Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 640: Encounter in the Tea House

On the official road leading to the Monster Emperor City, there was a tea house. It appeared simple, yet it was bustling with an endless stream of customers coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.

However, within the tea house, there were two women whose presence seemed oddly out of place in such humble surroundings.

She was the White Emperor, accompanied by her servant.

Since the White Emperor had issued the order, explicitly naming Chen Pingping to escort Miss Yue Wuxia back, fifteen days had already passed.

The White Emperor, guarding the Monster Emperor City, grew increasingly impatient.

Fifteen days already. Why hasn't this girl returned? That's the Human Clan area, after all! If she spends every day with Chen Pingping, might something happen? Shouting "Pingping, Pingping, Pingping" during the day… what about at night? Could it be?

As the White Emperor pondered, her face gradually darkened, and she looked on the verge of erupting.

Fortunately, her servant Spirit Jade was at her side, persuading her repeatedly, "My Lord, the Young Miss has grown up."

"???"

"It's perfectly normal for her to fancy someone," Spirit Jade pleaded earnestly. "Don't you want her to grow up, My Lord?"

"I'll give you one more chance to rephrase that," the White Emperor glared at her.

Spirit Jade hastily closed her mouth.

As the saying goes, men should marry and women should wed when they come of age.

Yue Wuxia had lived for tens of thousands of years, truly an old Demon Girl, yet she remained inexperienced in worldly affairs, her heart pure and kind. Such a disposition was not one that could survive in the world of cultivators. Although it was said that her vital signs, the growth rings in her very bones, still indicated she was around twenty years old, she was, after all, a person from tens of thousands of years ago.

No matter how invincible you, White Emperor, may be, you can't protect her for her entire life, can you? Not allowing her to go out, not even letting her make friends… Spirit Jade felt stifled. Those of the same age as Yue Wuxia have already produced entire lineages, while she's still just… immature. Is that reasonable? That's why Chen Pingping isn't a bad choice.

However, in the White Emperor's eyes, the situation was entirely different. Chen Pingping is a descendant of the Wen Dynasty, bearing the weight of tremendous karma. Moreover, he's from the Human Clan, completely different from us. How could the two of them possibly be together? No, no, no! Absolutely not.

The White Emperor slammed the table and rose. "We're entering the Human Clan's territory."

Spirit Jade's mouth fell slightly open. For you, the White Emperor, to enter the Human Clan's territory… isn't that a simple matter? Who could possibly stop you? It's not like you're that troublemaker from the Northern Border.

And so, the current scene unfolded. Indeed, the White Emperor was preparing to hide her identity, secretly infiltrate the Human Clan, and wait for an opportunity to probe the Wuji Sect. She needed to find out exactly what that wretched girl and Chen Pingping had been up to these past fifteen days.

"My Lord? Are you sure you want to go?" Spirit Jade asked in a low voice.

"Of course," the White Emperor replied indifferently.

She understood all the reasoning. But Yue Wuxia's biological father was of extraordinary origin, so Yue Wuxia could not easily reveal herself, lest it invite a great calamity. Besides, she was a mother, not some great saint. Loving the house means loving the crows on its roof too, right? Is that not allowed?

Of course, this was merely how she behaved in front of Spirit Jade. If facing the outside world, the White Emperor would wear an indifferent expression, as if nothing mattered. Otherwise, with her temper, she would have stormed into the Human Clan's territory long ago.

Zhang Ziyu and his companions arrived. Just as they were about to pass by the tea house, he suddenly sensed something. Hmm? A faint fluctuation, not intense, but it caught his attention.

The White Emperor had hidden herself very well. She concealed her aura and greatly altered her appearance, making herself seem like a young woman in her early twenties. However, there was one thing she couldn't change: the Emperor Blood within her and the Great Tao aura that inadvertently flowed out.

Even so, an ordinary person, or even a cultivator of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, would not be able to detect it. Only Zhang Ziyu, a cultivator of Ancient Skills, possessed keen senses and vigilance. Moreover, he had genuinely excavated an Emperor Mausoleum and observed a Great Emperor's body up close.

Zhang Ziyu stepped back towards the tea house, staring intently at the two women inside.

They wore plain clothes, seemingly trying to conceal their identities. But alas, such striking beauty was not something mere attire could hide. As long as one wasn't blind, it was clear that the two women had extraordinary origins.

"Young Master, is there something wrong?" Liu Dayao sidled up.

