Chapter 163: Not Dead Yet

Looking at the half gold, half pure black eyes, Dong Xingchang couldn’t help but shiver.

The aura of the Immortal King before him was chilling, devoid of any human emotion, completely different from the father he remembered!

“This is bad. The merging array has been destroyed; father has not returned to normal. He might not even recognize me!”

Thinking of this, Dong Xingchang felt a wave of dread and wanted to escape.

However, a powerful celestial force suddenly locked onto him.

“Roar!”

The Immortal King let out a shriek, and countless crimson threads shot out from his eyes.

“Father, it’s me!”

Dong Xingchang instinctively shouted, but was still pierced through the head by those crimson threads.

“Ah!”

Dong Xingchang cried out in agony, clearly feeling those crimson threads penetrating his celestial soul.

“No!!!”

Dong Xingchang shouted in pain, contorting in agony.

In a short while, his celestial soul was drained by the red threads.

After absorbing Dong Xingchang’s celestial soul, the Immortal King finally regained some awareness.

“Xingchang, my son…”

He murmured, and a torrent of memories surged into his mind.

“Caw!”

In front of the Immortal King, the Alien Immortal seized the opportunity and attacked fiercely.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Claws struck against the defensive barrier raised by the Immortal King, shaking the heavens and scattering celestial light.

Under this fierce assault, the Immortal King had to ignore everything else and began a wild battle with the Alien Immortal.

The Immortal King unleashed a palm, and devastating celestial power rolled out, breaking the alien world the Alien Immortal had formed. Then, his dominating celestial body pressed forward, engaging in a fierce exchange of blows with the Alien Immortal.

The heavens trembled and roared, as the swirling space waves and the residual power of celestial energy forced Chen Ansheng to repeatedly retreat.

“This is the level of an Immortal King battle; it’s terrifying!”

After retreating hundreds of kilometers, Chen Ansheng still felt unable to withstand the residual impact.

Moreover, as the fighting between both sides escalated, the alien world created by the Alien Immortal became increasingly unstable. If Chen Ansheng remained there, once the alien world collapsed, he would be shredded by the laws, turning into ash.

Thus, Chen Ansheng had to completely withdraw from the alien world, quickly flying to the other edge of the void.

On the other side of the void, the battle of the Celestial Immortals was also raging fiercely. Chen Ansheng could only stop in between the two battlefields, not daring to move forward.

“I wonder if the Demoness is dead or alive.”

Looking at the distant celestial brilliance, Zhong Li’s smiling face unconsciously appeared in Chen Ansheng’s mind.

Although he understood that the Demoness risked her life to protect him because of the puppet mark, he still felt a sense of gratitude in his heart.

Throughout his life, he had faced much bullying; only Li Zhengyang and the Demoness truly stood up for him.

“Sigh…”

Memories from the past flooded his mind, and a hint of sorrow arose within Chen Ansheng.

“It’s likely you won’t survive. Then, all our grievances will be wiped clean.”

Thinking this, Chen Ansheng took out a small yellow notebook from his storage bag.

It contained a meticulous record of the crimes committed by Zhong Li.

Just as Chen Ansheng was about to condense a strand of celestial power to destroy the notebook, a figure suddenly flashed out, snatching the notebook from his hands.

“Dimwit, what are you mumbling about?”

Chen Ansheng instinctively turned to the side and saw Zhong Li’s stunning face wearing a smile, proudly lifting the yellow notebook.

Chen Ansheng was taken aback.

“No surprise there, Senior Sister, you’re actually still alive!”

Zhong Li wrinkled her nose and squinted, “Are you surprised? Or are you hoping this Miss would meet her end?”

Chen Ansheng shrugged, easing up, “What nonsense are you talking about? Come here and let me hug you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li was about to retort, but when she looked up, she saw the dimwit standing in front of her, smiling like a fool, with a softness in his eyes she had never seen before.

“Are you serious?”

Zhong Li tilted her head slightly.

“Guess.”

Chen Ansheng stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the stunned Zhong Li.

Then, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Thank you for still being alive, Senior Sister.”

Zhong Li rolled her eyes, wanting to say something harsh, but suddenly found herself rendered speechless.

It felt strange…

She simply closed her eyes, leaned in, and did nothing, thinking of nothing.

After a moment, Chen Ansheng gently pushed Zhong Li away and smiled, looking directly into her eyes.

Zhong Li was silent for a moment before suddenly saying:

“Just now felt pretty good. Can we do it again?”

“???”

Chen Ansheng didn’t expect the Demoness to take the initiative to make such a request?

He had to satisfy her!

Thus, Chen Ansheng placed one hand on Zhong Li’s shoulder and wrapped the other around her waist.

Before they could truly draw close, Zhong Li’s fair hand pushed against Chen Ansheng’s shoulder, “No, no, that’s not the feeling. We’re not doing it again.”

Then, Zhong Li backed away half a step, casually flipping through the yellow notebook in her hand.

At a glance, a layer of frost immediately covered Zhong Li’s beautiful face.

“February 28, the Demoness insulted me, humiliated me, and threatened me. This is a deep grudge.”

“March 1, deep grudge.”

“March 2… minor grudge.”

“Today, I was insulted again by the Demoness. When I rise again, I will seal her foul mouth.”

“Yesterday, I had a verbal tussle with the Demoness, was belittled and humiliated. This grudge will be repaid in the future.”

…

The notebook was filled with a series of her crimes, with the last pages even containing a revenge plan.

As Zhong Li’s expression grew darker, Chen Ansheng chuckled awkwardly, “It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Senior Sister, hear me out… no, wait, just listen to me…”

“Dumb dimwit!!!”

Zhong Li looked up, gritting her teeth, and raised her fist.

Truly infuriating, yet she couldn’t truly hate him.

Forget it.

After all, she couldn’t win against him.

Moments later, Zhong Li wore an expression of defeat, realizing that this was how she appeared in the dimwit’s eyes.

It felt strange…

“Uh…”

Chen Ansheng opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted when Zhong Li shot him a glare.

“Enough, don’t try to defend yourself.” Then, Zhong Li shrugged indifferently, “After all, you’re not wrong; this Miss is indeed a murderous, ruthless Demoness.”

Chen Ansheng could only awkwardly smile and change the topic. “By the way, Senior Sister, who saved you?”

Zhong Li replied flatly, “Who else could it be but my Senior Brother?”

Chen Ansheng nodded; it was indeed the Ghost Grandfather who had come. He really had the strength of a Celestial Immortal.

“The Xuanyang Immortal Mansion has considerable depth; your Senior Brother probably won’t last long.”

Looking at the dazzling battlefield ahead, Chen Ansheng expressed his concerns.

“Why worry about others? Take care of your own little life,” Zhong Li said, rolling her eyes at Chen Ansheng. “I almost forgot; being timid and small-minded is your nature, no need for extra reminders.”

“…”

Chen Ansheng had no reply.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ansheng focused his thoughts and summoned a black skeleton covered in entrails from his storage bag.

“Who is this!”

Seeing the pitiful skeleton, even Zhong Li couldn’t help but shudder.

“Lin Xian, Grand Young Master Lin. His celestial soul is gravely injured and hasn’t perished. What should we do?” Chen Ansheng asked.

Zhong Li’s eyes immediately brightened, “Don’t you have puppet techniques? Control him! He might be useful later!”
