Chapter 648 - 364: A Bet Is a Bet

Pei Yuhuan couldn’t bear watching anymore,

"Hey, little Taoist, what’s your problem! Just eating one of your pears, is it worth this fuss?

And you were the one who initiated the attack. If you can’t win, you should take it as a fair loss.

Oh, do I have to tie my hands and let you kill me?"

The Daoist stuck his chin up,

"There’s no point in talking! Since you’ve intervened and taken my Immortal Fate, it’s clearly my destiny, and there’s no hope for me to attain the Dao in this life!

Hurry and kill me! End this calamity and take all my Immortal Fate!

When I reincarnate after the Soldier Disintegration, I’ll definitely come back to avenge this! Collecting everything, with interest!"

"You..."

Huangfu Yi was at a loss for words, completely puzzled by this Daoist’s madness. Wouldn’t sparing a life be better? Why does he insist on seeking death? Is he planning to lure him close and then launch a sneak attack?

At this moment, the system identified,

"Kill, kill, kill; that’s how the Mystic Sect operates. This garbage is destined for this calamity, they don’t have the ability to overcome it, none of your business.

Just kill, if you don’t strike cleanly, and too much Essence Blood is lost, causing the Divine Soul to collapse, they might accuse you of intentionally insulting and harming their cultivation."

This Mystic Sect is insane, truly like the Demon Path...

Huangfu Yi had no choice but to raise his sword,

"Alright, I’ll kill. Any last words, sir?"

The Daoist lifted his neck, coldly snorted, and then said,

"Take care of my dog."

"Alright."

"Woo..."

Then with a flash of sword light, the head fell. Huangfu Yi flicked the sword to discard the blood, watching the dog skillfully dig a pit and drag the Daoist in to bury...

"Let’s go."

Huangfu Yi shook his head, slinging the basket on his back and climbing down the mountain, the dog leaping across the cliff and following from afar.

Pei Yuhuan tilted her head,

"Huangfu Yi? Are you really the descendant of the General of Western Expedition?"

Huangfu Yi ignored her.

Then Pei Yuhuan cleared her throat,

"My father said your mastery of the Gang Fist is not from a stray path, but likely from a formal guard background. Now bringing a sword to my door, it must be that my lucky star has arrived, just as he expected.

I never thought you were a descendant of the General of Western Expedition, no wonder you have such skills of Demon Slayer, and a chivalrous heart for Demon Extermination and defending the Dao.

I’ve long admired Lord Ming’s reputation, hearing that he’s a pillar of the court, a stalwart protector, a national chariot rider, and the Grand Commandant of the Three Constellations.

Even the lands of the Immortal Palace rely on his protection, befriending you is truly my blessing."

Huangfu Yi frowned,

"So you can speak well, but could your expression be any more fake?"

Pei Yuhuan, being still young, couldn’t remember much, so she just dropped the act and revealed her true self.

"You’re the one who hid your name and identity first! Besides, I’m going to ascend to great power and become the immortal queen! How could I meet a soldier ruffian and speak kindly, only to arouse gossip! I’ve been holding it in for days!

But now it’s fine! Your ancestor serves as a high-ranking chariot rider, as high as the Three Ministers, so you barely count as noble lineage, we’re on the same side! Don’t worry, protect me now, and when I make it big, I’ll definitely cover for you!"

Huangfu Yi snorted,

"So, you’re no longer going to Nine Yin Mountain, heading to the Do?"

Pei Yuhuan raised her head high,

"Seeing you’re from a noble family, with Lord Ming’s loyal service to the nation, and the Huangfu Family serving the court, all great loyalists, I’ll tell you.

The Sword Sect of Nine Yin Mountain originally belonged to the sword guard of the Immortal Palace, who defected to Xuan Nu’s command, taking with them the secrets of the Sword Guard Death Soldiers.

Now they’re self-destructing from infighting, this is a great opportunity for our Immortal Palace lineage to reclaim the Sword Transmission!

With the protection of the Ziwei Star and you as my Star Constellation Guard, with my grandmother in the Inner Sect of the Sword Sect keeping watch, I’ll surely be accepted into the mountain to learn, gaining the Nine Yin True Inheritance!

Once I obtain the Sword Guard transmission, and with the wealth of the Pei Family, recruit a batch of Sword Guards to serve! Thus, with inner loyal Sword Guards and outer warlord assistance!

In the future, I can use this sword to seize the grand position of the Three Constellations! One day, I’ll become..."

"The overlord of the Immortal Palace, right. Alright, alright, stop dreaming, hold on tight."

Huangfu Yi rolled his eyes and interrupted her, leaping from the cliff edge to the ground, ready to hit the road.

Pei Yuhuan quickly grabbed him, pointing a finger,

"The grapes are not eaten yet."

Huangfu Yi, "..."

Dog, "Awooo!"

Pei Yuhuan poked it,

"What! A bet is a bet! Didn’t you say just now that I can take all the Immortal Fate! And I’m not full yet, bark again and I’ll stew you too!"

The dog, angry but not daring to speak, had no choice but to watch as the two ate all the grapes... and then licked some skins.
