Seeing how concerned he was, Jiang Ming spoke even more recklessly: "Your appearance is more disgusting than the monsters in the secret realm."

Feng Yu's fist grazed Jiang Ming's ear. Jiang Ming dodged to the side, muttering, "Ugh... your face looks even uglier up close."

"If I were ruined like this, I wouldn't dare to appear in front of Shen Yao at all."

Feng Yu grew increasingly furious, her attacks becoming more and more ferocious. Jiang Ming stopped attacking and focused on defense, uttering a piercing statement: "I know all her secrets."

“In the Thunderous Secret Realm, I spent several months in one room with her, and we talked about everything.”

Jiang Ming's lies were told without hesitation: "She compliments my face every day..."

Feng Yu pressed forward relentlessly, and Jiang Ming retreated to the wall. Feng Yu's iron fist struck Jiang Ming's left cheek, and Jiang Ming leaped up and jumped to the top of the wall.

Feng Yu's punch missed its mark and struck the wall. The wall, which had just been repaired that morning, collapsed again, with bricks falling with a loud crash.

Two blurry figures flashed to the side hall. Seeing that the fairy on the bed had not been woken up, they glared at each other and flashed back into the courtyard to continue fighting.

The fight lasted for almost half an hour, and Jiang Ming's nonsense became more and more offensive, each sentence provoking Feng Yu's bottom line.

"Feng Yu, your strength is so weak, are you just tickling me?"

"Useless! No wonder you couldn't protect her!"

Feng Yu executed a spinning side kick, which Jiang Ming dodged with a somersault.

Feng Yu retorted, "Useless, all you do is hide."

After a long and drawn-out battle, Jiang Ming had noticed Feng Yu's attack signal and stopped dodging, launching a counterattack.

His attack was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable and powerful. His strong physique withstood Feng Yu's punches and struck Feng Yu's heart with his palm.

Feng Yu moved with the agility of a dragon, bending low to the side as the palm wind brushed past her. Jiang Ming's palm struck empty air, transforming into a claw that seized Feng Yu by the back of her collar and ripped it apart with force...

The scars covering his back caught Jiang Ming's eye...

"Hiss...tsk tsk..." Although he had guessed it beforehand, the intricate scars still made Jiang Ming's heart pound. He retreated to the tree, holding the tattered cloth of his clothes in his hand, and looked at Feng Yu with the eyes of someone mocking a crippled beast.

Feng Yu glared at the treacherous villain in the tree, then took out an outer garment and put it on.

Jiang Ming laughed heartily. He reached out and let go, and the tattered cloth of his clothes fluttered down: "How pathetic! Hahahaha, I'm delighted to see this."

"With your face and body ruined like this, how dare you still covet my wife?"

Feng Yu said coldly, "Jiang Ming, let me remind you again, if you have delusions, you should get treatment as soon as possible."

"Ha, wishful thinking? Can't you see that Shi Bao looks exactly like me?" Mentioning Shi Bao, Jiang Ming's smile widened. "You wouldn't happen to want a child born with ten spiritual roots, would you?"

"Feng Yu, do you want me to send you a few mirrors? Take a look at yourself and see how disgusting you are right now."

Feng Yu shattered Jiang Ming's illusion: "You're mistaken, Shi Bao is not your child."

"Ha." Jiang Ming said as if he had heard a joke: "If it's not my child, then is it yours?"

Feng Yu said firmly, "Yes, it's mine!"

"Hahahaha..." Jiang Ming was amused: "So eager to be a father, are you crazy about having kids?"

His face suddenly darkened again, and he stared at Feng Yu with a sinister look: "Your Feng family's bloodline is not bad either, so what? Your ambitions have grown so much now?"

Feng Yu glared at him angrily, unafraid of his intimidating presence.

Jiang Ming couldn't stand his defiant attitude, so he changed his sitting position in the tree, pretending to be very relaxed, and told him about a non-existent past.

"You probably don't know this, but back in Fenzhou, the first time Shen Yao and I were alone together, we shared a bed."

