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

Ye Shuli stood in front of the Ye family's old site for a long time before Jiang Ye came to her side. He noticed Ye Shuli's worry and knew that the family secret was troubling her, so he wanted to help her relax, which is why he said those seemingly lighthearted words later.

Ye Shuli gazed at the dilapidated Ye family site. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the broken walls and ruins, much like the faded filter of an old photograph, ancient and mysterious.

A nameless unease spread through her heart. The family secret was like a huge whirlpool, drawing her closer and closer, yet filling her with fear.

"Sister Li, don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes our way! With your super powerful little brother here, I guarantee your safety all the way!" Jiang Ye said, patting his chest with an air of seriousness, trying to ease the atmosphere with his clumsy humor.

Ye Shuli glanced at him, "You? Are you sure you're not a burden?" Although she said it with disdain, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

In this unfamiliar world, having such a funny person by her side at least makes her less lonely.

"A burden? I have some special skills! Sister Li, look!" Jiang Ye said, and then performed a set of his self-created "Invincible Whirlwind Kick" on the spot. However, he almost tripped over himself because he used too much force, and the scene was quite comical.

Ye Shuli couldn't help but laugh out loud; this guy was really a character.

However, before the laughter subsided, a chilling aura instantly enveloped the entire old site.

The air seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"Not good! It's Black Fiend!" Ye Shuli's expression changed, and she immediately became alert.

A dark figure descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of them.

Black Fiend was dressed in black, with a pale face and sinister eyes, like a messenger from hell.

"Ye Shuli, we meet again." Hei Sha's voice was hoarse and deep, with a hint of mockery. "It seems you are quite interested in the family's secrets."

Jiang Ye stood in front of Ye Shuli, gripped his sword tightly, and stared warily at Hei Sha.

Although his opponent was powerful, he would never back down an inch.

"Black Fiend, what exactly do you want?" Ye Shuli stepped forward, looking directly into Black Fiend's eyes, her tone icy.

Hei Sha sneered, "What do I want to do? Of course, I want to take your life, and incidentally... reclaim what belongs to me." He paused, a greedy glint in his eyes, "I heard you have a jade pendant?"

Ye Shuli subconsciously touched the jade pendant hidden in her clothes, and her heart sank.

It seems that this is indeed Black Demon's target!

Hei Sha watched Ye Shuli's actions, a sinister smile curving his lips. "Hand it over obediently, and I can give you a quick death."

"Want my jade pendant? Dream on!" Ye Shuli sneered, her spiritual energy surging in her hand. "If you want it, let's see if you have the ability!"

Hei Sha was clearly taken aback by Ye Shuli's firm stance.

He had assumed they would run away like last time, but he never expected...

"You're courting death!" Black Fiend roared, his figure flashing as he vanished from the spot in an instant...

Black Fiend moved with lightning speed. Ye Shuli only felt a blur before her eyes, and Black Fiend was already in front of her.

However, Ye Shuli was prepared. With a flick of her wrist, a jade pendant appeared in her hand, radiating a dazzling light.

This light was not ordinary light, but a strange colored light with an unusual fluctuation that seemed to disturb one's mind.

"What the hell is this?!" Caught off guard, Black Fiend was blinded by the sudden burst of bright light and couldn't help but swear.

He subconsciously raised his hand to shield himself, and his movements paused slightly.

It's now!

Jiang Ye seized the opportunity and charged towards Hei Sha like a cannonball, his sword carrying a sharp sword aura, pointing directly at Hei Sha's chest.

"Sister Li, take this!" Jiang Ye shouted, his voice filled with excitement.

Although Hei Sha was distracted by the bright light, he still reacted quickly and dodged Jiang Ye's attack by sidestepping.

However, just as he dodged Jiang Ye's sword, Ye Shuli's attack arrived.

"Spiritual Finger!" Ye Shuli shouted softly, and a stream of spiritual energy shot out from her fingertip, striking Hei Sha's shoulder.

"Ah!" Black Fiend screamed, staggering back a few steps, blood streaming down his shoulder.

He clutched his wound, his face terribly grim.

“You…you all…” Black Demon gritted his teeth, but couldn’t speak for a long time.

He never imagined that these two beings, whom he considered like ants, could actually hurt him!

"Surprised? This is just the beginning!" Ye Shuli sneered.

Black Fiend stared intently at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "You...you must all die!"

Black Fiend was completely enraged, like a maddened beast, each move carrying a world-destroying momentum, with bursts of explosions echoing in the air, making people's eardrums ache.

