Primordial Era: Mistakenly Taking Emperor Xin as Father, Nuwa is Destroyed at the Start

Su Daji was frantically fleeing for her life in the woods, her heart pounding in her throat.

The creature relentlessly pursuing her was none other than the ferocious nine-tailed fox.

Su Daji clutched tightly the talisman her father had given her before she left Jizhou; it was her only support.

She never imagined that after finally escaping the talent show, instead of gaining freedom, she would run into this deadly monster.

It was only thanks to the power of this amulet that she was able to dodge the nine-tailed fox's deadly attacks time and time again and survive until now.

But the light on the amulet was getting weaker and weaker, and it looked like it was about to go out completely.

The nine-tailed fox clearly noticed this as well, and let out a smug sneer.

"Stop struggling, little beauty." The nine-tailed fox's voice was shrill and piercing. "Just let your sister enjoy you, and you'll suffer less! Once our mission is complete, both of us will benefit greatly!"

Before it finished speaking, the amulet's last glimmer of light finally disappeared completely.

Su Daji's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Just then, a shout came from not far ahead.

"Hey! What are you doing up there?!"

Li Xuan stood there, frowning, holding his dusty, grimy peach wood sword.

He originally wanted to find a place to try out this "beginner swordsmanship", but he ran into this incident not far away.

The nine-tailed fox was feeling smug when she was suddenly interrupted, which made her very unhappy.

It was about to scold this arrogant brat and tell him to get lost and stop getting in the way.

When it opened its mouth, all it emitted was a series of rapid fox cries:

"Squeak! Awooo!"

It was horrified to discover that not only could it not speak human language, but the demonic power within its body was also frozen and could not be mobilized at all!

The nine-tailed fox panicked instantly.

This situation is too bizarre!

It instinctively sensed great danger and turned to run away.

But Li Xuan had already come over with his "sword".

He saw the fox trying to run away, and then remembered that he seemed to have seen it chasing someone earlier, so he subconsciously drew his "sword".

"Trying to run? Stop right there!"

In Li Xuan's own view, he simply swung his sword in the direction of the fox, following the "Thirteen Basic Sword Techniques" in his mind.

He thought to himself: This fox doesn't look very big, I'll just scare it a little.

However, this seemingly ordinary swipe was a completely different sight in the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox and Su Daji!

An indescribable, earth-shattering sword light, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, suddenly shone forth!

The brilliance of the light and the intensity of its power caused the nine-tailed fox to instantly lose its soul!

Only one thought remained in its mind: Great Luo? No! Absolutely above Great Luo!

Someone of this caliber is going to hit me? Is it really necessary?!

The immense fear prevented it from even letting out a scream.

The sword flashed by.

The nine-tailed fox didn't even have a chance to struggle before it was instantly cleaved in two and died a horrible death.

Li Xuan looked at the fox's corpse on the ground, then at the unchanged "firewood stick" in his hand, and curled his lips in disgust.

"Tsk, this fox is too weak! It dares to chase people down the mountain like a tiger with this level of skill?" he couldn't help but complain. "Is it a little dim-witted, doesn't it know its own limitations?"

He casually flicked the "sword," feeling as if he had just struck thin air, without any real feel for it.

"It really is a broken sword; it's not even good enough to cut a fox."

Li Xuan simply thought the fox was ridiculously weak, and also expressed his disdain for his own "weapon".

But Su Daji, who was standing next to her, saw the devastating scene clearly!

She witnessed firsthand how that terrifying sword light instantly annihilated the nine-tailed fox who had been chasing her relentlessly!

Su Daji was so frightened that she stood frozen in place like a wooden stake.

Her face was deathly pale, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word. She could only stare intently at Li Xuan with eyes full of awe and fear.

In her mind, only one thought was racing: an immortal! This must be a legendary immortal! How terrifying!

Li Xuan noticed the terrified look in Su Daji's eyes and felt somewhat puzzled.

He sheathed his "sword" and took two steps toward her.

