1419 The Imperial Harem Is on Fire! (1/2)

Xu Que was alone the first time he went, but on this trip back to the Four Great Continents, he brought Zixia Fairy along.

Of course, he also had to include Duan Jiude, the unwanted third wheel and stepchild!

When Xu Que had arrived, he didn't think it would end up this way. He was even prepared for a circumstance where Zixia Fairy would want to teach him a hard lesson.

However, the resulting situation had far exceeded his expectations. He had gone from worry to surprise, because Zixia Fairy had reached out to him.

Although her current attitude still seemed very aloof and cold, Xu Que wasn't panicking.

He could see that Zixia Fairy was proud, but they had spent more than a decade together in the Illusory Realm, and this experience wasn't something that Zixia Fairy could erase. It was also something that Xu Que couldn't erase!

”Do you really want to go back to the Heaven Continent with me? Is it really okay to leave Xiao Rou and the others in the Celestial Cloud Continent?” As they were starting on their way, Xu Que voiced his concerns.

Zixia Fairy frowned a bit at that moment and turned her head to stare at Xu Que as she said, ”Do you really want me to leave so badly?”

”.....” Xu Que realized he had misspoken and covered his face with his hands.

He was pained and upset. He shouldn't have asked that question. It would simply make trouble for him.

”What do you mean? You think too much, Little Xuanxuan,” Xu Que uncovered his face and spoke with a sincere smile. He even made a heart shape with his hands and showed it to Zixia Fairy.

He was determined to survive this ordeal.

Only then did Zixia Fairy let Xu Que off the hook and turned to look ahead. She said indifferently, ”They're in the Celestial Cloud Continent, which is the safest. Moreover, with Xiao Rou around, no one in the Yongzhen Celestial Realm will dare to lay a single finger on Su Yun Lan and the others.”

”Does Celestial Emperor Yongzhen really value Xiao Rou so much?” Xu Que was surprised. ”Even if Xiao Rou's aptitude is amazing and seems to be in defiance of the natural order, why does the Celestial Emperor attach so much importance to her?”

”Don't you understand? Xiao Rou has the Ancient Five Elemental Arts body, and Celestial Emperor Yongzhen has already decided she is the Celestial Emperor inheritor, and he means to cultivate her. If there are two Celestial Emperors in a Celestial Realm, their power will be limitless,” Zixia Fairy responded.

Xu Que suddenly frowned and asked, ”If that's the case, wouldn't the Celestial Emperors of the other Celestial Realms be tempted to consider recruiting Xiao Rou?”

”You think too much. At their level, they already don't care about power. Furthermore, when the Celestial Emperors of the other three Celestial Realms heard of Xiao Rou's existence, they seemed to also attach a great importance to her, and each sent a lot of natural treasures.”

Speaking of this, Zixia Fairy shook her head and continued, ”Although I don't know the reasons behind it, I can see that they have no malice. At least before Xiao Rou becomes a Celestial Emperor, everything will be fine!”

”If that's the case, then I can put my mind at ease,” Xu Que answered, smiling.

The meaning of Zixia Fairy's words was obvious. The four Celestial Emperors all had the same intention of cultivating Xiao Rou into a Celestial Emperor. Although it wasn't clear what the motivation was for the four of them to do so, as long as Xiao Rou hadn't become a Celestial Emperor yet, it could be assured that they would always protect and cultivate her.

”It wasn't easy for me to come back this time. It's almost impossible for me to want to go back, but the Heaven Continent seal will soon be unsealed. When the time comes, it'll be easy to go to the Celestial Cloud Continent,” Zixia Fairy said.

”That's great,” Xu Que clapped his hands and cried out with surprise.

Zixia Fairy suddenly squinted her eyes slightly and said, ”Are...you so eager to go to the Celestial Cloud Continent to meet your female confidantes?”

”I...” The smile on Xu Que's face froze instantly.

”Ha, ha, ha,” Duan Jiude finally found an opportunity and guffawed, taking delight in Xu Que's misfortune.

Xu Que smiled and reached his hand out to stroke Zixia Fairy's head. He said, ”You silly fool, what I meant to say was that it's great that you can stay.”

Zixia Fairy was appeased as she heard these words. She bowed her head and the corners of her mouth seemed to hold the hint of a smile.

”Come on!”

Duan Jiude covered his chest with one hand and stared at Xu Que with wide eyes. He almost coughed out a mouthful of blood.

”D*mn, I give up and throw in the towel. I really admit defeat.”

”This arrogant bastard has a desperate desire to live.”

…..

Soon, the three of them had returned to the East Continent.

Liu Jingning and the others had already found an inn in which to rest. Xu Que used his soul search function and easily found them.

Everyone was astonished when they saw that Xu Que had brought Zixia Fairy back with him.

Buttface was completely flabbergasted and looked incredulous as he said, ”F*ck, is Your Holiness dreaming? This boy can even settle things with this woman?”

SWISH!

Zixia Fairy's murderous-looking eyes instantly locked on Buttface.
