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

It seemed that as long as he saw her, he would never fall into that boring mood again.

As Xuan Li slowly came to her senses, she recalled the kiss from earlier and felt both ashamed and angry.

She couldn't help but punch Hongyue in the chest, then struggled and scrambled out of his arms, standing three meters away, her hands trembling as she pointed at him incredulously and cursed.

"Stinking rogue!"

Hongyue said in a good-natured tone,

"Okay, whatever Ali says goes."

Even when she's angry, this little girl is so adorable.

Xuan Li glared at him, "I want to go back!"

Don't hang out with scoundrels!

"No."

The man leaned lazily against the pillar behind him, looking at her with a smile.

"Why! This is kidnapping!"

The little girl was puffed up with anger, her watery eyes filled with accusation against him.

Hongyue clenched her left fist and placed it in front of his smiling lips, blocking the smile that was about to spill out.

"Don't wrong me. I didn't restrict your freedom. You can go anywhere in the Lingmeng Star Sea."

"I'm leaving Reimu Star Sea!"

"Sure, I didn't stop you."

Xuan Li looked at him suspiciously, "Where is the exit?"

Would this guy really be that kind?

"No Exit."

Xuan Li: "???"

"No, are you kidding me? How did we get in if there was no exit?"

Hongyue was amused by the phrase "we," and a smile flashed in his eyes. "The Spirit Dream Star Sea is a secret realm. Once a contract is formed, only the master can freely enter and exit. Since you are a guest, naturally only I can take you out."

Xuan Li frowned. "Then you should see me out!"

"No."

Red Moon closed her eyes in a shameless manner.

The little girl was furious. She walked over, squatted down on the ground, grabbed his face, and said fiercely, "What exactly do you want?"

"Sigh~"

Hongyue quickly covered her face, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Ali is trying to murder her husband!"

Xuan Li blushed slightly, feeling a little awkward after hearing what he said. "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't make me beat you up!"

What husband? This guy can't even speak properly!

“I was wrong. Ali was not murdering her husband. She was just disciplining her disobedient husband.”

Husband... my husband...?

These two words startled Xuan Li, who immediately released his face and jumped a meter away.

"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense!"

How could the naive little Ali possibly outwit this old man who had lived for thousands of years? He simply smiled...

"Alright, alright, if Madam doesn't want me to say it, then I don't want to say it. It's okay if I have to suffer a little."

"you!"

Xuan Li was utterly shocked by the shamelessness of the person in front of him. Was he made of brick?!

The little girl ran out of the pavilion in anger, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

Hongyue got up and slowly followed behind her, not saying a word, just gazing at her back with a lovestruck look.

So what if I don't like it?

Ali can only be his; no one else can even think about coveting her.

The little girl took a few steps forward, hesitated for a long time, then turned to look at him with a serious gaze, "You're not really going to let me stay here forever, are you?"

Once the Sword Saint's Secret Realm opens in a month, she can't possibly still be here.

Hongyue walked over and patted her head. The little girl didn't flinch. "I was just kidding. But I've finally come back from the battlefield for a few days. Can't Ali spend some time with me?"

The man's gaze was lowered, his half-closed eyelashes trembling, as if he were very aggrieved.

Xuan Li felt like she was going crazy, actually thinking he was being wronged?

She's the one who's been wronged, okay?

but....

"Battlefield? What battlefield?"

Hongyue sighed, "Although the Chaoyang Holy Palace has sealed the demons in the Demon Burial Abyss, it is only temporary."

"The Burial Abyss of Demons is connected to the ancient battlefield, where a continuous stream of demons are bred every day, attempting to break through the seal and wreak havoc on the human world."

“Ali, they are different from the demons you see in the records. They have pure blood and are extremely powerful.”

“Crushing a Spirit Master is as easy as drinking water for them. I’m always very careful, afraid I won’t be able to come back.”

"I finally get to come back, and I still get criticized by Ali, sigh~"

"what?"

Xuan Li had no idea it was this dangerous. She bit her lip and asked, "Are you... alright?"

The man's voice was tinged with bitterness, "It's alright. Since Ali hates me so much, I won't come next time."

"Anyway, I'm tired of living in constant fear. If I die on an ancient battlefield someday, that's my fate."

If Sha Ling were here, she would definitely expose him.

All that fear and caution was a lie; of the four, he was the one who enjoyed the killing the most!

Xuan Li didn't understand for a moment. "Wait, how did this get into the topic of life and death?"

Hongyue took her hand and looked into her eyes. Beneath his slightly raised eyelashes were a pair of eyes as bright as stars. His tone was sincere, "Because, the motivation that keeps me coming back alive every time is you."

Xuan Li stood there, stunned.

Are ancient battlefields really that dangerous?

What merits did she possess to be regarded by him as the reason for his survival?

Xuan Li was burned by his intense gaze and subconsciously looked away to avoid the topic. "Is the Lingmeng Star Sea you mentioned in Qinghe Luozhou?"

"No, Lingmeng Star Sea is a secret realm that I discovered by chance before, the most beautiful secret realm in legend."
