424: Maple's Slap Switch

However, the wrapping cloth, which should have been as tall as a person, was now empty and flat at its end.

It wasn't hard to guess that the wrapping cloth was covering… Chu Yaner's upper body!

"I discovered something in the core of that world's ruins, and it took several hundred years to refine this coffin."

Xiao Hao looked at the round wrapping cloth, tears welling up again, and continued to speak, his voice choked with sobs.

Thud!

Xiao Hao suddenly turned around and knelt before Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi again, tears streaming from his eyes as he looked at them.

Wang Feng: ???

Jiang Hanxi: ???

"Master! Your disciple begs you… save Yaner!"

"Master, I'm willing to do anything. As long as Yaner can be saved, even if it means death! Your disciple is willing!"

Xiao Hao knelt upright on the ground, a heavy aura enveloping his emotions, tears streaming uncontrollably from his red eyes.

As soon as Xiao Hao thought of Chu Yaner's tragic state, his soul began to waver again, and his uncontrollably weeping eyes rapidly turned black.

Slap!!

"Get up first. If Master has a way, I will naturally help you."

Seeing Xiao Hao about to fall into a demonic state again, Wang Feng raised his hand and slapped him, then helped him up.

Wang Feng's slap was like a switch, immediately shutting off the signs of Xiao Hao's impending demonization, and his dark eyes rapidly receded.

"We need to solve the problem of you constantly demonizing first."

Wang Feng felt that Xiao Hao's intermittent demonization was not a sustainable state, so he spoke up to remind him.

"Alright…!"

Xiao Hao, with tear stains on his face, turned and gently closed the dark golden coffin, responding with a heavy voice.

Wang Feng was momentarily stunned, realizing that this disciple had probably experienced far more than him.

Because Wang Feng could sense a feeling of profound vicissitude emanating from Xiao Hao, no longer possessing that youthful sense he once had.

While Wang Feng appeared to be tens of thousands of years old, he had actually only lived for a few thousand years.

In the Cultivation World, a few thousand years for an Immortal Cultivator was merely the time it took for a single seclusion.

"System, do you have any way to solve Xiao Hao's intermittent demonization problem?"

[Ding, the Host can…]

"Let me…"

Just as Wang Feng was listening to the System's words, Jiang Hanxi, who had been standing silently beside him, spoke softly and coldly.

As Jiang Hanxi finished speaking, her eyes narrowed, and Xiao Hao's body instantly froze in place, slowly floating towards Jiang Hanxi.

Jiang Hanxi brought her right hand's index and middle fingers together to form a sword-finger, gently touching Xiao Hao's glabella, then pulled her slender arm back forcefully!

Immediately, a dark soul radiating a dense demonic aura fiercely emerged from Xiao Hao's glabella, attempting to dart away.

Seeing this, Jiang Hanxi transformed her right hand's two fingers into a palm, drawing the extremely weak Heavenly Demon Soul into her fair right hand.

Finally, before countless astonished faces, she fiercely squeezed the Heavenly Demon Soul in her right hand.

Bang!!

A bang like a firecracker echoed in Jiang Hanxi's palm, and a powerful wave of demonic energy instantly spread out!

Seeing this, Jiang Hanxi released her Immortal Empress aura, instantly crushing the newly erupted demonic energy until not a trace remained.

As the Heavenly Demon Soul within Xiao Hao was crushed, Xiao Hao's body instantly went limp, and he fell straight forward.

Jiang Hanxi frowned slightly, and a chilling immortal energy supported Xiao Hao, sending him flying towards Wang Feng.

"Eh heh!"

Wang Feng immediately caught the unconscious Xiao Hao who flew over, looking at Jiang Hanxi with a wide smile.

"My wife is truly amazing!"

[My business was stolen… how annoying!]

As Wang Feng's praise for Jiang Hanxi left his lips, the System's resentful voice simultaneously echoed in his mind.

At this moment, the countless people within the Town Demon City's defensive array finally dared to step out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Three figures appeared before Jiang Hanxi and Wang Feng, bowing slightly with cupped hands.

The three figures were momentarily stunned upon seeing Jiang Hanxi up close, but they quickly composed themselves.

They had been astonished by this woman's beauty even from a distance.

Now, seeing her up close, she was even more exquisitely beautiful and incredibly captivating.

Moreover, this woman seemed to possess a strange, captivating aura, even though she did nothing.

If it weren't for their respectable cultivation levels, they would probably have fallen completely, becoming completely at her mercy.

The three composed themselves, then the white-bearded, white-haired elder in the middle slowly opened his mouth and respectfully said:

"Thank you both for saving the lives of all the city's inhabitants. May we know your names?"

"At that time, I will petition the Dao Heaven Immortal Abode to reward you both."

"At that time, perhaps, this old man who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years might even get to see the peerless beauty of the Empress."

The elder stroked his beard at the end of his sentence, chuckling merrily.

However, there was no lewdness in his smile.

Only the desire to behold the legendary beauty of the Cold Immortal Empress, as spoken of by countless immortal beings.

He had long heard how beautiful the Empress was; countless beings desperately wanted to meet the Cold Immortal Empress, but it was impossible.

If he could meet her, he could boast about it for a lifetime!

Jiang Hanxi frowned upon hearing this. If she hadn't sensed that he had no disgusting intentions, she would have slapped this elder already.

Wang Feng, however, didn't find it unusual; he merely thought his wife was too outstanding, her reputation resounding throughout the entire Immortal World.

After all, he couldn't possibly kill every single being in the entire Immortal World who wished to glimpse Jiang Hanxi's beauty, could he?

"My name is Wang Feng, the Husband of the Empress."

Wang Feng smiled slightly and spoke to the three in front of him, his words instantly causing a tremor in their hearts!

"Fellow Daoist! You mustn't say such things! This could lead to the extermination of nine generations of your family!"

The three were so frightened by Wang Feng's words that they took a step back. If Wang Feng hadn't been their savior, they would have already fled.

"It's alright. Let me introduce you. This is the Cold Immortal Empress, and also my wife."

"Alright, alright, wife, let's go. Let's go home first."

Wang Feng supported Xiao Hao with his left hand, introduced Jiang Hanxi with his right, and then calmly waved his right hand at her.

"Mmm…"

Jiang Hanxi hummed faintly in response, then gently raised a hand towards Wang Feng, Xiao Hao, and the dark golden coffin.

Immediately following, a deliberately released chilling Immortal Empress aura emanated from Jiang Hanxi, and the figures of the three people and one coffin instantly vanished from their original spot.

In an instant, only three bewildered figures remained frozen in place, looking at each other in confusion.

And that deliberately discernible Immortal Empress chill constantly reminded them.

That exquisitely beautiful woman was… the so-called Cold Immortal Empress!!??

The three old and cunning individuals knew very well that the Empress had deliberately released her Immortal Empress aura.

She had truly given her so-called Husband enough face!

"The Empress's illusory… bah, bah, bah, slap my mouth! The 88th Generation City Lord of Town Demon City respectfully bids farewell to Empress Adult!"

"Respectfully bids farewell to Empress Adult!"

"Respectfully bids farewell to Empress Adult!"

The elder realized his mistake and immediately slapped himself several times, then bowed respectfully towards the spot where Jiang Hanxi had disappeared.

The other two who were still in a daze also seemed to react, quickly following suit and bowing respectfully.

At this moment, their fear was that the Empress hadn't left yet.

The other two couldn't help but shiver with fright when they thought of what the City Lord had just said to the Empress about wanting to see her face…

"
