78: Chapter 78 Ji Ziyue Offers a Kiss! Nannan Wants a Kiss Too! The Zhuofeng Inheritance Begins!

Ji Haoyue was struck until he was dizzy and disoriented, feeling as if every bone in his body was about to fall apart.

He tried to struggle to his feet, but that golden Dao Palace Deity had already stepped on his chest, weighing down like an immemorial divine mountain, leaving him unable to move.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Inside the great hall, whether it was the Elders of Star Peak or the various Prodigies, everyone's mouths were wide open, their faces blank with shock.

A battle at the same level...

No, this wasn't a battle at all.

This was a one-sided crushing! It was a total beatdown!

And he had only used a single Dao Palace Deity Incarnation!

At the head seat, Hua Yunfei's hand, which was stroking the zither, trembled slightly, causing the strings to emit a sharp, jarring vibration.

In those deep eyes of his, a profound sense of wariness appeared for the first time.

"Is this the Ancient Desolate Saint Body?"

"Invincible at the same level—to think it's as terrifying as this?"

At this moment, Ji Haoyue, who was pinned to the ground, had vacant eyes, his face full of existential doubt.

Defeated.

He was defeated again.

Last time he was slapped away by Yan Ruyu, and this time he was stepped on by one of Ye Xuan's Incarnations.

Was his East Wasteland Divine Body a fake?

"Brother!"

A tearful exclamation broke the deathly silence.

Ji Ziyue, who had been in a daze, finally reacted when she saw her brother being beaten so badly.

Ignoring her fear of Ye Xuan, she threw down the shrimp in her hand and rushed over, shielding Ji Haoyue.

"Stop hitting him! Wuwuwu..."

Ji Ziyue spread her arms to protect her brother on the ground, looking at Ye Xuan with tears streaming down her face.

"Big Devil Head, I beg you, stop hitting him!"

"My brother is almost being beaten to death by you! Wuwuwu..."

Looking at the sobbing Ji Ziyue, Ye Xuan had a thought, and the golden Dao Palace Deity slowly withdrew its foot, turning into a streak of golden light that flew back into his body.

"What? Feeling distressed?"

Ye Xuan looked at her with a faint smile.

"He was the one who wanted to fight; I gave him a chance."

"Wuwuwu... I know I was wrong, can't I just admit defeat on my brother's behalf?"

Ji Ziyue said piteously while wiping away her tears.

"Please let him go. If something really happens to him, Grandfather will scold me to death when I go back."

Ye Xuan set down his wine cup and leaned forward slightly, his eyes burning as he stared at Ji Ziyue's exquisite little face.

"When begging someone, one must have the proper attitude."

"I have always been a person who doesn't do business at a loss."

Ji Ziyue was stunned and stopped crying, looking at him blankly.

"Then... then what do you want? I have Source, and many Magic Treasures..."

"Vulgar."

Ye Xuan interrupted her, extending a finger and pointing at his own cheek.

"It's fine if you want me to let him go."

"Come over and give me a kiss."

"Huh?!"

Ji Ziyue's eyes widened, and her little face instantly turned beet red, like a ripe apple.

"You... you rogue!"

The people in the hall also gasped.

This Saint Body Ye... really knows how to play, doesn't he?

Publicly teasing the little princess of the Ji Family?

"Unwilling?"

Ye Xuan shrugged and made a motion as if to summon the Dao Palace Deity again.

"Then forget it. That kick just now didn't seem to land firmly..."

"Don't!"

Ji Ziyue was startled.

She glanced at her brother on the ground, who was breathing weakly and still spitting up blood, and steeled her heart.

"A kiss it is! Anyway... anyway, I'll just consider it being nudged by a pig!"

Ji Ziyue closed her eyes, wearing an expression as if she were facing death.

She walked forward tremblingly, then parted her red lips slightly and gave Ye Xuan's cheek a light, fleeting peck like a dragonfly skimming water.

It was soft, warm, and carried a hint of a young girl's unique fragrance.

"There... is that enough!"

Ji Ziyue recoiled as if from an electric shock, her whole body felt like it was on fire, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

However, just then.

