Primordial Wilderness Version of a Hero Saving the Beauty!

Just then, Mu Jizi and Kunpeng took a single stride, their feet treading upon supreme principles, their bodies flashing like lightning. In one-thousandth of an instant, they appeared beside the four combatants. Then their wrists moved sharply, and they struck out with their palms!

At once, wind and clouds changed color as a powerful ripple of mana spread outward! In an instant, space itself rippled, seemingly unable to withstand the ferocious blow of Mu Jizi and Kunpeng!

"Not good!" In that instant, King Father of the East was greatly alarmed. Sensing two intense threats through his divine sense, he could no longer spare attention for Yuehua and Xihe. In the blink of an eye, he exchanged a glance with Queen Mother of the West.

Both were beings of great supernatural powers, and having cultivated side by side for many years, their hearts and minds were linked. With strength still to spare, a single glance was enough for them to react within one ten-thousandth of an instant. They drove back Xihe and Yuehua with one move, then turned and unleashed a divine ability at Mu Jizi and Kunpeng.

At that moment, it was as though their potential had erupted. Their reaction could not have been faster. Though those two divine abilities had been unleashed in haste, they were anything but ordinary!

Faced with those two attacks, Mu Jizi and Kunpeng seemed utterly unconcerned. They neither dodged nor evaded. Mana covered their entire bodies, while their palms, like the hands of Heaven itself and as broad as great palm-leaf fans, smashed toward the divine abilities, making space hum faintly!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two explosions rang out, shaking heaven and earth. Mu Jizi and Kunpeng had struck with preparation against the unprepared, and their strength had already reached the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. How could King Father of the East and Queen Mother of the West possibly be their match? With one palm strike, both their bodies jolted, and they spat blood as they were blasted backward! Ignoring everything else, they borrowed the force of two palm blasts, let out two long howls, and transformed into two afterimages that vanished beyond the horizon! Before fleeing, neither even dared to leave behind a harsh word!

The sudden reversal left the two fairy maidens, Xihe and Yuehua, with no idea what had happened. They could only watch as King Father of the East and Queen Mother of the West were wounded and sent flying. Yet they did not seize the chance to pursue, merely staring vigilantly at Mu Jizi and Kunpeng!

They could hardly be blamed. Anyone facing two mighty figures of unknown origins at such a time would not act rashly!

Yet precisely because of that, King Father of the East and Queen Mother of the West were able to borrow the force of those palm strikes, gain a moment to catch their breath, and flee!

"Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal experts are each harder to kill than cockroaches. Their own strength isn't all that impressive, yet they have no shortage of life-saving divine abilities!" Kunpeng muttered. He glanced at the two black shadows far beyond the horizon, shook his reddened palm, then cast a sidelong look at Yuehua beside Xihe.

Mu Jizi could not help laughing. He looked at Kunpeng with interest, but said nothing.

"Elder Sister, what do we do now?" Yuehua saw Kunpeng's small eyes glittering with cold light as he sized her up. Her heart began pounding like a frightened rabbit, thumping wildly in her chest. She glanced at Xihe and sent her a voice transmission.

"Let's watch first!" Xihe shook her head with a bitter smile. From that earlier strike, she could tell that neither Mu Jizi nor Kunpeng was easy to deal with. Helplessness rose in her heart. They had likely just escaped the wolf's den, only to step into the tiger's jaws!

Thinking this, Xihe cautiously looked at Mu Jizi and Kunpeng. Yet she had no choice but to speak. "Greetings, fellow Daoists. This humble woman is Xihe, and this is my younger sister, Yuehua. May I ask what instruction you have for us?"

"I would not dare speak of instruction." Mu Jizi smiled faintly, like a spring breeze brushing across one's face, instantly inspiring goodwill. "This poor Daoist is Mu Jizi, and this is my younger brother, Kunpeng. Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

Though he spoke only a few harmless pleasantries, he was inwardly startled. This great deity Xihe would soon become the mistress of the Heavenly Court's inner palace, yet he had actually encountered her here!

As for Yuehua, he had never heard of her. Still, there were rumors in later generations that Kunpeng's Dao companion was Fairy Yuehua. Could this fairy before him be that very person?

Mu Jizi shook his head. Unable to make sense of it, he simply abandoned the matter. Then he saw Xihe say politely:

"Thank you, fellow Daoists, for lending us a hand earlier. This humble woman will certainly remember it in her heart!"

"It was merely the lift of a hand!" Mu Jizi smiled awkwardly, his expression somewhat unnatural. That sneak attack earlier had indeed been rather lacking in grace!

"No matter what, we must thank the two fellow Daoists!" Xihe seemed to have forgotten that earlier scene. Her bright eyes turned for a moment before she cautiously added, "If you have no other business, my sister and I shall take our leave!"

As she spoke, something indescribable flickered in her eyes, and her mind became tense to the utmost. She feared Mu Jizi and Kunpeng had ulterior motives and would not let the two of them leave!

This time, Xihe had truly guessed correctly. Yet she did not know that such designs were no bad thing for her. On the contrary, they were a tremendous stroke of fortune!

"There is nothing else. If the two fellow Daoists have matters to attend to, there is no need to concern yourselves with my brother and me." Mu Jizi smiled faintly. How could he not know what Xihe was thinking? But he also knew that with Kunpeng, one could not rush matters or accomplish them in a single stroke. Though their earlier actions had been lacking in grace, they had still rendered aid, so the two women would not take it too much to heart. If he continued to pester them now, he would only add to their annoyance and be drawing legs on a snake!

"Then many thanks to the two fellow Daoists! My sister and I shall take our leave!" Xihe made a Daoist salute. Hearing Mu Jizi's words, she was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Yuehua onto an auspicious cloud to depart.

As she left, doubts still lingered in her heart. Could it be that I was overthinking things? Were the two of them merely passing by and saved us on a whim?

Xihe shook her head, unable to reach any conclusion. Seeing that Yuehua seemed distracted, she called softly, "Younger Sister, what is wrong?"

"Ah... oh, nothing!" Yuehua gave a soft cry. After staring blankly for a moment, rosy clouds spread across both cheeks, revealing the bashful air of a young maiden...

"Younger Brother, Younger Brother!" Above the void, Mu Jizi called out softly, then teased, "They've already left. What are you still looking at?"

"Elder Brother, why did you let those two leave just like that?" Kunpeng stared toward the horizon as though he had not heard Mu Jizi's teasing, instead asking a question in return.

"Hehe!" Mu Jizi smiled faintly, utterly unconcerned. "Younger Brother, do you not know that the days ahead are long?"

"The days ahead are long?" Kunpeng shook his head, showing that he did not understand.

"We cultivators may not have much else, but we have no shortage of time. This time, we have already left an impression in those two women's hearts, and that is enough! If we go too far, we may only provoke their dislike and waste all our efforts!" Mu Jizi smiled. Before cultivating in his previous life, he had read web novels. He had learned nothing else, but he had learned quite a few secrets of courting women! Now that he cultivated in this life, his mind was naturally incomparably clear. He did not dare claim to fully understand women's hearts, but he could at least grasp eighty percent of them!

Kunpeng nodded as though he understood, though not entirely.
