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

Thick, dark clouds rolled and churned, like a pot of burnt ink spilled across the sky, filling the air with a suffocating oppression.

When Ye Shuli woke up from her coma, she felt sore all over, as if she had been run over by a truck.

She struggled to sit up, and the scene before her eyes set off alarm bells in her heart—the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuated violently like boiling water, and the entrance to the Spirit King realm was flashing with an eerie red light, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey.

"What the hell is going on?" Ye Shuli couldn't help but complain, a strong sense of unease rising in her heart.

Upon seeing this, the young master of the Gu family immediately spoke up sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this our 'genius' Ye Shuli? What, you've already given up before even breaking through to the Spirit King realm? I think you're not even qualified to step into the Spirit King realm. You should go home and embroider as soon as possible!"

Ye Shuli glared at him fiercely, her heart burning with anger.

embroidered?

In my past life, I was a top-notch scientific researcher. Even if I've transmigrated in this life, it's none of your business to tell me what to do!

"Shut up!" Jiang Ye blocked Ye Shuli's path, baring his teeth at the young master of the Gu family like a wolf cub guarding its food. "Lili will definitely break through, so stop your nonsense, you sauerkraut fish!"

"Pickled cabbage fish?" Ye Shuli chuckled. Jiang Ye's skill at insulting people was becoming more and more refined.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her frustration, and gave Jiang Ye a grateful look: "Don't worry, I won't be defeated by this little setback."

She began to carefully observe the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her and discovered that these unusual fluctuations seemed to be related to some ancient restriction of an ancient family.

Having a guess in mind, Ye Shuli immediately sought out the head of the Gu family, hoping he could provide assistance.

However, the clan patriarch looked troubled: "Miss Ye, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just... as you know, those old fogies in the clan value this restriction more than their own lives, I really..."

Looking at the flickering eyes of the Gu family patriarch, Ye Shuli felt a chill in her heart.

She knew that this was not only due to the obstruction of conservative forces, but also the hesitation and fear of the Gu family patriarch himself.

The air around seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

"It seems I can only rely on myself..." Ye Shuli murmured to herself. She turned and left, leaving behind a meaningful sentence: "Some secrets are bound to be revealed in the end..." Ye Shuli ignored the commotion caused by the young master of the Gu family and walked straight towards the core area of ​​the restriction.

It was an ancient altar, inscribed with intricate runes, exuding a chilling aura.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and slowly channeled her spiritual power into the altar.

The runes on the altar seemed to come alive, shimmering with dazzling light.

Ye Shuli's brain was working at lightning speed, combining modern scientific knowledge with the cultivation system to analyze the operating rules of the restriction.

"This restriction actually uses the energy of spiritual objects to maintain the stability of the Spirit King realm..." Ye Shuli murmured to herself, a hint of realization flashing in her eyes, "No wonder the Spirit King rules are fluctuating abnormally, there must be something wrong with the spiritual objects!"

She shared her discovery with the clan patriarch and proposed a bold solution: "We can replace the existing spiritual object with another spiritual object and reconstruct the restriction, thus stabilizing the rules of the Spirit King realm!"

The Gu family patriarch, who had been looking worried, suddenly brightened up after hearing Ye Shuli's words.

"Miss Ye is indeed exceptionally intelligent!" he exclaimed. "This method might really work!"

The conservative forces that originally opposed Ye Shuli also began to waver, after all, no one wanted to see the Spirit King realm collapse.

When the young master of the Gu family saw this scene, he was so angry that his face turned ashen and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Damn Ye Shuli, she actually stole the spotlight!" he muttered through gritted teeth, his heart filled with jealousy and resentment.

However, the process of overcoming the ban was not smooth.

When Ye Shuli tried to replace the spirit object, a powerful force rebounded and blasted her away.

She fell heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her face turning pale.

"Lili!" Jiang Ye rushed to her side anxiously upon seeing this, helping her up. "Are you alright?"

Ye Shuli shook her head, enduring the pain as she said, "I'm fine, it's just... the power of this restriction is stronger than I imagined."

The air around them grew heavy again, and a suffocating atmosphere enveloped everyone.

Just when everyone thought Ye Shuli needed to rest and recuperate, she slowly stood up, her gaze fixed firmly on the altar, a confident smile playing on her lips, "Again!"

Ye Shuli wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stubbornly stood up again, her body swaying slightly, but her eyes were more determined than ever before.

