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

Ye Shuli sheathed her longsword, and the dazzling light gradually dissipated, while the surrounding spiritual energy slowly calmed down.

She sighed softly. Although she had won the battle, it had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy. Moreover, Elder Wu's threat was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over her head, making her dare not relax at all.

"Li'er, are you alright?" Jiang Ye leaned closer and asked with concern, his voice full of heartache.

Ye Shuli shook her head. "I'm fine, just a little tired." She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. It wasn't just physical fatigue, but also mental irritability.

Jiang Ye held her hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, Li'er, with me here, no one can hurt you!" He was like a loyal big dog, ready to shield her from all storms at any time.

Ye Shuli was amused by his words, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

This guy may seem carefree and irresponsible most of the time, but he's actually quite reliable when it really matters.

"Oh, isn't this our great heroine, Miss Ye? I heard you displayed your might here, even Elder Wu's assassins fled in disarray. You truly are a woman who doesn't yield to men!" A voice with a hint of teasing came over.

Ye Shuli looked up and saw Young Master Lin walking over, dressed in white, with an elegant demeanor, followed by several attendants, making quite a grand entrance.

When Jiang Ye saw Young Master Lin, his face immediately darkened, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Ye Shuli's hand.

Why is this guy here?

Are they here to laugh at Li'er?

"Young Master Lin, you flatter me. They're just some small fry, nothing to brag about," Ye Shuli replied indifferently, her tone neither warm nor cold.

"A nobody? Elder Wu is notoriously vengeful, Miss Ye, you'd better be careful." Young Master Lin said meaningfully, his gaze lingering on her for a moment with a hint of inquiry.

"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Lin. I will be careful." Ye Shuli subtly withdrew her hand, took a step back, and increased the distance between herself and Young Master Lin.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye felt secretly pleased. As expected, Li'er still preferred him and didn't care about this Young Master Lin at all.

"Li'er, are you hurt? Let me see." Young Master Lin said, and was about to step forward to check on Ye Shuli's condition.

Jiang Ye quickly stepped in front of Ye Shuli, looking at Young Master Lin warily, "Li'er is fine, you don't need to worry about her!"

Seeing Jiang Ye protecting Ye Shuli, Young Master Lin sneered, "What, is Young Master Jiang asserting his dominance?"

Jiang Ye retorted without backing down, "That's right, Li'er is my friend, of course I have to protect her!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and ready to fight...

Young Master Lin looked at Ye Shuli and slowly spoke, "Li'er, you..."

"Li'er, you..." Young Master Lin was interrupted by Ye Shuli before he could finish speaking. "I appreciate Young Master Lin's kindness, but I'm more concerned about the family's succession right now. As for romance, let's put that aside for now." Her tone was firm and unquestionable, as if declaring: I only want to focus on my career right now. Men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!

Jiang Ye chuckled to himself. That was a brilliant move!

No wonder she's the woman he's set his sights on, she's so cool!

Seeing Lin Shaozhu's frustrated expression made him feel that the sky was exceptionally bright that day.

“Li’er is right. Now is not the time for romance. Let’s find the inheritance first,” Jiang Ye agreed, not forgetting to give Young Master Lin a provocative look, as if to say: Brother, you’re out of luck!

Young Master Lin's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He gave Ye Shuli a deep look and said nothing more.

Just then, a gentle and refined voice came: "Miss Ye, how have you been?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Young Master Su, dressed in green, walking slowly towards them, like a celestial being descending to earth.

He held a folding fan in his hand, gently waving it, exuding an elegant demeanor in every gesture.

"Young Master Su." Ye Shuli nodded slightly, her tone polite but distant.

Young Master Su walked up to Ye Shuli, a hint of worry on his face. "I heard that Elder Wu sent people to attack you, so I came here specifically to see if you are alright."

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Su. I'm fine," Ye Shuli replied calmly.

"That's good." Young Master Su breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Jiang Ye, his eyes carrying a hint of warning, "Young Master Jiang, Miss Ye's safety is entrusted to you. I hope you will not betray her trust."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately became displeased. "Young Master Su, what do you mean by that? Do I need you to remind me to protect Li'er?"

"I was just trying to be helpful, Young Master Jiang, there's no need to get so agitated." Young Master Su's tone remained gentle, but his eyes sharpened.

"A kind reminder? I think you're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you're up to no good!" Jiang Ye retorted without backing down.

"Enough!" Ye Shuli shouted sharply. She didn't expect these two to start fighting as soon as they met. How childish!

"What time is it? You're all still arguing and bickering? Quiet down!"

The two were intimidated by Ye Shuli's aura and obediently shut their mouths.

Young Master Su coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence. "Miss Ye, I have received news that your family's legacy may be in danger. You must be careful."

"Danger?" Ye Shuli frowned slightly. "What danger?"

“I don’t know the specifics, but I do know that someone is eyeing your family’s inheritance, and they are very powerful,” Young Master Su said solemnly.

"Someone's eyeing the inheritance? Who's so bold?" Jiang Ye asked in surprise. This was something belonging to the Ye family; who would dare to touch it?

"That's hard to say," Young Master Su shook his head. "However, I suggest you find the inheritance as soon as possible, lest things get complicated."

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Su." Ye Shuli nodded, starting to make plans in her mind.

"I disagree!" Jiang Ye suddenly objected. "The area around the inheritance site is definitely fraught with danger right now. It would be too dangerous for Li'er to go there!"

"Young Master Jiang, what do you mean by this? Do you want Miss Ye to give up her family's legacy?" Young Master Su questioned in an unfriendly tone.

