Chapter 524: A Peck

“Can’t you just use your own initiative? Your brother is about to ascend, and you should actively wake up those quasi-emperor level old folks inside you to surround and kill him. If you manage to take out a bunch of them, do I really need to remind you about this?”

Dark Yaner was taken aback.

Lu Ye also frowned.

Yeah, asking you to submit and recognize the master was about getting you to do your job.

It wasn’t about you prancing around in front of me every day, messing with my mind.

Dark Yaner realized she had to leave.

She quickly stated, “Sister is right, I will wake up those quasi-emperors right away. But about Nine Lives…”

Shen Xitang was furious.

“Who told you to call him brother?”

Dark Yaner shrank her neck, “I saw sister call him that, so I thought I could too.”

“You’re not allowed to call him that!”

Shen Xitang immediately blocked Lu Ye, her eyes sharp as swords, glaring at Dark Yaner.

“If calling him brother is wrong, then can I call him Master?”

Shen Xitang’s anger intensified.

Master?

You dare to seduce my host right in front of me?

“And what do you think?”

Shen Xitang’s voice shot up higher.

“Then I will just call him Nine Lives. Sister, don’t be mad, I know Nine Lives is yours, I never meant to compete with you.” Dark Yaner spoke softly.

“You better know that, brother is mine!”

If Dark Yaner were just an ordinary girl, Shen Xitang might not be this angry.

It wouldn’t be such a fierce standoff.

The problem is, this is Darkness Origin.

It’s something similar to her, especially since in her previous life, after becoming Heavenly Dao, Darkness Origin kept causing trouble, trying to take her place.

In the last life, it wanted to replace her, and in this life, it’s trying to grab her host. Isn’t that just trying to take her place again?

Shen Xitang’s desire to fight and protect surged.

“Sister, I get it. I’ll leave right away to wake the quasi-emperors. But may I ask how many quasi-emperors need to be awakened to ensure complete annihilation?”

Lu Ye estimated the number he’d shaken up.

“Nine, anymore and the battle will escalate in intensity. Let’s take it step by step.”

“Alright, I’m off then. Goodbye Nine Lives, goodbye sister, goodbye Little Heavenly Dao, goodbye Stone Sword, goodbye Emperor’s Banner, goodbye Tree of Enlightenment…”

Dark Yaner said her farewells one by one.

Then her figure disappeared.

Shen Xitang scoffed.

She turned back to Lu Ye.

“Ding, host, did you see the wolfish ambition of Darkness Origin?”

Lu Ye smiled without responding.

Shen Xitang took a deep breath.

“Ding, brother!”

Lu Ye’s smile bloomed as he nodded in satisfaction.

“I see it; she’s vying for affection.”

After leaving Shangguan Huanling, Lu Ye’s intelligence skyrocketed.

Many things became clear, including realizing that Darkness Origin was vying for affection.

“Ding, exactly, she’s trying to undermine my status in brother’s heart, so be careful.”

Lu Ye nodded.

“Okay, I’ll keep my guard up.”

Although Lu Ye’s agreement was prompt, Shen Xitang still felt uneasy.

But what could she do?

Shen Xitang pondered for a moment.

Soon, her eyes lit up.

Little Heavenly Dao received a notice from Shen Xitang and immediately charged towards Lu Ye.

It was truly an all-out rush.

Lu Ye instinctively embraced Little Heavenly Dao, who then landed a peck right on Lu Ye’s cheek.

“Ding, host, you must be good!”

Lu Ye was stunned.

Huh?

“Ding, sister said, this is a little incentive for you. If you behave and listen to sister, next time I will also give you a peck on the cheek.”

Shen Xitang was momentarily stunned, then her cheeks burned red as she hurriedly picked up Little Heavenly Dao.

“I didn’t say that! Don’t listen to her… I need to go back now!”

Shen Xitang, unparalleled, pulled Little Heavenly Dao and instantly disappeared from Lu Ye’s presence.

Lu Ye…

Why did he suddenly feel a bit shy?

Come on, bros, what’s wrong with a little peck?

Lu Ye couldn’t help but touch the spot where Little Heavenly Dao had pecked, and in the end, he couldn’t hold back from showing a silly grin like a proud father.

Just like that, Little Heavenly Dao secured her position, claiming that saints couldn’t touch her.

Little Heavenly Dao was pulled back to the heavenly palace by Shen Xitang.

Her cheeks still flushed.

She glared hard at Little Heavenly Dao.

“Ding, you little brat, when did I say that as long as my dog host behaves well, I’d peck him too?”

“Ding, sister, did I say something wrong?”

Little Heavenly Dao looked up innocently.

“Of course you did! I’m a system, not a woman. If you dare peck the dog host today, you’ll get hit with a double whammy tomorrow. I don’t want that!”

Little Heavenly Dao’s eyes were filled with confusion.

What’s a double whammy?

Is it scary?

From what her sister said, it seemed pretty terrifying.

“Ding, if I pecked the host, would I get hit with a double whammy next?” Little Heavenly Dao asked curiously.

“Ding, you’re different, you’re special.”

Little Heavenly Dao’s call of “daddy” completely cemented her position as a daughter, so she wouldn’t face a double whammy.

Of course, if Lu Ye transformed into a beast, that might be a different story.

As soon as Little Heavenly Dao heard this, she instantly became unhappy.

“Ding, no, no, I want to be like sister! I also want a double whammy!”

Shen Xitang’s eyelids twitched violently.

What to do with a mischievous child?

Simple, just give them a good whacking.

So Shen Xitang grabbed Little Heavenly Dao, plopped her on her lap, and her hand was already raised.

“Smack, smack, smack…”

“Awooo, I’m going to fight you!”

“Smack, smack, smack…”

After a round of fierce battle, it ultimately ended with Little Heavenly Dao being swollen.

But Little Heavenly Dao was extremely unconvinced.

“Ding, host, I want a double whammy… Waaa…”

Lu Ye????

What?

Double whammy?

Lu Ye was puzzled and didn’t dwell on it further, continuing his cultivation.

His constitution underwent another transformation, becoming even more formidable.

In the void, countless energies surged towards him like mighty dragons.

At this point, Lu Ye finally felt the benefits of his powerful physique.

Turns out, many constitutions allow for incredibly fast cultivation, even without abundant resources.

Because in the void, within the starry skies, amidst the chaos, and throughout the heavens and earth, resources were everywhere.

His cultivation thrived without restraint.

Inside him resided a world, and the benefits kept increasing.

Perhaps, the distance to ascend to the Seventh Heaven was no longer very far.
