Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 676 The Number One Empress

Lord White Emperor pondered for a moment, arriving at three possible judgments. Firstly, this child had something to do with Lord Jiu Yue. Secondly, this child had a connection with the Divine Medicine. Thirdly, this child... had something to do with Chen Pingping. Although this judgment was rather vague, Lord White Emperor still took it seriously enough to relay it and earnestly admonished, "Alright, you can take her back with you now. From now on, don't come to the Southern Region for no reason, and even if there is a reason, you are not to come to the Southern Region."

No matter which guess was correct, the little girl beside him was destined to bear a huge karmic burden. Lord White Emperor didn't want to get involved.

Chen Pingping said with a pained expression, "Senior, your daughter and I hit it off at first sight, and now you're being like this..."

"Shut your mouth!" Lord White Emperor snapped in annoyance. This bastard. He should not have mentioned Xia'er; the mere sound of her name infuriated her. Recalling Xia'er's various actions, she was now itching to draw her sword and cut down this fellow, settling things once and for all.

"Let bygones be bygones. We'll settle things here. Just pretend you've never met Xia'er, nor have you ever seen me, and I won't pursue any of your matters!" Lord White Emperor stared intently at him. "Understood?"

Chen Pingping sighed, "Senior, I am deeply saddened."

Lord White Emperor's expression turned wrathful. "Boy, are you trying to force my hand?"

Chen Pingping replied sheepishly, "I wouldn't dare. It's just that I think... in all of the Nine Heavens, probably only you, milord, can truly keep her in line."

Lord White Emperor: "???"

"One should know that Lord White Emperor has been invincible all her life, with countless glorious victories. Her refined and extraordinary appearance is likened to that of a fairy from the Nine Heavens, possessing a beauty capable of toppling cities and kingdoms. Furthermore... Senior, your heart is kind. I'm afraid that even if you saw an old lady crossing the road, you would step forward to assist her. With such a magnanimous and sincere heart, you are truly worthy of the title of the foremost Empress in the Nine Heavens. Looking through the entire history of the Nine Heavens, it's not unfounded for you, Senior, to be ranked in the top three, or even first," Chen Pingping said earnestly.

"Hmm?"

"Additionally... my junior sister has mentioned you, Lord White Emperor, more than once to me in secret."

"What did she say about me?" Lord White Emperor raised an eyebrow.

"She said that in the present world, only Lord White Emperor could command her complete admiration, not only for your unparalleled appearance but also for your formidable strength," Chen Pingping praised.

HMPH! Lord White Emperor raised her head proudly. "At least she has good judgment."

Chen Pingping continued, "My junior sister once said that her biggest regret in life was opposing you in the past. If heaven granted her another chance to start over, she would certainly choose to be your friend. She firmly believes that becoming friends with Lord White Emperor is a stroke of luck so great, it must be the result of virtuous deeds performed by many generations of her ancestors."

Lord White Emperor half-closed her eyes, feeling as light as a feather. With a wave of her hand and a light laugh, she said, "Actually, your junior sister isn't half bad either."

Chen Pingping: "Hmm, but ultimately not as exceptional as Lord White Emperor."

Lord White Emperor laughed, "That's true." She then paused. "What did you say just now? You want to leave this little girl in the Southern Region?"

Chen Pingping's eyes darted about as he nodded. "Yes. I believe that in all the Nine Heavens, only Lord White Emperor can tame her."

"Good judgment!" Lord White Emperor gave a thumbs-up, saying with a smile, "Leave this matter to me. I assure you, I'll raise her well."

"Then, I am much obliged, milord," Chen Pingping said with a bow.

Leaving the barrier and domain set by Lord White Emperor, he quickly returned to the little girl's side, with only one sentence: "Be good. Auntie is going to take you to eat rabbit meat."

At this, the little girl beamed with joy.

Chen Pingping glanced toward Monster Emperor City and then, without looking back, "fled" the place.

The little girl bounded over to Lord White Emperor's side, her bright, large eyes gazing at her, drool trickling down her chin...

At that moment, Spirit Jade came over and let out a breath. "Milord, why did you agree to keep her?"

Wasn't it said that she was a huge trouble? Wasn't it said that she carried a great karmic burden? Just moments ago, she was uttering threats, yet after a brief chat with Chen Pingping, she actually agreed to take in this little girl. Spirit Jade was truly speechless.

Lord White Emperor smiled faintly. "You don't understand. I am the foremost Empress of the Nine Heavens."

Spirit Jade: "..."

"But... you're right. Why did I decide to keep her?" Lord White Emperor finally processed the situation, gazing intently at the little girl before her, scrutinizing her carefully. What was amiss? But recalling the events, she had indeed agreed to Chen Pingping's request readily. Realizing this, Lord White Emperor's face turned ashen.

「At this moment」

Chen Pingping had already made himself scarce. After returning to the Wuji Sect, he glanced towards the Southern Region several times, confirming that the little girl hadn't run back. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ni'er approached. "Where is she?"

Chen Pingping chuckled. "Sent her to Lord White Emperor's place."

