I'm caught in the cycle of endless competition, you're waiting for me in the apocalypse.

"Xinxin, what's wrong?" Li Qingchuan walked over at this moment!

"There might be a good show coming up! But we might not be able to see it..."

—You can't see it, but I might! I really want to see Kwon Yuri's expression, but I don't want to see those two's cringe-worthy performance. What should I do?!

An Xin watched as Kwon Yuri walked towards that room... She opened the door, but then stopped...

She was so eager to gossip that she activated her third eye and third ear.

Kwon Yuri was furious when she saw the two naked people in the room. However, not wanting to be laughed at by so many ghosts, she had no choice but to close and lock the door.

"You! What are you doing!" Kwon Yuri shouted angrily.

But Quan Shaohua was so intoxicated by the sleeping potion that he completely ignored Quan Yuli and continued to exercise with Anna.

"This is outrageous! This is really outrageous..." he roared as he tried to pull Anna away.

Anna appeared dazed at this moment. In fact, she was not affected by the bewitching incense, but was simply confused by the operation of the dual cultivation technique.

Because she wanted to seduce Xie Zi'an, she applied too much bewitching perfume to her body, causing Quan Yuli, who was close to her, to also become somewhat intoxicated...

An Xin was stunned, her mouth agape in disbelief!

"Xin'er, stop looking..." Xie Zi'an rushed towards An Xin, feeling extremely guilty. "I just wanted Quan Yuli to see that scene, so that they would turn against each other... I didn't expect that woman to be covered in so much bewitching incense..."

"You owe me! You owe me back a pair of eyes I've never seen before! Senior brother, my eyes are no longer pure..."

Li Qingchuan was completely baffled by An Xin's tearful expression. He turned to look at Gu Shuohan: What's going on?

“An Xin said there was going to be a good show, and then not long after, this happened to her!” With a shrug, Gu Shuohan indicated that he was helpless.

"Xin'er, it's my fault..."

"Alright, alright! Seeing that you've admitted your mistake, I'll let you off this time. But you can't tell anyone about this! Otherwise..." An Xin brandished her fist and shook it, then said to her companions, "Let's go, the East City Lord and the Young City Lord will be very busy from now on!"

After bidding farewell to the World Lord, the two City Lords, and Fu Mochen, the group hurriedly returned to the Soul Return Tower!

Upon entering the suite, An Xin quickly took out a large amount of food to replenish the energy of her companions!

After everyone finished eating and drinking and tidied up, An Xin and the others summarized the information they had gathered that day. Except for the scene of Anna and the two ghosts exercising, she described everything else in detail.

"The key issue now is that this world is about to be swallowed up and destroyed!" Gu Shuohan was the first to lose his composure.

"Don't worry, it will take decades or even centuries for it to be destroyed!" An Xin patted his shoulder, indicating that there was no need to worry too much.

"Does Xinxin mean she wants to save those ghosts and monsters?" Li Qingchuan asked at this moment.

"Save them if you can, and there's nothing you can do if you can't! Do what you can."

"Hmm, I'm afraid you'll become a saint! To be honest, it's already quite an achievement to be able to protect yourself."

"To help others, you must first help yourself! I have the ability to help others, I understand that! But if I can help but don't, I might feel bad. It's all for peace of mind!"

"As long as you understand and maintain a proper balance, we support you!" Qi Mingxuan also said.

"...Thank you everyone!"

"Dangdangdang..."

"Who's knocking on the glass?" Everyone turned around, but the room was silent...

"What are you doing here?" An Xin had no choice but to push open the French windows and let Xie Zi'an, who was floating in mid-air, into the room.

"This is Fu Mochen's property, and his residence is right next door. He invited me here!"

"Then why are you here?"

"I saw you!" Xie Zian said casually, but everyone felt extremely uneasy, as if they were being watched all the time.

"Then you should go back to Fu Mochen's room quickly. There are too many people here, it's inconvenient!"

"What's inconvenient? There are so many men here, why don't you come with me to Fu Mochen's room?"

"Hey! We're not close. I only met you today, and Fu Mochen knows very little about us. I don't want outsiders to know about us!"

“Yes, Fu Mochen is an outsider, but I know about your affairs, so I am an insider!” Xie Zian was very pleased, and a shallow dimple appeared on his icy face.

