"..." Li Suo was in a good mood when she returned to the Sky Poison Pearl and happened to hear what he said the moment she did.
Her expression sank, her lips curling into a smile. It was a beautiful smile, but anyone who saw it right now would feel very, very scared.
"If that kid is a granny, then what am I? Did he just indirectly call me an old hag?"
Next to her, a thick dark aura radiated from Hei Xiaolian. She had been extremely sensitive about her age recently after being roasted by Hong'er. Her cheeks twitched as her lips curled into an ugly smile.
Clack!
"Num... num... num... Hehehe, Big brother is screwed!" Munching on a large, heavy sword as if it were made of cake, Hong'er watched the two women's silent fury and laughed.
"Screwed... He is screwed," You'er nodded cutely, moving her head as she agreed with her sister.
Outside the Sky Poison Pearl, the reactions of the other women were no better than those of the two Primordial Beings. The hands wrapped around Yun Wuji suddenly tightened with terrifying force, enough to crush a black hole. At the same time, the two figures clinging to him from both sides pinched his waist together. An aura of death seemed to radiate from the three of them.
"Honey, can you repeat what you just said?" Hua Qingying's gentle and infatuated look turned into sharp, cold eyes. The space around her seemed to be shredded apart by invisible layers of sword aura.
"Ehh? I said something? Why don't I seem to remember?" Yun Wuji tried to ignore the sharp pain at his waist and the choking neck lock wrapped around his neck. If it were not for his strong bones, his neck might have already been broken by now.
'Shit! I have grown rusty recently!' Even someone with frightening genius like him could sometimes make mistakes. Yun Wuji cursed his own thoughtlessness. There were so many ways to poke fun at Hua Caili, so why did he have to choose the stupidest one?!
"Really? I seem to have heard you talking about that girl's age?" Yun Wuying's figure appeared from behind. She stared at Yun Wuji with an indifferent look, her voice cold, very cold.
Compared to the others, she was the oldest being here. If a ten-thousand-year-old kid were a granny, then what was she? An undying fossil?
"Hahaha! It must have been your imagination! I absolutely didn't say anything at all!" Yun Wuji laughed awkwardly. There was no way he would admit that he had even spoken. There was no proof in the first place. And even if there were proof, he absolutely would not admit it!
Yes. He would endure it and thicken his skin. He was the Great Limitless Emperor. Anything he said was the truth!
"Really?" Yun Wuying, Hua Qingying, Shenwu Qing, Shenwu Youluan, and Su Shang all surrounded him, leaning closer until their faces were barely a few inches away, staring directly at him with cold, judgmental eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Facing these glacial eyes, capable of sending the entire world into another ice age, the strongest man in the universe, the destined ruler of everything in existence, finally succumbed and lowered his head.
"Wuji, for saying something this insensitive, you need to be punished." Pulling his ear, Shenwu Youluan whispered in a low, husky voice.
"Punishing me? That's ridiculous! Can you even punish me?" Yun Wuji wanted to stand his ground. He was about to jump to his feet, but Yun Wuying's grip and cold smile froze him in place. Forcing a smile, he asked, "What do you guys have in mind?"
'It's not because I'm afraid! Absolutely not! It's mainly because, as a man, I need to be accountable for my mistakes! That's it! Absolutely not because these women look very, very, very scary right now! Yes! That's it!' Justifying his actions, Yun Wuji felt much better about himself. It wasn't his fault that he was such an upright, righteous man. A living saint among mortals!
"Do you remember when you refused to try, the weak human child and the Vampire Queens?" Shenwu Qing, the one who enjoyed roleplays the most, traced her finger along his thighs and whispered in a low, seductive voice. Leaning closer, she licked his neck with her tongue.
She had read some of the books Hei Xiaolian showed her and wanted to try this play, but Yun Wuji always refused. He didn't like being on the receiving side.
"Can we negotiate this?" Yun Wuji wanted to refuse, but meeting the gazes of the other women, with a deflated look, he asked.
"No!" all the women said at the same time.
"..." Hua Caili sat frozen, watching the absurd and sudden change with wide eyes. Her gaze stayed fixed on her aunt's face, her cheeks now carrying an unhealthy blush. She seemed to be breathing hot air, staring at Yun Wuji with a salivating look as if he were a weak, delicious prey. Hua Caili couldn't help but mutter, "Is this really my aunt? What happened in the hundreds of years I was in the cradle?"
