I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

7: How dare he flirt with the senior brother?”Ah, this...” Xiao Qinger looked at her Senior Brother, whose face was gradually darkening, then glanced at the big man in the distance as if he were an idiot.

How dare he?

Tease Senior Brother?

”??, coming for me?” Shen Nian couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, then his lips twitched slightly. I really underestimated you.

But he truly admired the protagonist’s halo of intelligence reduction.

Honestly, in an era where the Yao Race runs rampant, what pretty boy would dare to rest and even light a fire in these deep mountains?

Plus, he hadn’t even taken off his Heavenly Sword Sect robes yet. Was he really blind and couldn’t see?

If this idiot had even a shred of common sense, he wouldn’t have charged over.

”Hmm?” The brawny man happened to catch Xiao Qinger’s gaze and immediately frowned.

”Still not leaving?”

”Young Miss Xiao, don’t think that...”

The next second.

Shen Nian slightly raised his hand, and a flash of sword light burst forth instantly, carrying sword might as it struck. Its speed was undetectable to anyone below the Golden Core Stage.

With the opponent’s strength, he initially didn’t plan to act, feeling that killing such an idiot would affect his intelligence. He thought it better to let Xiao Qinger handle it herself, perhaps improving her strength. However, the brawny man’s few words successfully disgusted Shen Nian.

The sword light struck.

”Grea...” The brawny man’s pupils suddenly contracted. His body was already cut in half at the waist. The moment the Sword Qi appeared, he knew he had kicked a cremation furnace, but in the end, he couldn’t even cry for mercy.

Bang!

After the brawny man’s upper body fell to the ground and his lower body went limp, blood finally flowed out, saturating the area around the corpse. This showed how fast the sword light had been... ”Do you know this person?” Shen Nian suddenly asked with raised brows.

”Replying, Senior Brother, this person is a servant of Huang Li, the Young Lord of the Huang Family in Yunzhou City. The Huang Family and my Xiao Family have always been at odds, especially since this year, the Huang Family’s strength has gradually surged...” Xiao Qinger recovered her senses and immediately replied.

However, she didn’t mention that after her engagement was broken off, Huang Li repeatedly brought people to the Xiao Family’s door, wanting to take her as a concubine, and even resorting to force in the end.

She felt that her Senior Brother likely didn’t care about this issue.

Hearing this, Shen Nian nodded slightly, then stood up.

”Let’s go. Let’s see what this Huang Family is up to. Deal with anyone below Foundation Establishment yourself.”

Xiao Qinger was stunned by Shen Nian’s sudden remark.

Huh?

What does he mean?

”Do you really believe he just came out to find you?” The Female Yan Emperor’s voice rang out again.

”I understand!” Xiao Qinger immediately followed. She wasn’t foolish and quickly figured it out.

This place is a thousand li away from Yunzhou City. How could a low-level Cultivator in the Qi Condensation Realm dare to come here, risking becoming food for the Yao Race?

Although his servant wanted to claim credit from me, it wasn’t worth his life!

So, why did he dare to come here? It’s simple!

Because he wasn’t alone!

In the dark, dense forest, Xiao Qinger caught up to Shen Nian’s figure and asked in a low voice, ”Senior Brother, what is the Huang Family doing here?”

Shen Nian turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qinger as if she were an idiot, then continued walking forward.

Xiao Qinger immediately smiled awkwardly and stopped speaking.

What was I thinking!

How would Senior Brother know what the Huang Family wants to do... I’m getting dumber and dumber!

At this moment.

Inside a desolate ancient temple, rotting flesh and internal organs were scattered everywhere, and a foul stench permeated the space, making one nauseous.

Wuwuwu~

Faint sobs could be heard, like the hum of mosquitoes.

And in front of the ancient temple’s gate, the originally thick camphor tree had been uprooted, replaced by an iron cage on the sparse earth. Inside the cage were dozens of young maidens.

Some covered their mouths, sobbing, trying their best not to make a sound. Some had pale faces, as if they had seen something terrifying and were scared witless. Others trembled all over, curled up in a corner of the iron cage, burying their heads in their knees, daring not to look.

Outside the iron cage, two men with grim expressions stared silently at their surroundings.

