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

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye exchanged a glance, and the air crackled with a kind of electric current that seemed to be "stirring things up."

"Let's go take a look!" Ye Shuli smiled and took the lead in walking towards the beam of light shooting into the sky.

Fortune favors the bold; how can you call it time travel if you don't court death!

Jiang Ye followed closely behind, step by step, like a dutiful little wolfhound.

"Li'er, be careful, something feels off about this place." He activated his 360-degree surveillance mode, fearing that some monster might suddenly appear.

The closer you get to the ruins, the more eerie and sinister the surrounding environment becomes.

The fog rolled in wildly, as if it were free, and visibility plummeted.

The road beneath our feet had become bumpy and uneven, and we could easily twist our ankles if we weren't careful.

"Damn, this place has been in disrepair for years! Where's the developer? Come out and take your punishment!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but complain. This lousy road deserves a bad review!

Ye Shuli, on the other hand, was in high spirits, as if she had discovered a new continent.

It has built-in night vision and is completely unaffected by fog.

Even the ruins and crumbling walls of the ancient site seemed to tell a story to her.

The two cautiously stepped into the ruins.

The moment I stepped inside, the atmosphere changed drastically.

The dilapidated scene vanished instantly, replaced by an underground palace filled with an ancient atmosphere.

The palace was filled with various restrictions and mechanisms, and the air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Damn it, what kind of place is this?!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but swear.

Suddenly, flames erupted from the ground without warning, heading straight for the two of them.

"Watch out!" Ye Shuli reacted quickly, pulling Jiang Ye aside to avoid the attack of the flames.

Before they could catch their breath, countless spikes shot out from the wall, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

"Holy crap, is this for real?!" Jiang Ye was terrified. He frantically dodged, but his clothes were still torn in several places.

Ye Shuli was in no better shape; fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face was somewhat pale.

These traps and mechanisms are impossible to guard against; one wrong move and you're doomed.

Jiang Ye grabbed Ye Shuli's hand and held it tightly. "Li'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Ye Shuli grasped his hand in return, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a surge of warmth welled up in her heart.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

“This place is quite interesting…” She looked meaningfully into the depths of the palace, where a greater secret seemed to be hidden.

"What should we do next?" Jiang Ye asked.

Ye Shuli remained calm and composed, observing her surroundings and quickly devising a plan.

She leaped lightly, dodging one trap after another, yet still managed to notice the glittering treasures.

Each time they successfully cracked the code, a treasure would slowly appear from the void, radiating dazzling light, as if it were a reward tailor-made for them.

These treasures not only radiate a beautiful and mysterious light, but also exude a powerful energy.

"Look, this is a spirit stone!" Jiang Ye excitedly picked up a stone that emitted a pale blue light, his face beaming with a smile.

Ye Shuli also picked up several golden talismans from the ground, gently stroking them and feeling their warmth and power.

As each mechanism was solved, the surrounding restrictions gradually weakened, as if silently acknowledging their wisdom and courage.

"Li'er, could this be the legendary treasure of the spirit world?" Jiang Ye's tone was filled with excitement, but suddenly his voice stopped and his gaze became serious.

Ye Shuli followed his gaze and saw several white shadows drifting in from the darkness. The ghostly guardian spirits appeared silently in front of them.

The appearance of these spirit creatures was completely unexpected, and their attack speed was extremely fast. Almost the instant they appeared, they launched a fierce attack on Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye reacted quickly, using his spiritual power to build a barrier to block the attack from the spirit creature.

In an instant, the air was filled with fluctuations of spiritual energy, and the surrounding walls shook as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Ye Shuli dodged the attacks of the spirit creatures, quickly searching for their weaknesses.

The spirits appeared and disappeared like phantoms, catching everyone off guard with each attack.

Ye Shuli frowned, realizing that conventional attacks seemed ineffective against these spiritual creatures.

At the same time, her

"Jiang Ye, step back, I have a plan!" Ye Shuli's voice was firm and confident. Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately stepped back behind her, held her hand tightly, and looked at her with eyes full of trust.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, preparing to implement her plan, when suddenly, an attack from a spiritual creature aimed straight at her chest. She swiftly dodged, but at the last moment...

"Hehe, do you really think you can defeat me like this?" Ye Shuli chuckled, and a short sword gleaming with cold light suddenly appeared in her hand. She decisively met the spiritual object, her movements swift and precise.

Okay, I understand your request. Here is the continuation:

Ye Shuli's eyes darted around, and a plan came to her mind.

