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

"My destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of fate!" Ye Shuli shouted, trying to bolster her courage.

With such a formidable array of guardian beasts, they're definitely epic-level bosses. Anyone would be terrified, right?

But who is Ye Shuli?

Independent women of the 21st century!

Scared?

nonexistent!

The guardian beast gave her no time to react, and swept its tail at her.

Ye Shuli rolled on the spot, barely dodging the attack, but her cheek was still hit by the strong wind and stung.

Good heavens, with that kind of force, Ye Shuli suspected that if she were actually hit, she would be going to meet the King of Hell in another world on the spot.

"Little kitty, it's not good to be so grumpy!" Ye Shuli complained as she dodged, trying to disturb the guardian beast's mind.

But clearly, the guardian beast wasn't having any of it; instead, it became even more ferocious and its attacks became even more fierce.

Its enormous claws swung, stirring up eerie winds. Each attack seemed to tear space apart, leaving Ye Shuli exhausted and in a sorry state.

In the process of dodging, Ye Shuli's clothes were torn, revealing her smooth skin.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and her hand seals kept changing as she unleashed various spells on the guardian beast as if they were free.

Fireball, Ice Spike, Wind Blade...

The colorful magical light flickered, but it was like a tickle, causing no real damage to the guardian beast.

"Is that all you've got?" The guardian beast let out a disdainful growl, making Ye Shuli's eardrums ring.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a powerful suction force came from it. Ye Shuli felt like a leaf falling in a storm, and was involuntarily sucked into the guardian beast's mouth.

"It's over, it's over, Barbie Q is gone..." Ye Shuli closed her eyes in despair.

Where's the promised halo of a time-traveling heroine?

Why does it fail to work for her?

Suddenly, the suction disappeared.

Ye Shuli opened her eyes in confusion, only to see the guardian beast freeze for a moment, and something seemed to be flashing in its mouth.

"Huh?" Ye Shuli's eyes widened. "What is that..." Ye Shuli's eyes widened as the light flashing in the giant mouth of the guardian beast grew stronger and stronger, like a beating heart.

Wait, the heart?

A sudden thought flashed through Ye Shuli's mind, recalling a secret recorded in her family's heritage: the guardian beast was not invincible; its power originated from a gem within its body called the "Heart of the Spirit."

Once the Heart of the Spirit is damaged, the guardian beast will suffer a severe loss of vitality.

That's it!

Ye Shuli instantly understood that this guardian beast, though seemingly powerful, also had weaknesses.

She suppressed her overwhelming joy and carefully observed the location and pulsation pattern of the Heart of the Spirit, searching for the best opportunity to attack.

The guardian beast seemed to have sensed Ye Shuli's intentions and attacked even more frantically, its giant claws swinging relentlessly. Ye Shuli was in grave danger, suffering multiple injuries, but her gaze remained sharp, fixed on the Heart of the Spirit.

It's now!

Seizing the moment when the guardian beast was attacking, Ye Shuli flashed and appeared before its massive maw like a ghost.

She took a deep breath, mobilized all her spiritual power, and condensed a dazzling light in her hand, which was her strongest attack - "Star River Annihilation"!

"Break!" Ye Shuli shouted, and the light in her hand shot towards the Spirit Heart in the giant mouth of the guardian beast.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the guardian beast howled in agony, its massive body trembling violently. The Spirit Heart within its enormous maw dimmed, cracks spreading across its surface.

"Holy crap! Awesome!" A gasp erupted from the crowd watching from afar. This was a guardian beast that even a Spirit Venerable expert couldn't shake, yet it was injured by a mere Spirit Master!

Just then, three figures appeared almost simultaneously on the outskirts of the inheritance site.

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye saw Ye Shuli fighting bloody battle at a glance, and his heart ached terribly.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Li'er, keep going! You're the best! I love you!" His voice was so loud it was like a live megaphone; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was performing live at a concert.

Hearing Jiang Ye's voice, Ye Shuli felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

This guy is quite reliable at critical moments.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su also witnessed Ye Shuli's extraordinary feat, their eyes filled with shock and admiration.

"As expected of the woman I've set my sights on!" Young Master Lin said proudly.

"Sister Li'er is truly remarkable." Young Master Su smiled gently.

The guardian beast's roar gradually subsided, and it stood there unsteadily.

"Li'er, be careful!" Jiang Ye suddenly shouted, his tone urgent.

Ye Shuli's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head sharply, only to see the guardian beast...

As if in a final burst of energy, the guardian beast let out a deafening roar, burning with life force as it launched a final attack on Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli was caught off guard and was hit by the shockwave. She was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.