Jiang Ni'er was startled. "Would Lord White Emperor agree to that?"

Chen Pingping curled the corner of his mouth. "Of course not!"

Jiang Ni'er: "..."

"By the way, go get Mao Qiu for me." Chen Pingping squinted, recalling the vision Lord Jiu Yue had conjured. In that distant era, he had met a girl who claimed to be the Devouring Sky Beast. If that little girl truly was the Devouring Sky Beast, then... the furry troublemaker who slept on his Qingfeng every day must be it. Quite an origin, indeed!

Chen Pingping began to get excited. It seemed that researching the identity and origins of the Devouring Sky Beast was more meaningful than dealing with that little girl who was a humanoid Spirit Pill Transformation. After all, Mao Qiu was within controllable limits. That little girl, however, was uncontrollable. Who knew when she might cause him serious trouble. But now, it was all good. Lord White Emperor truly was a good person.

Soon, Jiang Ni'er came over, carrying Mao Qiu.

Chen Pingping spoke, "Hang it on the tree."

Jiang Ni'er: "???"

She was puzzled but did as told.

Even while hanging from the tree, Mao Qiu maintained its lazy demeanor. Its tiny, bean-sized eyes glanced at Chen Pingping before it drifted off into a deep sleep.

Chen Pingping's face stiffened. He picked up a tree branch and threatened fiercely, "Alright, start talking!"

SLAP! He flicked the branch backwards, striking it.

Of course, Mao Qiu was an ancient creature; an ordinary branch like this would hardly register a hit. It was merely for show.

"Are you going to talk or not? Speak up, or I'll finish you!" Chen Pingping looked ferocious as he continuously swung the branch.

Standing by, Jiang Ni'er really couldn't bear to watch any longer. "Senior Brother, you should at least ask something!"

"..."

It was a bit awkward. He had forgotten to ask.

Chen Pingping adjusted his position, then asked, "Spit it out, are you that little girl?"

SQUEAK! Mao Qiu symbolically waved its claws, but its meaning was unclear.

Chen Pingping stared, dumbfounded. Normally, Mao Qiu was lethargic and loved to sleep, so his interactions with it were genuinely few. He could understand a dog's bark, but he had no idea what Mao Qiu meant by waving its claws.

He looked towards Jiang Ni'er. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Jiang Ni'er thought for a moment, then uttered two words: "Doesn't hurt."

Chen Pingping: "???"

He'd picked up the branch to intimidate this furry little thing, and now it was daring to provoke him? This was unbearable.

Chen Pingping drew his sword immediately.

SQUEAK! Mao Qiu waved its claws again.

Chen Pingping looked at Jiang Ni'er.

The latter answered, "Doesn't hurt!"

Frustrated, Chen Pingping took out a higher-grade weapon, unleashing slashes of Sword Intent at it.

Jiang Ni'er: "Doesn't hurt."

And so it went...

Chen Pingping kept switching weapons, each one higher in rank, and the Sword Dao he unleashed became increasingly powerful. Mao Qiu, however, seemed to be enjoying itself, squeaking incessantly and provoking Chen Pingping without pause. This led to Chen Pingping eventually drawing a Sacred Soldier.

Which Mao Qiu promptly bit off.

The commotion grew, inadvertently alerting the entire Wuji Sect. Many powerful cultivators and young disciples alike gathered around. Seeing Chen Pingping hanging Mao Qiu on the tree, they initially thought he was abusing a small animal. After watching for a few minutes, everyone felt a sense of bewildered chaos. Mao Qiu was provoking Chen Pingping.

Mr. Zhang also squeezed through the crowd. Upon witnessing this scene, he was shocked and asked someone nearby, "It just bit off a Sacred Soldier!"

The young man glanced at him, unimpressed. "Making a big fuss over nothing."

Liu Dayao sidled up. "Mr. Zhang, he's mocking you."

At this moment, a young disciple on the left said, "You must be new here, right?"

Zhang Ziyu: "..."

The young disciple chuckled. "The little fellow that Martial Uncle hung up there isn't an ordinary creature; it's a Devouring Sky Beast. So, you see, even the Sacred Soldiers and attacks that Martial Uncle took out were eaten by it."

Zhang Ziyu was completely stunned.

"Stay calm. This is just the tip of the iceberg regarding Martial Uncle's capabilities." The disciple smiled. "But why would Martial Uncle hang up the Devouring Sky Beast? And why is the Devouring Sky Beast provoking Martial Uncle?" That was the question they should be focusing on.

While everyone was puzzled, a piece of news exploded among the crowd.

Martial Uncle had a dream where the Devouring Sky Beast transformed into a little girl. Moreover, this little girl possessed heaven-defying strength and high Spiritual Intelligence. Therefore, upon waking, he decided to interrogate the Devouring Sky Beast harshly.

There was no choice. Usually, this little fellow was extremely lethargic and had an insatiable desire to sleep. Often, when it should have taken action, it would still be sound asleep. How could Chen Pingping tolerate that? That's why he decided to take action and force it to reveal its true form.
