He Lan Tianxia

Facing this mute octopus demon beast, Murong Junlan didn't waste any words. With a flick of his fine rope, he unleashed dozens of attacks in quick succession. The octopus originally wanted to invite Murong Junlan into the Lihentian Hall of the Xuanmo Cave to take a seat, but this guy must have suffered a lot of resentment in the underworld. He was very impolite to it from the start. Didn't he see that he and his female lead had already been served high on tiger-skin chairs by it?

Oh dear, it can't communicate with this old man. He misinterpreted its good intentions. It knows that it has a little bit of ulterior motive, which is to invite the two gentlemen to stay in its cave for a while longer. It would be even better if they were willing to rest and admire the ice and snow lotus in the cave. This way, it can absorb more spiritual energy to consolidate its newly reborn body, and it can also accumulate more spiritual energy before they leave the cave.

"Your Highness, come here." Yan'er, who was sitting on the tiger-skin chair on the octopus head, suddenly reached out her little hand and patted the empty seat next to her. "You can admire the ice and snow lotus here."

"Enjoying flowers?" Murong Junlan frowned, thinking to himself, "My dear consort, do you know we're riding on a tiger's head right now? You were kidnapped just an hour ago, how could you forget so quickly?"

"My beloved concubine, come down." Murong Junlan beckoned to Yan'er, "I'll accompany you to admire the flowers elsewhere."

Murong Junlan guessed that the octopus monster must have used some kind of spell to bewitch Yan'er's mind. Otherwise, given her claims of being number one in the class and department in history, she wouldn't be so foolish. His beloved concubine must be under a spell, and she even wanted to bewitch him as well? He had been in the martial world for more than just a day or two.

Murong Junlan caught a glimpse of the octopus stopping and was about to dodge when he swiftly lashed out with his thin rope. The rope came so fast it startled the octopus, who was practically still nudging him. "My goodness, why are you hitting me on the head? Aren't you afraid it'll roll off my head?"

The octopus quickly retracted its eight tentacles, shrinking its body considerably. It then reached up to hug its head with its eight tentacles. Oops, thank goodness it retracted quickly, otherwise it would have lost its bald head. Hmm? Why is it so merciless? Is this woman not its lover?

The octopus was so frightened it forgot to breathe. "Oh dear, maybe I guessed wrong." Its mind raced, and the next second it was overjoyed. "Since you don't care about her, I care about her terribly!" Its previous gratitude towards Murong Junlan instantly changed. "Master, I will remember your great kindness in allowing me to be reborn, but right now I care more about the rich spiritual energy emanating from this female lead."

"Run!" The octopus rolled on the ground, covering its head, and then rolled back into the ice lotus pond. Murong Junlan was momentarily stunned by the octopus's sudden action, but he immediately realized that the octopus was trying to escape, so he swung his rope and broadsword at it. Seeing their master being chased, the fireballs on both sides suddenly formed a large circle, surrounding Murong Junlan, and then unleashed a powerful barrage of fire.

In the instant Murong Junlan was dealing with the fireballs, the octopus that had kidnapped his Yan'er had already disappeared back into the water. He swung his thin rope and swept it fiercely at the row of fireballs, but the fireballs didn't fight back. Seeing their master escape into the water, they also jumped in to recharge.

In fact, neither Murong Junlan nor the white-haired woman knew that these snow lotuses, besides being ornamental, also emitted a delicate fragrance. This fragrance was the spiritual energy that supplied the octopus and fireball. When the octopus and fireball absorbed the spiritual energy of the lotuses, they also released their own profound energy. The two nourished each other and coexisted, which is why this pool of snow lotuses bloomed in all four seasons and never withered.

The octopus, once in the water, didn't dare linger. With a flick of its eight tentacles, it sank directly into its lair, the Heaven of Separation. The octopus carefully helped Yan'er down from the tiger-skin chair. Before it could even instruct its servants to serve food, a sudden loud thud came from behind the chair. Startled, the octopus grabbed Yan'er back with its long tentacles, covering her with a thin membrane to prevent the little spirit from being frightened, and even enveloping her spiritual energy.

What's going on? That guy was so fast? The octopus raised its bald head and saw that it wasn't that powerful guy, but a broken gorilla that had fallen down.

The octopus opened its huge mouth, then closed it again, spitting out a stream of black ink. Taking advantage of the ink, it sank its body and immediately fled.

The octopus was furious. Anyone who dared enter its forbidden area would never leave. It immediately issued a command, but just as the octopus spat out black ink, fireballs arrived to the rescue. Suddenly, seven or eight fireballs surrounded the gorilla, who laughed. Ever since being chased and toyed with by the white-haired woman and thrown into this icy, dilapidated pond, this mischievous monkey didn't know how to appreciate the beauty of lotus flowers. It had picked hundreds of lotus flowers in the icy lotus pond, playing with them until they were a complete mess, finding no enjoyment whatsoever. Wanting to escape, it saw Murong Junlan and Jiang He. Seeing Murong Junlan jump onto a flower and watch the spinning center, it got excited and jumped onto a large flower as well. Sure enough, the flower began to spin rapidly.

How fun! The mischievous monkey forgot its intention to go out. Although it was a little afraid of Murong Junlan, it didn't care about the white-haired woman as much. Seeing the loyal but foolish Jiang He standing guard on the ground, it became even more unrestrained and started playing around.
