Chapter 2410: Chapter 2409: Daring to Discipline My Niece
Long Fei met with all the juniors, then returned alone with Lin Yingying to his own bamboo forest cottage.
After he left, Lin Shanshan immediately knocked on Zhang Xian’er’s head, laughing coquettishly, "You little girl, your guts are way too big. Is that how you talk to your dad?"
Zhang Xian’er rubbed her head, wrinkled her nose and said, "So what? I see he’s just at the Celestial Venerate Realm. I was even thinking of beating him up! He hasn’t come back for so many years, and the moment he does he brings a woman with him."
She unhappily glanced at Asu, who was leisurely sitting in the pavilion not far away.
Lin Shanshan was also sizing up Asu, as if she’d seen her somewhere before.
She walked over to Hua Qianmo’s side and quietly transmitted her voice to Hua Qianmo.
Hua Qianmo also recalled something and cried out in surprise, "Could she be that Witch we fought in the decisive battle against the Demon Race twenty thousand years ago?"
"It’s definitely her!"
The sisters around her all confirmed together.
Asu sat in the pavilion, her eyes narrowing upward. She raised her teacup toward them with a smile, gesturing in greeting.
Zhang Xian’er shouted in anger, "Too much! A mere Witch dares to be so impudent here? I’m going to teach her a lesson!"
Lin Shanshan grabbed her arm and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Calm down first. Who knows what relationship she has with your dad. If you offend her and your dad blames you, he’ll tan your hide."
Zhang Xian’er said gloomily, "I’m not afraid of him. All these years, he hasn’t taken care of me for a single day. Why should I call him dad?"
She took a step forward, pointed at Asu in the pavilion, and gave a crisp shout, "Witch, come out and die!"
A group of disciples had originally been preparing to set up a feast to welcome Long Fei back, but Zhang Xian’er’s shout made them all stop in their tracks.
Lin Shanshan quickly waved her hand. "You all go on with what you’re doing, don’t mind us here."
The disciples looked at each other, then all nodded and continued with their tasks.
The four Little Kirin, afraid Zhang Xian’er would be bullied, led a bunch of little brothers over to back her up.
Even the gentle-as-water Ji Shuiling went up, afraid this Witch might hurt Zhang Xian’er.
Asu fixed her eyes on Zhang Xian’er, still smiling as she said, "As expected of the daughter of Long Fei and Zhang Ziling, your bloodline is truly extraordinary. Seeing you makes me want to ask your daddy for a daughter of my own."
Zhang Xian’er and Ji Shuiling both flushed at the same time. They drew their swords at Asu in exasperation and said, "Shameless."
Asu looked completely unconcerned. "You should say that to your daddy. I originally didn’t want to come; he was the one who forcibly abducted me here. Look, he even branded a Spiritual Imprint in my Divine Sea, just like some bandit."
She spoke with such grievance, as if she were the victim.
But the women in front of her didn’t know she had almost taken Long Fei’s life.
"I’ll kill you first, then go settle the score with him!"
Zhang Xian’er lifted her sword hand, and the longsword on her body flew out, transforming into nine streaks of Sword Qi in midair, shooting rapidly toward Asu.
Asu shook her head. "You little girl, so rude and unruly. I’ll have your daddy give you a good lesson."
She extended her jade-like hand and tapped forward.
A black vortex rose up in the Void, and in an instant swallowed all nine of Zhang Xian’er’s swords.
"Spatial Law?"
All the women were startled and hastily drew their Magical Weapons.
Once the Kunwu Nine Swords appeared, the killing intent in the field instantly surged by thirty percent.
After Zhang Xian’er’s longsword entered the Spatial Vortex, it suddenly stabbed out from Zhang Xian’er’s back.
Zhang Xian’er broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly severed her spiritual power connection, making the nine swords thud, thud, thud into the ground.
Asu cried out smugly, "This move is Zodiacal Skyshift. Your daddy knows it too—learn it from him properly in the future..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw a huge object descend over her body.
Caught off guard, she had already entered a small world.
Inside, everything was a blazing gold-red, with an extremely high temperature.
She activated the Spatial Law, intending to break through the sky and escape from within.
Who would have thought this thing could isolate the Void itself, making the Spatial Law completely useless.
Asu had thought she could dominate the crowd here, but hadn’t expected someone to suddenly make a move on her.
She shouted in frustration, "What kind of skill is a sneak attack? If you’ve got guts, fight me fair and square!"
From outside came Lin Shanshan’s voice. "My niece is my own to discipline. I don’t need an outsider like you pointing fingers here. You stay put in there—I’ll see just how strong you Demon Race people’s bloodlines really are."
As soon as she finished speaking, this world spewed up surging Volcanic Magma, completely engulfing Asu.
Asu naturally wasn’t afraid of this; she just couldn’t get out, her whole body soaking in the dissolving molten slurry. Bored, she said, "Give it up! This Magical Treasure can’t refine me."
Lin Shanshan and the others stood outside, staring at the Nine Flames Melting Blood Furnace that Long Fei had bestowed, all somewhat incredulous.
This True Immortal Magic Treasure had once refined a Demon Lord.
Yet now, when used against this Witch, it actually wasn’t working at all.
The aura on her body seemed completely at odds with this world.
The Laws of this world naturally couldn’t do anything to her.
Hua Qianmo said cautiously to Lin Shanshan, "She was brought back by the Sect Hierarch. We’re not going to cause some big trouble, are we?"
Lin Shanshan shrugged. "What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like she’s going to die. She bullied my niece; giving her a little lesson is only right!"
All the women laughed.
Zhang Xian’er held Lin Shanshan’s arm, full of gratitude. "Auntie, you’re still the one who treats me best."
Lin Shanshan patted her head with a smile, then called everyone to go pick Spirit Fruit in the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Inside the wooden house, Long Fei and Lin Yingying knew everything that was happening outside like the back of their hands.
He had just finished telling Lin Yingying about the Witch, which made Lin Yingying frown in surprise. She hadn’t expected this Witch to have such a huge background.
She asked Long Fei, "So according to you, this Witch was sent by a Saint of the Netherworld?"
"It should be like that."
Long Fei nodded and explained to her, "The Netherworld is just like the Human Realm, with many races living there. This Witch is probably of the Asura Clan, the original natives of the Netherworld. Keeping her around will be very useful in the future."
Lin Yingying smiled. "You don’t need to explain to me. Our daughter’s already this big; I stopped getting jealous ages ago."
Long Fei chuckled and stared at her belly. "It’s been thirty thousand years. That little one in your belly should be about ready to come out too."
Lin Yingying looked at him. "Are we going to the Chaotic Sea?"
Long Fei nodded. "Right now, although the Nine Domains have defeated the Demon Race, the Demon Race still has considerable strength in other Star Domains. We need to rebuild the Heavenly Court and recruit talent across the entire Human Realm. Only then can we gather enough power to deal with the Demon Race."
Lin Yingying turned sideways and lay in his arms, full of tenderness. "Whatever you do, I’ll support you."
Long Fei hugged her with a smile and enjoyed a brief moment of warmth with her.
As night was about to fall and the feast had yet to begin, someone outside came to report.
Great Xia Country’s Emperor Ji Wanrong and Immortal King Star’s Empress Zhang Ziling had arrived, and with them came another person.
This person was said to be from the Northern Dipper Star Domain and claimed to have urgent business with Long Fei.
Long Fei and Lin Yingying exchanged a look, not expecting people from the Northern Dipper Star Domain to come at such a coincidental time.
He had no idea that this envoy had already been waiting here for a thousand years, and was in fact the tenth envoy to take up the post.