...
"Beach! I never thought I'd be able to see what a beach looks like! So beautiful!" Warm rays of sun rained down on the golden sand, the blue ocean stretching into the horizon, and the waves crashed against the rocks that jutted out of the water.
Palm trees lined the shore, their leaves swaying in the breeze beneath a clear blue sky. It was a scene that perhaps no one in the Abyss would ever dream of imagining, much less see with their own eyes.
Barefoot, Hua Caili ran into the water, her arms spread wide and her white dress fluttering in the wind. Spinning around, she took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air that stood in stark contrast to the poisonous Abyssal Dust.
In a violet sling bikini, Hua Qingying used her thighs as a lap pillow, running her fingers through Yun Wuji's hair as she watched the breathtaking scene before her. "I never knew you were hiding something like this."
Her slight movements caused her large breasts to bounce. The sling bikini, barely covering her nipples, seemed to be struggling against the pressure from her chest.
The fresh air and absence of Abyssal Dust were similar to the Pure Land, but even there, Hua Qingying had never seen anything like a beach. In her understanding, the only place she had even encountered the word 'beach' was in the ancient records left by her ancestors.
"Hmm, this place is so amazing. Too bad the elements and energies here are far too low and fragile," Su Shang said, sitting next to them in a pure white triangle bikini. Even though she had lived most of her life in the Pure Land, she could not hide her amazement at seeing this world. If she ignored the lack of dense elements, this place would be even more amazing than the Pure Land.
Shenwu Youluan and Shenwu Qing dove into the water, observing the fish and undersea creatures. In the Abyss, all beasts had long since turned into Abyssal Beasts, with the exception of the Dragon Race, so this was a completely novel scene for them.
On the other hand, Helian Lingzhu and Yun Wuying lay floating on the surface, drifting with the water and staring at the clear azure sky.
"So, can we forget about that Vampire Queens play?" Glancing up, Yun Wuji tried to look at Hua Qingying's face, but the two huge mounds blocked his view.
In an attempt to escape his 'punishment,' Yun Wuji pulled out the Primordial Profound Ark, also known as the Spirit World of Heaven and Earth.
The Primordial Profound Ark had been created by Ni Xuan using the World Piercer. It contained a complete world inside, populated mostly by profound beasts. In the past, Yun Wuji had barely paid attention to it, since sustaining the world required a massive amount of energy. But here in the Abyss, with its abundance of Abyssal Crystals, it was a different story.
"No!" All the women, including those swimming in the sea, said it at the same time, refusing flatly.
"..." Yun Wuji closed his eyes in resignation. He would have to take it like a man and go with the flow.
Next time, he would try to find a way to take his 'revenge'!
"Uncle Wuji, this place is so nice, even better than the Pure Land! How did you get it?" Running to him, Hua Caili selectively ignored the extremely revealing dress her aunt was wearing and spoke to Yun Wuji with a cheerful smile, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
After bringing her to this place, Hua Caili's impression of Yun Wuji changed drastically. She no longer saw him as a thief stealing her aunt, but as someone who would spoil her and pamper her.
Hua Caili was a simple and pure girl. Despite being born 10,000 years ago, her actual age was only a little over eighteen, and because of her sheltered upbringing, she was far simpler than most people her age.
In this regard, she was very similar to Feng Xue'er when she had been her age.
"In the far north, there is a snowy region. I bet you'll like it too," Yun Wuji said with a smile.
Although he had screwed up earlier, it wasn't hard for him to coax Hua Caili and pull her to his side, since she was still a naive girl compared to him.
"Snow? Really?! I've never seen snow before!" Hua Caili's eyes widened at the news. Clasping her hands, she exclaimed with joy and surprise. Looking at her aunt, she added, "Aunty, let's go see the snow together. You've never seen it before, either, right?"
There was no snow in the Abyss. Even a profound practitioner who cultivated water profound energy could only create water and ice. That was because they could not imagine the form of the snow. Even if they looked at the records and tried to imitate them, all they could create was a hail of ice.
"I still want to stay here." Perhaps for the first time in her life, Hua Qingying turned down her niece's request. Caressing Yun Wuji's face, she asked, "Why don't you go with Wuji? I'm sure he has many new and fun things to show you."
