Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: The Malice of the World

The Corpse Turtle fixed its gaze on the little girl. She noticed and glared back furiously, as if entering a staring contest to see who was more ferocious.

This girl... what’s wrong with her? Isn’t she afraid of me? the Corpse Turtle fumed. With that thought, it let out a strange, ghostly shriek that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it, causing their hair to stand on end.

"Ugh, that sounds horrible," the little girl grumbled unhappily in Wu Tian’s arms. She much preferred pleasant sounds, and the Corpse Turtle’s screech was worse than a pig being slaughtered.

That’s it. I’ve had enough. This young lady can’t take it anymore!

The little girl wiggled her bottom, signaling for Wu Tian to set her down. He immediately obliged. This Corpse Turtle hadn’t even reached the so-called Innate realm, so she would have no problem dealing with it.

"Wu Tian, what are you doing?" Zhao Zetian exclaimed in disbelief.

"What do you think?" Wu Tian replied indifferently, ignoring him.

Before Zhao Zetian could say more, one of the Xieling Strongmen gasped, "How cruel."

The Mount Mover Daoist had the same thought. He sized Wu Tian up and down. With his heroic features, Wu Tian didn’t seem like a ruthless person, but the Daoist now felt he had been mistaken.

A tiger, however vicious, won’t eat its own cub. But this Wu Tian? He’s putting his own daughter in front of him as a shield? This man is terrifying... far too terrifying.

Wu Tian didn’t care what others thought. He simply smiled at his daughter and said, "Go on, do what you want to do."

"Okay," the little girl responded. She turned to the Corpse Turtle, snorted, and declared, "I don’t like you. I’m going to punish you in the name of the moon!"

Zhao Zetian and the others exchanged glances, momentarily dumbfounded.

"Such an adorable child. What a pity," a Xieling Strongman murmured softly.

The Mount Mover Daoist nodded in agreement. He saw the little girl’s cute and clever appearance, a true uncut gem. Unfortunately, with a father like Wu Tian, she was being corrupted!

How can this Corpse Turtle be compared to a common cockroach? Do you really think a child can handle it?

"Mr. Wu Tian, can she really do it?" Lin Zhan, who was also fond of the little girl, asked Wu Tian in a low, worried voice.

"Don’t worry," Wu Tian chuckled. Even if she couldn’t defeat the Corpse Turtle, he was still here. Who could possibly harm his daughter? Besides, the girl was an exceptionally talented fighter. Even before learning any of Wu Tian’s techniques, she was already the undisputed champion of her kindergarten. Fighting seemed to be instinctual for her.

The Corpse Turtle crawled toward the little girl. She rubbed her hands together in anticipation but deliberately put on a look of fear. Why? Because back in kindergarten, whenever she showed a hint of excitement for a fight, the other kids would immediately beg for mercy or run away. She had finally found a worthy opponent; how could she let it get scared off?

The Corpse Turtle, completely unaware of her thoughts, was delighted to see her feigned terror. Be afraid... yes, be afraid! I love seeing you humans make that face. In a moment, I’ll devour you in one bite. What a treat!

Finally, the Corpse Turtle crawled right up to the little girl. Zhao Zetian, Zhao Mulan, and the others were panicking, unable to watch.

The Corpse Turtle was also dumbfounded. It was a wolf facing what it thought was a little lamb, only for the lamb to suddenly transform into a ferocious tiger. It struggled to move, not wanting to be stepped on, but she had it pinned so tightly that even twitching was difficult. Even an idiot like me knows by now that this isn’t a little girl, but a little monster! What am I, a mere Corpse Turtle? A girl this young being so terrifying... *she’s* the real monster, isn’t she?

I don’t want to leave the stone coffin anymore! The child outside is too scary!

I have to escape! I have to escape! I quit the Jianghu! The Corpse Turtle felt the world’s deep malice toward it. Otherwise, why would I run into a little Ominous Star right after a full meal? This is no different from a death row inmate eating his last meal before being dragged off for execution!
