After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 35:

Chapter 35: Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Pill, Sun Yazhu — A Dowry of Supreme Aptitude Pill

Everyone instinctively turned to look, only to see a young girl soaring through the sky, appearing atop the courtyard wall in an instant.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, dressed in a flowing blue gown. Petite in stature, her expression carried a playful charm.

“Husband, my Heavenly Pill Holy Land is a bit far away, so I arrived a little late.”

She smiled sweetly and the next moment, she was already standing in front of Xia Feng, her delicate laughter soft and charming.

Heavenly Pill Holy Land?

Could she be the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Pill Holy Land—Sun Yazhu?

Everyone was stunned. They had already guessed her identity.

The ten top-tier Holy Maidens of the Great Xia Empire had now all arrived!

After today, the entire empire would be shaken.

Xingyu City, the Xia family, and Xia Feng would become famous throughout the Great Xia Empire.

“H-Hello…”

Xia Feng didn’t know what to say. After holding it in for a long time, he could only squeeze out two words.

“You’re such a blockhead.”

Sun Yazhu wasn’t angry. She simply giggled, then raised her little hand, and four bottles of pills appeared out of thin air. “This is the dowry I’ve prepared—supreme-grade Power Condensation Pill, Rebirth Pill, Breakthrough Pill, and the Supreme Aptitude Pill. No matter how poor your talent is, once you take the Supreme Aptitude Pill, it will instantly elevate your aptitude to the supreme level.”

“What?!”

Sun Yazhu’s words exploded in everyone’s hearts like a bomb.

A Supreme Aptitude Pill! That was far too precious.

Especially for someone like Xia Feng, who had extremely poor innate talent—this was practically priceless.

Even Xia’s father and mother were visibly shaken.

On the Primordial Heaven Continent, aptitude was ranked: extremely poor, low, average, high, supreme, transcendent, legendary, and monstrous.

All ten top-tier Holy Maidens possessed legendary-level talent, and coupled with their unique physiques, they were on par even with those born with monstrous talent but no special constitution.

“Aptitude Pills are already incredibly rare, and a Supreme Aptitude Pill is nearly impossible to find.”

“More importantly, this Supreme Aptitude Pill is perfectly suited for the Young Lord.”

“In the whole Great Xia Empire, only the Heavenly Pill Holy Land might be capable of producing one.”

People whispered among themselves, completely shocked.

If news of this Supreme Aptitude Pill spread outside, it would cause a bloodbath.

After all, no one could guarantee that their descendants would be born with good talent. But with a Supreme Aptitude Pill, even a complete waste could be elevated to the supreme level!

The heads of the Sun and Li families instinctively swallowed as their eyes flashed with a hint of greed.

But soon, both of them shook their heads heavily and cursed themselves inside.

If they let greed cloud their judgment over something from the Heavenly Pill Holy Land, they probably wouldn’t even know how they died.

Treasure was valuable—but only if you lived to use it!

Xia Feng’s father merely squinted at them without speaking.

The two men gave an awkward laugh, then said, “City Lord Xia, it’s clear that after today, your family will resound throughout the entire Great Xia Empire.”

Xia Feng’s father said nothing, just stared at them steadily. The Sun and Li family heads were so unnerved by his gaze that their scalps tingled. Guilt crept up in their hearts, and they quietly took two steps back.

Finally, Xia’s father sighed softly in his heart. “Becoming famous across the Great Xia Empire was never my wish. If I could, I’d rather he live an ordinary life.”

“Hehe, Husband, you must accept this dowry.”

Under countless envious stares, Sun Yazhu pushed the pill bottles toward Xia Feng with her jade-like hands.

“Especially this Supreme Aptitude Pill. I secretly stole it from my master. You’d better take it quickly—if she comes after us, we’ll be in big trouble.”

Sun Yazhu giggled while mentioning the theft, showing not a trace of nervousness.

Xia Feng stared at the jade bottle containing the Supreme Aptitude Pill and said, “This doesn’t feel right. What if your master actually comes after me?”

Sun Yazhu smiled like it was nothing. “So what? Once you take it, there’s nothing she can do. If she dares to touch you, I’ll smash my head and die in front of her. She dotes on me too much to let that happen.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Clearly, this Holy Maiden had used this kind of trick on her master more than once.

Xia Feng didn’t respond. The truth was, the Supreme Aptitude Pill was exactly what he needed the most right now.

When the other girls saw it, they couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

They never admitted anyone’s dowry was better than their own. But now, the moment this pill appeared, they knew they’d lost.

Not because the pill was definitely more valuable, but because—for Xia Feng—it was the most suitable.

If they could’ve gotten one themselves, they would have. But this kind of pill couldn’t be made by just any alchemist. Only the Heavenly Pill Holy Land had the capability.

“Sun Yazhu, that’s totally unfair,” Xiao Qingxue pouted slightly, sighing.

“Exactly. This is so biased,” the others echoed one after another.

“Hehe, if you had one, you could bring it out too,” Sun Yazhu replied with a cheeky grin.

The girls immediately fell silent. Compete in pills? Who could possibly beat the Heavenly Pill Holy Land? That holy land was practically born for alchemy. More than half of all alchemists in the Great Xia Empire came from there.

Xia Feng looked around at the girls. He opened his mouth several times but didn’t know what to say.

Indeed, what he needed most right now was a Supreme Aptitude Pill to enhance his talent.

Even though he could cultivate in dreams, his aptitude was still abysmal.

He had trained for five hundred years in his dreams and barely reached the 9th stage of the Earth Realm.

Meanwhile, Yun Shan, who’d only cultivated for a few hundred years, was already a Yellow Realm Martial Venerable.

If he could elevate his talent to the supreme level, his cultivation speed wouldn’t fall behind anyone.

But he also remembered—the five top-tier Holy Maidens of the northern region had stood up for him at the engagement banquet and boosted the Xia family’s prestige. And the four top-tier Holy Maidens of the southern region had just saved him and his family from Yun Shan.

They had all helped him and his family.

Would accepting Sun Yazhu now not hurt the others?

At that moment, Qi Wan’er sighed and said to Xia Feng, “Husband, take it. I don’t like that she won, but I know… this is what suits you best right now.”

“Yes, Husband. Go ahead and accept it,” Li Shiqing added.

“Husband, even if you marry her, I’ll be your concubine,” Xiao Qingxue said sweetly.

“Right! We can be your concubines too!” Li Shiqing and Qi Wan’er chimed in one after another.

Sun Yazhu didn’t say anything. She just stared at Xia Feng with hopeful eyes.

Concubines?

Everyone present was stunned when they heard that word.

Come on, these were top-tier Holy Maidens, each with a noble status—yet they were willingly offering to be someone’s concubine?

Couldn’t they take their status and image a little more seriously?

Did they have to act like… total simps?

There were so many men in the world—even legendary prodigies weren’t rare.

Why were they all obsessed with just Xia Feng?
