288: Chapter 288

Gui Jianchou was the slow-to-warm-up type. Even though Ao Wuming had taught him many pick-up techniques, he couldn't help but feel nervous and forget his lines the moment he saw Tian Kui.

"P-please rest assured, Brother. While you are away, everything will be under the Saintess's command."

Even reading from Ao Wuming's script, he spoke very haltingly.

The Bull Demon Emperor cupped his hands in a salute: "Me too."

"There's nothing more to say. The prosperity of the various races in the Lower Realm is all thanks to the Alliance Leader and the Saintess's strategic planning."

"Whoever dares not to obey the Saintess's orders, I, Old Bull, will gore him to death."

Ao Wuming patted the Bull Demon Emperor's sturdy chest lightly.

"Don't get excited, Brother Bull. If anyone dares to defy the Saintess, Old Gui will definitely be more anxious than you."

"Let us invite the Saintess to say a few words."

Ao Wuming led the applause, not forgetting to pull the Bull Demon Emperor along, and Gui Jianchou followed suit.

Tian Kui was forced to stand up. It was a time of peaceful development, and there wasn't much to say, so she just spoke a few words to go through the motions.

She told the various leaders to manage their clansmen well and not to cause any trouble, then hurriedly concluded.

"Meeting adjourned!"

Tian Kui looked at Gui Jianchou's somewhat unnatural expression and more or less understood what he meant. She didn't approach him and turned to leave with the Little Fairy Doctor.

Xiao Bai and Iris had left earlier, having briefly said goodbye to their descendants.

"While I'm away, please take care of things. I don't know when I'll be able to return from this trip to the Immortal Realm."

"It might be a few years, or it might be thousands of years, or perhaps I might never..."

Iris covered Xiao Bai's mouth with her slender fingers, not letting him continue.

"The children and I will wait for your return. If those Immortals dare to make things difficult for you, I will lead our children and slaughter them."

Iris's domineering attitude moved Xiao Bai deeply. Ever since he had awakened the Many Children, Many Blessings System, their relationship had grown even deeper.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to satiate Iris.

On the surface, Feng Yun avoided him, but deep down, she was very reluctant to see Xiao Bai leave. This trip was extremely dangerous, and no one knew what kind of intentions Nightmare had.

Qing Lin and her daughter were crying like rain, hugging Bai Su tightly.

"Sister, you must be careful! None of those guys in the Immortal Realm are pushovers. Don't try to be a hero; let Xiao Bai handle it."

"Mmh..."

Chapter 389: Parting is for a Better Reunion

This scene caused even the usually calm Bai Su to shed tears.

Runer reluctantly held Bai Su's hand, her face full of tears, her voice choked with sobs.

"Big Aunt, you must bring my two younger brothers back. I will wait here for you."

Bai Su stroked her little head: "Runer, be good. While Big Aunt is away, you must listen to your mother and absolutely do not go around causing trouble."

"Mmh..."

Runer nodded vigorously: "Don't look at my small stature; I've already lived for over nine hundred years and am already an adult."

Xiao Bai glanced at Bai Su, signaling that it was time to depart.

Both of them took out their black talismans simultaneously and poured their magic power into them. Suddenly, strong winds blew, the sky was covered in dark clouds, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

A beam of light shone down from the dark clouds. Tian Kui shouted hurriedly: "This is the passage to the Immortal Realm. Hurry over; I'm afraid it will disappear soon."

Xiao Bai and Bai Su looked at each other and flew rapidly toward the beam of light. The two black talismans melted instantly, and then their figures disappeared along with them.

This beam of light triggered a phenomenon in the heavens and earth, and many races witnessed this rare spectacle with their own eyes.

Yu Ji stood on the peak of a mountain not far from Pan Si Mountain with her daughter. After nine hundred years of evolution, she could now leave the water without any issues.

Yu Ji's eyes were filled with reluctance, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"He has left. I don't know when we will be able to meet again."

Yu Jiao scratched her cheek: "Mother, is he the Snake King who came to find us in Yu Country a couple of days ago?"

"The five snake heads on his back were so cool."

"They all say the Snake King is Godmother's lover. Why are we here?"

Yu Ji sighed, contemplating whether to tell her the truth.

A couple of days ago, Xiao Bai had found time to visit Yu Country and stopped by Piaomiao City to see Yu Wei and his descendants.

He hadn't spent more than half an hour with Yu Ji, and before he could even settle down, Yu Yan had stormed over aggressively.

It was basically Yu Yan clinging to him; her desires were relatively strong and hard to satisfy.

They stayed in the room for a whole day, and she still wanted more, not wanting Xiao Bai to leave.

Yu Ji couldn't say anything, knowing Yu Yan's temperament, and her own desires weren't that strong.

As long as she could see Xiao Bai once, she was happy; whether they did that kind of thing or not didn't matter.

