Chapter 665: Chapter 665 - 654: Xiaobai and Dahei Join the Battle_2

Just as Xiaosuisui was thinking this, she suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"Something seems to have entered the Array."

"What... what is it?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Youzhi immediately took a defensive stance.

"This aura feels very familiar. It doesn’t seem human!" After calming himself and sensing it, Ji Youzhi suddenly said.

Xiaosuisui nodded. "This should be Dahei’s aura!"

"Dahei?"

Ji Youzhi was very surprised. "How did it get in? If I’m not mistaken, it should be categorized as a Demon, right?"

Xiaosuisui nodded. "The Celestial Dao is locked in this world. No one can cultivate to the point where they can ascend, and it is the same for Demons. So, when Dahei reached the point where it had to transform into a Jiao, no Celestial Thunder descended."

"That day on Black Water Ridge, it was supposed to die. But I protected it with my own great fortune, so it didn’t disappear from this world. Now, it has followed us into this Array of Heaven; its future seems uncertain!"

At Xiaosuisui’s sigh, Ji Youzhi felt very uncomfortable. "What sorcery is this empathetic insight of yours? After you cultivated it, I always feel like you’re muttering profound things. The way you talk, you always sound so old and wise."

He was not used to this kind of niece! He always felt like a fool in front of her!

"I..."

Xiaosuisui opened her mouth and waved her hand a few times. Quickly, a large, black, barrel-like creature wriggled its way to Xiaosuisui’s side.

It coiled itself up, pressing against Xiaosuisui and encircling her, trying to offer her some warmth.

"Dahei! You snakes are naturally cold-bodied creatures; your body can’t provide me with warmth!"

She sighed helplessly.

Her words had barely faded when a booming voice echoed from a distance.

"If Master needs warmth, naturally, it’s my fur that will make her feel warm!"

A round, white furball, like a rolling sphere, darted out and went directly into Xiaosuisui’s arms.

"Xiaobai! How did you come too?"

"I didn’t particularly want to come. You always find a way out, no matter what. But since this damned black-pelt ran in, that introduces a significant variable. I can’t just stand by and watch you die in here, can I?"

At Xiaobai’s words, both Xiaosuisui’s and Ji Youzhi’s eyes lit up.

"Do you know how to break the Array?"

Both their voices were filled with excitement.

"Sure! Just break through this Array of Heaven and proceed to the Dragon-Locking Array. Break them both, and then the Array of Heaven will be broken."

Xiaosuisui’s mouth twitched, and she quickly said, "What I want now is not to break through this Array of Heaven, but to retreat safely! Do you have a way?"

At Xiaosuisui’s question, Xiaobai asked in bewilderment, "Master, why would you want to retreat from the Array of Heaven?"

"Because I feel that the time is not right to break the Dragon-Locking Array!"

"The time is not right? Does Master intend to protect the people on Yunzhou Island?"

Xiaosuisui nodded. "They are all my maternal grandmother’s kin. Besides, there are too many lives on Yunzhou Island. If we break this Array, we will have to bear an immense amount of karma."

Xiaobai curled up in Xiaosuisui’s arms, not saying a word.

At this point, Ji Youzhi finally reacted, crying out, "Sui...Suisui! They... they can... they can actually talk!"

Xiaosuisui looked up, regarding Ji Youzhi with an expression one might reserve for someone utterly naive.

"Seventh Uncle, all things possess a spirit. Is it really so strange that Xiaobai and Dahei can speak?"

Ji Youzhi silently scratched his head. That makes a lot of sense! Indeed, his beloved niece is the smartest!

"Master, please meditate and rest well. The Array Eye of this Array of Heaven won’t manifest for another three days. During these few days, you should diligently consolidate your Cultivation!"

"Three days, such a long time!"

Ji Youzhi, like a wilted eggplant, sat down next to Xiaosuisui and began to meditate.

Three days passed, enough time for many things to occur.

「On a certain ship at sea」

The awakened Emperor was vehemently cursing the National Master.

"Feng Wushang! You dare to deceive your Emperor! Are you tired of living?"

The Emperor was so enraged that he pointed his folding fan at the National Master and began to berate him furiously!

"Turn around! Turn around! Go find my precious daughter at once! She is my Great Han’s Lucky Star. How could you just abandon her?"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Although the Lucky Star of Great Han is indeed the Eldest Princess, my disciple Li Yanyan also possesses great fortune. Although she is somewhat inferior to the Eldest Princess, her innate talent is not poor. As long as this humble servant instructs her well, her future will certainly be limitless!"

The National Master’s words made Li Yanyan, who was hiding nearby, curve her lips into a smile. Indeed, without Li Suisui, I would be the one with the greatest fortune in the world. The Emperor should confer the title of Eldest Princess upon me! That would be wonderful. I’ll be a royal princess in the future. Then, won’t those people from the Li Family be trampled under my feet? And the Ji Family! Back in Ling Village, if it weren’t for Li Suisui’s maternal grandmother—that old, undying hag from the Ji Family—how could Li Suisui still be alive?

This sudden thought startled Li Yanyan herself. She quickly covered her mouth and patted her head. When had she ever had such ideas before? Why now, all of a sudden?

Li Yanyan couldn’t help but swallow, then turned and ran into her room.

Outside, the conversation between the National Master and the Emperor continued.

"Your Majesty! The Array of Heaven is no small matter. This humble servant has made a divination; it concerns the Celestial Dao and is an omen of great disaster! You are the revered Son of Heaven; how can you personally venture into such peril?"
