Wanting to Hug Senior Brother; Conferring the Divine Son

As the array plate spun, You Su smiled faintly and disappeared with his senior sister into the sea of clouds swirling around the mountaintop.

The Third Elder was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and spat out a curse:

"You brat!"

He could only shake his head and head down the mountain path.

"Junior brother, thank you..."

The Little Flower climbed back into Wangshu's hair, serving as a hairpin.

Wangshu lowered her head, not daring to look at You Su. Her right hand was behind her back, and she unconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt, her nervousness visibly palpable.

You Su brightly and said solemnly:

"I will definitely keep my promise to my senior sister."

The Wangshu Fairy suddenly paused, her misty eyes seemingly filled with shimmering water vapor.

The girl took a step forward, You Su was so frightened that she retreated to the corner of the crystal cabin. Wangshu, however, reached out and grabbed You Su's hands without saying a word.

My senior sister practices swordsmanship diligently, yet her hands show no signs of roughness whatsoever; they feel like jade or agate, making them irresistible to the touch.

However, You Su was surprised to find that her senior sister's palms were no longer icy cold, but warm and moist.

This girl, whose body temperature was cold due to her Innate Pure Heart, suddenly felt burning hot all over because of his few words.

"Senior sister... are you alright?"

Wangshu shook her head in response, but You Su could clearly hear that her almost imperceptible breathing had become a little more rapid.

You Su frowned slightly. Last time, his senior sister's body temperature rose because of their unexpected intimacy while she was in Little Flower's womb. Why would there be a change this time, without any physical contact?

Could it be that the reason my senior sister's body temperature is elevated... is because she's fallen in love?

The girl gripped You Su's hand even tighter, and You Su could even feel a slight pain.

Being held by her senior sister like this all the time couldn't go on, You Su asked:

"Senior sister, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wangshu Fairy raised her eyes, her gaze complex and indescribable.

"I really want to... really want to hug my junior brother..."

The girl in the white dress spoke earnestly, as if pleading.

She knew that her junior brother often used the excuse of "men and women should not touch each other" to deliberately keep his distance from her, but she still couldn't help but feel the restless emotions in her heart.

She didn't know why, but after her junior brother said those things, she felt an increasing desire to get closer to him and become more intimate with him.

Until just now, this feeling had reached its peak.

Wangshu gripped You Su's hand tightly, as if to prevent him from escaping, and the air pressure in the crystal cabin gradually increased due to the girl's excited emotions.

You Su pursed her lips slightly.

He had just decided to treat his senior sister as an equal in terms of affection, so now, faced with her request to embrace him, he had to be even more cautious.

He wasn't holding a little girl, but a woman with an independent will.

The words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue, but You Su just couldn't bring herself to say them.

My senior sister probably likes me too...

If she doesn't like me, who else could she like?

You Su tried to imagine other men embracing her senior sister, but she could only picture her own face.

You Su seemed to have made a major decision, and her eyes suddenly became firm.

I guess I'm a greedy person... but I really can't give up any of them...

Then let me strive to be worthy of my greed!

You Su stretched out her other hand, which was not being held, opened her arms, and said:

"Senior sister, feel free to hug me if you want."

Wangshu glanced at You Su in surprise.

She was very tall, only slightly shorter than You Su, and suddenly threw herself into You Su's arms, like a fledgling returning to its nest.

Instantly, a soft, warm fragrance enveloped him.

You Su reached out and gently patted the girl's beautiful back. In an instant, it was as if the white brocade was flawless and fragrant, and the snow-white hair and jade-like buds were full of tender feelings.

This ethereal and exceptionally talented Fairy, who transcended the mortal realm, couldn't distinguish her own emotions; she only knew that she wanted to stay by her junior brother's side forever.

They remained silent, only embracing each other.

You Su quietly pressed the pause button on the cloud ladder. The vast sea of clouds enveloped them, and You Su felt that the girl Yan Yan in his arms was light and graceful, as if she were made of clouds.

The Third Elder had leisurely made her way down the mountain, frowned as she looked at the foot of the mountain and muttered to herself, "Why is this Heavenly Ladder so slow? I've already walked down the mountain and I'm still not at the bottom."

However, she didn't have time to delve into the details of the Heavenly Ladder. The most important thing now was to come up with a reason to explain to the people in the Evil Warding Department.

The beautiful woman shook her head, took a sip of the fine wine from the jug, and then boarded the banana leaf-shaped Green Boat and disappeared from the spot.

Halfway there, they encountered the First Elder was also going to the meeting, who was also the Heavenly Arts First Seat, one of the three chiefs of the Evil Warding Department Division.