"I..." Jiang Ye was speechless for a moment. Of course, he didn't want Ye Shuli to give up the inheritance, but he also didn't want her to take risks.

"My mind is made up, there's no need to say more," Ye Shuli said firmly, her gaze fixed intently on the distance, where the secrets of her family's heritage seemed to lie hidden, as well as countless dangers.

She took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Let's go!"

Ye Shuli felt a headache coming on as she watched the two about to start arguing again.

These two, one like a husky and the other like a Samoyed, usually seem quite docile, but they become like they've been whipped into a rage whenever they're around her.

She rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, you two stop acting like fighting cocks. It's not a big deal! The most important thing right now is to find the inheritance. We can talk about the rest later!"

Jiang Ye and Young Master Su both touched their noses a little embarrassed after she said that.

It does seem a bit childish...

Ye Shuli's actions brought them back to reality from the chaotic scene.

No wonder she's their goddess; she's so clear-headed!

"Young Master Su, thank you for reminding me. I will be careful." Ye Shuli nodded to Young Master Su, then turned to Jiang Ye. "You too, stop worrying all the time. Instead of worrying about me, you should focus on your cultivation and improve your strength. That way you can better protect me, understand?"

Hearing her words warmed Jiang Ye's heart, and he immediately felt energized, promising with high spirits, "Li'er, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and become your strongest support!"

Watching the interaction between the two, Young Master Su elegantly fanned himself and said with a smile, "In that case, I shall take my leave now. Take care, Miss Ye."

After watching Young Master Su leave, Ye Shuli took a deep breath and looked resolutely into the depths of the inheritance ground.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Deep within this land of heritage lies an ancient and mysterious aura.

Towering ancient trees block out the sun, strangely shaped rocks are scattered in an orderly manner, and a light mist is permeating the air, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

Ye Shuli moved forward cautiously, with Jiang Ye following closely behind her, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, Ye Shuli stopped in her tracks. She noticed a transparent barrier in front of her, emitting a faint light.

"What is this?" Jiang Ye asked curiously.

“It should be some kind of restriction.” Ye Shuli carefully observed the patterns on the restriction. Although the restriction was ancient, it was not unfamiliar to her.

She had seen similar formations in modern books; they were energy barriers built using spiritual energy, used to protect important things.

Ye Shuli took out some materials from her storage bag and began to set up the formation.

Her hands moved swiftly, her fingertips swirling with faint spiritual energy, and complex runes appeared in the air before merging into the restriction.

As the last rune fell, the light on the barrier intensified suddenly, then slowly dissipated.

"It's done!" Ye Shuli exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

After the barrier disappeared, a hidden cave was revealed.

At the entrance to the cave, several ancient characters are carved: "Land of Family Heritage".

"Li'er, you're amazing!" Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli with admiration, his eyes sparkling.

His Li'er is simply omnipotent!

Ye Shuli proudly raised her chin, "Of course, don't you know who I am!"

Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy began to fluctuate violently, a deep rumbling sound came from the depths of the cave, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"What happened?" Jiang Ye asked nervously.

Ye Shuli looked into the depths of the cave with a serious expression. "I don't know. Let's be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the depths of the cave, heading straight for Ye Shuli...

"Li'er, be careful!" Jiang Ye shouted and tackled Ye Shuli to the ground.

Jiang Ye shouted and tackled Ye Shuli to the ground, narrowly avoiding the attack of the dark figure.

Ye Shuli turned over and stood up, staring straight ahead. She saw Elder Wu slowly emerge from the depths of the cave with a cold smile on his face.

"Ye Shuli, I never expected that a mere transmigrator would dare to challenge my restrictions." Elder Wu's voice was deep and cold. "Today is your death day!"

Ye Shuli's heart tightened, but she immediately adjusted her breathing, gripped the long sword in her hand, and Jiang Ye also quickly stood up, gripped the hilt of his sword, and stood side by side with Ye Shuli.

"Elder Wu, don't be so arrogant!" Jiang Ye shouted, his eyes flashing with anger. "We won't let you succeed!"

Elder Wu chuckled coldly, clapped his hands, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be mobilized by him, forming a powerful pressure that pressed down on Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

Ye Shuli felt the pressure increase sharply, but instead of retreating, she advanced, gripped her sword with both hands, her spiritual power surged, and slashed at Elder Wu.

"Hmph, courting death!" Elder Wu sneered, his hands flying, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy that swallowed up all of Ye Shuli's sword energy.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye quickly stepped forward, his short sword flashing like lightning as he stabbed towards Elder Wu's chest.

Elder Wu's eyes turned cold, and he dodged Jiang Ye's attack with a flash, while simultaneously striking Jiang Ye's back with a palm.

Jiang Ye had no time to react and was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli shouted, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, but she quickly steadied herself and rushed towards Elder Wu again.

Spiritual energy surged within her body, and sword energy flowed like a dragon, unstoppable.

Upon seeing Elder Wu, Ye Shuli felt a strong impact and involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Li'er, be careful!" Jiang Ye struggled to get up, blood still flowing from his mouth, but his eyes were unwavering.

Ye Shuli felt Jiang Ye's call and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She took a deep breath and quickly gathered her spiritual power, preparing to launch another fierce attack.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar, and several figures quickly approached.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye turned their heads almost simultaneously, only to see Young Master Lin and Young Master Su hurrying over one after the other.

"It seems you're in big trouble." Elder Wu sneered, his hands forming a seal once more, preparing to launch the final attack.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye exchanged a glance. At this critical moment, Ye Shuli shouted, unleashing her full spiritual power. Her sword light shone like a rainbow, piercing straight for Elder Wu's heart...
