Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 550 You’re Too Unlucky

As the geniuses gradually dispersed, it signified that the battle of the Wind Cloud List had completely come to an end, yet they all knew that the struggle among the younger generation had just begun.

Those top-tier geniuses remained, not yet having left.

Meanwhile, of the two women who had tied for first place on the Wind Cloud List, one returned to the Demon Race, and the other disappeared from this land.

"It’s too strange. Never mind tying for first place, but to actually come out of the Wind Cloud List alive? That’s different from before..."

"The rankings are problematic as well. That girl, Chen Shixian, her strength isn’t bad, but... she’s far from reaching the level of the three geniuses from the Ancient City. And then there’s Yue Wuxia..."

"Indeed."

"Chen Pingping, with such formidable combat power, was ranked tenth..."

People discussed these points, and speculation abounded.

「Night fell.」

In an inn within a certain Ancient City, Jiang Ni’er was on the rooftop, her expression calm as she gazed at the bright moon.

Before long, footsteps approached from behind.

It was Lan Qingshui.

Seeing Jiang Ni’er here, she was quite surprised. "You can’t sleep either?"

Jiang Ni’er smiled. "What about you?"

Lan Qingshui nodded. "Me neither."

They didn’t know each other well, but Lan Qingshui was about to join the Wuji Sect, meaning they would soon be fellow disciples. That, and the fact they were both women, perhaps drew them together. Under the tranquil night sky, the two women found themselves chatting away as if they were long-lost friends.

Lan Qingshui shared her past experiences.

Jiang Ni’er enlightened her about the Wuji Sect.

Soon, another figure arrived—Wen Qingshan.

"Such bad luck, such bad luck..." he grumbled, about to turn and leave.

Then, a fourth person appeared.

Shisan.

The newcomers looked at each other. Then, to the surprise of Jiang Ni’er and Lan Qingshui, Shisan and Wen Qingshan suddenly embraced, choking up without a word.

The two women: "..."

What a harsh fate! they seemed to think. From now on, they would lose their freedom; they would live in Chen Pingping’s shadow. At this thought, the two men held each other even tighter.

"What are they doing?" Jiang Ni’er couldn’t help but ask.

"Who knows!" Lan Qingshui shook her head.

Wen Qingshan pushed Shisan away, saying with frustration, "You’re so unlucky."

Yes, Shisan was indeed unlucky. He wasn’t a Divine Body, nor did he possess astonishing talents like Gu Mang; he was just an unnoticed individual among the masses. He could have lived freely, but a single sentence from Jiang Ni’er had completely stripped him of that freedom. Now, hearing Wen Qingshan’s words, Shisan felt like crying.

"Sister, what did you see in me?" Shisan’s eyes brimmed with tears as he looked at Jiang Ni’er. "Just tell me, and I’ll change..."

"I saw that you’re still alive," Jiang Ni’er blinked.

"..."

"You little rascal, I, your sister, am actually saving you," Jiang Ni’er looked at him askance. "Not only are you not grateful, but you’re also resenting me?"

Shisan stared with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

Save him? By recruiting him into the Wuji Sect? To serve the Wuji Sect? How is that any different from the domineering actions of people like Qin Meng?

Jiang Ni’er continued, "You face a calamity. The person who guided you into the sect must have told you that you wouldn’t live long. But if you follow me, you can live."

Lan Qingshui was astonished. "Is that true?"

Shisan was stunned. "How do you know?"

Jiang Ni’er merely curled her lips, offering no explanation.

Nearby, Wen Qingshan sat down and looked up at the moon, declaring arrogantly, "Even if this young master has joined the Wuji Sect, I won’t submit easily. Given time, I will surely suppress the many experts in the Wuji Sect, including Chen Pingping, Zi Ji, oh, and that little black dog."

"What little black dog?" Shisan raised his head.

"You can’t even beat a little black dog?" Lan Qingshui asked.

"..." Wen Qingshan’s face darkened, and he refused to speak.

Just then, a figure tiptoed into Zi Ji’s room. From their vantage point, the four on the rooftop saw everything clearly.

It was Chen Pingping.

They exchanged another look, their eyes wide with surprise.