"Hey, are you alright?" Li Xuan asked, his tone a mix of concern and helplessness. "Were you scared out of your wits? That fox is dead, don't be afraid anymore."

Seeing that Su Daji was still stunned and unresponsive, he added, "Whose daughter are you? What brings you to this desolate place all alone? And have you gotten involved with a fox?"

Su Daji only snapped out of her daze when she heard Li Xuan's question.

She looked at the "unfathomable" "immortal" before her, then at the corpse of the nine-tailed fox on the ground, and the immense shock left her mind in a state of chaos.

She opened her mouth, wanting to answer, but found her voice trembling.

"I...I..." Su Daji stammered, tears welling up in her eyes.

Thinking about how she was forced to leave home, was chased by monsters, and encountered such terrifying things, all the grievances and fear in her heart suddenly burst forth.

"Wah..." Su Daji could no longer hold back and squatted down on the ground, covering her face and crying loudly.

Li Xuan was somewhat at a loss for what to do when she suddenly burst into tears.

"Hey? Don't cry!" He scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "I didn't yell at you. Isn't it a good thing the fox died? Why are you crying?"

He's not good at comforting people, especially girls who are crying so hard.

"Alright, alright, stop crying." Li Xuan tried to make his tone sound gentle. "It's not safe here. Let's go back to my dilapidated courtyard. It's not far from here."

He pointed in the direction he had come from.

Su Daji raised her head, sobbing, and looked at Li Xuan through teary eyes.

She was both scared and helpless. Although the "immortal" in front of her had terrifying methods, he didn't seem to have any intention of harming her and had even saved her.

She nodded subconsciously and whispered, "Um... thank... thank you, immortal..."

Upon hearing the term "immortal," Li Xuan almost burst out laughing.

"What immortal or anything? I'm just a farmer." He waved his hand, turned around and led the way, "Come on, follow me."

Su Daji followed Li Xuan all the way back to that small courtyard.

I was so focused on escaping and being scared that I didn't pay any attention to my savior.

Now that things had calmed down a bit, she secretly began to observe Li Xuan walking ahead of her.

This sight was quite alarming; Su Daji's heart skipped a beat.

She considered herself to have seen many handsome young men, but the young man before her had a clean and refined air that seemed otherworldly.

The lines of his profile were even more beautiful than the celestial beings she had imagined.

Two blushes crept onto Su Daji's face, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any longer.

Li Xuan didn't notice the girl's little scheme behind him.

He was still mentally ranting about that unreliable system.

"Swordsmanship inheritance? Is that all? It's too much trouble to even kill a fox."

"A peach wood sword for merit? More like a fire poker!"

"A blessed land? Nothing's changed!"

"This damn system is getting more and more of a rip-off."

He sighed helplessly and glanced back at Su Daji, who was following him closely.

"Well, at least we brought someone back, so it wasn't a wasted trip."

Pushing open the creaking courtyard gate, Li Xuan stepped aside to let Su Daji go in first.

"Here it is. It's small, please don't mind."

Su Daji quickly waved her hand.

"No, no! It's already an immense favor that the immortal has taken me in!"

When Li Xuan heard the term "immortal," he almost burst out laughing.

"I already told you not to call me an immortal."

He pointed to a small vegetable patch in the corner of the yard.

"Look, I only grow one kind of land. Just call me Li Xuan."

Su Daji looked at the few wilted, yellowing vegetables, and then secretly glanced at the dusty "fire poker" in Li Xuan's hand.

She was even more confused.

That earth-shattering sword strike just now... was it really this guy who calls himself "the farmer" who used it?

Could it be that a master is playing around in the mortal world?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and her gaze towards Li Xuan became even more respectful.

Seeing that she was still very reserved, Li Xuan pointed to a simple wooden stool in the courtyard.

"Don't just stand there, sit down."

He walked to the well, drew up a ladle of water, and handed it to Su Daji.

"You look exhausted. Have some water and relax."

