Chapter 231: Shopping

"Believe it or not, I'm just here to inform you," the Ming King suddenly let out a sigh of relief and said slowly, "In a few days, my demon army will all be dispatched. I don't believe that even if I flatten the entire human world, that guy can still sit back and do nothing."

"This debt will eventually have to be settled!"

The Ming King's aura surged, causing the whole room to shake. His sharp eyes burst out with intense light, and the air was split with deep cracks.

"Even if what you said is right. But don't you think your methods are too extreme? No matter how powerful one is, there is always a limit. Those who go against the general trend of the world will eventually be eliminated. After living for so many years, don't you understand this yet?" You Ming'er said softly.

"Give it up, senior brother. Our master is so powerful that you—"

"Shut up!" the Ming King shouted sternly. "The general trend of the world? Our master? I spit on that! That guy betrayed his mission. Where is the punishment? Where is the divine retribution? Nothing! In the end, everything is still decided by strength!"

"Even if there is really such a thing as the general trend of the world, I, the king, will break it! Transcending myself and transcending life, this is what you and I pursue in our cultivation! Anything that stands in my way will only end up dead!"

You Ming'er frowned. She could feel that the Ming King's murderous aura was getting stronger and stronger. But what could she do now?

He gave her a deep look, and the Ming King sighed, "Forget it. What's the use of talking to you about this? I'm leaving. You... take care of yourself!"

The Ming King's gaze shot straight ahead. Wherever it reached, the space cracked, and that the breath of defying heaven became stronger and stronger. He stepped in, and the Ming King seemed to be in another world.

His figure slowly disappeared in front of You Ming'er.

"Since your connection with faith has been severed, you might as well give it up. Relying on the faith of others is not as good as relying on yourself. Your own belief is the most reliable!"

These words left You Ming'er deep in thought.

After seeing off Zhou Yixian, Lin Xing took Xiao Huan and started to wander around the capital city. At first, Xiao Huan kept asking questions, wondering why Zhou Yixian had suddenly disappeared. However, under Lin Xing's sweet words and the "attack" of candied hawthorns, she finally put her grandfather out of her mind... Lin Xing couldn't help but laugh secretly. Sure enough, she was just a child!

"Brother Lin Xing, here, a candied hawthorn!" Xiao Huan giggled. Lin Xing, being wealthy, took her to various markets, and their relationship immediately grew closer.

"Yeah, Xiao Huan is so good!" Lin Xing took a bite of the candied hawthorn but secretly groaned in his heart. It couldn't compare with the dishes he cooked at all! It seemed that having extremely high culinary skills wasn't necessarily a good thing.

The streets of the capital city were bustling with traffic. Although it wasn't as prosperous as a modern metropolis, in the world of Zhu Xian, there were few places that could match it. All kinds of snacks, grocery stalls, and shops were almost crammed onto the street, making people overwhelmed with the sight. The two of them spent the whole morning walking through just a small corner of the capital city—of course, the main reason was that Xiao Huan was too slow. She would rush up to see whatever caught her eye.

"Brother Lin Xing, can I live here in the future?" Xiao Huan tugged at Lin Xing's sleeve and asked cutely. Her adorable little face was simply a powerful weapon!

"No problem! Of course, there's no problem! I really don't know what Zhou Yixian was thinking, always running around here and there. Does he think it's fun?"

"That's right! Grandpa didn't even tell me that the capital city is so much fun!" Xiao Huan said angrily. "By the way, Brother Lin Xing, where are we going to live?"

"Um, then we'll live in the imperial palace!" Lin Xing thought for a while and said. After all, taking care of a little girl was quite troublesome. There were so many palace maids in the palace, and he could give them something to do!

"The imperial palace?" The little girl's bright eyes blinked, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in them. "But what if someone bullies me? I'm so young, and I'm definitely not good at fighting. Brother Lin Xing, you—"

Xiao Huan looked up at Lin Xing with a pitiful expression.

Lin Xing: ... Zhou Yixian! How did you teach your granddaughter! At such a young age, she's already trying to blackmail me. She's so naughty!

However, what Xiao Huan said made sense. After thinking about it, Lin Xing said, "Well, I have a good relationship with the empress. I'll ask her to confer the title of princess on you, and then everything will be fine!"

"Then can I command a large group of people?" Xiao Huan's excited breathing was clearly audible to Lin Xing.

"Er, in principle, that's the case."

"Yay! Brother Lin Xing, you're so kind!" Xiao Huan happily tugged at Lin Xing's clothes, and her two little eyes rolled around, as if she was thinking of some idea.

Lin Xing suddenly had a bad feeling. The title of princess... seemed a bit too high. This girl wouldn't cause any trouble, would she? God, please let me have some peace of mind! Dealing with Bi Yao is already troublesome enough. Please don't add more chaos!

"Brother Lin Xing, don't worry! Grandpa has always taught me to be kind to others, not to bully others with my power, and not to do evil. I should, oh no! I should be a good person! Brother Lin Xing, don't worry. I won't cause any trouble." Xiao Huan kept saying that she wouldn't cause trouble, but the more Lin Xing listened, the more scared he became. Damn it! Why is this child so difficult to deal with!

However, on the surface, Lin Xing still put on the appearance of a kind big brother. After all, the remaining influence of the old man Zhou was still there! Who knew when that guy would come back. Maybe he would need to ask for help in the future, so he had to build a good relationship with Xiao Huan!

So, Lin Xing "affectionately" pinched Xiao Huan's delicate face and said softly, "Xiao Huan, don't worry. Even if you tear down the imperial palace, brother will stand by your side. No one will be able to bully you!"

"Yay!"

Xiao Huan jumped up and down happily, and her eyes were curved like crescent moons. Lin Xing turned his head speechlessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

"Brother Lin Xing, let's go over there!" Xiao Huan grabbed Lin Xing's hand and smiled brightly. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, looked up at Lin Xing, and then quietly lowered her head. There was actually a hint of shyness on her little face.

Gently, she adjusted her little hand and held Lin Xing's big hand even tighter.

"Brother Lin Xing, hurry up!"

Xiao Huan ran quickly towards the distance, and Lin Xing was helplessly dragged along...

"Tsk! The old man actually told me not to have any improper thoughts about her! Such a little girl is so annoying." Lin Xing thought disdainfully in his heart.

The two of them plunged into a small stall where people were playing a game of throwing hoops to get toys...
