Chapter 68: Stay Away from Lingqing!

“Baby Lingqing, don’t believe her nonsense!”

Chen Anping’s face instantly turned ashen. Fury raged across his face like a gale, actually stirring up gusts of cold wind in the surroundings.

“As long as I, Chen Anping, am here, you don’t need to become that peerless empress!”

“Even the most powerful enemy, I will let him know the charm of paying to win!”

“Jialan Academy’s divine realm Dao Soldier, is it? If you dare to provoke baby Lingqing in the slightest, I will definitely slay you!”

After saying all this, Chen Anping’s face grew even more sullen, determined to dote on the woman he loved most.

…

At this moment, Xu Lingqing’s heart was in extreme torment. She understood what Hui Liyi meant.

Why her?

Why was the task of saving the Firo Continent given to her?

Heaven bestows a great responsibility upon this person, but I am just an ordinary person without parental love.

It was ‘Senior’ who gave me my life, it was ‘Senior’ who gave me love, it was ‘Senior’ who has been protecting me.

It was he who allowed her to live in this world with dignity, to be someone others dared not bully.

But now, to ask her to forget him, how could she possibly do it?

No… impossible!

I definitely can’t do it, I definitely can’t do it!

At this moment, Xu Lingqing’s eyes were wide open, her expression filled with fear and despair.

She held her head and screamed, her body struggling desperately. In her eyes, a dragon and a phoenix roamed in the sea of her spirit, dazzling her soul.

The violet light on her body surged to the heavens, almost breaking the barrier Hui Liyi had set up.

“Ah… I don’t want to… I don’t want to be an empress, I don’t want to be that peerless empress…”

Her emotions completely collapsed. Her beautiful face twisted into a ball, her mouth wide open, screaming hysterically.

“Senior… Lingqing can’t forget you. Please talk to me, okay?”

Chen Anping replied anxiously, “I’m here, baby Lingqing, I’m here, I’ve always been here…”

However, his voice could not reach her ears, as if a membrane had cut off the connection.

Xu Lingqing waved her hands, her body trembling, and she roared.

“Why? Why isn’t Senior talking to me anymore?”

Chen Anping roared in fury, “You game designer, just tell me how much money it costs to contact Lingqing?”

There was dead silence. No pop-up appeared on the game screen, as if the previous game system had disappeared.

To attract Xu Lingqing’s attention, Chen Anping dragged the Invincible Golden Body Talisman in his hand, intending to use its golden light to awaken Xu Lingqing from her grief.

But…

The grayed-out talisman was forbidden to be used. It simply couldn’t be used.

“Damn it! What kind of broken game is this? How could a bug appear at such a critical moment?”

Chen Anping cursed in frustration, almost smashing his phone. But the last shred of reason in his heart made him freeze.

From beginning to end, he didn’t know where this game was downloaded from. If he smashed his phone, he would never see baby Lingqing again.

On the screen, Xu Lingqing was heartbroken. The dragon and phoenix flew out from her spiritual world and coiled around her.

With the blessing of the dragon and phoenix, the violet light on Xu Lingqing’s body became even more furious, directly shattering the barrier Hui Liyi had set up.

Bang…

A crisp shattering sound fell, and the barrier turned into nothingness. A familiar, powerful voice sounded in Xu Lingqing’s ear.

[Baby Lingqing, I’m here…]

Hearing this voice, Xu Lingqing’s madness gradually dissipated. Her breathing began to stabilize, and her eyes regained their icy clarity.

“Senior… sob sob sob… Lingqing thought I made you angry, that you didn’t want me anymore…”

Chen Anping’s body trembled slightly with anger. He immediately saw that something was wrong.

He had wrongly blamed the game system. It turned out that the barrier set up by that old witch Hui Liyi had blocked the sound.

[I’ve always been here…]

“I knew Senior wouldn’t abandon Lingqing. As long as you’re by Lingqing’s side, Lingqing is so happy…”

Chen Anping’s eyes widened in anger. Seeing the unsealed Immortal Fire Talisman, he dragged it onto Hui Liyi in a fit of pique.

You old witch!

How dare you make my baby Lingqing so sad!

Today, if I don’t teach you a good lesson, I’ll let you know your place!

Hui Liyi only felt a heart-palpitating sensation rush towards her, and the oppressive aura of death enveloped her heart.

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

In an instant, the sky was a sea of fire. Countless immortal fires descended without warning, targeting Hui Liyi.

The terrifying immortal fire threatened to completely engulf Hui Liyi. The scorching temperature seemed to melt all things.

A faint green light flashed around Hui Liyi’s body. Under the protection of that light, she barely managed to withstand the first wave of the immortal fire’s attack.

“Who dares to sneak attack this venerable one?”

Xu Lingqing looked up and shouted repeatedly, “Senior, stop! Sect Master Hui is doing this for my own good…”

“Hmph!”

A powerful, cold snort descended from the sky, filled with Chen Anping’s dissatisfaction with her.

Because he could see that the previous prompt for Hui Liyi was green, but now it had turned white.

This meant that she might continue to be a good person, or she might become a bad person who would harm Lingqing in the next second.

Was Hui Liyi, with such a scheming mind, really doing this for Lingqing’s good?

It was better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. This was Chen Anping’s rule for doting on Xu Lingqing.

It was also his own rule!

The overwhelming immortal fire fell. Although Hui Liyi was not seriously injured, she was in a sorry state.

Her green clothes were burned, and her skin was scorched with circles of black.

Hui Liyi stared at Xu Lingqing with a gloomy face and questioned, “Dean Xu, is this how you treat your guests?”

[Shut up! Stay away from my baby Lingqing!]

Xu Lingqing was in a difficult position. She looked at the sky and then at the injured Hui Liyi, “Sect Master Hui, Senior is not this kind of person… it might just be an accidental injury.”

Hui Liyi smiled coldly, “Is that so? In that case, we of the Green Luan Sect will take our leave!”

“Sect Master Hui, you…”

[Get back to your Green Luan Sect!]

Lei Mingde was bewildered, frozen on the spot. He opened his mouth wide and asked.

“Sect Master Hui, Dean Xu, what are you two arguing about?”

“You will regret this!”

Hui Liyi grunted, gave the sky a cursed glare, and a cold air surged from her body.

Chen Anping pouted in disdain, “What are you looking at? You old hag, you must be trying to harm my baby Lingqing!”

With that, Chen Anping picked up another Immortal Fire Talisman, about to let it fall.

After glaring, Hui Liyi, along with Hui Ziying and the others, fled at an extremely fast speed.

He dragged the map to pursue them, but could no longer find their tracks.

Xu Lingqing spread her hands, somewhat at a loss.

She didn’t mention what Hui Liyi had wanted her to do to become an empress, only explaining faintly.

“Perhaps Sect Master Hui and Senior had some conflict. Neither of them are petty people. It will be fine after a while.”

Lei Mingde was a little doubtful, but could only nod.

“Dean Xu, I estimate that the divine realm Dao Soldier will recover to its peak in two days at most. I have to go back to the Beast Taming Sect to prepare our defenses.”
