Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 727 - 726: Never Heard of It

The renowned Blackhead Duck, having excavated countless ancestral tombs, had made so many powerful enemies that even members of the Divine Clan, upon seeing it, would fly into a rage, wishing they could crush it with an Emperor Weapon.

It was notorious, to say the least.

Of course, Blackhead Duck itself was also audacious, fearing neither heaven nor earth. Even if someone from the Emperor Realm made a move, it wouldn't be the least bit flustered.

But over the long years, there were a few people who scared it out of its wits.

"Who is it? Can't you speak properly?" Wen Qingshan asked with disdain. "You're in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and yet a woman makes you this scared?"

"It's not... she's not a woman, she's a little girl, wait... there's no time, run!" Blackhead Duck's face turned pale.

The group was astonished. "A little girl?"

No way. A little girl could instill such fear in a being from the Quasi-Emperor Realm?

They looked at each other, finding the notion unbelievable.

Chen Pingping slapped it again. "Calm down. If she dares to act, I'll just crush her with a slap."

Blackhead Duck: "..."

How to explain? What to say? But indeed, it was a little girl. She had no realm, didn't cultivate, her face was the epitome of innocence and simplicity—honest and pure. She looked completely harmless when she smiled, yet she was absurdly powerful. Want to suppress her with a slap? Impossible.

"I have other things to do, I'll be leaving now," Blackhead Duck said, its voice trembling, wanting only to flee at this moment.

Forget the Four Symbols Array, forget the Divine Clan's great tombs; it wanted nothing to do with them anymore.

But Chen Pingping wanted them!

For the third time, Chen Pingping held it down, speaking with utter seriousness, "Dig the grave."

...

The October air was a bit chilly. Fallen leaves began to paint the landscape in vibrant hues, the scent of autumn spreading unabashedly across the land—rustic and refreshing to the core.

An ancient road... Beside it were two teahouses, sparsely populated. Passersby were few and far between, with only a few people walking by occasionally.

Among them were two figures: a young woman in her early twenties, with delicate, fresh, and pure features, and a seven- or eight-year-old girl. The child had a tender face and large eyes, and wore an oversized robe that caused her to wobble comically, yet endearingly, as she walked.

The woman in her twenties kept complaining, "That damn duck! Seeing me and daring to run away... Humph, next time I see it, I'll make sure it knows what True Fire tastes like."

Upon hearing this, the little girl by her side immediately began to drool. "That must be delicious."

"Not delicious at all. It's aged and tough like old cured meat, and stinky..." Yue Wuxia complained. "But, we could give red-braising a try." As she spoke, a cunning gleam lit up her smile.

"What's red-braising?" the little girl asked.

"You wouldn't understand."

"Sister, can I change my clothes? This robe is too big; I can't walk in it," she complained.

Yue Wuxia glanced at her and said calmly, "This is no ordinary robe, but a powerful suit of armor."

Her tone clearly indicated no intention of letting the little girl change.

Because she couldn't.

Yue Wuxia had brought the little girl all the way from the Southern Region. Along their journey, they encountered many dangers: bandits, various influential young masters, and fearsome beings like demons, beasts, and Demon Birds.

Some of these entities wanted their spiritual resources, others aimed to kidnap them, and some—like the demons, beasts, and Demon Birds—even wanted to devour them. They faced all sorts of terrifying threats.

Yue Wuxia trembled with anger. She was an Emperor Son, the daughter of an unrivaled, living master! To think that after just stepping out for a moment, so many blind fools had tried to lay hands on her.

Unbelievable.

She was ready to take action and resolve the situation, but... the little girl beside her charged out without a word.

That scene still left her shaken to this day.

The little girl was like an uncontrollable beast, tearing into the fray. If Yue Wuxia hadn't held her back, she probably would have devoured those attackers. That was just one incident.

Later, more formidable enemies appeared, and the little girl became increasingly bestial, like a fierce creature that had broken free from its cage, frenzied with blood-red eyes...

