He drew his flying sword and charged at Xiao Long.
But Xiao Long suppressed him with a backhand strike.
Then, Xiao Long took the Precious Lotus Lantern from Lotus Fairy.
"Hehe, what a treasure!"
Xiao Long looked at the Precious Lotus Lantern and muttered to himself.
"Senior, a treasure like the Precious Lotus Lantern truly ought to be wielded by someone like you. Since you have obtained it, could you spare the three of us, master and disciples?"
Lotus Fairy pleaded with Xiao Long.
"Spare you? Sure! How about this? In my great mercy, I'll spare two of you. You tell me—which one of you will die in the other two's place?"
Xiao Long said with a half-smile.
He was trying to set up his clone.
Logically speaking, since this clone had found the Precious Lotus Lantern for him, his mission should have ended.
And his women should have been taken over by Xiao Long.
But he was far too busy right now. Xiao Long had no time to train these two girls.
So, he would let his clone watch over them for now!
After all, he had obtained the Precious Lotus Lantern thanks to the clone's efforts. He could let him live a while longer.
After the Investiture of the Gods War ended, Xiao Long would see whether he was still in the mood to deal with it.
For the time being, he would let his clone keep these two beauties under watch.
"Senior, if one person truly has to die, then let it be me! I am their Master. It is only right that a Master protect her disciples!"
Lotus Fairy looked at her lover, then said to Xiao Long with a bitter smile.
"No, Master. You have shown us kindness. How could we possibly let you die?
