106: I'll help you beat the bad guys
The entire battlefield fell silent.
The wind stopped blowing, and even the hissing sounds of the spatial rifts seemed to vanish.
Everyone's eyes were fixated, as if nailed, on the direction where the Emperor Xuesha, who had been slapped out of sight, had disappeared.
Then, slowly, ever so slowly, their gazes shifted back to the little girl, standing with her hands on her hips, looking indignant.
Her small face still carried a hint of 'who told you to bully my daddy' anger, but she still looked so soft, cute, and harmless.
Yet, it was this tiny girl who, with a casual flick, had swatted a notorious, full-strength Asura Emperor away like a fly?!
Where did he fly to? Could he even come back?
Gulp.
Someone, it's unclear who, swallowed audibly. In the dead silence, it sounded exceptionally loud.
Lin Xuan felt his neck stiffen. He slowly lowered his head, looking at his daughter who was still clutching his clothes, his throat dry: "Ying... Yingluo? Where did you send him flying?"
Lin Yingluo looked up, her small anger instantly gone, returning to her adorable self. She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said with a hint of uncertainty: "I don't know, it seems... I slapped him into the void, really far away, right? That ugly guy was too noisy, an eyesore." Her tone was as casual as if she'd just mentioned throwing an annoying toy under the bed.
Slapped into the void... Lin Xuan and everyone else, once again, turned to stone.
That was an Emperor! Not a rubber ball! Just slapped away like that? How outrageous was this daughter's power?!
The two remaining Asura Emperors in the sky turned green in the face! Not from anger, but from fright!
They were similar in strength to Blood Slaughter, so if this little girl could casually swat Blood Slaughter away, it meant she could casually swat them away too! What was the point of fighting then?!
The two Asura Emperors exchanged glances, both seeing the same word in each other's eyes: Run!
What destroying the Star Palace, what seals, none of it was as important as their own lives!
Swish! Swish!
The two Asura Emperors didn't hesitate for a moment. They turned around, tore open space, and drilled into the void as if their lives depended on it, not even daring to leave a single harsh word! Their speed was more than ten times faster than when they arrived!
Almost simultaneously, the four ancient Asuras who had been so fierce before let out a wail and scrambled into the spatial rifts, desperate as if they wished their parents had given them more legs.
The Asura Clan army? Blood Butcher Prince ran the fastest, almost kicking a general next to him.
A routed army is like a collapsing mountain! No, this was an Emperor fleeing, and the entire army collapsing!
The Asura Clan, which had just been a menacing, dark mass, vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a mess and a group of low-ranking Asura soldiers who were still dazed and hadn't reacted.
On the Star Palace side, everyone was still reeling from the double shock of an Immortal Emperor's daughter falling from the sky and the daughter slapping an Emperor away, when they saw the enemy disappear.
They won just like that?
We survived?
The immense joy of escaping disaster and an extreme sense of unreality surged through the hearts of every Star Palace disciple.
Someone, it's unclear who, started it, and suddenly they cheered!
"We won!! We won!!"
"Long live Temple Master! Long live Young Miss!!"
"Hahaha! The Asura Clan is gone!"
A huge wave of cheers instantly swept across the entire battlefield. All the disciples were so excited they jumped and shouted, hugging each other, some even crying tears of joy.
The five Immortal Emperors in the sky also exchanged glances, their expressions incredibly complex. They had fought desperately, suffered serious injuries, and still couldn't stop them, but they were scared away by a little child?
Azure Underworld Emperor looked at the little girl, who was now being held by Lin Xuan below, his eyes filled with extreme complexity. He coughed, then led the other four Emperors slowly down.
In any case, the crisis was temporarily averted.
"Temple Master Lin," the Human Immortal Emperor was the first to speak, his tone more polite than before, even carrying a hint of unconcealed curiosity, "This is..." His gaze fell on Lin Yingluo.
Lin Xuan, holding his daughter, quickly explained: "Uh... replying to Immortal Emperor, this is my humble daughter, Yingluo." Even he felt a bit dreamlike saying this.
Lin Yingluo wasn't shy at all. She blinked her big eyes at the five Emperors, tilting her head: "Are you Daddy's friends?"
The five Emperors: "..." For a moment, they didn't know how to answer.
Friends? Did almost being packaged and sent away together count?
Azure Underworld Emperor took a deep breath, trying to make his expression look amiable: "Little girl, where... where do you come from?"
"I'm from the Divine Realm!" Lin Yingluo said in a childish voice, "I used Mommy's mirror to find Daddy!"
Divine Realm!
These two words caused a huge shock in the hearts of the five Immortal Emperors and Lin Xuan!
It was indeed the Divine Realm! No wonder she was so terrifying!
"Your Mommy is..." Azure Underworld Emperor asked cautiously.
"My Mommy is Bi Yao!" Lin Yingluo's face lit up with a hint of pride when she mentioned her Mommy, "My Mommy is super amazing!"
Bi Yao? The five Immortal Emperors exchanged glances, none of them seeming to have heard of this name. The Divine Realm was too mysterious and vast; it was perfectly normal for there to be powerful individuals they didn't know.
