A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 223: My Partner

A fast horse galloped down the street.

The street wasn’t exactly lively, but it wasn’t deathly silent either.

At this hour, a big city should be blazing with lights.

But in a small town like this, it was already preparing to be swallowed by the dark.

Children playing outside were called home by their parents.

Vendors packed up their stalls.

“Rumble—!!!”

In no time, this remote town with tens of thousands of residents was completely wiped out under the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

All became vengeful spirits trapped within the banner.

Some nearby Mountain Gods, Land Deities, and Qi Refining cultivators came to investigate.

But they too were dragged into the banner by the scattered spirits.

The old emperor shook his black robe and gently exhaled.

He operated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to absorb power from it.

Just then, the old emperor’s expression suddenly shifted.

“........”

At this moment—

In the Imperial Palace of Daxia—

The old emperor sat slumped on the Dragon Throne, clearly exhausted, as he raised his eyes.

In the next instant, a figure silently appeared before him.

It was none other than Mount Shushan’s Sect Leader, Daoist Lingxu.

The old emperor narrowed his eyes. “Daoist Lingxu, you’ve come without notice. Is something urgent?”

Lingxu said nothing and strode directly toward the old emperor.

The old emperor looked at him, confused. “Daoist Lingxu...”

Lingxu clenched his fist, a thick killing intent surging around him.

The old emperor instinctively leaned back, but there was no room left to retreat.

“Boom—!!!”

Lingxu suddenly punched forward.

The old emperor didn’t move.

The force of the punch didn’t even graze his face—only brushed through his hair.

The old emperor’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

In the next moment, Lingxu withdrew his fist.

The old emperor exhaled heavily. “Daoist, what was the meaning of that?”

Lingxu suddenly took a step back and clasped his hands.

“Apologies, truly sorry. This humble Daoist had no choice but to use this method to identify the culprit!”

“Culprit? What culprit?”

“The one who caused trouble at my Mount Shushan and damaged the Demon Suppression Tower. I suspect his true identity may be that of a Tribulation Stage powerhouse hiding in Central State, so I came to test.”

“I see. Scared the hell out of me.”

The old emperor let out a breath of relief.

“Daoist, I’m only at the Body Fusion Stage. There’s no way I could take your punch.

Besides, I was at the scene that day—many people can vouch for me.”

“It was my overthinking. My apologies, my apologies.” freёweɓnovel_com

Lingxu spoke repeatedly.

He patted the old emperor on the shoulder.

“Come to think of it, we’ve known each other since childhood. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

The old emperor nodded. “You really scared me just now.”

After Lingxu left, the old emperor gave a cold snort.

“That old...”

Then, worried someone might hear, he silently added a line in his heart:

“Old b*stard. One day I’ll kill you. Still don’t know what that guy’s power limit is.”

The old emperor thought of Lingxu’s punch and still felt a lingering fear.

..........

On the vast ice plain—

Li Xuanxiao was still digesting the physical changes brought on by his breakthrough.

He figured he was stuck at Nascent Soul for this life.

He didn’t dare try Tribulation again. Next time, he wouldn’t be so lucky.

Thinking this, Li Xuanxiao glanced over at Di Nü Feng nearby.

Di Nü Feng was fast asleep.

Totally carefree, as if she had already forgotten being betrayed by her Deputy Sect Leader, that Tian Sha Hall might be changing hands,

That her magical artifact was damaged, and both her Divine Soul and physical body were injured.

If I were the Deputy, I’d take her out too!!

With a leader like this, what reason would you have not to betray her?

Look at Liu Qiushui’s leadership.

Even surrounded by multiple Tribulation Stage cultivators from Mount Shushan, and the Mount Shushan Sword Formation—

One of her Left and Right Guardians died on the spot to cover her retreat, vanishing completely.

The other was captured, brought back to Mount Shushan, tortured and threatened, yet not a word was said that would hurt Liu Qiushui.

Now look at Di Nü Feng.......

I mean, even if you’re going to promote a Deputy Sect Leader,

At least promote a male one, right?

With a body like yours that’s all E-curves and close contact,

How could a male deputy not be loyal to you?

“Ah~”

Di Nü Feng yawned hugely and rubbed her eyes.

Her big eyes looked dazed, and the first thing she said was:

“Eh? Where am I right now?”

Li Xuanxiao looked away. This wasn’t just a regular idiot.

This was an idiot straight out of a Wang Wei poem.

“How long will it take for you to recover from your injuries?”

“Maybe a few years. I still need to repair my magical artifact. But right now, the most important thing is to get my Sect Leader position back.”

Di Nü Feng checked herself out in a small mirror, speaking casually.

As if this were some trivial matter. She even mumbled:

“I need to make time to visit the Hehuan Sect for some medical cosmetic treatment.”

Li Xuanxiao took a deep breath.

For the Deputy to have tolerated her this long—she was truly something.

Just then, a wolf’s howl suddenly rang out outside.

The mechanism puppet immediately sprang into action.

Amidst the swirling snow, a white wolf lunged toward them.

This special mechanism puppet didn’t require spiritual power to operate.

It raised its large sword, and with a few nimble moves, slashed down the wolf.

However, under the cover of heavy snow, more white wolves charged forward.

They were predators of this snowy plain.

Li Xuanxiao frowned slightly.

This cave was fine for just him—

Even with Di Nü Feng added, it wouldn’t be detected by others.

Because of the spiritual power turbulence here.

But these white wolves had an unnaturally sharp sense of smell.

To them, Li Xuanxiao wasn’t even a blip.

But Di Nü Feng? She smelled delicious.

Di Nü Feng quickly put away her mirror.

The white wolves had already broken into the cave. Li Xuanxiao’s pre-set killing formation activated, instantly wiping out the pack.

“Roar!!”

A loud roar rang out.

A white wolf with a third eye on its forehead.

Di Nü Feng said, “Li Xuanxiao, go!”

“Don’t use your spiritual power,” Li Xuanxiao shouted urgently. “Suppress your aura! Don’t draw others here!”

“Roar!!”

The Three-Eyed White Wolf’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Li Xuanxiao and Di Nü Feng locked eyes.

Di Nü Feng’s expression shifted. “That kind of thing—I absolutely won’t do it again.”

Li Xuanxiao said firmly, “There’s no other way now!”

Di Nü Feng:.........

The Three-Eyed White Wolf raised its sharp claws high.

“Fuse, Supreme Dao Imperial Weapon.”

“Audi Twin Soldiers, my partner.”

Li Xuanxiao grabbed Di Nü Feng and charged toward the white wolf’s claws.
