~ An extra chapter to thank Hedgeboar for the kofi đŠ ~
âYeah, because he was the one that met me first but I didnât accept him as my master.â
Venerable Li whoâd been happily watching this drama from inside the Sky Pearl was annoyed when he heard this. He jumped out, âIâm not jealous!â
Ye Chenyuan said calmly, âReally? Youâve previously said that if master was the one that you met first, you wouldâve let the Sky Pearl recognise her as its master. Do you still want master to be your disciple?â
Venerable Li was dumbfounded. After a while, he pointed at Ye Chenyuan bitterly, âDo you have to be so shameless? Just to coax your master, you revealed the private conversation between men!â
Ye Chenyuan looked up at him as he said indifferently, âYou didnât say that this was confidential.â
Seeing this, Yuan Chu could no longer contain her laughter. Ye Chenyuan was trying so hard to make her happy, he really saw her as his most important person.
She happily pulled on Ye Chenyuanâs hand as she said, âLetâs go! Donât we still have to head to the incense grounds?â
Everything was happy here, but the Yuan residence was shrouded in dark clouds.
Jin Rou had turned into a two hundred catty (100kg) fatty and her three-dimensional facial features had become flat and mediocre, to the extent that it could be called ugly.
At first, she had kicked up a fuss, saying that Li Yunniang was the one who had done this. She only stopped when the physician came and said that she was suffering from the dry bones technique.
Beauty to dry bones. The only purpose of this kind of vicious spell was to disfigure someone, and it also obstructed oneâs spirit veins, preventing one from raising their cultivation.
This was a spell that had been banned in the entire Heavenly Continent. There was a prerequisite for this spell, which was that only people who were at Astral Realm could use it.
After all, it was very difficult to seal someoneâs spirit veins without hurting them so it required a very high cultivation.
Jin Rou calmed down at the physicianâs words. There was no way that a rude and unreasonable woman like Li Yunniang who came from a small clan would be able to hook up with an Astral Realm expert. And for all these years, in order to make her life better, she had hooked up with numerous people, but none of them were at Astral Realm.
Astral Realm experts seldom bothered to make a fuss with âmortalsâ like them and the only place that could possibly send an Astral Realm expert to harm her in this way was Myriad Sword Sect.
At this thought, Jin Rou shivered in fright.
For so many years, the reason she didnât dare to leave the Yuan family was because she was afraid that Myriad Sword Sect would seek her out for revenge. She didnât think that after so many years of calm, they still finally came.
Jin Rou felt more reluctance than fear. Back then, she only intended to break up Yuan Zhixu and Moqi Tingyu because she had married the wrong man and when she later recalled how good Yuan Zhixu was to her, she wasnât willing to give him up.
She didnât expect her former husband to fight his way in, much less everything that had happened afterâŠâŠshe didnât think that Moqi Tingyu would die, that Yuan Zhixu would go crazy.
She had thought that all these were over. After all, the Yuan family was protecting her and that Myriad Sword Sectâs giant had also expressed his refusal, and that heâd never have any more contact. She didnât think that the other party wouldnât act openly but actually do something like that to her?
Was this revenge? This was simply making her live a life worse than death!
Jin Rou looked at her face in the mirror and a deep hatred appeared in her eyes.
She was from a small clan, and it was by no accident that she was where she was today. Wait and see, she definitely wonât admit defeat, absolutely not!

Yuan Chu and Ye Chenyuan arrived at the incense grounds. This place was considered a special small mystic realm that they could enter if they had the divine sword mystic realm token.
After entering, Yuan Chu realised that the place theyâd been transported to was a buddhist worship hall.
There were buddhist cultivators in this world, and even confucian cultivators, only that these people numbered in the few so this was the first time that Yuan Chu was seeing a buddhist worship hall here.
The entire hall was glittering, and it was very big, spacious and empty. The buddha on both sides were quite different from the ones sheâd seen in the modern times, but they were also solemn-looking and very exquisite.
Ye Chenyuan said, âMaster, should we go out for a walk or stay here?â
The incense grounds also contained treasures but the taking of an animalâs life was not allowed here. Moreover, most of the treasures would only be useful to buddhist cultivators so they wouldnât have much practical use for anything they found.
That was why Ye Chenyuan had asked this.
Yuan Chu wasnât very interested in this mystic realm. She said to Ye Chenyuan, âIf you want, you can go out for a walk. I donât feel like moving, Iâll just watch our bags here.â
Since Yuan Chu didnât feel like moving, Ye Chenyuan also didnât want to move. He said with a smile, âNevermind, weâre here to cultivate ourselves through meditation. Master, letâs cultivate?â
Yuan Chu didnât feel like cultivating right now either. She said, âGo ahead and cultivate, Iâll keep a lookout for you.â
Ye Chenyuan felt a little helpless. He abruptly questioned, âMaster, why do I feel like after you reached Astral RealmâŠâŠyouâve become even lazier towards cultivating?â
Yuan Chuâs expression froze for a moment. Little Yuan Yuan was too alert, even noticing her subtle rejection.
She started to act dumb, âIâm only this bigâŠâŠhow can I sit still for so long? You go ahead, donât bother with meâŠâŠâ
Saying this, she sat down and took out the snacks and book sheâd brought to pass the time, looking like she really didnât intend to cultivate.
Ye Chenyuan let out a soft sigh, âAlright, Iâll accompany master to keep a lookout.â
Yuan Chu looked at him dumbfoundedly, âDoes one need accompaniment when keeping a lookout?â
Ye Chenyuan said matter of factly, âYouâll be bored without someone accompanying you.â
Yuan Chu didnât know what to say. She nodded her head earnestly, âLittle Yuan Yuan, youâre the best disciple in the world, undoubtedly!â
Ye Chenyuan was very happy. He thought to himself that in the future, heâll also be the best husband in the world.
It was too bad that they wonât be able to have any peace for the next few days because not moving didnât mean that there wouldnât be any tests.
NightâŠâŠa dense fog poured into the magnificent buddhist hall. That fog was a green colour and it emitted a dim fluorescent light, making the warm buddhist hall appear somewhat creepy.
Ye Chenyuan immediately woke up with a start. He was unable to communicate with Venerable Li right now so he had been keeping his guard up the entire night. Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly carried Yuan Chu.
âWhatâs wrong?â Yuan Chu rubbed her eyes, then she asked, âHuh? What are these?â
It was both of their first time at the incense grounds. Ye Chenyuan shook his head, âIâm not sure. Master, seal off your senses, donât inhale these things.â
Yuan Chu nodded, then she said, âItâs so strange here, letâs go out.â
When Ye Chenyuan heard this, he headed outside with Yuan Chu in his arms, but it was at this moment that he heard a strange incantation.
He had definitely sealed his five senses yet this incantation was still accurately transmitted to his mind. He couldnât refrain from asking, âMaster, do you hear something?â
Yuan Chu shook her head, âNo, letâs go. The fog is getting denser!â Ye Chenyuan found it strange. He recalled the things that the principal had told him before. Heâd said that there wouldnât be any danger in the incense grounds but thereâd be many tests. Only those that pass the test could enter the divine sword mystic realm.
