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

The light surrounding Ye Shuli was as intense as a newborn sun, illuminating her beautiful face with a holy and majestic aura.

The power within her was like a surging river, surging and boundless, and her fighting spirit burned like a raging fire in her heart.

Those eyes, which had been slightly bewildered, were now filled with determination and resolve.

She will manipulate fate and crush those conspirators who try to control her life!

"Since we're already here, how can we not do something?" Ye Shuli's lips curled into a cold smile, her tone carrying a hint of cynicism.

With a swift movement, she charged directly towards the densely packed swarm of destiny puppets.

Although there were many of those puppets, in her eyes they were nothing more than a rabble.

Her figure moved erratically, like a ghost weaving among the puppets. Every attack was precise and deadly, and every dodge was perfectly timed.

Ordinary people would probably have been torn to shreds long ago if they faced these puppets controlled by the power of fate.

After all, these guys are all formidable figures at the god-like level!

But Ye Shuli is different. She possesses modern knowledge and has also integrated the mysterious jade fragments, making her completely different from before.

The puppets' attacks seemed as slow as snails to her, posing no threat whatsoever.

She even had the leisure to mock the clumsy puppets: "Hey guys, are you doing old-fashioned disco here? You're moving way too slowly! Want me to teach you some modern dance?"

Her figure moved like a ghost, and each time she appeared, she took away the "life" of several puppets.

Those puppets that were originally so imposing were as fragile as paper in front of her, utterly vulnerable.

In just a few breaths, she broke through the puppets' encirclement and headed straight for the ultimate villain hidden behind the scenes.

This scene left the gray-robed man, who had been so confident of victory, with a look of astonishment on his face.

He clearly hadn't expected Ye Shuli to adopt such a radical strategy.

Logically speaking, shouldn't we deal with these troublesome puppets first before dealing with him?

"Interesting. It seems you're more troublesome than I imagined." The gray-robed man's cold voice echoed in the air, tinged with amusement.

Faced with the menacing Ye Shuli, the gray-robed man dared not be negligent.

He quickly formed hand seals, and a powerful force of destiny condensed into an indestructible barrier in front of him.

This barrier contains a powerful force that can turn the tide and reverse fate, enough to withstand any attack.

Ye Shuli's lips curled into a mocking smile: "The power of fate? Heh, today I'll show you what it means to 'man conquer nature'!"

She crashed into the barrier without hesitation.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, exploded across the battlefield.

Ye Shuli's body slammed hard against the barrier, producing a muffled thud.

Surprisingly, however, that seemingly indestructible barrier of fate began to show cracks.

A mysterious power surged from Ye Shuli's body, like a corrosive agent, constantly eroding the power of destiny on the barrier.

"This...how is this possible?" The gray-robed man's eyes widened, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

He couldn't believe that the power of destiny he was so proud of could be eroded by someone.

Just then, Jiang Ye's heart-wrenching screams, like sharp arrows piercing through time and space, pierced Ye Shuli's ears.

"Ye Shuli! Wake up! Have you forgotten how we stole licorice candy together in the herb field? Have you forgotten the vows we made together under the starry sky? Have you forgotten us..." Jiang Ye's voice was filled with endless tenderness and reluctance, as if he wanted to re-inject all the beautiful memories into Ye Shuli's mind.

Ye Shuli's delicate body suddenly trembled as scenes of her time with Jiang Ye flashed through her mind.

Those warm, sweet, and happy times flooded her mind like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She saw Jiang Ye's sunny smile, heard his magnetic voice, and felt his warm embrace.

Those long-forgotten memories, like new sprouts breaking through the soil, grew wildly in her heart.

"Jiang Ye..." Ye Shuli murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.

However, those beautiful memories, like sharp blades, pierced her heart with deep pain.

She could not forget the hatred in her family, nor could she forget the relatives who had died tragically.

The flames of hatred still burned fiercely in her heart, making it impossible for her to escape.

She closed her eyes in pain, large beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

A fierce struggle was raging within her.

Love and hate, light and darkness, intertwined wildly in her heart, almost driving her to the brink of collapse.

"Ah..." Ye Shuli let out a painful roar, her voice filled with despair and struggle.

Seeing Ye Shuli's unusual behavior, the gray-robed man's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Heh, it seems your heart isn't as strong as you appear! In that case, let me lend you a hand!"

He waved his hands, manipulating the puppets of fate to launch a frenzied attack on Jiang Ye.

