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

Before Ye Shuli finished speaking, countless strange light patterns lit up around them, like a giant spider web, trapping them firmly within it.

The air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression, as if one were in the deep sea.

This is a trap meticulously set by the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance!

"Damn, are you serious?!" Jiang Ye cursed, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to get started.

His spiritual power surged wildly, attempting to break through this damned restriction.

However, when his spiritual power touched the light patterns, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, without stirring up the slightest ripple.

"Don't waste your energy," Ye Shuli's voice was tinged with seriousness. "This is a high-level restriction. With your current strength, it's impossible for you to break through it."

Jiang Ye was not giving up and tried several more times, but the result was the same.

His expression turned somewhat grim, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What are we going to do? Are we just going to wait here to die?"

Ye Shuli remained silent, her eyes fixed on the surrounding light patterns, a gleam of wisdom in them.

As a time traveler, she knew that the key to breaking through traps and mechanisms lay in finding the patterns that allowed them to operate.

She slowly closed her eyes, maximizing her perception to try and capture the subtle changes contained within the restriction.

Time ticked by, and the oppressive atmosphere around them grew stronger.

Ye Shuli felt as if her spiritual power was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making it extremely difficult to circulate.

More and more beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.

"Li'er, are you alright?" Jiang Ye asked anxiously from the side, hating himself for not being strong enough to help.

Ye Shuli shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

She gritted her teeth and desperately circulated the spiritual energy within her body, trying to find a flaw in the restriction.

She knew that this was a critical moment of life and death, and she absolutely could not give up!

"Go for it, Li'er! You're the best!" Jiang Ye shouted encouragement to her from the side, hoping to give her some strength.

However, no matter how hard they tried, the power of the restriction continued to grow.

A sense of despair began to spread in their hearts.

Are they really going to be trapped here and die?

Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly sensed a strange energy fluctuation, an energy full of liveliness and playfulness...

Just when they were feeling desperate, a silvery laugh suddenly rang out in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a small sprite, about the size of a palm and radiating a bright green light, appeared before them.

It flapped its transparent wings, curiously observing Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

"Wow! Where did this cutie come from?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but exclaim, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

Ye Shuli, however, dared not let her guard down.

She could sense that this little elf contained powerful energy and was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The little sprite tilted its head and said in a clear voice, "My name is Emerald, and I am the guardian sprite of this forbidden area. You two idiots dared to trespass into my territory and get trapped. How hilarious!"

Ye Shuli's heart sank. She thought to herself, "This is it, is this little elf here to kick me when I'm down?"

Just as she was preparing for a desperate fight, she heard Green Jewel chuckle and say, "But considering how pitiful you are, I can consider helping you out."

"What? Help us?" Jiang Ye could hardly believe his ears. This plot twist was too fast!

Green Treasure proudly raised its little head and said, "This restriction is powerful, but to me it's like children playing house. I can take it down anytime I want!"

As it spoke, it stretched out its little hand and gently touched the surrounding light patterns.

Instantly, those originally indestructible light patterns began to tremble violently, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Ye Shuli was overjoyed.

She knew her chance had come!

She immediately focused her mind and cooperated with Green Treasure's actions, beginning to search for weaknesses in the restriction.

With the help of Green Treasure, Ye Shuli quickly found the key to the restriction.

Without hesitation, she poured the inherited power within her body into it.

"It's now!"

With a crisp "crack", a crack appeared on the light pattern.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks widened rapidly, eventually leading to a complete collapse.

"YES! It worked!" Jiang Ye jumped up excitedly, hugged Ye Shuli, and spun her around several times.

He admired Ye Shuli's abilities to the point of worship; she was practically his goddess!

Ye Shuli also showed a long-lost smile.

She patted Green Treasure's little head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Green Treasure. I'm so grateful for your help this time."

Emerald patted its chest proudly and said, "You're welcome, this elf is very powerful! But you should be careful, the owner of this restriction is not someone to be trifled with."

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing." Ye Shuli nodded.

Jiang Ye also stopped smiling and clenched his fist.

"Next, we'll show those guys that we're not easy to bully!"

Suddenly, Green Treasure's expression changed. She looked in one direction and exclaimed, "Oh no, he's here! You guys get out of here!"

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye exchanged a glance. Before they could react, a cold voice rang out in the air: "Trying to leave? Not so easy!" Okay, the following is a continuation of the story, containing only the [event] and ending with a suspenseful dialogue or action:

"boom--"

The moment the light patterns exploded, an overwhelming pressure swept in, as if to crush the entire space.