The Third Elder briefly explained to the First Elder the reason why You Su could not come today, and expressed his strong condemnation of You Su's behavior but said there was nothing he could do about it.

"The Third Elder seems to have a special interest in this You Su."

Surprisingly, the First Elder did not get angry; instead, he smiled.

The Third Elder's face froze, not understanding what he meant.

The First Elder continued:

"If the Third Elder truly believes he's not behaving this way, he could simply have him bound and brought here. Why waste time explaining himself to him?"

The Third Elder remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh:

"I could tell that Wangshu really didn't want her junior brother to leave. She rarely expresses her wishes like this, so I acquiesced to their decision."

"Then let them have one more day of fun."

The First Elder stood suspended in mid-air, his hands behind his back.

The Third Elder First Elder was easygoing and valued You Su, so it was understandable that he would indulge You Su's willfulness.

But the others in the Evil Warding Department...

What if they have objections?

The First Elder stroked his long beard and asked with a smile:

"So what if he has objections? Third Elder, you told me last time that this kid lacks the awareness of being a divine son. In my opinion, isn't he quite competent?"

The Third Elder frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally understood the meaning behind the First Elder.

She also laughed at herself:

"We haven't seen any self-awareness in cleansing the world for the common people, but he's certainly adept at displaying his official power."

The First Elder shook his head and said:

"More than abusing his official power, his main reason for doing this was probably revenge."

"Revenge?"

The Third Elder shook the jade wine gourd with great interest, waiting for the First Elder to continue.

"The Evil Warding Department n't treated him well before, and he even faced death threats from them. You Su not only kept quiet about it, but he also cooperated extremely well in his actions. But he was, after all, just a young man. What young man wouldn't Resentment Qi when faced with something he couldn't control?"

Who wasn't full of passion and couldn't stand the slightest frustration when they were young?

"To dare to vent one's Resentment Qi on them, I don't know whether to call it foolish or brave."

The Third Elder said quietly.

"Neither, it's intelligence."

The First Elder gave an answer that the Third Elder had not expected, and made no attempt to hide the approval in his eyes.

What does that mean?

"Because he knows very well that after proving his specialness, the position of the divine son is rightfully his. His value in living is greater than killing him, and that's the source of his confidence. This time, he deliberately left us hanging for a day, partly out of youthful impetuosity, but also to tell us that he is a noble divine son, not a tool for us to manipulate."

The Third Elder nodded upon hearing this, pursing her red lips slightly.

Frankly speaking, the conferment of the title of Divine Child was indeed too hasty. For such an important ceremony, to only notify her on the day itself to relay the message to You Su —wasn't that a form of arrogance?

"He would have thought of that?"

The Third Elder felt it was pointless to ask; who knew what that blind man, who always appeared so confident and composed, was thinking?

The First Elder remained noncommittal, smiling as he flew towards the Evil Warding Department.

"Perhaps the biggest reason is that he values his senior sister more than anything else..."

The next morning.

The ceremony to confer the title of the divine child was indeed postponed by one day.

This time, it wasn't the Third Elder who came to pick up You Su, but the highly respected First Elder.

"Did you have a good time at Beast Taming Peak with your senior sister yesterday?"

The First Elder casually cast a Technique Method, and a six-pointed star Magic Array materialized beneath You Su's feet, allowing him and the First Elder to traverse the void together.

"I'm very happy, thank you for your concern First Elder."

After escaping her senior's hug yesterday, the girl's body temperature dropped, and her mind calmed down.

Throughout the trip to buy the golden-tailed beetles, Wangshu rarely spoke. She seemed to feel shy, never daring to look directly at You Su, but still frequently stealing glances at You Su's profile.

However, You Su did not insist. Instead, he felt a special sweetness flowing in his heart. It was because his senior sister was always standing closer to him, seemingly trying to break through the normal distance between senior and junior siblings.

"As long as you're happy. Whenever you have time, bring your senior sister to visit my Heavenly Arts Peak. There are so many interesting Technique Method in this world."

"When the First Elder free time, You Su."

The First Elder smiled kindly and then said:

"It's good for young people to be proud, but have you ever thought that if you make them wait another day, the pressure you'll face later will double?"

You Su clenched his fists lightly, his eyes showing no fear.

"I've endured twice the pressure, but I've gained even more respect. Does the First Elder think I've made a profit or a loss?"

Whether you profit or lose depends on your performance.

The First Elder smiled and stroked his white beard, leading You Su into the clouds that had lingered on the upper part of the sacred mountain for centuries.

