"It's probably too hot, from the sun." Xiao Huiying's eyes darted around unnaturally as she made up a casual excuse.
"Oh, is that so?" Zi Yan looked at the sky. The sun was indeed very strong, but she thought to herself, *Why does this look a little familiar? I feel like I've seen this before somewhere. Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. It's better to find something fun to do.*
For Zi Yan, if she couldn't figure something out, it was better not to think about it at all. It was better to just find a fight.
She then handed the scorpion's tail stinger to Xiao Huiying. Just as the two were exchanging it, the Heavenly Demon Scorpion thought it had found an opportunity to counterattack, swinging its huge pincers toward them.
Xiao Huiying extended her fair palm and directly slapped the Heavenly Demon Scorpion's pincer.
Bang!
The Heavenly Demon Scorpion's pincer was instantly slapped back, and it felt a sharp pain. It brought the pincer to its face and saw a handprint on it, with cracks spreading out from the handprint, and green blood seeping out.
The Heavenly Demon Scorpion fainted instantly. Clearly, this person was stronger and more terrifying than the one who had just abused it.
*My life is over!*
Xiao Huiying, holding the tail stinger, also smashed it toward the enemy's formation.
Boom!
The moment it struck, the surrounding ground trembled, emitting a loud bang.
"Did I break the toy?" Xiao Huiying also knew that in her excitement, she hadn't controlled her strength well, and it seemed she had messed up.
She turned her head to secretly glance at Zi Yan, only to see her face was ashen.
"Hui Ying, don't kill it or smash it too quickly, or we won't have anything to play with later."
"Probably not, right?"
The two then ran to the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion to check if it was dead.
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Scorpion, though not dead, was only half alive.
"Good, it's still alive. You really need to hold back a bit."
Little Zi Yan patted her unremarkable chest.
Xiao Huiying also breathed a sigh of relief and patted her own chest. Luckily, it wasn't dead, otherwise Zi Yan would probably throw a tantrum and complain later.
She just felt a gaze on her, or more accurately, on her chest.
The source of the gaze was Zi Yan. Zi Yan had never thought this way before, but Xiao Tian's recent behavior had deepened her impression.
Because he never treated her like Xiao Huiying did; he didn't even pat her head.
Xiao Huiying understood what she meant from her gaze and said comfortingly, "Master said that small ones are also very cute."
When Zi Yan heard her words, she became even more unhappy. That was what he said, but… but if she didn't look at her head, she couldn't even tell front from back.
"We're both lolis, so why are you so outstanding?" Zi Yan instantly became emo.
"What are you afraid of? Master also said, 'If the chest isn't flat, how can one pacify the world?' Don't you agree?"
"Exactly, I like hearing that." Zi Yan instantly agreed when she heard this, nodding seriously.
Looking at Zi Yan, who had recovered her energetic self, Xiao Huiying decided not to say another thing she had heard from Xiao Tian, fearing she couldn't handle it.
After all, to put it another way, if the chest isn't big, how can it gather people's hearts?
"That's right, and once you have enough energy and enter your mature phase, you might not be bad either. I have high hopes for you."
Xiao Huiying continued to brainwash and comfort her.
"I think so too. When I reach my mature phase, I definitely won't be worse than you. Then I'll flaunt myself in front of Xiao Tian, making him only able to look but not eat."
Zi Yan seemed to imagine that scene, and her mood became exceptionally beautiful.
Xiao Huiying looked at Zi Yan's fanciful expression and didn't want to dampen her spirits. "With you like this, Master would easily have you under his thumb in minutes."
The people of the Jia Ma Empire looked on in astonishment at the two loli-like figures, who were so violent, and sweat poured down their faces.
As for the people of the Three Great Empires, they didn't think so much. While the two killing gods were still chatting, they only wished their parents had given them a few more legs so they could run even faster.
…
The commotion Xiao Huiying caused directly attracted the attention of those on the other two battlefields.
Especially the Four-Star Dou Zong, who frowned and cursed inwardly, *I really raised a good-for-nothing. He can't even beat two little girls.*
Xiao Yan, seeing Zi Yan and Xiao Huiying, was filled with excitement. Their presence here meant his brother had also arrived.
This match was a sure win.
*We have nuclear weapons. What do you have? Grave-mound grass?*
Xiao Yan immediately fought with even more excitement, making the three Mulan Elders, who were already being suppressed, even more miserable.
The tiger-headed elder grew more and more afraid as he fought, cursing loudly, "Where's that dog Yan Luotian? He couldn't have gone looking for women again, could he?"
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Tian's fist landed on his face, instantly knocking him to the ground.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You might be a bit too confident."
…
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian in the sky directly arrived at a location where a black-robed person was hidden.
"Excuse me, are you the Iron Protector of the Hall of Souls?"
A voice sounded behind him, and the black-robed person's hair instantly stood on end. "Who are you? I am from the Hall of Souls."
"Don't worry about who I am. Just answer my questions, and don't say anything else useless, understand?"
Xiao Tian directly restrained him with one hand.
"Dou Zun? You're a Dou Zun?"
Bang!
One of the black-robed person's arms exploded directly.
"I told you, I ask, you answer. You just wouldn't listen."
Xiao Tian patted his shoulder, and the black-robed person's body trembled. He said with a bitter face, "My Lord, please ask, please ask. Control yourself a bit, I'm scared."
"Answer my previous question."
"This humble one is indeed named Tie, a Human-level Protector of the Hall of Souls." As the black-robed person introduced himself, he emphasized that he was from the Hall of Souls, hoping to make Xiao Tian wary.
"What are you here for this time?"
"This humble one is here to investigate the disappearance of Vulture Eagle, and also because there was news from above that the Xiao Family is suspected to be in the Jia Ma Empire."
The Iron Protector knew the other party's strength and could only honestly confess everything, all the while still thinking of ways to escape.
"Then what does that have to do with you starting this war?"
Xiao Tian frowned.
"I am here to collect souls, and also, if I conquer the Jia Ma Empire, it will be more convenient for me to find the Xiao Family. If I rely only on myself, it would be very difficult to find. How many Xiao Families could there be in an entire empire?"
Xiao Tian laughed when he heard his words. As expected of the Hall of Souls' outsourcing culture, each one was more explosive than the last.
"My Lord, I've told you everything I should. Can I leave now?"
The Iron Protector asked in a fawning tone.
"How many souls have you collected? Let me see."
The Iron Protector quickly pulled out his soul-collecting bag. "I just started collecting, only a few dozen, and they are all relatively weak."
Xiao Tian glanced at his clothes, at a small, dry water stain on the right thigh of his robe. "You actually dirtied my clothes. It seems I cannot let you live."
Xiao Tian directly reached out and slapped him on the head.
The Iron Protector wanted to say something but couldn't. He wanted to say, *What does that water stain have to do with me? I'm a soul body, I don't have blood or water! How would I know where you got it from?!*
Xiao Tian crushed him into a ball, erased his memories, and put him into a bottle, sealing it with Strange Fire.
Xiao Tian touched the water stain; it was sticky and slippery. He seemed to remember something. "Oh, I remember now. This seems to be left by Hui Ying. It seems I blamed him wrongly. Really, if it wasn't you, you should have just said so, instead of having to prove your innocence by dying."
*Iron Protector: For my peanut, did you let me speak?*
Xiao Tian stepped out of the space he had created and arrived on the battlefield, standing in mid-air.
"Xiao Yan Zi, after a few months, why have you become so weak?"
