A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Ye Shuli looked up at the sky, her eyes flashing with an unusual light.

"Let's go." Her tone was firm and left no room for argument.

Despite his many doubts, Jiang Ye followed without hesitation.

The mysterious force guided them to a secluded valley.

The entrance to the valley is hidden by dense vines and can be easily missed if you don't look carefully.

Pushing aside the vines, an ancient stone gate suddenly appeared before us, carved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind adding to the unsettling atmosphere.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, her heart filled with vigilance. She knew that this seemingly peaceful ruin concealed countless unknown dangers.

As soon as you step into the ruins, a chilling aura hits you, a stark contrast to the warm sunlight outside.

The surrounding light was dim, and some ancient buildings and ruins could be vaguely seen, telling the story of the place's former glory.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps ahead broke the tranquility of the ruins.

"Who goes there?!" a clear female voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, several figures emerged from the darkness, led by a young woman dressed in a light blue dress, who was none other than Xiao Die, the eldest disciple of Sect Leader Liu.

Several disciples followed behind her, each looking vigilant and holding weapons.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Ye? What brings you here?" Xiao Die's tone was tinged with sarcasm.

Ye Shuli gave her a cold look. "What, do you own this ruin?" "Hmph, this ruin was discovered by our Sect Leader Liu first. All irrelevant people, get out of here!" Xiaodie said without any politeness.

"Sect Leader Liu?" Ye Shuli's lips curled into a cold smile. "Who does he think he is?" "You!" Xiao Die was instantly enraged and was about to lash out when Ye Shuli interrupted her. "I advise you to be sensible and not block my way."

"How dare you! You dare to disrespect our Sect Leader Liu!" a disciple behind Xiaodie shouted angrily.

"What, you want to make a move?" Jiang Ye stepped forward, blocking Ye Shuli's path. The two were on the verge of exchanging blows, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

"Ye Shuli, I advise you to leave obediently to avoid suffering losses," Xiaodie sneered.

"Heh," Ye Shuli said calmly, taking out an ancient scroll from her storage bag. "I'd like to see who dares to stop me today."

Ye Shuli remained calm and took out a yellowed scroll from her storage bag. The scroll exuded an ancient aura and was clearly not an ordinary item.

"As far as I know, this ruin does not belong to Sect Leader Liu." Ye Shuli slowly unrolled the scroll, which was densely covered with strange characters.

"These are ancient documents that record the history of this continent, including the origin of this site."

Xiaodie and her disciples looked at each other in disbelief. They had never seen anything like this before and were completely dumbfounded.

Ye Shuli pointed to the text on the scroll, "It's written very clearly here that this ruin is unclaimed land. Whoever gets there first gets it. What, does Sect Leader Liu intend to seize it by force?" Ye Shuli raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp as a knife, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Xiaodie stammered, unable to speak.

“This…” She looked to her disciples for help, but they all looked bewildered.

When the news reached Master Liu's ears, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, the ancient documents are there, and there is no room for doubt.

Jiang Ye watched Ye Shuli from the side, his eyes full of admiration. This woman is truly extraordinary!

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "666, Lili, your move was absolutely amazing!"

"Basic stuff, don't be silly." Ye Shuli smiled faintly and put away the scroll.

The two continued deeper into the ruins, where the air grew increasingly cold and the ancient buildings became more and more densely packed.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from ahead, and the ground trembled.

"Roar--"

A colossal red-haired beast appeared before them, its body covered in red fur, its eyes the size of copper bells, gleaming with a fierce light.

The red-haired behemoth launched an attack as soon as it saw Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

With a swipe of its enormous claws, it stirred up a gust of wind, uprooting the surrounding trees.

"Holy crap, what is that thing?!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, quickly pulling Ye Shuli to avoid it.

The red-haired behemoth's attack speed was extremely fast, and its strength was astonishing.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye could only keep dodging, not daring to take the blows head-on.

"This thing is a bit tricky..." Jiang Ye complained while dodging, "Lili, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

Ye Shuli frowned as she observed the red-haired behemoth's attack patterns.

Just as the giant beast pounced again, Ye Shuli suddenly shouted, "Jiang Ye, to the left!"

Jiang Ye dodged to the left without hesitation, narrowly avoiding the giant beast's attack.

The giant beast missed its target and crashed heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

"A golden opportunity!" A glint of light flashed in Ye Shuli's eyes. "Jiang Ye..."

"Jiang Ye, get out of here! It's about to unleash a powerful attack!" Before Ye Shuli could finish speaking, the red-haired behemoth roared to the sky, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from its body, distorting the surrounding air.

"Lili, when you say 'get out of here,' do you mean running away is the best option?" Jiang Ye teased as he dodged the flying pebbles.

"Nonsense! The best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to flee, haven't you heard of that?!" Ye Shuli rolled her eyes, while keeping an eye on the giant beast's movements.

"Lili, don't you think this thing looks a bit like an Angry Bird?" Jiang Ye dodged the attack while making a sarcastic remark. "It's just waiting to launch!"

