Li Xiaonan was suddenly struck by a powerful blow, leaving him dazed and buried in rubble.
When Straightforward picked him up and cradled him in his hands, he still had a shard of glazed tile clenched in his mouth. "Ah! Spit! Where did that crazy woman come from?"
He sniffed, brushed off the dust from Spirit Armor, and checked his body, surprisingly finding no bruises or cuts at all!
Li Xiaonan pouted, pondering: Is Spirit Armor's protection really that impressive? The Martial Soul Technique is indeed a remarkable skill.
He tugged at Straightforward's clothing and climbed onto his shoulder, shielding his forehead with one hand as he scanned the surroundings.
Straightforward carefully protected him, worried that he might accidentally fall.
Fluffy white clouds floated in the azure sky, slowly coalescing into a giant, beautiful face.
"Wow! What kind of divine ability is this? So impressive!"
"It's just the Thousand-Mile Transmission Illusion Technique, but judging from the way she struck you earlier, this woman is not simple," Spirit Weapon said, pinching Li Xiaonan and placing him on its shoulder. "If you keep running around, I'll swallow you whole!"
Li Xiaonan shrank his head back and chuckled foolishly. "Father-in-law, look! A powerful person has arrived. Aren't you going to prepare? It's even less safe around you now. I feel safer with Xiao Zhi."
Spirit Weapon frowned slightly but nodded, then pinched his collar and handed him back to Straightforward. "This works too!"
Li Xiaonan muttered to himself: Being small is such a disadvantage! I get tossed around like this! I wonder if this Yuan Ying entity can grow.
Otherwise, wouldn't my own happiness be ruined? Just imagine a 0.5 lead core shoved into a 0.7 mechanical pencil—what a tragic existence that would be.
He sniffed again, feeling a refreshing sensation like mint surge into his mind, quite pleasant. The green grass on the Spirit Platform stirred slightly; the newly sprouted shoots seemed to push upward a bit more, growing taller.
Strange? The grass next to Father-in-law didn’t show any signs of movement earlier! Could it be because I was near Qing An?
He turned his head and looked at Qing An's beautiful profile, swallowing hard. "I'll go take a look around among the wives."
Li Xiaonan, with her short legs, kicked off the ground, ready to fly away, but was caught by Qing An with one hand. "Your situation is dangerous; it's better not to run around."
"I'm not running around! I'm looking for the Wives! Let me go!" Her little hands waved frantically, and her cute appearance truly made her adorable. Qing An's face flushed as she flew off the rooftop.
"Wives! I'm here!" Li Xiaonan darted around like an eel, kissing one cheek here and touching a breast there, enjoying herself thoroughly.
The girls, who had initially been frowning, were also amused by her antics.
There’s always a way out of despair, especially since Li Xiaonan firmly believed in a saying: fortune hides within misfortune, and misfortune leans on fortune. Although she had been a bit unlucky lately, it didn’t mean she would be unlucky forever.
After making a round, Li Xiaonan finally plopped down on Qing An's shoulder.
Damn! It turns out that only by making contact with Qing An could the thoughts in my head flourish; it’s truly strange!
This growth should symbolize Mental Power, likely existing in the same realm as Yuan Ying. Aside from my constant sleeping before, it had grown while I remained mostly stagnant.
Just as he was lost in thought, Nine Phoenix, Dai Lizi, and An Quan Tao simultaneously broke away from their battle and flew over. "Boss!"
Li Xiaonan frowned, hands on her hips, pointing at the three in front of her while scolding them. "You haven't finished fighting yet! Why are you flying back? Hurry up and deal with them before that crazy woman arrives!"
A gust of wind rushed by, nearly blowing Li Xiaonan away. Fortunately, Qing An acted quickly and steadied her with one hand.
"Who dares to harm anyone from Crimson Cloud Sect!" A cold female voice rang out; it sounded like a girl with no experience—no! It should be a young woman!
The newcomer had slightly sharp features and wore a red robe with an ornate crown atop her head. No matter how you looked at it, she resembled an Eastern girl who had undergone self-castration.
"Damn it! How did this woman arrive so quickly? Who is she?!"
Ling Xingyao unconsciously frowned and said, "She just referred to Hong Ci as 'my son'..."
"Uh..." Li Xiaonan felt overwhelmed. Hong Ci was the son of the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, so the person who had arrived must be none other than Hong Fang, the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect.
He let out a groan, "The leader has come out; how can we continue this fight?"
At this point, it was indeed difficult to proceed. Fighting against a sect leader would mean offending an entire sect!
In the past, Li Xiaonan had the Outer Academy backing him, but now he only had a newly established Martial Soul Sect that was as fragile as a newborn. How could he compete?
Yet, not fighting wasn't realistic either, considering both sides had already suffered heavy losses. One side had lost a Scattered Immortal, while the other had their leader severely injured.
Although Li Xiaonan's loss of Flesh was due to a major blunder with a Spirit Weapon, it was still instigated by the Crimson Cloud Sect.
"Boss, what should we do now?" An Quan Tao, the most perceptive among them, immediately recognized the awkwardness of the situation.
Li Xiaonan angrily stepped on Qing An's head and said irritably, "What else can we do? Keep fighting! Anyway, with Father-in-law here, let's take down their leader first. We've already made enemies today; there's no turning back."
Ming Ruoyun tightly clenched her fists and softly said, "Benefactor, I'm sorry. It's all because of me... If I hadn't been so willful, this wouldn't have happened..." Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes as she spoke.
Seeing this, Ling Xingyao felt a pang of sympathy and pulled her into his embrace.
"It has nothing to do with you. We are on different paths; they have already offended me by trying to extend their reach into Qingyu City. It was only a matter of time before we clashed. From now on, you will be my person just like Ling Xingyao! We are family and won't speak as strangers!"
