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

The sword light was like a rainbow, but it was like the glow of a firefly in front of Elder Wu.

He smiled dismissively and with a wave of his hand, an invisible barrier completely neutralized Ye Shuli's attacks.

"Little tricks."

Ye Shuli felt a powerful recoil force strike her, her hand went numb, and she almost dropped her longsword.

She gritted her teeth and tried to gather her spiritual power again, but found that her spiritual power was as if it had been drained and was difficult to circulate.

Oh no, this is terrible!

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye struggled to his feet, staggering as he stood in front of Ye Shuli. "You old fool, your opponent is me!"

"Overestimating yourself!" Elder Wu sneered, his palm strike fierce, aimed directly at Jiang Ye's face.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath and barely managed to gather a trace of spiritual power, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly futile.

Seeing that the palm strike was about to hit Jiang Ye, Ye Shuli closed her eyes in despair.

"Boom!" A loud noise was heard, but the expected pain did not come.

Ye Shuli slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Ye holding her tightly, with a deep, bone-revealing palm print on his back.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli's heart clenched as if it were being squeezed tightly.

Warm blood stained her clothes, a shocking sight.

Jiang Ye's face was pale, but a weak smile appeared on his lips: "Li'er, don't be afraid, I'm alright..."

"You idiot!" Ye Shuli trembled as she stroked Jiang Ye's face, tears blurring her vision.

"Cough cough..." Jiang Ye coughed violently, and blood kept gushing from the corner of his mouth.

"Li'er, I...I think I can't hold on any longer..."

Ye Shuli held Jiang Ye tightly, feeling his gradually weakening breath, and despair overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

Just then, Lin Shaozhu's anxious voice came from afar: "Shuli! Jiang Ye!"

Immediately afterwards, two figures arrived like lightning. Young Master Lin and Young Master Su attacked almost simultaneously, forcing Elder Wu to retreat.

"Li'er, how are you?" Young Master Lin asked with concern.

Ye Shuli seemed not to hear him, only holding Jiang Ye tightly, her eyes vacant, murmuring to herself, "Jiang Ye, wake up, you can't die..."

Seeing this, Young Master Su frowned, reached out to check Jiang Ye's breathing, and his expression changed drastically: "This is bad, his breathing is getting weaker and weaker..."

"Quick, take him to get treatment!" Young Master Lin made a decisive move, picking up Jiang Ye and preparing to leave.

"Wait!" Ye Shuli suddenly grabbed Jiang Ye's hand. "I need to take him to... the family's forbidden area." Ye Shuli hugged Jiang Ye tightly, tears streaming down her face, soaking his shirt.

Her trembling fingertips traced his pale lips, her eyes filled with love and worry—a captivating tenderness that seemed to drown Jiang Ye within it.

Jiang Ye looked at her, feeling the warmth in his arms, and a sense of peace he had never felt before welled up in his heart. It was as if only the two of them remained in the world, and danger and pain became blurred, with only this intense love spreading wildly.

"Cough cough..." Jiang Ye coughed violently again, and blood stained Ye Shuli's clothes red, like blooming spider lilies, enchanting and tragic.

"Li'er, don't cry, I... I won't die yet..." he weakly comforted her, but a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll... I'll..." Ye Shuli choked up, unable to utter a complete sentence, feeling as if a knife was twisting violently in her heart.

Just as Elder Wu thought victory was assured and was preparing to deliver the final blow to the star-crossed lovers, two figures appeared like ghosts, moving at double speed.

"Shu Li! Jiang Ye!" Young Master Lin and Young Master Su appeared almost simultaneously. They exchanged a glance and then tacitly joined forces to attack Elder Wu.

The situation reversed instantly. Elder Wu was caught off guard. His previously confident expression froze, replaced by shock and anger.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to ruin my good time!" he roared, barely managing to fend off the two men's attacks, but gradually feeling his strength waning.

Young Master Lin's swordsmanship was fierce, with each move aimed directly at vital points, while Young Master Su's movements were graceful and agile as the wind. The two cooperated perfectly, like two dragons, tightly binding Elder Wu.

Although Elder Wu was very strong, he gradually began to feel the strain when facing the combined attack of two young masters.

While fending off the two men's attacks, he secretly observed Ye Shuli, plotting his escape.

"Li'er, take Jiang Ye and leave first! Leave this to us!" Young Master Lin shouted to Ye Shuli while brandishing his sword.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Elder Wu sneered, suddenly unleashing a powerful burst of spiritual energy that sent the two of them staggering back several steps.

"Today I'll show you what true strength is!"

"Let's go!" Ye Shuli made a quick decision, picked up Jiang Ye, and ran towards the family's forbidden area.

"Trying to run? Dream on!" Young Master Su reacted quickly, his figure flashing as he blocked Ye Shuli's path.

"Li'er, let me protect you!"