"Mother, were you listening to me just now?"

Yu Ji's expression became serious: "Jiao'er, actually, the Snake King is your biological father."

"I was originally going to have you two recognize each other a couple of days ago, but I didn't expect Her Majesty the Empress to come over suddenly."

Yu Jiao blinked her big eyes: "So my father is also Her Majesty the Empress's lover, is that right?"

"Yes, Mother will explain this matter to you slowly."

Yu Jiao showed a rare maturity. Because her stature had remained that of a human child, everyone treated her like a three-year-old.

But her actual age had long exceeded nine hundred years. She was usually a well-behaved girl, and she didn't show much panic regarding such a bombshell of a revelation.

"Mother, no need to explain; I know all of this!"

"Don't treat me like a three-year-old; I know many things."

"In this world, isn't it normal to have many wives and concubines? Even Your Majesty Yu Emperor, as a female demon, can have a harem of three thousand beauties; there's nothing to be surprised about."

Yu Ji beamed with joy. She had originally thought that after revealing the truth, her precious daughter would make a scene, but to her surprise, she was the one being comforted.

"We arrived a step too late; your father must have left for the Immortal Realm. I hope he is safe."

The mother and daughter clenched their fists tightly, praying in their hearts for Xiao Bai to return safely.

After Xiao Bai and Bai Su disappeared simultaneously, Ao Wuming winked at Gui Jianchou.

"Old Gui, now that Big Brother has gone to the Immortal Realm, whether or not you have a chance with the Saintess depends entirely on you."

"I can't help much. I've already taught you all the methods for wooing women; put in more effort."

"If that doesn't work, go ask Old Bull for help; he's suitable for support."

The Bull Demon Emperor had heard Ao Wuming plotting from afar. With his originally fiery temper, he could no longer hold back.

"Bastards! The Alliance Leader has just left, and you dare to set your sights on the Saintess."

Almost at the same time, everyone's gaze focused on Ao Wuming and Gui Jianchou.

Qing Lin transformed into a little resentful wife, walking up aggressively with her hands on her hips.

"So this is what's going on? You two guys dare to target the Saintess."

Qing Lin glared fiercely at Ao Wuming: "Even with my butt, I could tell it was a bad idea from you, you little lecherous dragon."

Ao Wuming laughed awkwardly: "Sister Green Snake, I am a pure and kind little dragon; how could I have such filthy thoughts?"

Afterward, he secretly pointed at Gui Jianchou: "It's Old Gui who has these thoughts."

Ao Wuming stayed in place, not daring to move. He really wanted to turn into a puddle of black liquid and slip away, but doing so would confirm his guilt, and he wouldn't be able to explain it later.

Qing Lin looked Gui Jianchou up and down and shook her head in disappointment: "You're pitch black all over. I don't mean to discourage you, but you simply can't compare to Xiao Bai."

"Even he couldn't conquer the Saintess; you don't think you're better than him, do you?"

"I respect that you're a man for having the courage to pursue the Saintess, but you shouldn't be blindly confident. Don't humiliate yourself."

Gui Jianchou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't said a word the whole time; Ao Wuming had been acting as his spokesperson, debating back and forth with Qing Lin.

"Sister Green Snake, you can't say it like that."

"Brother Bai already has so many top-tier beauties; if he and the Saintess had any fate together, they would have already slept together."

"Perhaps the Saintess likes the low-key and introverted type like Old Gui."

Qing Lin scoffed: "Tch, like him for what? Being black and ugly?"

"Is there a possibility that the Saintess isn't interested in the opposite sex at all?"

Ao Wuming got more and more excited as they talked. Both of them were chatterboxes, and they began whispering to each other.

"Oh? There's such explosive news? Could it be that the Saintess is actually a lesbian?"

"I knew it. With Brother Bai's pick-up skills, how could he not win her over? There's only one explanation: she doesn't like the opposite sex."

Tian Kui could feel from afar that her reputation was about to be ruined, but she was too embarrassed to step forward and stop them.

So she sent a signal to Feng Yun, asking her to come and help her out.

Feng Yun walked up, incensed. She angrily grabbed Ao Wuming's ear and scolded him sternly: "Does your kid have a problem?"

"Xiao Bai just left, and you're already acting like a jerk."

Ao Wuming begged for mercy immediately: "Your Majesty the Queen, spare me! It really has nothing to do with me; it was Old Gui who begged me for help."

"We've been good brothers for so many years; I couldn't just watch him be a bachelor for his whole life, so I had to reluctantly agree."

Feng Yun looked impatient: "Everyone disperse. Give up on this idea; you have no chance."

"Qing Lin, you too. They are just fooling around; why are you coming over to worry about nothing?"

Chapter 390: Heading to the Immortal Realm Again

Qing Lin knew Feng Yun's temper. Before leaving, Bai Su had asked Feng Yun to help look after her and her daughter.
