CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 460 SENIOR BROTHER, I HAVE AN IDEA

Lao Huang’s gaze grew even kinder, a slight smile in its eyes. This made Zhu Menting not dare to linger; his scalp tingled as he turned and stumbled away.

Sigh! Guang Xiaoyu let out a soft sigh, somewhat melancholic.

The courtyard, bustling just a moment ago, was now empty, leaving only her.

Cultivating Demon is so difficult.

She lowered her eyelids, silently contemplating.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure approached from outside the door.

It was Chen Pingping.

Guang Xiaoyu subconsciously lifted her head, her face lighting up with joy. "Senior Brother!"

"He didn’t do anything to you, did he?" Chen Pingping swept his gaze across the courtyard.

He? Guang Xiaoyu’s heart jolted. So Senior Brother knew all along. At this thought, she was secretly moved and responded, "No."

Chen Pingping cursed under his breath, "If it weren’t for those bastards from Fairy Valley causing so much trouble, I would have come over sooner."

Guang Xiaoyu suppressed a laugh. "The elder just left."

"Really? Why did he run off so fast?" Chen Pingping rolled his eyes.

"He’s afraid of you."

"Afraid of me? For what?"

"That you’d use Yu Changfeng to trick him again," Guang Xiaoyu said, blinking.

"What do you mean, ’again’? Our Master is still alive," Chen Pingping grumbled. "Master is right here in the Wuji Sect."

"Senior Brother..." she called out softly.

"Hm?" Chen Pingping approached her. "What’s the matter?"

Guang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment but still didn’t voice her thoughts.

The process of Cultivating Demon, as mentioned by the Sword Saint, was fraught with extreme difficulty. Some stages were literally a matter of life and death, and she needed someone to act as a guardian for her. Not only that, but she also needed to enter the Western Wilderness to find something. If it had been before, it wouldn’t have been much of an issue. But now she was weak; to those beings in the Western Wilderness, she was as insignificant as an ant. If her identity were exposed, she would undoubtedly die.

Guang Xiaoyu had considered two options: one, to have her Senior Brother accompany her, or two, to give up on Cultivating Demon.

"You don’t have a choice," the Sword Saint had said, looking at her. "Whether you are a Demon Seed or just an ordinary demon cultivator, you shouldn’t exist in the Human Clan’s territory. The people on the frontier, who are in constant bloody conflict with the Demon Race and demon cultivators, utterly despise them. Currently, with war raging everywhere, they are too busy to deal with anything else. But what about after the war ends?"

The Sword Saint had added, "You hide yourself well, but I can still detect your aura. They can too."

Guang Xiaoyu remained silent.

"The frontier is a terrifying place," the Sword Saint had explained. "They are in frequent contact with the Demon Race and demon cultivators, possessing an astonishing sense of smell for them and making sharp judgments."

Yes! Those people are very strong and equally repelled by demon cultivators.

Unless she could completely conceal herself or succeed in Cultivating Demon. Only then could she live peacefully in the Human Clan’s territory and not negatively impact the Wuji Sect’s development.

Before leaving, the Sword Saint had given her some advice: "Actually, with the Wuji Sect’s current strength, combined with the City of Extinction’s presence, even if they knew you were a demon cultivator, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly."

"Wouldn’t dare" is an uncertain statement.

Between the lines of the Sword Saint’s words, there was another implication: "You are different from others."

Guang Xiaoyu felt somewhat frustrated.

"What’s wrong?" Chen Pingping asked. "Did that guy bully you?"

"No," she shook her head. "I just feel like everything is so difficult!"

"Difficult?" Chen Pingping chuckled. "Then just don’t do anything. Rest well."

Guang Xiaoyu added, "Senior Brother, are you saying you want me to be just a decorative vase?" She blinked, a faint smile on her lips.

A vase? Chen Pingping was taken aback, unsure of what she meant or what she wanted to do.

The courtyard gradually grew quiet.

In the western sky, the sun slowly sank, branding the horizon a fiery, beautiful red, like a piece of searing iron.

