"Turns out you were this impressive back then!" Upon hearing that the Wind God Lord had provoked the Hate Emperor, Xing Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Of course! Just look at who I am!" the Hate Emperor said proudly.
"However, it took you ten years to break through from Gaze into the Self to Spirit Void Realm. That's not exactly fast!" Xing Chen remarked.
"Peat, do you know how many years it usually takes for someone to break through from Gaze into the Self to Spirit Void Realm? At least a hundred years, a thousand years, or even a lifetime without success. Even those Emperors of Thunder Punishment took over ten years to advance from Gaze into the Self to Gaze of Fate," the Hate Emperor said indignantly.
"So you all are that useless! No wonder you lost to Punishment back then; it seems there’s a reason for that," Xing Chen rolled his eyes.
"Shut up! This is completely unrelated. We lost to Punishment solely because Punishment is too strong. Although we... well, we do have some responsibility, but ultimately it's because Punishment is just too strong..." The Hate Emperor's confidence waned as he spoke. After all, if they weren't so weak, how could Punishment's strength be highlighted? It was indeed because they were too weak and useless.
"What? Are you starting to feel it yourself?" Xing Chen sneered.
"Alright, we are indeed weaker compared to Punishment, but how can you be sure that you can surpass Punishment? Just because you have the Fate Jade Pendant?" The Hate Emperor sighed and then scoffed.
"I don't want to compare myself with him; I have no need to. I just want to quickly improve my strength, obtain the Underworld Blood Fruit, and break the Hundred-Day Blood Curse on Meng Xiner," Xing Chen said.
At this moment, the Wind God Lord spoke again: "Do you think you can surpass him?"
"I don't know. The future is unpredictable. Even Gaze of Fate cannot truly glimpse what will happen in the future. So, I can't guarantee that I will surpass him, but I will do my utmost to improve my cultivation and achieve my goals," Xing Chen's voice was firm, carrying an undeniable tone.
At this time, the Fate Jade Pendant on his forehead and the Phantom slowly dissipated.
"Good, I like your character. You indeed qualify to become my disciple," the Wind God Lord nodded, a hint of admiration in his eyes. He then continued, "But I still can't understand why you treat her this way."
"I am a person without emotions; I cannot have emotions," Xing Chen replied after a moment of silence.
"A person without emotions?" The Wind God Lord felt slightly puzzled; he didn't quite understand what Xing Chen meant by that. However, he didn't press further and simply said lightly, "You just received a gaze from Bloodthirsty Deity and sustained some injuries. It's best for you to rest here for a while before leaving. Moreover, obtaining the Underworld Blood Fruit is not entirely hopeless."
"Do you have any way to help me obtain the Underworld Blood Fruit?" Xing Chen's eyes flickered as he suddenly looked at the Wind God Lord.
"Now is not the right time; I can only have hope, but that hope is not very great. So, you better not place all your hopes on me. You should do what you need to do," said Wind God Lord.
"Where am I supposed to stay?" After hearing Wind God Lord's words, the light in Xing Chen's eyes quickly dimmed, and he spoke up.
"Let Xue take you to a place to stay!" Wind God Lord slowly said, "Xue, take your junior brother to find a place. Remember to find a place for two people."
"Got it, Master." Xue nodded. At this moment, she had already become quite familiar with Meng Xiner. Although they had only been chatting for less than a quarter of an hour, they were already calling each other sister.
Although Xue appeared younger than Meng Xiner, her actual age was already over twenty; she just had a Loli face that looked very cute, which was somewhat different from Meng Xiner's charm.
"Thank you, Snow Sister," Meng Xiner said with a hint of a weak smile on her delicate face.
"It's just showing the way; there's no need for you to be polite, Meng Xin'er," Xue waved her hand.
At this time, Xing Chen also approached Meng Xiner and said, "Your body is weak; it's best not to talk too much."
"Mm." Meng Xiner still wore a smile and nodded.
"Hey, hey, if you don't like talking, that's fine, but why stop Meng Xin'er from speaking?" Xue, walking ahead, seemed a bit displeased and spoke with a hint of annoyance on her cute face.
"I'm just saying her body is weak and it's not suitable for her to talk too much," Xing Chen replied coldly.
"Who would believe you? Meng Xin'er, don't listen to him too much. If you obey him completely, he'll definitely take advantage of it; all men are like that." Xue glanced at Meng Xiner.
