"Buzz"
Long Chen and the others were shocked to find the space before them twisting—someone had actually broken through the barrier of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and entered inside.
However, when they saw the figure appear in the twisted space, everyone was instantly overjoyed.
Bai Shishi and Bai Xiaole emerged from the twisted space. As the three-flower pattern in Bai Xiaole's eyes slowly faded, the twisted space vanished as well.
Bai Xiaole looked excited. The purple-eyed nine-tailed demon fox lay on its shoulder, the purple in its pupils growing increasingly eerie, and its aura grew deeper.
Bai Shishi looked exhausted, her body covered in blood, clearly having just gone through a bloody battle.
Seeing Bai Shishi like this, a trace of concern flashed in Long Chen's eyes. Clearly, Bai Shishi was in a hurry to return, having fought fiercely all the way.
Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. Her beautiful eyes held a hint of warmth. Although Long Chen didn't speak, she could read his gaze.
"Sister Shishi,"
she
didn't know whether Tang Wan'er had just emerged from seclusion or had been keeping an eye on her movements. She appeared beside Bai Shishi and greeted her warmly.
This was the second time Tang Wan'er and Bai Shishi had met. The first time, Tang Wan'er was extremely jealous, and the situation was extremely awkward. This time, however, Tang Wan'er warmly held Bai Shishi's hand and called her 'sister.'
This made Bai Shishi both nervous and moved, and she suddenly felt a bit at a loss.
"Sister, let me take you to change your clothes." As Tang Wan'er spoke, she pulled Bai Shishi away.
Bai Shishi was clearly very nervous. She didn't dare face Tang Wan'er alone, because from Long Chen's words, she had already learned that Tang Wan'er was the most 'troublesome' among his many close female friends.
Bai Shishi wasn't afraid of fighting demons in blood, but facing Tang Wan'er alone, she felt a bit uneasy.
Seeing Bai Shishi looking at him, Long Chen smiled at her, signaling her not to worry—Tang Wan'er had already grown up.
Last time, Tang Wan'er lost her temper and deeply regretted it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had been childish and unreasonable, to the point that even she herself started to dislike herself.
Now, seeing Bai Shishi again, Tang Wan'er finally found a chance to make amends, and took Bai Shishi by the hand and left.
"Such powerful spatial power—you can easily break through the spatial defenses of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. Luckily, you're one of us. If you were an enemy, things would be unimaginable." Looking at Bai Xiaole, Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Xiaole's spatial power became increasingly unfathomable. From Xia Chen sensing the 'enemy' to Bai Xiaole breaking through the barrier, it happened in the blink of an eye—there was no time to react.
"Hehe, this isn't just my achievement. Xiao Jiu found its own lineage of inheritance, and I just borrowed it from it." Bai Xiaole chuckled.
What puzzled everyone was that Xiao Jiu remained silent, his purple eyes constantly sizing up Long Chen and the others. His gaze was sharp as a blade, causing Xia Chen and the others to frown slightly. Xiao Jiu seemed to have changed somewhat.
"Boss, Xiao Jiu has fused the bloodline and divine abilities of his ancestors, and has also fused their life runes. It seems to have been influenced by his ancestors, which has made him somewhat withdrawn now."
Seeing Xiao Jiu's aloof demeanor, Bai Xiaole said awkwardly. Now, Xiao Jiu wasn't a bit arrogant, but rather aloof.
Long Chen looked at the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, a faint smile gradually appearing at the corner of his mouth. Long Chen could tell this guy wasn't aloof, but rather somewhat arrogant.
The so-called influence from ancestors was nonsense. It meant that the proud bloodline of the Little Nine Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Fox clan was beginning to awaken, like a fallen prince finally ascending his throne.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one in the Tianmai Profound Realm can threaten you." Xiao Jiu finally spoke, and from the start, it was full of arrogance.
Hearing Xiao Jiu speak, Xia Chen, Gu Yang, and Song Mingyuan furrowed their brows even tighter. This little guy's tone was almost unbearably arrogant.
Bai Xiaole wasn't stupid; he knew Xiao Jiu was getting a bit too arrogant right now, but he had no choice but to look at Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "I can see that your strength has risen to an unprecedented level, Xiao Jiu. That's great, so I have nothing to worry about."
"Why worry?" A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Jiu's purple eyes.
"Because the mortal enemy of your Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has appeared."
"The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey Clan?" Xiao Jiu's eyes instantly turned sharp, violent demonic energy surging violently. Even someone as powerful as Gu Yang was struggling to breathe under the pressure of that presence.
This was just a casually released aura. Gu Yang and the others felt a chill in their hearts. No wonder Xiao Jiu was so arrogant—his strength was truly astonishing.
"That's right, they have appeared. There are many of them. The leader is Hou Tianwu, a prince of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan, and his strength is very formidable." Long Chen said.
"Where are they? I'm going to wipe them out right now." Xiao Jiu said through gritted teeth.
"You don't need to go find them. They'll meet us soon. You just need to conserve your energy and maintain peak combat power. Ideally, you can wipe them all out in one fell swoop." Long Chen said.
"Alright,"
Xiao Jiu nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
"Boss..."
Seeing Xiao Jiu enter meditation, Bai Xiaole looked apologetic. Xiao Jiu's current state made him regretful, but they were soul-connected partners, having made a pact to share life and death. Neither could abandon the other, so he could only endure.
Now, Xiao Jiu's arrogance had annoyed Gu Yang and the others, putting him in a difficult position, but there was nothing he could do.
Long Chen patted Bai Xiaole on the shoulder and said, "Confidence swelling isn't a bad thing; it shows it has absolute confidence in its own strength.
This is exactly what you lack. You grew up surrounded by various setbacks, which led to a lack of confidence. You two can complement each other.
Living together and living together, accompanying you for life. When problems arise, you should think about communicating with each other, understanding and tolerating each other, without having extreme thoughts."
Based on Long Chen's understanding of Bai Xiaole, if Xiao Jiu kept growing arrogant, he might give up on her and terminate the contract with her. This would be extremely passive and extremely irresponsible.
To put it bluntly, whether it's Bai Xiaole or Xiao Jiu, they're still kids whose minds aren't mature enough.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Bai Xiaole felt much more at ease. He glanced at the little fox that was already meditating and said, "
I'm worried it might get too arrogant and want to challenge your authority, boss."
"Hahaha..."
As soon as
Bai Xiaole said this, Long Chen, Gu Yang, and the others all laughed. Long Chen laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. If it can defeat me, I'd be more than happy to take itLeave the burden on your shoulders to it."
"What made you all laugh so happily?"
Just then, Tang Wan'er and Bai Shishi arrived. When Long Chen saw Bai Shishi, his eyes were filled with amazement.
