The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Bi Yao pulled Li Yuan behind him, spiritual power surging in his hands, and stared at the two stone statues vigilantly.

"It's a trick!" she growled. "These aren't decorations at all; they're clearly guards!" Before she finished her words, the sharp blades in the hands of the two stone statues began to buzz, emitting a frightening cold light that made one's heart tremble.

Li Yuan had also reacted by now. As expected of someone who had ventured into the martial arts world with a remarkable woman like Bi Yao, he immediately pulled a folding fan from his ring and flaunted it. "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. I'll protect you! However... this stone statue is quite exquisitely carved, but its eyes aren't very friendly..."

Bi Yao rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "Is this the time to admire a work of art? Get ready for battle!"

The two approached the stone gate cautiously. The bloody smell on the stone statue became stronger and more disgusting.

The patterns on the stone gate are intricate and complex, with ravines running all over the place, like some kind of ancient writing or some strange runes.

Bi Yao tentatively pressed her finger on one of the patterns, and a weak wave of spiritual power instantly spread throughout her body, as if a switch had been touched.

"This...this pattern, is it some kind of lock?" Li Yuan came forward and imitated Bi Yao, pressing his finger on another pattern.

The two of them fumbled with the pattern on the stone gate, as if they were playing a super-sized Huarong Dao.

The process of cracking the mechanism was far more complicated than imagined. Bi Yao couldn't help but sigh that the person who designed the mechanism must be a "stupid guy". He set up so many twists and turns, he must be a master of "making things up".

Finally, when the two were about to give up, the last piece of the pattern was pressed down.

There was a soft "click" sound, and the stone door trembled slightly, as if it was about to open.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the stone gate, and a powerful force bounced the two of them away!

"Oh my god! What's going on!" Li Yuan screamed, his back hit the stone wall heavily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Bi Yao wasn't in much better condition. She felt as if all her internal organs had shifted and everything in front of her was blurry.

"Cough cough..." Bi Yao struggled to stand up, but found that she was weak all over.

Li Yuan's situation wasn't optimistic either. He clutched his chest, his face pale. "Yaoyao... this door... it doesn't seem to be welcoming to us..."

Bi Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze once again falling on the still tightly closed stone door, a glimmer of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Li Yuan," she said in a deep voice, "Come again!"

Li Yuan nodded with difficulty, his eyes full of unwillingness.

The two of them supported each other and walked towards the stone gate step by step...

"Wait..." Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Bi Yao's hand and pointed to an inconspicuous corner below the stone gate, where something seemed to be flickering.

"What is that..." Bi Yao narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the flickering light.

"It seems... to be a jade pendant?" She moved her body with difficulty, approached the stone door, and reached out to take off the jade pendant.

The jade pendant is cool to the touch but warm to the touch. It is carved with a lifelike dragon holding a shining bead in its mouth.

"Dragon holds the pearl..." Li Yuan weakly uttered these three words, "Could it be... that this is the key to opening the stone gate?"

Bi Yao's heart moved. The timing of the appearance of this jade pendant was too coincidental.

She brought the jade pendant close to the stone gate, and the dragon ball on the jade pendant suddenly emitted a ray of light, shining on a groove in the center of the stone gate.

The grooves that they had previously ignored now appeared particularly eye-catching under the light.

"Oh my god, it must have been designed by Lao Liu, and it's hidden so deeply!" Li Yuan couldn't help but complain. If it weren't for his sharp eyes, this thing would have been easily overlooked.

"Wait..." Bi Yao suddenly thought of something, her brows furrowed. "This jade pendant... I seem to have seen it somewhere..." She tried to recall it, and fragmented images flashed through her mind. An old man in ancient costume handed her a jade pendant with earnest words, and told her not to use it unless absolutely necessary...

"It's that old beggar!" Bi Yao woke up suddenly. The crazy old beggar she met at the city gate actually gave her such an important thing!

"Yaoyao, what old beggar are you talking about?" Li Yuan was confused and didn't follow Bi Yao's train of thought at all.

Bi Yao didn't explain. Her mind was now filled with the image of the old beggar, what he said at that time, and the way he looked at her...

Everything is full of mystery.

She took a deep breath and inserted the jade pendant into the groove.

After a crisp "click" sound, the stone door slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura rushed towards them. The two looked at each other and held their breath...

"Wait!" Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Bi Yao's hand, "Why do I feel... this aura is a little off..."

Behind the stone gate was not the imagined palace of beauty, but a deep darkness.

A cold breath blew in her face, making Bi Yao shiver.

Li Yuan rubbed his arms exaggeratedly and complained, "Oh my god, this is so spooky, could it be a branch of the Palace of Hell?"

