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

Before the quantum dust carried by the spacetime turbulence had settled, Ye Shuli's communication jade slip emitted twelve blood-red communication talismans.

She gripped the corner of the table, forged from Kunlun black iron, so tightly that her knuckles turned white and she even managed to crack the metal, which was forged from ancient divine weapons.

“Those old foxes have indeed betrayed us.” She tore off the blood-stained hairband and wrapped it around her trembling right wrist. As her dark, wide sleeves swept past the nine-turn gilded beast head in front of the negotiation hall, the mysterious crystal bell at her waist struck out with the unique killing sound of the Seven Killings Formation.

Jiang Ye caught the fragment of the contract falling from the dome, his wolf ears trembling from the spiritual energy fluctuations. "Madam, don't worry, look at the angle of refraction of this fragment—" He suddenly tossed the fragment into the air, and the icy blue demonic fire instantly melted it into a three-dimensional star map. "At least three representatives from the spirit world are secretly recording the contents of the negotiations."

The third wave of spiritual energy clashes was exploding inside the negotiation room.

Three weights were knocked off the Seven Treasures Glazed Scale of the Spiritual Power Balancing Master, and the phantom image on the scale pan symbolizing the Xuanjing ore vein was rapidly dissipating.

"Look, everyone!" Ye Shuli tossed out a fragment of the marriage contract scroll, and crimson runes condensed in mid-air to form a projection of the Mo Family's mechanical city. "If we nest a third-tier Xuanjing ore vein within the Spirit Realm's fusion zone, combined with my improved Nine Palaces Star Shifting Array—"

“Miss Ye is far too naive!” The Sword Sect elder’s Broken Army Sword Qi suddenly pierced through the projection. “The compensation mechanism you promised cannot even maintain the basic balance of spiritual energy!” The thirty-six natal swords behind him hummed simultaneously, forming the prototype of the Big Dipper Exorcising Array above the negotiating table.

Jiang Ye suddenly flipped onto the gilded table, his wolf tail entwining around three floating Six Harmony Lamps: "Elder, this sword formation looks familiar. The spiritual energy trajectory I observed on the Minkowski surface last night..." He flicked a fragment of bronze plate from his fingertip, and the wolf clan's unique moonlight power activated the hidden sword energy patterns on it.

The Sword Sect elder's pupils constricted sharply—those inherited secret patterns that should have belonged to the Sword Sect's forbidden area were now perfectly matched with the nesting coefficient of the Xuanjing ore vein on the bronze plate.

"It seems your sect already cracked the Mystic Crystal Nesting Technique," Ye Shuli sneered, as thirteen starlight beams suddenly illuminated the seal on her wrist. "Perhaps you could explain why the Breaking Army Sword Qi appeared at the core of the seal in the Spacetime Nexus?"

The negotiation room fell into a deathly silence.

The glass scale of the master of spiritual energy balance suddenly emitted a tearing sound, and seven cracks appeared on the scale beam that were of the same origin as the sword energy of the Sword Sect.

At this moment, deep within the folded space, Jiang Ye was staring at the ancient bronze mirror suspended in the quantum cloud.

The mirror reflected not his wolf-like vertical pupils, but countless shimmering contract runes. "These patterns..." He reached out and touched the black bird relief on the edge of the mirror, his wolf claws suddenly being cut by some kind of spacetime law, leaving bloody marks.

The mirror surface suddenly rippled, and the phantom of the Nexus Guardian emerged from the distorted dimension.

The dark purple pupil split into twelve concentric rings, each ring flashing with the spiritual energy imprint of a different force.

“Little wolf cubs, do you want to know what they are truly afraid of?” The phantom’s voice was imbued with the laws of chaos. “Look at these modified nested parameters—” Suddenly, a real-time image of the negotiation hall was projected into the mirror. Where the Xuanjing ore vein should have been, thirteen mutually devouring vortexes of spiritual energy appeared.

Jiang Ye's wolf ears suddenly switched to a special frequency: "Wait!"

The direction of these vortexes collapsing... "He gathered the power of moonlight at his fingertips and wrote rapidly on the mirror, actually deducing the trajectory of the star map that originated from the same source as Ye Shuli's collarbone seal.

