Chapter 986: Chapter 986

Crimson Nine Lands sighed helplessly, saying, "The entrance to the Demon Domain isn’t small, and half of the immortals went to offer sacrifices to seal the entrance, while the other half stayed behind to fend off the Demon Clan’s army at the Demon Domain’s borders. The battlefield is vast and chaotic, even if he quietly slipped away, who would have seen it? Even if someone did, they wouldn’t live to speak of it."

"This person is truly wicked!" Yun Jianchu stomped his foot in anger.

Crimson Nine Lands swallowed nervously, looking at Siheng and cautiously saying, "Jifeng Celestial Sovereign, I assure you, this really has nothing to do with me."

Then, he hurriedly grabbed Chu Yang’s sleeve, fearing that he might be abandoned because of the current situation.

Siheng couldn’t be bothered to argue with Crimson Nine Lands.

He felt uneasy. "This Keyang Celestial Emperor has likely not fallen yet. He was the one who predicted the events unfolding today and now seems intent on taking out A’Li and her child. His cultivation is above mine, and we still don’t know where he is. This is troubling."

Crimson Nine Lands muttered, "Exactly..."

After all, this was a Celestial Emperor-level figure. He probably even knew when Siheng would be in the bathroom, thanks to his powerful divination abilities.

Cinian sighed with a "Amitabha," looking worried. "From what we can see, this Keyang Celestial Emperor is indeed ruthless and treacherous. He might strike again."

He glanced at Nanli’s pregnant belly, clearly concerned.

Normally, no one would be able to endure such a situation. Fortunately, Siheng had returned in time to suppress many of the immortal cultivators, otherwise, Yun Yubai wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed.

Siheng turned and said, "You mustn’t leave Jialan for the time being."

However, Nanli had already pulled out a set of Five Emperors Coins and a turtle shell, casually shaking them as she said, "Speaking of divination, I’m not bad at it either. Let me give it a try."

Siheng’s lips twitched, "Who are you divining for?"

"Of course, for Keyang."

"You’re going to divine for an immortal? Can you even do that?" Siheng raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"My cultivation isn’t much, but I do have some divine power. Divining for an immortal isn’t that hard."

As she spoke, Nanli began shaking the Five Emperors Coins in the turtle shell. After frowning for a moment, she was visibly shocked.

Everyone crowded around her.

Yun Jianchu, who was standing closest, asked eagerly, "What’s the result? Is that wicked Keyang going to die tomorrow?"

Crimson Nine Lands, who didn’t get along with Nanli, rolled his eyes and said, "What realm is he at? How could he fall so easily? Stop dreaming!"

But Nanli simply replied, "Keyang has already shown signs of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. His lifespan is coming to an end, and it really does look like he’s going to die tomorrow."

"..." Everyone fell silent.

Siheng paused for a moment before recovering and asking, "Are you sure your divination is correct? After all, Keyang is a Celestial Emperor, divining his fate might come with errors."

Under his gaze, Nanli began to doubt herself. She pointed to one of the Five Emperors Coins and added, "Maybe we should check with him. This coin shows where he is right now."

Siheng nodded, "Then tell me, I’ll go take a look."

"I want to go too," Nanli said eagerly.

"No," Siheng immediately refused with a serious face. "The divination could be wrong. If Keyang still harbors any intent to harm you, you and the child would be in danger."

It was better to be cautious.

Yun Jianchu also persuaded her, "This time, I agree with him. Keyang’s scheming is more profound than even my father’s. Let him go check first. Once he ensures it’s safe, you can go."

"Alright," Nanli finally agreed.

After all, she wasn’t strong enough at the moment.

She handed the Five Emperors Coin to Siheng. "This will guide you."

By now, night had completely fallen.

Since the divination showed that Keyang’s time was nearly up, Siheng couldn’t wait until tomorrow to leave. However, just as he moved, he suddenly turned back.

"Wait, I have to finish that chicken leg and stir-fried meat before I go."

Yun Yubai suddenly remembered, licking his lips. "Oh yeah, I brought the wine back!"

Cinian perked up his ears. "Is there food? How come I didn’t know?"

Chu Yang, who had been sulking, became slightly confused. "Stir-fried chicken leg meat? From the kitchen? Didn’t Sixth Sister eat it all?"

Siheng froze for a moment.

Although A’Li was his beloved, he couldn’t help but think...

That had been the best chicken leg meat he had ever eaten, and he hadn’t had nearly enough!

It wasn’t just Siheng; even Yun Yubai was struck by disbelief, as if life had lost its meaning.

Seeing their expressions, Nanli couldn’t help but feel like she had committed some unforgivable sin.

Before Yun Jianchu could start scolding them, she turned away, her shoulders shaking as she choked out, "Children, who would have thought that just a single plate of chicken legs would lead to such disdain? I suppose I’ll stay here from now on; there might never be another full meal for me."

The two immediately panicked.

Yun Yubai moved his lips, but thinking of his identity, he stayed where he was.

Siheng immediately went over. "What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever disliked you? Whatever you want to eat, just eat. There’s still chicken soup simmering in the pot, and it’s all for you."

Nanli didn’t even turn around, using her sleeve to cover her face as if she were crying in sorrow.

"No, if I eat, you’ll be upset."

"How could that be? It’s just chicken soup, made by my sister for you to enjoy," Siheng said. "No one is going to fight you for it."

"Is that the only chicken soup? Is there no more?" Nanli asked, her voice small.

"Pearl Divine Chicken is out for now..." Siheng said. Then, noticing Nanli looking even sadder, he quickly added, "Jialan Celestial Mountain doesn’t have any divine chicken left, but I’ll go to other places to look. I’ll definitely find some new divine chicken to bring back so you can have fresh chicken soup every day. How does that sound?"

Nanli immediately stopped crying.

She lowered her sleeve, turned around, and smiled widely, with no trace of tears on her face and no redness in her eyes.

"You promised. You can’t go back on your word."

The smell of the chicken soup wafted all the way to Jady Pearl Peak.

She had been woken up by the craving during her nap.

That’s why she had gone to the kitchen to take a look. Yun Jianchu had told her the soup wasn’t ready, so she had just eaten a few bites of chicken leg meat to satisfy her craving.

Who knew she wouldn’t be able to stop?

In the blink of an eye, she had devoured the entire plate, leaving her still craving more!

Now she understood why Siheng and Yun Yubai had such expressions before.

If she had only had a taste and wasn’t able to eat more, she would have felt hopeless too!

Siheng saw that she wasn’t really crying but was pretending to be sad. His lips twitched. "A’Li, when did you learn this trick?"

"I’ve learned a little from you over time," Nanli winked, teasing him.

Siheng awkwardly scratched his head, not sure how to respond.

At that moment, someone laughed out loud, of course, it was Chu Yang, who wasn’t afraid of causing trouble or death: "Celestial Sovereign’s brother-in-law, don’t you think my Sixth Sister has learned quite well?"

Siheng was completely helpless. "Indeed, she’s quite good."

He cleared his throat lightly, feeling too awkward to stay.

With the Five Emperors Coin in hand, he quickly took his leave.

But Nanli called out after him, "Don’t forget the Pearl Divine Chicken!"
