Lady Si cried out in surprise, simultaneously weeping and laughing.
She had already accepted the reality and was waiting for the inevitable, deadly outcome, never expecting such a massive reversal to suddenly occur.
The surge of emotion within her was too great for her to control her feelings.
She never imagined that this young man, Li Xuanxiao, possessed such strength!
From his appearance until now, only three minutes had passed, yet he had already swept away ten Yuan Realm Demon Venerables like crushing dry weeds!
And those were not ordinary Demon Venerables; they were Yuan Realm Demon Venerables from the Myriad Demon Nation!
Their strength was clearly a significant cut above the local demons of Dayu.
Yet, before Li Xuanxiao, they couldn't even last a single minute...
She turned to look at her husband, Si Bingwen, wrapped her arms around his neck, and flashed a seductive smile.
For a powerful existence like Li Xuanxiao to willingly work under her husband's command.
Doesn't that mean her husband is even more formidable?
"Husband, you are truly amazing!"
Si Bingwen was utterly bewildered, wondering what kind of nonsense his wife was spouting.
I just stood on the side watching the show the whole time; I didn't help at all!
How did I become amazing?
"How am I amazing?"
Lady Si tapped Si Bingwen's nose: "Li Xuanxiao is clearly so powerful, yet he willingly works under you. Are you still not amazing?"
Si Bingwen raised an eyebrow, bewildered upon bewildered: "Can it be calculated like that?"
Thinking about it that way, I really am quite impressive!
After an intimate moment with Si Bingwen, Lady Si turned to look at Si Miaoyin, who was standing nearby.
If she remembered correctly, her daughter had been preoccupied and heavy-hearted ever since returning from Pei Prefecture.
She had even mentioned Li Xuanxiao's name multiple times in conversation, which led her to tease her daughter several times back then.
She even suspected that her daughter might have been infatuated with this young man!
Lady Si recalled the past events, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Now, seeing Li Xuanxiao's performance, she instantly realized that her daughter's judgment was exceptionally good!
She had seen Li Xuanxiao's immense potential so early on!
Now that Li Xuanxiao had revealed such astonishing strength, surely Miaoyin would be very happy too?
Lady Si looked towards Si Miaoyin, only to find her staring blankly at Li Xuanxiao, her expression more complex than ever before.
Admiration, joy, shock, unfamiliarity...
Lady Si was somewhat confused and a little worried: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Si Miaoyin just shook her head, quietly retracted her gaze, her mood feeling rather mixed.
The young man who once emerged from a small city had unexpectedly reached such a level.
From struggling to kill even one Xuan Realm Demon King, to now effortlessly slaying Yuan Realm Demon Venerables...
From being terrified and clinging to her when ascending even one level, to now being able to fight in the heavens as if strolling in a courtyard...
From being unknown, to now being the focus of countless gazes...
Such terrifying speed of progress in such a short time.
He was the Genius, the Prodigy in everyone's eyes...
As... a friend.
She was genuinely happy and delighted for Li Xuanxiao's achievements from the bottom of her heart.
But for some unknown reason, her heart also felt inexplicably a bit lost, a bit sad.
The youth who used to walk alongside her, the youth who asked her for a flying Cultivation Technique, the youth who consulted her with questions...
He had become so dazzling!
But it seemed he was also growing further and further away from her...
As if she had lost something important, or like the feeling of unfamiliar distance when meeting a familiar childhood friend again...
Si Miaoyin's mood inexplicably sank: "Father, Mother, I feel a bit tired. I'm going back to my room to rest."
Lady Si touched Si Miaoyin's forehead with worry. Her temperature was normal; she didn't seem sick.
After repeatedly instructing her, she nodded and watched her daughter leave.
"Husband, Miaoyin seems a bit unwell. Should you ask someone to check on her?"
Si Bingwen glanced at Si Miaoyin's receding back: "What's there to check? Didn't she say she's a bit tired? After such a major event, with such extreme emotional ups and downs, feeling tired is very normal, isn't it?"
Lady Si didn't think so. Si Miaoyin's change began the moment she saw Li Xuanxiao.
Before, when the Demon Venerables invaded, she hadn't shown any abnormality.
After all, she was a woman, and her mind was far more delicate than Si Bingwen's could compare.
She had a vague guess in her heart, but she also had no good solution.
The matter of emotion was the hardest thing to decipher.
Her girl had reached the age where she could be troubled by love...
...
After eliminating the ten Demon Venerables, Li Xuanxiao descended to the ground under the gaze of the masses and walked up to one of the Demon Venerables.
He took out a message-transmitting jade talisman: "Southern Demon, where are your Demon Venerables? Why don't I see them?"
The jade talisman vibrated, and a reply came quickly: "The Demon Venerable Lord already went, but he was injured by the Demon Venerables from the Myriad Demon Nation. They are hiding and recuperating far away."
So that's how it is... Li Xuanxiao sent another voice message: "It's all over! We agreed to devour ten Demon Venerables, and the Demon Venerable corpses are lying outside the Dayu Royal City right now."
"Tell them to come and take them away!"
The Southern Demon replied almost instantly: "The Demon Venerable Lord dares not go! They said a fierce figure has arrived in Dayu, and he is too terrifying."
Li Xuanxiao was immediately surprised and looked around: "Where is the fierce figure? Why don't I see any fierce figure?"
Southern Demon: "The Demon Venerable Lord said that fierce figure seems to be a disciple of the Buddhist Sect. As soon as he appeared, there were chanting sounds everywhere, directly'saving' the ten Demon Venerables!"
"Fortunately, the few Demon Venerable Lords were far away at the time, otherwise they might have died prematurely..."
Li Xuanxiao was stunned when he heard this, then found it amusing. It's like he was essentially looking for his own phone while holding it.
The fierce figure was actually himself!
He scratched his head sheepishly; he didn't bother explaining. After all, telling others that the fierce figure was him would be quite awkward.
"Tell the Demon Venerables to come. I've already explained your situation to the fierce figure. He won't make things difficult for your Demon Venerable Lords."
The message jade talisman immediately fell silent. Li Xuanxiao guessed that the Southern Demon was probably contacting the Demon Venerables of the Three Nations.
As expected, not long after, three Demon Venerables arrived together.
They maintained a relatively slow flying speed, looking at Li Xuanxiao with eyes full of vigilance and fear.
The apprehension in their eyes was obvious to anyone.
If Li Xuanxiao made any move at this moment, they would probably turn tail and flee.
Li Xuanxiao found it amusing when he saw them. Really? I don't eat people!
This scene was also noticed by many Martial Artists who were watching Li Xuanxiao.
"Those three Demon Venerables that disappeared mysteriously earlier have actually returned!"
"Aren't they just lighting a lamp in the latrine, courting death?"
"Lord Li Xuanxiao is probably going to instantly eliminate all three Demon Venerables!"
Many Martial Artists looked on as if watching a good show, eagerly anticipating Li Xuanxiao displaying his Divine Might and directly defeating the three Demon Venerables!
However, the scene that followed was like a small knife cutting the buttock—they were wide-eyed!
