The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

“I want you,” Yu Ze’s eyes surged with emotion, like a still pool boiling over. He gazed at her for a long time, and finally added, “Come find me in the Demon Realm after you’ve finished dealing with matters in the cultivation world.”

"You interrupted me like that." Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking he was going to say: I want your dog's life.

"Will I, a cultivator, get into trouble going into the Demon Realm?"

"No," Yu Ze said solemnly. "You can freely enter and leave the Demon Realm."

"Okay, I'll definitely go next time I have the chance."

Everyone knows these kinds of words; it's just polite talk. Yu Ze is now the Demon Lord, and just thinking about the scenes depicting him in the plot makes Yun Fuzhao shudder with fear.

She tentatively asked, "Are we friends?"

If you're a friend, you can't kill me, okay?

Yu Ze saw the caution in her eyes, and the murderous intent in his heart surged again. He turned cold and said, "Are you afraid of me? Yun Fuzhao, I won't allow you to look at me like that."

Yun Fuzhao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay." Sure enough, he became even more frightening after his demon bloodline awakened.

"Are you afraid I'll kill you?" A hint of malice flashed in his dark eyes, and he revealed a row of gleaming white teeth. "What wrong have you done?"

"Okay, so that's how you think of me."

Yun Fuzhao chuckled, "Let's break off our friendship."

"..."

Yu Ze placed a black bead into her hand. "If you can't beat Meng Ci'er, just break this bead, and I will come to your side immediately."

Yun Fuzhao didn't stand on ceremony at all, "Okay."

She picked up Wuji and was about to leave when Yu Ze grabbed her wrist. Before she could react, his icy breath was close to her.

He gave Yun Fuzhao a light, quick hug; in the blink of an eye, he released her.

Yu Ze said, "If they're friends, it's normal to hug when you say goodbye, right?"

These words shut Yun Fuzhao down. She nodded; what else could she say after he had said that?

Yun Fuzhao waved his hand and stepped onto Wuji, saying, "Until we meet again."

"If you don't come, I will come looking for you."

Yun Fuzhao staggered slightly, "Okay."

Until her figure disappeared from sight, Yu Ze raised his palm, the soft touch still lingering on his fingertips.

He rubbed his fingertips together, feeling a strange itch in his heart, as if he had been brushed by a soft feather.

……

Que Chi left while the two were talking, and Yun Fuzhao didn't mind, since he had already said he was going to find Banshenglian.

It took Yun Fuzhao almost a day to reach the Bone-Eroding Secret Realm.

She didn't rush in. The Bone-Corroding Secret Realm was fraught with danger, and she was afraid that if she couldn't find Song Ying and Luo Shang, she would risk her own life first.

I sent Luo Shang a text message, and she said she would be back tomorrow, and she had some good news to tell her.

Yun Fuzhao found an inn nearby.

While she was downstairs having tea, she overheard several monks talking about her.

Wearing a human skin mask, Yun Fuzhao found a corner to sit down.

"To be honest, Yun Fuzhao's death was quite pathetic. He had boasted that he would take Meng Ci'er's head, but he ended up dying in the extreme cold."

"Who says otherwise? I was actually planning to watch her suffer, but who would have thought she would die so young."

"What good can come from colluding with demons? It's better that such a vicious person is dead, so as to save people from getting annoyed."

"If this extremely cold place weren't so dangerous, I would have wanted to go and take away the Boundless One."

One person laughed at him, "Are you stupid? After the master dies, the natal sword will return to the sword tomb. You can see it again at the next sword selection tournament."

"That shows how important choices are. Even the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable probably never imagined that his natal sword would be bound to that kind of person..."

Yun Fuzhao listened with great interest. Fortunately, the Sword Tomb only opens once a year; otherwise, if they saw that Wuji was not there, they would know that she was not dead.

Speaking of which, she suddenly had a burst of inspiration in the extremely cold place and mastered the second move of the Void Breaking Chant in one go.

I'm fairly confident about facing Meng Ci'er this time.

Her cultivation level is currently at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. The powerful beings say that one should not rush into matters of cultivation, as it is easy to become unstable.

She had a vague feeling that there was a chance of a breakthrough, but after they said that, she suppressed it for the time being.

As he pondered this, a phoenix cry suddenly echoed through the sky.

Everyone was startled and looked outside.

Someone shouted, "A divine bird has descended upon the world!"

Yun Fuzhao also went out to join the fun. By this time, a large crowd had already gathered outside, all looking in the direction of the Boundless Sword Sect.

"They're from the Boundless Sword Sect!"

"I wonder who contracted the divine beast? They must be incredibly powerful."

"Tsk tsk, this is a Azure Phoenix, I reckon it's at least a ninth-rank."

"Only highly talented cultivators can summon divine beasts when advancing in cultivation. There are only a few outstanding disciples in the Boundless Sword Sect. I guess this is that junior sister who cultivates both alchemy and swordsmanship."

Yun Fuzhao nodded; it was indeed Yu Nian'er.

In the original storyline, she formed a contract with the Xuan-rank Azure Divine Phoenix when she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. It was because of this that the Xuan Tian Sect extended an olive branch to her.

Then the female lead will go to the Xuantian Sect and start a romantic relationship with the male lead.

The timeline has been moved forward. Originally, when the female protagonist made a contract with the divine phoenix, Yu Ze had already killed Meng Ci'er. She didn't have a master; she only became Chang Shen's disciple after going to the Xuan Tian Sect.

Meng Ci'er is still alive, and Yu Ze seems unaware that his mother's death is related to Meng Ci'er.

Yun Fuzhao was a little worried. Everything was starting to deviate from the original plot, and she was no longer the woman who held the script.

Back at the inn, Yun Fuzhao stopped at the door of her room. She keenly sensed that someone was inside.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, the door was opened from the inside.

"You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for so long."

What comes into view is a face that can captivate all beings.

Qi Huai.

She had almost forgotten about this guy.

Qi Huai pulled her into the house.

The fluffy tail brushed against her wrist, tickling her.

"You got into such a big trouble while I was out having fun." Qi Huai looked at her with a hint of resentment. "I'm also your contracted beast, and you only took Jiaoyu with you."

Yun Fuzhao stared at his white tail. "I'm really innocent. How can I take you with me when you're not around?"

"Can't you recall me?" Although he might not obey.

Qi Huai had assumed she would do that, but he waited and waited, and she never called him back. In all his life, Qi Huai had never waited so eagerly for anyone.

"Why would I recall you? You can't lift a finger, so go play somewhere else."

Yun Fuzhao thought that such a beautiful fox must be very delicate, and that her journey with her would be nothing but suffering.

Qi Huai was taken aback. "You underestimate me too much. I—" He was about to argue further when Yun Fuzhao said, "I'm just worried about you getting hurt."

"..."

Swallowing the words that were about to come out, Qi Huai asked with a cryptic expression, "Are you worried about me?"

Yun Fuzhao's attention was entirely on his big tail, which was swaying back and forth. She couldn't resist reaching out and touching it.

Qi Huai immediately bristled and almost jumped up from his chair.

"you you--"

Yun Fuzhao withdrew his hand with some regret, as he hadn't had enough yet.

"What's wrong with me?"

Qi Huai hesitated, looking as if he had been defiled, "How could you do this..."
