CHAPTER 521: CHAPTER 521 THEY ALL HAVE IDEAS

Ali had noticed Chen Pingping and Lao Huang from afar but could not make out Chen Pingping’s face due to the distance. It was only when they got closer that she heard him constantly nagging Lao Huang.

Is this man unhinged? she wondered.

’Like father, like son’? PFFT... How could the Human Clan possibly give birth to a cow? This man isn’t just unhinged; he’s a pervert!

She grumbled inwardly...

Yue Wuxia glanced at her with a hint of reproach and said, "Ali, you must always be mindful of our image. After all, we are here to represent Monster Emperor City in battle."

"..."

"You can’t curse at people. Whether he’s sick or not is none of our business," Yue Wuxia chided. "Besides, you should realize that’s a small demon, not ordinary livestock. It’s quite normal for it to be sentient."

Ali had no response to that and fell silent.

Chen Pingping, overhearing their conversation, felt quite embarrassed, but he didn’t want to dwell on it. His goal was Spirit Mountain, a place rumored to be a gathering spot for many young prodigies.

Among them are many powerful Divine Bodies, Different Bodies, and Attribute Bodies. How wonderful it would be if I could recruit them to the Wuji Sect! As for these two women before me, one’s a naive sweetheart, and the other is too... Wouldn’t arguing with them be beneath my own status?

Chen Pingping smiled faintly, patted Lao Huang on the back, and said, "Let’s move on."

Seeing this, Yue Wuxia paused and hesitated for a moment. Then she stopped the man and his cow, saying, "Human Clan man, you cannot go up there."

HUH?

Chen Pingping was puzzled. "Why not?"

"I’m warning you kindly because I think you’re a decent person. There’s someone on Spirit Mountain who’s violent, capricious, and bloodthirsty. If you go up there and accidentally provoke him, you’re guaranteed to suffer," Yue Wuxia said seriously.

Is that so?

He looked up, gazing at Spirit Mountain, deep in thought.

Yue Wuxia added, "If you trust me, don’t go up."

Chen Pingping withdrew his gaze. "If we’re not supposed to go up, then why are you two stationed here?"

Yue Wuxia replied, "I just came to have a look. I didn’t expect to run into him... AH, such bad luck."

"Who?" asked Chen Pingping.

"Qin Meng, son of the Demon Emperor. He’s not only powerful but also extremely domineering..." Yue Wuxia said apprehensively. "So, it’s better not to go up."

Even the Demon Race has sent people to join the battle? A Demon Emperor? Wait a minute... what does she mean?

Unable to hold back, Chen Pingping asked, "Do you mean to say that there’s still a living Great Emperor among the Demon Race?"

"Of course..." Mentioning this, Yue Wuxia suddenly became proud. "Not just one, but two."

Chen Pingping was stunned.

"However, the two Demon Emperors are different. Qin Meng’s father is pro-war and belligerent, while the other Demon Emperor is pro-peace. The Demon Race region she governs has been peaceful for ten thousand years," Yue Wuxia giggled.

"Did you just mention Monster Emperor City?"

"I did not."

"You did."

"I did not..."

Chen Pingping looked at Spirit Mountain once more, then dismounted from Lao Huang.

This girl clearly said she was representing Monster Emperor City in battle just moments ago, but now she’s denying it. Something’s fishy.

After getting off Lao Huang, he asked in a low voice, "Is that Qin Meng really so powerful?"

"Yes, he’s very strong. What’s more, he has a bad temper. Let me tell you..." Yue Wuxia began to ramble.

Once the topic of Qin Meng came up, she seemed to have many grievances and unleashed them all like a torrent.

Chen Pingping listened intently, occasionally expressing surprise.

And when he heard Yue Wuxia say that she had beaten Qin Meng before, he was taken aback.

Her? She managed to defeat such a formidable person?

"And then?"

Yue Wuxia said proudly, "I slapped him, and he didn’t dare say a word. Not only that, even his father didn’t dare to speak! HEHE, I’m awesome, right?"

