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

"Senior, isn't this... inappropriate?"

"What's good or bad about it? You deserve it."

Elder Wu glanced at the Immortal-Slaying Sword, then finally looked at the half-dead Ye Xuan.

He sighed softly, flicked his sleeve, and disappeared with Ye Xuan.

He's gone? He took Ye Xuan with him.

Su Yu was startled and hurriedly went forward to call out to him.

"Senior? Senior, where are you taking him?! He's still injured..."

"senior?!"

There was no response from the surroundings, only Su Yu's shouts.

"System, have they left the Extreme Cloud Secret Realm?"

[No, he's still inside the Extreme Cloud Secret Realm. With the remnant soul's current power, it's impossible for it to break through the barrier of the small world and forcefully leave with Ye Xuan, especially considering the price he paid earlier.]

"Then why did he take Ye Xuan away? Couldn't he just sit down and have a proper talk?"

[I'm afraid that won't work. If Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing are together, they'll definitely start fighting again after they wake up, until one of them dies.]

Ye Xuan is currently on the verge of a complete emotional breakdown; the slightest provocation could drive him mad. That's why the remnant soul took Ye Xuan away from Ji Ruqing, wanting him to be alone and have some peace and quiet.

"Utterly devastated? Ye Xuan is now..."

Su Yu was startled. He instantly recalled the hint of relief that appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes before he burned his power, and his heart skipped a beat.

Ye Xuan is in deep trouble now. His emotions are collapsing, and his Dao heart is unstable. If he can't resolve this tribulation, it might change his destiny.

[At that time, he will likely transform into the greatest demon in all the heavens, wreaking havoc on all living beings. He will then kill all the chosen ones who are entangled with you, imprison you, and take you as his own. At that point, you will lose your freedom forever, host.]

Su Yu's eyes widened. "Impossible! Are you kidding me? How could it be that serious??"

【How is it impossible? Have you forgotten your past entanglement? How did you give to him, how did you seduce him? You should understand Ye Xuan's personality best.】

Listening to the system's words, Su Yu felt a wave of fear.

Indeed, if Ye Xuan hadn't escaped his demonic possession, this might have been the outcome.

After all, he knew Ye Xuan very well.

Damn it! I didn't mean to seduce Ye Xuan. I just wanted him to become my junior brother. Who would have thought things would turn out like this?

Can we blame him entirely? Perhaps Ye Xuan's choice of sect in the first place was also a contributing factor!

"......"

"System, tell me what to do now? Should we just run away? I think that's a good idea."

【……】

[Why run away? Of course you have to go and bring Ye Xuan back, make him understand his goals. That way, the demon will become a super henchman, wouldn't that be perfect?]

"But he took Ye Xuan away, what can I do?"

Then go find him, if you don't want him to get his way.

"......"

outside world.

Just as Elder Wu was leaving, the Immortal-Slaying Sword actually wanted to ask some questions.

After all, as the Emperor Wu, he must have known some of the truth.

"Emperor Wu, what exactly do you know? Now that you're not dead, what do you intend to do?..."

The Immortal-Slaying Sword sighed softly. It had been too arrogant back then, refusing to acknowledge any sword-wielding being.

This meant that, as a sword spirit, it didn't have access to many secrets.

If it had chosen a supreme expert as its master back then, perhaps the sword wouldn't be in its current state of damage.

After Elder Wu left, Shi Xian nodded to Su Yu and then disappeared into Ji Ruqing's body.

The most urgent task now is to treat Ji Ruqing's injuries.

Fortunately, the Qingyun Sword Body was highly awakened and withstood its violent power, preventing it from being seriously injured and unconscious for a year and a half.

However, he has lost most of his luck and will need a long time to recover.

However, as long as this girl is there, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Seeing Ji Ruqing lying unconscious beside her, Su Yu could only try to treat him first.

Ji Ruqing is much easier to deal with than Ye Xuan in some respects.

From the beginning until now, he has always expressed his heart for cultivating the Tao, so he knows that he does not want to talk about love and romance, and therefore has no feelings for Ye Xuan.

Therefore, Ji Ruqing is not too rigid in her thinking and will not experience too much discomfort.

At most, he would just keep himself away from Ye Xuan.

Sigh~ You take someone's money and do their dirty work.

I need to keep these two guys in check, after all, I've invested a lot of effort in them and have had an ambiguous relationship with them.

If this is lost, then we'll lose everything.

What a sin!

Su Yu forcibly activated the power of her innate Dao body to give Ji Ruqing healing medicine.

At the same time, the Immortal-Slaying Sword also secretly exerted its power.

Ji Ruqing gradually woke up.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful!]

[Investment Resources: Healing Pills, Innate Dao Body Spiritual Power; Investment Target: Ji Ruqing (Red Destiny); Investment Method: Healing; Rewards are currently being distributed...]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the sixth-grade elixir, Qingyuan Pill; the seventh-grade rare and precious herb, Piaoxue Baosu; and the eighth-grade spiritual weapon—Qingyun Liangyi Boots!]

Is a reward coming?

However, compared to the gifts from the two big shots before, it was insignificant, so my mood didn't fluctuate much.

"Ruqing, you're awake? Are you feeling better now?"

Upon seeing that Ji Ruqing had regained consciousness, Su Yu asked with concern.

"Qing, Qingyi?"

Ji Ruqing slowly propped himself up, his head throbbing in pain as he remembered everything that had happened.

He immediately looked around.

"I'm not dead?"

"What about Ye Xuan?"

Su Yu said, "When you were using all your strength earlier... the two seniors stopped you, and then you fell into a coma."

Ji Ruqing frowned. "How is Ye Xuan? He's not dead either?"

“He is still alive, of course…” Su Yu said with some displeasure.

"Ruqing, you are not actually enemies, so why do you have to fight to the death? Can't you just get along?"

"If he dares to covet you, I certainly won't let him get away with it!"

Ji Ruqing first gave a cold and stern look, then looked at Su Yu with eyes full of tenderness.

"Since he is still alive, and you are still by my side, it proves that you care about me more, right, Qingyi?"

As he spoke, he unconsciously reached out and grasped Su Yu's hand.

Su Yu felt a wave of nausea, but could only sigh.

"Ruqing, have you forgotten what I said before? I have no mind to deal with emotions right now, I only want to focus on cultivating the Tao."

"Ye Xuan, I have never liked him."

"And you, you didn't really move my heart either."

"The only thing that binds us together is a contract."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruqing couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment in her eyes, and remained silent.

Qingyi reminded him several times, and he naturally understood what she meant.

However, as long as it's Qingyi, he's willing to do it.

Observing Ji Ruqing's actions, Su Yu said again:

"So I hope you will not do anything foolish because of me, and fight to the death. It's not worth it."

"You have your own path to walk, and your own opportunities."

Ji Ruqing sighed, "Qingyi, I understand what you mean."

"I promise you, from now on, unless Ye Xuan provokes me first, I will never strike first."

"I just hope you don't get too close to him, after all, you're my fiancée..."

He readily agreed.

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Ruqing believed that he had never been interested in romance and therefore did not think he would like Ye Xuan, so he was not too insistent.

So Su Yu nodded obediently, "Okay, if you can do it, I promise you too."

The hand that was about to withdraw stopped, causing a trace of affection to grow in Ji Ruqing's heart.

He gently squeezed that soft, boneless little hand, with a hint of reluctance.

"Qingyi..."