This ancient temple was once built by Buddhist Cultivators, but now it was occupied by a Sparrow Demon who claimed to have the Bloodline of the Phoenix Race. This Sparrow Demon was quite powerful, with a cultivation of the Early Stage Golden Core. He called himself Venerable Yun Tian, and he especially loved the fresh blood of untouched maidens, enjoying torture and killing.

Although a Golden Core Stage Yao Race member was not weak, it was not strong enough to occupy this ancient temple as its lair right under the noses of the Demon Suppression Division and Xuan Guang Cave.

The reason was that the Old Ancestor of the Gray Wolf Clan, the strongest Yao Race force in Yunzhou, was his uncle.

Although it was unknown how a sparrow and a wolf demon became relatives, it was no longer important.

At this moment, inside the ancient temple, it was a different world.

The Buddha statues were long gone, replaced by a six-foot-wide golden silk bed with precious gauze curtains hanging at the sides. A figure lazily leaned on the soft bed pillow, one hand propping up its black sparrow head, the other casually gnawing on a human leg.

”Lord Yun Tian, our Huang Family has prepared sixteen maidens for you this time. You can enjoy them thoroughly now.”

In front of the bed, a young man smiled fawningly, holding a wooden fan in his hand.

”Hmm.” The Sparrow Demon merely glanced indifferently outside the ancient temple, then said, ”Not bad. As long as your Huang Family guarantees a continuous supply of sustenance for this venerable one, then what I promised you will naturally be done. I will tell my uncle.”

”This humble one thanks Lord Yun Tian in advance. After these few days, all the maidens in Yunzhou City will be at your disposal,” Huang Li cupped his hands and laughed heartily, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

”Hmph!”

The Sparrow Demon immediately showed displeasure and said contemptuously, ”Are you reminding this venerable one?”

In his eyes, what right did this tiny ant, a ninth-level Qi Condensation Cultivator, have to question him?

If not for his uncle’s order, who seemed to be planning some grand scheme and told him not to be too ostentatious, he wouldn’t even bother with this ant.

Huang Li immediately panicked and quickly explained with a bitter smile, ”Lord, you’ve misunderstood. Even if Huang Li had more guts, he wouldn’t dare to offend a superior!”

But in his heart, Huang Li couldn’t help but curse.

Damn it!

This Sparrow Demon wouldn’t just eat them all and then deny everything, then invade Yunzhou again, would he?

The reason the Huang Family went to such great lengths, sending dozens of young maidens every ten days, was to appease the Demon Suppression Division’s inspecting envoy who was coming to Yunzhou. The Huang Family had finally gained control of Yunzhou City and had the backing of Xuan Guang Cave. As long as the Yao Race didn’t cause trouble these few days, proving that Yunzhou was prosperous under the Huang Family’s management, the Demon Suppression Division wouldn’t have much to say, and Yunzhou would henceforth be surnamed Huang!

At that time, what would the Xiao Family be? Even if Xiao Qinger was capable, she would only be able to obediently kneel before this Young Lord and serve me!

Thinking of this, Huang Li felt a little better.

”Alright, get out.”

”This venerable one still needs to comprehend immortality...”

The Sparrow Demon looked at the maidens outside the ancient temple, somewhat impatient.

”This humble one will take his leave first, not to disturb Lord’s cultivation of immortal techniques,” Huang Li cupped his hands and smiled as he retreated, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Heh heh.

Just a Golden Core Stage Sparrow Demon, and he talks about immortality?

After Huang Li walked out of the ancient temple, he seemed like a different person, with an indifferent expression and an aura of superiority.

”Take them all in.” Huang Li commanded the two guards.

”Yes!”

The two guards of the iron cage, after receiving the order, stood one on each side of the cage, then gripped its four corners with their four large hands and lifted it directly.

Rumble!

A huge roaring sound rang out, and the maidens in the iron cage, as if knowing their fate, began to cry out.

”Ah!”

”Wuwuwu... No, wuwuwu... Don’t eat me... My flesh isn’t tasty!”

”Help, Father, Mother!”

Huang Li took a step forward, appearing in front of the iron cage, and coldly shouted in a low voice, ”If you make another sound, I’ll cut out your tongues!”

The maidens in the iron cage were instantly terrified and indeed dared not make a sound, trembling as they looked at the young man before them.

”Huang Li, you dare to collude with the Yao Race, you are truly audacious!”
