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

The instant the ice crystal artifact shattered, the integrated circuit patterns on the edge of the void rift suddenly lit up with a red light.

Ye Shuli staggered and grabbed Jiang Ye's belt. The binary tattoo on the back of her neck was burning hot like a branding iron, and the frequency of the gene chains moving under her skin was perfectly synchronized with the infrasound waves emitted from the cracks.

"Hold on tight to the black iron buckle on my waist!" Jiang Ye formed a hand seal and threw out three talismans, the bursting golden light forming a diamond-shaped shield in front of the two of them.

Suddenly, countless crystal spikes extended from the dark purple crystal, crashing against the shield's surface like a rainstorm. Each crystal spike carried energy ripples arranged in the Fibonacci sequence.

Ye Shuli's star chart compass emitted a piercing alarm, and the radiation level on the display screen had exceeded the critical point.

Her pupils suddenly contracted as she stared at the integrated circuit patterns—it was clearly a silicon-based chip structure magnified a million times, with dark purple crystals forming a lattice array resembling a quantum computer.

“Reverse resonance!” She suddenly ripped open her collar to reveal the tattoo on the back of her neck. “Use your spiritual power to stimulate the Yangguan acupoint on my third vertebra, increasing the intensity according to the Fibonacci sequence!” Jiang Ye’s fingertips immediately glowed with a blue light, precisely pressing on her acupoint that was glowing blue.

The binary code suddenly detached from the skin and floated in the air, forming a mirror image symmetrical with the lattice array of the crack.

The space around the two suddenly twisted into a Klein bottle structure, and the suction force that had been pulling them together began to cancel each other out in a strange way.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Shuli threw the star map compass towards the center of the crack. The twenty-eight constellation patterns on the compass surface collided with the integrated circuit, creating dark matter sparks.

"Now!" She bit her tongue and spat out her blood, which automatically arranged in mid-air to form a DNA double helix model.

Jiang Ye simultaneously tore off the seven spirit jade buckles on his waist seal. The Big Dipper array formed by the jade fragments perfectly merged with the blood spiral, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into the core of the crack.

Amidst the roaring sound of the cracks closing, Ye Shuli suddenly discovered that her genetic lock was being decoded in reverse.

The base pairs that store modern technological data are constantly recombinating, projecting flashing warning pop-ups onto the retina.

Just as the last crack was about to close, the binary tattoo on the back of her neck suddenly spontaneously arranged an unprecedented set of instructions: "Quantum entanglement signal source detected."

The diamond-shaped shield emitted a crisp, shattering sound as it was burned by the dark matter sparks.

The radiation counter on Ye Shuli's wrist suddenly exploded, and the flying chips left three bloody marks on her cheek.

The suspended binary code began to flicker violently like a runaway neon light tube, and the originally chimeric DNA double helix model showed signs of base pair breakage.

"Data overload!" Blue blood suddenly seeped from the tattoo on the back of her neck, and a bitter taste of burnt integrated circuits filled her throat.

The quantum computer array at the core of the crack is reversing her genetic code at a rate of tens of millions of times per second, and the warning pop-ups projected onto her retina have piled up into mosaic blocks.

Jiang Ye suddenly ripped open his black outer robe, revealing a bronze compass hidden in his chest.

The twelve earthly branches, driven by his spiritual power, spun rapidly, and the copper rust he flung out actually solidified into a firewall of oracle bone script in mid-air.

"Keep ranting!" He pressed the compass against Ye Shuli's bleeding tattoo. "Recite the periodic table at the speed you used to call me an idiot!"

The excruciating pain made Ye Shuli's vision go black, but she still screamed in a hoarse voice: "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron... carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon..." Each syllable turned into a pale green data stream, colliding with the oracle bone script on the bronze compass and sparking bronze-colored sparks.

The broken base pairs suddenly and spontaneously recombine, forming a double helix protective shield around the two people.

When the void rift shrank to the size of a fist, a sudden change occurred.

