Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 768 - 766: Agree with Your Opinion

Damn it! What a blunder, a blunder! I've actually been lured into a brothel by a little girl.

Guang Xiaoyu's expression was very dark. If her senior brother found out, how would she live it down?

Just as she was about to flee, a large group of lively, scantily clad women unexpectedly surrounded them. They extended over a dozen pale arms toward An, pinching her face, kneading her arms, and some even pressed the backs of their hands against her forehead.

"..."

The scene was somewhat unusual.

Guang Xiaoyu stood there, dumbfounded.

"An, you haven't visited us for several months now, WAH WAH WAH... Let Aunt take a look, have you lost weight?"

"You're all dirty too. Where have you been running around outside?"

"You! Don't you know how dangerous it is out there? It's good that you're back, really good!" They chattered away.

An struggled to break free from the cluster of aunts, her little face flushed bright red, and she muttered, "Aunt, Aunt, Aunt... let go of me, I'm running out of breath."

It took a while for her to regain her freedom.

Only then did a few of the women notice Guang Xiaoyu standing to the side.

She was very calm, her deep dark eyes undisturbed. Her plain clothes exuded cleanliness, inside and out, but... there was always an inexplicable fluctuation of aura around her, incompatible with that of a Qi Refiner from the Netherworld.

There's a problem with her! But it doesn't seem to be a major one.

An older woman with a smile looked at her, then took out several thousand Original Stones and handed them over. "Thank you for bringing our little An home. Here's your reward."

Clearly, she had no intention of keeping Guang Xiaoyu around. This girl's origins are unclear, she has no "Qi" at all, and everything about her is odd.

Guang Xiaoyu remained silent, just quietly watching them, her eyes flashing with a hint of amusement, as if mocking something. At least, that's how it appeared to the group of aunts.

Well, damn! She dares to mock us?

A group of gorgeous women sized up Guang Xiaoyu.

Seeing this, An wiped cold sweat from her brow and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, dear aunts! I forgot to introduce her. This is... uh... an older sister I met while I was away. She took care of me the whole journey, allowing me to arrive in Desert City safely."

So that was it. The group had a moment of realization, curling their lips but not asking further.

「Night fell.」

Madam Liu specially opened a private room on the second floor of the Jade Pavilion to welcome An and wash away the dust of her journey.

Large slices of beef, a whole beggar's chicken, a big chunk of lamb leg, and warm strong liquor...

These dishes are so coarse! Is this really a welcome feast for a little girl? It looks more like something for those bearded, foot-scratching brutes! Guang Xiaoyu thought.

At that moment, Madam Liu came over with a beaming smile and said, "Come on, An, eat while it's hot! These are all your favorite dishes."

An didn't stand on ceremony. She plopped down and immediately started tearing into a large leg of lamb, quite boldly. Guang Xiaoyu watched, utterly aghast.

Madam Liu looked at An, who was thoroughly enjoying her meal, and began, "Two years ago, you asked your aunt to inquire about some news. Now there's a lead."

"Oh?" An stopped what she was doing and looked at her.

"You must have heard some things when you entered the city. Recently, something big happened here," Madam Liu continued.

An nodded in agreement.

"A Secret Realm has opened. It's said to be an incomplete, illusory world created by a Big Shot at the moment of their death and disappearance. Inside lie many treasures, and there might even be that Big Shot's Emperor Weapon..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"The location of the Secret Realm is a bit odd. It's enshrouded in mist all year round, never seeing sunlight, and it's permeated with the smell of decay, along with... a special, quite eerie scent..."

"How eerie?"

"I can't quite describe it, but those who have entered have, without exception, found it very difficult to return..." Madam Liu said with a solemn expression. "The passage you're looking for might be there, or it might not."

An fell into thought. This matter requires caution.

"I've also heard that the Secret Realm is related to a Heavenly Demon, apparently called the Dark Demon?" a woman nearby interjected. "The dangers inside are numerous; we don't recommend you go in!"

