"Thank you then, but I'm not interested in that divine artifact." Wu Liuyin suddenly smiled. She only had one weapon, and she would get it in a day. She wouldn't use anything designed by others.

Murong Fanghua certainly lived a life without regrets. He was a favorite of the heavens, possessing stunning beauty, innate spiritual power, and a background determined from birth. He had talent, looks, ability, and power—a typical ancient "tall, rich, and handsome" man.
Compared to the enchanting beauty of Liehuo and the domineering masculinity of Su Xijue, he possesses a dual nature, combining the best of both to surpass them. In addition, he has a transformation technique that is different from ordinary people since childhood.
He is God's favorite, absolutely!
"Understood, it will be taken care of immediately," the three said in unison, and they all withdrew. They secretly chuckled; they would probably never forget Murong Fanghua's pathetic state, but they could only laugh in private. They certainly didn't want to lose their heads!
When Murong Fanghua looked up again, her eyes were almost squinting with laughter.
On the roof beam, a fiery red head of hair, fair skin, and a conflicted expression stared wide-eyed at Wu Liuyin's door.
"Master... I was wrong, sob sob sob... I'll never dare to do it again," Liehuo cried out in his heart. That hateful Murong Fanghua actually deliberately wanted to see him make a fool of himself, and he was watching openly.
That gaze felt like it was slowly but surely slicing through her fiery heart, a heart too fragile to withstand any stimulation. Wu Liuyin was definitely more cunning than her scheming father.
The door, which had been eagerly awaited like the stars and the moon, finally opened. Wu Liuyin slowly walked out of the room, turned around and closed the door behind her. Suddenly, she saw the figure in front of her.
"Hahahaha..." The usually serious Wu Liuyin suddenly clutched her stomach and laughed, seemingly unaware of what was going on. How could Liehuo be hanging from the rafters with her private parts exposed!
Seeing Wu Liuyin's heartless smile, Liehuo fell silent; he had truly had the worst luck in his life.
At the table, Wu Liuyin slowly sipped her tea, looking at Murong Fanghua and Liehuo beside her.
"Did this really happen yesterday?" Wu Liuyin raised an eyebrow and asked, clearly disbelieving that she had stripped the two of them naked and hung them from the roof beam.
"Wu Liuyin, let me tell you, you can't renege on your debt. I'll remember this for the rest of my life. Hmph, even though you are my master, you are not worthy of being my master, Liehuo, to treat your servants so badly. Hmph, I declare that I will have a cold war with you!" Liehuo suddenly jumped up and moved away from Wu Liuyin.
He spoke in a loud voice.
This once again attracted the attention of those around them.
"Hey, isn't this the handsome young man from this morning? What a pity, so good-looking but he's a boy." Suddenly, a voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reached the ears of the three.
Murong Fanghua and Wu Liuyin exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

☆、052 Asura Slash Appears
Liehuo was humiliated, his face flushed red, he glared at the person who spoke, and rushed forward.
With a few quick blows, the man who had spoken was left with a bruised and swollen face, looking like he had a pig's head stuck on his body. Even his own mother probably wouldn't recognize him standing right in front of her!
He finally managed to vent his anger, but he still couldn't get over it, and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Wu Liuyin smiled and shook her head.
That smile, with its cold and alluring corners, was unfortunately hidden by a veil, so no one could see it.
Without the freckles, she would be stunningly beautiful, even if it meant losing her physique to the moon or the flowers.
"Liuyin, have you forgotten?" Murong Fanghua leaned forward and asked.
"Hmm, where is that person?" Wu Liuyin nodded and asked. She hadn't forgotten the person she had rescued before, and had originally planned to ask Murong Fanghua for the person a month later.
"Oh, he's at Hua Man Lou. Someone's taking care of him there. But how are you going to thank me for this favor?" Murong Fanghua said with a grin. Since Wu Liuyin didn't remember, that was fine too, lest a bad impression remain in Wu Liuyin's mind.
"When I asked you for help, I didn't say I'd thank you; you agreed on your own."
Wu Liuyin's words nearly made Murong Fanghua spit out the tea he had just drunk. This was outrageous! How could this woman act so matter-of-factly?! Thinking about it, he realized he hadn't actually asked for anything in return, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Hammer, today a golden light suddenly appeared in the forest near the entrance of the Trial Valley. According to the brothers there, the number one divine weapon on the continent, the Asura Slash, has appeared. I guarantee it. People all over the continent who heard about this are rushing there to find the whereabouts of the divine weapon. We can't fall behind. Whoever gets the divine weapon will rule the world! At that time, we brothers will be able to command the wind and rain without any problem!" A sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The three of them then stepped through the door and sat down at an empty table.
When the Asura Slash appears, chaos reigns! When a Spirit Maiden emerges, the continent is born; when a Demoness appears, the continent is destroyed!
Murong Fanghua's smile froze instantly. The Asura Slash had appeared? Why hadn't he received any news about it? His trip out of the palace wasn't just about Su Xijue's sudden withdrawal to the border, but also about finding out the whereabouts of the Asura Slash that disappeared a hundred years ago. He came to Fandu based on the clues he had finally obtained!
I never expected that the Asura Slash would appear next to the Trial Valley!