Bi Yao rolled her eyes at him and ignored his chatter. Instead, she focused her attention and remained alert, tightly holding the jade pendant with a dragon holding a pearl in its mouth.

The jade pendant emitted a faint fluorescence, illuminating a small area ahead.

"Wait!" Li Yuan pulled Bi Yao back. "I suddenly thought of something. Could this thing be voice-controlled? Like, 'Open Sesame' or something?"

Bi Yao almost fainted because of his train of thought.

"Open Sesame? Do you think this is Alibaba and the Forty Thieves?" Although she complained like this, Bi Yao knew in her heart that Li Yuan's caution was not unreasonable.

This stone door is so secretive and the way it opens is so strange. Who knows what kind of traps are inside?

"Let's give it a try. What if it works?" Li Yuan chuckled, cleared his throat, and shouted at the stone door: "Open sesame!"

The stone door remained motionless.

"Uh...it seems I'm overthinking it." Li Yuan touched his nose awkwardly.

Bi Yao sighed helplessly and focused his attention on the jade pendant again.

She carefully observed the patterns on the jade pendant and suddenly found that the dragon's eyes seemed a little strange.

She gently pressed her fingers on the dragon's eyes, and a strange energy instantly surged into her body. At the same time, the stone door made a deafening roar and opened completely!

Behind the stone gate is not a dark abyss, nor the gloomy palace of Yama, but a huge and magnificent treasure house!

Various rare magic weapons, shining spirit stones, and mountains of cultivation secrets almost blinded their eyes.

"Fuck! I'm rich!" Li Yuan couldn't help but curse and rushed in with his eyes shining.

Bi Yao followed closely behind, her heart filled with surprise and shock.

This is simply a paradise for cultivators!

However, just as they were immersed in joy, a deafening roar came from the depths of the treasure house.

A huge figure slowly appeared in front of them, emitting a terrifying aura.

It was a guardian beast that was completely snow-white and shaped like a Qilin!

"Anyone who disturbs my sleep will die!" The beast spoke in human language, and the voice was as deafening as thunder.

Li Yuan was so scared that he almost jumped up and hid behind Bi Yao.

"Yaoyao, help! This thing doesn't look easy to deal with!"

Although Bi Yao was a little nervous, she quickly calmed down.

Combining the experience she had accumulated from previous battles with her newfound strength, she condensed a dazzling light in her hand and faced the attack of the divine beast without fear.

A thrilling battle began.

The attacks of the divine beasts were extremely fierce, and each time they struck carried the power to destroy the world.

But Bi Yao and Li Yuan worked in perfect harmony, and were able to deftly resolve the attacks of the divine beasts and launch powerful counterattacks every time.

Just as the battle was getting intense, Bi Yao suddenly noticed that there was a small scale on the beast's neck that was slightly different in color...

"Li Yuan, attack its neck!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan immediately understood. The long sword in his hand turned into a stream of light and pierced the neck of the divine beast.

"Take my sunflower acupuncture point... sword technique!" Although the name of the move was a bit inconsistent, the sword hit the special scale with incredible precision.

The divine beast let out a deafening roar, and its huge body began to tremble violently.

The scales on its neck shattered, and a black aura surged out from the wound, quickly spreading throughout its body.

"Impossible... I actually..." The voice of the divine beast was filled with unwillingness and despair, and finally turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

"Huh...finally done." Li Yuan sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

"This thing is too difficult to deal with. I almost died here."

Bi Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to Li Yuan and sat down, handing him a bottle of spiritual spring water.

"You've worked hard, drink some water and take a rest."

Li Yuan took the water, gulped down a few mouthfuls, then jumped up excitedly.

"Yaoyao, we're rich! With so many treasures, we can finally relax!" He said, and rushed to a pile of glittering spirit stones, digging at them excitedly like a child.

Bi Yao smiled and shook her head, but did not stop him.

She also understood that victory in this battle was hard-won, and she deserved to enjoy the spoils.

She looked around, her gaze finally falling on the deepest part of the treasure house.

There was a high platform with an ancient book on it, emitting a faint golden light.

Bi Yao walked forward and gently picked up the book.

A powerful force instantly surged into her body, making her feel dizzy.

The space around her began to distort, as if it was going to swallow her up.

"Yaoyao, be careful!" Li Yuan noticed something was wrong and rushed over.

However, it was too late.

The distortion of space became more and more violent, and finally formed a huge vortex, swallowing Bi Yao and Li Yuan together.

"Wait...what's going on..." Li Yuan's voice stopped abruptly, and everything around him fell into darkness.

Only that ancient book still emitted a faint golden light, as if guiding them on their journey to an unknown...
