Clashing Head-On, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor About to Be Tricked
"Squeak!"
The sound of the door opening could be clearly heard in the quiet room.
Na'er paused slightly as she looked at the open door. Jiang Xiu opened the door before her and stepped out, looking somewhat puzzled. "Hmm? Na'er, why didn't you turn on the light?"
"Ah, I... I forgot," Na'er blinked, coughed twice, and then turned on the room light.
Just then, the sky outside completely darkened, and the moment the sliver of light from the windowsill disappeared, the room's light came on, filling the void.
"Your room is all ready. You'll stay here tonight," Jiang Xiu said, pointing to the tidy room behind him. Looking at Na'er, who seemed hesitant to speak, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes. He asked pointedly, "Na'er, is there something you want to say to me?"
"Hmm..." Na'er hesitated for a moment, looked into Jiang Xiu's eyes, and said in an extremely serious tone, "Boss, do you remember what I told you before? The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you. If Gu Yue asks you to go out alone, you must not go. You must call me along."
"Oh? Why is that?" Jiang Xiu an eyebrow, pretending to be puzzled, but inwardly he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed a bit.
Because he knew that Na'er had made her choice, and she would always be his good little brother.
"There's no reason why. You have to believe me, your little brother will never betray you, boss!" Na'er shook her head and said solemnly, word by word.
"Alright, I believe you, boss." Jiang Xiu reached out and patted Na'er's head, nodding slightly. Na'er was clearly protecting him.
Jiang Xiu wasn't in a hurry to deal with Gu Yue. Gu Yue's cultivation was still sealed, and Gu Yue's plan was to enter the Spirit Pagoda and gradually master human technology. Even if he knew that the Golden Dragon King Origin was on him, he wouldn't act rashly.
Moreover, he is no longer alone. He can summon the Ant Emperor of the Abyss at any time, and the Ant Emperor is already helping him find his future second legion commander...
Na'er felt the warmth from Jiang Xiu's palm, and a slight blush rose on her fair face, giving off a faint rosy glow.
Perhaps it was because of the Golden Dragon King aura emanating from Jiang Xiu that a hint of infatuation rose in Na'er's beautiful eyes, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart, a feeling as if their powers were merging.
"Snap!"
But just then, the crisp sound of the doorknob turning rang out.
Upon hearing the sound, Na'er, as swift as a rabbit, instantly took a step back, pretending nothing had happened.
Dark Bell pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a pile of food. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Sister is back."
When Na'er saw that it was Dark Bell, her beautiful eyes widened instantly. She had reason to suspect that Dark Bell had deliberately timed its entry, but she had no proof.
"Na'er, dinner is almost ready." Jiang Xiu withdrew his hand and said softly, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Just now, he had actually felt a strange fusion between his and Na'er's auras, an unparalleled harmony, somewhat similar to the legendary Martial Soul Fusion, but also different.
The connection between him and Na'er seemed to originate from the Golden Dragon King Origin and the Silver Dragon King's essence.
It's unclear whether his cultivation speed will increase, similar to the Martial Soul Fusion, if he and Na'er cultivate together. However, this can only be tried later, as the Dark Bell is still available for now.
Soon, the three of them sat down at the dining table, facing a table full of delicious food, and Jiang Xiu was naturally sandwiched in the middle again.
After a long journey, Na'er was clearly hungry, so she immediately switched to her food-showing-off mode, ready to conquer her hunger and be herself again. Her chopsticks flew across the table, revealing her true foodie nature.
Looking at Na'er's appearance, Dark Bell smiled slightly, gently picked up a piece of grilled fish, and placed it in Jiang Xiu's bowl.
"Hey, I also bought some local delicacies from Heaven Dou City — Yuhao Grilled Fish. It's said to be made using the culinary skills of that Spirit Ice Douluo. Little brother, you should try some."
Seeing this, Na'er pouted slightly, a feeling of discomfort welling up inside her. "The eldest can eat by himself."
She still harbors doubts about the relationship between her boss and Dark Bell; it's absolutely impossible for someone to steal her base.
"Little sister, you're so fierce! Unlike me, your older sister, I only care about my little brother." Dark Bell's beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at Jiang Xiu with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
"You..." Na'er was speechless with anger upon seeing this, feeling a sense of helplessness like a wife encountering Xiao San. She then picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Jiang Xiu's bowl.
Dark Bell remained silent, picked up another piece of meat, and slightly straightened her delicate body, revealing her proud figure. Today, Dark Bell was wearing a purple dress, which gave her a unique charm.
Na'er glanced at the towering peaks in front of the Dark Bell, then looked down at her own toes, silently comforting herself, "I'm just not old enough yet, it'll be fine in the future..."
Looking at the two people beside him, Jiang Xiu sighed softly, feeling a bittersweet mix of pain and joy.
Eating Yuhao Grilled Fish is truly like experiencing a chaotic, life- Asura ordeal!
Soon, dinner came to an end, and Jiang Xiu was almost stuffed from being fed by the two.
After tidying up, the three returned to their respective rooms.
Inside Na'er's room.
Na'er lay on the soft bed, her fair legs raised, gently tugging at Yuzhu's round little feet. She held the Communication Soul Tool in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the number.
"What's wrong, Na'er? Our deal was already over."
As the call connected, Gu Yue's voice came through the Communication Soul Tool.
"Hmm... I know," Na'er's beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked pointedly, "During the time you were protecting Jiang Xiu, did you notice anything unusual?"
"What's the matter?" Gu Yue's cold voice remained unchanged. "I only asked Di Tian to protect Jiang Xiu, and after confirming Jiang Xiu's safety, I sent Di Tian back."
"That's good, then I'll hang up." Seeing that she couldn't get any information from Gu Yue, Na'er prepared to hang up the Communication Soul Tool.
But at this moment, Gu Yue's voice came through the Communication Soul Tool again. "Na'er, I hope you don't forget your identity. We must take the revival of the Soul Beast Clan as our responsibility, and not get caught up in other things."
Na'er pouted and said bluntly, "None of your business. I have my own rhythm."
"..." Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then hung up the Communication Soul Tool.
"Hey, you silly boss, now we still have to rely on Na'er to protect you." Na'er sighed slightly, put her hands behind her back, and looked out at the neon lights, leaving behind a proud and aloof figure, as if she were the only one who could stand alone for eternity.
"You can't let Na'er down in the future..."
The Abyss Plane.
The 76th Layer.
"Hey! We're all brothers, would the Emperor lie to you? Just come with me." The Ant Emperor's voice rang out, filled with disappointment, as he spoke to a figure behind him.
Behind him stood a figure a hundred meters tall, covered in black fur, with a pair of bony wings that blotted out the sky fluttering slightly behind it. Its eyes were blood red, and it had Six-Claws on its abdomen that faintly glowed with an eerie light. It resembled a bat and exuded the same rich aura of Abyss King.
He was none other than the king of the 97th Layer of the Abyss, the Six-Claw Demon Emperor.
"Of course I believe you, after all, we're good brothers. But where exactly is this great opportunity you mentioned?" The Six-Claw Demon Emperor looked at the Ant Emperor beside him and asked, puzzled.
He naturally trusted the Ant Emperor, after all, they often accompanied each other when invading other planes. Although the Ant Emperor was a bit cunning, greedy, and treacherous... he was still willing to believe in the Ant Emperor.
"We're almost there, almost there," the Ant Emperor said, pointing to a palace ahead. In the shadows surrounding the palace, a faint red light shone, like pairs of blood-red eyes.
"Okay." The Six-Claw Demon Emperor responded, but for some reason, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
The Ant Emperor wouldn't betray him, would she?
Probably...
