--- Chapter 174 ---

Yu Long arrived at the yard and felt a chill in his spine. 

Xu Nannan carefreely sat on the artificial pond's edge, feeding fish with green-colored pellets. "Hmm, you're here..." She turned around when sensing someone's presence and left Yu Long dumbfounded. 

Her face is that of her thirties self, having very few wrinkles but still appearing very beautiful. 

However, what shocked Yu Long wasn't that. 

Behind Xu Nannan, a massive projection stood firmly. It towered over the surrounding trees and cast a shadow over them. It also has human-like qualities, such as limb-like branches and a crooked face. 

Yes, this is a Treant!

Xu Nannan has been cultivating [Art of Prying Wood] Yu Long tailor-made for her. To Yu Long's surprise, she actually reached such a high mastery to the point of forming her own Profound Manifestation. 

Sometimes, Yu Long forgot his family members are naturally gifted. 

'I guess Grandpa's words of Noble's duty are indeed true. He really considered Grandma's bloodline when performing his duty.' Yu Long thought to himself. 

'9th Princess. Although her position might be the lowest, her talent is probably one of the best in the Grand Asura Kingdom's Royal Family.' 

'In the original story, Grand Asura Kingdom's Royal Family got wiped by the Phoenix Sect, yet my Grandma is here and still kicking on. There must be something going on here.' 

Xu Nanan smiled and patted the ground, "What are you standing there for? Sit here. Grandma has a story to tell." 

Before Yu Long could reply, a thick root dragged him to the spot beside Xu Nannan and bound him there. 

"Grandma, why did you do this?" Yu Long asked with a frown. 

Xu Nannan giggled and returned, "Just some precaution, dear." 

'Precaution from what?' Yu Long wanted to ask, but he knew it was 'basically' useless to argue with his unreasonable Grandma. 

Xu Nannan is the definition of a kind and fair but very stubborn Grandmother. She wouldn't take a no easily. 

With the increase of her cultivation base, Xu Nannan stood in the top five spots of the most fearsome experts in the Lost Heaven Sect. 

"Don't be so stiff and look so solemn." Xu Nannan kept feeding the fish with pellets. "Grandma wanted to tell you my life story." 

"This will be a long one. Do you want snacks?" 

Even though Yu Long could run away with no problem, he sighed and still gave in, "Do you have those caramelized sugar-coated citrus slices?" 

"Of course." Xu Nannan set boxes of caramelized sugar-coated citrus slices for her dear grandson. She also freed one of Yu Long's arms so he could grab and eat them.

Watching Yu Long enjoy the caramelized sugar-coated citrus slices, Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Okay, Grandma will start the story..." 

...

Years ago. 

Before the Divine Phoenix Sect showed itself, the Grand Asura Kingdom was one of the Great Seven Nations. They are prominent ones, having many experts and bountiful resources.

They reigned over the land for a few hundred years until the sign of the Divine Phoenix Sect appeared. 

At first, the Grand Asura Kingdom's Royal Family ignored it because the Divine Phoenix Sect grew very slowly. Yes, at a snail-like pace. 

Then, a member of the Branch Family passed the Divine Phoenix Trial and obtained the Phoenix's Bloodline! It was the first burst of strength the Divine Phoenix Sect had, allowing them to recruit more members. 

Of course, just one member won't change much. 

Nevertheless, the person who passed and obtained Phoenix's Bloodline married and passed his bloodline to his children. It was like a rock thrown on calm water, causing a continuous ripple. 

In just fifty years, the Branch Family soared to the sky like a Divine Phoenix ascending to heaven. Their family members became prominent figures in the Grand Asura Kingdom, and the Royal Family didn't like it. 

The atmosphere in the Grand Asura Kingdom smelt like gunpowder since then. It can explode at any time. 

The Grand Asura Kingdom's Royal Family tried to wipe the Divine Phoenix Sect down but failed many times. Instead of backing down, the Divine Phoenix Sect became mightier than ever. 

Another fifty years later. The Branch Family launched a coup and took over the capital. 

Of course, the Royal Family didn't take this lying down and fought to bitter ends. It was not until five centuries passed that the second Emperor of the Grand Asura Kingdom made a deal with the Ancient Profound Beast and passed down Treant's Bloodline to his children. 

The former Emperor of the Grand Asura Kingdom had sixty sons and nine daughters. Overall, he sired sixty-nine children. 

Yes, Feng Nannan was the youngest royalty at the time. 

Because of the civil war, the Royal Family had limited resources, and only some of the Second Emperor's children could show their talents. And Feng Nannan was one of the unfortunate ones. 

At twelve, she was an outcast due to her low Cultivation Base and was sent to the enemy's territory as a spy. After some bizarre events, she somehow made friends with some members of the Branch Family.

