"Is that so?" The ugly woman laughed loudly, when suddenly a breeze passed by her, a questioning voice rang out, and a sword blocked her way, instantly separating her body from her body.
With a 'bang,' the ugly woman's body disintegrated and fell to the ground. Her arrogant smile and her stunningly ugly face remained on her face.
Su Xijue's face was cold, but suddenly his mind was filled with the image of Wu Liuyin. Was this love?
Suddenly a strong wind arose, and a suction force pulled Su Xijue upwards.
At the entrance to the Trial Valley, amidst the howling winds and sandstorms, all the demons and monsters, seeing the valley entrance finally showing some unusual signs, were on high alert.
Amidst the sandstorm, a figure appeared and disappeared. When the sandstorm subsided, Su Xijue's disheveled figure appeared before the four of them.
The demons and monsters still remembered their words when they entered the valley: "I will definitely return within half a month." Every word was firm and resounding. Today is the fourteenth day since they entered the valley!
Now, Su Xijue has fulfilled his promise.
"I have returned!" After saying this, Su Xijue's body fell heavily to the ground, and his eyes closed as he could no longer hold on.
"master……"
"Your Highness..."
The four exclaimed in surprise, rushed forward to support the unconscious Su Xijue, and ran towards their hiding place.

The next day, in the Ghost Realm Forest, Wu Liuyin and her group of eight walked on rotten tree branches. Perhaps the rainy season had already passed, as the rotten branches were somewhat dry, and each step made a crisp sound.
It was already the second day since they entered the forest. They hadn't seen a single ferocious beast along the way, but Mairu felt that something was amiss.
Suddenly, a burst of multicolored light appeared ahead, and everyone became wary again.
"Who goes there?" Liehuo shouted.
Seeing that no one answered, the group of people groped their way forward.
A five-colored flower, radiating five colors, was seen on a tree stump that had already sprouted new branches.
Everyone looked on with curiosity.
Xia Zhiheng tilted his head, looking at the colorful flowers, his eyes deep in thought, when suddenly a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
Wu Liuyin stepped forward and picked the radiant flower.
"No..." Xia Zhiheng's voice was still a little slow, and Wu Liuyin had already picked the flower and scooped it into her hand.
"What's wrong?" Wu Liuyin turned around and asked.
“I remember now, this flower is called Five-Colored Pearl Grass. It only grows in the coldest and most yin places. It blooms once every fifty years and has miraculous healing effects, no less than the snow lotus of Qinglian Mountain. Eating this flower will open up the Ren, Du and Ear meridians in the body and greatly increase spiritual power. If a cripple eats it, he can recover his original spiritual power. However, this flower is guarded by a wild beast, a lion-tiger. Once this flower is picked, I'm afraid…” Xia Zhiheng had just finished speaking when a lion-tiger was already proudly standing behind Wu Liuyin, its eyes full of anger as it looked at the person holding the flower.
"Be careful!" Everyone looked at Wu Liuyin and said.
A tiger's roar echoed through the forest. With lightning speed, a palm strike pressed Wu Liuyin down.
The Lion-Tiger Beast is a type of beast that has been extinct on the continent for a hundred years. It is as large as an elephant, combining the ferocity of a tiger and the speed and endurance of a lion, hence the name Lion-Tiger Beast. They have only one purpose in attacking: to protect the Five-Colored Pearl Flower! As long as the flower exists, they exist; if the flower dies, they die!
"Liuyin..."
"master……"
"The Third Imperial Consort..."
Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, raging fire, oriole, and Xia Zhiheng all shouted out at once, witnessing Wu Liuyin disappear into the clutches of the lion-tiger beast.

