Meanwhile,
"Xiao Xue, once I've cultivated to the Martial Ancestor realm, I'll go to the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect and marry you!" Lu Piao said, his eyes brimming with tears as he gazed at Xiao Xue.
"Get lost! By the time you cultivate to the Martial Ancestor realm, I'll be an old woman already!" Xiao Xue grabbed Lu Piao by the ear and snorted. "Lu Piao, are you not planning to marry me at all?"
"Ow ow ow, Xiao Xue, let go quick! How could I dare not?" Lu Piao hurriedly said.
"Lu Piao, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm the one forcing you to marry me? You'd better explain yourself!" Xiao Xue planted one hand on her hip and tugged at Lu Piao's ear.
Lu Piao could only stand on tiptoe and blurt out, "It was my idea. No, no—I proposed it myself. Xiao Xue, I will definitely marry you!"
"Lu Piao, you listen to me carefully. While I'm gone, if you go looking for other women, you'd better watch out—when I come back, I'll cripple you!" Xiao Xue shot a cold glance at Lu Piao's crotch, snorted, and then walked toward
After Xiao Xue left, Lu Piao still felt a chill down there. He looked at Nie Li with a bitter expression. They were both men—so why was there such a difference? During farewells, Nie Li got to hug and embrace both
Nie Li raised his head, wanting to ask Xiao Ning'er something, but he saw that Ling Yun had already taken Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and Xiao Xue up into the air.
Nie Li could still see the reluctant expressions on the two young women's faces, their eyes glistening with tears.
"Goodbye. Once I get to the Dragon Ruins Domain, I'll come find you," Nie Li called out, waving goodbye as he watched Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and Xiao Xue disappear into the vortex. Two girls bound to his fate vanished at the vortex's end, and Nie Li couldn't help but feel a pang of loss.
So these two girls already held such an important place in his heart.
A group had left.
"Mm." Nie Li patted Du Ze on the shoulder and smiled. "Good brother—see you in the Dragon Ruins Domain!"
"Deal!" Du Ze nodded and said solemnly. In his heart, Nie Li was his most important brother. That would never change.
Just as Du Ze and Nie Li were chatting, Huahuo walked over from nearby. She wore a form-fitting red robe with a high collar, and one could faintly see her long, slender, pale legs taut with strength—an aesthetic of power. Her tall figure was the kind you couldn't look away from once you saw. Her appearance was unquestionably beautiful, with drooping violet-red ears that gave her the unique charm of an exotic girl.
She walked up to Du Ze and extended her right hand. "Hi, I'm Huahuo. We'll be fellow disciples from now on, so please look after me."
Du Ze stared at Huahuo for a moment, slightly dazed. Though they were practically strangers, seeing how sincere she looked, he reached out and shook her hand. "Please look after me too!"
"Let's go," Huahuo said with a bright smile, then turned and walked away.
Du Ze stood there frozen, still at a loss. Lu Piao, seeing this from the side, walked over and kicked Du Ze in the rear. "You idiot, hurry up and follow her!" Lu Piao was exasperated. Such a beautiful girl had come up to greet him, and Du Ze just stood there like a blockhead.
Du Ze hesitated for a moment, then waved at Nie Li. "Nie Li, I'm heading out first!" He quickened his pace and caught up.
Du Ze was gone as well.
Separately,
Du Ze and the others had all gone. Only Nie Li, Lu Piao, the Goddess Yuyan, and
The Demon Lord's gaze fell on Nie Li and the others, a flash of cold, sinister light passing through his eyes. Ever since he had entered the Black Prison World as a youth and come out, this was the only time he had been wounded by another. If not for the protective treasure armor he wore, and if he hadn't used a special method to conceal his true body, he would likely have died at Nie Li's hands.
Whoever had hurt him would be torn to shreds!
Seeing the Demon Lord, rage blazed in Nie Li's heart. Veins bulged across his body, and a fury he could barely contain surged through him. Facing the one responsible for attempting to kill the Demon Lord, Nie Li wished he could cut him down with his own hands right then and there. But he remembered what the Nether Domain's Master had said—once he made a move against the Demon Lord, he would only be doing the Demon Lord a favor.
With Nie Li's current strength, there was absolutely no way he could contend with the Demon Lord's master.
