Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon! Chapter 53: There’s a Mosquito on Your Face

At this mont, Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu gradually walked farther away, leaving the area.

"Let’s go, Senior Brother will take you to find a Great Opportunity," he said with a smile.

SOB SOB! Guang Xiaoyu thought. That detestable Senior Brother, always thinking of again.

Guang Xiaoyu was secretly moved and, for a mont, didn’t know what to say. But she didn’t know the purpose of Chen Pingping’s trip. Otherwise... she would probably erase the word "moved" from her heart.

Devouring Sky Beast, Chen Pingping mused. SIGH! I’m so annoyed! If you’re going to give a system, why create such a nonsensical mission? Look at that proud Earth Chicken—when will it ever be tad? Now there’s a Devouring Sky Beast too. Going by past experience, this Devouring Sky Beast is probably just so kind of poultry or livestock, right? And Xiaoyu has her own share of problems... Master is also in the Wasteland. Has she encountered anything?

For a mont, Chen Pingping couldn’t help feeling sowhat confused.

When he ca back to his senses, he gave the Earth Chicken a sharp rap on its head, thumping it soundly.

The Earth Chicken glared with its large eyes.

The Eight Treasures Chicken was terrified. Could this big brother be prone to violence? it thought.

"The Wasteland is really big," Chen Pingping said with a laugh.

"Senior Brother, how about I teach you how to cultivate?" Guang Xiaoyu suggested cheerfully. "I have powerful cultivation thods too, you know."

"I refuse!"

"Why?"

"Master said I’m responsible for being as beautiful as a flower. Cultivation isn’t for , and besides, I don’t like all that fighting and killing!" he said.

HUMPH! Guang Xiaoyu thought. He’s clearly powerful, yet he’s playing dumb! Is he looking down on this Emperor’s Demon Cultivation Skills? Forget it, forget it. Demon cultivators are discriminated against within the Human Clan territory. It’s better not to let Senior Brother cultivate with . Having this Emperor is enough.

She shrugged and didn’t bring up the matter again.

「Several days later,」

They arrived at a small town inhabited entirely by lower-class Wilderness tribe mbers.

Two people, a cow, a dog, and two chickens entered, attracting considerable attention from the Wilderness tribe.

Has it been another three hundred years? so wondered. OH, OH, OH, it seems so. Human Clan cultivators have set foot in the Wasteland again. Those guys must be getting anxious, right?

Three hundred years ago, there were no Wilderness tribe mbers openly in the Wasteland; they had remained hidden because they needed ti to develop. Only after all the Human Clan cultivators returned to the Heaven Martial continent did the Wilderness tribe announce their existence.

Now, three hundred years later, Human Clan geniuses had stepped into their lands again, marking what could be considered the first true encounter between the Wilderness tribe and the Human Clan in this era.

"My, you two are quite handso, with such fine and tender skin, HEH HEH... Young people, are you Tao Companions?" an old man asked with a warm smile, sizing them up.

AHEM!

Chen Pingping replied, "No."

The Demon Emperor blushed and glanced at her senior brother. She didn’t offer much of a rebuttal; deep down, there seed to be a flicker of anticipation. However, hearing his direct denial, she imdiately felt a pang of displeasure.

"Are you here looking for opportunities?" The old man was very kind and enthusiastic, quite interested in the arrival of the Human Clan.

"Yes!" Chen Pingping responded with a smile. "Excuse , do you know about the Devouring Sky Beast?"

I originally planned to return to the sand dunes to search, Chen Pingping thought. After all, the system’s hint indicated I’d already reached the Devouring Sky Beast’s area. But on second thought, the scope implied by the word ’area’ could be large or small. It could an just the sand dunes, or it could encompass the entire Wasteland.

"HMM..." The old man paused before speaking. "There is indeed a legend about the Devouring Sky Beast. It’s said to have co from beyond our realm, its body so imnse it could blot out the sun and sky. Back then, it suffered a terrible injury and ca here seeking the world’s boundary walls to suppress its wounds. Now... many years have passed, and it’s unknown whether it’s still alive."

