Chapter 114 - Chapter 114: The Second Princess and the Fifth Princess of Heaven!

"Leo, are you okay?""Are you hurt?"Suppressing the astonishment in his voice, the heavenly general stepped forward, eyes filled with concern as he questioned Leo.Leo let out a long, shaky breath. His gaze dropped to the spiritual sword lying on the misty ground before him—a slender blade with a green hilt, now lifeless and still. The memory of what had just transpired sent a chill down his spine."I'm fine," Leo replied at last, his voice calm but weary. He cast a glance at the heavenly general, then looked away.Just moments earlier, he had been forced to act in desperation. Although he couldn't summon the full strength of the [Heavenly Hand Power], Leo had relied on more than brute strength alone. He had summoned the massive golden sphere known as the [Spirit · Truth-Seeking Ball], and at the same time, he unleashed the tremendous force of his three eyes.Each eye brimmed with a distinct, formidable power.Blood Qifei!Luna!Both forces, ancient and terrifying, surged forth from his pupils, each wielding a different arcane magic. They had tried—valiantly—to suppress and counter the terrifying energy of the sword that had nearly ended him.In the end, it took the combined strength of the golden [Truth-Seeking Ball], the blood magic of Qifei, and the divine lunar power of the Moon Goddess to deflect the deadly strike from the green spiritual sword. Now, the weapon rested quietly on the ground, no longer glowing with killing intent.Having escaped this unexpected brush with death, Leo felt an uncharacteristic wave of fatigue wash over him. It had been decades since he'd last felt so drained—so human.Just as he set foot in this so-called "Heaven," the realm had thrown him an ambush powerful enough to kill a lesser being on the spot."Leo... what exactly are you?" the heavenly general murmured, now studying him with a mix of awe and suspicion.Leo remained silent, his body still cloaked in the divine aura of Six Paths mode. His three eyes glowed with distinct colors and shapes, exuding a mysterious power. The general stared harder. The realization hit him like thunder."Innate magical power..."The words echoed in his mind, and he trembled.Leo possessed innate magical powers—an extremely rare trait even in the celestial realms. But more than that, it was a power of perception. Could it be… a divine eye technique? Something akin to the fabled clairvoyance wielded by Erlang Shen Yang Jian himself?Just as this thought struck the general, a sharp whistling sound broke through the air.Whoosh—A streak of vibrant orange light shot toward them from the distance, shimmering brightly against the backdrop of the ethereal sky.Within moments, it transformed into a beautiful figure—radiant and commanding."The Second Princess!" the heavenly general exclaimed with reverence. He immediately dropped to one knee, his expression filled with awe and respect.Leo, however, remained unmoved. His eyes flicked from the sword to the figure now descending before him.Despite the confusion, one question circled the general's mind like a buzzing insect: Why was the spiritual sword—clearly green—linked to the Second Princess, who was dressed in orange? But he quickly brushed the thought aside. In the celestial realm, the royal sisters often acted in concert. The color of their weapons mattered little in the larger picture."Where's my fifth sister?" the Second Princess demanded, her tone firm and irritated. Her bright orange gown shimmered like sunlight, and her fiery presence was as commanding as it was captivating."Reporting, Your Highness. We haven't seen the Fifth Princess," the general replied with a respectful bow.The Second Princess narrowed her eyes, then turned toward Leo. She scrutinized him carefully, her gaze lingering on his three open eyes."Who is he?" she asked after a pause.The heavenly general hesitated. Leo remained standing, refusing to bow. His expression was calm, indifferent—even cold."Leo, kneel immediately!" the general hissed. "You're in the presence of the Second Princess of Heaven!"But Leo didn't budge.He stood tall, Six Paths energy swirling around him, his three eyes still open—two with the Rinnegan-Saringan fused with nine magatama, and the third on his forehead glowing like a divine golden moon.Rather than take offense, the Second Princess looked even more intrigued."You look… unusual. And those three eyes—each of them is completely different from what we've ever seen before."Despite Leo's defiance, she seemed more fascinated than insulted. Her gaze studied his features like that of a scholar examining an ancient artifact."Second Princess, please forgive him. He has just ascended from the lower realm and does not yet understand the etiquette of the heavenly court," the heavenly general explained hastily. "Leo, bow now!""Let it go. Ignorance is no crime," the Second Princess said softly, waving her hand in dismissal.Then, without hesitation, she gestured at the green spirit sword lying at Leo's feet.A soft pulse of divine magic shimmered from her fingers, lifting the sword from the ground and calling it gently into her hand.The moment she grasped it, a flash of annoyance crossed her otherwise regal face."Fifth Sister, you little trickster..." she muttered to herself. "When I catch you, I'll make sure you regret sneaking up on me during my cultivation again."With the sword safely in hand, she turned her attention back to Leo.Her eyes lingered on him a second longer. But this time, her curiosity was laced with something else—interest? Suspicion? Perhaps both.And then, in a flash of orange light, she soared into the sky and vanished from sight.Only silence remained.The heavenly general who had been kneeling rose slowly to his feet and turned to Leo."It's over," he said with a sigh, seemingly unsure of what to make of the situation.Leo, however, did not respond. Instead, his three eyes turned toward the grand gate of Feisheng Mansion behind them.Something stirred."What's wrong, Leo?" the general asked, confused by Leo's sudden tension.Before Leo could answer, a sharp sound split the air—Zheng—!A second green light shot out from the entrance to the Feisheng Mansion.Moments later, it formed into a shape—a graceful, beautiful woman clad in a long, flowing green dress."The Fifth Princess?!" the general gasped, eyes wide.He quickly dropped to one knee again and saluted. "Greetings, Fifth Princess!"The newcomer smiled gently. Her beauty was no less than her sister's—perhaps even greater. There was a charm to her, a softness in her eyes, and a playful smile on her lips that made her presence feel less imperial and more enchanting."Please, there's no need for such formalities. Stand," she said warmly, waving her hand."Thank you, Your Highness," the general replied, rising to his feet.Then he turned slightly, motioning toward Leo."Fifth Princess, this is—"But before he could finish, the Fifth Princess stepped forward, her eyes wide with curiosity. She approached Leo, examining his face—his three open eyes in particular."Your eyes… You could see me just now, couldn't you?"Her voice was light and playful, but laced with wonder.Just moments earlier, she had used a high-level invisibility spell to hide behind the stone lion near the mansion gates—successfully eluding her sister's gaze.Or so she thought.Until she felt the intense stare of Leo's golden moon eye lock onto her precise position.She had no doubt: he had seen her.With a gleam in her eye, she leaned closer and studied him carefully."Don't tell me you're like that annoying Erlang Shen—Yang Jian. Do you have some kind of divine vision too?"Her voice was a soft murmur, almost a whisper, as she examined each eye in fascination.Leo remained expressionless, his body still radiating Six Paths power. His three eyes remained open—two like whirlpools of red and black, the third shining with golden light.The Fifth Princess tilted her head slightly, still intrigued.Leo, however, only stared at her in silence. Behind the calm of his face, emotions churned.He hadn't forgotten the sword.The same green spirit sword that had nearly killed him.Even though it had been wielded by the Fifth Princess—likely in jest or by accident—it was still a lethal attack.Leo's fingers twitched ever so slightly as he fought to suppress the rising surge of murderous intent building within him.For now, he said nothing.But deep within his mind, a storm was brewing.---Word Count: ~2000 wordsChanges Applied:Name "Chen Yiban" changed to "Leo" throughout.Grammar corrected and narrative improved for clarity and flow.Dialogue and character emotions expanded for deeper engagement.
