Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 764 - 762 A Little Girl

Guang Xiaoyu muttered curses as she rushed out from among the mountains, Tch, a pair of back-stabbers thinking they can fool the Emperor? Dream on! Once I find a way, I will surely have your heads.

She had been somewhat panicked, but now she had calmed down.

The path of cultivating as a demon is fraught with difficulties; these are minor issues.

Following a trace of familiar energy fluctuations, Guang Xiaoyu arrived at an ancient town. It wasn't very large, with about three hundred buildings. A Long Street paved with grayish-brown stones stretched directly from one end of the town to the other.

Standing here, everything was clear at a glance.

The architectural style of the residences in the ancient town was vastly different from those outside; their colors were not vivid. Instead, they appeared rustic and elegant, yet also revealed subtle strands of peculiarity.

No sooner had she set foot in the town than she sensed some unusual atmospheres.

However, those sensations quickly dissipated.

Guang Xiaoyu's eyes roved around. Ignoring them, she picked an inn, ordered some wine and dishes, and began to eat with relish.

At that moment...

On Long Street, an old crone, leaning heavily on a cane, approached. Her figure was stooped, clad in a black robe, her steps tottering as if she might fall at any given moment. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Oh! An Array Master!

Guang Xiaoyu lifted the wine cup in her hand and drained it in one gulp. She had never expected that such a high-level Array Master would appear in such an out-of-the-way corner of the Netherworld.

Looking at her on-the-verge-of-death appearance, one would think... her level couldn't be too low, right?

Suddenly, the old crone lifted her head, fixing her gaze on her...

Only then did Guang Xiaoyu see her face clearly: exceptionally ugly, deathly pale, with wrinkled skin, as if she were a dead person who had crawled out of the yellow earth.

Even her eyes were the same—hollow and lifeless. A single glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

Luckily, Lord Demon Emperor is experienced and quite calm. After locking eyes with her for a while, she averted her gaze, thinking with indifference, Truly ugly!

For a full hour, she covertly observed the old crone.

Of course, her observation was mainly out of curiosity... really, no other reason. After all, Lord Demon Emperor is by nature kind, lively, adorable... As long as the other party doesn't cause me trouble, there won't be a problem.

Until ten minutes later, a little girl with ragged clothes, a dirty face, and bare feet arrived at the ancient town.

Guang Xiaoyu caught a flicker of killing intention emanating from the old woman, there and gone in an instant...

Guang Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled. Is this the old creature's target?

Soon, as the little girl passed the inn where Guang Xiaoyu was, she suddenly stopped, turned, and stepped inside.

"..."

Damn! Don't you realize someone wants to kill you? And you still strut in so casually.

Guang Xiaoyu offered another evaluation: Lacking intelligence.

In truth, one couldn't blame the little girl. How old was she? How much intelligence could she possess?

"Waiter, prepare a superior room for me with hot water. I want to take a bath. Also, bring me some of your inn's specialties," the little girl said, finding a seat and sitting down.

The waiter didn't even glance at her, clearly not taking the girl's words seriously, muttering to himself, "A poor beggar who probably doesn't have a copper coin to her name, yet wants to act like some rich young lady."

"Probably here to dine and dash," another young man chimed in from the side.

Damn! Judging a book by its cover.

The little girl, however, possessed a commanding presence. She slapped her small hand on the table, placing several Original Stones on it, and huffed, "Is this enough?"

"Seems like this waiter lacks discernment; he nearly missed out on a quality customer," someone remarked.

"Could they be stolen?" another speculated.

Perhaps the monotony of life in the small town fed the surrounding chatter.

Indeed, an ordinary person coming to an inn might not even be able to afford a superior room, let alone produce several Original Stones. From the little girl's attire, one could hardly guess her to be the young lady of some cultivating family.

Guang Xiaoyu quietly watched all this unfold without saying much.

However, as the little girl moved, a Jade Tag around her neck glimmered fleetingly into view.

The Jade Tag was simple and unadorned, flashing past without drawing much attention.

Before long, the old crone appeared in the inn.

Instantly, the entire atmosphere of the inn changed.

People whispered among themselves.