At this mention, the group of women became visibly anxious.

Yet An remained silent, her brows furrowed.

Her mother encountered a great disaster, and she was powerless to help, unable to even lift a finger. Even... her so-called connections were so weak they were practically useless. The only plan now is to leave the Netherworld and seek reinforcements. She had heard her father was in a place called the Nine Heavens. If she could find the passage and reach the Nine Heavens, maybe... just maybe... she could save her mother!

A Dark Demon? Guang Xiaoyu, standing nearby, felt her eyes light up and her heart stir slightly.

She seemed to recall hearing of this Heavenly Demon before, but the records were vague. Could the aura fluctuations she had sensed earlier have been emanations from this Heavenly Demon? Oh ho! Interesting. Is this Heavenly Demon trying to entice me? I must go! This is the only chance.

An seemed to have made a decision and abruptly stood up. But before heading to the Secret Realm, there's something else I need to do... Hmm... bring Guang Xiaoyu along... This girl's origins are unusual, and she's incredibly strong. Bringing her will definitely be useful.

"Sister, I think there's a Great Opportunity deep in the Secret Realm…" An's eyes flickered, ready to tempt her.

Unexpectedly, Guang Xiaoyu nodded. "I agree with you."

An: "???"

The two women reached an agreement with mysterious and surprising speed, causing the onlookers to exchange astonished glances.

Upon seeing this, several aunts couldn't help sighing, yet they didn't object. Clearly, they were aware of An's situation.

One of them then said, "Right now, there's such an opportunity in Desert City. The City Lord has organized a team of young talents from the city. Among them is a girl named Ru Shuang. Her strength is average, not particularly outstanding, but she possesses a certain ability..."

"What ability?" An asked, curious.

"I'm not too sure myself, but it is said... this girl can find a safe path."

"Sigh... The commotion about the Secret Realm has spread far and wide. If you wish to compete for something, I'm afraid it will be difficult. An... we are truly worried about you!"

"That's right, An! Maybe you should reconsider?" the women urged, looking at her.

A little girl, who had not yet begun to cultivate, is about to venture into the Secret Realm and compete with a group of powerhouses for treasures. Too bold! the aunts thought.

However, An shook her head. "Aunts, I know you mean well, but... I must go on this trip." She then asked, "The team? Is there still a slot available?"

However strong Guang Xiaoyu might be, she's still just one person, An thought. If we could go with the team, perhaps we could avoid some unnecessary dangers.

Madam Liu spoke up, "Securing one slot wouldn't be a problem, given Jade Pavilion's connections and social standing in Desert City."

An was overjoyed. "Thank you, Aunt!"

"However," Madam Liu looked towards Guang Xiaoyu with a trace of worry, "slots are very limited. I'm afraid... the City Lord's side might not give us a second one!"

The two women: "???"

To be honest! For me, whether or not I go with the team is unimportant, Guang Xiaoyu mused. I don't need to.

But in An's view, if Guang Xiaoyu didn't accompany her, her own risk would greatly increase. Therefore, it was absolutely unacceptable.

An, her face troubled, pleaded, "Aunt! Please help me out!"

Madam Liu opened her mouth slightly, a look of frustration on her face.

A woman beside her couldn't help but say, "There is a way. Give the slot to this young lady, and let An accompany her. If An goes as her maid, surely no one would dare to object, right?"

What a good idea, Guang Xiaoyu thought, wanting to laugh. Whether I accompany them or not isn't important... but choosing an interesting way to do it could certainly lift my spirits. So, why not? This little girl is so clever and sharp; she's not one to be taken advantage of. But now, with me as the "young lady" and her as the "maid," traveling like this would definitely put her in her place, and I could order her around.

HEH HEH! Guang Xiaoyu blinked, her smile turning wicked. Little brat, you can't just take advantage of this emperor for free. There's a price to pay!

An's eyes widened in shock, a look of panic spreading across her face.
