In the softly glowing chamber, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. The miniature Moonlight Formation pulsed with gentle silver light, casting his silhouette across the jade floor.
Cool lunar Qi brushed against his skin, seeping slowly into his bones. His chaotic soul energy calmed, and the heat from his body began to fade. Bit by bit, the Sunfire Seed nestled within him stirred—not wildly, but steadily, syncing with the cold moonlight like a slow, breathing rhythm.
Lady Mingyan's come and make a formation barrier. Ok little club let's start your first soul cultivation. She inject her soul energy in Lin yuan body and guide his soul energy to create cultivation path of black tiger clans. It wasn't painful at all. Soon he fall asleep. When he woke up he fell pain. Lady Mingyang say it's poison of soul devouring ant. Eat some soul fruit. He eat some fruit and Lady Mingyang help him caltivate. Cultivation became most enjoyable things for Lin yuan. In fifteen days he finished all soul fruit. Then Lady an come out and Lady Mingyang hide in pocket dimensions. Ok son we need to caltivate. She use her qi to guide his qi in tai yin Technique. It's painful but Lin yuan aren't afraid of this kind . Lady an say ,"Cultivation is slow and boring. If you want to speed up you have to accept pain. Without master cultivation is more slow. That's why people say master are second parents in our life." Lin yuan eat fruits and caltivate. But this time it's not soul fruit. So he have to poop. So after only 3 day later he come out. He see xaio hu feeding some goats. Lin yuan ask why are you feeding goats. It's over 100 goats. Xaio hu replied, "I am feeding them so that I can eat them in future. See I am also making pounds". "But xaio hu you drink milk". Xaio hu replied, "When I grew up I will eat meat". "Ok but what about pond". Xaio hu replied, "I was digging and sect leader suggests me to dig a pond"." Where is qingxue". Xaio hu replied, "I don't know".
Sometime letters Lin yuan start digging pond. Qingxue come and ask, "how are you? ".Lin yuan say, "I am fine". She give Lin yuan some nutts. At night sect leader say "Don't go to caltivate. "
**The Next Morning**
Lin Yuan woke refreshed. His soul was calmer than ever. Even the residual poison in his veins had faded to a faint memory.
In the kitchen, Xiao Hu was attempting to chop radishes while Qingxue prepared honey rice cakes.
"Brother, want a bite?" Qingxue offered.
Later, the courtyard buzzed with chatter.
A group of outer disciples gathered near the main announcement stone.
> "The princess from the Liu Kingdom will arrive for the beauty competition!"
> "I heard she's already at the outer gate—came in a sky chariot!"
> "She's in the **Body Refining Realm**, but her soul is said to be *half-awakened*! That's royal blood for you."
Lin Yuan, eavesdropping silently, frowned.
> *"Why would a princess enter a low-realm competition unless she has another goal…?"*
Just then, Lady Yuexian appeared beside him without a sound.
> "Change into a clean robe. You'll meet the princess today."
"What? Me?"
"She's going to stay in the sect for a week before the competition. I'm assigning you as her assistant while she adjusts to our sect's customs."
Lin Yuan's stomach turned. "But—"
"Relax. You're still a 'junior sister' to her. And your disguise is flawless—unless you're planning to let her see you without clothes?"
Lin Yuan turned crimson. "No!"
"Then go prepare. She'll arrive in a few hours."

**Hours Later**
A shimmering **sky chariot**, pulled by four jade-plumed spirit birds, descended into the outer courtyard. Dozens of disciples stood lined up to greet the royal guest.
From within the chariot stepped a young woman in blue silk robes embroidered with golden stars.
She wore a **veil**, but her eyes alone were enough to stir envy—cool, intelligent, with the elegance of nobility and the hidden sharpness of a sword.
The princess of Liu Kingdom.
Lin Yuan stepped forward, bowed gracefully, and greeted her in his softest, most practiced voice.
> "Junior Sister Lin greets Your Highness. I've been assigned as your guide."
The princess looked at him.
Her gaze lingered.
Then narrowed—just slightly.
> "You… don't seem like a simple disciple."
Lin Yuan kept his head low, smiling politely. "I assure you, I'm quite average."
The princess said nothing, but her eyes didn't waver.
