Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Right in front of him, a red-haired girl was sitting diagonally on the tree trunk, looking down at him.

"Looks like you're quite perceptive."

Lin Yun shrugged and said, "You're going too far."

As he spoke, he sized her up; judging from her appearance alone, she looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, in this fantasy world, there are many ways to preserve one's youth, so one's true age needs to be determined separately.

The red-haired girl was dressed in a black dress, looking simple and mature. Her deep eyes, in particular, were as calm and serene as an ancient well.

A gentle breeze lifted her fiery red hair, causing her skirt to flutter slightly.

From Lin Yun's upward angle, one could clearly see her fair and slender legs beneath her skirt, and even...

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Friendly reminder: if you sit like this, a gust of wind could expose you completely."

Expecting the other person to blush, the red-haired girl simply said something indifferent.

"If you know that, why are you still watching?"

"I'm a man, this is instinct, okay?"

The red-haired girl looked at him and smiled knowingly.

"I think it's because you're too lustful inside, isn't it?"

After she finished speaking, she gracefully landed, not because she felt ashamed, but simply because she found it too tiring to speak with her head down.

Lin Yun looked at the red-haired girl. Although she was not very tall, her aura was inexplicably powerful, like a queen who was high above!

Although she couldn't sense her cultivation level, she always felt that it was even more powerful than Valley Master Su's...

Lin Yun frowned and asked directly.

"I think you should explain why you were spying on us."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired girl smiled gently.

"It wasn't spying, I was just observing you."

"Observing me? Why?"

"Because you might be in my way, I'm considering whether... I should kill you."

The red-haired girl smiled calmly, as if to say that she was struggling with whether or not she should eat meat that night.

These words made Lin Yun narrow his eyes slightly.

"So, you've decided to kill me?"

"No, I've changed my mind."

The red-haired girl gazed at him, a smile playing on her lips, and extended her hand to Lin Yun.

"You are a good person and very valuable, so I want you to submit to me. In the future, I can help you become an emperor and an immortal, possess everything, and even gain eternal life!"

At this point, the red-haired girl appeared behind him almost instantly, her delicate hand gently resting on Lin Yun's shoulder.

She moved closer, and Lin Yun could even clearly smell the intoxicating fragrance emanating from her.

"When everything is accomplished, even this body of mine may be given to you..."

The girl's voice was incredibly alluring, and her delicate fragrance made Lin Yun momentarily lose his senses.

But only for a moment, and he came to his senses and laughed.

"Sounds pretty good."

"so?"

"But I refuse!"

Lin Yun answered without hesitation, causing the red-haired girl to freeze for a moment.

"why?"

"Nonsense, would you believe the kindness of a stranger?"

Lin Yun shrugged and said, "In my hometown, if things were that simple, people would probably cut off our kidneys."

"Yes, it was indeed a bit too rushed..."

The red-haired girl seemed to be reflecting, and after thinking for a moment, she looked up and chuckled softly.

"Then let's wait until next time we meet. Next time we meet, you will definitely agree to submit to me."

These absolute words made Lin Yun somewhat unhappy.

Then, he raised an eyebrow and asked.

"So, who exactly are you?"

"You'll know in a month."

After saying that, the red-haired girl turned around and waved her hand.

"Since we've already been exposed, let's meet again another day."

As soon as she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of red light and vanished.

Lin Yun found it all baffling. If the other party hadn't displayed remarkable strength, he would have suspected she was some kind of delusional teenager.

And from her mention of a month later, it seems that the other party will be going to the Qingyun Grand Competition?

I just don't know if the other party is friend or foe; judging from what they've said, they seem to be playing the villain...

"Sigh, what a strange person..."

Lin Yun shook his head and went back to the orphanage.

Several days later, at the Zhao family in Canglong City.

Several elders of the Zhao family and a young genius were having a meeting to discuss the Qingyun Grand Competition.

Zhao Wanfeng, the head of the Zhao family, gave instructions to the gray-robed youth in front of him.

"Zhao Kun, the Zhao family has given you all their resources. Whether you can make a name for yourself this time depends on you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun's lips curled up slightly as he toyed with the longsword in his hand.

"Don't worry, Patriarch, I'm now at the peak of the Innate Realm, and my strength is guaranteed to be in the top ten, no problem at all!"

"Great, top ten is enough!"

Normally, the top ten are dominated by the five major players.

If Zhao Kun can break through, the Zhao family will become truly famous this time!

Just then, someone rushed over and handed a roster to Zhao Wanfeng.

"Master, the list of contestants for the Qingyun Grand Competition has been distributed."

"Oh, let me see..."

Zhao Wanfeng smiled and glanced through it a few times, but soon his face darkened instantly!

"How is this possible? She's participating in the Qingyun Grand Competition too?"

The other elders looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

"Who is it that you care about so much?"

Zhao Wanfeng slammed the roster on the table and pointed to the names listed alongside those of the Zhao family.

[Name: Bai Xiaoxue, Affiliation: Outsider Orphanage, Status: Directly Entered the Main Tournament!]

Everyone's expression changed, and they began to discuss among themselves.

"It's that remnant of the Bai family. Isn't she a good-for-nothing? Why would she participate in the Qingyun Grand Competition?"

"And this extraterrestrial orphanage, what kind of weird organization is this?"

"The key is that they went straight into the main competition. Which powerful force granted them this spot?"

The sheer number of questions left them all bewildered.

After calming down, Zhao Wanfeng immediately remembered Thunder Sword Emperor's report and understood everything in an instant.

If this orphanage is an appendage of the Heavenly Demon Palace, then everything makes sense.

However, if Bai Xiaoxue really becomes a demonic cultivator of the Heavenly Demon Palace, this will not be good news for them.

After all, the Zhao family wiped out his entire clan. Such a deep-seated hatred means that as long as the other party is alive, they will always be a source of trouble!

Thinking of this, a murderous glint flashed in Zhao Wanfeng's eyes.

"Never mind the reasons for now, just think about how to kill her."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun smiled and said.

"She's just a little girl. Isn't she going to participate in the Qingyun Grand Competition?"

Zhao Wanfeng raised an eyebrow, as if he understood something.

"You mean, you killed her during the match?"

Zhao Kun nodded and smiled confidently.

"That's right, arrange for me to face her in the previous round, I guarantee she'll be taken down before she can even surrender!"

"Hmm...that's a good idea. Even the Heavenly Demon Palace won't be able to say anything then."

Zhao Wanfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then let's do it that way. I'll find someone to arrange it later."

While we can't cause trouble in the important matches later on, it's not difficult to arrange things in the regular matches beforehand...