He wanted to use Jiang Ye to control Ye Shuli, making her struggle in pain until she finally broke down completely.

Jiang Ye faced the surging tide of puppets without the slightest fear.

Wielding the Reversal Lock, he fought bravely against the enemy, each swing taking the "life" of a puppet.

However, there were simply too many puppets, and they were too powerful to resist.

Jiang Ye's body was soon covered with wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Ye Shuli! Don't worry about me! Kill that bastard!" Jiang Ye's voice was hoarse, but he was still shouting with all his might.

Seeing Jiang Ye injured, Ye Shuli felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

Those beautiful memories flashed through her mind like a slideshow, making her even more miserable.

"No...don't..." Ye Shuli shook her head in anguish, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.

Just then, she suddenly felt the mysterious power within her body gradually awakening.

That was love, that was protection, that was endless love for Jiang Ye.

"Ah..." Ye Shuli let out another roar, her voice filled with power and determination.

She suddenly opened her eyes, which sparkled with a brilliant light.

The love that had been suppressed in her heart for so long erupted like a volcano, transforming into a powerful force that filled her entire body.

"Break it for me!"

Ye Shuli roared and poured all her power into her fists, slamming them hard against the barrier of fate.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and she actually managed to blast a small gap in that seemingly indestructible barrier of fate.

The gray-robed man sensed the sudden increase in power emanating from Ye Shuli and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"This...how is this possible?!" he exclaimed.

Ye Shuli gave him no chance to catch his breath. She moved swiftly, ready to burst through the gap and completely crush the gray-robed man.

I told you, no one can hurt you!

Ye Shuli's voice resounded across the battlefield like thunder from the heavens.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Shuli's figure disappeared from the spot.

The gray-robed man's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of impending death instantly enveloped his entire body.

Without a second thought, he immediately retreated, trying to create distance between himself and Ye Shuli.

However, at that moment, he heard a cold voice in his ear.

"too late."

The gray-robed man turned around abruptly, only to see Ye Shuli appear behind him at some point.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and a chilling light flashed in her eyes.

Ye Shuli threw a punch, which struck the gray-robed man hard in the chest.

The gray-robed man let out a muffled groan and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

He struggled to stand up, but found himself powerless and unable to move.

Ye Shuli slowly walked up to the gray-robed man, looking down at him.

"Now, it's your turn to pay the price," Ye Shuli said coldly.

She slowly raised her hand, and a dazzling light gathered in her palm.

This light contains the power to destroy everything.

Just as she was about to deliver the final blow, the gray-robed man suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

"Hehe...hehehe...you think you've won? No...the game has only just begun..."

Ye Shuli frowned, a strong sense of unease rising in her heart.

"The gears of fate have begun to turn... You... cannot escape..."

The gray-robed man's voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

Ye Shuli watched the gray-robed man's body gradually lose its life force, her heart filled with doubt.

What did he mean by "can't escape" in his words?

Before Ye Shuli could figure it out, the surrounding scenery began to distort.

"Not good!"

Ye Shuli immediately realized that she had probably fallen into some kind of trap.

At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake.

"Rumble..."

The violent tremors caused the entire space to shake.

Ye Shuli looked up and saw a huge vortex suddenly appear in the distant sky.

Within the vortex, endless darkness surged, as if it were about to devour everything.

A suffocating sense of oppression descended from the sky, making it almost impossible for Ye Shuli to breathe.

"What...what is this?!" Ye Shuli asked in horror.

A deep voice emanated from the vortex, like a summons from hell.

"The judgment of fate... is about to begin..."

Ye Shuli's face was pale and her whole body was trembling.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Countless dark figures flew out from the vortex and pounced towards Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli wanted to retaliate, but found that the power within her body was completely suppressed and she was unable to use it at all.

"Could this be... the power of fate?" Ye Shuli thought in despair.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Is she really going to succumb to the dictates of fate?

Just then, Jiang Ye's image flashed through her mind.

"No... I can't give up! For Jiang Ye, I must overcome fate!"

Ye Shuli gritted her teeth and tried her best to break free from the shackles of fate.

However, those shadowy figures were simply too powerful to resist.

It looked like Ye Shuli was about to be swallowed up by those dark figures.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a dazzling light burst forth from Ye Shuli's body.

The light instantly dispelled all the darkness and sent all the shadowy figures flying.

Ye Shuli's body also began to undergo tremendous changes.

Her skin became as translucent as white jade.