Oh boy!

Others underwent Demonization, but this was animalization!

There were also several instances when the little girl clearly lost all reason and even turned on Yue Wuxia.

Yue Wuxia was scared out of her wits.

Afterward, she stopped letting the little girl take action. Whenever they encountered a formidable adversary, she would hold her down to prevent the little girl from going berserk.

Once they entered Huangzhou, she pulled out the oversized robe.

The robe was a formidable piece of armor. Once donned, it could fend off attacks from anyone up to the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Of course, its primary purpose was to suppress the bloodlust within the little girl.

She tried it a few times, and the results were quite satisfactory.

During the journey, Yue Wuxia continually pondered, "What exactly is the origin of this little girl?"

"Behave yourself, or else Big Sister won't take you to find Father," Yue Wuxia said, blinking. "Do you want to see Father?"

"Yes!"

"Then will you wear it?"

"I'll wear it."

"Let's go!"

Yue Wuxia strode forward, with the little girl dragging the lengthy robe behind her, struggling to keep up…

Before long, they arrived at an ancient town.

Unlike typical towns, this ancient town was situated in a remote area, surrounded by mountains on three sides. Few people visited on ordinary days.

The town's population was also sparse, just a measly hundred or so.

However, today, many strangers had come to the ancient town. They were dressed in magnificent attire and carried themselves with an extraordinary air. Some, despite their plain clothes, exuded potent auras indicative of their cultivation.

Furthermore, there were some old men who appeared to have returned to a state of primal simplicity, but no one doubted their strength.

An unusual aura pervaded the entire ancient town.

However, for the two of them, this was not the priority—the main thing was they were hungry.

They hurriedly found an inn and ordered more than twenty dishes at once, drawing frequent glances from other patrons.

Many young men also noticed Yue Wuxia. She was attractive, with a fresh and refined air about her—the type of young woman who looked easy to fool.

An opportunity. If they could strike up a conversation, perhaps the evening wouldn't be so lonely.

"I am Wu An. Might I have the honor of getting to know you, miss?" a man in blue clothes approached, stating his identity directly.

Wu An.

The moment those two words were spoken, the whole inn was abuzz.

A young man from the Wu Family! And not just any young man, but one of their top five prodigies.

No one would have imagined that he would also show up.

Could the rumor be true? Had the Wu Family betrayed the Human Clan and allied with the Divine Clan? And now… were they preparing to forcibly break open the Xuanwu Area and dismantle the Four Symbols Array?

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the inn grew heavy.

"No!" Yue Wuxia refused flatly.

Huh?

Wu An was taken aback.

He was no ordinary cultivator, but a famed young prodigy from an Ancient Family.

Moreover, he was handsome, and in the past, countless women had expressed their affection for him, only to be dismissed.

Now, while on a mission, he hadn't expected to meet such a refined young woman as Yue Wuxia. Finding himself attracted, he had confidently approached her.

But to his surprise, Yue Wuxia didn't even look up as she flatly rejected him.

Her rejection was very resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Wu An wondered if perhaps she had not heard him clearly, so he said, "I am from the Wu Family, Wu An."

Yue Wuxia gave him a sidelong glance.

The onlookers sighed in admiration. An Ancient Family was truly an Ancient Family; even their young prodigies were so confident when approaching women.

When he first spoke, Yue Wuxia probably hadn't heard him clearly. But she must have now, right? On the lands of Huangzhou, who could refuse the advances of a young prodigy from an Ancient Family? Ah! The more they thought about it, the more dejected they felt—having status truly made a difference.

Those other young men were quite disgruntled. They too wanted to strike up a conversation and have a chance encounter with Yue Wuxia, but alas… Wu An had acted too quickly, leaving them with no choice but to watch longingly.

Now, with Wu An having revealed his identity, they could almost foresee what would happen next.

Of course, Wu An was also imagining it, the corner of his mouth curled up in a confident smile.

However…

Yue Wuxia fixed her gaze on him and said, "Never heard of you."
