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

Feng Siyue glanced at her and said with amusement, "Don't think I don't know, you even swiped two jars from the private room last time."

The woman in red: "..."

Xuan Li laughed awkwardly, "You knew?"

"When I woke up that day, my mouth tasted so strongly of peach blossom wine, do you think I couldn't taste it?"

"Hehe, that's because I didn't have any water on me."

Xuan Li lifted the wine jar and gulped down two mouthfuls, then sighed before handing it to Feng Siyue, "If all else fails, I'll go out and buy some food. You wait here for me?"

"What if you can't get in?"

Xuan Li frowned. "Yeah, if I can't get in, wouldn't it mean your trial will fail if we reset it the next day?"

Xuan Li collapsed onto the bed, her beautiful peach blossom eyes now lifeless. "Ah... I'm so hungry..."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she sat up abruptly, reached into the red pouch at her waist, untied it, and took out a round, white pill about the size of a thumb, handing it to Feng Siyue. "Here."

The girl reached out and took it. "What's this?"

"Candy balls made from ice spirit fruit! Super sweet and delicious!"

Ice Spirit Fruit?

Isn't that a sixth-grade spiritual fruit?

Sugar pills?

"Um...do you have some kind of emotional disorder?"

Feng Siyue suddenly asked.

Xuan Li looked bewildered. "What emotional illness? I don't have one."

"These are snacks my brother prepared for me. He said he was worried I would eat random things outside, so he would give them to me to satisfy my cravings when I'm hungry."

"Let me tell you, my brother makes really delicious sugar pills, you have to try them!"

There's none?

Feng Siyue put the sugar pill in her mouth; it was indeed very sweet.

Her gaze toward Xuan Li held a hint of barely perceptible doubt.

Although the Ice Spirit Fruit is a sweet fruit, it has the effect of clearing away inner demons and calming the mind. It is generally used to refine the Grade 5 Barrier-Breaking Pill to eliminate inner demons.

However, because of its excellent efficacy, it is also often used to calm the mind and eliminate various negative emotions, such as excessive grief, fear, and shock.

Look at Ali's bulging purse; it's clearly full.

Even if you don't eat the Ice Spirit Fruit, making it into pills and carrying it with you will have excellent effects. Why would the senior pack this for Ali?

Could it really be because it's sweet?

A seed of doubt was planted in Feng Siyue's heart.

Seeing that she had eaten one and wanted to eat more, I quickly snatched her purse away, saying, "You can't eat anymore!"

Xuan Li looked at her accusingly, "What are you doing? That's my purse, my candy!"

Why did you have to take hers?!

"One a day, no more."

Xuan Li objected, "Why?"

“Ah Li, we don’t know how long we’ll be here. If you eat all of this at once, you’ll really starve to death.”

The reason is that consuming large amounts of Ice Spirit Fruit can lead to a lack of emotional well-being.

Feng Siyue didn't know how much her senior had used, but since it was enough for Ali to carry around, the quantity must have been kept within a safe range.

Twenty... would that be the maximum amount?

"But it can't finish it!"

"There are at most twenty in this pouch. It will be finished in ten days. How come you can't finish them?"

Xuan Li grew anxious, "Let me demonstrate for you!"

She snatched the purse and poured out all the sugar pills inside. "Watch this!"

A faint blue light flashed across the empty purse, and it was filled with twenty candy pills again.

"See? It's amazing!"

Feng Siyue: "..."

She twitched her lips. Don't think she didn't see it; there was a small golden array at the bottom of the purse.

The teleportation array delivers candy pills, senior, you're really something...

宠。

The next second, a gentle, yet slightly helpless male voice rang in their ears, "Ah Li, did I ever tell you not to eat so much candy at once?"

Xuan Li stuck out her tongue. "Okay, okay, goodbye, brother!"

Then she tightened the knot in her purse and retied it around her waist, pointing to the sugar pills on the bed and saying, "Can we eat them now?"

Feng Siyue nodded silently.

"But if you can deliver sugar pills, why can't you deliver some food?"

“No, Xuanzu said that this teleportation array is linked to the candy box he prepared for me, and it can only teleport this candy.”

"Then what's that sound?"

Xuan Li waved his hand, "It's nothing more than him sensing the fluctuations of the formation and saying a few words to me."

Feng Siyue understood, but she was even more puzzled as to why her senior would prepare so many candy pills made from Ice Spirit Fruit for her.

They even carved a teleportation array on it?

When there were five sugar pills left, Xuan Li glanced at the unfinished sugar pills and swallowed hard.

Although she really wanted to eat it, she reluctantly pushed the sugar pill to Feng Siyue, saying, "Put it away."

"Don't eat?"

Xuan Li shook her head, "I won't eat it. My brother said that eating more than eight a day will make me ugly."

Feng Siyue: "..."

I've never heard of Ice Spirit Fruit making people ugly.

"Ok."

Seeing that Feng Siyue had put it away, Xuan Li rubbed his stomach.

"Still hungry, sigh..."

How can a few candies possibly fill you up?

"Let's speed things up and try to get out for dinner as soon as possible."

Xuan Li lay listlessly on the bed.

"it is good……"

At midnight, Feng Siyue got up and took her outside.

As Feng Siyue expected, she heard the whimpering sound again.

They followed quietly.

It was the same house as that night, but this time there were no disciples of the Taiqing Sword Sect.

Ice Cat easily entered the house and circled around Ice Cat, who was bound by red-hot iron chains.

Standing outside, Xuan Li looked incredulous. "This...didn't it just vanish yesterday?"

"And the younger one, I remember he was killed with a single blow!"

Feng Siyue said in a deep voice, "Now I'm even more convinced that this is an illusion."

Because everything—from the Nine Yuan Reincarnation Array to the black-robed woman who appeared, and even what she said next—was exactly the same as yesterday.

Feng Siyue remained hidden in the shadows and did not make a move this time.

Who exactly created this illusion of pain so realistically real?

Xuan Li asked her, "Then what do we do?"

"Wait."

She wanted to see if there would be any new clues as an observer.

Beneath the Nine Reincarnation Array, the woman's wild laughter echoed.

"Hahahaha, Shi'er, Mother has avenged you! Avenged you!"

Every word was written in tears, inexplicably making Feng Siyue feel depressed.

The villagers turned to ashes, and the peaceful and tranquil village became ruins;

Black smoke billowed from the scorched earth!

The woman in black robes knelt on the ground, took out a blood-red love lock from her bosom, pressed it tightly to her heart, and cried out in a daze, "Shi'er, Mother has avenged you."

The love lock was deeply stained red with blood.

In the darkness, a figure appeared carrying a sharp sword, golden runes swirling behind him.

Seeing the horrific scene at his feet and the faint demonic aura emanating from the woman in black, he was overcome with grief and drew his sword with a fierce shout.

"You monster! How dare you harm the innocent!"

The sword, carrying immense power, pierced through the woman's back.

The woman in black robes turned her head slightly. She seemed to sense the long sword coming towards her from behind, but she did not dodge.

Perhaps, they don't want to hide.

The sword pierced her heart, its icy spiritual energy freezing her meridians. The woman in black robes seemed oblivious to the pain, a slow smile spreading across her face.

"Shi'er, my dear daughter... Mother has come to find you, don't be afraid..."

"You will not be alone on the road to the underworld."

Then, it fell backward.