"Little Junior Sister, Little Junior Sister? Are you asleep?" Chen Pingping called out in a hushed voice.

"Senior Brother, I’m not asleep."

"Great! Get up quickly. Come with your Senior Brother; we have something important to do," Chen Pingping said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"What is it? Can’t it wait until tomorrow?"

"No way! This matter is urgent..." Chen Pingping replied.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the four, he led Zi Ji away, and they soon disappeared from sight.

Sensing something was fishy, they quickly got up and stealthily followed.

「A deserted spot in the mountains.」

Chen Pingping asked, "Little Junior Sister, what realm are you at exactly?"

Zi Ji answered, "I really don’t know!"

"Hit me with all your strength, let’s see..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, come on!" Chen Pingping took a deep breath.

Zi Ji’s cultivation was too strange. She clearly never put in much effort, yet her realm and combat power skyrocketed, allowing her to effortlessly suppress even Saint Realm experts. Is she even human?

He decided to test her to see the true extent of Zi Ji’s combat power.

BANG!

Zi Ji raised her fist and punched Chen Pingping fiercely, sending him flying.

It was swift and clean. His body flew for tens of miles, only slowing after crashing through several mountains.

Chen Pingping’s face contorted. Checking his chest, he found a huge, bloody hole. He quickly swallowed a Spirit Pill, then returned to where Zi Ji stood, his voice sounding somewhat ethereal. "Little Junior Sister, I didn’t say start."

Zi Ji looked a bit embarrassed.

"Now... start..." As his words fell, another punch came hurtling toward him.

This time, he flew even further. Besides the bloody hole in his chest, his bones were broken, his Zhou Tian circulation was blocked, his Dantian was in turmoil, and his physical body had nearly disintegrated.

Chen Pingping was stunned.

He was at the Ninth Heaven of the Lord realm. With the special nature of his cultivation and the power he had accumulated, his body had been thoroughly refined. Every inch of his flesh and blood, every bone, even his skin, was incomparably strong. His physical body was more demonic than the Demon Race, more alien than the Alien Race. Yet, he couldn’t withstand a single punch from Zi Ji.

A few minutes later, he returned to the spot again, silently circulated his Cultivation Technique, took a deep breath, and said, "Come on!"

BANG!

The third punch crashed down. Chen Pingping’s body completely disintegrated, flesh and blood scattering into the air. Fortunately, he managed to protect his Divine Soul just in time.

He then quickly reassembled his body.

Zi Ji, startled, hurried over. "Senior Brother? Are you alright?"

"..." The corner of Chen Pingping’s mouth twitched.

"Maybe we should head back?" Zi Ji suggested, seeming to have realized something.

Chen Pingping had asked her to strike with all her strength, but her three attacks, each stronger than the last, indicated she hadn’t even come close to her full power. Yet, the third punch had already shattered his body. What would happen if she struck a fourth time? Would it be an instant kill?

Zi Ji felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Senior Brother, you’re so strong. Look... you even withstood three of my punches!"

Chen Pingping’s face stiffened.

*Even* withstood? Three punches? What’s that supposed to mean? As her Senior Brother, shouldn’t I be able to take all of them? Not just withstand a mere three?

He almost gagged.

This Netherworld princess, how can she be so freakishly strong?

"Oh, Senior Brother, I didn’t mean that..." Zi Ji explained. "I mean, Senior Brother, you are really strong."

HUFF, HUFF! Chen Pingping calmed himself and managed a slight smile. "Little Junior Sister, just now, your Senior Brother used only his physical body to block your three attacks. It’s nothing special. Actually... your Senior Brother is still very strong."

Zi Ji nodded earnestly. "Yes, I know. Senior Brother has always been strong."

Chen Pingping said calmly, "It’s good that you know." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He was both depressed and pleased.

Depressed because he might not be able to beat Zi Ji. He was the Senior Brother, after all! Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he couldn’t even defeat his own Little Junior Sister? Pleased because this little girl certainly knew how to talk!

However, Zi Ji, acting on a sudden impulse, blurted out, "Senior Brother? Were you using just your physical body just now?"

Chen Pingping: "???"

She suddenly grew excited. "So was I!"

Not far away, the four onlookers were utterly dumbfounded.
