Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 788

Chapter 788: Chapter 791: A Clean Reputation?【1/7】

On the Investiture of the Gods, the information about Peony was perfectly clear to Wu Tian.

Peony was a "kindred flower" to the Peony Fairy.

What was a kindred flower? It could be compared to a mighty Divine General reincarnating as a grinning, cheeky rogue. Were they the same person? No. They were merely kindred flowers.

"Senior, you created the Art of Blood Refinement, from which the Blood Refiners rose. But I will not let you have Peony," Lv Baicha declared, shielding Peony behind him. He could see the Ancestor of Blood Refinement’s imposing aura and knew he was determined to take her.

"Don’t force my hand," Lv Baicha said through clenched teeth. He had never cultivated the Martial Path, but he possessed the Great Venerable’s Pure Yang Body. He had to let the Ancestor of Blood Refinement know that while he was a scholar, he would choose mutual destruction if provoked.

It was well known that those with a Divine Body were uniquely blessed. For instance, if Lv Baicha chose to self-destruct, the explosion from his Great Venerable’s Pure Yang Body would reduce even a Heavenly King Realm expert to ashes alongside him.

Before Wu Tian could say anything, Lv Baicha snorted. A torrent of Pure Yang Qi surged from his body, thick and terrifying, gradually coalescing into the form of a yellow crane behind him.

Seeing this, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement let out an intrigued, "Oh."

According to legend, Lv Dongbin, the reincarnation of Dong Wanggong, was protected by a yellow crane. It seemed that Lv Baicha’s cultivation-style protector had transformed into a fantasy-style one, yet it was still connected to the same core concepts—Pure Yang Qi and a yellow crane—that were associated with Lv Dongbin.

"Baicha, don’t do this," Peony cried, rushing to stop him when she saw he was willing to perish together. "Once a Great Venerable’s Pure Yang Body self-destructs, the entire royal capital will be wiped out! What about all the innocent people?"

"But..." Lv Baicha gritted his teeth.

"There are no ’buts’," Peony declared, making her intentions clear. "I would rather die than let him defile me."

Hearing this, Wu Tian raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "You... still have your chastity?"

The moment Wu Tian spoke, everyone in the hall froze. It wasn’t just Lv Jieshi and his group; even Meng Tian and Bo Gu, standing beside the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, were stunned.

Lv Baicha’s face became the most unsightly of all. The woman he loved was an Oiran in a brothel, but she had always performed, never selling her body. And now this man was claiming she had no chastity? What do you mean by that? Are you insulting Peony’s character, or are you saying I’ve been cuckolded?

"Ancestor of Blood Refinement, how can you slander someone like this?" Lv Baicha’s resolve hardened as he glared at the man and ground out the words.

"Slander?" The Ancestor of Blood Refinement chuckled. "Why don’t you ask Peony if her chastity is still intact?"

"Peony?" Lv Baicha trusted her completely. He turned to look at her, and the sight sent a jolt through him. Peony was staring at the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, her body trembling, her expression one of pure panic, as if her deepest secret had just been exposed.

"You... H-how did you know?" Peony suddenly stammered while Lv Baicha was still reeling in disbelief.

"What?"

Her question struck Lv Baicha like lightning, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.

"Peony stays," the Ancestor of Blood Refinement commanded. "As for the others... throw them out." Questioning me? Speaking to me like that? They deserve a lesson.
