"Is this... is this Pink?!"

"How is she still in this world?"

"It's Pink! Run for it!"

"..."

As soon as the Pink Emperor appeared, the Upper Realm powerhouses in the arena plunged into absolute panic. If the Azure Emperor was the most terrifying man in the Three Thousand Worlds of the Upper Realm, then the lady before them was its most terrifying woman!

The more beautiful she was, the more terrifying she was!

This peerlessly stunning woman had once single-handedly massacred the entire Lingtian Plateau!

Moments later, the Pink Emperor stood amidst the pile of corpses in the arena. She lifted her gaze toward the spatial rift ahead, her eyes full of reluctance.

"I'll be waiting for you in the future."

With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, she eradicated the spatial rift. She herself then transformed into motes of pink starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth, as if she had never been there at all.

「Somewhere in the Shanhai Territory.」

Zhōng Mùdào, who was in the middle of fleeing, suddenly furrowed his brow. He came to an abrupt stop and looked up at the vast sky. He had breathed a sigh of relief when the Pink Emperor didn't pursue him, but now, he was growing anxious again.

Tang Ao asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Zhōng Mùdào's expression was grim. "We're in trouble... The ancient path rift opened by the great powers' alliance has been eradicated. This must be Pink's doing!"

"Pink didn't hunt us down before, probably because she didn't take us seriously... I never expected her real objective was the other side of the ancient path rift."

Hearing this, Tang Ao staggered. "Does that mean... none of us can return to the Upper Realm?"

Zhōng Mùdào let out a long sigh. "It's no matter. We'll stay in the Lower Realm for the time being. As long as we're alive, anything is possible."

Tang Ao was disheartened. "We didn't catch the Pureblood Nine-Tailed Fox, nor did we get the Emperor's Blood. Master, where do we go now?"

Zhōng Mùdào said, "For now, we can only go check out the Ancient God Ruins and see if we can find any opportunities."

"..."

Not much time had passed when Luo Xiu woke up, astonished to find that the Blood Ban Seals on his chest had vanished. His memory was still stuck on the moment before the Pink Emperor knocked him out with a palm strike.

Could it be that she helped me remove the Blood Ban Seals?

Luo Xiu sat up, rubbing his chest as he muttered to himself. It was then that he realized the ground around him was filled with kneeling Fox Demons.

At their head were Yue Yong and Yue Zhan.

When the enormous hand had dragged Mount Green Hills into the Void, Yue Yong and Yue Zhan had been at the foot of the mountain, leading the Fox Clan warriors in maintaining the protective barrier, so they hadn't been taken.

After scanning the area, Luo Xiu pushed his weary body to its feet and asked, "What are you all kneeling for?"

Yue Yong suddenly kowtowed. "We just saw the Pink Emperor!"

Luo Xiu recalled the stunningly beautiful figure who had stepped out of the painting and felt a little intoxicated. "You saw the Pink Emperor, so why are you kneeling to me? I'm not the Pink Emperor."

"This..." Yue Yong was at a loss for words, unsure how to explain.

The Pink Emperor had knocked Luo Xiu out, kissed him, removed his Blood Ban Seals, and looked at him with such gentle eyes... From every angle, they looked like a pair of lovers. In their eyes, Luo Xiu was the Pink Emperor's man.

Luo Xiu turned to look at the seemingly endless basin and asked, "Mount Green Hills is gone. What will you do now?"

Yue Yong sighed. "I don't know either."

Luo Xiu suddenly thought of Su Shenyun and sighed as well. "I wonder how your king is doing."

Yue Yong replied, "You don't need to worry about that. The Pink Emperor is protecting all of Mount Green Hills, so she won't be in danger. It's just that... seeing her again will probably be very difficult."

Luo Xiu nodded lightly. "Let's hope so."

"Hehehehe... Little bastard, you didn't expect this, did you? This grandpa is still alive!"

Just then, a bizarre laugh echoed from the battlefield not far away.

Luo Xiu's brows furrowed as he recognized Zhu Hui's voice.

Yue Yong and the others immediately grew alert and grabbed their weapons.

Luo Xiu followed the sound with his eyes, only to see a blood-soaked Zhu Hui staggering toward them. In the previous battle, Yao Ritian had only managed to severely injure and knock down Zhu Hui, without getting the chance to kill him. After falling, Zhu Hui took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to devour some of the demons who weren't quite dead, which had saved his life.

Luo Xiu stared at the approaching Zhu Hui, his expression growing solemn.

The Blood Ban Seal had been removed by the Pink Emperor, but the Blood Ban Technique itself had not. That was a task only Luo Ying could perform. Therefore, Luo Xiu still couldn't use his full strength. What's more, his Divine Sense had been severely depleted, and he had no energy left to fight.

Yue Yong suddenly stepped in front of Luo Xiu, gritting his teeth. "You go first! I'll hold this scum back!"

Following his lead, a group of Fox Clan warriors charged forward, their demonic auras flaring as they prepared to unleash their Demon Arts.

Zhu Hui roared and charged forward in great strides.

"A bunch of little fox whelps, get out of this grandpa's way!"

His five-meter-tall body was like a rapidly advancing fortress. The ground seemed to tremble wherever he passed, and the Fox Clan warriors were sent flying back, screaming in pain.

Soon, Zhu Hui broke through their lines and stood before Luo Xiu. His expression was savage, and he stared at Luo Xiu with a fervent gaze, cackling, "I heard from the Heavenly God... you're the reincarnation of the Azure Emperor, and you carry the divine Emperor's Blood!"

Hearing this, the Fox Clan warriors all trembled, looking at Luo Xiu in disbelief.

So he was the Azure Emperor! No wonder the Pink Emperor had kissed him.

Zhu Hui gritted his teeth. "Back then, my ancestor was slain by a single strike of your sword! Today, I will devour you and avenge..."

However, before he could utter the word "him," his voice stopped short.

A crystal longsword had pierced through his back and emerged from his chest. His eyes filled with unwillingness as he slowly tried to turn around to see who had ambushed him.

But fate would not permit it.

His breathing ceased, and he collapsed to the ground.

As his towering body fell, a graceful figure appeared before Luo Xiu's eyes. It was Luo Ying!

Not far off, Dou Dou, Yaya, and the Three Bandits of Thunder Swamp were also running quickly toward them.

"Young Master!"

Luo Ying suddenly dashed forward and threw herself into Luo Xiu's arms. But Luo Xiu was extremely weak and unsteady on his feet; he was immediately tackled to the ground by Luo Ying.

A sweet, milky fragrance filled his nostrils, and Luo Xiu instantly felt a sense of suffocation.

"Ying'er... I don't want to die among the peonies... Get up... I can't take it."

Luo Xiu struggled weakly, pushing Luo Ying off him before sitting up and gasping for air. He silently lamented that he had narrowly avoided making history—as the first man to be smothered to death by a woman's bosom.

Luo Ying's pretty face flushed red as she helped Luo Xiu up. "Young Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It's a good thing you arrived in time."

A small golden pagoda suddenly flew through the air. "Elder Brother, Elder Brother! This Fire Dragon corpse is a real treasure trove! Can I swallow it?! If I refine it into Dao Yuan, we'll split it evenly!"
