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

The ice crystal rose refracted prismatic light spots in the vacuum, and the spiritual energy threads wrapped around Ye Shuli's fingertips suddenly straightened.

As she stumbled and fell into Jiang Ye's arms, the blood-stained tattered pages of the young man's marriage contract turned into stardust and merged into the seal on her collarbone.

"The three-dimensional coordinate system has been folded." The moment Ye Shuli pushed Jiang Ye away, the chaotic clouds beneath their feet suddenly split open into an abyss.

She threw out three talismans that transformed into floating staircases, and the burning trajectories of the talismans even outlined ripples of Fourier transform.

Jiang Ye's wolf ears trembled in the quantum storm, and the boy's blood-stained fingertips poked at the floating Klein bottle: "There's a spiritual resonance coming from over there at the negotiating table—listen, doesn't it sound like the noise you made when you blew up the lab last week?"

Before the words were even finished, the suspended staircase suddenly twisted into a Möbius strip.

As Ye Shuli pulled Jiang Ye into the void, she glimpsed the bronze chains floating in the abyss, which were intertwined in the pattern of the Fibonacci sequence.

“37 degrees southeast, Roche limit.” She suddenly pushed Jiang Ye in the opposite direction, and rode on the crest of the Dirac Sea towards the intersection of the chains.

The moment the quantum cloud exploded behind her, the spiritual power emanating from the girl's fingertips condensed into a Riemann z-function graph.

The hourglass of spiritual energy floating above the negotiating table suddenly exploded into sparks.

"A message from Fellow Daoist Ye!" The Coordinator of Interests suddenly stood up, and the Tai Chi diagram in his hand reassembled the shattered hourglass.

In the holographic projection suspended in the center of the round table, Ye Shuli's figure is standing on the curved edge of the Klein bottle.

"Look, everyone—" The girl's blood-stained sleeve swept across the void, and the three-dimensional star map suddenly unfolded into a hypercube. "Distributing the mystic crystal veins of the spirit realm and the spiritual springs of the continent according to Cantor sets, and then nesting them using the Sierpinski algorithm..."

The teacup in the spirit realm representative's hand suddenly frosted over: "How do you know about my clan's secret Layered Peak Technique?"

"When we unpacked the apology gift you sent last week, we discovered a loophole in the Hausdorff dimension in the array pattern arrangement." Ye Shuli's illusory figure suddenly approached the camera; the seal on her collarbone was analyzing star map data. "If we use fractal geometry to reconstruct the spiritual veins, the total benefits can be increased by 2.7 times—provided that the Xuantian Sword Sect relinquishes its exclusive rights to the Southern Underworld Trench."

The Sword Sect elder's sword energy shattered the jade table in front of him: "How dare a mere brat..."

"Elder, your sword intent has been stuck at the peak of the Spirit King realm for thirty-seven years, hasn't it?" Ye Shuli suddenly pulled up a spectrum of spiritual energy fluctuations. "Do you experience a sharp, man-like pain in your Tanzhong acupoint every time you circulate your energy?"

The entire negotiation room suddenly fell into dead silence, and the abacus beads in the hands of the master of spiritual energy balance made a crisp clinking sound.

Inside the mysterious space, Jiang Ye was squatting in the curved folds of the Klein bottle, studying the glowing stone.

As the boy's blood-soaked sleeve brushed against the stone surface, a sudden appearance of a topological pattern made his pupils contract: "Shu Li!"

The Lorentz transformation equations for our marriage contract are engraved on this!

Ye Shuli had just severed the seventh bronze chain when she heard this and was nearly blown away by the spatial turbulence: "You can get aroused just looking at a piece of diabase?"

“But it really is heating up.” Jiang Ye tossed the stone into the air, and its trajectory was perfectly synchronized with the spiritual energy fluctuations in the negotiation hall outside.

The stone suddenly cracked open, and the burst of starlight illuminated the hidden Morse code.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Shuli suddenly ripped open her collar.

The seal on her collarbone was absorbing the energy of the stone, and the stardust that had transformed from the tattered pages of the marriage contract was reforming into a scroll.

"It's a two-way Klein Bridge!" She slammed the scroll into the void, and threads of spiritual energy suddenly wove together four-dimensional coordinates. "Quickly use your chaotic spiritual root to resonate with the outside negotiation hall..."

Jiang Ye's wolf tail suddenly bristled, and the boy turned around and tackled Ye Shuli to the floating staircase.

Three bronze chains grazed their backs, and the instant they were impaled in the void, they formed a cage of non-Euclidean geometry.

"Now let's get down to business—" Ye Shuli's sharp tongue was caught in her throat by the blood from Jiang Ye's fingertip, the boy's star-studded eyelashes almost touching hers: "Your heart is racing again, do you need CPR?"

The holographic projection in the negotiation room suddenly shook violently.

The master of spiritual energy balance suddenly pointed at the distorted image and exclaimed, "They're breaking Klein's law of entropy increase!"

