Chapter 716 (Ye Hua vs. Kai Yun)
Donghuang Baizhi understood and obediently sat on the side, waiting for her husband's triumphant return.
With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Hua made everyone around disappear, leaving only the tattered Nanwu Banner and, of course, Kai Yun.
Ye Hua didn't make the people vanish, he simply created an identical illusion. In Donghuang Baizhi's eyes, they were still sitting there, only Ye Hua and Kai Yun were nowhere to be seen.
The Five Banners frowned slightly at this moment, and with Ye Hua's absence, Donghuang Baizhi's position as the Empress began to emanate silently.
It seemed to say, "If any of you dare to make a move, don't blame me for taking action!"
The atmosphere instantly turned tense.
Lucifer, sitting on the side, remained silent, picking up his chopsticks to eat. Let them argue all they want, he couldn't see or hear anything. He would quietly leave later.
In the illusion.
Ye Hua looked at Kai Yun, while Kai Yun stared angrily back at him.
The two of them locked eyes, as if comparing who had the more intense death stare.
After a while, Ye Hua felt stupid for engaging in an eye-staring contest with a child.
"You're impressive," Kai Yun gradually dropped her smile, becoming serious as she slowly approached not far from Ye Hua.
This change in Kai Yun made Ye Hua slightly startled. Indeed... her frivolous appearance was just an act.
"I know, no need for you to remind me," Ye Hua said calmly.
Kai Yun twitched her mouth. She had never seen such an arrogant person before and made a face by pulling her eyelids. "I don't believe you."
Seeing Kai Yun making faces, Ye Hua thought it would be better to envision her as a chuunibyou girl to avoid disrupting his judgement. [The term "chuunibyou" is a Japanese slang phrase that translates to "eighth-grade syndrome" in English. It refers to a stage of adolescent delusions or exaggerated fantasies that some individuals may experience during their middle school years. People with chuunibyou often believe they possess special powers, secret knowledge, or a unique identity, which can manifest in their behaviour, fashion choices, or storytelling.]
"Then let's begin! This deity's time is precious!" Ye Hua said softly, then waved his hand.
Numerous illusions appeared around them, rolling and scrolling as Ye Hua's finger moved. They were all weapons and equipment.
Seeing Ye Hua's actions, Kai Yun was taken aback and shouted, "You! Are you going to wear equipment too?"
"You can wear them too," Ye Hua said indifferently.
Kai Yun pursed her lips. "But I don't have any."
"I see. Then I'll lend you one. Don't say I'm bullying you," Ye Hua said generously.
"Really? That's great!" Kai Yun happily ran towards Ye Hua and began choosing equipment.
She was really being indecisive.
"This colour is too vibrant, it doesn't suit me."
"This one looks like it won't look good on me when I wear it, with all those claws and fangs."
"This one is too revealing, I'm still a child."
"This one seems too heavy, it will definitely slow me down in battle."
Ye Hua's expression gradually darkened, unable to hold back as he shouted, "Do you want it or not? Stop being so wishy-washy!"
"Don't scold me. Is it not allowed for me to choose?" Kai Yun pouted and then pointed to a lightweight armour.
"It's this one."
Ye Hua didn't say anything, waving his hand, and Jin Ge Silk covered Kai Yun's body.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Kai Yun happily twirled around, then asked, "Does it look good?"
Ye Hua replied indifferently, "Average."
"Hmph~ It's obviously good-looking," Kai Yun pouted and even took out her phone to take a selfie, even doing the peace sign.
Ye Hua felt a little frustrated. The Jin Ge Silk was a decent Primordial divine artefact. It didn't provide much protection, but it had astonishing defensive effects against fire attacks.
In other words, his Primordial Flame couldn't cause devastating damage to her.
The deity once again hit himself in the foot!
Being pretentious! It would be even more satisfying to win later...
This Banner Master is too lucky, it's really impossible to beat...
Ye Hua himself chose an armour with average protection but strong magical defence.
Its name was Mu Wang Armor!
The entire armour covered him from head to toe, with intertwining gold and red colours that looked quite impressive. It even had a cloak on the back, showcasing his grandeur.
Now, he needed to choose a weapon to match this set of armour.
