50: Xiao Huohuo's decision

Great Chu Old Ancestor was completely stunned, his mind a blank.

"Immortal… Immortal, spare my life!"

The instinct for survival made him utter the most humble plea of his life.

Nanny heard this.

She raised her red, watery eyes and looked at her Master, then at the bad old man on the ground who was tied up like a dumpling.

The little girl's eyes went from wronged, to angry, and finally, turned into a hint of coldness.

It was a kind of indifference, utterly out of sync with her age, stemming from the depths of her Soul.

She nodded vigorously!

"Very good."

Lu Yuchen smiled.

He released his hand, and Nanny, with her short little legs, walked step by step to Great Chu Old Ancestor.

"You… you little demoness! What do you want to do?!" Great Chu Old Ancestor looked at the delicate, jade-like girl in front of him, who filled him with endless fear, and roared, trying to sound fierce but inwardly trembling.

Nanny didn't speak.

She just tilted her little head, mimicking her Master, and extended a fair and tender little finger.

Devouring Heaven Magic Skill!

It instantly activated!

An indescribable terrifying devouring force erupted from her fingertip, transforming into a black vortex visible to the naked eye, instantly enveloping Great Chu Old Ancestor!

"No—!"

Great Chu Old Ancestor let out the last, and most desperate, scream of his life!

He could clearly feel his life essence, his Divine Soul, and the cultivation he had painstakingly Cultivated for hundreds of years, being frantically devoured and refined by that black vortex!

This was a torment a billion times more painful than being cut into a thousand pieces!

In just a few breaths.

A powerful expert of the Void Realm, an Old Ancestor who had dominated Great Chu for hundreds of years, silently turned into ashes, like a sand sculpture weathered by the wind.

Not even a trace was left behind.

And Nanny, after devouring this immense energy, her small body, like a balloon being inflated, her Aura began to surge wildly!

Foundation Establishment third stage!

Foundation Establishment fourth stage!

That majestic Aura shot straight into the sky, causing the winds and clouds within a ten-mile radius to change color!

Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciple, Lu Nuannuan, successfully devoured a Void Realm expert, and her cultivation Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment fourth stage!

Triggering ten times return!

Host gains: Cultivation improved! Golden Core Stage fourth stage.

"Refreshing!"

Lu Yuchen felt the surging, profound magic power within him again, and his heart was utterly comfortable.

As expected of a Chaos Body, as expected of the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill!

While he was enjoying himself, Xiao Huohuo and Qin Jiu, whom he had just revived, were completely dumbfounded.

The two stood rooted to the spot like two wooden stakes, their eyes wide as saucers, their jaws dropped to the ground, unable to close for a long time.

Just now… what happened?

That old monster, who was so strong he made them despair, was just… "eaten" by three-year-old Senior Sister Nanny?

Gulp.

The two swallowed with difficulty, their gazes towards Nanny could no longer be described as "awe."

It was simply like looking at a… walking Immortal among humans!

"Master, I killed the bad guy!" After Nanny dealt with Great Chu Old Ancestor, the coldness on her small face instantly melted, and she ran back to Lu Yuchen, looking up at him with an expression that said, "Praise me quickly."

"Mm, our Nanny is the most amazing," Lu Yuchen said with a smile, rubbing her little head.

Then, he turned around, his gaze falling on Xiao Huohuo and Qin Jiu, who were still in a petrified state, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He cleared his throat and said lightly, "Just now, you performed well."

This simple praise, however, was like the voice of Heavenly Dao, instantly startling the two out of their petrification!

"Sect Master!"

"Immortal!"

Qin Jiu and Xiao Huohuo, with a jolt, instantly snapped back to reality, their faces showing extreme fanaticism and excitement!

Especially Xiao Huohuo!

He had just risked his life; wasn't this what he was striving for?!

To gain the recognition of an Immortal, what did death matter!

"You two, you have rendered meritorious service in protecting your Disciple (Senior Sister), very good." Lu Yuchen nodded slightly, "Especially you, Xiao Huohuo, knowing you were outmatched, yet you stepped forward. This Heart-Nature is truly commendable."