She's not the kind of naive girl who only knows how to confront things head-on; she needs to use unconventional methods to deal with these ethereal things!

She took out a few trinkets from the spirit world that she had previously stolen and tossed them out like frisbees.

"Here you go, my darlings!"

Strangely enough, those spirit creatures that were originally baring their fangs and claws stopped attacking instantly as soon as they saw these glittering little things, as if a pause button had been pressed.

They floated over one by one, circling around the treasures, their eyes glowing green, just like a group of cats that had seen catnip.

"What?! This is possible?" Jiang Ye was dumbfounded, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

His Li'er is truly a talented person!

"Hehe, little brat, trying to mess with me?" Ye Shuli raised her eyebrows smugly, with an expression that said, "Everything is under control."

While the spirits were having a great time "cuddling" the cat, the two quickly made their escape.

However, Jiang Ye still got injured during the escape.

In order to protect Ye Shuli, he was cut on the arm by the spirit creature, and blood flowed freely.

"Hiss..." Jiang Ye winced in pain, but he still managed to keep quiet.

"Jiang Ye, you're injured!" Ye Shuli, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed his wound.

She was heartbroken and quickly took out the wound medicine she always carried with her, carefully applying it to him.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Jiang Ye smiled, trying to sound relaxed, not wanting her to worry.

Ye Shuli wasn't buying it. With a stern face, she bandaged him while nagging, "You say you're fine? You're bleeding! Don't be so stubborn next time, understand?"

"Yes, my lady Li'er!" Jiang Ye obediently admitted defeat, looking blissfully henpecked.

Ye Shuli gently blew on his wound, and the tender touch made Jiang Ye's heart tremble, and a warm current flowed through his body.

He stared at Ye Shuli intently, as if everything around him had disappeared, leaving only her face that haunted his dreams.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

"Li'er..." Jiang Ye's voice was low and hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Just then, they suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently, as if something was about to burst forth from the earth.

"What's going on now?" Jiang Ye suddenly stood up, looking wary.

Ye Shuli's eyes suddenly brightened. She stared intently ahead and said, word by word, "Interesting. It seems... we've found the real culprit." The two held their breath and cautiously approached the source of the tremor.

As they parted the layers of mist, a massive spirit rune appeared before them.

The rune, like a giant eye, was embedded in the stone wall, emitting an eerie light that seemed to pierce through everything.

"Holy crap, this thing is kind of creepy!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but complain. These runes looked too bizarre!

Ye Shuli ignored his complaints and focused intently on the runes, trying to decipher their mysteries.

She sensed that this rune contained extremely powerful energy, and if she could master it, it would definitely greatly increase her strength.

"Li'er, can you understand this thing?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

Ye Shuli shook her head. "The structure of this rune is extremely complex. I can only barely make out some clues."

She closed her eyes, concentrated, and mobilized all the knowledge she had learned.

Modern knowledge and ancient metaphysics collided and merged in her mind, producing a wonderful chemical reaction.

Jiang Ye didn't dare to disturb her and could only silently protect her from the side.

He knew that at this moment, all he could do was trust her and support her.

Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on Ye Shuli's forehead.

She felt as if her brain was about to explode, with countless pieces of information flooding into her consciousness.

"Ah..." she couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her face turning deathly pale.

"Li'er, are you alright?" Jiang Ye was startled and quickly helped her up.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with excitement and agitation.

"I did it! I deciphered part of the rune's information!"

"Really? That's wonderful!" Jiang Ye hugged her excitedly, wishing he could jump three feet on the spot.

"According to the information from the runes, a huge secret is hidden deep within the ruins." Ye Shuli's tone became solemn, and the surrounding air seemed to become oppressive because of this discovery.

"What secret?" Jiang Ye asked impatiently.

Ye Shuli shook her head. "I don't know either. The runes only revealed part of the information. To find out the truth, we must go deep into the ruins and investigate."

Just as they were about to continue, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the depths of the ruins.

That force, like a violent storm, swept in, making people's hearts tremble.

"What...what is this?" Jiang Ye's expression changed drastically, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Ye Shuli's gaze also became extremely solemn.

She knew that the real challenge was just beginning.

"Be careful..." Before she could finish speaking, she felt a powerful force crashing down on them.

"boom!"

The two of them were sent flying like kites with broken strings.

Before she completely lost consciousness, Ye Shuli only heard a cold voice echoing in her ears...

"Those who trespass into forbidden areas will die!"
