Chapter 1308: Chapter 1308: In Support of My Brother’s Bromance
Everyone was profoundly shaken by Chi Fei’s words, but that wasn’t all; Chi Fei continued, “It’s fortunate that both you and your younger brother are males. If it were a girl… You should know that for so many years, the inhabitants of Demon Spirit Peak have been nearly driven mad in pursuit of the Chaos Divine Source. Back then, they paid a severe price to descend in great numbers into the Central Continent to chase after your mother, having heard that she bore a daughter, and that the Chaos Divine Source resided within that infant girl.”
At the mention of the “Chaos Divine Source,” Lord Beiting Jing broke out into a cold sweat. While the Chi Fei Brothers were on guard around them, Lord Beiting Jing himself wasn’t without his suspicions toward the Chi Fei Brothers. He laughed heartily and raised his cup, “Let’s set aside these weighty topics for now. If the time comes for us to go to the 33 Heavens, I hope the three of you will take good care of us!”
“Naturally!” Chi Fei lifted his cup smilingly, “Holy Sword Ridge is always welcoming friends from Huang City!”
If Xu Xiaomo and her two companions had not seen Yan Ye, they might still be uncertain whether this person from Yan City was indeed the Devil Emperor from ten thousand years ago. On the battlefield just before, the three saw Yan Ye from a distance, and his appearance was an exact match to the portraits circulated within the 33 Heavens.
Had Xu Xiaomo not witnessed the unnaturally close relationship between Yan Ye and Beiting Huang, she would have definitely rushed up to give Yan Ye a big hug. In her own words, “How can the Devil Emperor be so bewitchingly handsome? Wuu wuu wuu, my dad is bewitchingly handsome and belongs to my mom, Uncle Yaofeng is bewitchingly handsome and belongs to Auntie Han Xiao, and the Devil Emperor is monopolized by my brother. Oh!”
“However, to support my brother’s deep bonds, I can still sacrifice a bit of myself!”
Chi Lan actually wanted to say, even without Beiting Huang, the Devil Emperor would never be Xu Xiaomo’s. The love story between the Devil Emperor and the Demon Queen ten thousand years ago was so poignant it could shake the heavens and move the spirits to tears. After the Demon Queen’s fall, the Devil Emperor waited for her for ten thousand years. Now, he’d rather be with a man than touch a woman. Could Xu Xiaomo hope for anything?
However, these thoughts were best left unvoiced!
The news that people from Huang City might be going to the 33 Heavens instantly excited Xu Xiaomo, who wanted to jump up from her seat. Once again, she leaned forward, grabbing Lord Beiting Jing’s arm, “Is it true? Really? That’s great, Emma, I finally have companions! You must come find me in the Nine Provinces Ink Region!”
The first time, it was a wrist that had been grabbed; this time, it was an arm being squeezed. Lord Beiting Jing had the strange impression that this hand didn’t feel like a man’s hand. However, this notion was merely fleeting. Considering Xu Xiaomo’s youth, without even an Adam’s apple, looking completely like a child, Lord Beiting Jing dismissed the thought.
Xu Xiaomo’s nails were too long, and in his excitement, he gripped too harshly, causing Lord Beiting Jing’s arm to ache fiercely. Not daring to shake him off with spiritual energy, Lord Beiting Jing could only reach out to grab Xu Xiaomo’s hand and pull it away from his arm.
Suddenly, Xu Xiaomo’s hand was grasped by a large, warm, dry hand, causing him to tremble violently. A strange feeling surged through him, accompanied by discomfort. Just as he was about to pull away, he looked up and found himself gazing into a pair of bright, gentle eyes, brimming with laughter.
Those eyes were like the vast sky, like a deep ocean, their bright lights shimmering as if reflecting a myriad of lamps, causing Xu Xiaomo to be nearly intoxicated at a glance, losing himself, foolishly, dumbly, with his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
