Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 795 - 793: Just Say the Word, Senior Brother

The battle had ended, and all was calm.

Father and daughter had finally recognized each other.

Both were greatly moved. In An's eyes, her father seemed too young. If she hadn't seen him in action just moments ago, she wouldn't have believed the phrase "Father is invincible." For Chen Pingping, it represented a profound responsibility.

No one disturbed their reunion.

An chattered on about many things: how she had lived these years, the people she met, and so on. But mostly, she shared amusing stories, deliberately avoiding any mention of her hardships and the invisible pursuits she had endured.

Time passed...

An seemed to have endless topics of conversation, but she was incredibly weary and eventually fell asleep while talking.

Chen Pingping watched her with a look of indulgence as her small head rested on him. After making sure An was asleep, he slowly lifted his head. "Xiaoyu, how did you get here?"

He's only now remembering there's a 'concubine' here?

Guang Xiaoyu, her face full of jealousy, said in a plaintive tone, "After entering the Demon Cultivation Sacred Land, I didn't expect that the end of the path would lead to the Netherworld."

Chen Pingping asked in surprise, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He, Begonia Tree, and the others had been wandering in the Dead Sea until now, unable to find a way into the Netherworld. This had forced him to send his 'God' in, which had cost a great deal.

Guang Xiaoyu glared. "Senior Brother, how could I contact you?"

Chen Pingping was speechless. "..."

"Later, I subdued a Heavenly Demon," Guang Xiaoyu said, a twinkle in her eye and a hint of pride in her tone.

Chen Pingping shuddered. "You subdued it?"

He remembered that when they had encountered Desolation and Green Demon, hadn't he always been the one to subdue them before letting Guang Xiaoyu integrate with them?

Thinking of this, he frowned subconsciously. "Are you alright?"

Guang Xiaoyu smiled. "I'm not the Xiaoyu from before; I'm very powerful now. It was just a mere Heavenly Demon. Besides... Senior Brother, I've found a method for Cultivating Demon, hehe!"

She too was a chatterbox.

But Chen Pingping, knowing he couldn't maintain his presence for much longer, interrupted her. "Wait a moment."

He picked up the sleeping An and leaped up, heading towards a deserted area. Guang Xiaoyu and Lao Huang, the ox, followed closely behind.

It was then that Guang Xiaoyu noticed something amiss and intently scrutinized Chen Pingping. "Senior Brother, you!"

Chen Pingping sighed. "This is my 'God'—a deity condensed within the depths of my Sea of Consciousness, not a physical body. I can't hold on for much longer, so I couldn't speak freely back there. Now, I have a task for you."

Guang Xiaoyu's face turned solemn.

His physical body hasn't even reached the Netherworld, yet his 'God' crossed the interdimensional barrier. That must have come at a tremendous cost. And Senior Brother also severely wounded Gui Hua. For a moment, her heart was filled with worry.

"A fellow named Begonia Tree, who claims to be the Moon God's brother, led us into the Dead Sea, hoping to cross it. However, the Dead Sea is quite unique—vast and pathless. We have no idea when we might drift to the Netherworld," Chen Pingping exhaled a breath of turbid air. "Now there are two methods."

"What?"

"First, rely on luck, and enter whenever we drift to the Netherworld. Second, deep within the lands of the Netherworld, there's a tower called the Undead Demon Tower. Begonia Tree said that if we can light this tower, we'll be able to see the direction to the Netherworld from within the Dead Sea," Chen Pingping said gravely.

"I understand. I'll go light it right now," Guang Xiaoyu spoke.

"Wait..."

Chen Pingping shook his head. "The location of that Demon Tower is terrifying. It's a Life Prohibited Zone where, it's said, even gods dare not tread lightly."

Guang Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

Chen Pingping continued, "Go to the Land of Bitter Cold and seek out the Yuan. Reveal your identity and origins, and they will surely help you reach the Undead Demon Tower."

