How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

“Since we’ve been targeted by the Rakshasa Palace, this place isn’t safe anymore. Why don’t you come with us to the Free and Unfettered Sect for a visit, Boss?” Li Xingye suddenly suggested, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Yes, junior sister."

The others nodded in agreement, their gazes all falling on the girl in red.

Ye Yueyue lowered her eyelashes, thought for a moment, and then refused.

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate? I've already troubled you too much. I'm already very grateful that Senior Brother Xu Bai saved me once. If I go back with you, and the Rakshasa Palace sees us, wouldn't that implicate you?"

"Haven't we already set our sights on them?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter if it's one more or one less time, junior sister, you don't need to worry about it."

Yunruo saw the girl in red surrounded by the crowd, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

The girl shook her head, her attitude very firm.

"No need, thank you. If I have the chance, I will visit the Xiaoyao Sect privately another day, but I'll pass this time."

After speaking, Ye Yueyue's gaze fell on the elegant figure at the very front.

She blinked, a smile in her eyes: "I will remember Senior Brother Xu Bai's kindness today, and I will repay it in the future!"

A life-saving grace should be repaid with boundless gratitude.

I can't repay you with my body, but I can reward you by letting you enter my fishpond!

Although Li Xingye felt it was a pity, he didn't try to persuade him further.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Ye Yueyue wanted to meet Jian Youqing on the outskirts, as the two had previously arranged to meet there.

But then she suddenly remembered the Rakshasa Palace she had provoked, and the look in Lai Tiancheng's eyes before he left. Ye Yueyue thought that he might be waiting outside right now.

Thinking of this, she picked up the spiritual scroll and sent a message to Jian Youqing.

[Qingbao, I won't be able to take you back this time. I've contracted a spirit beast... and I can't get away right now.]

Upon seeing these words, a hint of worry flashed across Jian Youqing's eyes.

Did Yuebao run into some danger?

Where are you? I'm coming to find you!

After Ye Yueyue finished sending the message, she looked up and noticed that Jian Youqing had sent her many messages, all of which were filled with words of concern.

And those messages that replied instantly.

Her heart warmed, and her eyes crinkled into a smile.

Don't worry, Qingbao, I'm fine! They didn't spot me during the chaos, and I got the opportunity safely! Hehe, I'll bring it back for you to see next time.

I also ran into that Xiaoyao Sect member from before, the one with the ice-faced guy you mentioned. His cultivation is decent, so I'll be fine staying with them.

Jian Youqing believed what was said, which was only half true.

Thinking of the face that Yuebao liked, although he had a cold personality, his cultivation level was indeed quite high.

【I'll head back to the Xuanling Sect first. Yuebao, wait for me!】

Jian Youqing, who was standing on the outside, was completely relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief, did not wait any longer, and turned to head towards the Xuanling Sect.

A man in black, hidden in the shadows on the outskirts, suddenly heard footsteps. His eyes narrowed, and he lightly tapped his fingertips in the air, his killing intent spreading with each touch.

A chilling gaze swept over the person who approached, lingering on Jian Youqing for two seconds before falling on her face. Upon realizing it wasn't that face, the gaze shifted away.

A chill flashed across Lai Tiancheng's eyes.

Foundation Establishment stage? I'll see how long that person can protect you!

Meanwhile, Ye Yueyue, who was located inside the Sunset Mountains, smiled when she saw that Jian Youqing had dispelled her doubts and found a secluded cave nearby.

After confirming that no one was around, he turned around and entered the space.

Ye Yueyue took out the Yingxin Grass given to her by the Xiaoyao Sect. The luminous spiritual plant shone brightly in her hand, small and cute.

She originally planned to take it directly, but her gaze inadvertently swept over the herb garden, and Ye Yueyue had a flash of inspiration. She excitedly walked forward and planted the firefly.

It was planted separately in a corner of the herb garden, with no other spiritual plants around it, to ensure that no other plants would compete for nutrients.

After the transplant, Ye Yueyue immediately went into seclusion in her spatial realm to cultivate.

Since it's not safe outside anyway, it's better to improve yourself than to go out and take risks.

Although it's uncertain whether the mad dog from the Rakshasa Palace is still there, what if it is?

If you happen to run into that person, what difference is there between that and giving them a ride?

There is no justice here; the strong rule. No one says anything when someone dies; at most, they'll just sigh.

As the saying goes, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery is futile!

She is no less capable than anyone else; she just hasn't cultivated for long enough.

If given enough opportunities to grow, Ye Yueyue believed that she would definitely be stronger than those cultivators and stronger than those men!

Instead of running away when faced with danger and ultimately relying on others to escape.

Previously, her desire to become stronger was merely for ascending back home. However, after the crisis at the Rakshasa Palace, an urgent desire to become stronger filled Ye Yueyue's mind.

She wanted to stand at the highest point in the world, so that everyone would look up to her!

The spiritual energy circulated and expanded through the meridians, and after one cycle, I felt noticeably comfortable. The spiritual energy inside the space was also much denser than outside.

Her practical experience in the Sunset Mountains during this period greatly improved her skills, further solidifying the drawback of her rapid cultivation and insufficient foundation.

In an environment brimming with spiritual energy, cultivation becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

"It would be even better if a handsome man were by her side right now..." Ye Yueyue thought to herself.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she came out of her cultivation. What came into view was a clear blue sky and a sunny day.

You can even smell the fragrance of fresh grass in your breath.

After cooking a meal, Ye Yueyue opened Lingjian and sent a message to Yu as usual to say hello, and then opened Li Xingye's chat box.

The other party responded instantly.

What happened to the big shot?

"Um, could you give me your senior brother's spirit tablet? I've been thinking these past few days that simply expressing my gratitude feels too inadequate."

Li Xingye was taken aback. [Sure, but I don't know if Senior Brother Xu Bai will agree.]

【Thanks】

And so, Ye Yueyue got Xu Bai's contact information, added him, and then didn't pay any more attention to him.

Stepping out of the space, she landed in a dark cave, pitch black without a ray of light. She deactivated the isolation array, pushed aside the withered grass and branches at the cave entrance, and walked out.

Surrounded by eighth and ninth-tier demonic beasts, Ye Yueyue gathered a few fodder and then cautiously made her way to the outer perimeter, keeping a watchful eye on everything around her.

It's been almost half a month, surely the Rakshasa Palace can't be that idle?

Holding onto a sliver of hope, and with her other hand holding a defensive magical artifact, Ye Yueyue walked out with a natural expression.

On a tree on the outskirts of the Sunset Mountains.

A man in black stared blankly ahead, his thoughts wandering, his gaze unfocused, and his expression somewhat dazed.

I am bored……

When can we leave?

The Dharma Protector is really something, making him squat here to guard a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Can't you hide it forever?

More than half a month has passed; that Foundation Establishment cultivator might have already left.

Is it necessary to have him guard this wretched place? It's not like he said that as long as he's still on this continent, he can't escape the pursuit of the Rakshasa Palace.

The man in black idly scrolled through the spirit scrolls, but he didn't completely forget his duty. Adhering to his few responsibilities, he didn't let his voice out.