An Xin sighed: Men's thought processes are really hard to understand!

"That's not how it's divided. Anyway, I won't go to that room!"

"Because of Fu Mochen, an outsider? It's alright, I'll just kick him out!"

"That's even more unacceptable. It's just the two of us, a man and a woman alone in a room. What do you think you're going to do?" An Xin deliberately raised her voice and covered her chest with her hands to let him know that men and women are different!

"But what does it matter? We've been together since we were little, growing up under the same roof. I remember when you were little, just learning to talk, you kept pestering me to sleep in the same bed with you." Xie Zian's matter-of-fact attitude stunned everyone.

"I said it was when I was little. They say boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven, but I'm all grown up now!"

"No, you were over 100 years old then!"

"Ahhh! You've confused me! I've never done this before! If you don't get out of here, I'm really not going to recognize you anymore!" With that, she pushed Xie Zi'an towards the door with both hands.

Seeing that An Xin was really angry, Xie Zi'an had no choice but to back down and soften his voice: "I'll leave now, Xin'er, don't be angry. If you need anything, be sure to come find me. I'll be right here."

"Alright, alright, I got it!" An Xin pushed the person out, closed the door, and sighed again...

Master! You always said not to sigh, that sighing is bad! But I have no choice; I've sighed all the sighs I'll ever have in this lifetime today…

Back in the reception room, anxious eyes converged on him!

"I'm done talking, I'm tired, I'm going to wash up and go to bed! Goodnight!"

Not daring to look at the men in the living room, An Xin slunk away into her room.

"Xiao Jiu, you're still the best!"

"I really don't know what you're afraid of? You didn't do anything wrong, so why did you run away like that?" Seeing the little girl looking listless, Di Ting couldn't help but say a few more words.

"It's not that I'm scared, it's just that I feel awkward! They're all my companions, so I care about what they think!"

"You still have people you care about? Judging from your usual carefree attitude, they're all your buddies or best friends. When have you ever paid attention to your image? And now you're acting embarrassed and shy? Do you really have such noble qualities?"

"You're calling that a 'manly bitch'! Xiao Jiu, you've become a total hypocrite!"

"Isn't that what I learned from you!" Di Ting jumped onto the bed and lay down next to An Xin. "Just be yourself and be happy! Things are the same, take it slow, like you said there's always a solution to every problem! We've been through so much, what's a little more? Sleep it off, wake up with a clear mind and energy, and everything will be wonderful again!"

"Um... thank you, my little Jiu!"

………………

"Ah! Ao Jue! You actually read this kind of book! You're supposed to be a dragon! You've shattered all my beautiful imagination of dragons!"

An Xin heard Wei Ran's loud voice early in the morning. She scratched her head in bed, glanced at the time, yawned, stretched, and floated out of bed like a ghost to the shower room to wash up.

"Ah Ran, don't make a fuss and shout! You'll disturb Xin Xin's sleep!" Qi Mingxuan took a sip of the spiritual liquid and glanced at the time: "It's too early!"

"Okay!" Wei Ran immediately zipped up his mouth!

"Aran, Ao Jue is a dragon. Xinxin said that dragons are inherently lewd, cruel, and belligerent! Don't have any romanticized notions about this kind of creature!" Li Qingchuan glanced at the book in Ao Jue's hand, then picked up his glass and drank the spiritual liquid.

"What are you talking about?" An Xin came out of the room and started taking out food again.

"Xinxin, Ao Jue is a pervert. Stay away from him in the future!" Wei Ran was like a primary school student, nitpicking his classmate's mistakes and tattled on him to the teacher.

An Xin's "Oh~" was so convoluted and roundabout that it made Ao Jue blush and turn red!

"It's not what you think! Really, I found this in Kwon Yuri's room, the one on the 6th floor!"

Why didn't you mention this when you were compiling the data yesterday?

Unable to defend himself, Ao Jue was truly determined to prove his innocence with his death. He had no choice but to recount his visit to the sixth floor the previous day: "It really wasn't anything. I found this book in a hidden compartment. That compartment was full of books, and I saw the title, 'Reversal of Heaven and Earth,' and thought it sounded powerful, definitely one of the strongest martial arts manuals. So I secretly took it out. I thought it was just one book, and taking it out wouldn't be discovered. But I was afraid you'd say I'd alerted them by going to the sixth floor, so I didn't say anything..."

