A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 222: Secretly Updating

The old emperor under the black robe let out a cold laugh.

“Trying to escape from this old man’s Divine Sense?”

In an instant, the old emperor’s Divine Sense shattered into billions of fragments, scattering across the ice plain.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had clenched the air—inescapable, a heavenly net sealed the sky and earth!

However, as the old emperor’s Divine Sense reached the depths of the ice plain, it encountered some interference.

Hm?

The old emperor frowned slightly.

“............”

At this moment—

Li Xuanxiao was carrying Di Nü Feng into a secluded hideout he had prepared in advance.

Unexpectedly, this plan actually came in handy.

It was a carefully chosen escape spot by Li Xuanxiao.

The teleportation array had cost him a fortune to construct.

It could teleport someone thousands of miles in an instant.

Of course, it only sent you thousands of miles away.

Still, Li Xuanxiao didn’t think that was enough.

The teleportation array’s destination was the depths of this ice plain.

The surrounding storms were surging wildly, constantly churning the space and rendering spiritual power chaotic and unstable.

Even those with high cultivation would have their Divine Sense seriously interfered with in this place, unable to clearly perceive their surroundings.

On top of that, Li Xuanxiao had used a special Concealment Talisman...

Only then could he feel slightly at ease.

“All right, you can let go now.”

Li Xuanxiao said to Di Nü Feng who was clinging to his back.

Di Nü Feng had both her arms and legs wrapped around him tightly, refusing to let go.

“No way!”

Di Nü Feng said firmly.

Li Xuanxiao:.........

“Let go, we’ve already escaped.”

Di Nü Feng: “No!”

Clearly, Di Nü Feng had zero trust in Li Xuanxiao right now.

Li Xuanxiao fell silent.

After struggling for a while, he chose to give up.

Including but not limited to dragging her along the ground, slamming into walls, even farting...

Fine, you win!!

Li Xuanxiao sat down on a meditation cushion.

The good news: he’d broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The bad news: it seemed like he was stuck at Nascent Soul.

He had clearly passed the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

But at the end, another killing tribulation came out of nowhere. If Di Nü Feng hadn’t helped block it—

He’d probably be sipping soup at the Bridge of Forgetfulness by now.

If this was the tribulation to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage...

Then even eight lives wouldn’t be enough to survive it!!

The path of cultivation wasn’t just full of twists and turns.

There was no path at all—whichever way he stepped was a sheer cliff.

Now Di Nü Feng was still injured, and she had helped him block that thunder tribulation.

When it came to dealing with the old emperor, Di Nü Feng was absolutely a key force.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help but ask:

“By the way, why were you being hunted down by the Emperor of Daxia?”

“Huh? Which Emperor of Daxia?” Di Nü Feng asked, confused.

“The black-robed one chasing you.”

“He’s the Emperor of Daxia? He has such high cultivation? That b*stard!” Di Nü Feng ground her teeth.

“Who was the other one?” Li Xuanxiao asked.

“She’s the Deputy Sect Leader of my Tian Sha Hall, and also my Junior Sister.”

The moment she mentioned this, Di Nü Feng’s mood visibly dropped.

Li Xuanxiao said, “Tian Sha Hall’s Deputy Sect Leader? Isn’t she your person?”

“Mm, she betrayed me. Betrayed Tian Sha Hall.”

“Why would she betray you? Tian Sha Hall is on the rise. As Deputy Sect Leader, she’s second only to you, above ten thousand others.”

“She said she built Tian Sha Hall all by herself. That everything over the years was her effort alone.

Without her, Tian Sha Hall would’ve collapsed long ago under my leadership.

She even said she’s been tolerating me for a long time, said I must’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey.

That I only know how to fight and don’t know anything else...”

Di Nü Feng sniffled, face full of grievance.

Ծ‸Ծ

Li Xuanxiao was silent.

Hmm. Suddenly, he really understood why the Deputy Sect Leader betrayed her.

Thinking about it, the Deputy really hadn’t had it easy all these years.

Di Nü Feng was your classic case of big boobs, no brains.

Being a fellow woman—

Having to endure someone higher-ranked than you, dumber than you, and with bigger boobs?

No woman could take that.

“So what now?” Li Xuanxiao said seriously. “Will the rest of your subordinates still follow you?”

Di Nü Feng nodded. “Mm! Aside from the Deputy Sect Leader, Tian Sha Hall still has the Four Guardian Vajras, the Twelve Earthly Branch Demon Generals.....”

“They’ll all listen to you?”

Di Nü Feng hesitated, then nodded again.

“Yes!!”

That’s a no then.

Li Xuanxiao sucked in a breath.

“May I ask, who exactly are these Four Guardian Vajras?”

“They are: the Blood Prison Vajra, who is the Deputy Sect Leader’s younger brother.

Poison Bodhisattva, the Deputy Sect Leader’s Dao partner.

Lady Bone, her second uncle.

And the Bone Envoy, whom the Deputy Sect Leader saved once.”

Li Xuanxiao:........

So... all your top brass are her people??

Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help rubbing his temples.

He had thought that by getting Di Nü Feng on his side, he’d basically have control over Tian Sha Hall.

Now it seemed he had completely overestimated things.

Not only did he fail to control Tian Sha Hall—

Even worse, the Deputy Sect Leader of Tian Sha Hall had teamed up with the old emperor.

And the old emperor now had control of Tian Sha Hall—

The most powerful demonic sect in all of Central State at the moment.

“You mean you had no clue the Deputy Sect Leader had been making moves?” Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help complaining.

“Of course I did!” Di Nü Feng replied righteously.

She drifted into memory.

“.............”

A hundred years ago.

“Leader, one of the Four Guardian Vajras is now gone. According to sect rules, a replacement must be appointed.

I recommend Lady Bone—she’s strong and a founding member of our sect. She deserves the position.”

The Deputy Sect Leader bowed low, speaking cautiously.

Di Nü Feng blinked.

(๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

“Before we talk about that—starting today, all Tian Sha Hall members must laugh the same way to show our professionalism. I’ve compiled a few options.”

“HAHAHA!!”

Di Nü Feng threw her head back with her hands on her hips.

“Pffft puh pfft~”

“That’s option two.”

“Heh heh.”

“Also, y-y-ying~”

“Finally, there’s—jeh jeh jeh!”

The Deputy Sect Leader paused. “I think the last one is the best.”

Di Nü Feng nodded approvingly. “I think so too. Jeh jeh jeh! It’s settled—we’ll use that laugh whenever we show up.”

“Okay.” The Deputy Sect Leader nodded with a smile.

“Oh right, what were you saying just now?”

“I was recommending Lady Bone as one of the Four Guardian Vajras.”

Di Nü Feng frowned. “So currently, the Guardians are your Dao partner, your second uncle, someone you saved, and your younger brother...”

The Deputy Sect Leader’s heart trembled.

“Wow, they’re all our people—how reliable!”

Deputy Sect Leader: “...Y-yeah~”

“........”

Di Nü Feng snapped out of her memory. “I already sensed something was off back then. Too bad... I couldn’t stop her.”

Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help sighing—this squad was impossible to carry.

Now he had one more job—help Di Nü Feng recover quickly.

After finishing his breakthrough, Li Xuanxiao immediately contacted Jia Sidao and Zhang Haoran.
