This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Su Yu glanced sideways and walked past.

"Ye Xuan's power is indeed astonishing, but it's impossible for him to kill a seventh-tier demonic beast; at most, he can only severely injure it..."

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yu sighed softly.

Perhaps he should secretly lend a hand to him.

Instantly, the lightning in his hand pulsed wildly, radiating the most dazzling brilliance.

Within this bolt of lightning lay Su Yu's pure sword intent.

The dazzling lightning bolts transformed into arcs of lightning, flying towards the Crimson Winged Lion King, tearing through its scales, piercing its body, and breaking its left wing.

"It's now!"

Ye Xuan's eyes were like those of a hawk, and golden patterns appeared on his hand, solidifying into an ancient and simple character for "fight".

It crashed into the Crimson Winged Lion King's chest like a meteor, continuously devouring its life force.

Finally, the Crimson Winged Lion King let out a roar to the sky, and its massive body, lifeless, collapsed with a crash.

The Crimson Winged Lion King, comparable to a Celestial Venerable, perished on the spot.

"Won?!"

"They actually killed a seventh-tier demonic beast?!"

Zhou Pengwu and his two companions, watching from afar, were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected to not only fight back, but also kill their opponent...

After killing the monster, Ye Xuan didn't care about its corpse. Instead, he turned his gaze to Su Yu with a meaningful look, filled with many complex emotions.

He sensed the sword intent hidden within the final burst of lightning, though it was very faint.

That sword intent felt very familiar.

Ethereal, pure, and illusory.

Was he really confused back at the inn?

After dealing with the seventh-tier monster, the team changed campsites.

Beside the campfire, Zhou Pengwu looked at Su Yu and Ye Xuan with a more restrained and respectful gaze.

He originally thought that the two young men were at most comparable to him in strength.

But I never expected that I could actually kill the Celestial Venerable!

"Sigh~ It seems we'll have to separate once we reach the ruins..." Zhou Pengwu sighed softly.

Now he understood that they were worlds apart, and that following the two into the ruins would only hold them back.

After all, he proposed forming a team because the teams were roughly equal in strength.

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount.

Ye Xuan looked at Su Yu cautiously, his gaze gentle.

"Ahem... Fellow Daoist Xuan Guan, please be very careful when entering the Huangfeng Ruins. Follow me, and I will definitely protect your safety."

Su Yu: "......."

"Your cultivation level seems to be lower than mine..."

"A lower score is fine, I can take a beating," Ye Xuan assured, patting his chest.

"........"

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Guan, I have a friend who looks very much like you. I made a promise to her that time. I wonder if she still remembers it?”

"What agreement? What does this have to do with me?"

Ye Xuan grew anxious. "It's that promise we made before we parted! That...that leg promise!"

Su Yu glanced at him coldly. "Brother Ye, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know you, nor do I know who your so-called friends are. We're not acquainted."

"Really?" Ye Xuan chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head. "Brother Xuanguan, I've been quite puzzled lately. I always feel like she's with me..."

"Shut up!"

Faced with Su Yu's reprimand, Ye Xuan instantly felt aggrieved. He turned away from Su Yu, his back view somewhat lonely and desolate.

He looked up at the moonlight, lost in thought.

"Teacher, my life has been like walking on thin ice. Do you think I can ever reach the other side?"

Elder Wu: ......

"what's the situation?"

The eerie atmosphere around the campfire made Zhou Qiudie keenly aware of something amiss.

Ye Xuan's gaze towards Xuan Guan is very strange!

Ever since they joined forces to kill the Crimson Winged Lion King, Ye Xuan has been acting very strangely.

He became very attentive to Xuan Guan, and would occasionally steal glances at him.

And now, that special emotion is being expressed more and more clearly.

So Ye Xuan likes Xuan Guan?

No way?

Ye Xuan is a divine body possessor and the number one genius of the Zhan Yue Sect!

How could he possibly fall for a... man?

"What is it about this Xuan Temple that makes Ye Xuan so interested? What has he seen?"

"......"

"Sigh~ Why isn't it me he's interested in?"

"What a pity..."

As she pondered, Zhou Qiudie sighed softly. She actually had a very good impression of Ye Xuan. Not only was he handsome, but he was also exceptionally talented and had a limitless future.

Xuan Guan was also handsome.

It's such a pity that these two handsome men are gone!

"Little sister, what are you sighing about?" Zhou Zhan asked curiously from the side.

"It's nothing, you young people don't understand the world."...

The next morning.

At dawn, dazzling light spilled into every corner of the forest.

As the Yellow Wind Mountains were bathed in light, the entire mountain range seemed to boil, and the energy between heaven and earth instantly rose to a certain height.

"The energy tide of the Yellow Wind Mountains has erupted, and the formation of the ruins is beginning to weaken. Everyone, now is the time!"

Several teams, including Su Yu and others, rushed to the site of the ruins when the mountain range underwent a dramatic change.

It was a magnificent and ancient ruin, standing like a ferocious beast between heaven and earth.

Beyond the towering ruins, a faint yellow energy barrier looms.

The teams that were able to arrive in time all knew the characteristics of the formation.

Everyone was extremely excited as they looked at the formation that appeared and disappeared at different times.

The protective array around the ruins has been weakened!

Immediately, they joined forces and spent several minutes breaking through the formation.

"The formation has been broken!"

"The baby is mine!"

"kill!!"

Countless people, their eyes bloodshot, surged toward the ruins at full speed.

"Let's go too."

Seeing that the time was right, Su Yu led the team into the ruins.

As Su Yu took her first step into the ruins, a system notification slowly echoed in her mind.

[Ding! The Heavenly Saint Ruins have been found, and you are now accompanied by the Chosen One, Ye Xuan. Would you like to make an unconventional investment: help Ye Xuan seize the greatest opportunity within the Heavenly Saint Ruins?]

"Alternative investments are starting again?" Su Yu was slightly taken aback, but readily accepted the answer.

Helping Ye Xuan seize the greatest opportunity within the ruins would not only benefit Ye Xuan, but also reward oneself—a win-win situation.

The rewards for investment feedback will inevitably be better.

So he immediately agreed.

At the ruins.

The magnificent ruins contain a hidden world, an underground realm.

The ancient and dilapidated passageways are covered in dust, and the interconnected passages lead nowhere.

Ye Xuan stepped forward, his gaze drifting towards the depths of the ruins, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

He pointed to the third fork in the road ahead, "Let's take this road."

Su Yu glanced at him and said, "Okay."

Following Ye Xuan's footsteps, through the dimly lit tunnel, a vast, magnificent, and ancient palace came into view.

Su Yu and her companions arrived in front of the palace and looked at the plaque hanging above it.

"This is?"
