Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

What?

You said all the Divines are dead?

Wu Xiaode instinctively looked at the card floating in mid-air.

He saw the second card, "Gonggong's Wrath," and vaguely recalled the card's description:

"...sealed a Divine Skill powerful enough to break the Mysterious Divine Pillar."

"According to the Water God's last wish, no one can acquire this Divine Skill unless..."

He took another look at the first card.

——It was "Two Worlds People."

"Everyone with Pangu's profession is eligible to receive this 'Two Worlds People' card and thereby obtain their profession in the Netherworld."

Wu Xiaode then looked at the "Nine Primordial Sacred Thunder God" card.

The Thunder Monkey squatted on the card, still bearing a look of utter humiliation, muttering:

"If it weren't to lend a helping hand to those who come after, I would never have turned into a card and lingered in this world."

From the beginning, the answer was already so clear and obvious!

He originally thought he could figure it out.

But.

With a hint of hope, a bit of luck, he longed to find more light in that desperate past era.

Alas...

Wu Xiaode sighed but quickly cheered up again.

Not completely without gains.

Xia Huilan reached the future, all of humanity was saved, and the Evil Demon couldn't affect the Inner World of Kunlun Mountain.

This was already enough.

He really wanted to return to that future era to see Sister Lan!

"Is there anything else in this era that needs me? If not, I'd like to go back to the future once."

Wu Xiaode said.

"I'm afraid not for the time being," Shen Feixue said.

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Shen Feixue said solemnly:

"Although the 'Reversal Card' can temporarily ensure our safety, with the Awakening of the Queen Mother of the West, an irresistible presence will sense her and can enter the Inner World at any time."

Wu Xiaode said, "You mean——"

"Pangu and the creator of the Inner World," Shen Feixue said.

——Holy Realm!

Everything was created by the Holy Realm, and naturally, the immortals have ways to come here!

"What if we don't let the Queen Mother of the West awaken?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

"The power of the cards is not endless; it will eventually wane. We must restore the Queen Mother of the West's power before then—this is her Inner World; her strength is the only hope!"

Shen Feixue said.

"So the existence of the Holy Realm will eventually come," Wu Xiaode sighed.

"Yes," Shen Feixue said, "seeing the demons wreaking havoc, you know that the Holy Realm already has entities paying attention here."

"Why?"

"The more chaotic the world, the more it accentuates various outstanding individuals. As soon as someone releases the power wave of an Immortal Spirit, it will immediately garner further attention from them."

Wu Xiaode's heart tightened and he hurriedly said, "Shen Xiyao released her power this afternoon."

"The faeries helped conceal it for her—but as her power grows, if the faeries fail to react in time, she will be discovered!"

"Moreover, there's one more thing."

Shen Feixue continued, "The stronger her emotional fluctuations, the higher the peak of her power awakening, possibly exceeding the faeries' capabilities."

Wu Xiaode shook his head.

Gah.

It seems Shen Xiyao mustn't face sudden situations.

She must grow under the faeries' watchful eyes.

Otherwise——

Any randomly drawn evil-transformed immortal being drawn here would doom the world.

A small figure flew down from the tree, landing on Wu Xiaode's shoulder.

"Little Wu, shall I go with you?"

Chris showed an eager expression.

"Okay! Come along with me, that'll be best," Wu Xiaode readily agreed.

Chris immediately cheered.

She transformed into a small, cute black cat, perching on Wu Xiaode's shoulder.

Wu Xiaode suddenly looked down at his watch.

——The hands on the watch that records the Queen Mother of the West's safety began to stir.

"I've got to go back," he hurriedly said.

"Alright, take care of yourself. Release your True God aura whenever you want to come over, and I'll guide you here," Shen Feixue said.

Wu Xiaode nodded, and his figure suddenly disappeared in front of Shen Feixue.

On the other side.

In the corner of the street.

As soon as he appeared, he rushed into the restaurant, swiftly landing beside Shen Xiyao.

Bao Ya and Big Banana guarded behind her, relieved to see it was Wu Xiaode coming.

"Did something happen?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

"A few guys came over asking for contact information, but we blocked them," Big Banana said.

Wu Xiaode followed his gaze.

At another table not far away.

A few young men and women of similar age as Shen Xiyao sat there, glaring over with displeasure, holding phones and seemingly on calls with someone.

"Do you know them?" Wu Xiaode whispered.

"They get along well with my ex-boyfriend and me; just came over to cause trouble earlier," Shen Xiyao said.

Ex-boyfriend...

He remembered the first time he met Shen Xiyao, she was in a bar, being forced to drink a drugged drink by a pretty boy.

He had to take Shen Xiyao to the hospital for treatment.

What trash.

Wu Xiaode shrugged instinctively and called the server, "Arrange ten more tables of food, just the usual standard, all to go."

"...Alright," the server said.

After Wu Xiaode paid, the server immediately began arranging it.

A small black cat jumped down from Wu Xiaode's back, chasing after the server.

——That's the food for all the faeries in the Peach Village!

Not a single meal should be lost!

At this moment, the hotel's main door opened.

A tall, handsome man led seven or eight people inside, stopping directly before Shen Xiyao.

"Yaoyao, when I woke up last night, you were no longer in the bar."

He said with a smile.

"A Blood Clan appeared in the bar, should I have stayed there?" Shen Xiyao said.

The smile faded from the man's face as he said seriously:

"I saw the surveillance; you could have taken me with you but kicked me out of the car instead."

"Kevin, I planned to take you, but you drugged my drink," Shen Xiyao said.