Su Daji was indeed thirsty and tired. She thanked him softly, took the water ladle, and carefully drank a few mouthfuls.

The cool well water soothed her throat, easing her tense nerves slightly.

Li Xuan also moved a small stool and sat down.

Only then did he get a good look at Su Daji's face.

His face was covered in dust and tears when he was fleeing for his life, but now, after cleaning it up a bit, his true appearance is revealed.

Li Xuan thought to himself, "Holy crap!"

This girl is so beautiful!

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and her skin was fair and delicate. Although she looked pale and tired after being frightened, her elegant and refined temperament could not be concealed.

She's an absolutely stunning beauty, capable of bringing ruin to the country!

Li Xuan was slightly amazed.

However, he quickly suppressed those romantic thoughts.

This prehistoric world is too dangerous. I'm already in a precarious situation, so how can I have the mind to think about anything else?

He cleared his throat, trying to keep his tone calm.

"Um... miss, are you feeling any better now?"

Su Daji nodded gently.

"I feel much better, thank you so much, Brother Li..."

"Okay, that's good."

Li Xuan then asked.

"By the way, I still don't know your name? Where do you live? I'll see if I can find a way to send you home?"

"Or could I help you contact your family?"

"With war raging, it's too dangerous for a young woman like you to be out there all alone."

Su Daji's heart tightened.

Looking into Li Xuanzhen's sincere and concerned eyes, her nose felt a little sore.

She desperately wanted to reveal her true identity.

"My name is Su..."

She stopped abruptly as the words were about to come out.

No!

He fled the draft team without permission!

This is a capital offense under the law!

This kind-hearted man, Brother Li, saved me and took me in.

If he finds out that she is a "runaway concubine", it will definitely implicate him and may even lead to her death!

We must not harm our benefactor!

She took a deep breath and swallowed back the words "Daji" that were on the tip of her tongue.

"My name is Su Yu'er."

Her voice trembled slightly.

"My home...my home is in Jizhou."

She tried to make her words sound believable.

"I...I was kidnapped and brought to Chaoge."

Thinking about how she was forced to leave home, almost lost her life to a fox, and had to lie to her savior.

The pent-up grievances and fear could no longer be suppressed.

Tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.

"Wow……"

Su Daji covered her face and couldn't help but cry again.

When Li Xuan saw that she was crying again, he immediately became flustered.

"Hey, hey, don't cry, don't cry!"

He was most afraid of girls crying.

"Kidnapped? Those bastards!"

He automatically imagined a scene of a bully forcibly abducting a woman.

"Don't worry, you're safe with me for now."

"I'll think of a way later, see if I can ask someone to inquire and send you back to Jizhou."

He offered his clumsy words of comfort.

"Don't cry, you'll hurt yourself."

"I bet you're hungry."

Li Xuan remembered the fruit he had just picked; although it was wilted, it was still edible.

"I'll go get you some fruit to tide you over."

"Sit down and rest for a while to calm your nerves."

He stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

I thought it would be a good opportunity to try out the new "kitchenware set" and see if I could make something to eat.

As Su Daji watched Li Xuan walk into the kitchen, she felt both grateful and guilty.

She wiped away her tears and secretly made up her mind.

I will definitely repay this benefactor when I have the chance.

We absolutely cannot cause him any more trouble.

As she was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the old wooden door of the yard.

"Knock knock knock".

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet courtyard.

Su Daji's heart jumped into her throat.

Who would come here?

Could they be pursuers?

She looked nervously toward the kitchen; Li Xuan hadn't come out yet.

There were two more knocks on the door.

Su Daji gritted her teeth.

We can't implicate Brother Li.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her fear, and walked over, carefully opening the courtyard gate.

The door opened.

There were two people standing outside the door.

The leader was tall and imposing, with a dignified face, dressed in a black casual suit, exuding an aura of authority without being angry.

Beside him stood a burly man with a long sword at his waist and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

Su Daji only glanced at it, and her blood seemed to freeze instantly!
