Chapter 959: Little Black Kid

Xu Fan looked at the strong man, thinking that this time he could finally have a thrilling fight.

With such a great target, it would be a shame not to fight for three days and nights.

As Xu Fan pondered how to train the strong man, a giant hand suddenly appeared in the sky, grabbing the man as if he were a little chick and forcibly pulling him out of the Ruins World.

“My young friend, I apologize. It’s due to my sect’s oversight. Please don’t take offense~”

As the voice, resonating like the Sound of the Great Dao, faded away, the world fell back into silence.

Xu Fan was a bit surprised; he knew that a Great Luo Sage was watching the Ruins World, but he didn’t expect them to find the strong man so quickly.

Xu Fan took out a feather fan and waved it, calming the battle intent that had just surged within him.

“Ah, I wonder how that poor strong man will be dealt with in the end. He barely released a bit of aura and was immediately discovered by the Great Luo Sage. Truly unfortunate.”

The black-robed true immortal returned from a distance and stood behind Xu Fan.

“Let’s go, off to the next location.”

In the Ruins World, there was a realm that felt like chaos, and Xu Yuexian was cautiously making her way through it.

“That strange door brought me to such a bizarre place. I wonder if I can find a way out,” Xu Yuexian murmured as she carefully examined her surroundings.

Her experiences over the years had made her quite adept at navigating strange environments.

She knew that the strange door had brought her here for a reason—perhaps to seek something or to escape a predicament.

“Heehee~”

Suddenly, a childlike laugh echoed, then vanished just as quickly.

“Is anyone there?”

“Or should I say, is there a child?” Xu Yuexian asked softly.

“No one! No child either!”

The child’s voice reappeared, as if playing a game with Xu Yuexian.

“Then can you come out and let me see you? I’m really good at telling stories to children,” Xu Yuexian said gently.

The child didn’t respond, so Xu Yuexian, seeing the chaotic world around her, took out a reclining chair and sat down. She began to rock gently and told a fairy tale her master had once shared with her.

As Xu Yuexian began to weave her tale, she felt the entire world around her grow attentive, as if listening intently.

The fairy tale continued for three days and nights, yet the child still didn’t respond.

A faint smile appeared on Xu Yuexian’s lips, but just as the story reached a crucial moment, she suddenly stopped.

After a while, she felt the entire chaotic world grow restless and agitated.

“Hurry, tell me! What happened after Little Red Riding Hood got the celestial tool? Did she slay that wolf demon? Was Little Red’s grandmother really a great being in disguise, just testing her?”

The child’s voice was filled with urgency.

Hooked, Xu Yuexian thought to herself.

“Well, in the rest of the story, Little Red Riding Hood did obtain the celestial tool, but it was still stolen by the old, cunning wolf demon.”

“The wolf demon transformed back into its original form and stepped directly on Little Red Riding Hood’s chest, brutally biting off her limbs.”

“Then, glaring at Little Red Riding Hood, it said: Little Red Riding Hood, I ate your grandmother the same way~”

Xu Yuexian paused at this point.

“And then? How did Little Red Riding Hood defeat the wolf demon?”

“Then Little Red Riding Hood was eaten, and the story ended,” Xu Yuexian said, clapping her hands with a smile.

She remembered how her master had made her sad for days with that story until he changed the ending, which finally brought a smile back to her face.

“No way! Little Red Riding Hood can’t just die like that!”

A small black child, completely black except for his white teeth and sparkling big eyes, appeared.

The little black child ran to Xu Yuexian’s side, glaring at her angrily.

“Kid, next time make this place a bit brighter, or all I’ll see is your big white teeth.”

Looking at the entirely black child, Xu Yuexian felt an odd sense of cuteness.

“You’re bad! That’s not how the story goes! Change it back!” the little black child said, pouting.

“Then don’t disappear and stay by my side. Also, make this place a bit brighter, and I’ll keep telling you the story, okay?” Xu Yuexian said with a smile.

The little black child thought for a moment and clapped his hands.

Instantly, the chaotic world turned into daylight, and the little black child became even blacker.

Xu Yuexian pulled out a reclining chair and gestured for the little black child to lie down.

“The next part of the story is that Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother’s soul suddenly appeared, chased away the wolf demon, and gave Little Red Riding Hood a celestial pill.”

“After eating it, Little Red Riding Hood directly Overcame Tribulations and became a true immortal. In the end, she took revenge on the big bad wolf and, after great effort, revived her grandmother. From then on, Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother lived happily ever after.”

This made-up ending pleased the little black child greatly.

“Since you’re here, let me show you something even more interesting.”

With a wave of her hand, Xu Yuexian conjured a light curtain, and a cartoon that kids love began playing on it.

Inside the ancient spirit gathering formation, a group of true immortals had transformed into Mortal Bodies to play games with the spirit at the core of the formation.

In this game, where hundreds of thousands of true immortals were reduced to mortals, Wang Xiangchi, his master and disciples, and Li Xingci were dominating effortlessly.

Such a childish game couldn’t compare to the high-stakes games of the sect; it was like a walk in the park.

Transformed into mortals, they ended up playing simple games like stone-tossing and hide-and-seek, which was ridiculously easy.

In a quiet ancient town, over a hundred thousand transformed true immortals were hiding.

As soon as the core spirit found anyone, they’d be out of the game.

While other true immortals tried to hide in rooms, Wang Xiangchi, his master and disciples, and Li Xingci hid on the town’s city wall.

They quickly made clothes matching the color and pattern of the wall and quietly lay against the nearly vertical surface.

They exchanged glances, communicating through winks.

“My junior brother is impressive; even his hiding method is just like mine,” Wang Xiangchi winked toward Li Xingci.

“I learned this from Second Senior Sister. I’m not perfect at it, but it’s enough for hide-and-seek,” Li Xingci replied with a wink.

“I have to admit, Master was wise back then. He told us that in special environments, we might become mortals, so he made us learn abilities that don’t require spiritual energy,” Wang Xiangchi winked.

“When I was trapped in a secret realm and turned into a mortal, I used the mortal-stage gift pack from Master to Overcome Tribulations. I even managed to slay a Nascent Soul with a puppet. Looking back, Master’s wisdom is truly beyond words,” Li Xingci winked rapidly to convey his message.

“Senior Uncle, can you ask Master to move? He’s blocking us, and we can’t see what you’re saying with your eyes,” Han Feiyu awkwardly winked.

Seeing Han Feiyu’s message, Li Xingci signaled Wang Xiangchi to move so all four of them could see each other.

“Let’s stop here for now. My eyes are getting tired. I’ll rest for a bit,” Wang Xiangchi conveyed before closing his eyes.

“My eyes are tired too~”
