After the painful molting process, Xiao Xuan looked at his fully restored skin in the mirror and frowned.
He's too young and immature. If the gloom in his eyes were replaced with arrogance, he would be the version of himself he hated the most.
In his youth, he finally found a famous teacher, and his skills improved by leaps and bounds. He was finally able to hold his head high and trample those who used to look down on him underfoot.
But when he was full of vigor, he looked back and saw Ah Shi, who had never made any progress and was always dull and stupid.
This was his brother who had accompanied him through poverty and hardship, and a witness to his embarrassing past. He couldn't bear to part with this old bond of mutual dependence, yet he couldn't help but despise his brother's incompetence and stupidity, from urging him on at the beginning to rejecting him later.
Every time he was lost in his dreams, he hated the person he was at that time.
Xiao Xuan punched his reflection in the mirror, unconsciously imbuing his face with demonic energy.
The young face instantly shattered with the fragments and vanished as they scattered.
He closed his eyes, letting the shards cut his skin, bringing both pain and pleasure.
After standing there for a long time, he turned around and stepped on the broken glass, his bare feet instantly covered in blood.
He took a shower, put on his clothes and slippers, used his demonic energy to heal his wounds, and looked down at his palms, a shadow falling over his heart.
How long can this demonic body last?
He glanced at the sky outside; the sun was setting, and the sky was dyed orange, unlike the mermaid's eyes.
He made a phone call and summoned his subordinates. The big devil's subordinates were all devils, and in terms of strength, they were all top-notch little devils who gave both humans and fairies a headache.
While voluntarily accepting supervision from special departments and the Fairy Association, he is also responsible for restraining these demons and preventing them from causing harm to the human world, and not even the demon world.
What arrived was a demonic armor. If Xiao Xuan were still the emperor, he would be the commander of the imperial guards, always at his beck and call.
"How's that mermaid doing lately?"
Mo Jia was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I'll contact Mo Yi."
The armored man made a phone call, and the other end answered quickly. The voice on the other end was full of sorrow: "Old Man, what do you want?"
"Did Master just ask how the mermaid is doing now?"
After a long silence, Mo Yi asked furtively in a very low voice, "Is Master beside you?"
Just as Mo Jia was about to say "yes," he saw Xiao Xuan shake his head, his tongue tied in knots, and he managed to say "no" with difficulty, his heart beginning to mourn for Mo Yi.
Mo Yi was already annoyed, and after hearing that he wasn't there, he sighed and said, "Old Jia, we've lost track of that mermaid, what should we do?"
The demon armor immediately felt a powerful magical pressure, its legs went weak, and it managed to stay upright and ask, "How long have we lost them?"
"Sigh, just over an hour after our master left, that mermaid was just spacing out on the island when she suddenly jumped into the water and ran away. We chased after her but couldn't see her anymore."
Xiao Xuan was furious. His demonic energy erupted, lifting his demonic armor into the air and causing it to somersault three times before finally stopping, lying upside down against the wall.
The phone was dropped on the ground, but only the screen cracked; the calls still went through normally.
Before the demonic armor could reassemble the scattered demonic energy, it knelt down on one knee, filled with fear, and cried out, "Master, please calm your anger."
Demon B, who was shouting "What happened to you?", and Demon C, who were next to him, froze upon hearing this and knelt down in front of the phone: "Master, spare our lives."
Xiao Xuan angrily asked, "Why haven't you reported this?"
Mo Jia didn't dare to breathe loudly. He crawled over and put the phone on speakerphone, not daring to remind Mo Yi and Mo Bing. He could only hope that they had good hearing and heard him.
"We originally intended to find it ourselves so as not to worry you."
"It's been four months..."
Xiao Xuan almost laughed out of anger. He reached for the sword at his waist, as if he couldn't cut down Demon B and Demon C, and planned to smash a cell phone or Demon Armor to vent his anger, but the familiar touch in his palm calmed him down.
Which direction did he go?
"He jumped into the water, it seems, in the direction of south."
"like?"
Mo Bing quickly replied, "Both Mo Yi and I saw that it was heading south."
Xiao Xuan was so angry he laughed.
Where are you going south? Are you going on a trip abroad? He had already demonstrated that you were going north, but this fish is so directionally challenged that it can't even tell north from south.
He recalled the world map in his mind and said, "Find someone to go to Malaysia and see if he went there to swim."
Demon A, B, and C didn't dare to correct him. They only had demons, not people, and they didn't know who he was ordering, so they all reluctantly agreed.
Xiao Xuan was in a bad mood. He left the villa, which was hardly a home, and drove towards Sword Valley.
He was thinking about his Ah Shi again.
...
Of course, Emperor Xiu wasn't directionally challenged. Even if he was truly affected by the original body's attributes and became a terrible navigator, 001 still had to remind him. His move south was just a feint, a precaution against Demon B and Demon C who might be following him.
Upon arriving in this world, 001 spotted the two demons, but because they were quite far away—mermaids are sensitive to demonic energy—the two demons seemed to be just outside the tide's sensing range. Without knowing their purpose or having any related mission, Di Xiu didn't bother chasing after them to strike them down, but instead chose to shake them off.
001 watched Xiao Xuan reveal himself with mixed feelings, only to find that her boss had guessed correctly again.
He glanced back at Di Xiu, who was diligently cultivating, and tugged at the drooping ahoge on his head with a hint of frustration.
Throughout the timeline, there's very little focus on Tide. The main villain will certainly make an mention of his death, but no one knows exactly how much of a role Xiao Xuan played in it.
Even from the perspective of the tides, it's hard to say that Xiao Xuan did anything wrong.
He simply told Tide about his thousand-year wait and the fascinating aspects of human society. It just so happened that "fate" gave Tide the opportunity to meet his idol, and that he happened to see the curse on Tide and "kindly" lifted it for him...
After Tide died, it must have realized something was wrong, but it couldn't quite put its finger on what it was, so the third mission was "Never send your heart away again and live a good life."
He didn't know if Xiao Xuan was deceiving him, but his instincts made him resist this fate that felt like being played like a fool.
001 began to suspect that the demon seed of the mermaid race was really not released by Xiao Xuan.
As mentioned in the timeline, Xiao Xuan has demons under his command. The protagonist has no weak soldiers, so these demons are definitely not pushovers either.
However, because Xiao Xuan was focused on his love life, his career was solely focused on Wen Shi. He didn't care about anything unrelated to Wen Shi, but he personally handled anything related to Wen Shi. As a result, the demons were rendered useless, leaving 001 and Di Xiu without a clear understanding of the demons under his command.
What if the demons under his command are more powerful than the mermaid chieftain?
001 glanced back at the Emperor Cultivator who was still cultivating, and was troubled by his own thoughts.
If that's the case, should we chop Xiao Xuan up to entertain the tide?
