Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 642: The Man Who Says One Thing and Means Another

The several Saint Kings behind, along with their attendant Liu Dayao, shuddered uncontrollably, as if they could already envision the forthcoming scene.

The woman whom the young master forcibly called "Emperor Son" would, with a single wave of her hand, suppress Zhang Ziyu, or perhaps draw her sword and cut him down.

Of course, they weren't the only ones feeling disheartened.

There was also Chen Pingping…

Within the vast Wuji Sect, among thousands of powerful disciples, not a single one dared to enter the Southern Region with him to visit the White Emperor.

"Hey!"

Chen Pingping looked at Jiang Ni'er, quite moved. "Ni'er, it had to be you after all."

Jiang Ni'er gave a sidelong glance and sighed, "Senior Brother, I didn't want to come either."

She truly did not want to, but some matters required confirmation with the White Emperor.

Chen Pingping: "???"

Yue Wuxia, walking ahead, had been chattering non-stop the entire way, more inquisitive than Ask Demon.

"Pingping, let me tell you, the White Emperor is a petty woman... Huh? Where are you?" Yue Wuxia glanced to the side, didn't see Chen Pingping, and instinctively turned her head, calling out, "Pingping, hurry up and follow!"

"..."

He felt a bit numb. It wasn't that he couldn't accept Yue Wuxia's ramblings; she could say whatever she wanted. The issue was, she had been listing all sorts of the White Emperor's flaws: for instance, how she often didn't bathe, wouldn't change her clothes for thousands of years, was stingy, petty, and loved to gossip behind people's backs.

In short, the White Emperor had a mountain of faults.

Chen Pingping's scalp tingled. Big Brother, the White Emperor is your own mother! Is it really okay for you to talk about her like this? he desperately wanted to say.

If you're going to talk, then talk! I truly can't bear to listen anymore.

"Coming, coming!" Chen Pingping let out a breath and quickened his pace to catch up.

"Don't be afraid. With Big Brother here, the White Emperor won't do anything to you," Yue Wuxia winked at him. "Relax."

Big Brother! It's precisely because you're here that I'm scared!

Chen Pingping wore a troubled expression.

Before long, the trio arrived on the main road. From a distance, the teahouse was only about a hundred meters away.

Suddenly, Yue Wuxia seemed to sense something. She stopped, her eyes wide, staring at the teahouse, then exclaimed, "White Emperor!"

「Over at the teahouse.」

Young Master Zhang Ziyu, still holding forth eloquently, was about to produce some impressive treasures to win over "Yue Wuxia" when he heard someone call out from behind him.

He turned to look.

The crowd also turned their gaze towards her. "Emperor Son?"

Oh, oh...

The Emperor Son had returned.

But then who is that woman inside the teahouse? Could she really be Lord White Emperor?

The Demon Race powerhouses gathered there quickly connected some dots, and a chill ran down their spines.

Liu Dayao: "???"

The few family Saint Kings: "???"

Even Zhang Ziyu himself was stunned at that moment.

Chen Pingping stood dazed.

Jiang Ni'er, beside him, came to a halt.

What the fuck? The White Emperor is actually here! Could it be she's already seen through my plan? Yue Wuxia's heart pounded with apprehension.

But Zhang Ziyu was even more apprehensive, more bewildered, and even more... his scalp was numb, a chill shot down his spine, his heart felt like ice, and it nearly stopped beating.

He stared fixedly at Yue Wuxia, who wasn't far off. That terrifying thought wouldn't leave him... no, it was her voice. Had she just called out "White Emperor"?

Who? What the fuck!

Zhang Ziyu: "..."

This was beyond embarrassing.

It's over. It's all over. I actually flirted with the White Emperor on my way to propose marriage! Liu Dayao! Where are you? Hurry up and say something! I'm finished! In that single instant, he'd already planned out his will and where he'd be buried. All his cultivation resources would be interred with him. He'd find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, dig a pit, and hire a powerful Array Master to set up ninety-nine formidable arrays. He was terrified of grave robbers.

