The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

The fake Luo Qingcheng did not answer.

He simply removed the illusion technique from his body, revealing his true appearance.

A divinely created face appeared before them.

Her lips were naturally red, her face was as white as snow, her eyes were like a deep blue sea, and she had knee-length blue hair adorned with a hairpin inlaid with blue pearls.

She wore a bright red wedding dress that was clearly elaborately crafted, a stark contrast to the mass-produced wedding dresses worn by Luo Qingcheng and the others. It was shimmering and radiant, like a fabric woven from the Milky Way.

However, a deep sorrow lingered between her brows, making her appear pitiful to those who saw her.

Luo Qingcheng gasped.

Sis, if you had told me you looked like this earlier, we would have given you whatever you wanted!

At the same time, the Entangling Spell and the Vine Prison turned into green light spots and disappeared. A blue spiritual power enveloped Luo Qingcheng, and when it disappeared again, she was back to the outfit she wore when she entered the illusion, with her storage bag containing all her wealth hanging heavily from her waist.

She trembled as she took the Fire Spirit Orb out of her storage bag, and the warmth emanating from it quickly spread throughout her body.

Only then did she return to normal, her eyebrows still streaked with snow.

Turning around, I saw Hongdou clinging to Li Zhiming, drooling over the pretty older sister, while Li Zhiming helplessly wiped Hongdou's saliva with his sleeve.

Little White Flower stared at the pretty lady with a look of surprise, as if it were the first time she had ever seen her like this.

"Pretty lady, just tell us what you want, and we'll do our best to accommodate you."

Luo Qingcheng was very sincere and blurted it out, only to realize that he had also lost his mission of creating a persona.

The pretty woman frowned as she looked at Luo Qingcheng.

Luo Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat when she looked into his deep blue eyes, and he suddenly understood why King You of Zhou had lit the beacon fires to amuse his concubine.

At this moment, all she wanted was to make the beautiful older sister smile, and she was willing to do anything for that.

"Don't call me pretty sister, my name is Yu Nu."

Her voice is ethereal and beautiful; listening to her speak is a pleasure, though it sounds somewhat familiar.

Luo Qingcheng was stunned for a moment before she realized that "Yu Nu" was the name that Yu Lang called her when she first entered the illusion.

But just now, Little White Flower clearly called her "Auntie"? Isn't "Auntie" what Yu Lang's mother means?

Chaos, utter chaos.

Luo Qingcheng asked cautiously, "What's your relationship with that Yulang—?"

She swore she was absolutely not gossiping!

Yu Nu frowned deeply, clearly reluctant to answer the question, but for some reason, she still said, "I am Zhou Yu's first wife."

what? !

Sis, what are you after?

She admitted that Zhou Yu was somewhat handsome, but compared to you, what difference was there between him and the moon in the sky and mud on the ground?!

Even the red beans stopped drooling; all I could see was disbelief.

Little White Flower was also shocked. Her eyes widened, and she asked Yu Nu in a fierce tone, "Is it really you?"

No one paid attention to her.

Luo Qingcheng, recalling how angry Yu Nu seemed to be earlier for not allowing Hongdou to hurt Zhou Yu, asked, "You don't still have feelings for him, do you?"

If she said yes, Luo Qingcheng couldn't imagine how heartbroken he would be.

Fortunately, Yu Nu denied it.

“I have a purpose in keeping him alive. The illusion in the sea is mine now. You outsiders, leave at once.”

"No, we're here on a mission!"

Yu Nu frowned. "What mission?"

"We need the red pearl that the sea god truly gave us, and the blue pearl that the sea queen truly gave us."

Luo Qingcheng is quite honest.

Upon hearing this, Yu Nu subconsciously raised her hand to touch the pearl hairpin behind her head, then coldly said, "Leave, mission failed; stay, die!"

The pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator erupted from Yu Nu, and Hong Dou and Li Zhiming were immediately forced to the ground by the pressure. Xiao Baihua fared slightly better, kneeling on the ground and struggling to hold on, with blood actually spilling from the corner of her mouth this time.

On the contrary, Luo Qingcheng performed the best. Perhaps it was because she had borrowed the pressure of the Nascent Soul from the system, or perhaps it was because her spiritual power had become more resilient and resistant to pressure after being repeatedly beaten. Luo Qingcheng was the only weakling who was still standing.

But that doesn't mean she wasn't uncomfortable.

Yu Nu was surprised that she was still standing perfectly fine.

Luo Qingcheng gritted his teeth, bearing the immense pressure and enduring the excruciating pain emanating from his internal organs, and struggled to speak: "The illusionary realm in the sea has existed for over two hundred years. If the illusionary realm truly belongs to you, what is your purpose in opening it to outsiders? Isn't it to have outsiders help you lift the curse?"

He exerted pressure for a moment.

Luo Qingcheng raised his hand and saw that, sure enough, the skin had cracked again.

But it doesn't matter, she made the right bet.

How do you know about curses?

How did you know? I guessed.

But she couldn't just answer Yu Nu's question like that.

That one move had already made Luo Qingcheng realize the vast difference in strength between cultivators.

Yu Nu could crush her with a flick of his finger, but she remained calm.

On the contrary, Li Zhiming on the side was secretly anxious, and his breathing became rapid.

He knew perfectly well that Luo Qingcheng's accidental deduction was based on guessing from the keywords he had mentioned to it before!

He was afraid that if Luo Qingcheng tried to be clever in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he might accidentally go too far and be killed by the Nascent Soul cultivator. In that case, Hongdou would have to risk her life to lose another person.

Luo Qingcheng organized his thoughts and slowly said, "When I entered the illusion, Zhou Yu called me 'Yu Nu' in person. Little White Flower said that there were several brides before me, so your statement that you were the first one is a lie."

Li Zhiming's breath hitched.

He didn't know how Luo Qingcheng dared to say that the Nascent Soul Venerable was lying. Regardless of whether it was true or false, did she even know what situation she was in now?

Fortunately, Yu Nu did not pursue the matter, but instead said with great interest, "Continue."

Luo Qingcheng changed the subject: "But you weren't lying. Yu Nu was indeed Zhou Yu's first wife, it's just that the 'Yu Nu' I played wasn't. In other words, every one of Zhou Yu's wives was a 'Yu Nu'! Once you figure this out, it's easy to know that your purpose in having Hong Dou come to marry Zhou Yu was to make Hong Dou the next 'Yu Nu,' am I right, beautiful sister?"

This is also why she was limited by her persona; presumably, her persona was set according to the first Yu Nu.

Yu Nu neither admitted nor denied it, but only said, "Even if what you say is true, how did you know about the curse?"

Luo Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yu Nu said that, it means she guessed correctly.

The rest is much easier to write.

"Little White Flower led Yu Nu to the underground space, where there were tens of millions of corpses whose blood was released and became part of the blood pool. There were four ghosts, one missing an arm, one missing a leg, one without a head, and one with a complete body but a disfigured face. These must be the four people who tried to break the curse after the first Yu Nu?"

"So what if it is? This only proves that outsiders are indeed unable to break the curse and instead lose their lives. It is even more justifiable for me to drive you out of the illusion."

"But those brides weren't outsiders, were they?"