"I'm not dead yet, so stay away to avoid getting hurt," Wu Liuyin said slowly from the treetop, looking down at the worried crowd below. In her hand, she held up the flower that had brought trouble—the Five-Colored Pearl Flower!
Suddenly a figure leaped down and appeared in front of the liger.
The group of Liehuo also obediently stayed at least ten meters away from the lion-tiger beast, but they all looked at Wu Liuyin with concern.
Upon seeing the person who hadn't been crushed to death, the liger roared and pounced on Wu Liuyin.
In a flash, Wu Liuyin was already sitting on the lion-tiger beast, and roared angrily: "Beast, behave yourself, or I'll tear out your tendons, skin you, and roast you to eat!" Suddenly, a burst of azure spiritual energy and powerful spiritual pressure erupted from her whole body, and the lion-tiger beast, which had been ferocious just now, suddenly bowed its head and submitted, lying on the ground, looking very docile.
That's what you call the invincible strong!
The wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were speechless. How domineering! She conquered the lion-tiger beast just like that. She truly deserves to be their third imperial consort!
Lie Huo gave a wicked smile; his master was no slouch either!
Huang Ying took another look at Wu Liuyin. Just how powerful was she?
Xia Zhiheng was once again struck by the sight of the docile tiger, but he quickly recovered and smiled gently.
"Zhiheng, come here," Wu Liuyin called out. Xia Zhiheng looked up, nodded, and slowly walked over.
"Eat these colorful beaded flowers."
Everyone was shocked again. This was a flower that bloomed only once every fifty years, with the miraculous effect of increasing spiritual power, and it was given to someone they had known for less than a month.
"Miss Liuyin, this gift is too much for Zhiheng to accept. Please accept it, in case it comes in handy someday." Xia Zhiheng looked at Wu Liuyin in shock. He hadn't expected Wu Liuyin to treat him like this. When he served in the Kongmen sect before, even though he was the most useful, the sect leader Konglingjiu hadn't treated him like this. There was still a master-servant relationship. But now Wu Liuyin had saved him, taken him in as her servant, and was now making him eat such a precious five-colored pearl flower. How could he possibly accept it?
The tough, resolute man's eyes were clouded with tears!
"Eat it if I tell you to," Wu Liuyin said rudely, stuffing the flower into Xia Zhiheng's mouth. Impatiently, she got off the lion-tiger beast and walked to Liehuo's side.
"Hmph, you're biased..." Suddenly, Liehuo let out a haughty snort, but it was all an act.
"Hehe, I'll give you all the rest later." Wu Liuyin actually laughed. Although her face could not be seen, one could still sense that Wu Liuyin, who was usually cold and rarely spoke, was laughing in a pleasant way, neither too loud nor too soft.
Xia Zhiheng swallowed the five-colored pearl flower, and suddenly his body radiated a strange light. A moment later, Xia Zhiheng looked radiant. As soon as the lion-tiger beast saw Xia Zhiheng, it pounced on him and began to lick him.
The liger wasn't stupid. It wasn't that the liger liked Xia Zhiheng; it was because Xia Zhiheng had swallowed the flower. Since the flower it was meant to protect was now inside Xia Zhiheng, it would simply protect Xia Zhiheng from now on.
"Alright, now that Zhiheng has recovered, let's speed up our journey," Wu Liuyin said, and everyone nodded!
Liehuo seemed a little upset as he walked at the front of the group. Wu Liuyin followed closely behind, with Xia Zhiheng walking beside her. Feng Yu Lei Dian lagged a little behind, chatting and laughing with Huang Ying along the way. Another lion-tiger beast leaped and bounded about, sometimes chasing flying insects, sometimes pretending to fight, tearing at the dry branches on the ground.
With eight men and one tiger, the team is growing stronger!

☆、071 Three people suddenly appeared
Nothing happened that night. When Wu Liuyin woke up, she saw that everyone else was still asleep, so she got up and walked into the depths of the forest to scout ahead.
Before the sun had risen in the east, dewdrops clung to the tips of every leaf in the woods, still carrying the scent of night. But as one ventured deeper into the forest, the dewdrops began to shimmer with various lights, gradually transforming into the hues of dawn.
I don't know how long I walked, but there was hardly any light left in the depths of the forest, and eerie cries could be heard everywhere.
Suddenly, voices came from not far away. Wu Liuyin squinted and crawled on the ground.
As soon as the cry arose, a white shadow flickered in the woods, revealing a girl in white. Her skin was as white as snow, and her hair was as thick as a raven's. She was not yet of marriageable age, appearing to be only seven or eight years old, yet her appearance was already extremely beautiful. She wore a white silk skirt embroidered with pearls and gold thread, tied with a white jade belt inlaid with green phoenix and dragon patterns. Her hairpin was as blue as sky with touches of green, and her earrings were like flowing silver inlaid with pearls. Even her embroidered shoes were embroidered with gold and silver threads, wrapped with five-colored peonies, making her indescribably luxurious.
A boy and a woman followed closely behind the girl.
The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and small, handsome and fair-skinned, with smooth skin from his cheeks to his neck like porcelain, but his clothes were very restrained, and he didn't even roll up his wet trouser legs.
The other woman was a bit older, and her slender figure could not be concealed by her loose and gorgeous clothes. A peony about to bloom was tattooed on her snow-white cheek, and her eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally beautiful. Not only was she unique among the women Wu Liuyin had met, but she would also be an outstanding beauty in the entire continent. However, she lacked spiritual energy and gave people a lifeless feeling.
"Sister Azalea, how much longer until we get through this forest? Lily doesn't like it here," a seven or eight-year-old girl suddenly turned around, pouting, and said to the older woman. She looked incredibly spirited, like a little fairy!
"I wonder how much longer Runyan has left?" The woman named Dujuan turned to look at the reserved young man beside her.
"It should take another half a month or so," the boy replied.
When the two looked at the little girl again, their eyes widened as big as saucers.
Behind the little girl, a two-headed python was already flicking its tongue, its greedy eyes fixed on the 'delicious' creature before it.
"Sister, be careful!" the woman cried out, her sword already drawn, aimed at the giant blue python behind the little girl. The boy lunged forward and pushed the little girl aside.

☆、072 Two-Headed Python
"Sister, be careful!" the woman cried out, her sword already drawn, aimed at the giant blue python behind the little girl. The boy lunged forward and pushed the little girl aside.
Unexpectedly, the cuckoo overlooked the fact that it was a two-headed python, focusing only on one head while the other head forcefully bit the woman's right leg.
"Ah..." the woman screamed as the giant python flung her aside and slammed her into a tree.
The two heads of the giant python glanced at each other, as if they had agreed beforehand to first scoop up the little girl to fill their teeth, and then quickly pounce on the little girl and boy who had fallen to the ground and were not yet able to get up.
