Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 631 She Must Grow Up Eventually

The upheaval thus came to an end. The demise of the Demon Emperor held profound significance for the Human Clan. For many years to come, at least, the Southern Diaspora would not need to worry about invasions from the Demon Race, allowing them to rest, recuperate, and grow stronger.

Yet, upon seeing Wuxian emerge, many began to worry again.

Wuxian was a descendant of the Demon Emperor Clan, possessing royal blood. Not long ago, in the battle to slay the Demon Emperor, he had lit half an incense stick, summoning the ancient Heroic Spirits, and thus made a great contribution to the war. It was understandable that without him, the Qingfeng lineage could not have slain the Demon Emperor. Although Wuxian was still young, the various talents he displayed during the battle—his identity, his bloodline, and the lighting of the half-incense stick, among other things—made people sense the rise of a great Demon. If he were to grow up, he might one day surpass the Demon Emperor...

The leaders of the Human Clan were fraught with anxiety, itching to make a move. Their subtle killing intention was faint but still caught by Guang Xiaoyu.

Her expression cold, she swept her gaze toward the Human Clan. "If you're not afraid of death, just come."

Guang Xiaoyu realized the problem. Although the Demon Emperor had fallen, the Northern Border was still in turmoil. If not handled well, it was highly possible that Wuxian could meet his end here, let alone control the Northern Border. He wouldn't live to see that day.

Thus, at that moment, she made a choice—she couldn't go back yet. What is started must be finished. Since the beginning, she had chosen to protect the Demon Emperor Clan, and now it was even less likely that she would let go, at least not until Wuxian had sufficient ability to protect himself.

After a reluctant farewell to her fellow disciples, she took Wuxian, Anan, Li Qi, along with the Emperor Spirit, and turned to step into the Northern Border.

The Demon Race of the Northern Border watched with solemn respect. A Wuxian with an extraordinary bloodline who could light half an incense stick and summon ancient Heroic Spirits was enough to cause headaches for the Northern Border's Demon Race. And now, they also had a Demon Emperor to contend with.

The White Emperor, watching from a distance, sighed. "She has changed a lot."

The former Demon Emperor would never have considered these issues. In her eyes, killing them all was the King Tao.

The attendant beside her spoke, "Yes, because she has someone she likes now."

The White Emperor said nothing.

"The one she likes seems very promising. Even the Young Miss is captivated by him."

What in the world?

"Look, the Young Miss even followed them back to the Human Clan," the attendant added with a sigh. "She has grown up."

The White Emperor became angry. "Do you know how to speak?"

The wrath of an Emperor Realm powerhouse is a terrifying thing.

Yet, the attendant remained calm and replied, "My lord, you have confined her for too long."

With just those words, the White Emperor, who had been in a rage just moments ago, fell silent.

How long had she confined her? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

That's right!

The White Emperor remembered: she had always told Yue Wuxia that outside Monster Emperor City was dangerous, and only there, within the Nine Heavens, was safe. For this reason, she had bound Yue Wuxia to Monster Emperor City. But she had forgotten that Yue Wuxia was a living being, a complete individual with a strong sense of autonomy.

"But, Xia'er can't be exposed!" the White Emperor said softly.

"Yes!" the attendant admitted. "My lord, you have protected her so thoroughly for tens of thousands of years. But look at the Emperor Sons in history; has anyone managed to live for tens of thousands of years and still babble incoherently?"

The corners of the White Emperor's mouth twitched. "That description isn't good."

The attendant continued, "I know what you're worried about, my lord. Her father came from a terrifying race, and her veins carry that blood. But... she has to grow up, has to face these issues. If one day you are gone, and I am gone too, who will protect the Young Miss?"

The White Emperor turned away.

"My lord..." The attendant knew the White Emperor had always disliked discussing this topic.

But Yue Wuxia must grow up. She has to experience life, and even face the challenges ahead.

Just as the White Emperor had taken a few steps, she suddenly turned, a cold look in her eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Do you realize what you're saying?"

