📖 Chapter 1036 - Attack!

21 Jul, 2023

Almost as soon as Xu Yinling appeared, strands of divine sense suddenly stretched out from Planet Heaven’s Mandate. Obviously, they knew Xu Yingling was here and wanted to greet her.

The owners of these strands of divine sense were merely Planet Realm cultivators, but they were all extraordinary. They quickly approached with fierce momentum.

When he saw this scene, Wang Baole could pretty much guess what was going on. Xu Yinling’s arrival definitely wasn’t a coincidence; she knew that he would come, so she had hidden herself and waited for his arrival. As for the reason why she would do that… obviously, she wanted to flirt with him and cause other people to form misunderstandings about their relationship.

Like this, she could create enemies for him and wait for an opportunity to accomplish her goal.

After all, back in the Starfall Realm, their Dao Planets had competed with each other, and Wang Baole had even duplicated Xu Yinling’s unique natural law of paper. Thus, although they weren’t exactly in a situation where only one could live, Xu Yinling still held strong killing intent toward him.

Moreover, Wang Baole had already confirmed the strange sense of familiarity and dislike that he’d always felt for Xu Yinling. It was highly possible that she was related to the Star-Seeding Dao.

However, Wang Baole didn’t care about any of that. Instead, a bright light flickered through his eyes, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

‘Maybe I should just go ahead and suppress my entire generation. I wonder if that will improve the domineering aspect of my Star-Sealing Art?’

At the same time, when Wang Baole heard Little Missy scold Xu Yinling, he felt relieved. Recently, Little Missy’s emotions had seemed somewhat unstable. Wang Baole had been with her for so many years, and there was also that father-in-law^[1] of his to worry about, so he was always looking for ways to improve her mood.

However, although Wang Baole was skilled in flattery and knew all the words to make a person happy, he had sweet-talked Little Missy too many times in the past, so he was worried that she would end up gaining a resistance. Thus, he went the opposite way this time; instead of feeding her positive emotions, he used Xu Yinling as a target to let her vent her negative emotions. Looking at the results, this approach seemed to be somewhat effective.

That was why he didn’t counterattack when faced with Xu Yinling’s maliciously spoken sugar-coated words. Otherwise, with Wang Baole’s personality, he would have swallowed such words and thrown them right back.

After clearing his throat, Wang Baole looked at the smiling Xu Yinling and shook his head slightly. He was about to speak, but before he could say anything, Xu Yinling covered her mouth with a hand and laughed out loud.

“Big Brother Baole, I know what you’re going to say. Back in the Starfall Realm, you told me that you wanted us to become Dao companions. After considering it, I think that we… should start as friends. Is that all right?”

As soon as she spoke, Wang Baole instantly sensed fluctuations in the several strands of divine sense that came from Planet Heaven’s Mandate. However, he just shook his head.

“Sorry, but that isn’t what I was going to say. I wanted to say that… you’re a step too late. In my heart, there is a big sister who I have the utmost respect for, who makes me feel ashamed of my inferiority. Her heart is full of love, but she’s too embarrassed to say it. Just now, she gave me a reminder, telling me that… you’re nothing but a slut!”

Xu Yinling’s eyes flashed when she heard that, but she immediately bit her lower lip and sighed softly.

“Baole, even if there’s no fate between us, I would only blame the will of heaven for toying with us mortals. But why do you have to humiliate me like this?” As she spoke, Xu Yinling lowered her head, appearing completely disappointed as she flew past Wang Baole on her giant peacock.

Wang Baole’s pupils contracted slightly when he heard her words. He realized that after leaving the Starfall Realm, Xu Yinling’s scheming had become deeper. Originally, he’d simply thought that she was treating him ambiguously in order to arouse the hatred of her suitors. That was why he’d deliberately spoken such words and directly cut off any hint of a relationship with her.

But Xu Yinling’s reaction was extremely quick, and she instantly made it look like she had been deeply humiliated. Thus, her suitors would still have a reason to pick a fight with Wang Baole.

“You’re so annoying!” Wang Baole raised his eyebrows. He no longer cared about being polite and blatantly revealed a disgusted expression.

“I don’t think of you that way. Xu Yinling, please conduct yourself with dignity. I hope that you won’t come bother me again!”

“You…” Xu Yingling paused when she heard that and couldn’t help but turn her head to look back at Wang Baole.

