Chapter 166: Taking in Disciple Xiao Xun'er

Dou Luo Star.

At this time, Bai Yuan had already taken Xiao Xun'er and fled.

Although he had no idea that in the God Realm, the Asura God was about to go to war with the God of Destruction.

But he preferred the idea of doing less rather than more; since the Asura God wasn't causing him trouble anymore, why wouldn't Bai Yuan just continue developing quietly?

After all, if he, at the Half-step God Transformation Stage, used the sacrifice of Xiao Xun'er's death to activate the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and failed to kill the Asura God, that would be a huge loss.

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er sat obediently on Bai Yuan's hand; she finally couldn't hold back and curiously asked, "Big brother, can you tell me now why you know me?"

Bai Yuan listened and began to ponder.

A hint of doubt appeared in Xiao Xun'er's eyes; she slightly tilted her head, gazed at Bai Yuan, and quietly waited for his answer.

After a long while, Bai Yuan took Xiao Xun'er and flew far away; he suddenly lowered his head, smiling, and asked, "Xun'er, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

The doubt in Xiao Xun'er's big eyes grew stronger; even the angle of her tilted head increased, and her whole delicate little head rested on her shoulder.

Logically speaking, if one were to tell a lie,

one shouldn't first ask her like this.

If one wanted to tell the truth, one should just say it directly, rather than asking this way and letting Xiao Xun'er decide for herself.

In this situation, it can only mean he wants to tell a lie to deceive her, but he can't bear to deceive her; so, torn, he handed the choice over to Xiao Xun'er.

"Big brother, what's the difference between the two?" Xiao Xun'er didn't decisively choose the truth; instead, like a curious baby, she asked.

Bai Yuan said, "The truth is naturally the truth, and a lie is naturally a lie, but no matter which you want to hear, I have one condition."

"What condition?" Xiao Xun'er asked.

Bai Yuan smiled, "It's simple: become my disciple."

【Current Task Four: Find all people from the Dou Qi Continent and various items, and bring them under your control; reward: Technique Treasure Box ×1, Multiverse Exploration Count ×1】

The Reincarnation Grass and Purple Soul Flower have both been found; now, thanks to Bai Yuan's hero-saving-beauty act, Xiao Xun'er has developed a dependence on him.

But the system hasn't prompted completion yet.

So Bai Yuan still chose the most direct method.

Xiao Xun'er froze for a moment, never expecting it to be so simple; she had just thought she'd run into a bad person again.

"Disciple greets Master." Xiao Xun'er hesitated not, and decisively performed the disciple's bow.

Ding! Congratulations on successfully taking a disciple!

Ding! Congratulations on completing Current Task Four, reward: Technique Treasure Box ×1, Multiverse Exploration Count ×1.

Bai Yuan's heart instantly leapt with joy; he had no hesitation and decisively chose to open the Technique Treasure Box.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Great Black Heaven Scripture, the Supreme Yin Manual, the Cold Emperor Scripture, and the Dao Fire Scripture.

【Great Black Heaven Scripture: The supreme dark-attribute cultivation method, created by the Great Black Heaven; when cultivated to perfection, it grants the power to devour the cosmic starry sky.】

【Supreme Yin Manual: Anyone who cultivates this method will irreversibly transform into a pure-yin body; it is the ultimate yin-path cultivation method.】

【Cold Emperor Scripture: The supreme ice-attribute cultivation method created by the Cold Emperor; upon completion, a single glance can freeze all things.】

【Dao Fire Scripture: To cultivate this method, one must first find one's innate fire; then, using that fire as a source and all things as nourishment, let it grow into the supreme Dao fire.】

Bai Yuan stared at the four scriptures that had appeared, falling into silence, because among his disciples, it was obvious who could cultivate each of these four methods.

Di Tian's Great Black Heaven Scripture, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor's Supreme Yin Manual, the Cold Emperor Scripture, and finally Xiao Xun'er's Dao Fire Scripture.

If other fierce beasts knew of this scene, they would never believe such a suspicious thing was happening; they would surely shout that there was a conspiracy!

Of course, the Supreme Yin Manual also suits Zi Ji, since her attribute is a combination of darkness and water, a yin-water attribute.

If we talk about compatibility, Ming Xing is stronger than the Snow and Ice Emperors, but since those two are his adopted daughters, calling him "dad" over and over, Bai Yuan can only say he can't stand it.

Gathering his thoughts, Bai Yuan said, "Xun'er, tell me, do you ultimately want to hear a harsher truth or a sweeter lie?"

Xiao Xun'er answered without hesitation, "Replying to Master, I think I'd like to hear a lie first, then your truth."

Bai Yuan listened and was speechless.

Wasn't the agreement that only adults wouldn't make a choice?

How come this little kid in front of me also learned to want everything?

Bai Yuan sighed helplessly, "The lie is that I, as your master, can calculate heavenly secrets, figuring that heaven would grant me a heaven‑chosen prodigy as a disciple, and that he would be in a life‑or‑death crisis; thus, based on that calculation, I rushed over quickly."

Xiao Xun'er lowered her head, her pupils flickering.

She had basically already guessed Bai Yuan's true words.

Bai Yuan obviously also realized this.

He asked, "Do you still want to hear the truth?"

Xiao Xun'er shook her head, "No, but I want to know, Master, do you have a way to send me back?"

Bai Yuan didn't answer Xiao Xun'er's words; he just smiled and asked, "Xun'er, were you happy in that world?"

Xiao Xun'er swayed her little head left and right, "It wasn't happy, but I don't want my father to worry."

Bai Yuan flicked her little forehead, "As your master, I'll tell you the truth: you came here purely by accident, and given my current abilities, I can't send you back."

Xiao Xun'er looked very disappointed.

Bai Yuan gently stroked Xiao Xun'er's back to comfort her, "Xun'er, since you've come, settle in; rest assured, I will definitely treat you well."

Xiao Xun'er lifted her eyes to glance at Bai Yuan, saying nothing.

Logically speaking, even if she didn't hate the person who brought her to another world, she should dislike him.

But Xiao Xun'er discovered she couldn't bring herself to dislike him.

Perhaps it's because he gave her a life‑saving favor.

Perhaps it's his sincerity toward her.

For a world‑weary adult, sincerity is suicidal, but for a little girl like her, sincerity is a killer move.

"All right, Xun'er, don't feel upset; feeling upset now is useless, so you might as well be happy—I'll let you go play with your senior sister."

After a continuous sensation. Bai Yuan, again and again once, came to the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Mu Junwu's five bodies sensed his arrival, all were welcoming him along the path.

Afterwards, Bai Yuan handed the Dao Fire Scripture to Xiao Xun'er, then opened the system's myriad realms link, preparing to begin exploration.

Nowadays, the highest priority matter for Bai Yuan here should be to quickly refine the Infant-Transforming Pill, then obtain a million mentor virtue points, and then purchase the Wood Formation Base.

Set up a perfect Five Elements Grand Formation.

After all, as long as the Five Elements Grand Formation is set up.

In his presence, the Five Great Divine Kings of the Divine Realm are mere ants.

Therefore, after returning, Bai Yuan had no intention of lingering.

Modified slightly: God King Fighting Saint, Dragon God Half-Saint.
