Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 379: What I have is mine, what’s it to her?

「Yao Guang, the Demon Path World.」

"Elder Mo, something terrible has happened!" A figure streaked in from the distance, landing in front of Moting Du in the blink of an eye.

"What's all the fuss about?!"

The newcomer was still catching his breath, unable to answer, when someone beside Moting Du spoke up. "Could it be that Ning Xuan betrayed us? Has the Righteous Alliance broken in?!"

Instantly, the surrounding void trembled with Majestic Pressure.

"No... not that. He... he did it!"

Moting Du's heart stirred, and he pressed eagerly, "He did what? Speak clearly!"

"The Demon Lord did it! They're announcing it all over Yao Guang, saying that from now on, we're no longer enemies! And those youngsters you selected have successfully entered the Righteous Alliance headquarters!"

"What the hell are you talking about? How long has it been? He's the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, not some immortal!"

"Exactly! You still haven't improved. After all these years, you give yourself away the moment you lie."

None of those around Moting Du believed the messenger, as his words were simply too preposterous. Ning Xuan had only been gone for a short time. It was absolutely impossible for him to fulfill his promise so quickly!

The messenger, too lazy to explain, just said, "If you don't believe me, go and see for yourselves."

He secretly hoped these fools would go see the world for themselves. After all, he couldn't be the only one to lose his composure, could he?

"Fine, I'll go!"

"Count me in!"

"I'm going too!"

Spurred by their words, several of them took action, vanishing from Demon Island moments later.

The messenger watched them leave, a sly grin spreading across his face.

Moting Du's sigh made the man turn his head. "Elder Mo, you don't believe it either?"

"Of course I believe it," Moting Du said, his voice filled with regret. "I just regret it! If I had known he was this heaven-defying, I would have never let him leave, no matter what!"

The man was startled and at a loss for words, unsure how to console the old demon.

Moting Du sighed and lamented for a long while.

Suddenly—

SMACK!

He gave himself a solid slap across the face.

The man jumped in fright, but Moting Du had no intention of stopping. He kept slapping himself, each blow ringing out loudly.

"Elder Mo, stop! Elder Mo... OUCH! Why are you hitting me?!"

「About two to four hours later.」

The Demon Path powerhouses who had stormed out earlier began to return one by one. Each of them wore a look of utter disbelief, muttering in a daze, "How could this be... How could this be..."

It wasn't until they saw Elder Mo's bruised and swollen face that they snapped back to reality.

"Elder Mo, what happened?!"

"Which bastard did this?!"

"Damn it, someone actually dared to hit Elder Mo! Let this old man find out who it is, or else... OUCH! Elder Mo, why are you hitting me?"

"'This old man'? Who are you to call yourself that in front of me?!"

"Elder Mo, I meant I'd be the father to that son of a—" Ouch...

Before the man could finish, the bruised and swollen Moting Du sent him scurrying away with another blow. After finally escaping, he cupped his stinging face and muttered, "No, this is too important. I can't let this go. I have to go find the Demon Lord!"

「Meanwhile...」

The Demon Lord he mentioned had just appeared in the Bi Luo Palace of the Yao Guang Realm.

Upon seeing the person in charge, Ning Xuan's first words were, "My senior sister was sent away by you, right?"

The person in charge of the Bi Luo Palace in this realm was a beautiful woman dressed in a cheongsam and high heels.

Ning Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Ning Xuan's reaction, the woman let out a breath as fragrant as an orchid, completely ignoring his question. "The Palace Master said you would like it. It seems she was right." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Where did you teleport my senior sister?" Ning Xuan asked again.

A trace of surprise flashed through the beautiful woman's eyes. She thought that after she mentioned the Palace Master, he would immediately ask about her. But this young man was still only concerned with his senior sister. How rare.

"You mean Wu Pianpian, right? She's nothing but trouble. If we hadn't sent her away, the entire Yao Guang Realm would have been turned upside down." The beautiful woman rubbed her forehead and continued, "Let's not talk about her. Let's discuss something more joyful... Hey, where are you going?!"

Ning Xuan ignored her and barged into the Bi Luo Palace. In the shadows, many powerful experts and mechanical beasts prepared to take action, but the beautiful woman stopped them all with a sharp glare.

A moment later, the beautiful woman stood before the Bi Luo Palace's Teleportation Array, studying Ning Xuan with a face full of amazement.

She hadn't expected him to find this place so quickly.

She crossed her arms, looking as if she had him right where she wanted him. "If you want to find her, I can send you. However, I spared no expense to make sure she wasn't followed, and Divine Crystals aren't cheap."

Ning Xuan remained unmoved.

The beautiful woman stomped her foot, her chest heaving with indignation. "Are you made of wood?!" she demanded, annoyed.

Without even looking up, Ning Xuan asked, "How does your beauty compare to hers?"

"What?" The beautiful woman was still puzzled when her eyes suddenly widened. A woman had appeared beside her.

Her beauty was peerless, her gaze utterly soul-stealing! Even as a woman, she nearly found herself lost in those eyes.

What a terrifying Charm Technique! Snapping back to her senses, the beautiful woman took several steps back, not daring to look at the newcomer again. I almost made a fool of myself!

"Little brother, you really don't understand women. Bringing such a beauty around is sure to make people jealous. The price for the Divine Crystals to activate the Teleportation Array is now double!"

"Oh."

Ning Xuan still showed little reaction, which made the woman want to stomp her foot again. However, she gave up the idea after catching a glimpse of the other woman out of the corner of her eye.

Comparisons are infuriating! Good thing I have this cheongsam and these high heels, or she would've outshined me completely!

With a glint in her eye, the beautiful woman produced a cheongsam. "Sister, with a figure like yours, it's a shame not to wear a cheongsam. I have a new one here. It's a gift."

The woman who had appeared out of nowhere was, of course, Heavenly Charm. At the offer, her eyes lit up, but she quickly glanced toward Ning Xuan.

"Auntie, she's flat broke. She can't afford it."

"You have money."

"What I have is mine. What does that have to do with her?" Ning Xuan stated matter-of-factly.

The beautiful woman was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had ever met such a stingy man! What she found even more incredible was that the stunning beauty didn't seem upset in the slightest.

Unable to hold back any longer, she blurted out, "Sister, wake up! He's CPU'd you!"

Dark lines etched across Ning Xuan's face. "It's called PUA, not CPU," he corrected her. "Did your Palace Master not go to school?"

The beautiful woman's lips curved into a slight smile.

BANG!

Ning Xuan reacted swiftly but still took a solid kick that sent him flying.

A projection flickered into existence where he had just been standing. It was Luo Tianyi, whom he hadn't seen in a long time!

"Ning Xuan, you're itching for a beating, are you? Let me help you with that!"

As her words fell, she vanished.

Ning Xuan reacted instinctively, but it was useless. He was fast, but she was faster. He couldn't dodge a single kick.
