxiang's design. Are you satisfied?"

"Yes, not bad, I like it a lot, but no matter how wonderful this flower room is, it's not as good as you."
