The Li family ancestor asked tentatively, "What if we fail to do it?"
Xu Chunniang curled her lips and smiled, her eyes looking meaningful.
"If you can't do that, then you can only repay it with everything you have now, like Fellow Daoist Qingxuan did."
The four ancestors shuddered at the same time and dared not think about it any further.
"Don't worry, Brother Xu. We will definitely do what we said."
"With your assurance, I feel much more relieved. The internal affairs of the Meng, Li, Yue, and An families will be handled by the four of you.
Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. There is a time limit for repaying karma. If you delay, you will only hurt yourself."
"Yes, please rest assured, Brother Xu, we will definitely take care of the household affairs."
After the four of them left, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They almost died today, but luckily they managed to save their lives!
After a few people left, Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai rushed towards Xu Chunniang from the left and right.
Little Orange looked at him with admiration, his face full of pride.
"Sister, you are so majestic! Several venerable people of the human race were so scared in front of you that they dared not even breathe."
Xu Chunniang pinched her face amusedly.
"They are afraid, not because I am so strong, but because they have done something wrong and will be punished by heaven sooner or later. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
Little Orange stuck out his tongue, thinking that although what his elder sister said made sense, there were so many injustices in the world that even Heaven could not sort them all out.
If it weren't for my sister's intervention, who knows how long these people would have continued to abuse their power.
When Xu Chunniang saw Xiaojuzi's expression, she guessed what she was thinking and spoke in a more serious tone.
“The course of nature is constant and the way of heaven is clear; good and bad fortune come from nowhere, but only from people themselves. Many times, it is not that the way of heaven is unfair and unwilling to punish, but that the time has not come yet.”
"I see."
This time, Little Orange was convinced and nodded seriously.
Several demon lords looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and saluted Xu Chunniang with his fists clasped.
"Now that the human race's internal affairs have been dealt with, it's time for us to leave. Xiaojuzi, Xiaobai, let's go."
Little Orange showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind and spoke.
"Second Master, Xiaobai and I want to practice with my elder sister and we won't return to the demon tribe."
The Second Master frowned, "I admit that your sister has some abilities, but she is a human cultivator after all.
You and Xiaobai have adapted well to the demon tribe since you came to the spirit world. Returning to the demon tribe is the path you two should take."
"I know, but my sister said that she would use the law of time to help us practice. Then, we can ascend to the fairyland together..."
"What? She is well versed in the laws of time?"
Several demon lords were quite surprised and looked at Xu Chunniang with suspicion, but thinking of the other party's unpredictable methods, they did not say any questioning words.
The law of time is obscure and profound, and few people can comprehend and master it. The other party looks young, has he really comprehended the law of time
Facing the four people's suspicious gazes, Xu Chunniang nodded, "Yes, I am indeed proficient in the laws of time."
As she spoke, she casually pointed at a cut-off mountaintop on the ground, and in an instant, the power of time fell down.
The cut-off mountain top kept changing and soon returned to its original appearance before it was destroyed. There were many lush and green trees growing on the mountain.
Several demon lords and the treeman king Bai Ran were all staring in amazement. It was really the legendary law of time that could reverse time!
Little Orange was very proud and boasted to several masters, "I told you that Sister knows the law of time. Now you should believe it, right?"
Several demon lords looked at each other, suppressed the shock in their hearts, and looked at Xiaojuzi with a hint of kindness that was inconsistent with their status.
"I believe it, your sister is really powerful, but the law of time can only speed up the passage of time.
If you and Xiaobai want to keep up with her, you will have to endure hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years of loneliness. Have you really thought about it?"
Xiaojuzi nodded and said nonchalantly, "I've thought about it. Anyway, I have Xiaobai to accompany me, so practicing is not that difficult.
Besides, my aptitude is pretty good, so it won’t take me tens of thousands of years.”
Xiao Bai also said seriously, "We will practice hard."
The second master smiled gently and touched the heads of Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai.
"I understand your intentions. This is your chance. Now that you have made the decision, we, as your masters, will naturally support it.
After all, not everyone can have such an opportunity, so learn from your sister. "
"Second Master..."
Little Orange's eyes became moist. He looked at the Second Master eagerly, then looked at the other masters in turn, sobbing.
"Third Master, Fourth Master, Sixth Master, you are so kind!"
"Haha, you are so old and still crying. When you go to the fairyland, don't embarrass your masters!"
Little Orange sniffed and tilted his head in confusion.
"Masters, you have never been to the fairyland. Even if I humiliate you, no one will recognize you!"
"You little brat!"
Several demon lords were so angry that they blew their beards and glared, "Look at what you are saying, are you disgusted with us so soon
Our cultivation base is not low, we may have ascended to the heavens before you!"
"It's settled then. You masters have to work harder than us!"
Xiaojuzi smiled and made a face, hiding behind Xiaobai, "You are all demon lords, how can you be left behind by your disciple? That would be too embarrassing!"
"Little brat!"
Several demon lords looked at Xiaojuzi in a helpless manner, but they did not get angry. They just bowed seriously to Xu Chunniang.
"I'll leave these two troublesome little guys to you. If they dare to disobey, feel free to beat them up."
Xu Chunniang responded with a smile, "Don't worry, they are a little more lively, but they are not bad by nature."
After hearing this, the demon lords finally felt relieved.
The human race is different from the demon race. The demon race is free and uninhibited by nature, while the human race has many rules. They are also afraid that Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai will be wronged.
Before leaving, several demon lords gave instructions to Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai.
"Remember not to rush into anything when cultivating. If you encounter any problems, you can always send us a message."
Little Orange patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, masters, we will practice hard and ascend to heaven soon.
You guys should not let up, or we two will overtake you."
Listening to the words of the traitor, several demon lords felt that they were about to lose control of the beast nature in their bodies and really wanted to beat this guy up.
It was Xiaobai who saw that the situation was not good and hurried to rescue Xiaojuzi.
"Don't worry, Masters. Xiaojuzi and I know the importance of this matter. We will never ruin our own immortal path for the sake of a temporary gain."