Ji Haoyue, who had been semi-conscious, perhaps sensing his sister's 'crisis', miraculously opened his eyes.

As soon as his vision focused, he saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life—

His pure, jade-like sister, whom he cherished as a treasure, was blushing and taking the initiative to kiss that demon who had just rubbed him into the ground!

"Zi... Ziyue..."

Ji Haoyue reached out a trembling hand, pointing at the two of them.

"You... you two..."

"Pfft!"

Fury attacked Ji Haoyue's heart, and a mouthful of blood sprayed three feet high.

His eyes rolled back, his legs kicked once, and he fainted away from sheer anger.

"Brother!"

Ji Ziyue cried out and hurriedly went to pinch Ji Haoyue's philtrum.

"Hahahaha!"

Ye Xuan watched this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This brother-in-law's psychological resilience still needed some improvement.

Right at that moment.

Little Nannan, who had been watching everything, seemed to think this was a very fun game.

She blinked her big eyes, turned around, and hugged Ye Xuan's neck.

"Mwah!"

She gave a heavy kiss on Ye Xuan's other cheek.

"Heehee! Nannan wants to kiss too!"

Little Nannan laughed with her eyes curved into crescents, innocent and romantic.

Ye Xuan laughed even more happily, picking up Little Nannan and giving her a kiss on her pink, chubby little cheek.

"Good! Nannan is still the most well-behaved!"

Inside the Star Peak hall, there was a patch of silence.

Everyone looked at this scene with strange expressions.

After beating the Ji Family Divine Body, he even teased the Little Moon...

How was this coming to a banquet? This was clearly coming to crash the party and show off affection along the way!

At the head seat.

Hua Yunfei looked at the unrestrainedly laughing Ye Xuan. Although he maintained a gentle smile on his face, those hands stroking the zither tightened imperceptibly.

This Ye Xuan...

Whether in terms of strength or Heart-Nature, he was a massive variable.

"It seems the plan will have to change."

Hua Yunfei murmured in his heart, and deep in his eyes, a flicker of profound black light flashed and vanished.

This farce of a banquet finally ended hastily amidst Hua Yunfei's slightly stiff smile.

Ye Xuan ate and drank his fill, carrying the satisfied Little Nannan in one arm and leading Ji Ziyue like a bullied child with the other, as he swaggered away from Star Peak.

As for that "brother-in-law" Ji Haoyue who had fainted from anger, he was carried back along with his bed by the Ji Family Elders who arrived later with dark faces.

Regarding this, although the Ji Family was resentful, they surprisingly remained silent.

After all, the fierce display of Ye Xuan's bare hands clashing with the void mirror a few days ago was still fresh in their minds, and those Grand Elders were still recovering within the clan; who would dare to court disaster at this juncture?

Furthermore, scouts reported that although the little princess was acting as a maid, she ate and drank well every day, and her little face had even rounded out a bit; she clearly wasn't suffering any abuse.

Thus, the Ji Family higher-ups could only turn a blind eye, treating it as if the little princess was being fostered by that "Young King." Some even secretly thought that if a marriage alliance truly happened, it wouldn't seem like a loss?

After this battle, the name of Zhuo Peak's Ye Xuan completely resounded through the Tai Xuan Sect and even rapidly spread to the entire younger generation of the East Wasteland.

Countless people were guessing his true Realm; some said it was Dragon Transformation Great Perfection, and some even asserted he had already stepped into the Xiantai Secret Realm and was a peerless Prodigy.

Among the one hundred and eight peaks of the Tai Xuan Sect, no one dared to look down on that desolate Zhuo Peak anymore.

In the following days, time passed peacefully.

On this day, the originally desolate Zhuo Peak suddenly showed a strange phenomenon.

Li Ruoyu, who had been silently sweeping the ground, stood at the mountain peak, his whole being seemingly merging with heaven, earth, and nature.

Great skill appears clumsy, Great Perfection appears flawed.

The originally withered vegetation instantly met with spring, and a Nine-Step Heavenly Staircase manifested in the void, with ancient dao rhymes flowing incessantly.

The Zhuo Peak Legacy, which had been severed for five hundred years, had finally opened.