Lin Xuan's heart, however, sank. Bi Yao... Did she know her daughter had run off? If she knew... He felt a chill down his neck again.
"Ahem," the Human Immortal Emperor cleared his throat twice, changing the subject. He solemnly cupped his fists at Lin Xuan, "Temple Master Lin, thanks to your esteemed daughter's timely appearance, the great calamity of the Immortal Realm has been resolved. This kindness, we will engrave in our hearts."
The other four Emperors also cupped their fists. An Emperor's promise was as heavy as a divine mountain.
Lin Xuan quickly returned the gesture: "Immortal Emperor, you overstate it. It was a coincidence, purely a coincidence." He dared not take credit; this was entirely his daughter's ability.
"Daddy, why are they thanking me? I just hit the bad guys who bullied you." Lin Yingluo hugged Lin Xuan's neck, asking in confusion.
Her innocent words made the five Emperors' old faces flush slightly.
"Yingluo is amazing." Lin Xuan quickly praised her, afraid his daughter would say something else shocking, "Daddy thanks you."
"Hehe, no need to thank me!" Lin Yingluo laughed happily, revealing two small fangs.
Seeing this, the five Emperors knew it was not appropriate to stay long. Their injuries were severe, and they needed to immediately go into seclusion to recover. Moreover, this little girl's background was too significant; they also needed to go back and properly digest today's information.
After a few more polite exchanges, the five Immortal Emperors tore open space and returned to their respective places to heal. Before leaving, Azure Underworld Emperor specifically gave Bai Li and Lin Xuan a deep, incredibly complex look.
Once the Emperors left, the atmosphere on the scene truly relaxed.
All the Star Palace disciples' gazes instantly focused on Lin Yingluo in Lin Xuan's arms.
Curiosity, awe, worship, and a little bit... the look one gives a divine child.
"Why are you all just standing there!" Lin Xuan, holding his daughter, was also immensely stirred, but he was, after all, the head of the family and needed to remain steady. "Quickly clear the battlefield! Treat the wounded! Inventory the losses! Chu Xinghe, check the damage to the grand formation! Su Yuan, tally the battle results! Liu Ruyan, arrange patrols and vigilance to prevent the Asura Clan from returning!"
With a series of commands, the entire Star Palace immediately began to operate efficiently.
Only then did the disciples snap out of their immense surprise, taking their orders and leaving, though their eyes still occasionally darted towards Lin Yingluo.
Lin Xuan, holding his daughter, returned to the main hall, surrounded by a group of core disciples.
He placed Lin Yingluo on his throne, then knelt before her, looking into his daughter's pure, innocent eyes, which nevertheless contained terrifying power. His heart was a tangled mess.
"Yingluo," he tried to make his voice gentle, "How did you find this place? Does your Mommy know?"
Lin Yingluo dangled her short legs and pulled out an ancient, small mirror from her embrace, adorned with mysterious runes: "I used this to find Daddy! It's a treasure Mommy gave me, super powerful! Mommy is in seclusion, so she doesn't know I came out; I snuck out!"
Sure enough... Lin Xuan felt his scalp tingle a bit. Bi Yao in seclusion, her daughter sneaking out... If she came out of seclusion and found her daughter missing, and then came to find him, her enemy who had defiled her purity... That scene was too beautiful; he dared not imagine it.
"Yingluo," Lin Xuan tried to reason with his daughter, "Look, it's very dangerous here, there were so many bad guys just now. How about Daddy sends you back? Otherwise, your Mommy will worry."
"No!" Lin Yingluo pouted, her eyes instantly reddening. She hugged Lin Xuan's arm, "I don't want to go back! The Divine Realm isn't fun at all! No one plays with me! I finally found Daddy, does Daddy not like Yingluo and want to send me away?"
Her tears came instantly, like broken pearls, breaking one's heart to see.
Lin Xuan immediately panicked and quickly consoled her: "No, no! Daddy likes Yingluo! Especially likes you! How could Daddy send you away? You can stay as long as you want!"
Sigh, first stabilize this little ancestor. As for Bi Yao's thunderous wrath... he'd just have to face it when it came!
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin Yingluo immediately stopped crying and broke into a brilliant smile, tears still clinging to her little face: "Really? Daddy is the best!"
She jumped off the chair, curiously examining the main hall, then ran to Yun Qingyao, Bai Li, and the others, looking at each of them: "Wow, these big sisters are all so pretty! Are you Daddy's disciples?"
Yun Qingyao and the others looked at this incredibly powerful yet innocent and naive junior sister, their hearts also incredibly complex, only able to stiffly nod and smile.
Lin Yingluo then looked at Mo Sha, Kong Ming, and the others: "Wow, this uncle is so tall! This bald uncle is so shiny!"
Mo Sha / Kong Ming: "..." Uncle? Do we look that old?
The entire Star Palace, due to the appearance of this little ancestor, was completely thrown into disarray, but it also injected an indescribable vitality.
Lin Xuan watched his daughter running around the hall, curious about everything, feeling both a headache and an uncontrollable softening in his heart.
This daughter, she truly was a big surprise package!
It's just that the power of this package was a bit too fierce; he, as her father, couldn't quite handle it!
