A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 782 - 715: Little Suisui forcibly mobilizes skill and suffers serious injuries
Upon hearing the Emperor’s words, Ji Youzhi was deeply moved, while Xiaosuisui extended her tiny hand towards the Emperor, hoping for a hug from her adoptive father. This was her way of thanking the Emperor for his sincere care and protection!
Xie Pan’Er also chimed in, "It is a blessing for the millions in the Great Han to have a ruler like you! May the heavens protect Your Majesty and turn misfortune into good fortune!"
Hearing Xie Pan’Er’s words, the Emperor couldn’t help but turn to look at her with a bitter smile. "And what about you?" he asked. "What will you do next?"
Xie Pan’Er was taken aback by the question, unable to respond immediately.
"Ah, Your Majesty! I did mention earlier that I’ve used up all six fire Talismans, so I don’t have any more. However, there’s one thing I haven’t mentioned. Would you like to hear it?"
Seeing the Emperor seemingly exchanging last words with everyone, as if they were about to bid their final farewells, the National Master couldn’t help but press a hand to his forehead in exasperation. Everyone widened their eyes in confusion and looked towards the National Master.
"Aside from the fire Talismans, what else do you have that’s useful?"
The first to ask this question was Xiaosuisui, who had just been whispering with Ji Youzhi.
The National Master’s lips curled slightly. "Not quite. However, I performed a divination earlier. It revealed that despite the grave dangers we face today, there’s a slim chance of survival. And the key to turning this desperate situation around is right here, right now!"
"You... you charlatan! You think divination can solve this kind of problem?"
The Emperor was practically trembling with rage as he pointed his folding fan at the National Master, his expression screaming distrust.
"HAHAHA! A chance of survival? I think it’s more like a chance of death! To be honest, I also performed a divination before I came. The reading indicated that I, too, would find victory amidst peril today. That’s why, as soon as I arrived, I set up a flight-restriction Array covering the entire mountain."
Xunyang was an incredibly arrogant man. His Witchcraft allowed him to communicate with the heavens. Thus, it was his habit that as soon as he divined auspicious or inauspicious outcomes, he would identify what he believed to be the greatest threat to himself. As long as he could be the first to eliminate or control that threat, he believed he would be invincible!
Just as Xunyang finished speaking, a sweet, childlike voice piped up, "You didn’t divine ’victory amidst peril’; you divined ’nine deaths and one chance at life’!"
The voice belonged to Xiaosuisui. She hadn’t said this because she was using her mind-reading ability—though she had considered it. She couldn’t hear anything, perhaps because Xunyang had specifically guarded against her, or because his Clone possessed an unnaturally resilient body.
But she was the one in this world most attuned to the Celestial Dao. If she were to use her power—whereby her words could shape reality—the Celestial Dao might just tip the scales slightly in their favor.
So, just now, when she uttered, "nine deaths and one chance at life," a flash of purple glinted in her eyes!
"Nine deaths and one chance at life? HAHAHA! So what? I’ve already eliminated what I perceived as the greatest threat to me. You are all mere ants!"
"Are you sure the Phoenix was the greatest threat to you?"
As Xunyang was roaring with laughter, Xiaosuisui’s childlike words reached his ears.
Xunyang was stunned by her words. Before he could react, Ji Youzhi shouted loudly, "The Talismans are almost spent! If we don’t run now, when will we?"
The instant he finished speaking, he flung Xiaosuisui aside and simultaneously swung his sword at the vines ensnaring the Phoenix!
When Xunyang saw Ji Youzhi fling Xiaosuisui away, he immediately chased after her, ignoring the vine bag holding the Phoenix.
"Phoenix! Stop playing dead! Get out now!"
Ji Youzhi yelled at the Phoenix. In response, the Phoenix spat out a small fireball that instantly incinerated the vines. Then, it sucked all the flames back into its mouth. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Seeing this display, Ji Youzhi gritted his teeth in frustration. "Why didn’t you just torch Xunyang’s Clone from the start?"
The Phoenix ignored him, rolled its eyes, and thought, Is Phoenix Fire so easy to use? A single misstep, and an entire mountain could be set ablaze. Do you have any idea how many living beings would be incinerated by that inferno?
