Investiture of the Gods: Childhood Sweetheart Daji, Starting with Quasi-Saint Cultivation

Despite the large number of demon kings, they were all suppressed by Su Yunbai alone, thanks to the combined effect of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and the Love Thread Entanglement.

Every breath, a demon king falls.

But there are just too many demons.

They can't be killed all of them.

Half an hour later, Su Yunbai's white clothes were stained with blood, and his breathing was slightly disordered.

Can't delay any longer.

He looked into the depths of the demonic clouds.

"Kunpeng, if you don't come out soon, all these demon kings will die."

Quiet.

A moment later, a sigh came from the depths of the demonic clouds.

"Human, you're quite good."

The clouds parted.

An old man in black robes stepped out into the air.

His face was withered, his eyes were like abysses, and his aura was like a prison or the sea.

It was none other than the demon master Kunpeng.

"But, this is the end."

Kunpeng raised his hand.

The sky and earth changed color.

A massive, sky-covering claw descended from the heavens, lunging towards Su Yunbai!

This claw strike contained the power of a Quasi-Saint at the peak!

Su Yunbai's expression turned solemn as he unleashed a full-force strike with his Love Threads!

The silver light collided with the roc's claws.

boom--!

The shockwave swept for miles.

Su Yunbai was sent flying backward, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The Kunpeng remained completely still.

"You're quite good," Kunpeng said calmly, "but you're ultimately just a quasi-saint."

He raised his hand again.

The second claw landed.

This time, Su Yunbai had no way to avoid it.

At that very moment—

That's enough.

A cool, clear female voice rang out.

A beam of seven-colored light descended from the sky, blocking the roc's claws.

In the glow of the sunset, a woman in palace attire slowly emerged.

Her beauty was unparalleled, her aura sacred, and a phantom image of the Mountain and River Map floated behind her head.

Nuwa, also known as Wa Huang.

Kunpeng frowned: "Nuwa, are you going to interfere?"

Nuwa looked at him: "Kunpeng, retreat."

"On what grounds?"

"Because I am a saint," Nuwa said calmly, "and because the demon race is under my protection."

Kunpeng remained silent.

Nuwa continued, "The Investiture of the Gods is a time of infighting among humans; the demon race should not be involved. Leave, and I will pretend that today's events never happened."

A struggle flashed in Kunpeng's eyes.

He looked at Su Yunbai, then at Nuwa.

In the end, he stopped.

"Alright, I'll give Nuwa face."

He turned around and looked at the demon army.

"withdraw."

The demonic cloud began to retreat.

Nuwa looked at Su Yunbai with a complicated expression.

"Su Yunbai, you..."

"Goddess Nuwa," Su Yunbai interrupted her, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, "I have a question."

"you say."

"Back then, was it you who sent the nine-tailed fox to wreak havoc in Chaoge?"

Nuwa was taken aback.

"But you, do you intend to destroy the Shang dynasty?"

Nuwa remained silent.

Su Yunbai smiled, but his smile was icy.

"Your Majesty, since you are a holy mother of humankind, why would you do such a thing?"

Nuwa sighed softly, "Such is the will of Heaven."

"Fate?" Su Yunbai shook his head. "I don't believe in fate."

"you……"

"I only trust the sword in my hand, and I only trust the people around me." Su Yunbai looked directly at Nuwa. "I am grateful for Your Majesty's help today. But I will never forget what happened back then."

Nuwa looked at him for a long time before saying:

"Do you know what the consequences will be for going against the will of Heaven?"

"I know." Su Yunbai gripped the Love Threads tightly. "But if fate is to destroy those I care about, then I will defy the heavens."

Nuwa sighed.

She turned around, took a step, and disappeared into the horizon.

Only one sentence was left:

"Take care of yourself."

The demons retreated.

A deafening cheer erupted in Chaoge City.

Su Yunbai returned to the city wall, where the women surrounded him.

"Are you badly injured?" Yunxiao asked.

"It's alright." Su Yunbai shook his head.

Bixiao said angrily, "What about the Goddess Nuwa? Was it really her who sent the fox spirit to harm my eldest sister back then?"

Su Yunbai nodded.

"Then why are you thanking her?"

"One thing at a time," Su Yunbai said. "She did indeed get us out of that predicament today."

Ao Ling said calmly, "Nuwa's attitude is ambiguous. She helps us but also protects the demon race. I don't know what she means by that."