Three dark purple crystal spikes suddenly pierced through the protective shield, one of which went straight for Ye Shuli's back.

Jiang Ye's pupils instantly glowed with a beast-like golden light. The moment he grabbed the crystal spike with his backhand, the blood droplet in his palm condensed into a calculus equation in mid-air.

"Don't get distracted!" He let the crystal spikes pierce his palm, and the blood equation he flung out firmly locked the last crack in the Lorentz transformation model. "The telomeres on the seventh pair of chromosomes in your gene chain are shortening!"

Ye Shuli bit her second finger and drew a benzene ring structure in the air.

The instant the hexagonal light array overlapped with the blood equation, the resulting energy wave vaporized all the dark purple crystals within a ten-zhang radius.

The suspended binary code suddenly collapsed into quantum dots, solidifying into a new tattoo pattern on her collarbone—an ∞ symbol nested within a double helix.

As the last crack vanished in the Fourier transform spectrum, the phantom images of thirty-six bronze cauldrons descended from the sky.

The Taotie pattern on the cauldron opened its scarlet eyes, and the surging power of the void transformed into a torrential rain of cyan and gold, pouring down on the two of them.

Ye Shuli's tattered clothes fluttered in the energy flow, and Mandelbrot fractals appeared on her exposed skin, constantly evolving.

"Mid-stage Spirit Master...Late-stage...Peak!" Jiang Ye looked at the Big Dipper pattern that appeared on his palm and was thrown back three steps by the surge of spiritual energy.

The jade crown that bound his hair suddenly shattered, and Klein blue lightning bolts danced through his hair.

When the energy storm subsided, the two collapsed into the charred crater.

Ye Shuli's star map compass automatically unfolded into a holographic projection, displaying the light gold seal script with the message "[Void Affinity 97%]".

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed that Jiang Ye was still tightly gripping the crystal thorn that had pierced his palm.

"Let go, you idiot!" She ripped off the silver chain from her waistband and was about to bandage it.

"Wait!" Jiang Ye suddenly held the crystal spike up to his eyes, the blood seeping from his wound flowing along the Fibonacci spiral pattern of the crystal. "Look! Don't these energy ripples look like the protein folding model you drew last week?"

In the instant Ye Shuli was stunned, the young man suddenly drew a "w" symbol between her eyebrows with his blood-stained finger.

The nascent power of the void was activated and injected into symbols, causing countless nebula patterns to explode in her sea of ​​consciousness.

When she came to her senses, she found herself completely protected in Jiang Ye's arms by a spiritual barrier, her nose brushing against the smell of gunpowder lingering on his collar.

The sound of air being torn apart came from twenty feet away, and seven flying boats engraved with the Vermilion Bird pattern were approaching.

When the silver-armored guard raised his celestial mirror, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Ye playing with Ye Shuli's scattered hairpins, while the latter kicked his shin with her ears turning red.

"You have to pretend to be loving, etc..." Ye Shuli's scolding stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, the family jade pendant on her chest became hot, and the black jade surface engraved with the Ye family emblem exuded the smell of telomerase activator that she had seen in the laboratory before she transmigrated.

Jiang Ye keenly noticed her back stiffen instantly, and quietly placed his palm on her vital acupoint on the back.

The spiritual power probe revealed not internal injuries—deep within Ye Shuli's genetic chain, a certain base sequence that should have been dormant was frantically replicating, emitting quantum entanglement fluctuations identical to those of the Ye clan's ancestral land.

“Your pheromones…” he lowered his head and gently sniffed her hair, “carrying the burnt smell of a failed Oracle script burning.”

Ye Shuli gripped the family jade pendant, which had developed cracks, and watched the dust kicked up as the flying boat descended.

While everyone was busy kneeling and worshipping the Vermilion Bird totem, she used her blood-stained fingers to write four numbers on Jiang Ye's palm—the very experimental pod number from the day she traveled through time.
