————

Yino and Ye Huai had no fundamental conflict of interest, so after Yino knocked him out with a simple punch for physical memory loss, he handed him over to Yuebai and Jinyue for memory cleansing.

So-called memory cleansing, while sounding simple, was no joke in practice, one wrong move could turn someone into an idiot.

To prevent Chaerin from noticing anything suspicious, Yino only had Jinyue and Yuebai simply erase Ye Huai’s memories of getting beaten in the realm.

This way, when Ye Huai woke up, he wouldn’t remember Yino exposing his evil cultivator identity.

He’d probably only remember suddenly fainting in the realm, then waking up to find Yino and Ruoning already gone.

In a sense, this was probably the most merciful way of Yino dealing with enemies.

“Ruoning, let’s go.”

Taking one last look at Ye Huai sleeping like a baby, Yino stood up, dusted off his hands, and prepared to continue.

Ruoning was quite satisfied with this outcome.

From her perspective, Ye Huai wasn’t inherently bad. When she’d first arrived at the Liuli Sect, he’d been quite friendly and enthusiastic toward his junior sister…

Though Ye Huai’s provocation this time was rather inexplicable, if Yino had really killed him in a fit of rage, it would have been too extreme for Ruoning’s innocent heart.

At least in Ruoning’s view, Ye Huai wasn’t as physically repulsive as Xumo or Lin Ze, he didn’t deserve death.

“By the way… leaving him here like this, won’t there be some danger…”

Before leaving, Ruoning couldn’t help but glance back.

Yino waved dismissively:

“This is only the second floor of the realm, there aren’t any dangerous monsters here. Besides, we just finished off all the small fry on this level. Ye Huai can have a nice nap here, and maybe when he wakes up, the realm will be over and he can go home.”

“That… make sense…”

Ruoning shrugged, somehow feeling like Yino’s explanation was a bit of dark humor.

She stopped worrying about Ye Huai and followed Yino and Mei’s group.

However, this time when Ruoning habitually went to hold Yino’s hand, she suddenly realized she was just half a step too late, her usual spot had already been claimed by a certain red foxgirl.

“Eh…?”

“What’s with the ’eh’? Acting like someone stole something from you.”

Jinyue raised an eyebrow with slight disdain, swishing her tail: “This is the Liuli Illusion Realm. You monopolized Master back at the Liuli Sect, but now that we’re in a secret realm, it’s my turn by rights!”

“But… sister…”

The sudden competition for favor left Ruoning momentarily stunned.

She tried to argue with the brazenly confident Jinyue, but thinking carefully about her reasoning, Ruoning couldn’t find a counterpoint.

“But what? Can your amateur illusion techniques match even half of what these eyes of mine can do? Going forward in this secret realm, won’t we still need me to be Yino’s eyes!”

Jinyue grew more confident as she spoke, not taking Ruoning seriously at all.

After all, back in the Azure Forest, Jinyue had accidentally saved Ruoning’s life.

At that time, having just escaped death, Ruoning would practically call Jinyue Sister whenever the fox demon bared her teeth and hissed at her…

Now, six months later, with even higher cultivation, Jinyue’s abyssal aura was naturally oppressive to Ruoning, who’d been pampered since childhood.

“Sister, you’re going too…!”

The girl clenched her fists in anger.

But before she could finish, the red fox girl walking ahead just turned back and slightly narrowed her seductive eyes marked with abyssal patterns.

The next second, Ruoning, who’d been about to explode, instantly broke into a cheerful smile and meekly tucked her tail: “Sister Jinyue makes a good point… Ruoning has been with Yino all this time, it really should be Sister Jinyue’s turn…”

“Hmph, if it weren’t for me back then, you’d have been captured and corrupted by Liuli long ago!”

“Sister Jinyue is absolutely right…”

Ruoning’s lips twitched. Though she spoke politely, her heart couldn’t hide the humiliation and resentment burning within.

He was clearly her fiancé, yet now she was being lectured like a subordinate by a fox…

Fundamentally, it was because Ruoning’s cultivation wasn’t high enough!

If she could break through to Nascent Soul stage now, she could pressure Jinyue, and when confronting her, Ruoning would have much more confidence!

Thinking this, Ruoning became even more determined to breakthrough:

“Yino, that opportunity you mentioned that belongs to me, it’s really at the end of this maze…”

Intimidated by the possessive foxgirl, Ruoning didn’t dare grab Yino’s arm again, just caught up with a few steps and asked seriously, puffing out her face.

Yino naturally understood the subtle atmosphere between the two.

However, he didn’t want to interfere in the women’s infighting, just smiled gently with a mild tone:

“Don’t rush. Before reaching the final destination, we need to visit several [Trial] secret realms to collect enough [Artifacts], basically blessings or curses…”

“Otherwise, with just our current cultivation levels, we probably wouldn’t last three seconds under those legendary phantom butterfly wings.”

… … …

Liuli Illusion Realm, Final Divine Palace.

A red-robed man walked with light steps, stopping before a massive arched gate and slowly pressing an ancient talisman carved with phantom butterfly totems against the formation barrier on the stone door.

RUMBLE—!!!

The talisman successfully activated the formation, and the huge stone archway opened like curtains to both sides.

The red-robed man smiled and continued walking toward the palace depths.

His peripheral vision caught several graceful, dancing figures on both sides of the divine palace, but he didn’t dare linger to admire their beauty. Instead, he kept his gaze straight ahead, looking up at the black silhouette seated high at the palace’s end, prostrating in worship before that ancient throne.

“Palace Master, I am Zhu Che. My father spoke with you beforehand.”

“That old lamp actually raised such a neither-human-nor-ghost son…”

The black shadow curled his lips in a somewhat mocking sneer.

Below the throne, the red-robed man dared not speak, merely maintaining his humble, low-browed posture.

Seeing no response, the black shadow laughed alone in his loneliness.

His brow gradually fell, silently exhaling a turbid breath full of lingering resentment, then casually tossed several spirit forms before the red-robed man.

“Take these [Artifacts]. According to the agreement with old Zhu, as long as you can bring the Innate Liuli Holy Physique into this palace, once it’s done, you may choose anything from this Liuli Divine Palace’s treasure vault accumulated over thousands of years.”

“After all, before Dia … these worldly things are nothing but scrap metal anyway…”