The attendant gritted her teeth. "The descendants of the Wen Dynasty slew the Demon Emperor. Although no Big Shots lent a hand in this battle, the news will eventually spread. Those people won't allow the Qingfeng lineage to grow. By that time, the entire Nine Heavens will be affected. As an Emperor Realm powerhouse, you naturally cannot avoid it."

"Enough!" the White Emperor bellowed angrily.

"How could you bear to let the Young Miss live alone in this world?"

"I will always protect her," the White Emperor declared.

"My lord..." The attendant's voice trembled as she shook her head, her face deathly pale.

Tens of thousands of years of protection were actually a kind of bondage and, even more, an injustice to Yue Wuxia. The White Emperor concealed the truth and suppressed the bloodline within Yue Wuxia's body, which resulted in her being an Emperor Son but with average strength...

The attendant worried that if catastrophe were to descend, with them caught in cause and effect, who would protect Yue Wuxia then?

The White Emperor, on the other hand, had a different thought, believing that if Yue Wuxia learned the truth and activated her bloodline to cultivate, it would be far scarier than any catastrophe.

A master and servant stood opposed, the very air between them icy cold.

「After a long while...」

The White Emperor retracted her Emperor's might, her gaze imperceptibly revealing pain as she said indifferently, "Find a time to bring her back."

Upon hearing this, the attendant showed delight. "Yes!"

"And casually 'invite' that bastard Chen Pingping to see me," the White Emperor said through gritted teeth. The thought of all the things Yue Wuxia did for Chen Pingping filled her with an urge to revive the Emperor Weapon and wipe him out. That girl actually fled from Monster Emperor City for Chen Pingping, stole the Emperor Weapon for him, and pilfered the Divine Medicine. She even braved a battle with the Demon Emperor for this guy!

Damn it. In the tens of thousands of years that have passed, when have I ever received such treatment?

The attendant wiped away her cold sweat.

"Pingping... You have made great contributions in this battle! When we return, Big Brother must reward you heavily," Yue Wuxia said, holding her head high as they walked.

Along the way, she was animated as she recounted her exploits. She spoke of how she forcefully revived the Emperor Weapon to suppress the Demon Emperor and later, with a heavy heart, took out the Divine Medicine to boost their combat power, allowing them to slay the Demon Emperor.

In short, in the matter of killing the Demon Emperor, she was the protagonist, while Chen Pingping was merely assisting. Although Chen Pingping's merits were significant, hers were even greater.

The others secretly scoffed. Especially Yu Changfeng; if her mother weren't the White Emperor, he would have retorted long ago, even loudly demanding, "What about the promised brass fragments?"

At that moment, Zi Ji couldn't help but utter, "Can I have a piece of rabbit meat?"

The crowd was dumbstruck. Even Yue Wuxia was startled. "Rabbit meat?"

Those unaware might truly think it was actual rabbit meat, but... in reality, Zi Ji's 'rabbit meat' referred to the White Emperor! She actually still had an appetite for the White Emperor.

Yue Wuxia quickly rushed over and covered Zi Ji's mouth. "Shh! Quiet down! Don't let the White Emperor hear; she's very petty."

Zi Ji mumbled and nodded.

Only then did Yue Wuxia let go. She immediately chuckled, "In this battle against the Demon Emperor, you did well, you know."

Zi Ji shook her head. "Just an average performance, nothing compared to you, Sister."

Yue Wuxia's smile beamed brightly. "That's the way to talk! Later, I'll steal a treasure the White Emperor has cherished for many years and give it to you."

WHOOSH!

The group turned their gazes towards her, their eyes suddenly heating up.

A treasure the White Emperor has cherished for many years?

Holy shit, it's definitely something good!

Yue Wuxia said enigmatically, "A pair of black stockings. It's said that as soon as you put them on, you'll immediately feel the immortal energy flowing."

The crowd's faces darkened.

Chen Pingping rapped Zi Ji on the head. "Stay away from her."
