Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 606: It’s My Turn to Protect You Now

Yu Changfeng sprayed saliva as he cursed loudly, taking a full ten minutes to calm down before finally saying, "I'm leaving." Paths diverge; we cannot scheme together.

He felt that he could not stay with Chen Pingping. This bastard was no good person. He had sensed it the first time they met.

As a result, Chen Pingping had fooled Fairy Valley, stolen the Three-legged Immortal Cauldron, and somehow made him a Protector. And now… he'd hoodwinked him into entering the Northern Border to slay the Demon Emperor!

"Please wait, Senior," Yue Wuxia suddenly called out.

"What do you want?" Yu Changfeng asked with a dark face, cursing, "You're no good person either."

He could never have dreamed that a member of the Human Clan and the daughter of a Demon Emperor would end up together, even shouting about slaying the Demon Emperor.

Damn it, a pair of madmen!

Without waiting for Yue Wuxia to speak, Yu Changfeng hurriedly said, "Don't try to persuade me. This time, no matter what, I must leave…"

His teeth were gritted, his gaze determined.

Yue Wuxia blinked and said playfully, "I heard that thousands of years ago, the Northern Demon Emperor found a brass fragment that fell from beyond our realm."

Yu Changfeng was taken aback. "????" Eh!

Yue Wuxia sighed. "A brass fragment! It's very likely a piece of the legendary Immortal Cauldron, sharing the same origin as the cauldron in your possession, Senior. If you could find it, perhaps you could restore the ancient cauldron to its former glory. It's a pity... since you insist on leaving, then so be it!"

What the heck? There's such a thing?

Yu Changfeng's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and quickly said, "Nonsense! How could I leave? I was just joking to lighten the mood. You must understand, the Northern Demon Emperor is brutal, bloodthirsty, and a murderous fiend—a disgrace to the ranks of Great Emperors! Such scum... I must personally send him to heaven…"

As he spoke, he quickly leaned in. "Young lady, about that brass fragment you mentioned… you didn't trick me, did you?"

Yue Wuxia nodded. "Of course not. My mother told me herself."

Oh, oh, oh! The words of the White Emperor herself!

Yu Changfeng smiled radiantly, inwardly thrilled.

There was one fact he hadn't mentioned. The ancient cauldron in his hands was incomplete; it had shattered hundreds of thousands of years ago. The body of the cauldron had broken into fragments, which fell into various regions. Later, most of the cauldron's body sank into the lands of the Nine Heavens and was obtained by the sovereigns of various imperial dynasties. Eventually… this ancient cauldron fell into Yu Changfeng's hands. He had constantly been trying to repair it, or to reconstitute the God within and allow it to undergo Tao Verification to become an Emperor Weapon. Unfortunately, he had failed every time.

Heh heh!

Chen Pingping secretly gave Yue Wuxia a thumbs-up and whispered, "Still gotta rely on Big Brother."

"Pingping, don't worry. Big Brother will definitely help you take down the Demon Emperor…" Yue Wuxia's gaze was resolute. "That old man actually dared to bully this young lady's little brother; he's truly despicable!"

Chen Pingping remained silent. Although something about her words felt off, he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

This little girl is strange. She has no grudge against the Demon Emperor, so why is she so eager to help me? Is it really because of our encounter on the Wind Cloud List? Or is it because…

As he thought about it, Chen Pingping suddenly grew alarmed. She's taken a liking to me! After all, I'm so handsome and dashing, talented and strong. Across the lands of Southern Diaspora, countless girls pine for me. It would be perfectly normal for Yue Wuxia to fall for me. So, for my sake, she even stole an Emperor Weapon…

At this thought, Chen Pingping felt both moved and terrified. He was touched that this girl would take such enormous risks for him—stealing an Emperor Weapon, planning to slay the Demon Emperor. But he was also terrified that she might suddenly try to overpower him! What if she knocked him out and forcibly took him back to Monster Emperor City? Her mother is the White Emperor, an invincible being! Suppressing him would be a piece of cake for her, wouldn't it? At that point, he'd have no choice but to submit to Yue Wuxia, and then they'd end up having a whole brood of little Demon Race children! Good heavens… Just thinking about it made Chen Pingping break out in a cold sweat.

