Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 973 - The World’s Number One Beauty
Chapter 973 - The World’s Number One Beauty
“Mingyue is my junior sister; we are only doing our duty. There’s no need for Old Mister to take it to heart,” Di Chen replied politely.
The elder revealed a warm look and said, “Our nation’s future is uncertain. If I may be so bold, I hope you outstanding gentlemen will protect Her Highness should the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation face a great catastrophe and keep her from acting recklessly.”
“That goes without saying.” Di Chen nodded and continued, “Please don’t worry, Old Mister. Since the Medicine King Valley’s saintess is treating His Majesty, he’ll definitely recover.”
The elder shook his head slightly. His expression carried a trace of worry—he was clearly not optimistic.
“His Majesty’s illness has plagued him for a long time.” The elder sighed.
Di Chen and the others frowned. It seemed like the sovereign’s situation was very serious, and even this elder had little faith in the Medicine King Valley’s saintess.
The Holy Spirit Ancient Nation had stood for ten thousand years; though the imperial family was rife with internal strife, the sovereign’s faction was still very influential. They had likely sought out numerous skilled physicians before finally turning to the Medicine King Valley’s saintess as a last resort.
The Medicine King Valley’s status was extraordinary. Even though they were only a superpower, even the nine overlord class forces were very polite toward them. Ordinary people couldn’t even set foot in the valley, let alone request an audience with their saintess.
The Holy Spirit Ancient Nation’s sovereign faction must have paid an extremely heavy price to bring her. Yet despite all this, the elder’s lack of hope suggested that whatever afflicted the sovereign was no ordinary illness.
After all, the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation’s sovereign was an apex expert in the Invincible Legendary realm. With such immense strength, common ailments could never threaten his life.
After waiting for some time outside, Chen Fan finally saw Zhuge Mingyue coming out.
The corners of her eyes were slightly moist—she had clearly been crying.
Quite a few people were by her side—among them, imperial consorts in elegant palace attire and two youths who resembled her: legitimate princes, sons of the sovereign.
The group came up to Chen Fan’s group. The elder prince, Zhuge Tan, bowed and thanked them, looking extremely polite.
“I thank you gentlemen from the True Martial Academy.”
The guests from the True Martial Academy were all from the younger generation. The courtesy they showed could be light or heavy; it all depended on whether they respected them.
“No need to be polite,” Di Chen said softly. He looked at Zhuge Mingyue and asked, “Mingyue, how is the situation?”
“My father has suffered from a slow-acting poison for years. It’s deeply hidden but lethal to even a super expert when triggered. After his recent battle, the toxin spread in an instant. His condition is critical now,” Zhuge Mingyue said with a hoarse voice, her eyes reddening again.
“Not even the Medicine King Valley’s saintess has a cure?” asked Duanmu Lingxing.
“She said that she can only suppress the toxin temporarily. As for a cure...” Zhuge Mingyue trailed off, but the implication was clear, sending a chill through the crowd.
This poison could kill the sovereign, an Invincible Legendary realm apex expert. Its potency was simply unimaginable.
Suddenly, another group walked out of the sovereign’s palace hall. Clad in white, they moved gracefully, like fairies.
The crowd turned as Zhuge Yan’s group stepped forward with a smile. “You’ve worked hard, fairies.”
Chen Fan’s group also saw the group of beautiful figures. They were all women, probably Medicine King Valley experts here to guard the saintess. Their presence made sense; female attendants would naturally care for her best.
Three more figures emerged next. The women flanking the center were breathtaking, yet their beauty paled in comparison to the woman in the center.
The woman in the middle was simply dazzling. The moment she appeared, everything else seemed to fade.
“So devastatingly beautiful.” Zhu Yue’s eyes glimmered, his eyes fixed on her.
It wasn’t just him—Chen Fan and the others were all looking at the saintess. Her radiance was simply indescribable.
Though their minds were resolute, impervious to beauty, for an instant, they faltered before quickly regaining composure.
Chen Fan had seen all kinds of stunning beauties before. His senior sister, Qin Yao, the demonic lady, Xuan Shitong, his third senior sister, Duanmu Lingxing, and his fifth senior sister, Zhuge Mingyue, were all unparalleled in their own right.
However, he had to admit—Medicine King Valley’s saintess’ beauty surpassed them all.

Still, there wasn’t a hint of lust on his face, only pure admiration for her looks.
Zhuge Yan’s voice rang out.
“Saintess, fairies, the coliseum is ready. Shall we go take a look?”
His gaze toward the Medicine King Valley’s saintess was fiery. Such beauty was rare—if he could take her into his embrace, how blissful would that be?
Furthermore, as the Medicine King Valley’s saintess, her status surpassed his, despite the valley being merely a superpower.
If he could gain her favor, his status in the Sun Moon Divine Sect would rise even higher. He could even get the chance to fight for the grand position of sect master.
The Medicine King Valley’s saintess nodded indifferently at Zhuge Yan’s eager attentiveness, seemingly keeping a distance between them.
Seeing that the saintess did not decline, Zhuge Yan smiled even wider. Just as he was about to lead the Medicine King Valley’s people to the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation’s coliseum, he suddenly paused, glanced at Chen Fan’s group, and said with a smile, “Gentlemen from the True Martial Academy, care to join us?”
“Let’s go take a look.” Di Chen smiled.
The Medicine King Valley’s people also cast their gazes over, surprised to learn they were from the academy.
The saintess also glanced over. When she saw Chen Fan, she hesitated briefly, a flicker of light flashing through them. However, she immediately recovered and retracted her gaze.
Thus, the crowd strolled forth, heading towards the coliseum.
“I heard the saintess’ name is Lin Xian’er. She is dubbed the world’s number one beauty,” Duanmu Lingxing said.
Zhu Yue, ever carefree, chuckled. “World’s number one beauty? Tsk tsk, that’s quite the title, but with her looks, she is worthy of it. I’ve seen countless women, and she is definitely the most beautiful one. Her appearance can be described as unrivaled.
“Hmm?”
However, as soon as his voice fell, two icy gazes fell on him, causing him to shiver uncontrollably. He hurriedly changed his words, “Of course, in my heart, Third Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Sister are the prettiest.”
Zhu Yue felt that invisible pressure recede. He could not help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and let out a long breath.
Seeing this, Chen Fan and the others smiled one after another.
