As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1681: What Would Xi Xi Do If She Were Father, the Temple God Reincarnation of Yun E and Zhou Peng
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Zhou Chiguo cast a look at Yun E and her two companions: "What do you think, will my little junior sister... return?"
"Kids, once they step into the world, they must endure some harsh realities..."
"So innocent and idealistic, not fitting for this harsh realm. All that idealism will just bring her trouble."
Yun E tried to resist, yet she found it impossible to escape their hold.
Their cultivation levels remained below that of a peak Great Grandmaster.
Let alone matching Zhou Chiguo's formidable Martial Saint prowess.
"Father King aims to break into the Divine Tribulation Realm, gearing up for the huge chance in Qi Tian City. That's why the Blood Soul from this place is essential—it's vital for Father King's path!"
Zhou Chiguo grinned: "Should my talented little junior sister join us... Father King would be thrilled, and he'd grant me even more Bloodline Power as a reward!"
Zhou Chiguo burst into loud laughter.
"Drag them off, suspend them from the city walls, so my little junior sister can witness it..."
"She'll return for sure."
"After all, youngsters often cling to that innocence and loyalty, much like..."
"I once did."
...
...
The night grew darker, amid gusts of wind and rain laced with freezing snow.
Xi Xi breathed hard, her Qi and Blood surging wildly, while the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel under her feet rattled with sparks, propelling her form rapidly across the terrain.
Her speed reached its maximum!
Wind and rain whipped past on either side, the icy sleet striking her face and bursting apart, stinging her skin sharply.
Yet Xi Xi paid no mind to it.
All of a sudden.
Xi Xi's forward-tilted posture straightened abruptly, and the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel whirred with a clang.
Her eyes narrowed as she stared at Luoyun City, now shrouded in a crimson glow, quickly spotting three tiny silhouettes dangling from the city walls.
It was Yun E, Zhou Peng, and Jin Taixui, their limbs tied, suspended head-down from the battlements.
They faced no immediate peril to their lives, but displayed like tempting bait up there, drawing in their prey.
And clearly, that prey was Xi Xi herself.
From a distance, Xi Xi stood atop the Golden Light Wheel, her hands balled into fists, teeth ground together, her twin ponytails nearly bristling like ignited fuses.
Still, a wave of powerlessness washed over Xi Xi.
She could plainly see her friends strung up there, but Xi Xi had no means to free them.
Forget about Zhou Chiguo—even Ji Moli's Black Armor Guards included two First Level Martial Saints, plus there were Divine Embryo Level and Divine Corpse Level powerhouses from the Corpse God Cult.
Xi Xi extended her five fingers, and the Purple Flame Serpentine Spear dropped into her grasp.
She clutched the divine weapon tightly, feeling the spear quiver in her hold.
However...
A feeling of helplessness gripped Xi Xi.
Could she actually rescue Ms. Yun E and the others?
Right then, Xi Xi's craving for strength hit its highest point, her longing to grow powerful burning fiercer than ever in her lifetime!
"Big Sister... save me."
Xi Xi clenched her jaw, whispering the plea inwardly.
This could be the sole source of power she imagined, the force that would let her rise in strength.
Her call vanished like a pebble dropped into the ocean.
Xi Xi's complexion grew a shade paler.
She sought to draw on power, but... nothing came to her aid!
Yet, just as confusion and self-blame for her weakness clouded Xi Xi's mind.
Up on the walls.
The tied Yun E let out a quiet sigh.
Then, while dangling inverted, she snapped her eyes open, her irises swirling with what looked like endless moonlight.
"Xi Xi, Ms. Yun E senses you're nearby!"
"You're such a loyal sister, so compassionate—you won't abandon us without a fight..."
Atop the city tower.
The two First Level Martial Saints among the Black Armor Guards scowled, ready to silence Yun E.
But Zhou Chiguo lifted a hand to halt them: "Allow her to speak."
A subtle smirk played on Zhou Chiguo's features.
He directed his gaze to the city's edge, into the inky wilds.
Suspended upside down, Zhou Peng's eyes flickered with emotion as he twisted his neck, gazing in stunned silence at Yun E.
Tears streamed steadily from Yun E's lovely face, sliding down in her inverted state.
Yun E recalled countless moments, like her first encounter with Xi Xi in Golden Light Prefecture—back then, the child was merely three...
Tender and delicate, utterly endearing.
A profound sense of connection and trust, as if from a past existence, etched deep into her spirit.
Maybe she and Xi Xi had crossed paths in a former life.
That's why she stayed by Xi Xi's side, seeking the root of that soul-deep familiarity, always supporting Xi Xi through her development.
But at this juncture.
The young one must learn to stand alone.
"Xi Xi! Parting is a natural step in growing up."
"Perhaps tonight, you'll have to confront the pain of loss."
"Flee now, don't approach, no need to rescue us! Stay alive, push to grow stronger—only true strength can lessen those inevitable losses in life..."
"Sister understands your dream to be a hero, but she might not live to witness you rise as Emperor Xi Xi..."
"The hero you aspire to be today, sister will make it real for you."
"Xi Xi, keep living!"
Her voice rang out across the barren lands.
No reply came, but Yun E was certain Xi Xi heard every word.
In the thick woods.
Xi Xi's body shook without control: "Sister Yun E!"
Xi Xi refused to accept defeat!
With gritted teeth, she called forth the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank!
But...
The instant she brought out the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank.
Overhead, the dark clouds parted suddenly, letting chilly moonlight spill across the ground, without warning.