"Hehe, so what are your plans next? Why don't you come with me to the Trial Valley to see the artifact and see how I obtain it?" Murong Fanghua asked with a smile.
In Wu Liuyin's memory, Murong Fanghua's face was always smiling and very infectious, while Su Xijue's face was always sour and he always put on airs.
Suddenly, he remembered Su Xijue, whom he had only met a few times, and the question popped into his mind: Where is his defeated foe now?!
"No, although I'm also going to the Trial Valley, our purposes are different. You do your thing, I'll do mine," Wu Liuyin refused. While she didn't dislike Murong Fanghua, she didn't like him either, and still felt that she and Liehuo should find out their parents' whereabouts first. Who holds the world? The First Divine Artifact? She wasn't interested.
That's how Mai Ryune is; she studies things she's interested in with all her might, and never touches things she's not interested in.
Wu Liuyin didn't stay long before going upstairs; she preferred quiet.
Murong Fanghua didn't press the matter further, but quickly went back to his room to pack. While Wu Liuyin was important, the safety of Shura Zhan and his territory was even more crucial.
At the entrance to the Trial Valley, demons and monsters looked at the golden light that was still emerging in the distance and stared at each other.
The Asura Slash?! The four of them thought of this at the same time. They never expected that the Asura Slash, which had disappeared for a hundred years, would reappear.
A hundred years ago, the continent was actually divided into four parts: East Demon Capital, North Mortal Capital, West Imperial Capital, and South Hua Capital. Hua Capital was ruled by the Feng Clan. Later, the Shura Slash appeared, causing chaos on the continent. The rulers of each continent wanted to seize the Shura Slash to unify the entire continent. In the end, Feng Ziyu, the emperor of the Feng Clan of Hua Capital, seized the Shura Slash and then started a war. The other three kingdoms could not withstand Hua Capital's attack and formed an alliance to destroy Hua Capital. Then, Feng Ziyu, eager to save his country, was devoured by the Shura Slash and lost his mind. Hua Capital disappeared from the continent, and its territory was divided among the other three kingdoms.
After the destruction of Huadu Continent, Shura Zhan and Feng Jingtian, the only remaining member of the Phoenix Clan, disappeared together.
Now that the Asura Slash has reappeared, the continent is bound to be plunged into another conflict.
The world, after a long period of unity, will inevitably divide; after a long period of division, it will inevitably unite!
"The prince is still inside the Trial Valley and hasn't come out yet. What should we do? Should we go and find out what's going on and get the Asura Slash first, or should we wait for the prince to come out before making a decision?" Chi suddenly asked.
The other three turned to look at the demon.
“That’s not appropriate. Since the prince has asked us to wait here, we must not act rashly. Let’s wait first,” Mei said.
The other two agreed, and Chi, who had initially voiced his opinion, abandoned any further plans. The four began to worry about Su Xijue within the Trial Valley. Today was already the sixth day; they wondered how their master was doing.
Wu Liuyin stood by the window, watching Murong Fanghua and his three guards hurriedly leave. Was the Asura Slash really that important? Did the one who attains the Dao gain the world? Could it be that Su Xijue had disappeared for many days to search for the Asura Slash?

Looking at the bustling streets, a hint of coldness flashed in Wu Liuyin's eyes. She turned and retrieved a set of men's clothing from her storage ring, changed into it, donned a bamboo hat, and went out! Where had Liehuo gone?!
The most bustling red-light district in the main city, Hua Man Lou is located in the very center. The surrounding neighborhoods are all brothels, but Hua Man Lou is the most luxurious and magnificent!
"Grandpa, look this way!"
"Sir, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"
Stepping into the red-light district, it truly lived up to its reputation—the red-light district stretched for about a mile and was entirely lined with brothels of all sizes, and the women dressed in flamboyant attire were all incredibly alluring.
Wu Liuyin walked to a spot, stopped, looked up at the sign at the entrance, and strode inside.
The interior of Hua Man Lou was also extremely luxurious, glittering with jewels everywhere. Four golden nanmu pillars stood in the center of the hall, making it three stories high. In fact, Wu Liuyin had seen golden nanmu wood when she traveled in the present world. It was the beam and pillar of the main hall in the imperial palace. According to the guide, golden nanmu wood grows extremely slowly, taking a hundred years to grow into a mature tree. If used in building construction, the cost would be extremely high. Just these four golden nanmu pillars alone show the power of Hua Man Lou, truly befitting its status as the head of all academies.
Wu Liuyin went up the stairs, preparing to look for someone.
"Please wait, sir, the person you are looking for is here," a sweet voice suddenly rang out.
Wu Liuyin turned around and looked in the direction behind her. She saw a woman in yellow walking towards her.
Wu Liuyin carefully examined her. She had a slender figure, wore a pale yellow dress, had bright black eyes, and her features were extremely beautiful, especially the sweet smile on her face.
"Do you know me?" Wu Liuyin asked coldly. She was looking for someone, but how did the woman in front of her know that the person she was looking for was there? How did she know that she was looking for someone? She looked at the woman in yellow with wariness.
"My master told me before he left that someone would come here in the next few days to take Young Master Xia away." The woman in yellow didn't look like a woman from a brothel at all; she didn't have a trace of worldliness about her.
"Murong Fanghua?" Wu Liuyin raised an eyebrow and asked.
