Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 166 Emperor? Not even a dog would do that! (4k, added yesterday)

Jiang Yuyan gracefully crossed the Jinshui Bridge, having no interest in admiring the beautiful sight of golden scales leaping in the air below, nor any intention of swinging her poles. Her heart was filled with the urgent desire to find Wei Wu and comfort her heart, which had just lost her father.

After crossing the Golden Water Bridge, one arrives at the Hundred Gardens meticulously designed by Lin Shiyin. Lin Shiyin was reluctant to leave this paradise, but occasionally Huang Rong would bring Guo Fu back to Peach Blossom Island, and she would get bored. So she simply took the initiative to design the buildings on the Golden Water Bridge side and started playing with modeling.

Although she came from a prominent family and had a good eye for aesthetics, modeling is something that requires talent. Fortunately, she wasn't too bad at it, and she gradually designed buildings such as the Rose Pavilion, Orchid Pavilion, and Peony Garden outside the Plum Garden Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

It's a bit petty for her to design it all by herself.

So Hua Baifeng designed the headquarters of the Extraterrestrial Demon Sect, an oasis in the desert, with strange rocks and inside the headquarters are all kinds of bizarre demon statues. Each demon statue is ferocious and strange, but if you put their movements together, it is a rare martial art called Ruyi Lianhuan, the Eight Forms of Heavenly Demon!

Not to be outdone, Ding Baiyun replicated the Dingjiazhuang border village. Although it was called Dingjiazhuang, it was actually Dingjiabao, a fortified village!

The city features a small moat, high walls and thick battlements, and watchtowers at the four corners. The interior is well-organized with buildings arranged in a staggered manner, interspersed with residences and defensive works. The core is "Dingjiazhuang," a small and exquisite village with no particularly beautiful scenery, but walking through it naturally evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence.

Li Mochou didn't need to move to the Ancient Tomb, and Lin Shiyin and Huang Rong firmly refused. She could only watch longingly as Huang Rong designed Peach Blossom Island, often going there to freeload. She rarely returned to the Ancient Tomb in the Ten Thousand Mountains, saying she was afraid her master would beat her.

Even Guo Fu knew that this wicked aunt was there to steal her food!

Lin Xian and Sun Xiaohong did want to build a structure here, but one of them ran the Xia Nu Zhuang, which was actually the Li family's Li Garden. Bringing it up in front of Lin Shiyin would be like throwing a tantrum. The other, who was currently in charge of the Sun family's affairs, like Lan Xiezi, only came to this secluded paradise occasionally. So they simply gave up on it.

Now, however, there is a new place called Xiuyu Valley and Yihua Palace. The deep mountains and valleys are shrouded in mist, and the palace is built entirely of white marble. Under the hazy sunlight, it shimmers with a milky white luster, adding a touch of mystery to the place.

Jiang Yuyan wandered around and finally arrived at the Yihua Palace.

A banquet was being held in the main hall of Yihua Palace. Jiang Yuyan could hear the laughter and merriment from afar. Her cheeks puffed up, and her lips trembled as she recalled the sad things of her life. She wanted to cry and seek comfort.

But even as she approached the entrance to the main hall, Jiang Yuyan couldn't bring herself to cry. Instead, she rubbed her eyes until they were red, and then strode into the main hall.

Inside the main hall was a round white marble table large enough to seat eighteen people. Wei Wu naturally sat in the main seat, holding Guo Fu, who was clinging to him, in his arms. To his left was Lin Shiyin, who looked at Guo Fu with gentle eyes. To his right sat Huang Rong, whose charming eyes were imprinted with the images of Guo Fu and Wei Wu. She had a sweet smile on her face, one hand propped up on the table, her head bent over her fist, her posture quite languid.

Starting from Lin Shiyin's side, Lin Xian'er, Hua Baifeng, and Ding Baiyun took their seats in that order, but then a large area became empty.

Li Mochou sat right next to Huang Rong. As a habitual dessert thief, she felt that the snake gall bladder didn't taste quite right without some dessert to accompany it. Therefore, Huang Rong deliberately sat to the side with her back to Li Mochou, just to keep an eye on this unethical fellow.

Lin Pan'er and Xiaolongnu naturally sat next to Li Mochou, but the people who came out of the Ancient Tomb were all aloof and had no desire to talk. They focused on eating the sweet lotus root in front of them and the various delicacies that Huang Rong had specially made for Xiaolongnu.

Yaoyue, dressed in a moon-white palace gown, sat opposite Wei Wu, her expression still proud and her demeanor dignified, resembling a bright moon.

Like a fairy, she showed no trace of the distorted facial expressions that would occur when she succumbed to the sea of ​​flowers.

With her inner turmoil gone, Lianxing's serene face was adorned with a gentle smile. Although she shared the same type of phoenix eyes as Yaoyue, they lacked the sharpness of her sister's. Instead, the cunning glint in her pupils made her appear much more intelligent.

