A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 221: He Really Used a Killing Move!?

"Nascent Soul, what are you hiding for!!" Li Xuanxiao shouted angrily.

The Nascent Soul responded with its actions.

Scared, weak, trembling, cold.

Li Xuanxiao: ........

This is my Nascent Soul?

Li Xuanxiao silently facepalmed.

Is it really true that a Nascent Soul reflects its master’s personality?

Get your *ss back in there!

Li Xuanxiao scolded.

The Nascent Soul finally returned reluctantly.

Still trying to stay half-covered like it was playing coy.

(/ω＼)

It stared warily at the other Nascent Soul with a sword in hand and a phantom chessboard at its feet.

"Get back in there!!"

Under Li Xuanxiao’s repeated urging, the Nascent Soul had no choice but to return into the Purple Mansion, establishing the twin bridge of spirit and flesh.

Li Xuanxiao was puzzled.

What the heck was going on?

Why did his Nascent Soul seem so strange?

Li Xuanxiao remembered how Nascent Souls were supposed to work.

At the early stage, the Nascent Soul just formed inside the Dantian's Purple Mansion.

It would appear about three inches tall, floating and semi-transparent.

At that stage, it could leave the body briefly to observe the environment but couldn’t fight.

At the mid stage, the Nascent Soul could absorb spiritual energy on its own.

It could not only scout but also leave the body to fight enemies.

At the perfected stage...

The Nascent Soul would have its own personality and be capable of dual cultivation with the main body.

Even if the body was destroyed, the Nascent Soul could seize another body and reincarnate. Their auras would be perfectly aligned.

But his Nascent Soul had just been born and already showed signs of its own personality.

Li Xuanxiao was utterly baffled.

What in the world is going on!?

Before he could figure it out...

On the other side...

"Li... Li Xuanxiao!!! I... I’ll bite you to death."

Only now did Li Xuanxiao snap back to reality.

He turned his head and looked at Di Nü Feng crawling on the ground.

Hmm. His cultivation had broken through.

That meant Di Nü Feng wasn’t fake.

Li Xuanxiao hesitated briefly and quickly helped her up.

But Di Nü Feng immediately collapsed onto him and tried to bite him.

Too bad she was too weak now.

"Di Nü Feng? What are you doing here?" Li Xuanxiao asked, confused.

Di Nü Feng panted heavily, "That... that’s what I should be asking you!"

Li Xuanxiao looked her over. Her clothes were in tatters.

No—that’s not right. She was basically naked.

Only the black cloth from earlier was barely covering her body.

"How’d you end up like this?"

"You still have the nerve to ask! I was already beaten up badly, and then I blocked that d**n heavenly tribulation for you.

What the h*ll did you do to provoke such a divine wrath? That tribulation was so strong it nearly killed me..."

Di Nü Feng lay on Li Xuanxiao, speaking while gasping for breath.

She couldn’t even catch it properly.

Li Xuanxiao tried to take a step back, but Di Nü Feng clung to him like a dogskin plaster.

"You... you need to take responsibility for me!"

"Huh?"

Why did that line sound so weird?

"Someone’s chasing you?"

"Mm..."

Before Di Nü Feng could respond, Li Xuanxiao’s mechanism puppet sensed something was off.

No—something’s wrong!!

At the same time—

The black-robed figure who was searching for Di Nü Feng also detected the mechanism puppet.

"Go!"

RUMBLE—

The puppet exploded into dust on the spot.

Li Xuanxiao’s expression changed.

That black robe... the Old Emperor!?

There was someone else with the Old Emperor.

The Old Emperor was already at the Tribulation Stage.

If the two of them could surround Di Nü Feng, then the other person must also be at least at the Tribulation Stage.

Two Tribulation Stage cultivators!!

Li Xuanxiao turned to run.

But Di Nü Feng wrapped around him like an octopus.

"Di Nü Feng! Stop holding on! This is it, this might be where our fate ends!"

Di Nü Feng: "No! I’ll never give up on you, not even to the ends of the earth or through life and death!"

Li Xuanxiao, eyes tearing up: "Don’t be stupid, idiot. There’s... there’s no way we can be together."

Di Nü Feng: "Why? Why!?"

"..........."

The two stared into each other’s eyes, their lines dripping with emotion.

Only their actual actions were far from romantic.

Li Xuanxiao slammed his fist into Di Nü Feng’s chest, then quickly changed spots to keep hitting.

Di Nü Feng retaliated with a Guillotine move, stabbing her fingers right for Li Xuanxiao’s eyes.

(￣ε(#￣)

Li Xuanxiao: "Let go of me now, or we’re both gonna die here."

Di Nü Feng: "If we die, we die together! Take me with you! This is all your fault!"

Li Xuanxiao roared: "Like h*ll I’m dying with you!"

w(ﾟДﾟ)w!!!

Di Nü Feng jabbed her fingers at his eyes again. "We’re allies! Have you forgotten?"

"When disaster strikes, everyone flies solo—haven’t you heard!?"

"You said we were the best team in the world!"

"I can’t handle two Tribulation Stage enemies! I’d just slow you down!"

"I don’t care! This is all because of you... You have to take responsibility... I only lived because of you—otherwise I’d have been fried to death by that lightning! Don’t you have even a shred of gratitude?"

"Nope! What the h*ll is that? Let me go! They’ll be on us any second now!"

Li Xuanxiao tried to shake off her grip.

He really went in with a killing move.

But sadly, he soon realized—there was no way he was getting rid of Di Nü Feng any time soon.

"............."

BOOM—!!

The black-robed man stepped on empty air and blinked forward.

Wherever he passed, the space behind him rippled violently.

"Where are they?"

The black-robed man swept the area with his Divine Sense.

Someone was going through a tribulation here!

He raised his head again.

To draw out such a terrifying heavenly tribulation—was there another Tribulation Stage cultivator here?

He frowned slightly.

Could it be Di Nü Feng had another trick up her sleeve?

With a wave of his hand—instantly, thousands of miles away...

A figure underground was yanked up by the head.

The black-robed man locked onto the target with his Divine Sense—just a decoy?

"Let me see through you!"

He instantly shattered all the decoy’s disguises.

Its true form... was an octopus leg!?

The black-robed man flicked his hand again.

"A teleportation array? Hmph, not bad."

".........."

Thousands of miles away—

Li Xuanxiao’s pre-set teleportation array had already transported him and Di Nü Feng far from danger.

That teleportation array had cost him a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

Long-distance teleportation arrays were ridiculously expensive.

Luckily, he had Shangguan Suiyun’s treasure vault. Otherwise, just this one array would have emptied him out.

Now on the vast icy plain, Li Xuanxiao dragged Di Nü Feng along.

He quickly dug out the Concealment Talisman he had buried beforehand.

This talisman could even avoid detection from Body Fusion Stage Divine Senses—but only under strict conditions.

First, the distance had to be far enough.

Second, the user couldn’t release any spiritual energy—not even a tiny bit, or else cultivators at the Body Fusion or Tribulation Stage would sense it.