She took out her phone, brought up the records of her hospital diagnosis and treatment, and handed it to Wu Xiaode, saying:

"Go, give it to the table over there, and bring back the phone to me after they've seen it." Shen Xiyao said.

"Yes, miss." Wu Xiaode took the phone and walked towards that table.

Kevin's face changed, and he shouted:

"Snatch the phone from him!"

Seven or eight people behind him immediately rushed towards Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode was stunned for a moment.

It's been too long—

It's been too long since he fought with normal humans.

Damn, it's really nostalgic!

He sidestepped, his figure moving like a phantom among the crowd, casually knocking them to the ground with his shoulders.

The phone was delivered safely to the table across.

"The miss asked you to see for yourselves."

Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

The men and women instinctively looked at the phone screen and indeed saw last night's consultation records.

Everything was clear.

But Wu Xiaode was surprised to find that they didn't react much.

Normally, if people discover a scumbag, they would at least say something, or at least men would show surprise, and women would show disdain.

However, they remained unmoved.

So—

They already knew about this?

Wu Xiaode turned back to look at Shen Xiyao.

Shen Xiyao had just awakened, but faintly she was already undergoing earth-shattering changes.

She looked at those people and said calmly:

"So you already knew."

A man stood up and said, "How can you blame Brother Kevin for that? It's always been like that when we go out to have fun. Yaoyao, you're just not up for it."

Shen Xiyao sneered and said, "Don't leave tonight, we'll head to the bar later, and I'll spike your drink, dare you to drink it?"

The man choked and couldn't speak.

Kevin intervened:

"Stop making a fuss, Yaoyao, I'll just assume you were being immature about last night, come with me later."

"I broke up with you." Shen Xiyao said.

"I don't allow it." Kevin said.

"I'm just informing you; I don't need your permission." Shen Xiyao said.

Kevin glanced at his men and then looked over at Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode grinned at him.

"Fine, wait and see, there will be a time when you'll be begging on your knees." Kevin threatened.

"What do you intend to do?" Shen Xiyao asked.

Kevin whispered in her ear: "When I get back, I'll have people check on your foster parents, and you'll surely love to see them in misery."

After speaking, he turned around and walked out without looking back.

Shen Xiyao took a pistol out of her pocket but was stopped by Wu Xiaode.

"Miss, comply with the law."

Wu Xiaode said softly.

Shen Xiyao looked at him and asked, "Besides protecting me, can other tasks be entrusted to you?"

"Overtime pay works fine for me." Wu Xiaode replied.

Shen Xiyao slowly closed her bag and quickly transferred some money to Wu Xiaode via her phone.

After the transaction was complete, her expression suddenly turned confused.

"I... never used to be like this, why do I now feel like I can see through what they're thinking at a glance?"

She said softly, "Why do I suddenly know how to handle these things?"

"That's normal, you're awakening." Wu Xiaode said.

"Little Wu, have you seen others awaken like this?" Shen Xiyao fixedly asked Wu Xiaode.

Little Wu's strength was formidable; he held his own against the demons last night, and today he casually dealt with Kevin's bodyguards.

——Clearly, he was truly a powerful professional.

He definitely knows some things about professionals!

Wu Xiaode chuckled lightly and said, "I've seen many people awaken, and it's just like yours, so you don't need to worry at all."

"All just like me, gradually understanding many things, feeling the power continually increasing?" Shen Xiyao pursued.

"Yes, you're all exactly the same; I was just like this back then too."

Wu Xiaode nonchalantly said.

"So... everyone is like this." Shen Xiyao said, relieved.

"That's right, you can just take it easy." Wu Xiaode said.

Since everyone was like this, Shen Xiyao calmed down.

Her aura fluctuations became stable again.

Wu Xiaode suddenly asked:

"That Kevin, what's he doing right now?"

Shen Xiyao said, "You hear that distant car roaring outside—he must be driving his limited edition supercar across Zhongjing Avenue, ready to head to the Queen Bar."

"Limited edition supercar? Please elaborate." Wu Xiaode asked with interest.

"Yes, his car is a black-and-white limited edition super electric 116, he's a fast driver, once killed someone in a crash, but nothing happened to him in the end." Shen Xiyao said.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shake her head and said softly in surprise:

"How did I ever fall for someone like that?"

Wu Xiaode said, "It's okay, it's all in the past. You're about to awaken, so be careful moving forward."

"Understood." Shen Xiyao replied.

Elsewhere.

The black-and-white super electric 116 was speeding down the avenue.

"Bring a few more chicks over here, damn it, I'm pissed off tonight, if they're not hot I'll deal with you, got it?"

Kevin was making a call while driving.

Suddenly.

He noticed there was someone else in the passenger seat.

——It was Shen Xiyao's bodyguard.

"How did you get in here!"

Kevin exclaimed.

He wanted to hit the brakes, but found himself tightly held by a layer of black, unable to move a bit.

——It was as if a giant hand had gripped him.

Ignoring him, Wu Xiaode picked up an unopened milk tea from the cup holder, poked it with a straw, and took a slow sip.

"Finally managed to become a Hall Master, now I have to work overtime doing Black and White Impermanence's job, I'll consider this milk tea my hardship bonus."

He patted Kevin's shoulder.

Kevin's face turned pale, forcing out a smile: "How much did Shen Xiyao give you? I'll double it."

Wu Xiaode shook his head:

"No need to spend more, your total wealth doesn't even amount to one-ten-thousandth of mine, or maybe it's one-millionth?"

With a slight nudge, he casually turned the steering wheel.

Boom—

The supercar roared with a ghostly fire sound, accelerated swiftly onto the cross-river bridge, crashed through the fence, and plunged towards the vast river below.