You Su could not see, but he could clearly feel the temperature around him getting lower and lower, and the air getting thinner and thinner. He had obviously reached the unknown heights of Mount Henggao.

The Evil Warding Department has a history of over a thousand years, and this magnificent building is full of a profound historical atmosphere.

The main building of the Evil Warding Department is a towering tower that reaches into the clouds. The base of the tower is made of huge stones, but instead of flowers, birds, dragons and phoenixes, the stones are carved with all kinds of ferocious evil spirits, which means that the Evil Warding Department will forever suppress these evil Evil Demon that bring chaos to the world.

There's no Trouble Wind here, but it's still a no-fly zone.

You Su followed the First Elder into the silent main hall. The resounding slam of the doors closing created a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

Suddenly, You Su felt a strong light shining on him, which was dazzling even though his vision was already blurry.

The hall was dimly lit, with only a few flickering lamps. A huge mirror on the ceiling shone a beam of light that focused on You Su in the room.

The people seated on the high platform were hidden in the darkness, their figures obscured, but their eyes shone like stars as they scrutinized this long-awaited distinguished guest.

You Su dislikes the feeling of being watched by many people at the same time, but he is never stage-frightened. He stands tall and faces the crowd directly.

"In this strange and chaotic world, all beings struggle to cross the river. Dispel evil and return to the origin, may the five continents be forever secure!"

The First Elder sat at the highest point in the crowd and spoke in a clear voice.

Alongside him were two powerful figures, one on each side; these must be the three chief ministers of the Evil Warding Department Division of the Central Yuan Continent.

Surprisingly, there was still a seat above the First Elder's head. However, it was currently empty, and it was unclear whose seat it was.

The First Elder was clearly the host of today's investiture ceremony in You Su, and he then continued with a long, solemn, and inspiring speech.

You Su listened, he felt as if a great responsibility had been placed upon his shoulders.

"From this day forward, You Su, a disciple of Lotus Peak of the Xuanxiao Sect, officially becomes the Divine Son of the Evil Warding Department. He will enjoy the highest status within the division, and everyone except the Heavenly Order Envoy must take precedence over the Divine Son. When he can stand alone in command, it will be the day when Evil-Repelling returns to its origin and the Five Continents are forever secure!"

The First Elder's impassioned and aged voice echoed throughout the hall for a long time.

Surprisingly, only two female voices echoed his sentiments.

You Su remembered the two voices: one was the Third Elder, whom he knew very well, and the other was the Hua Jing, First Seat, whom he had only met once.

Suddenly, a strange, eerie wind swept through the sealed hall.

In You Su's blurred vision, he saw a monster that was neither human nor ghost appear in front of him.

It clearly has a human form, yet it is as tall as an elephant, with its body covered in full, crimson muscles and a suit of bone armor that looks indestructible.

In the blink of an eye, the monster charged straight at You Su like a mad bull!

In front of the strongest group of people from the Evil Warding Department!

You Su's eyes were resolute, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva.

He made them wait another day yesterday, and today these people will make him suffer too!

In the darkness, the Third Elder frowned deeply. She had long wanted to stop the monster, but the First Elder's telepathic message told her not to act rashly.

Beside her, a celestial being whose face was obscured smiled and asked:

"Does the Third Elder lack confidence in our new divine son?"

The Third Elder glared at him:

"You spend all your time in the Heavenly Prison, so you must know better than I that this Evil Puppet was at the lower level of the Water Condensing Lower Realm in its previous life!"

The implication is that becoming Evil Puppet makes him stronger than before, while You Su has only just broken through to the Spirit Platform Realm.

"I didn't want this either, Third Elder... But what can I do? That person insisted that there was a mistake in the Heavenly Prison today, which is why an Evil Puppet escaped. What am I supposed to do?" The immortal said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder turned around and glared angrily at the seat of honor to the left of the First Elder — the Heng Lian First Seat.

The Evil Warding Department has a complex system, but it can be divided into three main categories based on the procedures for dealing with evil spirits.

Find and identify evil spirits, capture or kill them, imprison and study them.

The departments of these three major factions are respectively managed by the Hua Jing, First Seat, the Heavenly Arts First Seat, and the Heng Lian First Seat.

This Evil Puppet originated from the Heavenly Prison, which is under the command of the Heng Lian First Seat and imprisones countless evil spirits!

Just as the two were talking, the monster's roar abruptly stopped, leaving only the continuous clanging of swords in the air.

For a moment, the Evil Warding Department fell silent, without uttering a single complaint.

"Congratulations on the return of the divine son! Peace is on the horizon for the five continents!"

On the high platform, Venerable Heng Lian was the first to offer his congratulations, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