Inside the negotiation room, Ye Shuli suddenly pressed her hand to the marriage contract mark on her chest.

Amidst the searing pain of the contract's backlash, she clearly sensed the key parameters Jiang Ye had deduced in the mirror world: "Please look at the improvement plan!" She suddenly tore open the void and pulled out a bronze plate, the mysterious crystal patterns imbued with the wolf clan's moonlight achieving a delicate balance with the Po Jun sword energy.

The glass scale of the master of spiritual balance suddenly stopped vibrating, and a perfect proportion never seen before appeared on the scale pan.

The natal artifacts of the seven spirit world representatives resonated simultaneously, projecting a star trajectory projection chart after the fusion of the spirit worlds onto the dome.

"The spiritual energy compensation mechanism proposed by Miss Ye..." The interest coordinator wiped the cold sweat from his brow, "Could you explain in detail the buffer zone nested within the Nine Palaces Star Shifting Array?"

Ye Shuli unleashed the unique spiritual energy threads of the Mo family's mechanical arts at her fingertips, but suddenly changed direction when she touched a certain key point—she cleverly wove the Po Jun sword energy into the core of the buffer zone using the parameters transmitted by Jiang Ye in the mirror.

The Sword Sect Elder's natal sword suddenly emitted a joyful, clear sound, and actively drew the spiritual energy imprints of other forces back to their positions.

When the last spiritual energy wavelength was calibrated, a phantom image of a bronze mirror suddenly appeared on the floor of the negotiation hall.

Jiang Ye's wolf howl came from the folded space, carrying the unique reverberation of spacetime tremors: "Shu Li!"

The parameters in the mirror and the seal on your collarbone — "

Before the words were finished, the star trail projection diagram on the dome suddenly twisted into the shape of a Klein bottle.

Thirteen vortexes of spiritual energy converged at the bottle's opening, condensing into a dark purple key that shimmered with the aura of a Nexus Guardian.

Ye Shuli suddenly grabbed Jiang Ye's wolf tail, and with her blood-stained fingertips, she drew a forbidden Mo family talisman in the air: "Hold on tight!"

The true nesting coefficient is... Her voice was swallowed by the sudden collapse of spacetime curvature, and the two fell into the ripples on the bronze mirror.

Deep within the inverted galaxy of the mirror world, thirteen fragments of the contract are reassembling into a brand new channel key.

In some unobserved dimension, the Nexus Guardian's cold laughter seeps into the forming cracks in the star trails.

Dark purple nebulae surged beneath her feet. Ye Shuli stepped on the gravitational strings formed by quantum entanglement, and goosebumps rose on the back of her neck from the wolf-like frost breath exhaled by Jiang Ye.

She flicked out three improved Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, the hidden weapons crafted from Xuanjing refracting the topological structure of a Klein bottle in twelve-dimensional space.

"Madam, be careful!" Jiang Ye's wolf tail suddenly wrapped around the black jade restraint belt around her waist, and his canine teeth crushed the bronze fragments that were shooting towards her.

The fragments of the hidden weapon split into a Fibonacci sequence in space and time, each fragment carrying the imprint of spiritual power from different forces.

Ye Shuli leaned back to dodge the spiraling beam of spiritual energy, and noticed that silver-blue blood was seeping from the wound on Jiang Ye's left shoulder where a hidden weapon had grazed him.

The blood droplets hovered in the air, becoming quantumly entangled with the contract runes on the bronze mirror. "Don't move!" She drew nano-level spiritual energy threads from her fingertips, using the moonlight power in Jiang Ye's blood to instantly weave a Maxwell's Demon protective shield covering the two of them.

Suddenly, dense pulses of spiritual energy lit up outside the protective shield, and twelve puppets engraved with Mo family mechanical patterns broke through the nebula.

They wielded not traditional weapons, but Klein bottle-shaped magical artifacts that constantly collapsed and reassembled, their mouths spewing sword energy formed from the laws of chaos.

"The Kan position at three o'clock!" Jiang Ye suddenly used his wolf tail to lift Ye Shuli and fling her into the air. "These puppets are imitating the Big Dipper Demon-Slaying Formation in the negotiation hall!" His pupils lit up with the eerie light of the moon phases, and the spacetime rift torn open by his wolf claws clearly showed the Minkowski surface data observed last night.