Zhao Gongming spoke up: "She's observing."

Everyone looked at him.

"Even the sages are gambling during the Investiture of the Gods calamity," Zhao Gongming said. "Nuwa appears to be neutral, but in reality... she's placing her bets."

"Whom should we bet on?"

"We're betting on variables." Zhao Gongming looked at Su Yunbai. "And you are the biggest variable."

Su Yunbai remained silent.

He looked westward.

Although the demon race has retreated, the great calamity has not yet ended.

Xiqi still exists, Chanjiao still exists, and Xifangjiao still exists.

The road ahead is long.

That night, at the General's Mansion.

Su Yunbai was resting in his study.

The door was pushed open, and Yunxiao walked in.

"What's wrong?" He opened his eyes.

"I came to see you." Yunxiao walked to his side. "How are your injuries?"

"Much better."

Yunxiao reached out and placed her hand on his back, slowly channeling the power of music into him to help regulate his internal energy.

"Nuwa's appearance today may not be a good thing," she said softly.

"I know."

She's testing you.

Su Yunbai nodded: "Let's see if I'll back down."

"Can you?"

"No." Su Yunbai held her hand. "I got to where I am today not by giving in."

A smile appeared in Yunxiao's eyes.

"That's good."

She paused.

"Yunbai, Bixiao said... Qiongxiao is coming."

"Um."

What do you think?

Su Yunbai looked at her: "What do you think?"

Yunxiao remained silent for a moment.

"Qiongxiao is my sister," she said slowly. "She has a cold personality, but a kind heart. If she's willing... I'd be happy."

Su Yunbai pulled her into his arms.

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me." Yunxiao leaned on his shoulder. "As long as you treat her sincerely, that's enough."

The two embraced, the candlelight flickering gently.

Outside the window, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

Three days later.

Reconstruction of Chaoge City has begun.

Although the demons retreated, the city walls were severely damaged and will require time to repair.

Su Yunbai was training his troops on the drill ground when a guard suddenly came to report:

"General, a fairy maiden outside the city is requesting an audience. She calls herself Qiongxiao."

coming.

Su Yunbai lowered his spear.

"Please invite her to the main hall."

"Yes."

main hall.

When Su Yunbai stepped in, he saw a woman in white standing quietly in the hall.

She bears a striking resemblance to Yunxiao, but her temperament is colder, like ice and snow.

"Fairy Qiongxiao." Su Yunbai bowed.

Qiongxiao turned around, her icy blue eyes looking at him.

"Su Yunbai?"

"Exactly."

Qiongxiao sized him up for a moment.

"In her letter, my third sister praised you to the skies, saying you were unparalleled in the world."

Su Yunbai smiled and said, "Bixiao, you flatter me."

"Where's my older sister?"

"At Qinyin Pavilion."

Qiongxiao nodded, then suddenly said:

"I heard you killed the nine-tailed fox sent by the goddess Nuwa?"

"Yes."

"Do you know that's the method of a sage?"

"Know."

"Then do you know the fate of those who defy the Holy One?"

Su Yunbai looked at her: "Did the fairy come to persuade me?"

Qiongxiao shook her head.

"I'm just curious," she said calmly, "What kind of person dares to defy the Holy One?"

"Now you see it?"

"I see." A faint smile flashed in Qiongxiao's eyes. "Nothing special."

Su Yunbai chuckled.

These three sisters really have quite the personalities...

"Has the fairy come to lend a hand, or...?"

"Let's see," Qiongxiao said, "Let's see if it's worth it."

"What's worth it?"

Qiongxiao didn't answer, and turned to walk outside.

"Take me to see my older sister."

Su Yunbai followed.

The two walked towards the Qinyin Pavilion, one after the other.

The sunlight cast long shadows on them.

Qinyin Pavilion.

When Yunxiao saw Qiongxiao, his eyes lit up with surprise.

"Second Sister."

"Elder sister," Qiongxiao bowed.

The two sisters looked at each other, and everything was understood without words.

Upon hearing the news, Bixiao rushed over and threw herself into Qiongxiao's arms.

"Second Sister! You've finally arrived!"

Qiongxiao patted her back gently: "How old are you? Why are you still making such a fuss?"

I miss you~

The three reminisced, while Su Yunbai watched quietly from the side.
