76 The Jade Emperor (1/2)
For the first time ever, Yi Ping had lost his fighting spirit and he was trembling. He was weeping and crying out aloud, ”Child, you have lost your mother at such a tender age. Soon you will lose your father too…”
He was dazed and despite Lingfeng, Yunzi, Youxue and Xingyue calling out aloud to him, he did not seem to have noticed them.
He had been though several hardships and misadventures together with Lele, Yixian, Lie Qing, Yu'Er and Mei'Er but now he had lost them forever. This was a huge blow to him!
Shen Xingyue sighed sadly but she knew that this was not the time for sorrows. Unless they could overcome their opponents today, none of them would be able to survive today. She raised her Blue Heavens Divine Sword as she stared coldly at the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor said, ”It seems that he can no longer fight. What a pity. I will really like to see how profound the Asper Divinity Horizon Hands really is but it seems that I no longer have the opportunity to witness it today.”
Yunzi cried out emotionally, ”You can witness the flying sword techniques of the Virtuous Palace instead when your head is rolled on the ground!”
Shen Xingyue, Youxue, Yunzi and Lingfeng had already stepped forward with defiant expressions against both the Jade Emperor and the Celestial Liege!
The Jade Emperor said coldly, ”Go on, I am willing to give you an advance of a hundred strokes before I retaliate.”
The Celestial Liege was smiling, ”Then I shouldn't be less generous as well. I am also willing to give an advance of one hundred strokes.”
Shen Xingyue whispered, ”Leave the Jade Emperor to me. If possible, try to delay the Celestial Liege as much as possible until I have dealt with the old freak.”
The rest of the maidens simply nodded silently.
It was because Shen Xingyue had noticed that they too, had lost their fighting spirits!
Xiao Youxue eyes were melancholy. She was really close to Yixian the Celestial Fairy who had taught her the Divine Emerald Skill and the advance levels of the Icy Heavenly Tears. Without her instructions, she would never be able to overcome her Divine Calamity. Yixian was not only her protégé mistress but her sister as well!
The same thing went for Yunzi as well who had regarded Lie Qing the Heavenly Temptress in a similar fashion as Youxue.
Lingfeng who was emotional attached to Yi Ping through the Emptiness Translucent was trembling uncontrollably as grief overtook her.
Asking them to delay the Celestial Liege was really not an easy thing to do in their present state!
Just as Shen Xingyue was about to launch an attack on the awaiting Jade Emperor, a familiar feminine voice said unhappily. ”Forget about the hundred strokes in advance. This is not funny at all.”
Yi Ping was startled and his heart was pounding very excitedly. It was Lele's voice!
A beautiful enticing maiden had just walked into the garden. She was Lele the Joyful Goddess! She was breathtaking to beholden and it was as though the atmosphere had suddenly become alive with her entrance!
Yet, right behind her was four other equally beautiful maidens that were equally beautiful to behold; Yixian the Celestial Fairy, Lie Qing the Heavenly Temptress, Yu'Er the Eclipse Heaven Goddess and Mei'Er the Axis Heaven Goddess!
Just as Yi Ping was still recovering from his daze, Mei'Er and Yu'Er had already surrounded him as they called out excitedly to him. ”Master! You have finally come!”
Yi Ping was dumbfounded, ”Yu'Er, Mei'Er…you are not dead?”
Mei'Er laughed merrily, ”Do I look like I am dead to you?”
Yi Ping smiled weakly, ”No. What is going on?”
Shen Xingyue, Yunzi, Youxue and Lingfeng were already embracing Lele, Yixian, Mei'Er, Yu'Er and Lei Qing joyfully!