Meanwhile, sonic booms rang out from the direction of Planet Heaven’s Mandate, and the owners of the strands of divine sense suddenly arrived. Each of them gave off an extraordinary aura, and be it their clothes or their bearing, it was obvious that all of them were Chosen.

This was even more true for one of them in particular. He had long golden hair and wore a golden robe, and his whole body radiated boundless light, as if he were the incarnation of the sun. Just standing there, the surrounding space instantly heated up, and his gaze was even more heated as he looked at Xu Yinling with a bright smile on his face.

“Junior Sister Yinling, I’ve been waiting for you for many days. You’re finally here.”

“Yinling greets Senior Brother Sun Yang. Senior Brother, thank you for coming to pick me up. Let’s… let’s go.”

Xu Yinling seemed dazed as she lowered her head and spoke softly.

Her pitiful expression fell into the eyes of everyone in the surroundings. Several of the newcomers revealed angry looks, including Sun Yang. He immediately turned to look at Wang Baole. Before arriving, he’d already heard the conversation between Wang Baole and Xu Yinling. Now, his eyes flickered slightly, and his expression slowly became cold as he spoke indifferently.

“Wang Baole, was it? A beautiful woman is in love with you. It’s one thing if you don’t cherish her, but you actually spoke so viciously. Today, I don’t care about your background and only want to speak about righteousness. I, along with my Fellow Daoists here, want you to… apologize to Junior Sister Yinling!”

As soon as his words rang out, a sharp aura immediately erupted from his body and locked on to Wang Baole. At the same time, the other newcomers did the same, causing several more threatening auras to fall on Wang Baole’s body.

The commotion attracted the attention of some of the birthday attendees who had already arrived on Planet Heaven’s Mandate, and they all spread their divine sense out to watch the fun.

Wang Baole slowly narrowed his eyes. He looked at Xu Yinling’s beautiful face and pitiful expression, then at Sun Yang, who seemed to be full of righteous indignation at the mistreatment of a beauty.

A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Wang Baole could see everything clearly – these Chosen obviously weren’t so dumb as to be misled by Xu Yinling. However, although they wanted Wang Baole’s Dao Planet, they were also wary of his master, the Flame Patriarch. Thus, they would frame their conflict with Wang Baole as pure jealousy. This way, the older generation wouldn’t have an excuse to intervene, and they could attack without worry.

Thus, they willingly jumped into the trap Xu Yinling set.

After all, if they wanted to deal with today’s Wang Baole, they needed a reason that could prevent his elders from taking action to protect him.

‘They’re just pretending to be clever. Given Master’s personality, as well as the situation on the Raging Flame Chief Planet, there’s no need for him to care about reasons at all.’ Wang Baole sneered, and a bright light flashed through his eyes. His enemies’ methods seemed smart, but in reality, they were also restricting their own elders.

Smiling brighter and brighter, Wang Baole felt that this trip to Planet Heaven’s Mandate was indeed becoming interesting. He ignored both Xu Yinling and Sun Yang, instead looking at the battle-ready Xie Haiyang beside him and speaking lightly.

“Let’s go.” As he spoke, Wang Baole ignored the crowd and began flying to Planet Heaven’s Mandate. But as soon as he moved, Sun Yang’s eyes flickered with cold light, and he quickly jumped out to block him. The other Chosen also flew over and blocked Wang Baole’s way.

At the same time, strands of divine sense that belonged to their Dao Protectors instantly spread out from Planet Heaven’s Mandate, locking on to Wang Baole’s location.

“Seniors, please don’t participate. This is a matter between us juniors!” With Sun Yang’s words, the Dao Protectors’ divine sense immediately switched targets, from Wang Baole to the Scorching Spirit Ancestor and the others behind him.

The Scorching Spirit Ancestor and Wang Baole’s other Dao Protectors all turned gloomy, seeing that they were outnumbered. At the same time, Sun Yang stared at Wang Baole and slowly spoke.

“Apologize to Junior Sister Yinling!”

The other Chosen in the surroundings also spoke out one by one.

"Apologize!"

The voices of the crowd formed a shocking force that pressed down on Wang Baole. At the same time, ships from other forces who had just arrived quickly approached to watch the commotion.

More and more strands of divine sense stretched out from Planet Heaven’s Mandate and locked on to this place. With all of this attention being placed on them, Sun Yang thought that Wang Baole would definitely end up fighting with him for the sake of not losing face.

After all, even he himself would do the same if in Wang Baole’s position. For Chosen like them, the importance of face couldn’t be understated!

However, it was obvious that he didn’t know much about Wang Baole…