The way he looked at Yue Wuxia changed significantly.

"Let me tell you, that old fellow, the Demon Emperor, is really nasty. I've met her before..." Yue Wuxia leaned in.

「Elsewhere.」

Guang Xiaoyu and her group had also found their way here. She beamed, her beauty on full display as she let the sunlight dapple her cheeks. Her large, dark eyes gazed into the depths of Dayan as she chuckled softly, "This Emperor has returned."

Li Qi was panicking. He hadn't expected Xiao Yu to actually take action. She didn't even plan to contact their Master and was determined to slay the Demon Emperor alone.

Wuxian, by his side, was even more frantic.

During their time in the Ancient City, they had rehearsed such a scenario countless times: he would lead his clansmen into the Northern Border, personally slay the Demon Emperor, and reclaim their territory. But that was, after all, just a rehearsal, a script, a flight of fancy.

He had never expected that upon the Demon Emperor's return, she would bring him directly to the Northern Border.

I'm still so young, he really wanted to blurt out. Maybe we could wait until I'm older?

But seeing Guang Xiaoyu's fiercely determined expression, he didn't dare utter a word. He could only follow with a grim face, tightly clutching half a stick of incense.

"Senior Brother, it's been such a long time since we last met."

"Senior Brother, you've always been the one protecting me. Now, it's my turn to protect you."

"Heh heh… After this Emperor slays the Demon Emperor and then announces the return of the Demon Emperor, everyone will be stunned! You'll be no exception, right, Senior Brother?" Guang Xiaoyu giggled, her eyes full of longing.

She had always eagerly anticipated this moment. Imagine: that petite, exquisite junior sister with a delicate face and large eyes sparkling with Spirit Qi, the one who always used to trail meekly behind her Senior Brother, revealed as an Emperor Realm powerhouse!

Who could have imagined it? They'll all be dumbfounded, won't they? Even Chen Pingping wouldn't expect this!

"Forward! Destination: the depths of Dayan! We will slay the Demon Emperor and quell the turmoil in the Northern Border!" Guang Xiaoyu's smile vanished, her voice a sharp command.

Emperor Spirit: "..."

THUMP!

Guang Xiaoyu aimed a kick at it, glaring. "Are you trying to rebel?"

WHINE! WHINE!

The Emperor Spirit whimpered, its body trembling faintly. Its pair of eerie, demonic eyes looked pleadingly at Guang Xiaoyu.

It thought, You want to slay the Demon Emperor? Go right ahead! Why drag me into it?

Guang Xiaoyu drew her wooden sword.

The Emperor Spirit shuddered and strode forward.

"Li Qi, you brat!" Guang Xiaoyu yelled.

"I'm here."

"Your mission is to block any Demon Race experts who approach me. Can you do it?" Guang Xiaoyu asked, her expression grave.

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Li Qi responded loudly.

"Very good. The Emperor Spirit will assist you." She looked towards Wuxian. "Great General Wuxian, when you see the Demon Emperor later, do not be afraid. Watch for my signal. When I tell you to light that half-stick of incense, you must light it immediately. It is crucial for slaying the Demon Emperor. Also… there is another half-stick of incense. Do not, under any circumstances, take it out unless it's a critical moment."

Wuxian replied, his voice trembling, "Yes!"

"Young General Anan."

"I'm here."

"You are to stay by Great General Wuxian's side and protect him. Can you do that?"

"I can!"

"Excellent. In this mission to slay the Demon Emperor, success is the only option; failure is not permitted." Guang Xiaoyu took a deep breath. The playful, casual air on her delicate face had vanished, replaced entirely by solemnity and intense focus.

Because she knew very well that slaying an Emperor Realm powerhouse was no easy task.

If it weren't for Chen Pingping's situation, she wouldn't be facing the Demon Emperor now. She certainly wouldn't have chosen to, at least not before reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Unfortunately… The course of life is impossible to predict. Not even the Heavenly Fortune Tao can foresee everything.

Guang Xiaoyu gazed into the depths of Dayan, her dark eyes unwavering, and murmured softly, "It's time to settle all scores, new and old."