Chen Pingping’s eyes lit up. "Where is it?"

"The place where the Devouring Sky Beast lies is also where the boundary walls are found. That area is fraught with danger, known as the Life Prohibited Zone—more terrifying than the abyss itself. Even the experts of the Emperor Clan dare not tread there lightly. Moreover... it’s located in the south, very far from here. If you intend to cross that distance, you’ll encounter many powerful mbers of the Wilderness tribe, Royal Clans, the Emperor Clan, and even those Ancient Races." He offered a kind warning, "Look for other opportunities! This ti is different from three hundred years ago."

I wish I could, Chen Pingping thought helplessly. If I give up now, I’ll have to wait another three hundred years. Would the system let wait that long? Or would it just strike dead with a lightning tribulation?

The old man advised, "Staying alive is the greatest cultivation of all!"

Chen Pingping wanted to say, You probably wouldn’t understand this ’system’ thing even if I explained it, but he paused and simply said, "Thank you!" Then, he promptly led his group away.

"Senior Brother? You’re looking for the Devouring Sky Beast?" She could hardly believe it. Keeping a few cats and dogs was one thing, but did her senior brother actually intend to ta a Devouring Sky Beast? Goodness! Truly worthy of being this Emperor’s Senior Brother!

She blinked, her eyes sparkling with excitent, and said, "The Devouring Sky Beast isn’t just any Spiritual Beast; it’s an Ancient Ferocious Beast! It’s infamously savage, bloodthirsty, and so violent by nature that even Saints are helpless against an adult one! Don’t tell , Senior Brother, you’ve already found a way to ta it? Quick, quick, tell ! What’s the plan?"

Chen Pingping was speechless. "..."

He forced a smile. "Oh, not at all! I just read about it in a book and wanted to see one for myself. Yes, that’s all!"

TSK! Guang Xiaoyu naturally didn’t believe this explanation. But since her Senior Brother was unwilling to elaborate, she didn’t press further. Instead, she asked, "Then... will we be traveling for a long ti?"

The Devouring Sky Beast is so far away, she wondered. How does Senior Brother plan to get there?

"Perhaps we will."

That’s wonderful! Guang Xiaoyu thought. I can travel with Senior Brother for a long, long ti.

At this mont, things like a Great Opportunity or the body of the Primitive Demon God seed unimportant to Guang Xiaoyu.

She had a strange thought, one she hadn’t experienced in over a hundred thousand years: she wanted to keep walking with Chen Pingping indefinitely...

But I don’t want this journey to be too long, Chen Pingping thought. She’s a demon cultivator, with the essence of a Primitive Demon God within her, and has even fused with its eyes. If this journey goes on and we remain safe, that’s one thing. But if sothing happens and her cultivation thod is exposed, wouldn’t we be dood? Think of that powerful expert from the Royal Clan back in the forest. He was so strong. What if soone from the Emperor Clan shows up? And above the Emperor Clan, there are the Ancient Races! One careless misstep, and we could perish here. Then I’d never see Master again!

OH, DEAR... Chen Pingping thought. Just the image of his Master’s exquisitely beautiful face, her proud figure, smooth skin, and so on, made his heart stir. I suspect Wen Yuqing isn’t really off on a mission at all but went to find so Great Opportunity for herself. So impulsive! Master, oh Master! If you needed sothing, why didn’t you just tell your Disciple? Why take such an unorthodox path? At the very least, you could have brought your Disciple along!

He fell into deep thought.

Guang Xiaoyu, standing beside him, called out his na several tis. Seeing no reaction, as a last resort, she lightly slapped him across the face.

Chen Pingping snapped back to his senses, looking at her with a deeply reproachful gaze.

She chuckled sheepishly. "There was a mosquito on your face just now."

"And now?" he asked, his voice dangerously low.

"Killed it."

"The next ti you lay a hand on your Senior Brother, you’ll be in solitary confinent for a year."

"..."
