Chapter 86 My Little Cabbage Has Been Set on a Wild Boar

"Hehe, Xi'er, what are you afraid of? Do I look like a man-eating monster? Or have you done something you shouldn't have?"

Ye Tanji was amused by the girl's little expression, and he stared at her with a half-smile.

"No, no! I didn't do anything! I just... I got a little nervous when I heard your name." Xi'er said guiltily.

Her appearance perfectly matched a fragment of his memory.

The past rushes in like a tide, thirty thousand years seem like a folded spacetime, a gentle turn of the page and you're back in the past—

The little girl, whose hand was injured, had the same expression as now when she saw him and quickly hid her hand behind her back while sneaking out to hunt monsters.

"No, no, I didn't leave Ganquan Palace at all. I just rode around the area on my six-winged unicorn. Really, I swear!" As she said this, her eyes darted around, just like they were now.

Xi'er interrupted his recollection: "Ahem! Um, Your Majesty, I have come here today with an urgent matter to report to you..."

She finally remembered the insect she had almost forgotten and briefly recounted her experience behind the bronze door.

Ye Tanji finally came to his senses. Faced with the huge trouble before him, he could only suppress his countless emotions for the time being.

After all, she has not yet awakened her memories of her past life. If we were to recognize each other abruptly, it might frighten her. We can only find an opportunity to get to know each other slowly and then tell her little by little.

Ye Tanji waved his hand, bringing Bo Yiyan and the two stewards who were waiting to be summoned before him. He looked at Xi'er with a serious expression and said:

“You two, uncle and nephew, have done a great job. These extraterrestrial insectoids are indeed very troublesome.”

However, since you have delivered the information in time, I will take care of everything from now on, so you don't need to worry anymore.

He possesses 30,000 years of memories, including countless experiences fighting against extraterrestrial insectoids.

"Steward Feng, issue this Palace Master's Heavenly Decree!"

"Have the heads of the nine major families each lead eight hundred of their family's elites to Star-Picking City as quickly as possible to be under my command."

When he said those words, his entire demeanor changed instantly.

His once gentle gaze now resembled a gleaming, cold sword, seemingly ready to burst forth from its sheath at any moment and annihilate everything around it.

The steward he mentioned was none other than the chief steward of Yetan Palace. Upon hearing his command, the steward immediately bowed and replied, "I will obey His Majesty's decree!"

His change of expression was so fast that Xi'er was speechless!

She had always thought this man was a lunatic, but she never expected that he was actually the master of Night Pool Palace.

After giving instructions to Steward Feng, he summoned two attendants, Xunri and Poxiao.

Xunri and Poxiao are twins, both appearing to be in their early twenties, but their actual ages are likely older.

At least Xi'er couldn't see through their cultivation level or bone age; she could only see that they had remarkable appearances.

On the morning, he was born with delicate features and an introverted nature; at dawn, he was dashing and spirited, with a somewhat fiery personality.

"It will take some time to gather manpower. Before that, Xi'er, would you like to take me to check out that bronze gate first?" Ye Tanji looked at Xi'er, his voice gentle.

Sunrise and Dawn exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Their master never liked people getting close, especially female cultivators; it was impossible for them to enter within a ten-foot radius of him.

Why is Xi'er able to stand next to him? And why are there only a foot between them?

What horrified them most was that their lord, who always gave orders in a cold and ruthless manner, had never spoken to anyone so gently before, and even in a tone of consultation.

Is this lord perhaps possessed?

Xi'er didn't realize there was anything wrong with Ye Tanji's tone, and she readily nodded and said, "Okay! Let's set off now!"

Bo Yiyan, standing to the side, had his brows furrowed. While Xi'er hadn't noticed anything amiss, he had immediately sensed something was wrong.

As a man himself, even though the Palace Master of Night Pool Palace concealed it very well, he could still sense the sticky, lingering look in his eyes when he looked at Xi'er.

This is clearly someone coveting his Xi'er!

My little cabbage has been targeted by a wild boar, and a powerful and unfathomable one at that!

Bo Yiyan felt completely terrible!

This accident caused them to pass through a spatial passage, and now Xi'er is only protected by him.

This Ye Tanji is someone he can't possibly contend with. If he really harbors evil intentions towards Xi'er, even if he risks his life, he will be powerless to stop him.

At this moment, Bo Yiyan was filled with deep regret.

What does the insect infestation have to do with him? Why does he insist on taking Xi'er to the Night Pool Palace by any means necessary?

This is clearly a proactive door-to-door delivery service!

The next second, his guess was confirmed.

Ye Tanji said, "Xi'er, your cultivation is too low, and your speed in the air is not fast enough. Come, I'll take you with me!"

Xunri and Poxiao, who were standing nearby, were terrified when they heard this, but as proper followers, they quickly grabbed Bo Yiyan's arms on either side: "We will also lend Fellow Daoist Bo a hand."
