As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 876: Chapter 274: A bet that could break the journey, with Gou accompanying Xi Xi through the Temple Guardian Challenge [Seeking Monthly Tickets]_3

Jin Taixui furrowed his brows and looked at Yun E.

“Temple God Reincarnation?”

“No, that’s not right… Are you feeding yourself to the god?”

“I see now, my loss wasn’t undeserved.”

Jin Taixui spoke calmly, the colorful patterns painted on his face trembling slightly.

The second…

The second Heart Test!

Since the age of three, he had been thrown into the Mysterious Temple, where he grew up crawling and scraping, a tempering that honed his soul. In the Heart Test, he showcased a significant advantage.

The Heart Test… created through the Dao Yun Power of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Ancestor, manifests as an illusion realm. Dao Yun senses the tribulations and pains deeply rooted in one’s heart.

No one can entirely overcome their trials and pains—it only comes down to how long one can endure.

Because some pains and tribulations are incredibly enduring, to experience them again may yield an even lesser performance than before.

Jin Taixui gazed at the tiny figure of Xi Xi, who resembled a little bean sprout, a flicker of strangeness flashing in his eyes.

He no longer dared to underestimate Xi Xi. After all, she’d already beaten him before.

This little girl had whipped out a mechanism, bombarded him ruthlessly, and nearly sent him off for good.

“Sister Yun E!”

Xi Xi’s small feet moved quickly, patter-pattering as she dashed to Yun E’s side.

Yun E’s icy-cold gaze softened with a touch of warmth as she looked at Xi Xi.

She ruffled Xi Xi’s hair: “Xi Xi is so impressive, lasting until the third round of the Heart Test. It wasn’t easy—you must have suffered a lot, didn’t you?”

Yun E knew all too well how grueling the Heart Test was.

The inner pains were peeled open again to be relived more intensely—it was worse than a nightmare.

But Xi Xi vigorously shook her head: “Xi Xi didn’t suffer at all! Xi Xi had a great time. My dad was always protecting me!”

Yun E chuckled speechlessly.

She gently stroked Xi Xi’s head.

“Such a pity… It looks like this time, the direct disciple slot of the Taibai God is mine for certain.”

Jin Taixui crossed his arms, his ten-year-old figure already quite lanky, almost fit to be called a young man.

“If Gongshu Wentian or Xuan Yue managed to reach the third round, I might feel some pressure. After all, the Gongshu Family is the lineage of the Chief Supervisor of the Grand Prospect Heavenly Observatory. Gongshu Wentian is actually quite competent.”

“Xuan Yue hails from the Xuanfu Divine Sect and is also quite strong…”

“But as for the two of you…”

Jin Taixui had always been wild and uninhibited. He was arrogant because, in the Great Vista, arrogance was imperative to showcase the brilliance of Da Li’s prodigies.

“A five-year-old little girl and some trash reliant entirely on Temple God powers to stand here…”

“You pose almost no threat to me.”

The disdain in Jin Taixui’s words was unabashed.

Jin Taixui turned to Xi Xi: “I admit, little girl, your talent ceiling is quite good. With all sorts of enhancements, you should have Purple Qi Reaching Heaven level potential…”

“But you’re merely five years old. How strong can your actual power be? If it weren’t for your use of mechanisms, I could crush you as easily as a defeated dog.”

So brazen!

Xi Xi immediately furrowed her brows angrily!

“You defeated loser, how dare you look down on Emperor Xi Xi!”

With hands on her hips, Xi Xi puffed out her little stomach and scolded him loudly.

Jin Taixui’s face darkened: “Who’s your defeated loser? That was a sneak attack! And you used mechanisms to sneak attack me—how dare you call me a defeated loser!”

“Little girl, do you dare to take a gamble with me?!” Jin Taixui squinted, fixing his gaze on Xi Xi with a crooked, malicious grin.

“A gamble?”

Xi Xi instantly recalled the scene of betting against Ji Haihui, the Evil Minister, in the past.

Her head shook like a rattle drum.

“I’m not betting with you people who don’t keep your word. Losing and then refusing to settle—the whole thing’s pointless,” Xi Xi said.

Jin Taixui’s brows furrowed: “I am the Young Witch of Wushen Mountain! How could I possibly not keep my word?”

“The last one also said the same. He was the esteemed Young Prince! He promised that if he lost, he’d become Xi Xi’s little servant. But then he lost and wouldn’t admit it.”

Xi Xi sighed and shrugged.
