"Little sis... oh no, old granny," Lin Tang said impatiently. "I've been to Yaochi Heavenly Palace a few tis already. You should still rember Ning Yuexi's aura, right? Can you teleport there directly?"
What exactly do you take for? You've gotten addicted to ordering around, haven't you?
Although the Yin Yang Mirror was displeased, it still did as requested.
WHOOSH!
In the blink of an eye, as his form flipped within the mirror's phantom image, he arrived directly inside Yaochi Heavenly Palace. There was no need to fly for several hours.
He thought that this ti, like the previous ones, he could sneak in unnoticed. But unexpectedly, sothing happened!
As soon as Lin Tang entered Yaochi Heavenly Palace, the national fortune within him surged uncontrollably, spontaneously forming a dazzling golden phenonon around his body. Faint, clear dragon cries echoed as the image of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon circled over his head.
What is all this?
Ning Yuexi was also startled by Lin Tang's sudden appearance. Just as she was about to greet him, she was stunned by the spectacular sight.
"What are you doing?!" she demanded. She thought Lin Tang was deliberately showing off by creating so special effects. Why don't you just carry a boombox and blast so heroic background music while you're at it?
"Quickly put all this away and keep quiet! Or do you really think Goddess Xuan Nu is a pushover?" Ning Yuexi hastily urged.
"I really didn't an to do it," Lin Tang said with an innocent look on his face.
He hadn't expected the national fortune to manifest and exert its power spontaneously in the unique space of Yaochi Heavenly Palace. It was as if it had been stimulated or threatened! He only had ti to quickly change his face, assuming the appearance of Long Tianji.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Grand Si Ming and the others were alard and rushed over.
"Is it you?"
"You again?"
Grand Si Ming, Minor Si Ming, and the others were so agitated that their chests heaved dramatically. That bastard. He's disregarding Yaochi Heavenly Palace more and more. Sneaking in would at least show so fear or apprehension, but appearing so openly like this... is simply outrageous!
What was even more unacceptable to them was that upon seeing Long Tianji, they felt he was completely different from before. Bathed in the golden glow, he seed to have beco the emperor of this place, radiating a domineering aura that made one feel compelled to submit and worship.
Just as Lin Tang was about to speak, he found that Xuan Nu, who used to awaken slowly, had sohow awoken with incredible speed today.
"Is it the sovereign of Central Earth who has graced us with his presence?" Xuan Nu's lodious voice rang out.
Imdiately after, a face belonging to her appeared in the sky—it was much smaller than before. Perhaps she did it to give the mortal emperor so face?
However, as soon as she opened her eyes and saw that the visitor was Long Tianji, she clearly paused for a mont before angrily continuing to expand her face.
This made Lin Tang chuckle in spite of himself. He didn't even have ti to compare her to an angry frog puffing out its throat, or a pufferfish inflating itself into a ball.
BOOM!
An overwhelming aura ca crashing down on him. On her own turf, Xuan Nu could exert even greater strength. She had once confined Lin Tang, rendering him completely unable to resist.
However, tis had changed. When this pressure struck Lin Tang, the national fortune surrounding him spontaneously grew denser, bathing him in a light so bright he looked like the heart of the sun. The golden dragon roared, expanding to form a spiral that shielded him within. Xuan Nu's pressure imdiately lost its effect, leaving Lin Tang feeling as if he were enjoying a pleasant spring breeze.
"My dear Xuan Nu, calm down. We're all compatriots, so why don't we sit down and have a nice chat?"
Lin Tang was surprised at first, but then felt a great sense of relief. He unabashedly admired Xuan Nu's extraordinary beauty and even grew curious about what lay below her neck. Why does she only ever show that big face of hers? Why not materialize her body too? Could her figure be so bad that you can't tell the front from the back?
"Scoundrel!"
Sensing Lin Tang's flippant and profane gaze, Xuan Nu grew even more furious. She was about to take direct action, but upon seeing him protected by the national fortune, she forcibly held back.
I never thought the current court of Central Earth could be so foolish as to entrust such precious national fortune to a scoundrel like you! It's... Wait! How is the court able to control the national fortune? With Long Tianji's Golden Core Stage cultivation, it's impossible for him to touch upon its mysteries! Not even my true form could forcibly gather the national fortune... Which grand expert could have orchestrated such a monuntal feat?
Xuan Nu's pupils shrank. Could it be that Long Tianji has an incredibly powerful backer? Is that why he's so audacious and reckless?!
As her mindset shifted, her expression softened. She shrank her face back down and spoke in a gentler tone, "Long Tianji, I must ask, how did you rge with the national fortune?"
Lin Tang didn't hide it and even boasted, "Of course, it was a masterpiece orchestrated by my sect's seniors. Impressive, isn't it?"
"Your sect? What is its na?"
"Hey, are you interrogating a criminal? I don't like your tone, so I'm not telling you."
"You—"
Xuan Nu was annoyed, yet also quite puzzled. If Long Tianji really cos from a sect with such a profound foundation, why is he so ignorant of certain secrets and taboos? For instance, when he recklessly absorbed the Spiritual Energy collected and stored by the Demon Emperor Tai Yi, he was subsequently plagued by a maddening taint, which even led Ning Yuexi to shalessly co and ask for guidance. At the ti, I thought it served him right. It would have been best if he went mad and his cultivation stagnated forever. But he's solved that problem now... Was he guided by his sect?
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Xuan Nu's expression beca even calr.
"Long Tianji, since you have rged with the national fortune, you now bear the heavy responsibility of opposing the Underworld. My Yaochi Heavenly Palace also takes it upon itself to oppose the Underworld and save the people of this world. In that sense, we are natural allies. For the sake of the world, I can forgive and forget our past conflicts. I hope you will conduct yourself accordingly and stop opposing at every turn!"
