I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

“Senior, they should wake up by the time we leave,” Shui Ling’er said. “Fellow Daoist Ning also said they are fine.”

"?" When did Ning Ruan ever say something like that?

Forget it.

Anyway, they're not her people.

The nine-tailed female cultivator said nothing more.

He silently returned to the teleportation array.

Once everyone was in place, the formation suddenly shone brightly, indicating that it had been activated.

At that very moment, the Xuan Shui clan members, who had been completely still, suddenly moved in unison.

Before they could fully regain their senses and see the situation clearly, the light from the teleportation array instantly engulfed Ning Ruan and the others.

The only thing left was Shui Ling'er's surprised voice:

"Elder, Sister Yingxue, I'm going to find someone from the Great Righteous Sect to rescue you!"

"..."

Shui Ling'er's voice still echoed in the underground palace.

The light from the teleportation array had completely faded.

Inside the underground palace, besides the statues of the Cursed Raven Clan scattered all over the ground.

All that remained were the corpses of the two Golden Core cultivators.

Ning Ruan and his companions had already vanished without a trace.

The Xuan Shui clan members, whose souls had just returned to their bodies and whose faces were still filled with confusion and fear, were speechless.

“Elder, we…” A clansman, clutching his still slightly stinging forehead, was abruptly interrupted by the elder before he could finish speaking.

"Celestial artifacts! They took all the celestial artifacts!"

The elder's face was ashen, his gaze sweeping wildly across the empty giant statue, where was there not a trace of the immortal artifact?

"How could this be? How could they recover before us?" Another foreign cultivator skilled in mental power asked, his face grim, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Our spiritual strength is far superior to theirs. Even if they do recover, we should be the ones to wake up first.”

"And Ning Ruan..."

He paused, then looked at the elders of the Xuan Shui Clan, "Do any of you fellow cultivators of the Xuan Shui Clan remember what happened inside?"

"If I remember correctly, that person... was talking to Ning Ruan?"

"..." The Xuan Shui Clan elder's expression changed slightly, and finally he said in a deep voice, "If you remember correctly, they not only spoke, she... also harbored murderous intent towards Ning Ruan."

"She's going to kill Ning Ruan!"

Just as Ning Ruan could sense their hostility.

They could certainly sense that person's... intense and undisguised killing intent towards Ning Ruan.

But the problem is...

They have all survived.

Even Ning Ruan survived.

She even woke up first and had already left the Little Broken World.

Then... what about that being?

Why didn't she kill Ning Ruan in the end?

Did you suddenly change your mind?

Or...can't it be killed?

"Let's find a way out first!" the elder suddenly said.

He then emphasized, "We must get out of here as soon as possible!"

This small, fragmented world seems to hold a great secret.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the seriousness of this secret might be even greater than that of a celestial artifact!

……

Eternal Realm.

Xuanshui City.

Ling Shan Ge.

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted from the kitchen where cooking was in full swing.

The teleportation array suddenly appeared in the open space between the stove and the food rack.

The light dissipated in an instant.

Several figures appeared simultaneously.

The rich aroma of food mixed with the fresh scent of spiritual plants wafted over, creating a stark contrast with the cold atmosphere within the Small Remnant Realm.

The sounds of spatulas clattering, the crackling of the flames, and the chef's gruff shouts instantly brought them back to reality.

"Quickly! The multi-flavor soup in stove number three is ready!"

"The ingredients for the Seven Treasures Stew are ready..."

"..."

The head chef of the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion, who was directing the spirit chefs and helpers, was suddenly stunned by the scene before him.

Upon seeing the group of people appear, Fang stared in disbelief at the uninvited guests: "You...you are...it's you?"

His gaze unconsciously swept over the group of people before settling on Shui Ling'er.

As the head chef of Ling Shan Ge, he naturally heard about what was happening outside.

Especially Ning Ruan, who caused a great disturbance in the Eternal Domain, it would be difficult for him not to know about her.

He had heard of Ning Ruan, but he had never actually seen what she looked like.

But there was one person in this group whom he knew all too well.

Shui Ling'er walked forward with a smile and greeted her earnestly, "It's me, Master. It's been a long time. Is the Grand Master still outside?"

"..." I recognized Shui Ling'er at a glance, naturally because she had studied cooking at Ling Shan Pavilion.

Her culinary skills mostly came from him.

He also knew that this person was no ordinary individual; she had been taken away by the people from the Xuan Shui City Lord's Mansion.

"...Da Zongzheng went after Ning Ruan and hasn't returned yet."

As he spoke, he looked at the group with suspicion, "It's something everyone in the Eternal Domain knows, but you don't?"

"Master...Master..." The chef had barely finished speaking when he heard a trembling voice from his apprentice not far away in his mind, "She...the one standing behind her is a nine-tailed fox."

"What happened to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?" the chef was about to ask.

The sound suddenly stopped.

His back suddenly straightened.

Nine-tailed fox clan...

When he looked up again, he met the gaze of the girl in green robes standing next to the nine-tailed fox clan.

...Nine-tailed fox clan, human race, green robe, Ning Ruan.

Clothes, of course, don't prove anything.

But what are the chances of such a coincidence happening at this time?

He couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring straight at Ning Ruan, "You...you are..."

“Ning Ruan.” Ning Ruan smiled gently and tilted her head slightly. “She’s the Ning Ruan you just mentioned, the one being pursued by the Grand Master of your Xuan Shui Clan.”

Done.

Ignoring the stunned expressions of everyone in the kitchen, Ning Ruan strode out and headed towards the kitchen exit.

"I need to go catch up with your Grand Master too!"

"Huh?" Shui Ling'er, who was about to retract the teleportation array, didn't even care about the array anymore and hurriedly chased after him. "Fellow Daoist Ning, aren't you going to leave now?"

Why are you going back?

As she reached the doorway, she abruptly stopped and said to the chef, who was completely stunned, "Master, I'll leave my formation here for now. Please keep an eye on it for me, thank you!"

Chef: "..."

He didn't even have time to speak.

The group of uninvited guests who suddenly appeared in the kitchen vanished without a trace in just a few moments.

After a long while, a spirit chef exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't it said that Ning Ruan was trapped in that small broken world? How did she get out again?"

"Speaking of which... have you guys noticed that Ning Ruan seems to have a very strange aura about her? It feels very powerful, but it also smells very pleasant. What is that?"