To think she would become closer to the distant family member than her own biological family. Although Feng Nannan shared the same bloodline as the Branch Family, it was only a sliver from the lineage of five hundred years ago, making it more ironic. 

Unknowingly, these friends are also the ones who saved Feng Nannan's life in the future. 

Feng Nannan becomes a double agent. She knew Grand Asura Kingdom's struggle against the overpowering Divine Phoenix Sect would end some days. 

Did she betray the Grand Asura Kingdom's Royal Family? 

Yes.

Did she regret it? 

No. 

At the age of twenty, Feng Nannan was about to send a message back to the Royal Family and told them to hold back for a few weeks, but she fell into a random cliff and entered a comatose state for an unknown period. 

Miraculously, a youth named Ye Sanshan fell into the same cliff years later and awakened Feng Nannan from her deep slumber. From his description, Feng Nannan's whole body was 'seemingly' sealed in green crystal made of transparent wood. 

As they stayed on a cliff, they became closer and fell in love with each other. 

Upon returning to the surface, they even married without the Grand Asura Kingdom knowing. To Feng Nannan's surprise, she has been sleeping for three hundred years!

The Royal Family is no more. 

Even though the remaining members of the Royal Family have formed a rebellion force, which was 'surprisingly' led by her elder brothers, Feng Nannan knows they have no chance of winning.

Her elder brothers thought Feng Nannan had died, but she actually returned stronger. 

They even urged her to join the Rebellion force to regain the Grand Asura Kingdom. Such a dreamy plan left Feng Nannan with no choice but to agree. 

When they attacked the Divine Phoenix Sect's branch, some members launched an overwhelming counterattack and wiped out the rebellion force. 

Surprisingly, they spared Feng Nannan alone because they recognized her not-aging appearance. Those members are Feng Nannan's old friends from a hundred years ago. They have become prominent elders of the Divine Phoenix Sect.

One of the elders is the Divine Phoenix Empire's Royal Family Prince, Feng Tianwei. 

Feng Tianwei was shocked to see Feng Nannan again. 

Not only Feng Nannan didn't age, but her bloodline's potency and quality were also higher than his Phoenix's Bloodline.

Because of this, Feng Tianwei shamelessly asked for Feng Nannan's hand for marriage. Feng Nannan's husband, Ye Sanshan, won't let that happen and fought Feng Tianwei for weeks to a draw.

Once again, Feng Tianwei was shocked. 

He also detected an extraordinary bloodline from Ye Sanshan but couldn't recognize it for some reason. Of course, Ye Sanshan wouldn't reveal his background as the Prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family to others.

Well, Feng Tianwei had a different idea. He thought the union of Feng Nannan and Ye Sanshan's Bloodlines would create a monster in the future.

With that in mind, Feng Tianwei laughed and made an agreement with Feng Nannan. If Feng Nannan and Ye Sanshan made a great descendant in the future, that descendent of theirs shall get engaged with a talented member of Feng Tianwei's family. 

After that, Feng Nannan and Ye Sanshan left and hid on the border of the Divine Phoenix Empire. Feng Nannan exchanged letters with Feng Tianwei now and then, giving life updates to an old friend. 

Only recently, Feng Nannan started mentioning her grandson, Yu Long, to the other side. She received a shocking response a while ago, leading to a possible engagement of Yu Long and Feng Tianwei's granddaughter.

Feng Nannan knew that Feng Tianwei issued this matter because Yu Long was the Lost Heaven Sect's young leader. She couldn't wait to see her old friend's shocked expression after knowing Yu Long was more than that. 

...

"..." Yu Long stared at Xu Nannan dumbly. 

"First of all, you lived an interesting life, Grandma." He breathed deeply.

"Second..."

"Can I reject this engagement?" 

Xu Nannan blinked wickedly and responded with a giggle, "Hehe, No." 

'Damn it, you owe a life debt, and I'm the one paying it.' Yu Long was speechless.

"We will visit the Divine Phoenix Empire in a week or so. Prepare yourself because I heard your fiancee is the Number One Beauty of the Profound Sky Continent." After saying that, she gave Yu Long a pinch on the cheek and walked away gleefully. 

"I hope Tianwei's old bones shook when meeting you!" 

"Kukuku, My grandson is no ordinary person~!" 

Watching Xu Nannan's back, Yu Long's face couldn't help but twitch in helplessness. 

"Feng Tianwei..."

"Number One Beauty in the Profound Sky Continent." 

"Wait, don't tell me my fiancee is..." Yu Long stood motionlessly with a bewildered expression. He gazed into the distance and cursed, "Fuck, this must happen because I shattered Yun Che's fate." 

"His nonsense protagonist fate went to me instead." No wonder Yu Long felt his Golden Karmic Thread become bigger, even though he didn't do anything much recently. 

"God damn it!!"
