Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 208 Paradise

The tentacles of the Mirage Pearl are warm to the touch, but in an instant they burst out with terrifying suction.

Yun Yi felt as if his internal organs were being pulled out of his throat, and the crisp sound of bones shifting in his ears echoed. Zhu Que, who had a lower level of cultivation, felt even more uncomfortable, nearly spitting out blood.

Fortunately, after a dizzying moment, this force inexplicably disappeared.

"Suzaku?" Yun Yi suddenly felt his left hand empty. He hurriedly opened his eyes to look, only to find that Suzaku had disappeared.

As he opened his eyes, this unfamiliar space suddenly became bright. First, there was a moment of clarity, and then the light became so bright that it seemed as if he had arrived in a mysterious fairyland.

From the glazed dome hangs three thousand weak streams, dripping jade beads that form lotuses in mid-air. A staircase winds upwards, flanked by shimmering jade trees. Where petals fall, the silhouettes of fairies loom.

In the distance, there are twelve floating islands surrounding a gilded palace. Copper bells hanging from the eaves sway gently in the wind, accompanied by a piece of piano music that has never been heard before.

"The Tune of Eternal Bliss?" Yun Yi searched his memories of his past life and immediately recognized that this was the place where the Hehuan Sect had once been based - Paradise.

To build this palace, the Hehuan Sect had expended countless precious materials and treasures. If measured purely by value, this place was no less impressive than Fusheng's Secret Treasures, each a unique "cave heaven" created only by a top-tier sect.

However, the most urgent task at the moment is to find the Suzaku who disappeared inexplicably.

In her previous life, Zhuque had already died at the hands of Nian Nujiao and did not participate in the fight for the Hehuan treasure, so Yun Yi had no idea what she would experience here.

However, he had asked Zhuque to practice the "Secret Book of Hehuan" a few days ago. It seems that Ji Le Tian would not make things difficult for her since she could sense the aura of a disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

Yun Yi was just thinking about this when he suddenly heard the jingling of rings and pendants coming from not far away. It turned out to be twelve women in wedding dresses walking barefoot on the clouds.

They wore red veils on their heads, with jewels and jade jingling in their hair, and their postures were graceful.

Yun Yi tried to step back and avoid it, but he felt the aura of "Fuyao Sword Intent" and realized that Zhuque was among these twelve people.

Therefore, he had no choice but to go forward, and in a blink of an eye, he was surrounded by twelve figures and trapped in a circle.

The women all said in unison, "Husband, why don't you lift the veil for me so we can drink the wedding wine together?"

Yun Yi felt quite a headache, thinking that he and Zhuque must have triggered the Ji Le Tian sect's protective formation. This formation was an illusion and would change according to the intruder's mood.

It is obvious that these twelve women in wedding dresses are the result of Zhuque's thoughts and ideas. No one knows what this girl thinks about in her daily life.

Could it be that she is old enough and in a hurry to get married?

Yun Yi looked around but didn't dare to act rashly. These people were clearly suspicious, and if he rashly lifted the red veil, who knew what would happen.

Little did he know that when he was extremely conflicted, what Zhuque saw was a completely different scene.

Red silk fluttered, joy filled the air. She wore a phoenix coronet and a red robe, and entered the bridal chamber surrounded by the crowd.

The embroiderer's exhortation rang in my ears and finally turned into sobs. In an instant, the room became quiet and I was left sitting alone on the edge of the bed.

She wanted to lift the red silk to look around, but she couldn't bear the shame and held back.

Then there was another burst of laughter outside the door, and a figure seemed to be pushed into the house. He smelled slightly of alcohol, but more of a familiar scent.

It is like pine resin, elegant and unobtrusive.

This is the smell of Yun Yi.

Zhuque was extremely excited, feeling the man gradually approaching him, and the aura he possessed was becoming stronger and stronger.

As the red veil was lifted, Zhuque finally saw the man's appearance clearly. He was indeed Yun Yi.

No, it should be said that he looked like Yun Yi. The man's eyes were full of affection and gentle as jade, what a gentleman.

But the question is, when has Yun Yi ever behaved like a gentleman?
That stinky man always turns into a riddler, keeps people in suspense, and when he succeeds, he has a smug smile on his face, which makes people grit their teeth and want to bite him twice!

The joy in Zhuque's heart suddenly disappeared, leaving only annoyance. She thought to herself, "This girl does like you, but it's not just because of your looks, and I will never marry you in such a ridiculous way!"

Do you think I'm just some random woman?
Anger surged in her heart, and she pulled out a small knife from under her skirt and stabbed him directly.

At the same time, on the other side, the real Yun Yi noticed that a bride next to him suddenly drew her knife and stabbed him.

He hurriedly grabbed the other person's wrist with one hand, and then found that the spiritual energy in his body was instantly tainted with a pink aura.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yi quickly let go and forced out the pink aura, realizing that this was the Hehuan Sect's specialty, the "Joyful Smoke".

Love is entangled, joy is like smoke, and I will forever ascend to paradise without envying the immortals.

These three things are the treasures of the Hehuan Sect that dominate the world of cultivation. Unexpectedly, they can be found everywhere in Paradise.

Yun Yi did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and immediately used his spiritual energy to create a strong wind, which dropped all the red veils of the brides. However, he did not expect that what was hidden underneath... were all "Suzaku".

There are twelve identical Suzaku birds, and it is impossible to tell which one is real and which one is fake.

But before Yun Yi had time to identify them one by one, these Vermillion Birds actually took out the "Golden Bell and Red Silk" and threw them towards Yun Yi together.

The Golden Bell and Red Silk are the Suzaku's natal magic weapon, and its use is varied. The endless red silk covers the sky, while the Golden Bell hides in the dark and launches sneak attacks from time to time, which is really annoying.

While resisting the attack, Yun Yi was thinking about how to resolve the situation.

Suzaku was still at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, so Yun Yi had no difficulty dealing with her. However, he didn't dare to use too much force, fearing that he might injure the real Suzaku.

According to her personality, if she was really beaten and hurt, she would definitely be furious when she woke up.

The problem is that no one knows what Zhuque saw in the hallucination. Every move he made was aimed at Yun Yi's vital points, without mercy, as if the two of them had some blood feud.

Yun Yi pondered for a long time, and suddenly took out a talisman from the Sumeru Ring.

There is the aura of Suzaku on it. I believe that the real Suzaku will look at it differently!
In the illusion, Zhuque was trying his best to chase and kill the fake Yun Yi in front of him, but unexpectedly he saw him reveal a talisman.

She stopped abruptly, her eyes full of disbelief.

In the Sword Burial Valley, only Xiu Niang and Song Xinci knew Zhuque's life story. She was originally an ordinary child in the Great Yan Dynasty.

However, he was accidentally involved in a disturbance and was finally taken back to the Burial Sword Valley by the embroiderer and taken in there.

According to the custom of Dayan, a lock of the hair of the praying person is placed inside the "peace amulet", which is intended to protect the wearer from peace, joy and worry.

If you go deeper, it also means to protect the other person from disasters.

Therefore, for the children of Dayan, the amulet is not an ordinary thing that can be given away casually.

When Zhuque gave away the amulet in Crescent City, he actually had some intention of expressing his true feelings.

As a sister who grew up with Zhuque, Song Xinci naturally understood this custom, so she seemed a little disappointed after Yun Yi received the amulet.

"Amulet..." Zhuque's mind suddenly became clear and he found that the scene around him began to change.
