Chapter 1379: I'm Not Ready Yet
Yang Fei hummed softly and sighed lightly.
"No matter what kind of alliance it is, over time, if no one upholds justice, it will inevitably be forgotten. The Witch King should have been a member of the Dragon Chant Temple Parliament, but the Witch King he..."
At this point, Yang Fei stopped talking. Nuannuan understood his implication and sighed too.
"You're right, the Witch King has passed away, and the whereabouts of the other parliamentarians are unknown. Who would care about the Dragon Chant Temple alliance from back then?"
Yang Fei nodded: "That's right, unless the Martial God reappears, with his dominance, no one would dare to defy the alliance."
"The alliance needs strong power to maintain, otherwise, it's just a piece of paper."
Yang Fei recalled the stolen sacred object of the Wu Clan, feeling curious.
"Nuannuan, the purpose of the Immortal Race starting this war is to seize your sacred object. Do you know what the sacred object is?"
"The Crystal Skull!"
Nuannuan blurted out without hesitation, then shook her head.
"The legend of the Crystal Skull is widespread in the Wu Clan, but I've never seen it. Had my grandfather not told me that the sacred object was on the altar, I would have doubted its existence."
Yang Fei was skeptical: "What use does that item have?"
"The Immortal Race waged war, causing so many deaths, and the Wu Clan treasures it as a jewel. I believe it definitely has a great mystery."
Nuannuan sighed: "According to my grandfather, the Crystal Skull holds a world-shaking secret, and there are a total of twelve spread across this world."
"Back then, the Martial God only found three, and handed one to the Witch Master for safekeeping. The Witch Master valued it greatly and secretly treasured it as a sacred object."
"But none of us expected that for this seemingly ordinary thing, the Immortal Race would come out in full force, violating the Dragon Chant Temple alliance just to war with the Wu Clan."
Yang Fei nodded: "The high-levels of the Immortal Race aren't fools. For them to go to such lengths for the Crystal Skull, it must not be a mundane item."
Nuannuan lowered her head sorrowfully: "Unfortunately, the Crystal Skull was snatched by that damned Oskilov."
"I'm so useless. I couldn't even protect the item left by my father."
As Nuannuan spoke, her eyes reddened, appearing very sad.
Yang Fei comforted Nuannuan: "Don't worry, when the opportunity arises, I'll help you snatch it back. As long as you're alive, no enemy is undefeatable."
Mentioning Oskilov made Nuannuan even more dejected.
"The top ten princes of the Immortal Race have unfathomable martial arts, all ancient monsters who've lived for many years. Oskilov is so formidable, my chances to reclaim the Wu Clan's sacred object are slim."
Yang Fei laughed heartily: "Don't boost others' morale and undermine your own."
"Don't worry. One day, I'll turn that old bastard Oskilov into a dead dog for you to ride."
Nuannuan blushed and spat at Yang Fei: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who would... ride that old villain?"
Yang Fei laughed heartily, knowing this girl was quite clever: "Just a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue."
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Fei's optimism and carefree attitude gradually influenced Nuannuan.
This girl's childlike heart forgot the dangerous situation she was in and, surprisingly, she started laughing and chatting with Yang Fei.
Yang Fei appeared carefree and easygoing, but inside he was rather worried.
Oskilov's martial arts realm was unknown to be beyond the True Martial Realm.
His Martial Essence was formidable, infiltrating deep into Yang Fei's meridians, like a steel net, binding Yang Fei's Gang Yuan Qi from running.
Yang Fei activated the Snake Devouring Heart Technique and suddenly felt the Gang Yuan Qi running smoothly, devouring a bit of the opponent's cold Essence Qi.
At once, Yang Fei was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his Nine Extremes training to be so miraculous.
Though the Snake Devouring was slow in devouring Essence Qi, it was as persistent as water dripping through stone.
This gradual dissolution could resolve Oskilov's Martial Dao Prohibition and prove highly beneficial for Yang Fei himself.
Nuannuan suddenly saw Yang Fei's face full of smiles and was greatly surprised.
"Uncle, we're both captives, why are you so happy?"
Yang Fei laughed heartily to comfort Nuannuan.
"Relax, I have a way to escape. Just be patient and give me some time."
At this, Nuannuan was both surprised and delighted, her eyes sparkling: "Uncle... you have a way?"
Yang Fei nodded: "Exactly, I have a way to resolve this old turtle's Martial Dao Prohibition, just watch."
After saying this, Yang Fei stopped talking to Nuannuan, silently deploying the Snake Devouring, gradually dissolving the Essence Qi of the Martial Dao Prohibition within him.
Nuannuan, exhausted and sleepy, fell into a deep slumber, while Yang Fei poured all his efforts into devouring the Martial Dao Prohibition left by Oskilov.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually brightened, revealing that the night had passed and dawn was quietly arriving.
When Nuannuan woke up, the sky was already bright.
Nuannuan yawned heavily, feeling unbearable pain all over without the protection of Essence Qi.
The sounds of guns and cannons outside had long ceased, indicating that the battle had already ended.
Thinking of this calamity for the Wu Clan, Nuannuan felt deeply distressed and couldn't fall back asleep. She stared blankly at Yang Fei's face.
The golden sunlight shone on Yang Fei's distinctly contoured face, making his skin appear translucent.
This made him seem like the legendary Golden War God, magnificent and handsome.
Nuannuan gazed at Yang Fei's profile, feeling a strange emotion rising in her heart.
"Actually... Uncle is really handsome."
Nuannuan had just thought this when her heart suddenly skipped a beat, feeling flustered and slightly embarrassed by her unexpected emotions.
"What was I just thinking? Damn it, is this... spring fever? Oh no, how could I have feelings for Uncle!"
Having realized her inner thoughts, Nuannuan felt like a startled little deer, her heart racing, her face burning, surely already flushed red.
"No, no, I can't have any thoughts about this flirtatious uncle, who's bound to have countless women."
Nuannuan, realizing her feelings, felt like a trapped beast in a snare, frantically trying to escape.
"I can't fall for this. This man is lecherous and frivolous, so old, with such a foul mouth, narcissistic and disgusting..."
Nuannuan desperately thought of Yang Fei's faults in her mind.
But the more she thought of Yang Fei's faults, the hotter her cheeks became, and the faster her heart raced.
Nuannuan cried out softly: "Oh no, I've been captivated, what should I do?"
At this moment, Yang Fei opened his eyes, looking at Nuannuan with a smile.
"What's wrong, little girl, who got captured? Don't worry, I'm here to help you!"
As he spoke, he leisurely stood up, his body full of energy and Essence Qi abundant.
Nuannuan felt flustered, her face flushed red.
"Uncle, how did you wake up so quickly? I... wasn't ready at all."
Suddenly seeing Yang Fei open his eyes, Nuannuan was so startled she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Yang Fei.