Not to be outdone, Young Master Lin followed closely behind, blocking Young Master Su's path with his sword pointed directly at him: "Brother Su, let me handle this. You just need to protect yourself!"

"Hehe," Young Master Su chuckled, "Young Master Lin, you're mistaken. Li'er is mine..."

"Mine? Brother Lin, have you misunderstood something? Li'er is my fiancée!" Young Master Su's smile remained unchanged, but his tone carried an undeniable firmness.

"Brother Su, are you talking nonsense? Between you and me, it's still unknown who is the right match for Li'er!" Young Master Lin was not to be outdone, his long sword humming and its aura intimidating.

The atmosphere between the two was tense, and they looked like they were about to fight.

Veins bulged on Ye Shuli's forehead as she mentally screamed: That's enough!

I'm about to die, and you two still have the mind to fight over me?

Don't you have any common sense?

"Shut up, both of you!" Ye Shuli roared, making their eardrums ring.

She held Jiang Ye in her arms, her sharp eyes sweeping over the two of them. "Is this the time for jealousy? Let's deal with that old bastard first!"

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

It has to be said that, in crucial moments, Li'er's queen-like demeanor is still the most effective!

Taking advantage of Elder Wu being held back by Young Master Lin and Young Master Su, Ye Shuli quickly slipped into the core area of ​​the family's forbidden grounds while carrying Jiang Ye.

This area is shrouded in a mysterious barrier, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.

However, Ye Shuli, relying on her family bloodline connection and the knowledge she brought from modern times, successfully broke through the barrier and entered.

The core area of ​​the forbidden zone is a spacious plaza with an ancient altar standing in the center, emitting a faint golden light.

Ye Shuli's heart stirred. Could this be the key to the family's inheritance?

She carefully placed Jiang Ye beside the altar, then walked to the center of the altar and began to observe him closely.

The altar was covered with intricate runes. Ye Shuli, with her modern archaeological knowledge, recognized these runes as an ancient script that recorded the secrets of her family's history and heritage.

"So that's how it is..." Ye Shuli murmured to herself, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She finally found it!

Just then, the runes on the altar suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli felt a powerful energy surge into her body, filling her with strength.

"It's done!" Ye Shuli was overjoyed. She felt the power of her family's inheritance, a power that was enough for her to fight against Elder Wu, or even more powerful enemies!

Suddenly, the space around the altar began to distort, and a mysterious passage slowly opened.

Ye Shuli was startled. What was this?

"Li'er, be careful!" Lin Shaozhu's anxious shouts came from afar.

Elder Wu broke free from Young Master Lin and Young Master Su's entanglement and charged towards Ye Shuli again with murderous intent, his speed almost like he was using nitrous oxide to accelerate.

Ye Shuli sneered, "That's it? I'm now cheating!" She mobilized her newly acquired inherited power, and a golden energy surged around her, like a burning flame, dazzling and eye-catching.

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert!" Elder Wu sneered disdainfully, unleashing his hidden ultimate move—"Bone-Corroding Soul-Destroying Palm".

A chilling palm wind, carrying an aura of corrosiveness, swept towards Ye Shuli, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Ye Shuli was fearless. Her inherited power erupted instantly, forming a golden barrier that neutralized most of the power of the Bone-Corroding Soul-Destroying Palm.

Then, she flashed and transformed into a golden light, launching an attack on Elder Wu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of energy colliding was deafening, like thunder, and the entire forbidden area trembled.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.

Although Ye Shuli gained the power of inheritance and her strength increased dramatically, Elder Wu was, after all, a veteran Spirit Venerable with rich combat experience and cunning. For a time, the outcome was unpredictable.

During the battle, Ye Shuli would occasionally glance at Jiang Ye lying beside the altar. Jiang Ye's face grew paler and paler, and his breath grew weaker and weaker, which made her anxious and unable to concentrate on the battle.

"Li'er, don't get distracted!" Young Master Lin and Young Master Su also rushed over and joined the battle.

The three of them worked together and barely managed to suppress Elder Wu, but Elder Wu smiled sinisterly and suddenly summoned a black magic artifact, which emitted a chilling aura.

"Oh no! This is..." Ye Shuli's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind.

"Li'er, be careful!" Jiang Ye's weak voice suddenly rang out. Ye Shuli turned around sharply and saw Jiang Ye struggling to get up and using all his strength to throw a jade pendant at her.

"Take this! This is..." Jiang Ye didn't finish speaking before he fainted again.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli caught the jade pendant, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Elder Wu sneered, "Die!" The black magic artifact emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful suction force pulled Ye Shuli towards it.

"Li'er!" Young Master Lin and Young Master Su exclaimed in alarm, wanting to help, but it was already too late...

"No! I won't lose!" Ye Shuli clutched Jiang Ye's jade pendant tightly.
