56: How much face can a mere Tian She Mansion have?

The enormous bodies of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor continuously collided, emitting dazzling light, occasionally accompanied by terrifying roars, and the Qi fluctuations spread violently.

"What is this?"

In a certain sky in the eastern provinces of the Jia Ma Empire, Yun Yun, who had not yet returned to the Imperial Capital but had separated from Gu He and others to act alone, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The hood on her head had been removed, revealing a Face like a hibiscus flower. Her eyelashes trembled, and her clear eyes looked towards that part of the sky.

She naturally detected the fluctuations, and an inexplicable emotion in her heart drove Yun Yun to head in that direction.

"I already gave you a chance before. This is your own doing. Since you insist on not leaving, then don't regret it!"

Lü Man had a gentle Face. Beneath her charming appearance, her thoughts were profound.

She sensed that Gu Fei was not to be trifled with, but she also had helpers, so why should she fear a mere half-grown youth?

Lü Man blinked her eyes, her figure twirled, and with light steps, she was about to bypass Gu Fei. A jade hand reached out, grabbing towards Qing Lin, who was hiding behind him.

Qing Lin was startled by Lü Man's sudden movement, and her hand gripping Gu Fei's sleeve tightened.

She wasn't afraid, after all, Big Brother Gu Fei could always protect her. It was like that before, and there would certainly be no problems now.

[Qing Lin developed a dependent emotion, emotional value +70]

Gu Fei put his arm around Qing Lin's waist, easily dodging Lü Man.

Seeing that Lü Man was still being unreasonable, Gu Fei, no matter how good-tempered he was, was a little angry at this point.

At this moment, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, relying on its incredibly fast speed and excessively tough body, was subtly gaining the upper hand.

Gu Fei saw that the Lion King was at a disadvantage in the fight there. With a raised hand, he struck out a burst of Qi. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor only reacted when the Qi impact reached its side, but it was already too late to dodge.

This seemingly light palm strike severely injured the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's humane eyes looked at Gu Fei with some apprehension, filled with terror.

[Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor developed apprehension and terror, emotional value +15]

At this moment, nearly half of the hard scales on the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's body were completely shattered.

Crimson blood continuously seeped out from its dark body.

This blood, like rain, continuously dripped down from mid-air, falling to the ground, a shocking sight.

Beneath the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's shattered scales, terrifying wounds, visible to the naked eye, spread out, almost covering its entire back.

Looking up from the ground, one could even faintly see its stark white bones.

Within its enormous, triangular pupils was an utter shock.

It roared in pain, its gaze fixed on Gu Fei.

[Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor developed shock and anger, emotional value +15]

Seeing the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's miserable and disheveled appearance, Lü Man's heart also plummeted into an abyss, her Face pale.

What kind of being had she provoked!

[Lü Man developed terror, emotional value +20]

"Senior, please spare our lives, Senior!"

"It was I who was blind and offended Senior! I will immediately take the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor and leave. Please, Senior, do not blame us!"

The next moment, Lü Man immediately lowered her stance and begged Gu Fei for forgiveness.

She glanced at Gu Fei, and seeing his expressionless Face, her breathing trembled even more.

[Lü Man developed nervousness, emotional value +15]

Following this, Lü Man tried every possible way to explain.

"Senior, I came here this time with no ill intentions! I only wanted to bring this little girl Qing Lin back. I only wanted to properly Cultivate her. She possesses the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which is very suitable for Cultivating in my Heavenly Serpent Mansion. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion will provide her with the best resources!"

Lü Man continued to explain. She cautiously raised her eyes to look at Gu Fei, her originally delicate and gentle Face now only showing panic.

[Lü Man developed panic, emotional value +15]

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor on that side had also landed on the ground early, following behind Lü Man in a sorry state.

It suppressed its injuries, nodding repeatedly in agreement with Lü Man's words, and also begged Gu Fei for mercy.

Gu Fei's calm gaze fell upon Lü Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, yet it brought an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"I know all of this. Otherwise, you two would no longer have the chance to stand and speak!"

Gu Fei said calmly.

[Lü Man developed relaxation, emotional value +15]

Upon hearing Gu Fei's words, Lü Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she continued, "Please, Senior, for the sake of Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Face, spare us!"

At this moment, Lü Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor no longer regarded Gu Fei as a young man.

They only felt that Gu Fei must be an old Senior skilled in maintaining his youthful appearance.

Therefore, they no longer dared to make a move, only hoping that Gu Fei would spare them for the sake of Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Face.

Gu Fei raised an eyebrow, scoffed disdainfully, and his eyes turned cold.

"Heavenly Serpent Mansion? This Heavenly Serpent Mansion has no Face to speak of in my presence!"

When Lü Man mentioned Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Gu Fei showed no deference whatsoever. With his status, even the Mansion Master of Heavenly Serpent Mansion would have to bow and greet him.

Lü Man's heart tightened suddenly. The strong premonition of danger made her scalp tingle, and her feet involuntarily retreated.

The next moment, Gu Fei waved his sleeve, and a burst of Qi, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, suddenly slammed into Lü Man's body.

"Bang!"

Lü Man's right arm instantly exploded into a bloody mist.

"Ah!"

Lü Man clutched her constantly bleeding stump of an arm, letting out a shrill scream, cold sweat pouring down her Face.

[Lü Man developed fear, emotional value +15]

At this moment, she no longer had the composed, calm, and arrogant demeanor she had at first. Her exquisite dress was stained with filth, covered in bloodstains.

"This is a small lesson for offending me. If there's a next time, I'll annihilate your Heavenly Serpent Mansion!"

Gu Fei said coldly.

Although she had lost an arm, Lü Man dared not harbor the slightest resentment. She was merely grateful to have escaped death this time.

[Lü Man developed relief and shock, emotional value +15]

She was also deeply shocked, and couldn't help but wonder about Gu Fei's background, to actually show no regard for the esteemed Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

Lü Man bowed tremblingly.

"Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!"

Hearing Gu Fei's faint hum, Lü Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor dared to drag their injured bodies away.

Although their speed was not as fast as when they arrived, they did not dare to stop for a moment, fearing that if they lingered, Gu Fei would change his mind and kill them both.

[Qing Lin developed trust, emotional value +70]

[Xiao Yi Xian developed trust, emotional value +100]

Both Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were protected behind Gu Fei, completely unharmed.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, with you around, I feel that no matter what danger we encounter, we can turn it into good fortune!" Suddenly, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but hug Gu Fei's arm.