The sinister and vicious face of the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance appeared in mid-air, surrounded by black mist, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"You little brats, how dare you ruin my plans!" He gritted his teeth, each word sounding as if it had been pulled from an ice hole, chilling one to the bone.

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike. Black spiritual energy, like a flood bursting its banks, accompanied by the wailing of ghosts and wolves, poured down on Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

"Watch out!" Ye Shuli's pupils shrank suddenly, and without thinking, she pushed Jiang Ye away.

"boom!"

Although Jiang Ye dodged the frontal attack, he was still hit by the aftershock. He flew out like a kite with a broken string and crashed hard into a boulder, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli cried out in anguish, her eyes instantly turning red.

She stared intently at the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance in mid-air, her eyes blazing with fury, as if she were about to devour him alive at any moment.

"If you dare hurt him, I'll kill you!"

Ye Shuli's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, every word carrying intense killing intent.

The power of her inheritance erupted like a volcanic eruption, and her body shone with golden light, making her look like a female war goddess.

"What...what the hell is this?" The leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance was startled by this sudden change. He could feel that this power actually made him feel a sense of threat.

Ye Shuli did not answer; she formed a hand seal and chanted incantations.

Golden light gathered in her hand, condensing into a longsword that shone with seven-colored light.

"go with!"

Ye Shuli let out a delicate shout, and her long sword flew out of her hand, transforming into a streak of light that headed straight for the leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance.

"Humph, what a small trick!"

Although the leader of the Spirit Realm Strong Alliance was shocked, he was, after all, a peak Spirit King, and he did not believe that he would lose to a mere young girl.

He waved his hands, and a black barrier appeared in front of him, attempting to block the fatal blow.

"Click——"

However, to his surprise, the seemingly ordinary longsword easily pierced through his defenses and plunged into his chest.

"puff--"

The leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

"This...this is impossible!"

He clutched his chest, his eyes wide, his face filled with disbelief.

He's a peak Spirit King, how could he possibly lose to an unknown little girl?

Ignoring his shock, Ye Shuli rushed to Jiang Ye's side, helped him up, and asked in a trembling voice, "How...how are you?" Ye Shuli staggered to Jiang Ye's side, helped him up, and anxiously checked his injuries.

Her slender fingers trembled as she brushed the blood from the corner of his mouth, her heart aching as if it were being stabbed.

"Jiang Ye, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Ye Shuli's voice was tinged with tears. The usually sharp-tongued queen was now as vulnerable as a child.

Jiang Ye endured the pain, grinned, revealing a set of small white teeth, and comforted her, "It's okay, Li'er, it's just a small injury, you won't die. That move you just made was so cool, so awesome, you're practically my idol!" He didn't forget to make a couple of witty remarks, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Ye Shuli glared at him fiercely, her eyes reddening even more. "What kind of time is this to be so cheeky! If it weren't for saving you, why would I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ye hugged her tightly. "Li'er, I know you did all this for me. Thank you, I'm fine, really."

The two embraced tightly, their body heat providing warmth and strength in the dangerous environment.

At that moment, they forgot the danger, forgot the hatred; only each other mattered.

However, the brief moment of warmth did not last long.

Although the surrounding light patterns had disappeared, an unsettling atmosphere still lingered in the air.

"Li'er, look!" Jiang Ye suddenly pointed to the depths of the trap, where a dark opening appeared, as if leading to another world.

The restrictive forces surrounding the cave entrance grew stronger, as if something terrifying was about to burst forth from the earth.

"It seems this trap is far more complex than we imagined." Ye Shuli narrowed her eyes.

Jiang Ye clenched his fist. "Li'er, let's go in and take a look. Maybe we'll find something unexpected."

Ye Shuli nodded, and the two exchanged a glance.

They cautiously approached the cave entrance, step by step heading towards the unknown abyss...

"Wait!" Ye Shuli suddenly stopped and her gaze fell on a stone tablet next to the cave entrance.

The stone tablet was inscribed with several ancient characters and emitted an eerie light.

"What is this?" Jiang Ye leaned closer and asked curiously.

Ye Shuli carefully examined the characters, her expression gradually becoming serious.

“Ancient…inheritance…” She read the words on the stone tablet slowly and deliberately, her voice trembling slightly, “This place actually hides the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse!”

Before the words were finished, the stone tablet suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful suction force pulled Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye inside...
