Chapter 763 - 764: Celestial Emperor's Statue
At this moment, on a luxurious commercial street in the Imperial Capital, a group of figures appeared. The most eye-catching was the fact that several stunning goddesses were following a man, each of them possessing breathtaking beauty.
However, the middle-aged man leading them was also extraordinarily charismatic, with an air of uniqueness between his brows. Even dressed somewhat plainly, his outstanding grace seemed impossible to conceal.
But, at this moment, the young man looked visibly impatient.
It was hard not to attract the attention of passersby with such a scene.
This group, needless to say, was Xiao Tianyu, Shangguan Biyue, Xiao Ziyan, Lu Die'Er, Long Ling'Er, and others. Since they left the Long Family, they had been wandering the streets aimlessly.
"You all following me like this, do you find it fun?" Xiao Tianyu stopped in his tracks, rolling his eyes at the goddesses. With so many beauties behind him, was he sure there wouldn't be trouble?
The saying goes, "Beauty is a curse," and it's not just a day or two.
Yet upon hearing this, the goddesses glanced at Xiao Tianyu with speechless expressions. They really wanted to say, is this guy trying to show off while pretending to be humble? With so many goddesses behind you, isn't it quite the honor?
Just look at those jealous and envious looks from the roadside; isn't it enough for you to feel smug!
After a bout of silent complaint, Long Ling'Er blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Brother Xiao..."
"I'm your uncle!" Xiao Tianyu interrupted bluntly.
"…" Long Ling'Er opened her mouth wide with a surprised expression. Oh Tianyu, can't we not compare seniority? Although my dad calls you Brother Xiao, you are my sworn big brother, aren't you? What uncle nonsense?
So, Long Ling'Er said, "My dad is my dad, and I am me. It doesn't matter what my dad calls you; you'll always be my Brother Xiao!"
"Is that even possible?" Xiao Tianyu looked rather speechless.
"Of course it's possible!" Long Ling'Er nodded seriously. "Calling you uncle would make you sound old. Besides, you're only in your teens, not much older than me. How could I bear to hurt your young heart?"
Long Ling'Er made a playful face, causing Xiao Tianyu to feel frustrated. Wasn't it just letting you call me uncle? Why bring up not wanting to hurt my young heart? Is it really that serious?
Fine, Ling'Er, call me whatever you like.
Next, Long Ling'Er spoke righteously, "Brother Xiao, with so many beauties following you now, honestly, aren't you feeling pretty pleased?"
"Pleased?"
"Yes!" Long Ling'Er nodded.
"Do I look like it?" Xiao Tianyu said plainly, feeling pleased? Impossible. Each one is a calamity to the nation, following me like this. Sooner or later, you'll all drag me down.
However, the next second, the goddesses said in unison, "Yes!"
"…" Xiao Tianyu remained silent for a moment before saying, "I am not at all pleased. And Biyue, don't you need to return to Emperor Star Academy? And Ziyan, aren't you also stirring trouble instead of focusing on your cultivation?"
"We finally got out, and Biyue Sis and I have decided to return tomorrow when Sister Qingcheng is conferred the title of Saintess!" Xiao Ziyan blinked her beautiful eyes, thinking it wouldn't be easy to shake us off.
"Conferred the title of Saintess?"
"Yes!" Shangguan Biyue blinked her beautiful eyes, sarcastically saying, "You, as the highest Execution Officer of Emperor Star Academy, wouldn't know?"
See how you're boasting. Execution Officer? If you really were, how could you not know about tomorrow's coronation ceremony? Some people really need to stop making themselves look important.
At this moment, Long Ling'Er's expression turned lively as she chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xiao Great Figure, since you're the Execution Officer of Emperor Star Academy, you can't possibly be unaware of such a significant event as the coronation ceremony, right? If so, doesn't that make your position a mere formality?"
See how you're pretending, still claiming to be the Execution Officer of Emperor Star Academy. How could you even dream of such a thing?
"How could you all mock him like this!" At this moment, Lu Die'Er, with her pure beautiful eyes, looked like she was standing by Xiao Tianyu's side as she continued, "Maybe he just can't be bothered to care about the coronation ceremony?"
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu looked stunned. When did this woman become so kind as to speak up for me? Could it be to win me over and have me introduce her to join Emperor Star Academy for cultivation?
However, the next second, Lu Die'Er's beautiful eyes flickered, and she continued, "He's sworn brothers with the Celestial Emperor! A mere Execution Officer position is a piece of cake for him!"
Poof~
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu felt the blood rise in his heart, almost fainting. Is this woman helping me, or mocking me? Moreover, why do I feel there's a hidden meaning in her words?
Just as Xiao Tianyu was about to speak, Lu Die'Er interrupted, saying, "Tianyu, since you're sworn brothers with the Celestial Emperor, look over there!"
"What's over there?" Xiao Tianyu turned his gaze, seeing not far in the commercial area an eighteen-layered golden Ancient Tower, seemingly a temple for burning incense and praying.
The goddesses spoke in unison, "The Celestial Emperor's Divine Temple!"
Clang~
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu almost fell to the ground, butt first. What, the Celestial Emperor's Divine Temple? Are you sure there's no mistake? And even if I'm sworn brothers with the Celestial Emperor, he is busy with heavenly duties, how could he have time to bother with a temple? These women really can come up with anything.
At this moment, Lu Die'Er continued, "That temple enshrines a statue of the Celestial Emperor. Shouldn't you go ask your sworn brother, the Celestial Emperor, for help? As long as the Celestial Emperor's true form manifests, not to mention some Execution Officer position, I think even if you're made a Grand Immortal, it wouldn't be difficult?"
"Yes, yes, I also want to see what the Celestial Emperor looks like. Is he as magnificent as described in books, inviolably sacred?" Xiao Ziyan said with complete seriousness.
There is no such thing as the Celestial Emperor, that's just for amusing children.
Xiao Tianyu glanced at the goddesses, feeling inwardly speechless to the extreme.
Then, Xiao Tianyu said, "The Celestial Emperor is very busy, no time to care about me. Next time, I will take you to wander the Lingxiao Palace!"
"…" Upon hearing this, the goddesses all showed disdainful looks, still talking about the Lingxiao Palace. Xiao Tianyu, can we stop boasting? Although now people boast without drafts, but can't we at least keep it reasonable?
And can't you see we're all mocking you here? Are you really that dense? But no matter how we look at you, you don't seem that way.
And wandering the Lingxiao Palace, who do you think you are, Sun Wukong, coming and going freely?
As for Xiao Tianyu, he didn't bother with the goddesses, but just walked away with his hands in his pockets. He knew, no matter what he said, these women wouldn't believe him. But then again, it's understandable; such things would be unbelievable to anyone if heard.
