Mortal: I really didn't want to be reborn as Zi Ling!

Zi Ling sat upright on the viewing platform, her fingers unconsciously playing with the storage bag at her waist.

Although she cursed her cheap father a thousand times in her heart, she still couldn't help but worry about him after she finished cursing him.

For the past six years, both Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan have treated her exceptionally well.

If she wanted a teacher, the other party would provide one; if she wanted resources, the other party would provide them. In the past six years, she had used enough resources to train seven or eight cultivators who had reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

And there will be no less.

And she never refuses any request of hers; she's practically ready to pluck stars from the sky!

The familial love she didn't experience in her previous life due to special circumstances has become an unprecedented source of pressure for her in this life due to the love the two men have for her.

Sometimes I even subconsciously try to avoid it.

Therefore, she truly regarded the two of them as her parents.

When things happen, will the other party still act recklessly like in the original story?

In fact, even if her father couldn't defeat Wu Chou with his current strength, with her prior warning, Wu Chou would have no chance against him now.

If Zhou Yuan, the mother, were to also intervene, and the two of them were to join forces to unleash that combined attack technique, then Wu Chou would be the one in real danger.

But Zi Ling knew very well that the most dangerous person present was never Wu Chou.

He is merely a pawn in the open.

The danger lies with Feng hope in the stands.

It's Lei Peng, who's about to escape!

And the restless Reverse Star Alliance!

Zi Ling glanced at her father.

Wang Heng was holding a wine glass, exchanging pleasantries with Elders Miao and Gu with a normal expression, occasionally pointing out the battle below the stands, showing no sign of anything unusual.

"Please don't do anything stupid!!!"

Zi Ling prayed silently in her heart.

She has done all she could.

The contents of that communication jade slip, along with the appearance of Wu Chou, were enough to make the parents understand the seriousness of the situation.

As long as Father doesn't act rashly, report the news quickly and wait for Elder Xinggong to arrive in time—

The Wonderful Sound Sect has thus survived this ordeal.

And she will also usher in a golden period of development that will last for a century.

Seemingly sensing his daughter's worried gaze, Wang Heng turned his head and winked at her.

His gaze was very light, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seems to be saying, "Don't worry! With your father here, I will never let you get into any danger."

Seeing that her father did not rashly use divine sense to transmit his voice, Zi Ling's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally relieved a little.

Looks like her dad isn't stupid after all!

-

As the family of three exchanged a silent conversation, the battle in the arena came to an end.

Han Li relied on the array formation of Feng Sanniang and others to restrain the Infant Carp Beast, allowing his avatar to attract its attention head-on.

I seized upon the flaw I had previously observed and unleashed the top-tier magic weapon, the "Red Thread Escape Needle".

This set of magical artifacts is expensive, but there's a reason for the high price. Flying needle artifacts are inherently sharp, and this particular needle has been made with special materials to specifically break through various defenses.

A thin, thread-like red light flashed and disappeared.

"Wow--"

In the blink of an eye, the Infant Carp Beast had no time to react. It let out a shrill and ear-piercing scream as blood shot into its pupils and spurted out from the back of its head. The severely injured Infant Carp Beast swung its four arms wildly, and the harpoon smashed into the ground, scattering rubble everywhere.

Just as its vision was obstructed and it panicked, Han Li's avatar, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward.

The Blood Fiend Blade, enveloped in intense baleful energy, slashed fiercely down along the wound created by the flying needles.

The entire blade pierced through the baby carp's head.

Dark green blood gushed out like a spring.

The infant carp beast paused in its movements, and its roar abruptly ceased.

A moment later, the massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The arena fell silent for a moment.

Then, even louder cheers erupted from the stands.

-

"The younger generation is truly formidable! They are indeed formidable!"

On the viewing platform, Wang Heng put down his wine glass, clapped his hands in praise, and asked with admiration in his eyes, "What do you think, Madam?"

He pointed to the figure in the green robe who had sheathed his sword in the center of the arena, then turned to look at Zhou Yuan, his admiration undisguised.

Zhou Yuan frowned.

Her husband is a good person in every way, except that he doesn't know when to stop.

What time is it now?

The situation is extremely urgent!

How can you still have the leisure to care about an outsider?

She glanced coldly at Han Li, then subtly kicked Wang Heng, her face still bearing that gentle smile: "So young, quite impressive!"

He praised her verbally, but his tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion.

Wang Heng was taken aback and looked at his wife with some confusion.

Zi Ling was unaware that her parents had a disagreement about Han Li's performance; her gaze remained fixed on the arena.

Unfortunately, she still hasn't found Wu Chou, nor has she seen Feng hope.

On the stands, everyone cheered with joy when they saw Han Li and his companions defeat the Infant Carp Beast, whose cultivation was comparable to that of a Core Formation cultivator, despite only being at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Applause and cheers rose and fell.

Many people looked proud, as if it was themselves, not Han Li, who had killed the Infant Carp Beast.

Some of those who had taken a couple of sips of fake alcohol even started to pontificate, saying things like, "I knew that kid was something else all along," and "That monster is nothing special. If it were me, I could have easily taken it on."

Zi Ling's lips twitched when she heard these sounds.

Whether mortal or cultivator.

In some situations, there's really no difference!

-

On the arena, Feng Sanniang and the others, who had survived the ordeal, were overjoyed.

Feng Sanniang was panting heavily, her gaze falling on the corpse of the infant carp beast, a longing look flashing across her eyes.

She first thanked Han Li and Zhang Tie, then changed the subject and started thinking about the inner core.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I wonder if you would be willing to give me this inner core... I am willing to offer five thousand spirit stones in exchange."

Han Li did not speak.

As if on a whim, he looked around at the cheering audience and felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.

I feel like I'm being watched by something.

And it's even more dangerous than the Baby Carp Beast!

He subconsciously spread his divine sense, scanning the stands, the passageways, and the flushed faces.

Everything seemed normal, but the unease grew stronger and stronger.

"I can give you the inner core of the Infant Carp Beast, but I want your 'Six Escapes Water Wave Formation'."

Han Li casually replied to Feng Sanniang, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the viewing platform.

He remembered the reminder from the little girl in purple a month ago.

Feng San Niang was taken aback; she hadn't expected it to be so easy. Then, she agreed with a beaming smile.

Formations and similar things are priceless to those who don't understand them, but to her, they're not worth as much as five thousand spirit stones!

We can always make a new set.

Zi Ling naturally noticed Han Li's pleading gaze.

After a moment's thought, she parted her lips slightly and uttered two words silently.

go!

Han Li's pupils contracted sharply.

He doesn't understand lip reading, but those two words were too simple!

It was a sudden impulse, coupled with the other party's advice a month ago.

He took a half step back without making a sound.

The moment the avatar received Han Li's message, it stepped forward and put away the harpoon and crab shield from the infant carp beast.

Just as he was about to take out the inner core and complete the transaction with Feng Sanniang, Elder Miao slowly got up and walked forward to the railing.