"You knew you'd alert the enemy!" Gu Shuohan had just come out of the room when he heard Xiaobailong's explanation, and he gave him a sarcastic remark.

"Oh dear, I really didn't mean to! I genuinely didn't see the small print about dual cultivation techniques!"

"What kind of dual cultivation technique?"

"The Heaven and Earth Reversal Dual Cultivation Technique!"

"Let me see it quickly!" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck An Xin, who was eager to verify it! She practically snatched the cultivation manual from Ao Jue's hands.

At this, everyone's gaze began to change...

A moment later, after An Xin quickly finished flipping through the cultivation manual, she suddenly looked up and loudly spat out a "vicious" curse. In the blink of an eye, she rushed out the door and urgently knocked on the door of the next suite.

Qi Mingxuan noticed something when he saw An Xin's expression. Recalling what happened yesterday with the World Master, Anna, Quan Yuli, and Quan Shaohua, he picked up the cultivation manual that had been lying aside and began to read it. The more he read, the darker his face became.

It wasn't until An Xin called Xie Zi'an and Fu Mochen over that everyone sat on the sofa or chairs, calmly waiting for her to reveal the answer.

Taking a breath, An Xin glanced at the men's curious, puzzled, and confused eyes, then exhaled: "I finally know why it's Anna! There's only one truth! Anna is the legendary pure Yin constitution!"

"Is it the kind of 'perfect furnace body' physique from novels?"

"Yes!" An Xin replied confidently.

Ignoring the gasps in the hall, she continued, "Ao Jue said that this cultivation technique was found in Quan Yuli's room, so I felt that the dual cultivation technique must be related to Anna seducing the World Lord! I looked through the contents, and the primary condition is to find someone with a pure Yang or pure Yin constitution, and such people are extremely rare. Coincidentally, Anna is one of them!"

"Kwon Yuri wants Anna and me to cultivate together? Wouldn't that improve her cultivation level, and also improve mine?"

"This cultivation method is called the 'Reversal of Heaven and Earth' Dual Cultivation Method. It contains three types. The first is the most common dual cultivation method you mentioned, which harmonizes the mind and body. The second is where the woman absorbs all of the man's primordial yang, essence, cultivation, or energy for her own use. The third is where the man uses his 'nurturing vessel' as an energy container for his own consumption!"

“Xinxin, Anna must have known this technique a long time ago! Back then, she tried everything to win Wei Ran over, but to no avail, so she had to seduce him. At the time, we couldn’t understand why she was in such a hurry on our first meeting. It turns out she was after Wei Ran’s cultivation level!” Qi Mingxuan, having figured out the whole story, brought up the matter. “So, Kwon Yuri has been around in our world for a long time!”

"That's right, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen an adopted son to be the young city lord. Given how much he cares about power, how could he possibly keep a threat by his side! It turns out he's been away for a long time and needs someone to keep the East City in check!" Gu Shuohan had learned a lot of gossip and rumors after yesterday's promotional event, and now he could immediately connect the dots!

"Quan Shaohua is from Beicheng, a confidant of Kui Jun! His goal is to make Quan Yuli the ringleader, using him to do things that are against the natural order, such as sacrifices, and then break the boundary. He also wants to use Anna to absorb the master's cultivation energy for his own use, to attack the master, so that he can reap the benefits in the end." As Xie Zian's intelligence agent, Fu Mochen was most familiar with these conspiracies and tricks.

“Since ancient times, the Northern Di people have been skilled in witchcraft. Perhaps these forbidden spells and techniques were given to Quan Yuli by Quan Shaohua.” Li Qingchuan also understood the key to this matter.

"Anna definitely doesn't know the third type of dual cultivation technique, otherwise how could she not have guessed her fate? Someone like Kwon Yuri... Ha... This also explains why Kwon Shao Hua wanted to instigate Anna to seduce the World Lord! And then he himself wanted to seduce Anna and sow discord between Anna and Kwon Yuri! This North City Lord, Wei Jun, is something else!"

As An Xin analyzed this, she exclaimed inwardly, "Wow, this is truly a classic case of two birds fighting over a clam while a third party reaps the benefits!"