"Look quickly, that's Granny Gan, one of the nine great Array Masters of the Netherworld! She's very powerful. They say she once set up an intricate nine-entry, nine-exit bewildering array that trapped a major clan for over half a month."

"That ancient-looking cane in her hand is the key to her array formations, made from a segment of an Ancient Ferocious Beast's claw bone."

"I heard Granny Gan was once one of the foremost beauties in the Netherworld. But later, for some unknown reason, she failed to advance in her cultivation, her strength stopped increasing, and as time passed, her beauty faded."

"Think about it, what do beautiful women fear most? The twilight of their years, right? It's said she couldn't accept this, so her heart became twisted, and she actually..."

"Quick, quick, what did she do?"

Of course, the middle-aged man, who sounded like a storyteller, ultimately said no more.

Because at that moment, Granny Gan was staring daggers at him, her murky eyes radiating killing intention, as if one more word from him would mean he would never speak again.

But soon her gaze shifted. Her eyes, once dull, sharpened, becoming like those of a wild beast in the darkness, exuding greed and bloodlust as she fixed her stare on the little girl.

At that moment, everyone fell deathly silent, including the raggedly dressed little girl.

But her fear was clearly different from the others'. While everyone else was rendered speechless, she looked like she wanted to flee.

Her small body was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, her back taut, seemingly ready to bolt at any moment.

"Heh-heh!" Granny Gan grinned, letting out a bizarre, cackling laugh. She then took several steps forward, her bony hand reaching for the little girl as she said in a chilling, terrifying tone, "You still think you can escape?"

Who would have known the little girl was already prepared? The moment the old crone made her move, the little girl's small body sprang away with surprising agility, shrieking, "HELP! MURDER!"

Granny Gan was stunned.

She was a dignified eighth-tier Array Master. Even without setting up an array, her fundamental combat strength far surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator. Yet now... she had reached out to grab a little girl and had actually let her escape.

Seeing she was safe, the little girl burst into laughter, "Old witch, you're not so tough, HAHAHA..."

Dammit! To be taunted by a little girl who hasn't even begun to cultivate!

Granny Gan's wrinkled face instantly darkened, her gaze turning frigid.

She then pulled out an iron sword. There was a groove in its hilt for inserting an Original Stone. A blast of Sword Qi shot out, aimed directly at where the little girl stood.

"AAAHHH!"

"MURDER!"

"HELP ME!"

The little girl immediately started wailing, fleeing for her life in a sorry state.

But strangely, she managed to dodge every slash of Sword Qi. Though she looked like she was struggling, her movements were agile, like those of a wild animal.

Before long, everything in the inn was wrecked—tables with broken legs, shattered teacups, and broken plates. Several patrons were innocently injured in the crossfire.

The little girl was also covered in dust and grime, her stamina gradually depleting, and she was panting heavily.

It's over! I have no energy left. What do I do? What do I do?

She began to panic. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a figure.

The entire inn was on the verge of collapse, riddled with damage. Only Guang Xiaoyu's table seemed isolated from the battlefield, a world of its own. And she herself appeared exceedingly calm and at ease.

The important thing is, this woman looks very strong.

"Ah... Auntie, save me!"

The little girl had a sudden idea. A crafty glint in her eyes, she screamed and ran towards Guang Xiaoyu, her dirty little hands clutching at the hem of Guang Xiaoyu's clothes as she hid behind her.

Guang Xiaoyu's expression darkened.

Auntie? I %@&#(%&(@! I, a beautiful young maiden in the prime of my youth! Although I've lived for a long time... my appearance hasn't aged, and neither has my bone structure. I look to be just in my early twenties. How did I become your auntie? Utter nonsense!

Just as she was about to retort, the little girl looked up at her pitifully, her eyes filled with a desperate plea.

Seeing this, Guang Xiaoyu instantly forgot what she was about to say.

At this moment, Granny Gan, who had been about to strike, was also startled. She had been so focused on her attack that she hadn't noticed this woman. Now... scrutinizing her closely, she felt as if she were facing a powerful expert.

Her heart trembled. How can there be such a strong expert in this remote place?
