News came again that the demons from the Western Sect planned to capture the Human Race extensively from the small worlds outside the main world, intending to send them to the main world and prepare to sacrifice a batch of creatures at regular intervals, to maintain the Asura’s presence on the surface and attempt to summon more Asura.

The Human Emperor had already prepared to send people to fully intercept this.

Li Ping’an found himself with an additional task—using the influence of the Misty Realm to disrupt the Western Sect demons’ vile schemes as much as possible.

The Alliance Hierarch of the East had yet to show up, but Li Ping’an was not in a hurry; these past two days, he had been inseparable from Ningning Mu, cultivating together in mutual delight, which was rather comforting.

One afternoon, the two took a nap on their bamboo bed.

Li Ping’an, dressed only in his undergarment, was holding a scroll of scriptures;

Ningning Mu in a light gauze dress snuggled beside him, gracefully picking fresh fruits, meticulously peeling them, and bringing them to Li Ping’an’s lips.

The couple rarely enjoyed such tranquility, occasionally chatting idly about the Heavens, somehow ending up talking about Zi Yao Xianzi.

“Senior Brother, how have you been getting along with Zi Yao?”

Ningning Mu’s eyes sparkled with laughter.

Li Ping’an replied indifferently, “How could I get along?

We haven’t really made contact.”

“Then do you think I should assert the dignity of the principal wife?”

Ningning Mu propped herself up, assumed a dignified and elegant pose, and acted with mock seriousness:

“Sister has worked hard in her cultivation, come over and have some tea to warm up.”

Then she burst into laughter, as if a breeze swept across her face, making flowers bloom in her wake, collapsing beside Li Ping’an in delight.

Li Ping’an clicked his tongue, “Is this what you’ve learned in the Holy Mother Palace?”

“There’s much more, all taught to me by a few old seniors.”

Ningning Mu batted her peach blossom-like eyes and said softly:

“Anyway, I’m not afraid of the Queen Mother.

If I am bullied later on, at worst I can come to you and have a good cry.

“Senior Brother, assign me a celestial position too.

It’s quite dull to always cultivate at home.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Li Ping’an put down the scriptures, embraced her slender waist, and seriously considered for a while, then sniffed the subtle scent on her fair neck.

“It’s about time for dinner, let’s eat.”

“Hm?

Dinner?”

Ningning Mu was puzzled for a moment when suddenly Li Ping’an pulled her into his embrace, and before she could let out a soft cry, she lost the chance to speak.

A formation was cast, barriers intertwined in action.

After the beauty’s hairpins were askew and she was left panting and dazed, Li Ping’an remarked, “My lady is a feast for the eyes,” stirring her affection deep and directionless, and they were both submerged in it, gradually losing themselves.

The Dao Charm of the Red Embroidered Ball surged once more.

Naturally, giving not even a glimpse to a certain Great Power holding the Kunlun Divine Mirror.

…

“Ah, my disciple, the Heavenly Emperor, must certainly be striving with earnest effort now, deliberating how to save the creatures of the Hundred Tribes, and rescue more innocent lives.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed, looking at the Jade Talisman in his hand, somewhat lost in thought.

He was standing in the tower at the north city gate of the westernmost city of the three, looking out to see continuous mountains, as well as surging demon qi in the direction of the sacred mountain.

Wisp upon wisp of blue smoke rose from the burning demon corpses outside the city.

Xuanyuan Huangdi spoke softly,

“Fenghou, do you think we rely too much on a young person?

I always feel that I owe Li Ping’an.”

Fenghou pondered by his side for a moment, bowed with hands clasped, and said, “Your Majesty, the idea of granting him a marriage also seems a bit inappropriate now.

His reputation among the Hundred Clans is even higher than yours.”

“That’s true, I have chopped the heads of who knows how many experts from the Hundred Clans.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi snorted a laugh and then fell into a dilemma.

He spoke softly,

“Fenghou, you also know that Lady Ba’s situation is somewhat special.

“She has been stubbornly holding on, even if her ancient wounds heal, this path will inevitably lead to loss of control one day.

“Back then, to win that bitter battle, this child threw herself into Severing Heaven Cliff, forcibly merged with the Calamity Dao, and turned herself into a calamity.

“This is the pain of my life, and I do not know how to make amends, but if…

heh.

“Li Ping’an should be able to help her, isn’t Heavenly Dao supposed to integrate all aspects of The Great Dao?

Taking her Calamity Dao would be just right, wouldn’t it?

The operation of Heavenly Dao is not only about bestowing blessings upon creatures but also about bringing calamities.”

Fenghou slowly nodded and bowed, saying, “If that is the case, Lady Ba would be more suitable as a Minister to the Heavenly Emperor; regarding becoming his Dao companion, it might not be too appropriate to add more.”

“Hmm?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi glared at Fenghou.

Fenghou hastily continued, “Your servant didn’t mean to challenge your views.

Right now, you are sworn brothers with the Heavenly Emperor; if…

that would be extremely inappropriate, we must not abandon the rules, especially since Heavenly Emperor is still establishing the rites of heaven and earth.”

“Alright, alright.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi waved his hand, picked up a Jade Talisman, and wrote a few lines, muttering,

“My child, I am aware of your worries, the additional treasures given to Li Ping’an are to be used for the construction of the Self-moving Immortal Armor in the Heavenly Court.

“The Self-moving Immortal Armor, when combined with the Heavenly Dao’s merits, can unfold surprisingly powerful combat capabilities and alter the tide in local battlefields.

“Lately, you must visit Dong’an City personally to seek Li Ping’an.

Remember to preserve proper etiquette and do not wear your old woman disguise; return to your radiant and youthful divine body.

Your mother will go there to help you dress.

“The position by the side of Heavenly Emperor is key to the maneuvers of heaven and earth; currently, the Human Race has only Li Mu’s daughter, Ningning Mu, alone and vulnerable.

Queen Mother watches eagerly, the Hundred Clans’ powerhouses are all eyeing us, and the Dragon Clan is preparing to hatch eggs to raise a dragon girl to serve the Heavenly Emperor.

“If my child favors what she sees, she may pursue; if not delighted, there’s no need to force it.”

Fenghou frowned and said from the side, “Your Majesty, using Lady Ba’s sense of duty towards the Human Race like this is really a bit…”

“What do you know,” Xuanyuan Huangdi huffed, “Is there any better match out there than the Heavenly Emperor?

If your family had an old maid who hadn’t married, I’d see if you aren’t anxious!”

“But you can’t just exploit the righteous cause of the Human Race to coerce her; this will affect your shining reputation if it spreads.”

Fenghou pondered a bit and offered some revisions.

Xuanyuan Huangdi thought it over carefully, took out a Jade Talisman, and rewrote it, but a quiet sigh escaped his heart.

When had he, on one matter, beat around the bush so many times?

Li Ping’an was always playing the fool!

Surrounded by so many women, what’s wrong with taking care of Lady Ba!

Xuanyuan had his own unspeakable difficulties.

Once the war in the Western Continent ends, the eastern alliance will be disbanded, and Lady Ba will no longer have tasks to tend to; the ancient enemies of the Human Race will be gone.

If the tension in the heart of Lady Ba loosens, she would easily break down and become the true calamity spirit Drought Demon; only the New Heavenly Court and Heavenly Dao can help her.

Xuanyuan Huangdi could nearly foresee this happening.

He had to distract Lady Ba with other matters, keep her constantly moving toward a certain goal, even if that goal was somewhat absurd.

“Ah, this is difficult.”