Ye Shuli spun in the air, her dark skirt unfurling a mandala seal.

Using the momentum of her fall, she slammed the modified Nine Palaces Star Shifting Array into the ground: "Change the Dui trigram to the Qian position, and use the Riemann Hypothesis to complete the nesting coefficients!" The evil sound that erupted from the Xuanjing Bell actually shook the quantum cloud out of a fractal structure, which just happened to block the spiritual power circuits of the three puppets.

Jiang Ye suddenly let out a reverberant wolf howl, the sound waves triggering a strange structure of the Cantor set in twelve-dimensional space.

Two puppets that were about to launch a sneak attack suddenly fell into a spacetime swamp. Their Klein bottle artifacts were infinitely replicated in fractal geometry, and finally exploded into spiritual dust due to the autophagy effect.

"Here you go!" Ye Shuli tossed over a crystal plate covered with non-Euclidean geometric formulas. "Use the Bayesian algorithm you deduced last night to crack their probability clouds!" As she spoke, she had already wrapped five puppets with nanowires, and the spiritual energy wave function jumping on the wires was the contract parameter deciphered from Jiang Ye's blood.

Jiang Ye's wolf ears vibrated at a high frequency, receiving the topological pulses emitted by the crystal plate.

He suddenly plunged his wolf tail into the ground, and the power of the moonlight spread along the Koch curves of the fractal terrain, freezing the chaotic cores of the seven puppets in the blink of an eye: "Madam, let them taste Schrödinger's cat!"

Ye Shuli knowingly tossed out thirty-six specially made copper coins, each engraved with a wave function collapse incantation.

When the last copper coin was embedded in the puppet's brow, the spiritual energy explosion triggered by the quantum superposition state tore the remaining enemies into streams of basic particles.

When the smoke and dust cleared, at the end of the star trails refracted by the bronze mirror, an upside-down Mo family mechanical city appeared.

The Luoshu relief at the city gate glowed with an eerie red light, and each number in the nine-square grid jumped in different dimensions.

"Wait!" Jiang Ye suddenly grabbed Ye Shuli's restraining tassel. "Look at the topological structure of the city gate—" He condensed moonlight power at his fingertips and drew a Möbius strip in the air, "The arrangement of these numbers in four-dimensional space, and the spiritual energy parameters observed last night..."

Before she could finish speaking, the marriage contract seal on Ye Shuli's collarbone suddenly projected a phantom image of a Klein bottle.

The dark purple spiritual energy surging in the bottle resonated with the numbers on the city gate in a quantum manner, and the originally static Luoshu relief began to rotate in the manner of the Coxster group.

The two reached out to touch the city gate at the same time, but the moment their fingertips touched the bronze surface, the entire mechanical city suddenly collapsed into a dodecahedron shape.

Each facet is engraved with concentric rings that share the same origin as the Nexus Guardian's pupils, and the contract runes shimmering within the rings are self-replicating in a Penrose-like pattern.

"wrong!

This is a reverse application of Noether's theorem... Ye Shuli's sharp tongue came to an abrupt halt as she discovered that Jiang Ye's wolf tail was being entangled by some kind of higher-dimensional law.

Those spiritual energy threads were clearly topological transformations of the marriage contract imprint, yet they were nested with restrictions from thirteen different forces.

Jiang Ye suddenly pulled Ye Shuli into his arms, his wolf ears trembling as they brushed against her blood-stained hair. "Don't you think, Madam, this seal is mimicking our entangled spiritual energy?" He bit his fingertip, drawing a four-dimensional hypercube in the bronze doorway with his silver-blue blood. "Solve this with your modified Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art..."

The sudden surge of spiritual energy erupting from the bronze gate swallowed the last sound.

Amidst the spacetime tremors, Ye Shuli clearly saw the dark purple mist seeping from the crack in the door—it was clearly a miniature black hole split from the pupil of the Nexus Guardian, each black hole devouring contract parameters from different dimensions.

When the two worked together to embed the modified version of the Mohist mechanism into the door lock, the entire bronze door suddenly unfolded into a Riemannian surface.

The curved Klein bottle structure spewed out thirteen torrents of spiritual energy, hurling the two unsuspecting individuals onto the ground where quantum clouds had condensed.
