Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.
Zhao Lingxi looked increasingly nervous.
"Su Chen, I..." Zhao Lingxi wasn't nervous for herself, but for Su Chen. Just thinking about her aunt's impending arrival made her involuntarily imagine scenes of her aunt killing Su Chen in a fit of anger.
Can she really protect Su Chen?
She was a bit anxious.
Although she was determined to protect Su Chen, what if she couldn't?
At this moment, Zhao Lingxi was like a wanderer who hadn't returned home for a long, long time. One day, she summoned the courage to go back and sat on the train, getting closer and closer to her hometown, closer to her relatives, and her heart became more and more tense.
"Lingxi, you don't need to be nervous." Su Chen said with a smile. He could guess what Zhao Lingxi was thinking, thus he had a good impression of this kind-hearted Little Luo, and couldn't help but comfort her.
"Su Chen, my aunt is Zhao Funí." Zhao Lingxi bit her red lips and mustered the greatest courage to speak.
As soon as she said that.
Su Chen didn't react much.
Because he had never heard of the name Zhao Funí.
But the other people present immediately fell into a deathly silence... Their faces changed drastically, completely losing their composure.
"Damn it!!" Shen Yiyao's beautiful eyes widened fiercely, and her aura became agitated, locking onto Zhao Lingxi: "You... you want to get Su Chen killed?"
Shen Yiyao suspected that Zhao Lingxi probably had a significant background, given that she could use a top-level Heavenly Dao level Sound Transmission Talisman; there weren't many people in the Great Luo Heaven who could.
But she hadn't expected that she still underestimated this girl's background, which was almost comparable to her own!
This little girl's aunt is Zhao Funí?!
Who is Zhao Funí? One of the few who established the current rules of the Great Luo Heaven, akin to the Floating Demon Old Woman in Jiucang Divine Pavilion, truly standing at the very top of the Great Luo Heaven.
There shouldn't be anyone in the whole Great Luo Heaven stronger than Zhao Funí, at most three to five people are about equal.
Zhao Funí to Xuanshi Divine Pavilion is like the Floating Demon Old Woman to Jiucang Divine Pavilion.
What worried Shen Yiyao the most was Zhao Funí's temperament, which was known to be very fierce. Throughout the Great Luo Heaven, if you ask who has the most fearsome reputation, ninety percent of martial cultivators might first think of Zhao Funí.
Her fierce reputation was really intimidating.
It's said that her temper is extremely volatile, without any of the dignity of a top-level old monster, and she likes to strike ruthlessly.
Even disciples and elders of Xuanshi Divine Pavilion seem to have quite a few who died at Zhao Funí's hands.
Sometimes, in the martial arts world, it's not just about being powerful; it's about having the demeanor of a top-level expert. Zhao Funí is the epitome of lacking the demeanor of a top-level expert.
Normally, at her status, which is even stronger than the Pavilion Masters of the Four Great Divine Pavilions, she should have her own demeanor and height, unlikely to act indiscriminately, and certainly not to bully the weak. Especially as a Great Dao Realm entity, there are Heavenly Dao rules restricting her, preventing her from acting at will. But Zhao Funí disregards them and acts as she pleases.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Funí is so indiscriminate that there are rumors that even martial cultivators below Humanity Daoism Realm, mere ants, have died at her hand. She is practically the oddest flower among the top-level old monsters in the Great Luo Heaven.
"I... I..." Being rebuked by Shen Yiyao, Zhao Lingxi shrank her little head, her face turned pale with guilt and fear, and she took a step back.
She could imagine why Shen Yiyao was so angry? Her aunt was indeed fierce and ferocious. Especially after she got a strange illness, her aunt's temper has gotten worse.
"Alright, Yi Yao, why get so angry? Is Lingxi's aunt really so terrifying?" Su Chen stopped Shen Yiyao, who almost wanted to make a move, and asked with a smile.
"Su Chen, we must leave quickly, or it'll be too late!" Shen Yiyao grabbed Su Chen's arm, her voice almost pleading.
However, Su Chen was unmoved: "Tell me about Zhao Funí."
"Su Chen, you're... you're really crazy..." Shen Yiyao was so anxious that she was already sweating on her forehead. She understood Su Chen well, knowing that Su Chen was as stubborn as a mule. If she couldn't persuade Su Chen, he definitely wouldn't leave. So she quickly recounted the matters regarding Zhao Funí.
As she spoke, Su Chen's expression became a bit strange, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Lingxi twice. According to Shen Yiyao's description, Zhao Lingxi's aunt was practically a human-shaped nuke~~~bomb!
Yet Zhao Lingxi seemed to be raised by her aunt; how did Zhao Lingxi turn out to be so gentle and kind?
Strange.
Su Chen wasn't worried though; he indeed wasn't Zhao Funí's match, far from it. However, if it really came to a life-or-death struggle, with his Sixth Stage Sword Rhyme, the terrifyingly amplified Heavens Stars Great Array, Ancient Soul Ancestral Vein, etc., he had a bit of assurance to escape.
"Su Chen, you're not leaving yet?" Shen Yiyao pinched Su Chen's waist: "You may be lustful, but you have to stay alive! You can like anyone, but you can't fall for this girl. Her aunt is not to be provoked."
Su Chen couldn't help but glance at the surrounding swordsmen spectating and found that their expressions were even more exaggerated than Shen Yiyao's.
The name Zhao Funí was truly fierce beyond extreme, practically an existence that could scare children to tears?
On the contrary, Su Chen was somewhat curious. What was Zhao Funí like? Three-headed and six-armed or something?
At this moment.
Zhao Lingxi lowered her head, feeling wronged, guilty, and worried... Tears streamed down her face, especially after being scolded by Shen Yiyao.
"Yi Yao, don't worry, my treating Lingxi's illness is a good thing. No matter how scary Zhao Funí is, she can't be unable to distinguish between good and bad, can she?" Su Chen patted Shen Yiyao's back, comforting her.
"Su Chen!!! Can't you stop courting death?" Shen Yiyao was so angry she almost spat blood, unable to comprehend Su Chen's logic. At this point, he's still insisting? Zhao Funí has always been unable to distinguish between good and bad, okay? She's practically a lunatic.
The key is not that lunatics are scary.
The scary thing is that this lunatic possesses near-invincible strength throughout the Great Luo Heaven.
Indeed, Su Chen's strength and talent are practically unseen in tens of millions of years, and every prodigy pales in comparison to Su Chen.
But no matter how monstrous or strong Su Chen is, in front of Zhao Funí, he is clearly just an ant!
Even her own father has to bow in front of Zhao Funí.
Why can't Su Chen understand? Shen Yiyao wished she could knock Su Chen out and drag him away.
"Su Chen, if my aunt wants to kill you, she will have to step over my dead body. Lingxi will... guarantee it." Zhao Lingxi bit her lips until they almost bled, took a deep breath, and once again summoned her courage, walking towards Su Chen to stand firmly and seriously before him.
"Su Chen, you bastard. If you manage to get yourself killed this time, I won't even burn paper money for you." Shen Yiyao knew that Su Chen definitely wouldn't leave now; this stubborn mule was desperately insisting on walking a tightrope, and she could only accompany him. She glared at Su Chen and cursed fiercely.
"Hahaha..." Su Chen laughed heartily, finding Shen Yiyao's extreme anger somewhat cute.
