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

Su Daji certainly recognized these two people!

The portrait had already spread throughout the residences of all the feudal lords!

Standing at the front was none other than the King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin!

Standing next to him was King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu!

Finished!

They've found us!

They must be here to capture me, the "runaway concubine"!

Su Daji's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

A tremendous fear gripped her.

Only one thought remained in her mind.

There's no escaping it now.

But no matter what, I can't let Brother Li, who saved me, get into trouble!

She took a deep breath and mustered her last bit of courage.

Just as he was about to say, "I'll go with you; this matter has nothing to do with the owner of the courtyard..."

The words hadn't even left his mouth.

The kitchen door curtain was lifted.

Li Xuan held two washed, wilted-looking wild fruits in his hand, saying as he walked out:

"Miss Yu'er, the fruit is washed, you can go first..."

He paused when he saw the two people at the door.

Immediately, a surprised smile appeared on his face.

He strode over and naturally called out to the imposing man in black robes outside the door:

"Dad! You're back!"

The voice was clear and sweet, conveying a sense of intimacy.

That cry of "Father" struck Su Daji's mind like a thunderbolt!

boom!

She was completely stunned!

His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly agape, and he stood frozen in place, like a petrified statue.

Emperor Xin?

Li Xuan's father?

How...how is this possible?

Could it be... that the young man who saved her was actually a prince of the Shang Dynasty traveling incognito? Su Daji felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat; the immense shock completely robbed her of her ability to think.

She stared blankly at Li Xuan, then at Di Xin and Huang Feihu at the door, whose expressions were also somewhat subtle, her hands and feet turning cold.

Di Xin and Huang Feihu were actually quite confused.

Having just seen Su Daji's portrait, they naturally recognized her at a glance as the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou, who should have been on her way to the palace.

Didn't she run away? How come she's in this secluded courtyard, and with Li Xuan? The two of them were filled with questions.

Just then, Li Xuan spoke again, his tone tinged with a hint of smugness: "Dad, why are you only getting back now? Did you run into any trouble on the way?"

Di Xin suppressed his surprise and doubt, quickly putting on a kind smile as if he were truly seeing his own son:

"Oh, I'm back. The journey was... well, there were a few minor hiccups, but they're all resolved. And who is this young lady?"

He pretended not to know Su Daji at all and naturally turned his gaze to her.

Li Xuan immediately stepped aside, making room for Su Daji, and explained:

"Oh, her? I just ran into her while I was out for a stroll. Her name is Su Yu'er, and she's from Jizhou. She was being chased and bitten by a clumsy fox and almost got into serious trouble. Luckily, I saw what was happening, so I killed the fox and brought her back."

Li Xuan spoke of it casually, as if he had merely swatted a fly.

But to Di Xin and Huang Feihu, these words were like a thunderclap!

"Just chopped it off?!"

Di Xin and Huang Feihu exclaimed in their hearts almost simultaneously, their eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp. They quickly exchanged a glance, both seeing intense shock in each other's eyes.

On their way here, they did see the traces of that terrifying sword light that shook the heavens and earth, as if it could split the sky, and the huge nine-tailed fox corpse on the ground that had been cleanly and neatly split in two and was exuding a strong demonic aura!

The overwhelming resentment and lingering sharp sword intent made even these two battle-hardened experts feel a chill run down their spines.

They immediately concluded that the one who made the move was an unimaginable peerless swordsman with unfathomable strength.

To everyone's surprise, Li Xuan said that the earth-shattering sword strike was something he "casually" did.

He's still using that drab, unremarkable "firewood stick"?!

Just how terrifying is Li Xuan's strength?

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within them, and their gazes toward Li Xuan were filled with disbelief and deep apprehension.

"I see."

Di Xin, being an emperor after all, was a man of deep cunning. He forcibly suppressed his turbulent emotions, put on a gentle smile again, and nodded to Su Daji.

"Miss Su, you've been frightened. My surname is... um, Li. This is my... um, my good-for-nothing son, Li Xuan. Since my son saved you, please rest here and don't be shy."

"Thank you so much, Uncle."

Su Daji's voice trembled with nervousness, and she lowered her head, not daring to look Di Xin in the eye.

She was filled with unease, completely unable to figure out what the Emperor was up to or why he was pretending not to know her.

I'm thinking about it.

Li Xuan came out of the kitchen carrying several rough earthenware bowls filled with freshly brewed tea, which was still steaming.

"Come, come, don't just sit there, have some tea to calm your nerves."

He divided the bowl among Di Xin, Huang Feihu, and Su Daji.

Each of the three had their own thoughts as they accepted the bowl.

Di Xin and Huang Feihu were still pondering the earth-shattering sword strike and the corpse of the nine-tailed fox.

Su Daji was extremely nervous, and her hands holding the bowl were trembling slightly.

Di Xin symbolically blew on the hot air and took a sip.

The tea was slightly astringent at first sip, but then an indescribable cool sensation rushed straight to the top of my head!

He felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been enlightened. A certain bottleneck in his cultivation that had troubled him for a long time was showing signs of loosening!

It felt like a warm current flowed into my body, sweeping away all my fatigue and even making me feel more energetic.

"Holy shit!" Huang Feihu couldn't help but curse.

He had just taken a sip when he felt an incredibly pure energy explode throughout his body!

He subconsciously activated his family's cultivation technique, and his cultivation bottleneck, which had been stagnant for many years, suddenly showed signs of breaking through with a "crack"!

This effect is even more potent than the elixir he obtained from the Chan Sect at great expense back then!

"What...what kind of tea is this?!" Huang Feihu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared incredulously at the few inconspicuous leaves in the bowl.

He suddenly looked up at Li Xuan, his voice trembling, "Brother Li... this tea of ​​yours..."

Su Daji also took a small sip.

Unlike Di Xin and Huang Feihu, she didn't have any cultivation, but she also felt a warm aura enveloping her whole body.

The fatigue and chill from days of running away vanished instantly, leaving me feeling warm, light, and so comfortable I wanted to sigh.

Her pale face visibly regained its color.

"So comfortable..." she couldn't help but murmur softly, her gaze towards Li Xuan filled with even greater awe.

Li Xuanzheng picked up a wilted wild fruit and started munching on it, somewhat puzzled by their strong reaction.

"Tea? It was picked from those old tea trees in the backyard."

He pointed to a few tea bushes in the corner of the yard that also looked wilted, "Just pick some, dry them, and brew them into tea to quench your thirst."

"Planted randomly?!"

Huang Feihu's voice rose eight octaves.

He could no longer restrain himself and tried to fully circulate the magic power within his body.

boom!

A surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, several times purer and richer than usual, was instantly drawn into his body and rushed in!

This feeling... this feeling is much richer and purer than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he felt at the ancestral temple of the Chan Sect when he sent his son Huang Tianhua to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain to become a disciple!

Huang Feihu was completely dumbfounded, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

He looked at the ordinary rough pottery bowl in his hand, at the ordinary tea in the bowl, then at the dilapidated courtyard, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Xuan.

There's definitely something wrong with this place!

No, it's this "Brother Li" who's too terrifying!
