Peerless War God

Xiao Ling turned her head and silently wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes. She forced herself to calm down.    

Nichang also sighed, her face filled with worry.    

Chen Xiao felt his heart ache when he saw this. He hugged Xiao Ling tightly and said, "Don't be like this. I will be very sad. I can't bear to see women cry."    

Only then did Xiao Ling raise her head. Her eyes were red as she said in a delicate voice, "Husband, are you really willing to abandon us and take such a huge risk to challenge the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda?"    

"That's right. Are you sure you don't want to go?"    

Nichang chimed in.    

"I..."    

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, but he was at a loss for words. He did not know how to say it.    

There were some things that he felt it was better not to say. He could bear the consequences of Li Zhan's matter alone. It was fine if he remembered it in his heart. There was no need to say it out loud, so that they could also be worried.    

In order to deal with Li Zhan and to deal with Yi Yun, the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He had to go.    

Just as he was hesitating over how to say it, his savior appeared.    

"Woof."    

Hei Zi cheerfully called out and ran over.    

Yue Yao held a box of pastries and delicacies in her hands. They were all made by herself. She walked over with a smile on her face and graceful steps.    

"Alright, the two of you don't bother him anymore. Come, have some food. I made it myself."    

Yue Yao smiled and put down the food box.    

Chen Xiao saw this and felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He said happily, "Yue Yao, you really know me. I'm really hungry."    

He picked up the pastries and started to eat them. He even used both hands to eat them, looking a little embarrassed.    

Yue Yao burst out laughing. "You, if you like it, eat more."    

"En."    

Chen Xiao kept eating and kept stuffing food into his mouth, forcefully blocking the topic.    

Xiao Ling and the two girls looked at each other helplessly. However, they had no choice but to give up.    

"You guys just need to know what to do. Don't force him. You all know that he won't change his mind easily."    

At the same time, Yue Yao transmitted her voice to the two girls.    

Xiao Ling sighed in her heart and said, "I know. It's just that I can't help but worry and be afraid."    

"Husband is too strong. The Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda is too dangerous. Why do you have to get involved? Sigh."    

Nichang was filled with worry.    

"A good man wants to do anything. Chen Xiao wants to become stronger and cultivate hard so that everyone can live a better life. Don't blame him. We are his women, so we can help him share his burdens."    

Yue Yao said indifferently. She knew more than anyone else.    

There were some things that could not be stopped, so she just let nature take its course and tried her best to understand the reason behind Chen Xiao's actions.    

When faced with danger, no one would really be indifferent and calm. However, even so, Chen Xiao still had to advance bravely. It could be seen from this that his determination was strong.    

It was precisely because of this that Yue Yao understood Chen Xiao.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao, who sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange, raised his head and said, "What's wrong? What are the three of you talking about?"    

"Nothing, nothing. Darling, you are overthinking." Xiao Ling quickly turned her head away, not daring to look Chen Xiao in the eyes.    

Nishang's face stiffened, not knowing how to answer.    

However, Yue Yao was even more calm and composed. She replied with a face of ease, "We are talking about you."    

"My matter?" Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He obviously knew that it was about the matter of going to the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda.    

"Right, I'm advising them to relax a little." Yue Yao said with a calm face, but she said such shocking words.    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's movements paused. After a while, he said, "It's all my fault. I made you worry."    

When Yue Yao saw this, she felt her heart ache. She took a step forward and hugged Chen Xiao, comforting him, "What's wrong? You are also doing this for our sake. This time, going to the Nine-Layered Divine Tower is extremely dangerous. Since you can't stop you, you have to prepare a complete plan in case of emergencies."    

Yue Yao's words moved Chen Xiao's heart. He suddenly became enlightened.    

He nodded forcefully and said, "En, of course I will prepare. I can't possibly take my life as a joke, right?"    

"Haha."    

The three girls laughed endlessly, and the knot in their hearts was mostly untied.    

After that, Chen Xiao and the three girls began to discuss some preparations. They needed pills and talismans to prevent any mishaps.    

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had to bring everything he could use with him. These trivial matters were left to Yueyao and the other two girls to handle. It was quite suitable.    

Just like that, after discussing for a while, Yueyao exclaimed, "What? You want to bring Lil' Long along on this trip to the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda?"    

Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, and Hei Zi. It is a Hellhound. Perhaps it can be of some use in there."    

Yueyao pondered for a moment and said, "Lil' Long and Hei Zi both have the strength of Immortal Realm. Have you discussed this with Lil' Long?"    

Chen Xiao laughed, "Lil' Long has already agreed. I will specially train him during these days and teach him some cultivation methods. I will strive to increase his strength as soon as possible."    

"Ah?"    

Hearing that, Yueyao was stunned for a moment. She blinked her eyes and looked at the three people fighting crazily inside the barrier.    

"So, you want Lil' Long to be your sparring partner?"    

Chen Xiao laughed loudly, "Right, this will save me a lot of trouble."    

"You..." Yueyao smiled helplessly. She didn't know what to say.    

Bang.    

With a muffled sound, Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue were sent flying by Lil' Long's fists. They fell heavily to the ground and spat out blood. Their faces were pale and ugly, and their breaths were unstable. They were much weaker.    

Fortunately, it was not a fatal injury, but a superficial wound.    

Gu Feng's eyes were filled with disbelief as he glared at Lil' Tian fiercely, "You bastard, you are an ancient beast. You relied on your powerful body and good talent to defeat me. I am not convinced."    

Lil' Tian chuckled and did not mind, "Being strong in the bloodline is also a kind of talent. It doesn't matter whether you are convinced or not. I will beat you until you are convinced."    

Lil' Tian grinned sinisterly, feeling quite proud of himself.    

In the battle just now, he had fought to his heart's content. Although Gu Feng and Gu Lanyue had used all their strength to fight together, even with the power of the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure, they were still not a match for him. They were beaten until they were defeated.    

Lil' Tian won the battle, sweeping away the bad luck he had suffered from being suppressed by Chen Xiao for the past few days. He let out a sigh of relief, and he felt much more at ease.    

"..." Gu Feng's eyes widened, full of disbelief.    

Gu Lanyue, who was at the side, twitched her mouth twice, enduring the intense pain in her body. She sat up with difficulty, took out a pill, and stuffed it into her mouth, trying her best to heal her injuries.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao waved his hand and removed the barrier. He said, "Alright, let's stop here for today. Gu Feng, Lanyue, you two should hurry up and heal your injuries. Don't leave any hidden dangers behind. It won't be too late to fight again in the future."    

"Yes, Captain."    

The two of them replied in unison. They did not say anything else and sat down on the spot to swallow the pills and heal their injuries quickly.