Yuan!

It was the most ancient lineage in the Netherworld and the loyal followers of the Emperor and Empress. In the past, when the little princess was in jeopardy, many strong members of the Yuan died protecting her on their journey. The Yuan Knight escorted the little princess into the Human Clan's world. In the cycles of Reincarnation that followed, he silently protected her, never leaving her side, until the Yuan Knight had exhausted everything.

Guang Xiaoyu had once seen the Yuan Knight. The image could be recalled with just a blink, as if it had happened only yesterday. She was deeply moved.

"Senior Brother, could it be that the people of the Yuan won't recognize me?" Guang Xiaoyu said dejectedly.

It would have been fine if Junior Sister had come. As a Demon cultivator, if I rashly break into that place, it would definitely be a life-or-death gamble.

Chen Pingping remained silent.

When Begonia Tree mentioned the Undead Demon Tower, its expression was also solemn. Although it offered hope, it wasn't much... Begonia Tree didn't want me to make this choice ultimately. That's one thing. The Land of Bitter Cold is also a very dangerous place. Back then, when Luo Feng Mountain pursued the Yuan, they had no choice but to flee into this place. Now... so many years have passed, it's unclear if the people of the Yuan are still alive. Or perhaps they've declined, their bloodline withered, and they've become ordinary members of the Ming Tribe? All these factors have to be taken into account.

I'm unwilling to let Xiaoyu take such a risk... Besides, she also has to protect An.

Unfortunately, in this vast Dead Sea, there's no way to find a direction. If we really have to rely on luck... how many years would it take? Ten years? A hundred years? Or even longer? I can't wait.

"Xiaoyu, listen to me," Chen Pingping said, looking at her. "Whether it's the Land of Bitter Cold, the Life Prohibited Zone, or even the final step of lighting the Undead Demon Tower, every part of this mission is fraught with peril. Your life could be at stake at any moment, even if you are an Emperor Realm master."

Guang Xiaoyu understood.

Chen Pingping continued, "The Netherworld, after all, is not the Heaven Martial Continent, nor is it the Nine Heavens. This place is filled with Qi Refiners of the Ming Tribe, and countless dangers lurk in the darkness. My 'God' cannot be maintained for too long. Once it dissipates, trying to enter the Netherworld again will be even more difficult. So, all that remains here are you, Lao Huang, and An."

"Even if there were a second option, I wouldn't want you to take that risk. Begonia Tree said that the structure of the Netherworld is different from the Human Clan's world. There are more than just the Ming Tribe here," Chen Pingping said, his eyes blazing with intensity.

"What?" Startled, Guang Xiaoyu asked, "Who else is there?"

Chen Pingping stated, "The Divine Clan."

I see! It's just like Huangzhou, invaded by the Divine Clan.

Guang Xiaoyu's expression was resolute, yet she appeared calm as she chuckled. "Senior Brother, don't make it sound so terrifying. I am, after all, the Demon Emperor!"

Although I'm a little nervous... as a Demon Emperor, and as Senior Brother's woman, if he asks, I must conquer this ghostly world! What Land of Bitter Cold, what Luo Feng Mountain, what Life Prohibited Zone—Hmph! When the Demon Emperor descends, I will sweep away everything!

Without waiting for Chen Pingping to speak, Guang Xiaoyu asked, "Senior Brother, did you bring Mao Qiu?"

Chen Pingping nodded. "Yes, it's on the airship."

Guang Xiaoyu said playfully, "Oh, oh! Can you send it here?"

In the distance, Lao Huang, the old ox, slowly lifted his head. His bright eyes were fixed intently on Guang Xiaoyu, his lips moving as if he were saying something.

Obviously, I'm being rejected again! Alas! The morals of the world have truly declined! I remember when this little girl used all sorts of cheap tricks to vie for my attention. Now, she actually despises me. It seems it's time for me to show what I can do! So thought Lao Huang, the old ox.
