Fang Ruotang and Xinghe were originally standing in the middle, but as soon as he came out, his father immediately held up the magic artifact for him to prevent him from getting sunburned.
But seeing how stupid he was, the couple couldn't stand it. They smiled apologetically at Fang Ruotang and pulled him aside, creating a protective shield that protected everyone except Fang Ruotang.
"Are you brainless? What is the Human Emperor Banner? How dare you even try to climb it? Look at what you're doing now! Haven't you ever thought about what would happen if the Tianyi Sect and our Tianyan Array Sect fell out one day? What would you do then, caught in the middle? Would we be forced to submit to their control because of you?"
Sect Master Zhuang grabbed Xinghe by the ear and began to scold him.
The elder beside him chimed in, "You're such a troublemaker, you've never been as good as your sister, you..."
"Yes, yes, I am no match for my sister in any way. If that day ever comes, just leave me alone! You all value my sister more anyway."
Xinghe, having given up all hope, adopted a completely resigned attitude, which earned him a mixed doubles beating from the Zhuang Sect Master and his wife.
Even through the protective shield, Fang Ruotang could hear Xinghe screaming and crying. It didn't last long before Xinghe couldn't hold on any longer and started begging for mercy with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong, please stop hitting me! It hurts so much to hit my soul! Father, please stop hitting me too, or my precious son's soul will dissipate."
Both husband and wife were high-level cultivators and were careful not to actually harm Xinghe's soul. After all, a soul injury is not the same as a physical injury and is not so easy to recover from. They wouldn't be so reckless.
Even if they were furious about this piece of char siu, they could only grit their teeth and accept it, because it was the continuation of their bloodline and the fruit of their love.
Fang Ruotang was openly eavesdropping when Huo Zhige grabbed her chin and turned her face back, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing into a deep frown.
"You really want to take him into the Emperor's Banner?"
"I didn't take it! He ran in by himself. You all saw it. Even his parents couldn't stop him. My cultivation level is much lower, how could I possibly stop him!"
Fang Ruotang looked completely innocent, with an expression that said, "Don't bother me, it has nothing to do with me."
Huo Zhige was so angry he laughed.
Fang Ruotang is smarter now and can use her brain to think things through.
But they used all their cleverness on the six of them.
It's infuriating!
Just like now, her erratic facial features reveal her guilty conscience from every angle, indicating that she knows they don't like her keeping men around.
But if you talk to her, she'll shower you with sweet words, making you forget your original intentions.
It's a complete "I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time" attitude.
“You didn’t actually have to take out the Emperor’s Banner,” Cui Shixu reminded him with a smile.
Fang Ruotang said earnestly, "How can I do that! I've always done good deeds and been a good person. Since the other person asked me for help, and I have a solution, I definitely have to tell him! I can't lie to people. Lying is so wrong. If I lie to others today, I might lie to you tomorrow. Do you want me to lie to you in the future?"
Gu Yanjin and the other six looked at Fang Ruotang with unspoken words.
Not only the six of them, but even the Fang siblings standing next to them couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hahahaha." Shen Lixia couldn't help but laugh. She vaguely knew that it would be better to keep quiet at this time, but she was someone who laughed very easily, so how could she hold back!
"Fifth Sister-in-law, you also think what I said makes sense, right?"
"Yes! It's right not to lie. Xiao Liu is right. What if she becomes a habitual liar and goes out with other male cultivators but lies and says she's a female cultivator?"
Ye Wuxia's voice was gentle, yet it was also laced with an invisible icy edge.
"Fifth Sister-in-law, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. If you're really bored, why don't you eat some sunflower seeds?"
"I... um."
Shen Lixia started to speak, but Fang Zhixing covered her mouth and dragged her aside.
"Ancestor, you are my ancestor. Their banter is just for fun, why are you getting involved and chiming in!"
"Am I wrong to speak up for Xiao Liu?"
"Tsk!"
Fang Zhixing had a toothache, so he helplessly raised his hands to pinch her cheeks and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu doesn't need your help. Look at those six people, which one of them is a match for Xiao Liu? You can just watch the show from the sidelines."
Gu Yanjin and the other six men glared at Fang Zhixing from behind.
Fang Zhixing stiffened, but did not turn around.
He sensed a murderous aura.
Fang Ruotang chuckled twice and even gave Shen Lixia a thumbs-up in praise.
Shen Lixia, who was straightforward and honest, immediately straightened her back and proudly told Fang Zhixing.
"Xiao Liu praised me."
Fang Zhixing: ...
This is truly a case of one daring to speak and the other daring to believe.
Two people can't put together a complete brain.
When Xiao Jingzi said that Shen Lixia and Fang Ruotang looked very similar, he wondered how similar they could be, since they didn't look alike when they met! But he didn't expect to be waiting for him here.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you! I've decided to use the Human Emperor Banner. I feel like I'm still too weak. This time, it was the same when I dealt with the Spider Queen, and it's the same when I face the elders of the Weapon Refining Sect."
“This makes me very unhappy. I don’t like being controlled by others. I feel that I should be the most powerful being in the world. They should all be crawling at my feet, trembling at the mere sight of my presence or the sound of my voice!”
Fang Ruotang said with a serious expression.
The little mirror immediately spoke.
"My lord, have you remembered?"
No, I just have this feeling, it should be this way. I don't know if it's because I've heard you talk about it so much that I've become so arrogant.
No, that's not true. It's understandable that you feel that way, sir. These ants are not worthy to be your opponents.
But the truth is, I can't beat these people right now.
Fang Ruotang was very distressed.
Her primal power is immense, capable of instantly destroying everything in her path.
However, there is a fatal flaw: her soul is not fully repaired. If her original power is disturbed, she will fall into a deep sleep for a period of time to repair herself.
It's been very unsafe during this time.
“The Human Emperor Banner should indeed not be left idle. If more Yin soldiers are kept inside, you will be safer when you encounter troublesome opponents in the future.” Rong Xing nodded in agreement.
The same applies to the other five.
Minor jealousy is harmless.
But as soon as Fang Ruotang mentioned making use of the Human Emperor Banner, the six of them immediately nodded vigorously. They no longer felt that it was bad that there was a man inside the Human Emperor Banner that Fang Ruotang had taken into her body. They even took the initiative to come up with ideas and wanted to gather 100,000 Yin soldiers as soon as possible.