"Snow Sister, Xing Chen is not like that; please don't misunderstand him. He treats me very well," Meng Xiner smiled at Xing Chen beside her.
"Really? I can't imagine what it would be like for him to be gentle with that ice-cold face of his," Xue pouted.
"I'm an ice block, but I'm still better than your doll-like face. At least I don't look like a kid," Xing Chen said lightly.
"You who are the kid? Even if I really am a kid, you're still the kid's junior brother," Xue stomped her foot in anger and glared at Xing Chen.
"Alright, stop arguing. Snow Sister, don't fight with Xing Chen anymore; he really means no harm," Meng Xiner said with a hint of urgency on her pretty face.
"Meng Xin'er, come on, I'll take you to my place. Don't stay with this ice block," Xue Zhe said, pulling Meng Xiner along.
"She can't go with you," Xing Chen said coldly, grabbing Meng Xiner's arm.
"Who do you think you are? Just because you say she can't go with me doesn't mean she can't!" Xue looked at Xing Chen disdainfully.
"If I say she can't, then she can't," Xing Chen replied with an undeniable tone.
"Xing Chen, Snow Sister, stop arguing! You two are now senior and junior disciples; don't let me be the reason for your conflict!" Meng Xiner said anxiously.
"Meng Xin'er, staying with such a cold-hearted Rascal is really too much of a sacrifice for you. Come with me instead!" Xue shot a fierce glare at Xing Chen and turned to Meng Xiner.
"Don't mind her; let's go!" Xing Chen seemed to treat Xue as if she were air, directly pulling Meng Xiner into his embrace.
"You, you, you..." Xue's delicate body trembled in anger, as if she might explode at any moment. But in the end, she just stomped her foot and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Xing Chen led Meng Xiner toward the room ahead. From the perspective of the Hate Emperor, what just happened was a classic case of burning bridges; after all, someone brought him to a place to stay, and he had just made that person angry. Wasn't that burning bridges?
"Xing Chen, weren't you a bit harsh on Snow Sister? After all, she's looking out for me," Meng Xiner said softly, glancing at the fuming Xue as she walked away.
"I just don't want you to get hurt. I'm not comfortable with your current condition being around her. As for Snow, I'll find a chance to repay her kindness," Xing Chen replied slowly.
"Kindness?" Meng Xiner asked, slightly puzzled. Although Snow had treated her well, it hardly counted as kindness!
"She treats you well; to me, that's kindness. I don't want to owe her anything," Xing Chen stated.
"By the way, Xing Chen, aren't you going to the Hate Sea Region? Once you're healed, just go straight there. You don't need to worry about me; I should be fine here," Meng Xiner smiled at Xing Chen after entering the room.
She knew that she was weaker than an ordinary person right now and following Xing Chen would only add trouble for him. So it was better to stay here and wait for news from him!
"I'm sorry, I can't leave you here alone. After all, I'm not familiar with this place. That Wind God Lord, although he is nominally my master, I don't know anything about his character or anything else. What if he turns against you after I leave?" Xing Chen shook his head.
Although the Wind God Lord seemed like a good person, knowing someone superficially doesn't mean knowing their heart. Xing Chen would never easily trust anyone, nor would he leave Meng Xiner in a place he was unfamiliar with.
"Really, it's fine. I think Snow Sister is a nice person; she should take care of me," Meng Xiner said with a smile.
"No way, this matter is non-negotiable. Rest assured, I will protect you no matter what. The last incident will never happen again, I promise you," Xing Chen said without hesitation.
"Alright, but you have to promise me that you won't use that jade pendant unless it's an emergency," Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen and said.
"Okay, I promise you." Xing Chen paused for a moment and then nodded. He continued, "I feel that after a series of battles, my realm can break through again. Last time in the Underworld Abyss, I killed many people, and their Storage Rings contained many Demon Cores. As long as I absorb the power of these Demon Cores, my cultivation can rise sharply and reach the peak of Gaze into the Self."
"That's great! With your strength increased, you'll encounter fewer dangers," Meng Xiner's charming smile appeared on her face, but soon she felt a bit dizzy.
"What's wrong? Is the Hundred-Day Blood Curse acting up again?" Xing Chen immediately noticed something was off with Meng Xiner and quickly asked.
"No, I'm just a little tired. A nap should fix it," Meng Xiner shook her head weakly.
"Okay, then you rest first. I'll absorb the power from those Demon Cores and see what realm I can reach," Xing Chen said as he gently patted Meng Xiner's head.