"Later, in the stone chamber of the secret realm, she and I talked about everything, and we were inseparable day and night. Do you know how much she loved me when she was in love?"

"Buzz..." The Frost Sword was drawn in a fit of rage.

"I've said it before, my wife is innocent, don't you dare tarnish her reputation." Feng Yu leaped onto a tree and attacked Jiang Ming with her sword.

Jiang Ming slid down the tree trunk in a flash, summoned the Flaming Sun Blade, and met Feng Yu's attack. The blade's intent clashed, and the leaves rustled...

"Stop!" Jiang Qi came from the courtyard gate and, seeing the scene, shouted, "It's only been a few days! And you're fighting again! Jiang Ming, don't you have anything else to do?"

Jiang Ming reluctantly sheathed his sword, and Feng Yu also sheathed hers.

Jiang Qi surveyed the mess in the courtyard, her face grim as she looked back and forth between Jiang Ming and Feng Yu.

She spoke with a spirited and proud voice: "It's nothing for an outstanding fairy to have a few lovers. I don't care who's the elder or the younger, you're both my immortal lords. Don't ruin our harmony, understand?"

Jiang Ming stared at Jiang Qi in astonishment, unable to believe that such words could come from his own sister's mouth.

Feng Yu was speechless, thinking that the Jiang siblings were both crazy. He said "I'm not fighting anymore" and went back to the side hall.

Jiang Qi took Jiang Ming away, and Jiang Ming, still resentful, followed her back to the Thunder God Hall.

Jiang Qi circled around Jiang Ming once, then dropped a bombshell: "Shen Yao's father is an Immortal Emperor."

Jiang Ming was stunned: "Immortal Emperor? No! Her father is Immortal Venerable, she said it herself."

Jiang Qi pondered for a moment: "But I can't see his spiritual root."

Jiang Ming: "It probably has a hidden spiritual root."

Jiang Qi kicked him in the leg: "What's wrong with your brain? Why was he hiding his spiritual root when he just came out of the secret realm?"

"You should know the pros and cons. We can only befriend them, not antagonize them. Don't be jealous and competitive all the time."

Jiang Ming stubbornly gritted his teeth.

Jiang Qi glanced at him, her eyebrows furrowing habitually: "What's with that expression? I haven't even asked you yet, Shen Yao is clearly a sixth-grade fifth-level spiritual root, so why are there fragments of a sixth-level spiritual root in her body?"

Jiang Ming held his breath, bit his cheek, and said as if it were nothing out of the ordinary: "She has a growth-type spiritual root."

“A growth-type spiritual root?” Jiang Qi spoke slowly, her tone becoming more serious: “Throughout history, those below the fifth or sixth grade of spiritual roots have never been able to awaken a new spiritual root. A growth-type spiritual root? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of one.”

Jiang Qi stared into her younger brother's eyes, while Jiang Ming lowered his eyes and avoided her gaze.

Jiang Qi stared for a moment, then asked casually, "Is the Spirit Awakening Seal in her possession?"

“Impossible. When I took Shen Yao away from the Feng family, I checked her belongings and there was no Spirit Awakening Seal.” He had suspected that Zong Changheng had given her the Spirit Awakening Seal, but after checking her belongings, there was indeed none. However, Jiang Ming still felt uneasy for no reason.

Jiang Qi: "She doesn't have one, but what about her father?"

"No way." Jiang Ming knew his sister and father's methods all too well, and Shen Yao absolutely could not be associated with the Qi Ling Seal: "She has a growth-type spiritual root, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to Jiang Yu, a born Immortal Emperor."

Jiang Qi thought about it and felt it made sense. The conditions for awakening a new spiritual root with the Spirit Awakening Seal were very strict. One needed to have the secret method of changing the spirit, and there had to be a cultivator of the Immortal Realm or above who was willing to sacrifice himself. Moreover, a Spirit Awakening Seal could only be used once.

Shi Bao is indeed a born Immortal Emperor, something that the Spirit Awakening Seal cannot achieve.