SOB, SOB...

Zhang Ziyu forced a smile more painful than a grimace of tears, his body trembling as he turned around.

Spirit Jade smiled. "Young man, no need to be nervous."

"I was wrong..." Zhang Ziyu's voice trembled. "I didn't know Lord White Emperor was here, so I was spouting nonsense."

"Really, there's no need to be nervous. Lord White Emperor is very easy to talk to," Spirit Jade comforted.

"SOB, SOB... Milord, please don't talk like that," Zhang Ziyu cried.

Who could have imagined that the renowned Lord White Emperor had hidden her identity right at his doorstep? Zhang Ziyu's face was deathly pale; he truly couldn't understand it! The crucial part was that he had flirted with the White Emperor, called her brain-damaged, and spouted a whole load of other nonsense.

Spirit Jade just smiled and said nothing.

Seated upright, the White Emperor remained expressionless. I have to admit one thing, she thought. Chen Pingping is indeed more normal than Zhang Ziyu. Comparing them, and after giving it some thought, accepting Chen Pingping doesn't seem so unthinkable.

Steady, steady. Yue Wuxia, you must remain calm. Don't panic. Follow the steps... just as Pingping said: a gentle approach first, to make her lower her guard, then secretly set the plan in motion.

She took a deep breath, her eyes darting around before a beaming smile spread across her face. She called out sweetly, "Mom!"

White Emperor: "???"

That "Mom!" almost made the White Emperor jump; she looked at Yue Wuxia in utter disbelief.

Something feels off. Ever since this girl was born, she had never called me 'Mom,' always 'Lord White Emperor' this and 'Lord White Emperor' that...

"I'm back!" Yue Wuxia strode over, her beautiful face still wreathed in a radiant smile. "Mom, who's this silly-looking guy?" She pointed at Zhang Ziyu.

Zhang Ziyu was somewhat dazed. Silly-looking? I admit I made a slight misjudgment earlier, leading to a series of unpleasant events. But to call me foolish is a bit too arbitrary, isn't it?

Yet, Zhang Ziyu was surprised to find that with Yue Wuxia's arrival, Lord White Emperor seemed to have shifted her focus away from him.

What? Could I truly be a Son of the Fate Energy, having flirted with the White Emperor and remained unscathed?

However, after Yue Wuxia approached, the White Emperor remained expressionless and silent, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

Zhang Ziyu narrowed his eyes, also looking in that direction. He saw a young man who had returned with Miss Emperor Son.

And judging by the White Emperor's gaze and demeanor, she doesn't seem to like this young man much! Could it be he's pursuing Yue Wuxia? That's why the White Emperor dislikes him. He isn't good enough. He lacks a distinguished identity and background. He isn't a Son of the Fate Energy. Considering all this, I, Mr. Zhang, am clearly the best choice.

With this thought, Zhang Ziyu straightened his posture. When he looked at Chen Pingping, a hint of scorn flickered in his eyes. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Do you see the gap between yourself and me now? I flirted with the White Emperor and came out unscathed, even able to stay by her side, while you... can only watch from afar... Zhang Ziyu smiled. Give up, young man! You stand no chance.

「Outside the teahouse, a hundred meters away.」

Jiang Ni'er whispered, "That idiot has been looking at you."

Chen Pingping nodded, "There seems to be something about him that resonates with the Six Tao Emperor Weapon."

Jiang Ni'er's eyes flickered. "The first time."

Chen Pingping said, "Yes, but... why is he constantly looking at me? And showing such hostility?"

Jiang Ni'er instantly understood, "I get it. This person must be one of Yue Wuxia's suitors. Since you just returned side-by-side with Yue Wuxia, he's hostile towards you."

Chen Pingping rolled his eyes, "Don't joke about that." His heart was racing. He had taken advantage of Yue Wuxia so much during the Northern Border campaign. Now, visiting the White Emperor was about offering a sincere apology, not meeting his mother-in-law!

"Honestly!" Jiang Ni'er let out a breath and sighed, "Men... always saying one thing and meaning another."
