Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 658: How Do You Still Have a Rebellious Bone?

She always had a contradictory idea.

Although her Senior Brother was exceptionally outstanding, he liked to hide his true capabilities, keeping them deeply concealed, instead choosing to present some of his less favorable aspects to the public eye.

For instance, the development of the Wuji Sect.

Unreasonable, untrustworthy, arrogant, domineering, deceptive, and so on.

Such a person should be detested by everyone.

Yet, strangely enough, a lot of girls gathered around her Senior Brother.

Why?

Guang Xiaoyu watched him quietly.

It was undeniable that Chen Pingping's good looks were a significant advantage, but... in a world of cultivation like this, one's background, foundation, and strength were what truly mattered. Good looks wouldn't actually bring Chen Pingping anything substantial, nor could they.

"Senior Brother?" she called out.

"Yes?"

"From now on, don't act as a Protector for anyone else, only for me!" With a clear gaze, she spoke the most "domineering" sentence in a very soft and low voice.

You can only be mine, and no one else's. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Chen Pingping smiled. "I don't possess such great abilities!"

Upon hearing this, Guang Xiaoyu laughed. "I've seen many people of all kinds—talented and intelligent young prodigies, mature and steady experts of the older generation, terrifying existences who deeply concealed their power, and even some who appeared ordinary on the surface but were actually powerhouses. And yet... none of them are qualified."

Chen Pingping was clearly bewildered.

"Being a Protector is an all-or-nothing commitment—either zero times or countless times; there's no in-between," Guang Xiaoyu stated. "The Protectors you see behind those young geniuses nowadays? They don't really count."

She then elaborated, "To protect means a life without worries. To protect means a lifetime of peace. To protect means being unparalleled in the world. To protect means looking down upon all creation. *That* is what a true Protector is."

Chen Pingping was silent.

Sigh! Guang Xiaoyu lamented, "Actually, I don't want to undergo Cultivating Demon. If you, Senior Brother, were to act as my Protector, I'd love to just stay at the Wuji Sect, at Qingfeng, eating, drinking, and enjoying myself every day. That would be the life."

"Don't you want to achieve Tao Verification?" Chen Pingping asked.

"No, I have already achieved Tao Verification. I know that feeling..." she recalled, her expression indescribably numb. "The so-called Emperor Realm, the so-called invincible ones—it's actually just another beginning. When you stand at the apex, looking down upon all living beings, you will see scenes and worlds that ordinary people can never reach."

"Another beginning," Chen Pingping murmured.

"Yes," she nodded. "That world is even more terrifying, more profound, deeply hidden. Even as an Emperor Realm expert, one cannot touch it, only gaze from afar. Over time, this might lead to anxiety."

To see, yet unable to touch. That is a kind of pain.

Just like the Demon Emperor of the Northern Border, he has already compromised with the 'unknown.' He has lost his truly invincible heart, lacking the courage to advance indomitably. If he were in the same state as the White Emperor, then... even if Chen Pingping had brought a powerful trump card, it would have been impossible to slay him.

That world!

Guang Xiaoyu felt helpless. "After exhausting a lifetime of effort, believing the Great Emperor realm to be the supreme and eternal pinnacle, one never expects that after crossing that high mountain, there are even higher mountains beyond. The beings standing atop those mountain peaks will always exert an intangible pressure on you, one you cannot escape."

Chen Pingping quietly listened.

He was not a native of this world but a transmigrator. He understood very well the cruelty and truth Guang Xiaoyu spoke of. Behind one great mountain, there are countless more. At that point, you will experience a sense of powerlessness, deep frustration, self-doubt, and the like. So, in the eyes of a Great Emperor, the Emperor Realm is merely another beginning. But in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, a Great Emperor is already like a god, omnipotent, possessing the power to destroy worlds and create new life.

"But..." Her voice gradually deepened, her eyelids drooped, her whole being exuding an indescribable and unclear sorrow.

But if you don't achieve Tao Verification, how can you see that other starting point? But if you don't advance, you will eventually be eliminated by the times, ridiculed by everyone. This is an inevitability under the torrent of the times.

After she entered the Western Wilderness, she had been constantly pondering this question: What if she didn't undergo Cultivating Demon? Relying on the Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill to achieve Tao Verification. At that time, the Demon God within her might backlash. If she were powerless to suppress it, she would ultimately become a puppet of the Demon God. There would be no Guang Xiaoyu left in the mortal world. That's one of the concerns.

Secondly, without undergoing Cultivating Demon, she might be unable to escape the fate of the Emperor Realm, unable to break free from that prison that has existed for tens of thousands of years. She would, like those ordinary cultivators, slowly vanish into the long river of history, turning into a speck of dust.

Thirdly, the path Chen Pingping had to walk and the formidable enemies he would face in the future far transcended the Emperor Realm. If she wanted to be with Chen Pingping, she absolutely could not become a burden. She needed to possess comparable strength to fight alongside her Senior Brother. She didn't want to just wait behind him. Constantly gazing up at the sky, looking towards the Heavens, worrying daily about Chen Pingping's fate. Was he safe? How far had his battles taken him? Had he met new girls? During the long years of campaigning, perhaps... he would have already forgotten her? That would be so desolate; the mere thought was terrifying.

So, undergoing Cultivating Demon was her only choice: to break her shackles, shatter the Emperor Realm, and cultivate the true Supreme Path. Only then could she help her Senior Brother vanquish his enemies.

Yes! That's right!

From then on, a legend would circulate throughout the Heavens: that pair of Tao Companions had fought their way across all the myriad worlds. Not one where he was out fighting wars while she waited behind like a resentful wife.

"Once I succeed in Cultivating Demon and cultivate the Supreme Path, I can also act as your Protector, you know," Guang Xiaoyu said, blinking and laughing lightly. "When that time comes, Senior Brother, you absolutely mustn't feel embarrassed."

A Junior Sister acting as Protector for her Senior Brother. Hahaha! Just thinking about it is hilarious; it would definitely be very interesting.

Chen Pingping's face darkened. "You girl, still so rebellious?"

Guang Xiaoyu went, "PTUI!" Her large eyes sparkled. "You're the one who said that if I could defeat you, Lao Huang would be mine."

Chen Pingping was dumbfounded. "How many years ago was that?"

"You also said that once I achieve Tao Verification and become an Emperor, you would sleep with me," she laughed triumphantly.

"..."

Damn!

A miscalculation, a grave miscalculation. Back then, Chen Pingping had merely given a perfunctory answer. He had never dreamed that this lively and adorable Junior Sister of his was actually a reincarnated Demon Emperor.

Damn!

Chen Pingping pursed his lips and averted his gaze.

"Senior Brother?" She suddenly dropped her smile, her expression turning exceptionally serious, her large, dark eyes fixed on him. "I want to ask you a question."

"Ask away!"

"Do you like me?" Guang Xiaoyu had been calm just a moment before, she could swear it, but after asking this question, she instantly grew apprehensive, far from composed, even a little flustered.

Chen Pingping smiled, watching her quietly without answering.

Guang Xiaoyu grew annoyed and urged, "Hurry up and say it, or I'll get angry."

Chen Pingping smiled. "Guess?"

Guang Xiaoyu glared at him and said irritably, "All you ever do is make me guess! Don't you know that some things can't be guessed?"
