"Huh? You're talking bad about me?" I glanced at the witch fairy kneeling on the ground with her back still ramrod straight, and touched my nose. It seems the witch fairy really dislikes me.
"But you can't hit him!" I said, trying to persuade him. "You can reason with him." As soon as I said that, I felt like a primary school homeroom teacher.
"Master, you have no idea how outrageous he was, speaking ill of you in front of all the immortals." Feng Su became agitated as she spoke. "I was telling the immortals about my past battles with you, Master, and your glorious achievements, but this witch immortal had to sabotage me, saying that these were all old stories, and most importantly, most importantly..." Feng Su's voice trailed off, and she glanced at me cautiously before falling silent.
My curiosity was completely piqued by Feng Su. Knowing that someone was talking about me behind my back, I couldn't help but wonder what the witch had said. "What's the most important thing?"
“Most importantly,” Feng Su looked up at me, mustered his courage, and finished speaking in one breath at an extremely fast pace, “most importantly, he said that Master, all you do now is eat, drink, play, and sleep all day. Where is the former Emperor of the Nine Heavens?”
As soon as I heard that, I felt the air around me go quiet, and the wind that was blowing just now stopped. I smiled awkwardly, and noticing that Youqi next to me was about to kick Wuxian again, I quickly pulled Youqi back and said, "What he said is not wrong, don't blame him."
"Xin'er, don't stop me." You said, her gaze towards Wu Xian growing colder. "Wu Xian, you even dare to make up stories about Emperor Xin now?"
Just moments ago, Wu Xian had been bowing her head in apology, but now, upon hearing You Du's questioning, she raised her head and stubbornly looked at You, saying, "You Emperor, every word I have said is true. Which one is wrong? I am willing to have my immortal bones removed and re-enter the suffering of the Six Paths."
I almost tripped and fell flat on my face when I heard that. The witch really hates me! I shouldn't have stopped You; let You kick me! Seriously, that's too much! What did I do to offend the witch? She dislikes me so much. Even though what she said is true, saying it so bluntly is just embarrassing.
The witch suddenly turned to look at me. "You think I'm targeting you? That I hate you? That I don't give you face? Emperor Xin, forgive my bluntness, but even if you were once the Emperor of the Nine Heavens, that face was something you gave yourself. May I ask, since you entered the mortal realm, have you ever properly cultivated for even a single day? Your cultivation has not only failed to advance but has actually regressed. Do you still deserve the title of Emperor Xin?"
The witch's words were like daggers to the heart.
I was momentarily distracted, and You broke free, then kicked Wu Xian again. "Shut up! Xin'er doesn't need your meddling!" I snapped back to reality and stopped You again. Although I had you pinned down, you could still speak. "Didn't you want to have your immortal bones removed and fall to the mortal realm? I'll grant your wish! Guards!"
As soon as You finished speaking, several heavenly soldiers and generals knelt before You, awaiting their fate.
"Go back!" I said, unusually assertive.
The heavenly soldiers and generals glanced at me hesitantly, then looked at each other, unsure of whose advice to follow.
"Does my word have no effect?" I stared coldly at the leading general, who glanced at me and You, hesitated for a long time, and then retreated.
"You, don't be angry. What did the witch say wrong?" I turned back to You and advised her not to be impulsive after seeing the general retreat.