Ye Shuli's illusory figure was currently entangled by bronze chains, but the marriage contract scroll in her hand was continuously absorbing the spiritual energy data on the negotiating table.

The coordinator suddenly pressed the Tai Chi diagram onto the star chart: "The spiritual energy fluctuations of everyone are being converted into energy to break through space!"

"If you want Fellow Daoist Ye to bring back the *Nine Chapters of the Spiritual Pivot* alive—" Jiang Ye's smiling voice suddenly came from the void, "Would the Sword Sect elders mind giving up 3% of the trench's profits to the Merfolk?"

Blood-red patterns suddenly appeared on the contract that was floating above everyone's heads. Ye Shuli's Mo family mechanism, which she had planted beforehand, was transforming the negotiation terms into a mandatory contract.

When the spirit representative revised the terms for the seventh time, the entire space was suddenly filled with the crisp sound of shattering glass.

"Klein Bridge is about to collapse!" Jiang Ye grabbed Ye Shuli and rushed towards the passage opened up by the glowing stones, blood gushing out again from the wound on the boy's back that had not yet healed.

Before they fell into the distorted spacetime vortex, Ye Shuli suddenly threw the marriage contract scroll into the spiritual hourglass in the negotiation hall.

The hypercube in the passage was constantly rearranging its dimensions, and the stone in Jiang Ye's palm was continuously projecting the progress of the negotiations in the outside world.

When the thirteenth force pressed their handprints on the contract, Ye Shuli suddenly staggered and grabbed the wall of the passage for support.

"Is your spiritual energy overloaded?" Jiang Ye reached out to check her pulse, but the girl grabbed his wrist.

The intertwined spiritual energy threads of the two wove into a double helix structure in the passage, illuminating the faintly visible bronze inscriptions ahead.

Ye Shuli suddenly froze: "This is... the spiritual power model of the Hilbert Hotel Paradox?"

Suddenly, countless projections of Klein bottles appeared on the floor of the passage, and Jiang Ye's wolf ears detected subtle cracks in the spacetime structure.

The boy instinctively pushed Ye Shuli towards the relatively safe curved surface, but he himself was pulled towards the dimensional rift by the suddenly distorted gravitational field.

"Hold on tight!" As Ye Shuli's spiritual energy chains wrapped around Jiang Ye's waist, countless compound eye-shaped spacetime observation windows suddenly opened at the top of the passage.

Through an observation window engraved with a marriage contract emblem, the dark purple hem of the Nexus Guardian's robes could be faintly seen.

As Jiang Ye used the momentum to leap back to her side, the wolf's tail grazed a glowing Klein symbol.

The passage suddenly began to collapse, and a bottomless chasm cracked open in the ground beneath their feet, at the edge of the crack—

A bronze plate engraved with non-Euclidean geometric symbols suddenly became stuck in the crack, and the spiritual energy threads that Ye Shuli had just repaired suddenly emitted a sharp sound like a snapping string.

As Jiang Ye's boots brushed against the frost on the bronze plate, the boy turned to grab the floating stone, and a force beyond three-dimensional space suddenly pulled at his center of gravity.

The moment Jiang Ye staggered, Ye Shuli's spiritual energy chains suddenly contracted into taut strings.

The quantum ripples created when the boy fell backward swept across the passage wall, refracting countless overlapping Klein surfaces and cutting the intertwined figures of the two into fragmented spacetime projections.

"You did this on purpose?" Ye Shuli braced herself on the twisted Möbius strip with one hand, while the other hand gripped Jiang Ye's wrist.

The boy's upside-down wolf tail brushed past her ear, stirring up the unmelted stardust of the marriage contract within the seal.

Jiang Ye's canine teeth gleamed coldly in the quantum fluorescence: "If I said it was Klein curvature at work..." He was suddenly pulled in the opposite direction by Ye Shuli by the collar, and the two of them spun and fell into the suddenly appearing Hilbert space fragment.

The intersecting gravitational fields caused the ends of her hair to entwine into double twists, and the Riemann function graph pulsating at the girl's collarbone suddenly burned through three bronze chains.

"Don't move!" Ye Shuli pressed her knee against Jiang Ye's chest, a dagger formed from Cantor dust condensing from her fingertips. "You have Mandelbrot spores on the back of your neck..."

The sound of something cutting through the air grazed past Jiang Ye's exploded wolf ears, and the void where the dagger had been driven into suddenly cracked open with honeycomb-like spatial wormholes.

Tentacles with a cold, metallic sheen emerged from the borehole, each sucker shimmering with a different Fibonacci spiral.

"Klein Entropy Beasts!" The Spiritual Energy Balance Master's warning suddenly pierced the spatial barrier. "They're devouring the contract energy generated during negotiations..."

Ye Shuli's pupils suddenly contracted into Fourier ripple shapes as she grabbed Jiang Ye and rolled away to dodge the first wave of tentacle attacks.

The purple arcs of electricity unique to the Chaos Spiritual Root overflowed from their clasped palms, tracing the trajectory equation of Maxwell's Demon in the void.