After a long moment, Chen Pingping spoke softly, "Little Junior Sister once told me some things about Cultivating Demon. Actually, you don’t need to dwell on this. Whether or not you go through with Cultivating Demon isn’t that important. As long as I, your Senior Brother, am alive, no one in the Nine Heavens will dare to touch you."

WUU WUU! Damn it, why does Senior Brother have to be so good to me? Guang Xiaoyu was deeply moved. Looking at Chen Pingping, her heart melted, and she wished she could have many children with him right then and there.

So, with a mischievous impulse, she blurted out, "Senior Brother, I want to sleep with you."

Chen Pingping was shocked.

Lao Huang, the old yellow ox, mooed softly a few times and deliberately walked out of the courtyard.

She seemed to realize what she had said only then. Her cheeks flushed scarlet, and she shyly lowered her head, her heart pounding. She felt nervous, scared, yet also expectant.

SMACK! Chen Pingping gave her a light rap on the head, laughing as he scolded, "What are you thinking about?"

"WUU WUU..." Guang Xiaoyu complained aggrievedly, "Senior Brother, you’re bullying me."

"Come on, recite the sect’s introductory Dharma Principle," Chen Pingping glared at her.

"But the introductory Dharma Principle doesn’t say I can’t sleep with you!" Guang Xiaoyu retorted boldly.

Chen Pingping was speechless.

"See?" Guang Xiaoyu smiled triumphantly, like a victorious Great General flaunting her conquest.

Chen Pingping rolled his eyes. "Alright! If you achieve Tao Verification and then Emperor Cheng, I’ll let you sleep with me." He shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

That was Tao Verification, and that was Emperor Cheng. Throughout the long ages, those who could reach that step were few and far between. He certainly didn’t think Guang Xiaoyu could do it.

However... upon hearing this, Guang Xiaoyu immediately grew excited. "Really?"

Just moments ago, she had been hesitating about whether to go to the Western Wilderness or to pursue Cultivating Demon. Now, she had her answer.

Go! I must pursue Cultivating Demon!

Not only that, she was determined to succeed and undergo Tao Verification again. After all, she had once been a Demon Emperor. A second Tao Verification would merely mean treading a path she had already walked.

What difficulty could there be? None! Tao Verification, Emperor Cheng, then sleep with Senior Brother. It’s a solid plan!

Guang Xiaoyu beamed, as happy and carefree as a child.

For a moment, Chen Pingping was also dazed. This girl has really grown up! he realized. He recalled when she first joined the sect; she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl then.

Chen Pingping shook off those thoughts and changed the subject. "The City of Extinction should be very safe for a while; no one will make a move. You’ll come back with me later. I’m leaving on a long journey tomorrow."

"Where to?" Guang Xiaoyu asked, tilting her head.

"A place called a Secret Realm." He thought for a moment and decided there was no need for secrecy. "The Dragon Soul Secret Realm."

"OH, OH, OH! That place!" she exclaimed. "There’s an Emperor Realm powerhouse there who’s deader than dead."

"How do you know?" Chen Pingping stared at her.

Oops, I’m doomed! Guang Xiaoyu instantly shut her mouth. Because I’ve been there! In the depths of the Dragon Soul Secret Realm, there was a deceased Emperor Realm powerhouse. His flesh was incorruptible, and his blood still flowed. What was terrifying was that a black flower had grown on his body, alongside a fiercely burning flame. I was in a hurry back then and didn’t have time to pick them, so I left the Dragon Soul Secret Realm.

"Senior Brother, take me with you!" Guang Xiaoyu had originally planned to sneak off to the Western Wilderness while he was away. But now that she heard her Senior Brother was heading to the Dragon Soul Secret Realm, how could she pass up this chance? That place is so dangerous; I have to lead the way myself!

Chen Pingping shook his head. "No. You and Zi Ji will stay in the City of Extinction."

"If you won’t let me go, then you have to let me sleep with you!" she said indignantly.

Chen Pingping was rendered speechless again.