"Awesome!" Chen Pingping looked admiring. Then he asked, "But aren’t you a Human Clan woman? Why are you in the Demon Race’s territory?"

UH OH!

Yue Wuxia guiltily explained, "I’m traveling across the continent!"

Chen Pingping nodded. "I see. It’s amazing that you’re such an exceptional powerhouse." He took a deep breath, his face earnest. "No wonder you’re here to compete in the Ancient Country. Given your strength, taking first place on the Wind Cloud List should be no problem at all."

"That’s right..." She lifted her head high, her eyes darting about before adding, "I think you’re a nice guy, with a kind heart. How about you follow me from now on? If that brat Qin Meng dares to bully you, I’ll beat him to death."

She seemed to have forgotten something.

For instance, she didn’t dare go up Spirit Mountain when she heard Qin Meng was there...

As for the earlier claim of defeating Qin Meng, that happened within Monster Emperor City, and her mother was right behind her, watching Qin Meng.

Of course, Qin Meng wouldn’t dare fight back against her slap.

Since then, she would tell anyone who’d listen that she had defeated Qin Meng, easily crushing this Emperor Son.

But the people of Monster Emperor City knew the truth.

Behind her, Ali rolled her eyes constantly. The Young Mistress is boasting again.

Chen Pingping exclaimed, "I’m lucky you warned me! Otherwise, I might have gone up Spirit Mountain and been killed by the Emperor Son by now. So fortunate, so fortunate."

Yue Wuxia blinked. "Call me Big Brother."

"Isn’t it Big Sister?" Chen Pingping was confused.

PFFT!

Yue Wuxia objected, "Big Sister sounds terrible, and I’m not that old. Just call me Big Brother. From now on, you follow me..."

Chen Pingping was straightforward. "Big Brother." Saying this, he pulled Yue Wuxia aside, away from Ali, and asked in a low voice, "Big Brother, do you think I have a shot at ranking in the top ten on the Wind Cloud List with my current strength?"

Yue Wuxia hails from Monster Emperor City and has an extraordinary background, possibly connected to the second Demon Emperor. A woman like that wouldn’t be weak in cultivation and might even possess an unusual bloodline. If I could befriend her and recruit her to the Wuji Sect... then in the future, when the Wuji Sect advances into the Demon Race’s territory, wouldn’t we have an extra strategist? Perfect!

Yue Wuxia blinked; a plan was forming in her mind as well. Although I’m from Monster Emperor City, I sneaked out. Unlike Qin Meng, that fellow definitely has powerful experts protecting him, which is why he can wander the Human Clan’s territory fearlessly. I can’t. Therefore, I need a guide familiar with the Human Clan’s lands and knowledgeable about their major powers—like this guy right in front of me. He looks like a fool at first glance. With my wits, deceiving Chen Pingping shouldn’t be difficult. Moreover, he treats even a small, sentient demon with such kindness, which shows he doesn’t detest the Demon Race. If I accidentally expose my identity, Chen Pingping probably wouldn’t clamor for my death. With a little heart-to-heart talk, some reasonable persuasion, and maybe shedding a few tears, I could surely trick him into risking his life for me. HEHE! I’m just so clever.

Yue Wuxia stifled her laughter and asked, "What realm are you in now?"

"Let me think..." Chen Pingping pondered. "Supreme Mystery? King Tao? I’m not sure. I’ve been cultivating on my own for a long time, with no one to tell me."

He really is a fool; he doesn’t even know his own realm.

Yue Wuxia comforted him, "Don’t be afraid. When I take first place on the Wind Cloud List, I’ll surely sweep away all your foes and help you take second place. If they disagree, I’ll just take them all out."

Chen Pingping was touched. "Thank you, Big Brother."

Yue Wuxia smiled. "Come on, Big Brother will take you somewhere."

"What about Spirit Mountain?" Chen Pingping hesitated.

"A bunch of fools gathered together, not worth mentioning. The place Big Brother is taking you is extraordinary. You might even find a Great Opportunity there!" Yue Wuxia winked and, without waiting for Chen Pingping’s response, pulled him away.

Behind them, Ali and Lao Huang were left utterly bewildered.
