"If you don’t behave, I, the Emperor, will leave you here all alone!"

Seeing that Ye Mei was being disobedient, Bai Xiaofan threatened her!

"Then... then be gentle!"

Left with no choice, Ye Mei obediently turned around, her small hands covering her face, her voice almost inaudible!

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out, and Ye Mei nearly cried out from the pain!

"Didn’t I ask you to be gentle?"

Ye Mei turned around, her face flushed, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, and softly questioned Bai Xiaofan!

"What gentle? Did I, the Emperor, use any strength?"

Bai Xiaofan sat cross-legged, confused, without any expression of pity, leaving Ye Mei trembling with anger!

"You didn’t use strength? Surely it’s swollen!"

Ye Mei puffed up her cheeks, glaring at Bai Xiaofan, feeling the burning pain from her bottom, wishing to rush over and fight Bai Xiaofan!

Soul-sucker, how dare you bully people like this?

"Is it swollen? Then come over and let Uncle Master take a look. It won’t hurt once Uncle Master massages it!"

As Bai Xiaofan spoke, he stretched out his arms, making a gesture to embrace Ye Mei!

Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s actions, hearing his words, for some reason, Ye Mei’s face flushed again, and she even felt a bit hopeful inside!

"Dream on, I won’t let you take advantage of me!"

Ye Mei charmingly gave Bai Xiaofan a sidelong glance, turning her face to the side, but her heart pounded uncontrollably!

Regarding Ye Mei’s words, Bai Xiaofan just smiled lightly, closed his eyes to meditate, and his Divine Sense spread out, probing everything around!

Seeing Bai Xiaofan close his eyes, Ye Mei once again quietly turned her head to secretly watch Bai Xiaofan!

After a while, Silver Clothes and Yuan’er woke up from meditation, and upon careful listening, indeed, there was no sound around!

What they didn’t know was that the shadow Bai Xiaofan chased away earlier was actually a night demon that could disrupt a cultivator’s mind through sound waves!

The lower the cultivation level, the more susceptible the cultivator is to interference, which could lead to mental instability and possibly losing their life!

Silver Clothes and Yuan’er’s cultivation levels were much lower compared to Ye Mei, so the mind-disrupting effects were indeed useful for them!

Bai Xiaofan had them enter a meditative state to clear their minds, then went personally to chase away that night demon!

"Let’s continue on our journey. Although the beasts ahead are no longer a threat, you must be even more cautious as the true enemy has just appeared!"

Once all three girls woke up, Bai Xiaofan opened his eyes and spoke softly before taking the lead to move forward!

After walking about ten kilometers, the surrounding poisonous gas had thickened to an extremely terrifying level!

Even experts like Silver Clothes and Ye Mei, both at the Broken Spirit Realm, could only follow Yuan’er’s lead and not dare to stray too far from Bai Xiaofan, relying on Bai Xiaofan’s Protective Gang Qi to maintain safety!

"Master Bai, at this rate, we might not be able to hold on for much longer. This poisonous gas is too powerful; without your protection, my celestial energy can at most withstand it for an hour!"

"I’m not much better. With my late-stage Broken Spirit cultivation, I can at most endure for an hour under this poisonous atmosphere, and that’s assuming we don’t encounter enemies. If we do, I might barely last ten minutes!"

Feeling the increasingly dense poisonous atmosphere around, Silver Clothes and Ye Mei spoke in hushed tones!

"Which is why your cultivation levels are still too low. Look at I, the Emperor, not affected at all, right? If it weren’t for taking care of you, I wouldn’t even bother to release this Protective Gang Qi!"

Hearing Silver Clothes and Ye Mei’s words, Bai Xiaofan flung his sleeve coolly and spoke casually!

Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s demeanor, Yuan’er and the other two girls rolled their eyes in unison, as if they had coordinated beforehand!

"What’s with those expressions?"

Seeing the expressions of the three girls, Bai Xiaofan turned back to look at them, questioning with displeasure!

"Master, we don’t mean anything by it. Don’t overthink it; let’s just hurry along!"

Yuan’er spoke sweetly, while also holding Bai Xiaofan’s arm, shaking it cutely!

"Master Bai is showing off again, it’s unbearable!"

"Why does Uncle Master Bai always show off? It’s truly puzzling!"

"There’s no choice; ever since I knew the Master, he’s either showing off or on his way to show off!"

Seeing Bai Xiaofan continue to walk forward, Yuan’er, Silver Clothes, and Ye Mei discussed softly among themselves!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Just as their conversation ended, they felt a sudden sharp pain on their bottoms, instinctively looking at Bai Xiaofan, who was walking calmly ahead as if nothing had happened!

Despite this, the three girls were well aware that the slap on their bottoms must have been Bai Xiaofan’s doing, as he was the only one present with such a habit, and only Bai Xiaofan had the capability to slap the bottom of late-stage Broken Spirit experts without being noticed!

The girls wanted to say something more, but due to Bai Xiaofan’s tactics, they could only keep silent!

Eerie laughter echoed around them...

Just then, sinister laughter came from all directions, clearly reaching everyone’s ears!

Hearing the sound, Yuan’er and the other three girls immediately stopped, gripping their Longswords cautiously on guard!

Bai Xiaofan stood calmly, one hand behind his back, his gaze fixed ahead!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, several figures emerged from the poisonous fog, targeting Bai Xiaofan and his group!

"Attack!"

Seeing the enemy coming, Ye Mei shouted fiercely, leaping forward, wielding her Longsword as she attacked!

Silver Clothes and Yuan’er followed closely behind, charging towards the enemy with Ye Mei!

One of the figures bypassed the three women, heading straight for Bai Xiaofan!

As the enemy approached, Bai Xiaofan frowned slightly. The appearance of the ghost demon confirmed everything he had suspected!

Just as the ghost demon was about to strike Bai Xiaofan, he took a step back, raising his palm to strike the demon’s shoulder!

With a muffled thud, the demon’s body was sent flying backward! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Bai Xiaofan then stepped forward, catching up with the retreating demon, raising his palm again to strike its head!

This ghost demon was also a strong expert at the Broken Spirit Realm, so the moment Bai Xiaofan’s palm forced it back, it was already wary of Bai Xiaofan’s next move!

Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s palm coming down again, the demon had no hesitation, raising both its palms to meet Bai Xiaofan’s, its momentum fierce!