"Alright, with matters here concluded, it's time for us to return."

Lu Yuchen changed the subject, no longer bothering to fly, and simply waved his hand.

The three were enveloped by spiritual power.

...

Xiangyang City, Xiao Family mansion.

Xiao Family Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, at this moment, was like an ant on a hot pan, restless.

Ever since three days ago, when he personally watched the two "Immortals" take his grandson and soar into the sky, disappearing into the horizon, his heart had not been at peace.

The methods of Immortals were inconceivable!

But… what if something unexpected happened?

Just as he was worrying and about to send someone to Mount Hua to inquire about news.

"Om—!"

Above the Xiao Family courtyard, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

Immediately after, four figures slowly descended into the center of the courtyard.

It was Lu Yuchen, Nanny, Qin Jiu, and… a bewildered Xiao Huohuo, who still hadn't figured out what was happening.

"This… this is…"

Xiao Zhan and the Elders of the Xiao Family behind him, seeing this divine way of appearing, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets on the spot!

"Immortal… Immortal!"

Xiao Zhan was the first to react, scrambling forward and prostrating himself completely on the ground.

"Junior, welcome back, Immortal!"

Lu Yuchen didn't bother to respond to him, merely glancing indifferently at Xiao Huohuo: "Alright, I've safely brought him back to you."

"Nanny, Xiao Jiu, let's go."

With that, he made to turn and leave.

This instantly made Xiao Huohuo anxious!

The Immortal is leaving?!

Was this immense Opportunity going to slip through his fingers?!

He no longer cared about etiquette or dignity, and rushed forward in a single stride, desperately hugging Lu Yuchen's thigh!

"Immortal! Immortal, you can't leave!"

"Huohuo, don't be rude!" Xiao Zhan, seeing this, was so frightened his Soul nearly flew out, and quickly stepped forward to reprimand him.

Lu Yuchen, however, waved his hand, signaling him not to worry.

He looked down at Xiao Huohuo, who was hugging his thigh with an anxious expression, and feigned a helpless sigh: "Why do you put yourself through this?"

"Master!" Just then, Nanny jumped out again, tugging on Lu Yuchen's sleeve, pointing at Xiao Huohuo, and said in a childish voice, "Didn't you say Big Brother Huohuo has a good Heart-Nature?"

"He was bullied by a bad woman before and couldn't Cultivate anymore, he's so pitiful. You're the most amazing Immortal in the world, can you help him, please?"

The little girl started her daily assist again.

Lu Yuchen heard this, pondered for a moment, as if seriously considering.

He looked at Xiao Huohuo and slowly spoke: "Very well. Xiao Huohuo, you risked your life to protect my Disciple earlier, consider this Old Ancestor owing you a favor."

"That small problem in your body is merely a trivial matter to this Old Ancestor."

"This Old Ancestor can now completely cure you, allowing you to regain your title as a Genius, how about it?"

At these words, Xiao Zhan and the others were instantly overjoyed!

Xiao Huohuo was even trembling with excitement!

However!

To everyone's surprise!

After Xiao Huohuo heard these words, he first froze, then, the extreme excitement and ecstasy in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by an unprecedented determination and resolve!

"No!"

He shook his head abruptly, his voice not loud, but resounding!

"I won't be cured!"

What?!

The entire scene was dead silent!

Everyone looked at Xiao Huohuo as if he were crazy!

Even Lu Yuchen feigned surprise and raised an eyebrow.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes.

Xiao Huohuo released his grip on Lu Yuchen's thigh, took three steps back, and then, facing Lu Yuchen, he knelt down heavily!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three resounding kowtows shook the ground!

"Immortal!"

He raised his head, his eyes, which had been dim, now shone terrifyingly bright, as if two flames were burning fiercely within them!

"The mere title of a martial Dao Genius, Huohuo… doesn't want it anymore!"

"Huohuo doesn't ask you to cure my illness, I only ask… I only ask that Immortal can accept me as a Disciple!"

"Disciple Xiao Huohuo is willing to give up everything, to follow Immortal, to seek the Immortal Dao! I will never regret it!"

"Please, Revered Master… grant my wish!"