He no longer held back, unleashing the full power of a Spirit Venerable. Black spiritual energy swirled around him like ink, corroding the ground with scorched pits wherever it passed.

Even with Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye working together, they could only barely hold their own, and the aftershocks of the battle made the surrounding broken walls and ruins tremble precariously.

Black Fiend's attacks were like a sudden storm, wave after wave, leaving people breathless.

Although Ye Shuli was able to barely hold on thanks to her modern fighting skills and spiritual power, her physical strength was greatly depleted.

Jiang Ye fared even worse. Although he was agile, the difference in strength was too great, and he was already injured. In particular, he had taken a hard blow to the back while protecting Ye Shuli, and the pain made his mouth twitch.

"Xiao Ye! Are you alright?" Ye Shuli felt a pang of heartache upon seeing Jiang Ye injured, wishing she could take all the pain upon herself. She quickly supported Jiang Ye.

"It's nothing, Sister Li, it's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about!" Jiang Ye grinned, trying to comfort Ye Shuli with his signature smile, but the blood at the corner of his mouth and his pale face betrayed his weakness.

Seeing the two so affectionate, Hei Sha became even more furious. "Tsk tsk tsk, they're about to die and they still have the mood to show affection? How touching!"

He waved his palms again, and spiritual energy, like two black blades, rushed straight towards Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

This time, he used all his strength, showing no mercy whatsoever; the air seemed to be torn apart.

Ye Shuli gritted her teeth, trying to shield Jiang Ye with her body, but he pushed her away, saying, "Sister Li, you go first!"

"Trying to leave? Not so easy!" Black Fiend grinned maliciously, about to launch another attack.

At this critical moment, Ye Shuli suddenly remembered a secret technique that the old butler had mentioned before, a technique that had been passed down in the Ye family...

Her eyes narrowed, and a strange feeling rose from the bottom of her heart, as if the blood in her body was boiling.

She closed her eyes, chanted incantations, and began to form complex hand seals with her hands...

In a flash, Ye Shuli burst forth with dazzling light, and ancient incantations were chanted from her mouth, like ancient ballads, carrying a mysterious and powerful force.

This force spread rapidly outwards from her, forming a huge golden light shield that enveloped her and Jiang Ye.

On the light shield, ancient runes swam like tadpoles, emanating a chilling aura.

"Holy crap! What's going on?" Jiang Ye was completely dumbfounded. These special effects were better than any fantasy blockbuster he had ever seen!

The black demon's attack struck the golden light shield, producing a deafening roar, like waves crashing against the shore, yet it could not shake the shield in the slightest.

Black Fiend stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could this be?

These two low-level thugs actually managed to use such a trick?

"What kind of evil magic is this?!" Black Fiend roared, frantically attacking the light barrier. Black spiritual power poured down like a storm, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to stir up even a ripple.

Ye Shuli closed her eyes tightly, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. Maintaining this light barrier required a huge amount of spiritual power. As the incantation continued to be chanted, she felt a powerful force surging within her body. This force was warm and vast, filling her with unprecedented confidence.

The golden light shield grew brighter and brighter, and the runes spun faster and faster. A powerful suction force emanated from the light shield, and Hei Sha felt his body being uncontrollably pulled towards it.

"No! This is impossible!" Black Demon struggled in terror, but to no avail.

He watched helplessly as he was sucked into the light shield, then bound by a powerful force, unable to move.

The golden light barrier slowly dissipated, and Ye Shuli collapsed to the ground, her face as pale as paper.

Jiang Ye quickly helped her up, his face full of worry, "Sister Li, are you alright?"

Ye Shuli shook her head, took a deep breath, felt the surging power within her body, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Become!

She successfully inherited the family's legacy!

"Black Fiend, are you still arrogant now?" Jiang Ye looked at the imprisoned Black Fiend with a smug expression, not forgetting to add insult to injury, "Serves you right for being so cocky! Now you know what's what, don't you?"

Black Demon's face was ashen, but he couldn't utter a single word. He could only glare at them with venomous eyes.

Ye Shuli knew that this was only a temporary victory.

Black Fiend's strength far surpasses theirs, and they will still be in danger once he finds an opportunity to break free of his restraints.

Moreover, the family's secrets have not been fully revealed, and there may be even more powerful enemies behind Black Fiend.

“Let’s go, we should go and see what secrets lie hidden deep within the family’s old site.” Ye Shuli stood up, her eyes resolute.

Jiang Ye nodded, helped Ye Shuli, and walked deeper into the old family site.

With trepidation, they walked step by step into the unknown darkness...

"Wait, Sister Li, I think I heard something..." Jiang Ye suddenly stopped, his expression serious.
