Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 666: The Choice of the Heart

Before the Demon Emperor was reborn, she had many proud achievements in battle. But after her rebirth, having become Guang Xiaoyu, she was remarkably Nameless—until this moment.

She forcefully suppressed Chen Pingping.

She would bet that above the myriad worlds of the Heavens and below the vast lands of the Nine Heavens, aside from herself, the Demon Emperor, no one else could suppress her senior brother.

Considering his growth rate, background, stance, actions, and the path he walked, it was nearly certain that very few could suppress him.

Yet, she had accomplished this astonishing feat.

The Demon Emperor wore a proud expression.

After an hour-long battle, she chuckled lightly, "How does it feel?"

Chen Pingping: "..."

He wanted to die. It wasn't because Xiaoyu had suppressed him, but because... he experienced that inexplicable feeling while being suppressed. How could he, a dignified man, be humiliated like this?

As he dwelled on this, he found himself leaving behind regretful "drool." He had clearly understood Xiaoyu's intentions earlier but had pretended not to.

As a result, Xiaoyu had suppressed him.

It was truly vexing!

He should have taken the initiative.

After so many years, he wasn't a fool. How could he fail to understand Xiaoyu?

But there was some barrier in his heart, some pretense, and thus he lacked the courage to break through that layer.

Now, everything was settled.

Chen Pingping looked at her with a grievance-filled expression, exhaled, and said, "My innocence is gone."

"Oh?" Guang Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow. "You had innocence?"

Chen Pingping: "..."

"What about those times with the Moon God? Did you think I'd forgotten?" Guang Xiaoyu huffed. "And after that, you were all sweet and cuddly with the Divine Body..."

Chen Pingping: "..."

"Senior brother, you have so many women around you!" the Demon Emperor suddenly remarked, her tone neither cold nor warm, but tinged with a hint of sourness.

Setting aside the Qingfeng lineage and not even mentioning the internal affairs of the Wuji Sect.

Chen Shixian, the Moon God, Jin Qiongyu, Lan Xiuzhi, the Saintess, the Fairy, and so on...

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

Chen Pingping sighed. "The path of cultivation is long. Meeting a few people along the way is perfectly normal."

He had already calmed down, but his gaze towards Guang Xiaoyu had changed significantly. It was no longer one of light indifference or merely the care of a senior brother for his junior sister. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Instead, it was filled with affection and happiness.

After all, he was still human and couldn't sever all emotions and desires. Naturally, he couldn't ignore the people around him or disregard their feelings without a second thought.

He had personally brought Xiaoyu into Qingfeng and had witnessed her growth every step of the way.

He had long been aware when Xiaoyu looked at him with that peculiar gaze, but alas... he dared not overstep.

The thought was indeed laughable.

Eventually, a day would come when he would charge into the myriad worlds of the Heavens, slay all his powerful enemies, and quell all unrest. Then, how would he and Wen Yuqing begin?

A master and a disciple.

Wasn't this relationship even more complex than that of senior brother and junior sister?

Chen Pingping let out a troubled breath. "Xiaoyu, will you blame me?"

Guang Xiaoyu curled her lip. "Which transgression are you referring to? Having too many women? Or having designs on Master?"

Chen Pingping: "..."

His old face turned red.

He hadn't expected this! Despite hiding it so deeply, she had seen right through him.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it!" Guang Xiaoyu's reply was quite rational, and she didn't press him further.

Blinking, she added, "Senior brother, did you start liking me a long time ago?"

Chen Pingping let out an "Oh," and hurriedly changed the subject. "That dress."

"You really have liked me for a long time! Otherwise, you would have resisted when I was suppressing you just now, right?" She sounded excited. "But I'm clearly a girl, so why didn't you take the initiative?"

"That dress... it truly isn't finished yet!" he said earnestly.

HEH! Guang Xiaoyu laughed.

She had accompanied her senior brother for many years and understood certain aspects of his temperament very well.

He was too shy, not straightforward enough.

Especially when it came to girls. Otherwise, he probably would have succumbed long ago, and it wouldn't have required her to suppress him forcefully and make a move.

Very good. It seemed her efforts were effective.

"Do you dare to make a move on me?" the Demon Emperor chuckled, HEH HEH.

Chen Pingping: "..."

"You dare to hold my hand, but you don't dare to make a move?"

Chen Pingping: "..."

"Senior brother, I'll give you a chance for revenge, to wash away your humiliation, how about that?" she chuckled.

Just one mere hour. HMPH! This Emperor has been lying in wait for decades. How could one hour possibly be enough? With that, she prepared to strike.

Chen Pingping's expression darkened, and he hurriedly held her back. "Xiaoyu."

Guang Xiaoyu smiled. "What's wrong?"

"I... I don't know what to say." Chen Pingping took a deep breath and looked at her quietly. "There are many things that can't be explained."

"Such as?" she asked.

Chen Pingping opened his mouth slightly, but no words came out.

Guang Xiaoyu continued, "Senior brother, are you afraid of how you'll face Master after this, right?"

Chen Pingping: "..."

Indeed, that was the case.

This was a significant issue. The key was... he didn't know how to resolve it, how to explain it to Wen Yuqing. Or perhaps, by then, he could be bolder?

Perhaps Master was very petty?

At this very moment, his thoughts were a mess.

Guang Xiaoyu smiled. "Senior brother, you'll really disappoint me if you continue like this!"

She had expressed her feelings more than once.

Within the Wuji Sect, both inside and out, those who should know probably already knew, right?

Even just now, she had boldly made her move, assertively attacked, breaking through that barrier between them and revealing a torrent of her inner feelings.

And yet, here he was, still covering things up, hemming and hawing.

How could she not be disappointed by such timidity?

Guang Xiaoyu lowered her eyelids, her gaze shifting away towards the entrance of the Demon Cultivation Sacred Land. She chuckled softly, "I should go in now."

Indeed. The atmosphere was right, yet there was no progress. Forcing herself to stay would just be embarrassing.

But she wasn't discouraged.

After all, she had bravely broken through that barrier. Perhaps there would be progress the next time they met?

Chen Pingping lifted his head. "Wait a bit longer."

"Wait for what?" She turned back, looking at him quietly.

Yes, wait for what?

Chen Pingping didn't know either, but he knew this farewell was destined to be for a very long time. He didn't know what to expect the next time they met.

As he thought about it, a smile touched his lips.

Self-mockery.

All this time, he had been yearning for a beautiful story with Master, yet he had overlooked others—even now.

Actually, this was a very selfish way to behave.

The future was so long. Who could say for sure what it held?

What was so clear now, right before his eyes—why should he fantasize about uncertain possibilities instead?

Chen Pingping chuckled softly. "You are very beautiful!"

Guang Xiaoyu also smiled. "And then?" She faintly sensed a change in her senior brother—his emotions, his expression, the decision in his heart. Perhaps... he had found an answer.

She felt fortunate.

She hadn't left in anger just now, giving them both some breathing room. Otherwise, this departure might have become a long-lasting regret for them.

At this moment, she began to look forward to what would happen next.

"Close your eyes!" Chen Pingping said with a mischievous smile.