Su Ying was preoccupied with the abundant medicinal herbs in the Ten Thousand Mountains. She ate a few mouthfuls haphazardly and then left. However, Hua Nu did not clean up her bowl and chopsticks, so a set of white jade carved bowl and chopsticks that looked like they hadn't been touched remained next to Lian Xing.

Tie Xinlan, on the other hand, felt extremely uncomfortable here.

She ultimately chose to do business with Wei Wu, hoping he could help her rescue her father, Tie Ruyun. However, although Wei Wu agreed, he did not leave immediately but instead held a banquet.

Therefore, Tie Xinlan found the food rather bland and barely touched her chopsticks more than twice.

Lin Xian'er is still at Xia Nv Zhuang, and Sun Xiaohong is still at the Sun family.

The rarely seen Blue Scorpion did arrive. She had intended to perform her belly dance, but seeing that there were children present, she had to put aside that idea. After toasting everyone, she returned to the Heroine's Manor.

Although there was no improper dance or music, Tie Pinggu and her flower servants stood beside their mistress to serve the dishes, while Shen San Niang and the others under Hua Baifeng performed the Heavenly Demon Dance, which was somewhere between proper and improper, so the banquet was not boring.

Even though Jiang Yuyan suddenly barged in, everyone at the table seemed used to people coming and going. Lin Shiyin even stood up and said, "Sister's here? Sit down quickly—wait, why are you crying?"

Lin Shiyin was simpler than Jiang Yuyan and the others. Seeing Jiang Yuyan's red eyes, she assumed she had been crying and thought she was...

Unlike Hua Baifeng and Ding Baiyun, Huang Rong and the others could tell at a glance that Jiang Yuyan was mostly putting on an act when she was bullied outside.

Jiang Yuyan pretended to sniffle and said, "My father, my father is dead."

Lin Shiyin felt even more sorry for her. She took Jiang Yuyan's hand and pulled her to a seat. She even ladled a bowl of sweet soup for her and asked considerately, "Do you know who the murderer is? If you want revenge, they are all on our side. You can ask Wei Wu for help."

Wei Wu smiled enigmatically, pinched Guo Fu's lips as she was about to speak, and shut her up.

Hua Baifeng rolled her eyes and said rather irritably, "It's just that one of your fathers died. Who are you trying to fool by pretending to cry?"

Jiang Yuyan felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously raised the knife at her waist.

Snapped!

Because one of Jiang Yuyan's hands was being held by Lin Shiyin, Hua Baifeng's whip wrapped around Jiang Yuyan's wrist before she could draw her sword. With a quick tightening and loosening, Hua Baifeng pulled the curved sword from Jiang Yuyan's hand into Hua Baifeng's.

"Give me back my knife!" Jiang Yan stood up anxiously.

Hua Baifeng sneered and sheathed her sword: "Your sword? This is my father's sword. At most, it was given to you by his master."

Jiang Yuyan looked at Wei Wu in astonishment.

Wei Wu nodded slightly and said, "This is indeed her father's sword. Since you seem to enjoy using it, I'll let you continue using it."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Hua Baifeng raised her hand and threw the knife in front of Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yuyan subconsciously reached out and grabbed the knife, her expression somewhat complicated.

She was unwilling to use something another man had used, but the knife was given to her by Wei Wu, making her extremely conflicted.

Wei Wu's voice rang out: "It's just an inanimate object. Use it if you want, don't use it if you don't want to."

Jiang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, placed the knife on the table, and pushed it forward. "I'll find an even better knife."

Seeing them talking about the "knife" so casually, Lin Shiyin knew that she had worried about Jiang Yuyan for nothing. However, she had a good temper and was not angry. She smiled, patted Jiang Yuyan's hand, and got up to sit back in her seat.

Jiang Yuyan then realized she had been exposed and laughed sheepishly.

Hua Baifeng looked at Jiang Yuyan with great interest. "The smell of blood on the knife hasn't faded yet. Did you just kill someone with it?"

"Yeah, some bastard claimed to be my dad, and I killed him."

Jiang Yuyan smiled lightly, glanced around, and spoke casually, also to make herself seem less intimidating.

To everyone's surprise, Wei Wu said, "Jiang Biehe?"

Jiang Yuyan was taken aback, then nodded and asked, "Master, how did you guess that?"

"Because he's your father." Wei Wu considerately covered Guo Fu's ears, but this little girl was also quite precocious. With her bare feet on the table, she reached out and grabbed Wei Wu's ears as well.

Jiang Yuyan's expression showed a moment of astonishment, then she said casually, "Oh, then it seems I didn't kill the wrong person."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin, Huang Rong, Li Mochou, and Lin Pan'er showed some displeasure, while Hua Baifeng and Ding Baiyun remained calm. The former even asked with a smile, "Give birth but not raise?"

