Lin Jingyi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "The stone pendant I always carry with me is missing. I wonder if you've seen it, Xiaoyue?"

The spatial artifact was brought with Helanxi from the womb and she always carried it with her, never leaving it except when bathing.

Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in Shu Yue's eyes, and she tightened her grip on the artifact: "I hung the princess's pendant on the screen, but it might... have fallen to the ground."

"My pendant has been missing since you left." Lin Jingyi stared intently at Shu Yue: "Also, why did you stand with your hands behind your back when you saw me? What were you holding in your hands?"

While Lin Jingyi was asking questions, Shu Yue slipped the artifact into her sleeve and, after making sure it wouldn't fall out, knelt down with a 'plop'.

"I beg Your Highness's forgiveness, I truly had no idea the pendant was lost." Her tone feigned fear and unease.

After saying that, he knelt down on the ground and raised his hands above his head.

Lin Jingyi walked up to Shu Yue, slowly squatted down, and used his left index finger to lift Shu Yue's chin, making the two look at each other.

Shu Yue's eyes darted away, a hint of unease flashing across them.

"Does the princess not believe me?" A moment later, Shu Yue looked aggrieved, and her eyes began to fill with tears.

"Ah."

Lin Jingyi chuckled and slammed Shu Yue to the ground.

"Whether you know it or not, it's not up to you to say." After saying that, Lin Jingyi's divine sense also swept over the pendant in Shu Yue's sleeve, and his hand directly reached into Shu Yue's sleeve.

Shu Yue quickly stood up, gripping her sleeve tightly, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Noticing the change in Shu Yue's emotions, Lin Jingyi directly used the pressure of his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation to lock onto Shu Yue.

"Search for me!" Lin Jingyi ordered the palace maids behind him, staring at Shu Yue.

[System, what was the original owner's wish?] Lin Jingyi was at a crucial moment when he finished receiving the memories and didn't have time to check Helanxi's wish. Now that he was stopping Shuyue from recognizing the space as its owner, Lin Jingyi finally had time to check Helanxi's wish.

The system didn't waste any time and directly transmitted Helanxi's wish to Lin Jingyi.

[To repay a debt in kind, to avenge myself against Shu Yue; to reclaim what is rightfully mine; to protect the Kingdom of Helan and my parents and brothers.]

After learning about Helanxi's wish, Lin Jingyi had an idea.

"Princess, the item has been found." Under the shackles of oppressive power, Shu Yue, still a mortal, was unable to break free and could only watch helplessly as the palace maid took the item from her sleeve.

Lin Jingyi took the pendant handed to him by the palace maid and examined it carefully.

A yellow stone was surrounded by a circle of gold, with a thin rope hanging from the edge of the gold.

It looks like an ordinary stone, but it was made into a pendant because it was something she was born with.

Lin Jingyi hung the pendant around his neck and instructed the palace maids, "Keep an eye on her and don't let her run away."

"Yes," the palace maid behind him replied respectfully.

After finishing his sentence, Lin Jingyi returned to Helanxi's room, dismissed the maids who were serving him, and sat directly on the bed.

Since Helanxi wants Shuyue to experience everything she went through, then she can't let her die so easily.

Without the threat of Shu Yue, protecting Helan Kingdom and his family is not difficult.

Having finally arrived in a world of cultivation, Lin Jingyi felt extremely at home.

If given the chance, she would also like to leave this country and visit a cultivation sect.

She took out the pendant, bit her fingertip, placed the fingertip on the pendant, and with a little pressure, blood flowed out.

Fresh blood dripped onto the yellow stone, and soon the stone absorbed the blood.

As the stone shed its yellow outer layer, the ring of gold also fell off, revealing a vibrant red stone with a subtle sheen.

Lin Jingyi also felt a connection between himself and the stone.

Hold the stone in your hand and spread it out in your palm.

The wound on his fingertip healed instantly, and the red stone disappeared into Lin Jingyi's body.

With a probe of his divine sense, Lin Jingyi appeared in the space.

What comes into view is a bamboo house, surrounded by colorful pebbles, with a small pond to the left of the entrance.

Apart from that, the rest of the place was completely bare.

The naked eye can only see about ten meters away; beyond that, all you can see is a white fog.

The world that He Xi remembers is completely different.

“Boundless?” Lin Jingyi stood outside the bamboo house, calling out the name of the spatial artifact spirit.

Receiving no response, Lin Jingyi flew up to the second floor and saw a small barrier on the couch in a room.

Inside the barrier lay a child the size of a thumb, with his eyes closed.

In order to protect Xi's soul, Wujie also consumed a huge amount of energy, and now he can only lie in the small barrier in the space to heal himself.

Space and artifact spirits are closely related. If Wujie can awaken, then space will be a completely different place.

Lin Jingyi slowly channeled some spiritual energy into the barrier. The artifact spirit had not yet regained consciousness and could only absorb a limited amount of spiritual energy. After sensing that the spiritual energy inside the barrier was abundant, Lin Jingyi stopped channeling it.

He flashed out of the space.

The silvery moonlight streaming into the room through the window allowed Lin Jingyi to see the interior furnishings clearly.

The moon wasn't that high before she entered the space, but after a while, the bright moon hung high in the sky.

It is evident that time in space is currently the same as the flow rate in the outside world.

It seems that the time array that Xi set up in my memory no longer exists.

Opening his divine sense, he saw two people dressed in pale yellow palace attire guarding outside the hall. One of them sat on the steps outside the hall, propped up on his knees, with his chin on his hand, looking up at the moon in the sky.

Another palace maid was leaning against a pillar, her head nodding, clearly asleep.

To the left of the palace gate was a small side room, where two eunuchs sat at the door, both dozing off against the wall.

A glance into the room revealed a large bed on the far right, a small dressing table next to it, and a chair in the middle... The furnishings were comparable to those of a young lady from a merchant family.

At this moment, Shu Yue was lying on the edge of the bed, her feet were locked together by a large iron chain, and her hands were tied to the foot of the bed.

She was unable to move.

Shu Yue began to awaken her previous memories when He Lanxi held her birthday banquet, and it wasn't until today that she was able to sort out her memories.

In her memories as Meng Yue, only the pendant resembled the spatial artifact in her memory. Before she could even try to claim the item as her own, she was caught red-handed.

At this moment, Shu Yue regretted not having claimed the item as her own the moment she received it. Judging from the other party's nervousness about the pendant, it was clear that they had regained their memories.

Her current body has no spiritual roots... making cultivation impossible.

If only she could get Xi's cultivation technique. She remembered that Xi had once told her that anyone could cultivate her technique anytime, anywhere, as long as they had energy.

But at that time, she was a demon cultivator with her own cultivation techniques and didn't take Xi's techniques seriously...

She felt a pang of regret; if she had succeeded in her sneak attack and stayed further away from Xi... perhaps she wouldn't have had to come to this wretched place...

Lin Jingyi saw with his divine sense that Shu Yue looked utterly hopeless, so he withdrew his divine sense.

Lin Jingyi lowered the gauze curtain and began to meditate cross-legged.
