Female lead: No, it's me again??

"Butterfly Spirit hasn't awakened yet. We've made many assumptions, and the most likely one is that there's something wrong with the Netherblood Bead, because the Netherblood Bead has been Butterfly Spirit's natal magic weapon for thousands of years."

The young man casually dropped a bombshell.

Butterfly Spirit's destined magical weapon?

Feng Siyue's pupils trembled for a moment!

So, Yan Xue'er really is... the spirit of the Fallen Demon Butterfly Spirit's natal magical artifact... the Netherblood Pearl!?

If Yan Xue'er is truly a spirit, then wouldn't that mean that Yan Xue'er is currently inside the Butterfly Spirit's body?

After all, the Netherblood Pearl has already returned to the Butterfly Spirit's body, so aren't the people of Cloud City also inside the Butterfly Spirit's body?!

This is insane!!

No, no!

The young man's voice continued, "The power of the two cities is enough to awaken the butterfly spirit."

"But she hasn't woken up. The losses to Qianshui City are real, so the problem must lie in Yunbi City. But we haven't found out what happened in Yunbi City yet."

After all, there was no life in Yunbi City and the surrounding hundred miles.

At this point, Gongzi Qi turned the question around and asked her, "Why do you think Yan Xue'er isn't dead?"

Feng Siyue forcibly pulled himself back from the shock and said in a deep voice, "Not only Yan Xue'er, but perhaps... none of the people who have passed through Yunbi City have died."

However, the prerequisite for not dying is that the artifact spirit betrays its master.

Is it really possible?

Feng Siyue was no longer sure.

Even as the girl spoke, the young man remained calm, as if he was not surprised by what she said.

that's the truth.

"Junior sister, you are very smart."

For someone her age to think this far is remarkable.

Feng Siyue was stunned. "Senior brother, you...you didn't even ask me the basis for your guess...or do you think it's absurd?"

Did he already guess this?

The young man shook his head. "Any direction that seems absurd is possible. And since Junior Sister dared to speak up, it must not be without reason. I believe Junior Sister."

I believe in my junior sister...

These five words kept echoing in the girl's mind.

Looking at the trusting expression on his face, she was momentarily speechless. Then, one of his sentences left a deep, lingering impression on Feng Siyue's heart.

"If you want to investigate, then go ahead and investigate."

It was as if she was saying that she didn't need to worry.

Feng Siyue couldn't help but ask,

"What about the challenge?"

The young man said, "The purpose of the challenge is to allow future prodigies to experience crises in advance and prepare them for the future battlefield."

"But now that you are deeply involved and your Destiny Bloodline has awakened, the challenge is meaningless to you."

Feng Siyue thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Senior brother is right."

The young man stood up and appeared three meters away the next second. He smiled and said, "Junior sister, see you next time."

"Goodbye, senior brother."

The youth vanished like a fleeting ray of light.

Watching his departing figure, she murmured, "The month is up, I wonder if he has made up his mind yet."

High in the sky, Gongzi Qi watched the departing figure and murmured, "Junior Sister, will you help me find her?"

Bone-Dweller appeared behind him, his eyes filled with doubt.

“Your Highness, since the Holy Maiden knows things we don’t, why don’t you ask? Perhaps…”

He became increasingly curious.

Just how many secrets is that person hiding?

Gongzi Qi shook his head, "Junior Sister's inner conflict is not yet resolved, so why create unnecessary distance between us?"

"Have someone retrieve the case files. Any information related to Mu Li and Yan Xue'er must be presented without missing a single detail."

The man in black nodded. "Yes."

.......

Snow Crystal State, Snowfall Mountains, Snowfall Temple.

The monthly Dharma assembly of Master Hechen has turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.

Dressed in a red wedding gown, He Yuan stared intently at the young man sitting cross-legged outside the main hall, enveloped by a golden, transparent ancient bell. Her expression was one of madness and unspeakable pain.

"He Chen, I am so heartbroken that I am willing to offer my entire family as a dowry, hoping only to marry you. Why are you unwilling?"

"What exactly did I do wrong?!"

Behind her were hundreds of family elders, swords drawn and ready to strike, as well as several disciples.

He Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Benefactor He, I have explained to you many times that I have no intention of returning to secular life. Why are you pressing me so hard?"

"What's the meaning of coming to our door today?!"

"what for?"

An old man behind He Yuan snorted, "It's your good fortune that the young lady has taken a liking to you! He Chen, monks are supposed to be compassionate. Do you expect the people behind you to be buried with you?!"

He Yuan smiled, her scarlet eyes filled with tears that made one want to pity her. "He Chen, do you have no intention of returning to secular life, or do you have no intention of returning to secular life for me?"

Thinking of that possibility, the woman's face showed sorrow, "He Chen, as long as you marry me, I will forgive that woman!"

"I'll let them go, okay?"

Seeing her so humble, the He family disciples behind her were even more furious. "What are you trying to persuade me for, Miss? You should be grateful to the person you've taken a liking to!"

A monk, and they want their young lady to go mad for him! They're being ridiculed by outsiders!

That's absolutely outrageous!

Instead of cherishing such a great opportunity, why are you pretending to be detached from worldly affairs?!

The prayer beads in He Chen's hand rolled extremely fast, and streams of Buddhist teachings emerged from them to complete the golden bell, resisting the deep blue killing array above the temple!

Even so, he still earnestly advised, "Benefactor He, this humble monk has already decided to spend his life with the ancient Buddha and the flickering lamp. I hope you will reconsider!"

Turn back?

At this point, why should we let her turn back?

He Yuan's face darkened completely. "A life of solitary repose with a lamp and ancient Buddha? If you were to live like this your whole life, that would be one thing, but why are you so special to that woman?!"

"He Chen, your so-called lifelong companionship with the Buddha is nothing but a lie to appease outsiders!"

Upon hearing these words, He Yuan felt as if her heart was about to break!

For countless days and nights, she tried to convince herself that He Chen and that woman were just ordinary people, but the way they interacted kept swirling in her mind, even becoming a nightmare!

She still couldn't convince herself!

He Chen frowned.

“Benefactor He, she is just a friend of mine.”

He Yuan roared, "If she's a friend, why won't you tell me who she is?!"

Clearly, he didn't want her to get hurt!

This realization completely shattered He Yuan's rationality!

Her calm gaze held a desperate hatred as she spoke in a hoarse voice, "He Chen, today you have only two choices! Either marry me, or I will slaughter all the monks in the world!"

With a flick of the longsword, a chilling wind howled!

The essence of swordplay is revealed in countless debates!

The monk beside He Chen looked grim. "Abbot, her inner demons are too great. I'm afraid we can't stop her!"

"Please go from the back first!"

He Chen shook his head decisively, "Since I'm here, I'm part of Luoxue Temple! If I can't defeat her, there's no way I can escape! Besides, she came for me anyway!"

"Xue Rao, you take them with you!"

He Chen's words were met with opposition from everyone behind him.

"Abbot, this will not be allowed!"

"We would never abandon you and run away!"

He Chen glanced at the several elders behind He Yuan who had not yet made a move. Their auras were profound, and the occasional bursts of spiritual energy they leaked were incredibly powerful!

They are far beyond their capabilities!
