"noob."
Jing Le remained calm. With a shout, the white tiger transformed from a kitten into a large white tiger, carrying one large and two small tigers, and hovering in mid-air.
"Father, don't be afraid, Lele will protect you."
Jing Le patted Emperor Jing's arm, then took out a luminous pearl from his spatial storage, instantly illuminating the surroundings.
This is a tunnel that was recently dug, but it's very deep.
It's about 100 meters away, and there's a bend below.
"Alright, then Lele will have to protect Daddy."
Emperor Jing felt a warmth in his heart, as if ever since Jing Le came into his life, he had been protected by Jing Le, both openly and secretly.
It's a very strange feeling.
He has always been the one protecting others, but he is also a human being with feelings, he gets tired, and of course, he needs care and protection.
Even just a few words of formal language moved him deeply.
Moreover, Jing Le went beyond mere practical action; from financial support to security protection, Jing Le can be considered the first in history to do so.
He is very happy and content now.
"Don't worry, with Lele here, no one can hurt Daddy."
Let's go, Xiaobai, let's meet the person behind this.
Jingyue patted the white tiger's head, signaling it to go down.
"Yes, Master."
The white tiger carried the three of them downhill without encountering any attacks.
The space becomes more spacious after landing.
Jing Le's divine sense went first, and he easily saw the situation ahead.
At the end of the tunnel, a woman stood chanting a spell softly. Soon, the spell began to take effect.
Dense demonic energy surged from the woman's body and finally fell into the array beneath her feet.
The once dark tunnel began to glow faintly, and Jing Le took in the array formation on the ground.
[Hmm? A spirit-binding array. Who is this person? A demon or a demonic cultivator?]
Jing Le sensed two different auras from the other person, but something blocked them, making it difficult to perceive clearly.
She also knew how to use the Spirit Binding Array, but the one before her was different; it had clearly been modified, using demonic energy to operate it.
It's clearly targeted at cultivators.
This person is targeting her.
Just then, the woman raised her head, and a familiar face came into Jing Le's view.
[Holy crap, Jing Jiayue? How did she suddenly grow up? Wait, what's this?]
Jing Le observed Jing Jiayue's bone structure and frowned.
Good heavens, this guy's become possessed by demonic arts, even altering his body; it's all incredibly strange.
"Father, let's keep going."
Since Jing Jiayue came for my sake, I'll go and meet her.
We should have dealt with her long ago, but she managed to escape.
"Okay, let's go."
Emperor Jing carried Jing Le forward, showing no concern whatsoever for Jing Jia Yue's name; after all, she wasn't his child.
There was no affection involved, and besides, her intentions were so malicious.
Duan Feibai and Baihu followed behind.
A moment later.
"stop."
Jing Le and the others arrived not far from where Jing Jiayue had just stood, which was right on the outer edge of the formation.
When Jing Jiayue, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Jing Le and the others stop, she immediately realized something was wrong.
This was a formation she had specially prepared for Jing Le; she knew Jing Le wasn't actually from here.
It's just a case of the cuckoo taking over the nest; on the contrary, she was reincarnated with her memories intact.
In this life, she was supposed to be the female lead, but with the addition of Jing Le, an anomaly, everything changed.
If she hadn't been reborn, she wouldn't have known that her life would turn out so tragically.
Even if she cultivates demonic arts now, it doesn't matter, because she firmly believes that as long as Jing Le, this anomaly, is dealt with, everything will return to normal.
Looking at that tall and noble man, now showering Jing Le with tenderness in his arms, my jealousy intensifies.
This is the fatherly love she has never received in her past and present lives.
Jing Le looked at where Jing Jiayue was hiding and smiled: "Jing Jiayue, come out, I know you're here."
Upon hearing Jing Le's words, Jing Jiayue's pupils contracted. She knew the other person was a cultivator, but that time was still several years away.
Jing Le's strength shouldn't be that great now, could it be that she was hiding her true abilities in her previous life?!
"I can't gauge this kid's strength, so be careful."
Jing Jiayue recalled another reminder from the old man.
He had felt a vague unease last time in the mountains and forests, which is why he used his magic weapon. This time, he was observing at close range.
Jing Le's risk level is rising sharply.
"Hmph, I know."
After Jing Jiayue finished speaking, she stepped out from the shadows and looked at Jing Le: "How did you know about me?"
She was referring to her current appearance, of course.
"Oh, isn't that simple? No matter how your bones change, your facial features won't change."
Jing Le smiled and then asked, "Jing Jiayue, how does it feel to cultivate demonic arts?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Jiayue's pupils contracted, realizing that Jing Le had seen through her.
Jing Le's abilities were even greater than she had imagined.
"So what? I'm still better than you, a wretched ghost who's usurped my place, even if I cultivate demonic arts."
"Father, don't you know that Jing Le, whom you're holding, isn't your daughter at all?"
"She used Jing Le's body to get close to you; there must be a secret she's hiding."
Jing Jiayue maliciously revealed the truth about Jing Le, even though Jing Le wasn't exactly a usurper.
The original owner has already been reincarnated.
Duan Feibai, seeing Jing Le freeze for a moment, knew she cared deeply about Emperor Jing.
If Emperor Jing showed even the slightest other emotion, he thought Jing Le would be very upset.
During this time, Jing Le kept several people in the royal family in her heart, especially Emperor Jing. She really regarded Emperor Jing as her father.
"What you're saying I knew from the beginning, but so what?"
Emperor Jing gently patted Jing Le's head and said tenderly:
"You are not my daughter either, but I have never neglected your food and clothing these past few years, yet you have been incredibly wicked."
"To poison the third son at such a young age."
"Back then, the third brother treated you like his own sister."
"On the other hand, since Lele's arrival, everything that was unfavorable for Dayong has turned into favorable; the disaster has been resolved and the national treasury is full."
With the people living in peace and the officials incorruptible, she was the lucky star of the Great Yong Dynasty.
Emperor Jing could not, of course, say that he forcefully changed the fate of the Dayong Dynasty after hearing Jing Le's true feelings; he could only say it from the surface.
Wow, so that's how amazing I am in Father's eyes! I've even become a lucky charm, making me worry for nothing.
"Daddy, I love you so much."
Jing Le hugged Emperor Jing's neck affectionately and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
This scene filled Jing Jiayue with jealousy: "This shouldn't be happening. Shouldn't you be condemning this wicked ghost? Why, why?"
Then, with bloodshot eyes, he stared at Jing Le and said, "You shouldn't exist! Die! Hahaha, all of you, die!"
The demonic energy surging within him poured into the array beneath his feet, instantly illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
The Spirit Binding Formation was activated, and the demonic energy within transformed into iron chains that attacked Jing Le and the others, determined to pull them into the formation.
Seeing the rapidly approaching demonic chains, Jing Le's face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted:
"Get out of my way!"
"bump!"