"Shut up! Think of a way, this guy is about to unleash his ultimate move!" Ye Shuli interrupted him impatiently. What kind of time is this to be joking around!

"I've got it! Lili, look at its eyes!" Jiang Ye pointed to the red-haired behemoth's eyes. "Its eyes don't seem to be working very well!"

"Nonsense, someone this big can't possibly have eyes as sharp as us!" Ye Shuli retorted, but Jiang Ye's words did remind her of the importance of eyesight!

Perhaps it's a weakness?

"Use a feint to the east while attacking the west. Go and distract it!" Ye Shuli ordered decisively.

"Roger that!" Jiang Ye flashed to the giant beast's side. "Hey, big guy, what are you looking at? What's it to you if I look at you!"

As expected, the giant beast's attention was drawn to Jiang Ye, and it abandoned its efforts to charge up its power, instead attacking Jiang Ye.

"Jiang Ye, be careful!" Ye Shuli warned, while gathering spiritual energy in her hand and aiming at the giant beast's eyes.

"Lili, you just focus on dealing damage, I'll take care of pulling the monsters!" Jiang Ye cheered Ye Shuli on while dodging the giant beast's attacks.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Shuli transformed her spiritual power into a sharp sword, aiming directly at the giant beast's eyes.

"Awooo—" The giant beast let out a painful howl, and blood gushed from its eyes.

"Lili, beautiful!" Jiang Ye exclaimed excitedly.

The beast became even more ferocious after being injured, and its attacks became even more intense, but Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye did not back down.

They worked together: Jiang Ye drew the giant beast's attention, while Ye Shuli seized the opportunity to attack its weaknesses.

Finally, with their perfect teamwork, the red-haired behemoth crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The other forces hidden nearby were stunned by what they saw; these two had actually repelled the red-haired behemoth!

This is awesome!

In no time, Jiang Ye and Ye Shuli's reputation spread throughout the ruins.

After the battle, Jiang Ye and Ye Shuli nestled together, the joy of surviving the ordeal spreading between them.

Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli with eyes full of love and admiration, "Lili, you're amazing!"

Ye Shuli also looked at Jiang Ye affectionately, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, "You're not bad either."

"Lili..." Jiang Ye called softly, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Ok?"

"I……"

"Lili, I..." Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli with deep affection, about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Ye Shuli! If you follow him, you'll only be in danger forever!" Young Master Su suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pointing angrily at Jiang Ye.

"Young Master Su? What are you up to?" Jiang Ye was completely bewildered. What was this guy thinking now?

They were nowhere to be seen when we were fighting monsters, so why are they suddenly appearing as protectors of women?

"Jiang Ye! You're incapable of protecting her!" Young Master Su glared at Jiang Ye, his tone filled with disdain. "Look, she was almost injured just now!"

"What the heck? Which eye of yours saw her almost get hurt? If I hadn't been pulling the monsters, would she have been able to deal damage so easily?" Jiang Ye protested, finding Su Gongzi's twisted logic too convincing!

"Even so, you can't guarantee she'll be safe every time!" Young Master Su persisted, "You're simply not good enough for her!"

"Whether I'm good enough for her or not is none of your business!" Jiang Ye was furious. This young master Su really knew how to rub salt in the wound!

"You..." Young Master Su was speechless for a moment, his face turning ashen with anger.

The two were on the verge of fighting when Ye Shuli suddenly spoke up: "Alright, stop arguing!" She glanced at them coldly, "Now is not the time to argue."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A deafening roar followed, and the ground began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light shot out from not far away, soaring straight into the sky.

"What is that?" Jiang Ye and Young Master Su exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh no! It's the entrance to the treasure chamber!" Ye Shuli's expression changed. She finally understood what Sect Leader Liu was planning.

This guy actually managed to sneak up on them and find the entrance to the treasure chamber!

"Quick! Let's go!" Ye Shuli made a decisive decision and took the lead in running towards the direction of the golden light.

Jiang Ye and Young Master Su also realized what was happening and quickly followed.

At the same time, Xiaodie and Zhao the Assassin also moved quickly towards the direction of the golden light.

"Hmph, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" Sect Leader Liu stood at the entrance of the secret chamber, a sinister smile on his face. "You little minions think you can fight me?"

He waved his hand, and a huge array suddenly appeared at the entrance to the secret chamber, flashing with an eerie light.

"Oh no! It's a trap!" Ye Shuli's expression changed, and she immediately stopped in her tracks.

"Haha, you only just realized it now? It's too late!" Sect Leader Liu laughed triumphantly. "Get in, all of you!"

The array shone brightly, and a powerful suction force pulled Ye Shuli, Jiang Ye, Young Master Su, Xiao Die, and Assassin Zhao into it.

"Sect Leader Liu, you..." Jiang Ye only managed to utter one word before being sucked into the secret chamber.

The entrance to the secret chamber slowly closed, and the golden light disappeared.

The surroundings returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, no one knows what kind of danger lurks within the secret room...

"Lili..." Jiang Ye's voice echoed in the darkness.