"Three o'clock position, Klein singularity!" Jiang Ye suddenly flung Ye Shuli toward a relatively stable Minkowski surface, while he himself faced the oncoming entropy beast core.

Chaotic nebulae surged from the boy's torn sleeves, and the trajectory of his wolf tail became quantum entangled with the contract patterns in the negotiation hall.

Ye Shuli leaped up on the crest of the Dirac Sea, and the ice crystal rose in her hair suddenly bloomed into a hypercube: "Give me three seconds!" Threads of spiritual energy shot from her fingertips and pierced into twelve dimensional observation windows, each reflecting the astonished expressions of the leaders of different factions.

Suddenly, the Entropy Beast's compound eyes turned to the holographic projection, and Ye Shuli took the opportunity to slap the marriage contract scroll into its core Klein bottle structure.

Countless contractual clauses transformed into golden chains that strangled the tentacles of the Entropy Beast, while Jiang Ye's Chaotic Spiritual Root seized the opportunity to invade the Mandebo Collection in its Tanzhong Acupoint.

"Now!" Ye Shuli pulled on the spiritual energy threads, channeling the energy of the thirteen negotiation contracts into the Entropy Beast's body.

The stardust that Jiang Ye shook off from his wolf ears suddenly condensed into a diagram proving the Riemann Hypothesis. The moment it pierced the core, the entire space resounded with the crisp sound of ice shattering.

Half a bronze plate emerged from the fluorescent light of the exploding entropy beast, engraved with the spiritual solutions to Hilbert's Twenty-Three Questions using the Mohist mechanical techniques.

Just as Ye Shuli was about to touch it, Jiang Ye suddenly grabbed her waist and sent her flying backward—the spot where they had been standing was being swallowed up by Klein's collapse.

"Heartbeat." Jiang Ye's bloodied fingertip touched her carotid artery. "It's 18.7% faster than before."

Ye Shuli's sharp tongue was trapped in the dimensional storm stirred up by quantum ripples.

The intertwined threads of spiritual energy between the two suddenly wove themselves into the structure of a Klein bottle, drawing the falling bronze plate into it.

The moment the Klein Bridge, formed by the energy of the contract, was completed, a sharp spiritual resonance suddenly pierced through the spatial barrier.

“The contract is fluctuating abnormally!” Ye Shuli suddenly pushed Jiang Ye away. The seal on her collarbone was oozing the unique crimson gold patterns of the Mo Family’s Juzi Token.

The suspended bronze plate suddenly projected thirteen phantom images of contracts, three of which were violently vibrating.

Jiang Ye's wolf ears suddenly pressed against his scalp: "The sword energy of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect is tearing apart the contract patterns... Wait!"

The mermaid race's spiritual energy wavelength is somehow...

The spacetime channel suddenly began to increase in reverse entropy, and countless Klein surfaces were reassembled like shattered mirrors.

The information flow from the bronze tablet that Ye Shuli had just deciphered suddenly stopped, replaced by the blinding blood-red light of the hourglass of the contract turning upside down.

"Someone has tampered with the nested parameters of the spiritual veins." Ye Shuli's fingertips traced a fractal geometric model in the void, and the suddenly frozen spiritual energy spectrum made her pupils shrink sharply. "The balance reached three hours ago has been broken."

The nebula formed from Jiang Ye's chaotic spiritual root suddenly trembled violently, and blood flowers in the shape of Mandebo burst forth from the wound on the boy's back that had not yet healed.

He reached out to grab the floating bronze plate's afterimage, only to find that the non-Euclidean geometric symbols engraved on it were being reverse-analyzed by some force.

"Shuli!"

The contract is transforming into... "Jiang Ye's warning was interrupted by the sudden opening of the dimensional eye.

That dark purple pupil occupied the entire dome of the passage, and deep within it was reflected the cold smile of the Nexus Guardian.

Ye Shuli suddenly slammed the marriage contract scroll into her heart, and the gushing blood drew the ultimate killing array of the Mo family's mechanical arts in the void.

The moment the surge of spiritual energy from the contract's backlash collided with the killing array, the entire Klein Bridge suddenly collapsed due to the observer effect.

"Hold on tight!" The moment Jiang Ye's wolf tail wrapped around Ye Shuli's waist, the two were thrown into a sudden spacetime singularity.

Countless fragments of the contract grazed their sides like blades, tearing through the quantum clouds and creating a Betelgeuse-like flare.

As the last trace of the contract dissipated, Ye Shuli suddenly pressed down on the trembling collarbone seal.

Within the still unstable spacetime curvature, faint aftershocks of thirteen spiritual energy wavelengths violently clashing could be heard.

Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and was about to speak when Ye Shuli suddenly pulled him and slammed him into a distorted Minkowski surface.

The spiritual energy threads dancing on the girl's fingertips were frantically analyzing the residual information flow on the bronze plate, but suddenly froze at a certain key parameter—where the nesting coefficient of the Xuanjing ore vein should have been, but now the unique Po Jun sword qi emblem of the Sword Sect appeared.
