Miss Loser is too enchanting

"Qianye, you all go back first, we can handle it here," Mo Jingchuan, seeing Dugu Qianye standing there in a daze, thought she was tired from the battle and told her to head back first.

Dugu Qianye nodded and said to the jubilantly feasting Vine Emperor, "Hurry back later!" Then she rode away on Xiaohuo.

The Vine Emperor, too engrossed in its joyous feast, had entirely forgotten Dugu Qianye’s presence and naturally didn’t hear what she said. By the time it finished eating, Dugu Qianye’s voice and figure were nowhere to be found.

"Where’s the master? Why did the master leave? How do I get back without the master? Master! Master!" The Vine Emperor cried out in a panic, but Dugu Qianye was already too far away to hear. Even if she did hear, she would not have paid any attention.

Meanwhile, Ci Hun was speeding through the air with Zi Xiao.

"I say, you’re finally willing to go back and lift the seal!" Ci Hun yelled excitedly. "I’m finally about to regain my power, hahaha!"

Zi Xiao glanced at Ci Hun with disdain and said, "Are you sure it’s not because you’ve been spending your time on those big-chested but brainless women that your power hasn’t increased?"

Uh—

Ci Hun was left speechless. Fine, although its power had decreased due to the seal, it could have improved its strength with proper cultivation. At the very least, it wouldn’t have needed a woman to save it in the Spirit Void Secret Realm!

Zi Xiao didn’t bother with Ci Hun anymore and asked, "Where is he now?"

"Yunling Continent. He’s preparing to head this way," Xiu Luo, invisible in the air, replied.

"Ci Hun, let’s head over," Zi Xiao instructed.

"Sure thing!" Ci Hun roared into the air and, as they sped forward, their figures vanished as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Within a palace on Yunling Continent, Lu Yuanhong was cultivating in his room when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, which pulled him out of his meditative state. Touching his chest, he thought of something and took out Lu Yuanshuang’s Life Token to find it had shattered into several pieces.

"Sister!"

Lu Yuanhong placed the Life Token against his forehead, closed his eyes, and solemnly muttered a few words. A golden light sprang from the Life Token and entered his forehead.

"...Brother, avenge me!" The scene of Lu Yuanshuang’s death before her last breath unfolded in his mind. Seeing the final state of his sister and hearing her last wish for vengeance, Lu Yuanhong stored the Life Token and left the palace.

"General," the palace guard saluted as Lu Yuanhong came out.

"I’m stepping out for a bit. If the Heavenly Venerable has any messages, wait for my return to inform me," Lu Yuanhong instructed.

"Yes, General."

Lu Yuanhong summoned his Spiritual Beast and rode it towards the Continent’s gateway. As he approached, he suddenly sensed something, stopped, and looked around vigilantly.

"Who’s there? Come out!" he shouted sternly.

No one responded, but that did not cause him to lower his guard.

After a short while, a figure in purple clothes, riding a Kylin, appeared before him and watched him with a sinister smile. There were two people in black clothes flanking him.

"You move really slowly!" Zi Xiao said.

"Who are you?" Lu Yuanhong, on guard, asked the group.

"Who are we? Xiu Luo, tell him who we are," Zi Xiao said, petting Ci Hun’s fur.

Xiu Luo glanced at Lu Yuanhong and spoke coldly, "We’re here to kill you!" After saying this, he unleashed a wave of Spiritual Power and attacked Lu Yuanhong. Before Lu Yuanhong could even react, he was blasted to bits. After bullying the Dugu Clan so ruthlessly in the past, now he was so easily...

Zi Xiao watched Xiu Luo make his move and said with a smile, "Not bad, Xiu Luo. Your movements are still as clean and sharp as ever, and your strength has improved significantly!"

"I thank the Lord for the praise!"

Xiu Luo received the praise with a straight face and serious expression, which left Zi Xiao at a loss for words. He added, "And your skin is as thick as ever."

"That’s what you get for spending too much time with the Lord," Xiu Luo said nonchalantly, which prompted Zi Xiao to kick at him. However, Xiu Luo had already left his original spot before Zi Xiao’s foot even moved.

"Hahaha, thought you’d have fun with the seals, huh? Now you can’t even beat Xiu Luo, hahaha, serves you right!" Ci Hun laughed heartily upon seeing Zi Xiao miss his kick at Xiu Luo.

Zi Xiao squinted at Ci Hun and, while stroking its fur, said, "Ci Hun, do you realize the foolish thing you’ve done, hmm?"

Upon hearing Zi Xiao’s words, Ci Hun’s laughter stopped abruptly, and it asked nervously, "What...what foolish thing?"

"It’s—," Zi Xiao responded, his hand that was petting its fur now firmly gripping its neck, "laughing at me while riding on your back!"

"Cough cough, master, master, it’s not like that, I was not laughing at you, really, I wasn’t laughing at you, I was laughing at Xiu Luo being naughty, definitely going to be bullied by you, I really wasn’t laughing at you!" Ci Hun’s laughter turned into loud cries as Zi Xiao gripped its neck tightly.

Their comical appearance made Xiu Luo and Xiu Cha involuntarily curve their lips into smiles.

"Wow, what a merry scene to walk in on!" The voice of Qie Yue suddenly came.

Xiu Luo and Xiu Cha looked in that direction and saw Qie Yue, Hei Zi, and a figure clad in black suddenly appear.

Zi Xiao was still gripping Ci Hun tightly as he turned to look at Qie Yue and Hei Zi, saying, "You finally decided to come back?"

Qie Yue immediately threw herself at Zi Xiao, crying out loud, "Boss, I’ve missed you so much, I’ve lost all appetite over you, you have no idea! I haven’t come for so long, it was all for your sake! You don’t know how much I’ve been missing you!"

"What does it mean ’for the sake of the Lord’?" Xiu Cha asked, moving next to Hei Zi.

"Because he couldn’t help wanting to mess things up after seeing the boss chase after Qianye," Hei Zi replied succinctly.

"Pfft—" This time, Xiu Luo and Xiu Cha couldn’t help but burst into laughter when they looked at Qie Yue pretending to cry their hearts out, giving her a thumbs up.

Zi Xiao looked at the insincere Qie Yue, stopped strangling Ci Hun and said, "You think I don’t know what’s on your mind? The materials for lifting the seal have already been prepared by them, so let’s get ready to head back."

Qie Yue exchanged glances with Ci Hun while Zi Xiao was talking to them.

Brother, what do you say, am I a good friend or what?! Absolutely rescuing you from dire straits!

Not bad, really good brother, I’ll treat you to flower wine later!

It’s not the same kind as last time, is it?

No way, this time I’ll definitely find you a beauty when we go back!

"Hey, how long are you two going to make googly eyes at each other? Do you want us to leave first to avoid interrupting your moment?" Zi Xiao’s words brought the two back to reality, who then looked up and realized everyone was looking at them.

Qie Yue quickly stood up, grinned and said, "What googly eyes? We’ve been separated for so long, we’re just sharing our longing for each other, understand?"