Jiang Yuyan nodded.

Huang Rong and the others then showed less resistance on their faces.

Seeing that Wei Wu's expression hadn't changed at all, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but become coy: "Master, why don't you ask me what happened?"

"Wait," Wei Wu said, pulling Guo Fu into his arms and gesturing to Huang Rong to take Guo Fu away.

The girl seemed to have figured something out, and instead became more energetic, insisting on crawling into Wei Wu's clothes. Huang Rong picked her up, patted her little bottom twice, and then took her away.

"You two can continue your conversation; it's time for Fu'er to go to sleep."

"Wow—I'm not sleepy! Mom, I don't want to sleep, I want Uncle Wei, wow!"

"Slap!" "Slap!"

After two more taps, Guo Fu quieted down.

Lin Shiyin's face showed distress, but she didn't stop Huang Rong at this moment. She just whispered, "Sister Rong, really, you could have just said something. How could you hit Fu'er?"

She simply stood up, left the banquet hall after saying "I'll go take a look."

Hua Baifeng gestured for Shen Sanniang to stop the dance and music, while simultaneously looking at Xiaolongnu.

As Little Dragon Girl was intently eating the mandarin fish in front of her, she suddenly felt a lot of things falling on her. She gently closed her mouth, which had just opened, and looked up to see that everyone was looking at her. She tilted her head and looked at her master in confusion.

Lin Pan'er ruffled her hair and said, "Long'er, let's go back too, okay?"

Little Dragon Girl put down the mandarin fish, nodded, and her face remained expressionless from beginning to end, except for a hint of regret in her eyes. But she still obediently followed Lin Pan'er.

Without the children, the music and dancing at the banquet stopped, but the atmosphere seemed to become even more intense.

Jiang Yuyan repeated what Jiang Biehe had told her, then looked at Wei Wu with great interest, "Master, do you want the throne?"

"The throne?"

Everyone burst into laughter at her words, with Hua Baifeng laughing so hard she was shaking uncontrollably. Wiping away imaginary tears, she said, "Is it that the martial world is too difficult to navigate, or that immortality isn't desirable? Why bother becoming an emperor? Is there anyone here who cares about the common people?"

Ding Baiyun sneered, "Maybe she thinks she's Emperor Longyu from our Qianqing Palace. With the daily selection of concubines, the palace won't be able to keep up with the women, how many of our own people will get a share?"

Jiang Yuyan's expression then changed.

In her simple mind, the emperor was supreme, and the only way she could repay him was to put her master in that position.

Now that the title of "Emperor" has been reduced to nothing, Jiang Yuyan's eyes are truly red, revealing a wronged expression.

Li Mochou then said, "We're at war every day over there. Everyone, whether officials or commoners, is cursing the emperor. It's clear that this emperor is no human being."

"If we only cared about enjoying ourselves, we'd be much more carefree than the emperor, so there's no need for this," Wei Wu stood up and walked to Jiang Yuyan's side, rubbing her shoulders and saying warmly, "You are my best gift. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want, just do it and ask for it."

"With me here, even if you want to be emperor, your master will fight alongside you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyan was overwhelmed with gratitude, tears streaming down her face. She suddenly stood up and hugged Wei Wu, crying, "Master! Waaah—"

Jiang Yuyan used a lot of force, so much so that she almost wanted to pull Wei Wu into her arms.

Wei Wu simply smiled and patted her back to help her catch her breath. Once Jiang Yuyan's sobs subsided, he asked, "Have you decided what you want to do?"

Jiang Yuyan shyly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered twice, and a ruthless expression that didn't match her delicate features appeared on her face. She said with a gentle smile, "This disciple wants to kill the Crown Prince."

"Since Liu happy wants to drag my master into this mess, I'll take the initiative to find him and see what he's capable of to scheme against my master."

Jiang Yuyan's expression seemed genuine, and a flash of sword energy emanated from her as she spoke, truly revealing her sharp edge.

Wei Wu smiled contentedly and stroked her face with the back of his hand. "Do it if you want. Tie Xinlan and I will go with you then. If you can kill..."

Liu happy, just kill him. If you can't kill him, I'll be here too, so don't worry.

Li Mochou pouted upon hearing this, "How unfair! Why don't you usually accompany me and Sister Rong on our training trips?"

Wei Wu glanced at her sideways. "So, you have a master on your side?"

Li Mochou chuckled awkwardly, "Not many—"

Previously, Wei Wu had provided a large number of Bodhi snake gallbladders, as well as the gallbladder of a Bodhi snake king, which had already made up for a lot of Li Mochou's shortcomings, and both her true qi and strength had improved rapidly.

Later, with Wei Wu's guidance, she and Lin Pan'er cultivated the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra together, and her martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds. Now, she can be considered one of the best among the Five Greats.

"That crazy guy is impossible to find, it's driving me crazy!"