Though he no longer possessed Flesh at this moment, his aura was even more imposing than before, and his words carried great conviction.
Everyone nodded in agreement as the Spirit Weapon soared into the air, transforming into a green dragon that circled around them steadily. Its large eyes glared fiercely at the four opponents.
"Father, you're here!" Hong Ci exclaimed joyfully, forgetting even to bow in greeting.
Li Xiaonan slipped and fell directly onto Qing An's shoulder.
No way! This guy is a male!
Everyone quickly turned to Ming Ruoyun, who looked slightly embarrassed and said lightly, "The leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, Hong Fang, is a man."
The crowd staggered in unison, even the Spirit Weapon seemed to struggle to maintain its form.
Li Xiaonan shouted, "Who cares if he's a man or a woman! Let's go beat him up!"
The crowd grabbed their Destined Artifacts, ready to put on a show of collective violence.
On the opposite side, Hong Yu exclaimed fiercely, "What brings the leader here? Does the Crimson Cloud Sect no longer need anyone to manage it?" His tone was strong, clearly dismissing Hong Fang's authority as the leader.
In terms of cultivation, both were at the Great Ascension stage, with Hong Yu slightly stronger. In terms of seniority, Hong Yu was Hong Fang's senior brother, being a generation older. However, in terms of status, Hong Fang was the leader while Hong Yu was merely an elder.
Ultimately, Hong Fang was still older than Hong Yu.
Li Xiaonan moved behind Ming Ruoyun and whispered, "It seems your leader doesn't have much authority..."
"That's because—"
Hong Ci suddenly shot a glare at Ming Ruoyun, causing her to stop mid-sentence and not continue.
Li Xiaonan pouted, thinking to himself that this guy was overly protective of his father; did he have to be so sensitive?
He swayed back to perch on Qing An's head. He realized that staying on top of his head allowed little green grass to grow faster than on his shoulder, so he decided to make his nest there from now on.
The other girls were also puzzled about how Li Xiaonan suddenly became so close with Qing An and couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.
Li Xiaonan pretended not to notice anything, his eyes fixed intently on Hong Fang and his son.
Hong Fang frowned slightly. "I sensed that Ci'er was in danger, so I came to check."
A glance from him was so charming it seemed to drip with allure, making Li Xiaonan feel a chill run down his spine, as if he were shedding flakes of skin like Qing An.
Hong Fang's gaze felt familiar to him because Qing An had looked at him that way once before.
There was definitely something off about this father and son duo!
Hong Yu furrowed his brow. "Are you involved with Hong Ci and Obedient Dragon II again? Otherwise, how could you sense anything?"
What the hell, Obedient Dragon II! Male-male Obedient Dragon II! And they were father and son! This was true love for sure!
Li Xiaonan cleared his throat and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey! Stop chatting and get on with the fight!"
At that moment, the group from Crimson Cloud Sect deliberately changed the subject. The reason was simple: they didn't want to fight at all. With a Third-Stage Loose Immortal already taken down, though not the strongest in their sect, it was still among the top ten. Continuing the battle would only bring misfortune to Crimson Cloud Sect.
Who would have thought that reclaiming a small earthly empire would come at such a painful cost?
Hong Yu's reproach towards Hong Fang wasn't without reason. As the leader of a sect, how could he put himself in danger? If anything happened to him, wouldn't Crimson Cloud Sect be left without a leader?
Hong Fang's gaze darted, his pupils constricting in shock!
Yuan Ying! And it was a corporeal Yuan Ying! If he could capture it and use secret techniques to refine it, both he and Ci'er would surely elevate their cultivation levels. At that point, they wouldn't have to care about those others' opinions; they could do whatever they wanted!
Not fighting? No way! Even if it meant getting injured, he had to seize that Yuan Ying!
After casting a glance at Li Xiaonan, he lowered his head. Thus, Li Xiaonan remained oblivious to the greed in his eyes, still sitting dazed atop Qing An.
Hong Fang suddenly raised his head and coldly said, "You killed Elder Muzi from my faction; this debt has yet to be settled!" With a flash of his figure, he actively engaged with the Spirit Weapon.
The Spirit Weapon was taken aback; this creature shouldn't be as powerful as a Third-Stage Loose Immortal, yet the aura emanating from him faintly rivaled that of a Celestial Being. It seemed he was also a prodigy with exceptional Flesh. Perhaps it would be wise to capture him and use Xiao Nan's Yuan Ying to redeem some of his own sins!
With this thought in mind, he made up his mind and decided not to act as ruthlessly as before.
Li Xiaonan bounced on top of Qing An's head and exclaimed, "You all go! Why are you just standing there? Fight! Take down his whole family!" He looked like a little hothead.
The others seemed inspired by him, finally picking up their weapons and charging forward. Everyone except Qing An stayed behind, including Mei Yingluo, who rushed into the fray.
Such a combat scene was naturally unsuitable for the underage Li Dogdan to watch, so arrangements had been made early on for a young eunuch to take him to the kitchen for food. Meanwhile, Qing Yu Year had just begun cultivating and couldn't even fly yet, so he found a corner to observe and take notes.
Li Xiaonan nodded in satisfaction, plopping down on Qing An's head and grabbing two tufts of hair as if piloting a fighter jet. "Fly straight over there."
Qing An remained still and replied calmly, "You can still call me Qing An."
"Forget that!"
It was just a name; he didn't care. "Alright! Qing An, let's go!"
He tugged at the hair with his right hand, pushing forward as Qing An smiled and flew toward Hong Ci.
Out of the corner of his eye, Hong Fang felt delighted; he hadn't expected this exceptional Yuan Ying to come right to him!