The pressure emanating from the altar was like Mount Tai pressing down, but she remained as steadfast as a pine tree rooted in a precipice.

"Again!" The resounding words echoed in the air, carrying an indomitable spirit.

Everyone was astonished; was this woman made of iron?

The clan patriarch was even more shocked by her ruthlessness; in all his years, he had never seen such a tenacious woman.

This is no delicate, pampered flower of wealth and luxury; it is clearly a thorny rose, beautiful yet dangerous!

"Good! Miss Ye, I admire your courage! From now on, you are free to allocate all the family's resources!" The Gu family patriarch slapped his thigh and announced boldly.

He refused to believe that the combined strength of the entire clan couldn't break a simple restriction!

The young master of the Gu family stood to the side, his face ashen, looking as if he had swallowed a fly.

Why is Ye Shuli so difficult to deal with?

He originally wanted to see her make a fool of herself, but unexpectedly, she gained merit in front of the clan leader instead!

He clenched his fist so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

With the support of the Gu family patriarch, Ye Shuli was even more powerful.

The ancient family's library was a treasure trove, containing countless lost secret techniques and formations.

With her modern scientific knowledge, Ye Shuli quickly found a way to alleviate the backlash from the power.

It turns out that the backlash from this altar is governed by a pattern; by injecting spiritual power of a specific attribute at specific times, the backlash can be minimized.

Under Ye Shuli's guidance, everyone worked together and reactivated the altar.

This time, Ye Shuli was not blasted away, but stood steadily in the center of the altar, guiding the flow of spiritual energy.

As time went by, her injuries gradually healed, and her complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.

The people around Ye Shuli looked at her with admiration. This woman was not only powerful, but also so smart. She was simply a miracle!

Meanwhile, the young master of the Gu family was driven mad with jealousy. He felt like a clown, as all his schemes were easily thwarted by Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli felt the spiritual power within her body surge like a rushing river, and she was only one step away from breaking through to the Spirit King realm.

She took a deep breath, preparing for the final challenge.

Suddenly, Jiang Ye's voice came from afar: "Lili, I've stayed up..."

Jiang Ye came running over, panting, carrying a steaming clay pot. "Lili, I've made... Oh my god, what are you guys doing? This is the eye of a spiritual energy storm!" He carefully avoided the chaotic spiritual energy around him and placed the clay pot in front of Ye Shuli. "Drink it while it's hot. I added more than ten kinds of spiritual herbs. I guarantee you'll be fully revived!"

Ye Shuli looked at the dark, unappetizing medicine in front of her and couldn't help but twitch her lips. Was this color some kind of culinary disaster?

But she still obediently took it and drank it all in one go.

A warm current instantly flowed through my body, sweeping away my fatigue and restoring much of my spiritual energy.

She looked up at Jiang Ye, who was staring at her anxiously, like a large dog worried about its owner getting hurt, his concern almost overflowing.

"Thanks, Er Gouzi." Ye Shuli gave him a bright smile, feeling warm inside.

"Tsk, calling me Er Gouzi again!" Jiang Ye pretended to be angry and pouted, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He ruffled Ye Shuli's hair and said in a roguish way, "I'll forgive you because you've worked so hard."

The atmosphere between the two was warm and relaxed, as if the tension and oppression around them had disappeared.

The Gu family patriarch watched from the side and nodded in approval. These two were a match made in heaven. One was intelligent and resilient, and the other was funny and righteous. They were a perfect match!

Even the most stubborn old folks couldn't help but smile.

Ye Shuli closed her eyes, feeling the abundant power within her body. She slowly stood up, her spiritual energy swirling around her like a volcano about to erupt.

She looked at the altar again, her gaze firm and sharp.

"Here it comes!" she whispered, preparing to face the final challenge.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The light on the altar suddenly dimmed, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy became chaotic.

Ye Shuli was startled. She quickly checked the altar and found that the spirit stone, which was originally placed in the center of the altar and was the key to stabilizing the spiritual energy, had disappeared!

She turned around abruptly, her gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on the young master of the Gu family.

He was hiding behind the crowd, a strange smile on his face.

"Young Master Gu, what do you mean by this?" Ye Shuli's voice carried a hint of anger, scraping against everyone's eardrums like ice shards.

The young master of the Gu family grinned sinisterly, spreading his hands as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, "I don't know what you're talking about, Miss Ye, don't make false accusations..."

Ye Shuli looked at him, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, her anger rising rapidly. She coldly uttered a few words: "You're asking for death!"
