After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 201 - Holy Son He Yuan? Is He... Handsome?
Holy Son He Yuan? Is He... Handsome?
The technique bestowed by the Empress raised too many suspicions, so An Luo Yi decided not to delve into it for now.
With her punishment finalized, An Luo Yi had no choice but to obey the imperial decree. As a fourth-rank celestial soldier, she was exiled to the frontier.
In Dragon Dynasty, “celestial soldiers” referred to cultivators serving as military personnel, while “celestial servants” were those who worked domestically.
The hierarchy was clear: those below third rank were either celestial soldiers or celestial servants. Upon reaching third rank or higher, one could ascend to the positions of celestial ministers or celestial generals. Ministers wielded immense power locally, while generals commanded armies of celestial soldiers.
As a fourth-rank celestial soldier, An Luo Yi was considered among the elite of her class.
With the Empress’s approval, An Luo Yi chose the harsh and remote northern frontier as her post.
The northern frontier was treacherous, with its greatest threat being the Moon Sect—a demonic sect second only to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in power and influence. Additionally, the north housed an icy secret realm where it was rumored that Feng Yuan, the infamous leader of Spirit Phoenix Sect, was sealed beneath an abyss.
From what An Luo Yi knew, although He Ange was officially labeled as a Moon Sect demonic cultivator, his combat techniques displayed characteristics of Spirit Phoenix Sect.
Either way, both the Moon Sect and Spirit Phoenix Sect were located in the north. By serving at the northern frontier, An Luo Yi hoped to find traces of He Ange. She had too many unanswered questions and needed to confront him face-to-face to uncover the truth.
Her decision proved correct.
Upon arriving at the northern frontier, she quickly heard rumors about Spirit Phoenix Sect from the local celestial soldiers.
“Celestial Soldier Luo Yi, it’s an honor to have you here!”
“We juniors are fortunate to serve alongside the Destined Heroine at the frontier.”
Several fourth- and fifth-rank celestial soldiers knelt on one knee, showing great respect to the newly arrived silver-haired maiden.
Although rumors about the Destined Heroine had turned unfavorable recently, An Luo Yi’s talent remained undeniable. Her near-Divine Transformation cultivation at such a young age was enough to intimidate many lower-ranked celestial soldiers.
Had it not been for her alleged collusion with demonic cultivators, An Luo Yi would still be their unattainable goddess.
But An Luo Yi had no interest in their flattery.
Upon arriving at the northern frontier camp, her first priority—besides familiarizing herself with the environment—was to inquire about Spirit Phoenix Sect from the local soldiers.
Sure enough, her casual questions yielded significant information.
Due to its remote location, frontline intelligence from the northern frontier rarely reached Dragon Dynasty’s interior. Only high-ranking ministers were privy to such details.
By coming here herself, An Luo Yi learned just how active Spirit Phoenix Sect had been recently.
“Celestial Soldier Luo Yi, you may not know this!”
“Recently, the northern frontier has been in turmoil!”

“Just a few days ago, Spirit Phoenix Sect invaded several of our border territories. Those cultists unleashed ferocious abyssal beasts upon our outposts—burning, looting, and committing unspeakable atrocities!”
“And their new Holy Son, He Yuan, is outrageously arrogant! Not only did he lead multiple invasions, but he also publicly insulted our young Dragon General on the battlefield! He shows no respect for the Empress’s authority!”
The celestial soldiers spoke passionately—united in their hatred for Holy Son He Yuan.
Defending the frontier was already a dangerous task. These soldiers were exhausted from battling Moon Sect cultivators daily. Now Spirit Phoenix Sect’s new Holy Son had added to their troubles.
How could they not be anxious?
Reportedly,
Holy Son He Yuan’s movements were unpredictable. He appeared suddenly through abyssal portals, accompanied by hordes of abyssal beasts. His forces struck swiftly before retreating just as quickly.
One day he attacked an eastern outpost—who knew if he’d strike west tomorrow?
The entire northern frontier was on edge. The arrival of a legendary Destined Heroine as reinforcements brought them much-needed hope. Many soldiers eagerly sought her favor—hoping to gain her support.
“Holy Son He Yuan?”
In the camp,
The silver-haired maiden sat on a long bench in her golden dragon robes—one leg crossed over the other—resting her chin on her hand with a hint of curiosity.
Unable to resist,
She asked:
“This Holy Son He Yuan you speak of—what does he look like?”
“Uh...”
Her question left many soldiers momentarily stunned.
After some hesitation,
One reluctantly replied:
“Holy Son He Yuan... always wears a silver phoenix mask and a white robe adorned with abyssal patterns. He appears tall and dignified—handsome and refined...”
“But! Celestial Soldier Luo Yi mustn’t be deceived by his appearance!”
“Exactly! That He Yuan is nothing but a despicable scoundrel—ruthless and hateful!”
Despite their anger,
The soldiers couldn’t deny that the white-robed youth commanding countless abyssal beasts had an air of charisma.
Hearing this,
An Luo Yi raised an eyebrow—her thoughts beginning to align.
A newcomer to Spirit Phoenix Sect... handsome... with the surname “He”...
An Luo Yi was almost certain that this Holy Son He Yuan was none other than He Ange!
However...
She couldn’t understand why someone as gentle as He Ange would commit such atrocities as a tyrant.
It didn’t seem possible. She desperately wanted to uncover the truth behind these actions.
While she pondered,
A commotion erupted outside the camp—
“Dragon General Zi Jing has arrived!!!”
At this announcement,
The camp buzzed with activity.
“Get up! Everyone on your feet! The young general is here for inspection!”
“So young yet already a quasi-third-rank Dragon General—Zi Jing truly lives up to his title as a child of destiny!”
“What a shame... If Celestial Soldier Luo Yi hadn’t been demoted, she might have been his equal...”
Listening to these comments,
An Luo Yi frowned slightly.
She rose from her seat and looked toward the camp entrance—
There stood a young man in golden dragon robes atop a spirit-hoofed warhorse.
Her cold expression betrayed a hint of disdain from deep within her memories.
This loathsome figure... Why was he here at the northern frontier?
...
...
...
“Oh? It seems my senior sister has arrived at the northern frontier...”
“Unfortunately, I’m busy today and can’t deliver her a welcome gift.”
“For now, I’ll refrain from harassing Li Zi Jing’s outposts. Let’s give him some time to plot against An Luo Yi... After all, with the northern frontier being so remote, Li Nanshan can’t intervene. If we want to further diminish An Luo Yi’s loyalty to Dragon Dynasty, it’ll all depend on Li Zi Jing’s efforts!”
In the snowy mountains of the northern secret realm,
A white-robed youth listened as his little spirit bird chirped its report on his shoulder. Smiling faintly,
He felt a tinge of satisfaction.
There would be plenty of opportunities to meet An Luo Yi later.
For now,
He had an appointment elsewhere—
Before stealing his senior sister away from the Empress,
He Ange needed to visit his arranged location—
To lure Duan Yu Yan and her sister away from their captor and into the abyss!
