Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 796 - 794: Senior Brother, I Want It

Of course, Lao Huang didn't care about these things. It felt that it had already integrated into this big family, and its usefulness and value didn't depend on its strength. Moreover, being a rather lazy ox, it absolutely refused to lift a hoof unless absolutely necessary. If Mao Qiu could accompany them, the pressure could be greatly reduced. Truly a brilliant idea! Lao Huang shook its massive head.

Meanwhile, Chen Pingping was still giving advice, his words filled with concern. He wanted Guang Xiaoyu to ignite the Undead Demon Tower, yet he feared she might encounter unforeseen dangers.

Guang Xiaoyu was no fool and could clearly sense his concern. Touched, she said with a smile, "Senior Brother, don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

Chen Pingping sighed. "If something happens, contact Master. Her cultivation is unique, and she should be able to come to the Netherworld to help you. I... might need some time."

Guang Xiaoyu nodded. Then... she suddenly remembered something, her face flushing red as she uttered in a very, very small voice, "Senior Brother, I want it!"

Chen Pingping cleared his throat. "Stay calm, I'm not in a physical body right now."

"Oh!" Guang Xiaoyu felt a bit disappointed. Pouting, she said, "Then let's wait until your physical body arrives. We'll have a child too."

Chen Pingping laughed. "We will. We'll give An a little brother, or perhaps a little sister."

"A little brother..." She blinked. "A girl and a boy."

"Alright!"

"Senior Brother, how much longer can you maintain this?"

Chen Pingping exhaled slowly, glanced at An in his arms, then looked towards Xiaoyu. "Not much longer. No matter what, ensuring your own safety is the top priority. Don't act rashly; think thrice before you act. You're all I have left in the Netherworld."

Guang Xiaoyu responded cheerfully, "I know! I'll complete the mission perfectly!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Chen Pingping said no more, as his figure started to dissipate, turning into a shower of light that drifted into the air. He felt helpless, but more than that, he was worried.

Then he looked towards Lao Huang not far away. "Take good care of them."

MOO!

Lao Huang raised its head and let out a cry in response to Chen Pingping.

"Goodbye, Senior Brother!" Guang Xiaoyu waved her hands vigorously, her smile unwavering. "Senior Brother, you'll miss me! Senior Brother, next time your physical body arrives, I'll bear a little brother." But... as soon as Chen Pingping completely vanished, the smile on her face instantly froze.

She gazed at the dim sky, as if expectant, or perhaps watching something. Her emotions were in turmoil.

Lao Huang strolled over leisurely.

HAAH! Guang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and said with a light laugh, "I can do this. I will definitely enter the Land of Bitter Cold, seek out the experts of Yuan, then enter the Life Prohibited Zone, and ignite that ancient Demon Tower."

She comforted herself. But in reality, she felt quite chaotic inside. In the vast Netherworld, she was all alone—oh, with the exception of an old ox. Facing this unknown world, she was about to journey forth, while also needing to protect little An. Indeed, I have a heavy responsibility.

But then?

On further thought, isn't this what I've been looking forward to?

The Demon Emperor should shine brightly, carving out a bloody path for my Senior Brother.

With this in mind, the gloom in Guang Xiaoyu's heart dissipated considerably. She stroked Lao Huang's head and said softly, "Oh, Lao Huang, if only you could talk!"

Lao Huang: "..."

Wen Yuqing had once said the same. Perhaps it was due to loneliness...

Gradually, Guang Xiaoyu calmed down. After about an hour, An finally woke up. Her first words upon opening her eyes were, "Father!"

Unfortunately, as she searched heaven and earth, she couldn't find Chen Pingping's figure.

An stared with wide eyes. "Where's my father?"

Guang Xiaoyu softly answered, "He's still on the way."

Hearing this, An's spirits immediately deflated. Still on the way?

I knew it!

Just before, looking at Chen Pingping felt strangely unreal, completely lacking the sensation of a flesh and blood body. Now that I've woken up, Father has indeed gone. An looked lost, gazing at the sky.

Guang Xiaoyu comforted her, "Don't panic, your father has left a task for you."

"Ah?" An looked at her. "What task?"

Guang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "She said that when you become strong, it will be the day he descends to the Netherworld. Therefore, before your father arrives in the Netherworld, you must diligently pursue your cultivation."

An's heart trembled with determination. "I understand. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation."

"Hmm... given time, I hope you can fight side by side with your father," Guang Xiaoyu said with a smile...

A breeze blew, and their dresses swayed.

The two women and the ox walked further and further away until they disappeared from sight.

「Some ten minutes later.」

A group of powerful beings arrived, only to find no trace of the two women.

「Luo Feng Mountain.」

This name signified much more than just a mountain; it was a region and, even more so, an immortal power. It had existed since long before the bygone eras, ever since the Netherworld was established and the Ming Tribe was born. To put it simply, the one dwelling on Luo Feng Mountain has witnessed the Netherworld from its inception to the present. He single-handedly created the order of life, planned the Netherworld, and bestowed upon the Ming Tribe the right to live. In short, in the eyes of the Ming Tribe, this Nether Emperor is like a God—mighty and awe-inspiring, yet so terrifying.

Some say that he created a Netherworld and is a True God in the full sense of the word. But ancient records state that the Nether Emperor has destroyed the Netherworld multiple times, slaughtering all creatures and treating living beings as food to devour. So, is the Nether Emperor a god or a demon? In the Netherworld, no one can clearly distinguish.

Gui Hua, who had suffered a severe injury and was still covered in his own gruesome blood, returned to Luo Feng Mountain. Along the way, many Qi Refiners from Luo Feng Mountain showed expressions of amazement, for this great general of the Netherworld had been gravely injured.

Who did it? they wondered. Could it be an Undying King?

But soon, they dismissed this thought. The four Undying Kings had been in slumber for ages and had yet to awaken. They almost never meddled with the affairs of Luo Feng Mountain; not even great calamities could stir them. They were known as figures of Mount Tai-level importance in the Netherworld—in a word, steadfast. So, in a Netherworld where the Undying Kings slept, who could have gravely wounded Gui Hua?

He moved deeper until he finally arrived before a bottomless abyss. He stood silently, motionless, allowing the blood to flow from his body.

After a very long wait, a response finally came from the abyss, "You're injured."

The voice was very deep, slightly hoarse, and even somewhat hollow. It was contradictory, as if it didn't belong to this world but had traveled here from another. This was the voice of the Nether Emperor. If not for the Undying Power in the abyss that acted as a barrier, a single word from the Nether Emperor might have shattered Gui Hua's eardrums.

"Yes," Gui Hua responded, his voice devoid of sorrow or joy, perfectly calm.

"Who?"

"The Moon God's man," Gui Hua said. "He has not yet reached the Netherworld. Only his 'divine projection' descended, yet it severely wounded me."

The abyss below remained silent.

Gui Hua continued, "He is very strong. He has cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation of Heaven Tao."

Upon these words, ripples began to spread through the still, bottomless abyss.

Six Tao of Reincarnation.

Again, the Nether Emperor seemed to recall something.

Gui Hua waited quietly.

「Meanwhile, outside Luo Feng Mountain.」

An uproar had already erupted, as news of Gui Hua being gravely wounded spread far and wide. All the lands of the Netherworld were shaken with shock. The Moon God's man had descended to the Netherworld and severely wounded Gui Hua! This was startling news.