"Holy crap! This BOSS has a second phase?" Ye Shuli exclaimed, struggling to stand up, but felt weak all over and her vision blurred.

Just then, the guardian beast's massive body crashed to the ground, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating.

A dazzling light rose from where the guardian beast had disappeared, enveloping Ye Shuli.

As the light faded, Ye Shuli's figure also disappeared.

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye was extremely anxious and rushed towards the place where the light disappeared.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su followed closely behind.

Ye Shuli felt as if she had fallen into a kaleidoscope, with colorful lights swirling before her eyes and deep chanting sounds reaching her ears, as if they were calls from ancient times.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a mysterious and solemn hall.

In the center of the hall, a huge crystal ball floats, emitting a soft light.

The surrounding walls were covered with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura.

"This is... the core area of ​​the family's inheritance grounds?" Ye Shuli murmured to herself, her heart filled with shock and excitement.

She carefully walked to the crystal ball and gently touched it with her hand.

A powerful force surged into her body, and countless pieces of information flashed through her mind, giving her a deeper understanding of the connection between her family's heritage and the divine artifact.

"So that's how it is..." Ye Shuli's eyes gleamed with excitement, "This divine artifact actually..."

She was so engrossed in the mysteries of tradition that she couldn't tear herself away.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Shuli finally emerged from the place of inheritance.

She immediately spotted Jiang Ye, who was waiting anxiously, as well as Young Master Lin and Young Master Su, whose expressions were complicated.

She walked up to Jiang Ye, looked at him affectionately, and said, word by word, "Jiang Ye, I love you. It's always been you."

Jiang Ye excitedly hugged Ye Shuli tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

"Li'er, I love you too!" His deep voice was filled with happiness and contentment.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su were somewhat disappointed upon seeing this scene, but they could only accept reality.

After all, feelings are something you can't force.

"Congratulations!" Young Master Lin said generously.

"I wish you happiness," Young Master Su said with a smile.

A warm and touching atmosphere filled the air.

Just then, Ye Shuli sensed a strong killing intent...

somebody is coming.

The murderous aura, like a tangible blade, instantly tore apart the originally warm atmosphere.

Ye Shuli frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. These villains really are persistent!

"Oh, are you here as a group to get yourselves killed?" Ye Shuli said in a flippant tone, a playful smile playing on her lips, showing no regard for the invading enemy.

Having just absorbed the power of inheritance, she felt her body was filled with inexhaustible power, and she was just worried about where to vent it.

"Ye Shuli, hand over the divine artifact, and I'll spare your life!" A sharp voice shattered the silence. A group of men in black emerged from all directions, each with a ferocious expression, clearly not to be trifled with.

"Heh, a divine artifact? You think you're worthy?" Ye Shuli sneered, and with a flash of light, an ancient sword exuding a powerful aura appeared in her hand.

Mysterious runes flowed across the sword's blade, emanating a chilling aura.

"Go!" At the command of the leader of the men in black, the crowd swarmed forward, unleashing a barrage of spells and weapons at Ye Shuli.

"Well done!" Ye Shuli advanced instead of retreating, her figure weaving through the crowd like a ghost. She brandished her ancient sword, and wherever the sword light passed, screams and wails followed.

Her movements were as fast as lightning, and every attack was incredibly precise, instantly turning this rabble up into a chaotic mess, leaving them utterly helpless.

"Holy crap, is this even human?!" a man in black exclaimed in terror, his voice distorted.

"Too strong! Run!" The other man in black was so frightened that he wet himself and turned to run away.

"Trying to run? No way!" Ye Shuli sneered, and with a sudden swing of her ancient sword, a huge sword aura swept out, directly knocking away all the fleeing men in black. They crashed to the ground like kites with broken strings, spitting blood and completely losing their fighting ability.

"That's it? That's too weak." Ye Shuli looked at the groans on the ground with disdain, her tone full of contempt. This fighting power is practically kindergarten level.

"Go!" Seeing the situation was bad, the leader of the men in black shouted and led his remaining men to flee in a sorry state, leaving behind only a mess and a heart full of fear.

"Tch, how boring." Ye Shuli sheathed her ancient sword, shrugged with a look of unsatisfaction. These villains were too weak; it was over before they even warmed up. What a disappointment.

"Li'er, are you alright?" Jiang Ye quickly walked to Ye Shuli's side and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, it's nothing," Ye Shuli smiled slightly.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su also came over. Looking at Ye Shuli, they knew that this woman had become so powerful that they could not reach her level.

Ye Shuli felt the powerful force within her body, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"This is just the beginning..." she murmured, her eyes deep, as if gazing into the distant future, where a new storm was quietly brewing.
