The poor fifth princess, not even two years old yet, was still a clueless toddler who usually just parroted Jiang Shumiao and wasn't very brave. How could she withstand such a threat? She immediately threw herself into the crown prince's arms and burst into tears.
"Bad guy, beat the bad guy, waaaaah..."
The crown prince put his arm around her back and gently coaxed her, though he was also somewhat displeased.
Yao Cong said coldly, "The princess is still young, why would the Imperial Preceptor frighten a child like this?"
Wen Zhixuan remained calm. "I was merely answering the princess's questions."
Their gazes fell on Jiang Shumiao, a child who had just turned one year old. Although her eyes were full of innocence, she showed no fear or timidity whatsoever.
This child is definitely not normal.
Just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Shuman immediately blocked his sister's path, saying warily, "Is the Imperial Preceptor's way to find pleasure in frightening children?"
Gu Jinchuan's expression grew even colder. "If the Imperial Advisor can't catch the demon, there's no need to take it out on the two children."
When Wen Zhixuan met his gaze, the humiliation of the past resurfaced in his mind. His five fingers clenched tightly in his sleeve, and he could hardly restrain the urge to strangle him.
Jiang Shumiao hid behind her sister and called out to Fuqu with her mind.
[Sister Fuqu, quickly use your demonic energy to lure this wicked man away! He's scared the Fifth Princess to tears!]
Fuqu immediately released her demonic energy.
Wen Zhixuan's eyes sharpened, and just as he took out his compass, Jiang Shumiao released that wisp of demonic energy far away.
The compass needle instantly indicated the direction.
Thus, everyone witnessed firsthand what teleportation truly meant.
In the blink of an eye, Wen Zhixuan appeared on the low slope opposite the court.
Everyone present fell silent.
Madam Chen murmured to herself, "No wonder His Majesty trusts the Imperial Advisor so much. I heard that when His Majesty was frightened by the tiger demon at the hunting grounds, the Imperial Advisor came to his rescue. I used to think it was just a rumor, but seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that there is such a great power in the world."
Gu Zhiqing's eyes were filled with admiration, and she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand to shreds.
[Pah! My uncle is protected by the Purple Star True Qi; even immortals can't harm him in the slightest, let alone demons! That tiger demon was something he drew—a real paper tiger! The tiger demon's fright and the cultivators' rescue were all staged by him!]
Jiang Shumiao was furious.
The male protagonist is pretentious and a master of acting, which terrifies her best friend.
Humans eat birds and beasts without discrimination, but why would demons distinguish between adults and children when they eat humans? Only evil spirits crave the souls of children to replenish their vital energy.
Wen Zhixuan did it on purpose.
【Sister Fuqu, go and beat him up.】
But he is only human; if I harm him, I will lose good karma…
She still wants to cultivate immortality.
I grant you divine power, but the consequences will also fall upon me.
Heaven dared not strike her down.
Fuqu went there immediately upon hearing this.
The task given by the gods must be carried out properly.
Although she didn't know who this little fairy was, she could sense that she was very strong, not just ordinary strong. Even ancient demons probably wouldn't be her match.
We must cling to this powerful figure.
The fifth princess cried herself to sleep.
The crown prince then carried her back to the palace.
Jiang Shumiao was still fuming on the way back. Jiang Yining said, "Sister, don't be angry. The teacher said that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. That big bad guy doesn't know how to speak properly, he will definitely get his comeuppance."
Jiang Shumiao nodded emphatically.
"right."
There are many taboos for cultivators. Wen Zhixuan is currently protected by the Heavenly Dao, but when he runs out of his energy, retribution will come.
So she stopped being angry.
After returning to the princess's residence, Fuqu also came back, sounding very excited.
“God, with your divine power protecting me, his compass could not harm me. He was still injured and was no match for me. But I cultivate virtue and dare not commit murder, so I let him go.”
Jiang Shumiao was not surprised.
Wen Zhixuan is long-lived and won't die easily.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
Holding a lotus in one hand, Jiang Shumiao asked, "Has something happened in your demon realm?"
Fuqu was taken aback.
Why do you ask that?
Jiang Shumiao thought of the contents of the Book of Fate: the male protagonist caused turmoil after slaughtering aristocratic families, and he used demon soldiers to suppress it.
This perverse act goes unchecked by Heaven and even the demon realm.
That's outrageous.
Unless something major happens in the demon realm.
Fuqu, unaware of what she was thinking, honestly replied, "I came to the human world as soon as I took human form, and I have not been invited by my own kind."
Jiang Shumiao was somewhat stunned.
During the great war between gods and demons, the demon race initially allied with the gods, but later betrayed them and sided with the demons. Both sides suffered heavy losses in that battle, with many sacrificing themselves to the heavens and earth.
What happened after that, I don't know.
Mortals believe that immortals live as long as heaven and earth, but this is not the case.
Immortals are born from calamities, and perish when calamities strike.
She had already perished and her soul had been scattered, yet she was able to be resurrected.
Who searched for her soul across the three thousand worlds? And who spared no effort to mend her soul, allowing her to be reborn in a mortal body?
The only thing she could think of was the goddess Nuwa.
The goddess Nuwa banished her to the mortal realm to find her own path. In the end, she died, believing that was her path.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Fuqu felt a little uneasy.
"A supreme deity?"
Jiang Shumiao put her back into her Qiankun Sleeve, feeling a little depressed.
She sensed that something was wrong with this world. She initially thought it was because Wen Zhixuan's appearance had disrupted the order of time and space, causing the collapse of the natural order.
But the fact that she can summon heavenly lightning proves that the rules of heaven and earth still exist.
Unfortunately, she is just an infant now, which restricts her a lot.
Take your time.
**
Wen Zhixuan did not return to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, but went to the Shen residence instead.
Shen Zhixian's life was very difficult.
She disliked Shenfu.
Since being sent to the capital as a child, she has spent most of her life in the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
