I felt a cool sensation, which I guessed was the effect the girl had on my eyes earlier.
As I began to recall the whole incident, I remembered that we had drunk a disgusting tea before heading to the palace.
Could it be that the effect of that tea is to control my body?
Sure enough, the Huang family head continued to extend one finger and began chanting a spell. My body only moved slightly and then there was no further reaction.
"How is that possible? You drank that stuff, how could your body be out of control?"
Seeing that I didn't react, the Huang family head opposite me was stunned.
He increased the energy, but my body still didn't change at all.
At that moment, I felt somewhat fortunate that I had chosen this crazy action at the most crucial moment; otherwise, I would have been dead.
"Master Chen, do you know what you're doing? You were entrusted by Yiyi to keep your promise and kill this guy, so that our clan can be freed!"
When the head of the Huang family realized he couldn't control me, he tried to persuade me, but unfortunately, I'm the kind of person who's completely impervious to reason, and these things were utterly useless to me.
"Master, I'm about to make my move!"
The Thunder Strike Sword sounded excited as it hovered in the air and began to continuously spread its power.
I was going to call out to Lei Jijian, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the girl's jade-like foot rubbed against my leg.
I was momentarily stunned, and then Lei Jijian attacked.
The entire palace was filled with the shadows of lightning from the Thunderstrike Sword, and the blue glow seemed to illuminate the entire palace.
The girl's little feet kept kicking me, and I felt a little bit of secret pleasure.
After thinking about it, I decided to use my hands to infuse the girl with energy.
I gave Lei Jijian an order: Lei Jijian was responsible for holding these people back, while I was to protect the girl.
I understand that the girl has two tasks: first, to protect her from harm; and second, to help her regain her former powers.
Lei Jijian asked me what to do if the other party attacked me. I told Lei Jijian that the other party's strength could not harm me.
"Oh? So confident?"
Because I wasn't hiding anything from anyone when I said these things, the Huang family head heard it now.
The head of the Huang family immediately stepped forward, bypassing the Thunder Strike Sword, to attack me.
Lei Jijian was about to retreat to defend, but I stopped him.
I stared intently at the Huang family head; I refused to believe that the old man could harm me.
The Huang family head flicked his hand slightly, and a crimson sword appeared in his hand. Even from a distance, I could feel the ferocity of this sword.
However, I still choose to believe in the girl and in my own judgment.
If this guy really had the ability to kill me, he wouldn't have resorted to such underhanded tactics in the first place.
My mind flashed back to the moments when I first met the Huang family head. He was both cautious and domineering towards me, offering me help while simultaneously threatening me.
However, he did not directly attack me. Considering this, I have reason to believe that the Huang family head is unable to attack me directly. If he had that ability, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?
I closed my eyes, feeling even more confident, and the next second, the Huang family head's crimson sword pierced right into my chest.
But what followed was an astonishing burst of energy from my body, forming a huge protective shield that enveloped both me and the girl.
This energy was extremely powerful; in just an instant, it repelled the Huang family head, and the crimson energy sword in his hand vanished into thin air within a second.
I opened my eyes and looked at the protective shield in front of me, feeling a little incredulous.
This isn't the first time I've seen this protective shield; this should be the third time.
Unfortunately, I still don't quite understand how this protective shield was formed.
"Why? Why do you still possess this thing even though you've clearly been in contact with him!"
The Huang family head threw down the broken crimson sword in his hand and angrily cursed.
His body is trembling constantly, and he clearly did not expect that I had a similar protective shield inside me.
I was a little confused about the origin of this protective shield. I always thought it was something that Sister Huang or the old master gave me.
But now it seems that's not the case; I reached out my left hand and touched it.
It has an extremely cold feel, almost like touching an ice cube.
Immediately afterwards, the protective shield disappeared.
It was as if this thing had never been in my body.
"Brother! Isn't it strange? How was this protective shield formed? The energy source of this protective shield depends on your confidence!"
Or rather, it depends on your trust in me!
Just as I was wondering, the girl in my arms opened her eyes and gently answered my question.
Hearing this, my pupils contracted slightly. This was a path I had never considered before. I never imagined that this protective shield would depend on my confidence!
"That's right, it's about trust. The more my brother trusts, the stronger this protective shield becomes!"
The girl straightened her body slightly and then sat in my lap.
"So neither the Huang family head nor I can cause you any harm in this world!"
Unless you don't believe in your own power!
The girl lazily placed her little feet on my lap, and that state was actually quite alluring.
My mouth twitched slightly when I saw this.
To be honest, this girl is a natural enchantress; every move she makes, every smile she gives, exudes unparalleled charm.
Luckily, I have a strong enough heart and have seen plenty of women. Otherwise, if it were someone like Lao Dao, my eyes would have been glued to him.
"Then brother! Please kill him for me now!"
The girl's voice was soft. As she spoke, she extended a finger, touching my chin, then my neck, and finally my chest.
It made my heart pound; I felt a real flutter in my heart.
The girl's eyes sharpened as she glared intently at the head of the Huang family.
Immediately afterwards, the scepter that the girl had given me also floated up, hovering in my left hand.
"Alright, brother, just do it. All you need to do is stab this man's body with this, and he'll be reduced to ashes!"
The girl's voice grew increasingly weak, and that one "brother" stirred my heart.
My eyes were dazed, and I unconsciously reached out and grabbed the scepter again.