"There is something wrong, a big problem. The fluctuations from her are… unusual…" Zhang Ziyu narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the White Emperor. "That garment she's wearing is a Quasi-Emperor Level armor."

Upon these words, everyone was shocked.

"She also has a Quasi-Emperor Divine Weapon on her," Zhang Ziyu continued his assessment. "Quasi-Emperor Level armor, a Quasi-Emperor Weapon—these are not items an ordinary person could possess."

The people inside and outside the teahouse who heard this were all in disbelief.

Zhang Ziyu then said, "Her skin is delicate and smooth, her eyes are clear yet conceal her true depth, her long hair is lustrous, tinged with marks of the Tao, and this armor she's wearing… I understand now…"

As he spoke, he suddenly became excited.

The White Emperor, seated there and being so blatantly scrutinized, was already furious and wanted to slap this fellow to death.

But what Zhang Ziyu said next made it hard for her to remain calm. Could he actually have guessed my true identity?

The White Emperor had ruled the Southern Region for countless years, spending most of her time in the Monster Emperor City. Although she seldom went out, almost every member of the Demon Race in the Southern Region had seen her portrait. In many areas, statues of her were even worshipped. She had been traveling incognito, and until now, no one had seen through her identity. This made the White Emperor quite proud. My disguise is truly masterly! she thought. Yet now, some fellow appears out of nowhere and guesses my identity just by staring at me for a moment?

Even Spirit Jade beside her was stunned.

"You're the Emperor's Daughter Yue Wuxia, aren't you?" Zhang Ziyu burst into laughter.

The others: "???"

To be honest, the White Emperor rarely went out, and the same was true for the Emperor's Daughter Yue Wuxia. However, Yue Wuxia had escaped enough times for almost the entire Demon Race of the Southern Region to recognize this young lady…

Now, some fellow was staring at a woman in a teahouse claiming she was the Emperor's Daughter.

For a moment, the scene became utterly silent.

Spirit Jade: "…"

The White Emperor said indifferently, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I am not the Emperor's Daughter."

HA HA HA!

Zhang Ziyu laughed heartily and said with conviction, "Rumor has it that Miss Yue Wuxia, the Emperor's Daughter, enjoys going out and frequently escapes from the Monster Emperor City. Therefore… I deduce that you must have disguised yourself, am I right?"

He was right about the disguise. But he would never dream that the one in disguise wasn't Yue Wuxia, but the Lord White Emperor herself.

Zhang Ziyu, making himself at home, plopped down. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said. "Zhang Ziyu, Son of the Fate Energy, from Huangzhou's Ancient Family."

His words dripped with pride. Shocked, aren't you? This is the woman I, your young master, have taken a liking to!

The White Emperor quietly watched him.

"I have come here this time to propose to Miss Yue," Zhang Ziyu said with a radiant smile, brimming with confidence.

As these words were spoken, the surroundings became even more silent.

Propose marriage? Huangzhou, Ancient Family? What is this nonsense? And how can he be so sure that this woman is Miss Emperor's Daughter?

HEH HEH!

Zhang Ziyu glanced at the stunned crowd from the corner of his eye. Struck dumb, are you? Utterly shocked by my identity and background, right?

WHOOSH!

He suddenly flicked open his bone fan, revealing four large characters: "Handsome and Heroic." Then, with another flick, it changed to "The One and Only Ziyu," presenting the very picture of a graceful, jade-like gentleman.

This display essentially branded him with two other words in the onlookers' minds: "Foolish Idiot."

But Zhang Ziyu didn't see it that way. He was the Son of the Fate Energy, a young man favored by the heavens. His future was destined to be invincible; there was no doubt about that. Thus, in Huangzhou, a single flutter of his fan would undoubtedly charm countless young maidens.

Unfortunately, this was the Southern Diaspora's Southern Region. Here, Zhang Ziyu's actions were merely an unexpected source of embarrassment, catching both the White Emperor and the onlookers off guard…

The White Emperor continued to watch him.

Zhang Ziyu waved his hand magnanimously and declared, "Liu Dayao, recount my experiences for her."

He was prepared to win over the Emperor's Daughter in one fell swoop.

Liu Dayao, standing behind him, was a bit flustered. So much for keeping a low profile! And even if this woman is Miss Yue Wuxia, Young Master, weren't those stories meant for the White Emperor to hear?
