Oh?

Yue Wuxia raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued, and asked, "Hurry up, whose unlucky kid is it?"

Miss Chen still looked displeased. "Surname Chen."

"Hahaha... You're killing me, they have the same surname as you!" Yue Wuxia laughed freely, her eyes shining. "And then? What happened then?" She was eager.

"Her name is Chen Shixian." Miss Chen gritted her teeth.

"Hahahahaha... Turns out it's Chen Shi... Oh..." Yue Wuxia's laughter abruptly halts, her gaze lowers, perhaps out of guilt, she subconsciously picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chen Shixian.

Steam billowed, the bittersweet aroma lingered in the air for a long time.

The scene was quiet, the atmosphere felt heavy, and no one spoke further.

Miss Chen groaned, picked up the tea and drank it all.

Yue Wuxia's eyes darted around, trying to find a topic to break the awkwardness, then she remembered something and said with a smile, "Back at Sunset Canyon, there was an unlucky kid too! That guy was even more unfortunate, let me tell you..."

She leaned forward.

Miss Chen's face turned completely dark. "It was me too."

Yue Wuxia: "..."

As a newly journeying Emperor Son, though well-versed in background and having powerful Sword Dao, she was greatly lacking in experience.

As a result, in many instances, when great opportunities emerged on the Ancient Road, she couldn't make it there in time.

Therefore, she missed many chances.

By the time she reached the scene, everything had already concluded, leaving only the bystanders' whispers.

Yue Wuxia was helpless and had to listen randomly.

The story about Sunset Canyon was the most interesting; it mentioned a Human Clan girl who spent great effort to open the canyon's taboo.

Just as the Human Clan girl was about to enter and seek fortune, a powerful force surged and directly knocked her out.

When the girl came to, everything had already ended.

The great opportunities inside Sunset Canyon had been split among others.

The Human Clan girl was infuriated, yet had no options.

At that time, Yue Wuxia laughed heartily, almost to the point of losing breath.

She hadn't expected the unlucky fellow was the Ancient Divine Body, Chen Shixian...

And not long ago, in the mountains when the coffin and Holy medicine appeared, another unlucky fellow lying there, turned out to be Chen Shixian.

How unlucky is this?

Can her luck be any worse?

For once, Yue Wuxia didn't know what to say, not knowing how to offer comforts.

After a long while...

Yue Wuxia sighed lightly, "No worries, you've got me."

That's exactly what Chen Shixian was waiting for.

Chen Shixian felt indignant, gritting her teeth internally, "Hm, dare laugh at this girl, you'll regret it later."

She too sighed lightly, "Hmm..."

"What's wrong, Miss Chen?" Yue Wuxia asked worriedly, quickly inquiring, "Pingping said if Miss Chen needs anything, feel free to find me. As your big brother, I'll definitely help you out."

She was overwhelmingly exuberant.

Hearing these words, Chen Shixian instantly showed joy, the fish had taken the bait, she then feigned sadness and said, "Not long ago, I went through a terrifying battle, having injuries inside me; if powerful foes come, what should I do now!"

While speaking, her sadness grew more profound.

She seemed so pitiful, almost on the verge of tears.

The little monkey beside her secretly gave her a thumbs-up. "Awesome!"

This acting, so casually done.

No wonder she's the Ancient Divine Body!

Yue Wuxia heard this and offered a bright smile, "Geez, I thought it was a big issue! Just a few minions! Don't worry, with elder brother here, if they dare come, I'll crush them, one and all."

Chen Shixian was moved, "Really? You would truly help me?"

Yue Wuxia patted her chest, boldly saying, "We're all children of the cultivation world, going out relying on friends is normal, plus you're a good friend of Pingping, hence you're my good friend too. Now in trouble, I, as your big brother, would never leave you hanging."

Chen Shixian widened her eyes, confirming again, "Really?"

Yue Wuxia smiled, "Of course, I, Yue Wuxia, always keep my word, even if the Great Emperor comes to kill, I won't let Miss Chen suffer."

Waa!

So touching.

Chen Shixian had to admit, Yue Wuxia's words had deeply moved her.

Originally thought that the process of persuading Yue Wuxia would take more effort, but unexpectedly, the foolish Emperor Son directly patted her chest making a promise.

What a good person!

These days, she really misunderstood Yue Wuxia.

She thought Yue Wuxia was as despicable as Chen Pingping, targeting her everywhere. Huh... Thinking of this, Miss Chen felt ashamed.

Even having a heart of unwillingness.

The troubles on her end were overwhelming, being surrounded by dangers and the enemies stronger one after another; pulling Yue Wuxia down would harm this kind-hearted Emperor Son instead.

Miss Chen couldn't bear it, looking at the tea cup in her hand, then at Yue Wuxia's fearless composure, she opened her mouth but was stopped by the little monkey beside her.

The little monkey shook its head.

Oh!

Miss Chen was helpless, having to hold back, whispering to Yue Wuxia, "Miss, you really are a good person."

Yue Wuxia responded with droplets of sweat, waving her hand, "All children of the cultivation world, you help me, I help you, it's all normal!"

Miss Chen was moved, "It's my impoliteness." She silently decided, if she survives this ordeal, in the future if Yue Wuxia encounters trouble, she would go all out.

The two girls chatted joyfully, almost regretting not meeting earlier.

The little monkey watched this unfold, finding it more unsettling, yet dared not say a word.

Just at this moment...

A sinister wind blew in from outside the small town, bringing a chill like an ice cellar.

Everyone could clearly feel it.

The two girls, who were seated inside the inn enjoying their drinks, shivered and simultaneously lifted their heads.

Sound.

One of the most top-tier geniuses on the Ancient Road, rumor has it that he's constantly practicing an Ancient Skill, thus meditating intensely and when he opens his eyes in the future, it would be his invincible moment.

Of course, that's just a rumor. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

But even without opening his eyes, Sound's combat strength remained formidable, nearly unbeatable; almost no one on the Ancient Road dared provoke him.

Chen Shixian showed a fluctuation in her expression, inexplicably anxious.

The little monkey felt similarly.

Only Yue Wuxia maintained a calm demeanor, her bright eyes sparkled cunningly, looking around as if searching for something.

"It's him..."

"He's here."

"Surely he's here for that Human Clan girl."

"Haha, it's going to be fun."

"This one is quite strong! If he acts, the Human Clan girl would be overpowered."

"Not necessarily." People acknowledged Sound's strength but didn't underestimate Chen Shixian's fighting prowess.

A few believed, if they battled, it would be evenly matched.

Yet most agreed, Chen Shixian was finished...

Some insiders knew, they were fully aware of Sound's previous stance towards Chen Shixian, he had been acting, merely waiting for the right opportunity.

Now, they finally meet.

Just?

Seeing "Sound" step into the town, cultivators felt something odd as if something was missing?

Where's his palace?

Unlike before, Sound appeared very ordinary, aura reserved, lacking that overwhelming pressure.

Several hundred meters apart, Sound's fierce gaze targeted the inn, with only one goal, Yue Wuxia.

Yes!

Precisely Yue Wuxia.

But Miss Chen didn't know the reason, assuming this guy was here to slay her, she panicked, putting down her cup and blocked in front of Yue Wuxia. "Miss Yue, hurry and go!"

Eh eh eh!

Yue Wuxia looked at Miss Chen in front of her, a bit stunned, thinking, "This Ancient Divine Body is really a good person! As expected of the cultivation world's children, in a real pinch she's there..."

ps: Sound, Ancient City's young genius, previously appeared during the Wind Cloud List contest. In the same period, there was another Alien Race genius "Candle", also Dugu Family's Gudu Qingfeng.
