Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 209 Jade Figurines
The man in front of me took off his wedding clothes and changed into casual clothes. He always had a smile on his face when he looked at me.

Obviously this is the extremely hateful Yun Yi!
The scene in Yun Yi's eyes also changed. The twelve brides suddenly stopped and turned into flying smoke, leaving only the real Suzaku.

Moreover, her wedding dress gradually disappeared, and she returned to her previous bold outfit with a strong Western style.

When Zhuque saw them, he asked, "Why did you take out the amulet?!"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "There's your scent in here. I want to see if I can sense you."

"Were you also hallucinating just now?"

"Well, I saw the twelve Suzakus clamoring to marry me, and before I could make a decision, they suddenly attacked and tried to kill me."

Yun Yi originally wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect Zhuque's pretty face to turn red after hearing it. It was obvious that there was something hidden behind this matter.

"What's the meaning of that expression? Could it be that... you weren't insane just now, and you attacked me because you were also hallucinating?"

Zhuque glared at Yun Yi and bit her red lips lightly.

Yun Yi asked curiously, "I'm a little curious about what you saw in your hallucination. Why did you suddenly start fighting and killing?"

Zhuqueya gritted his teeth and said, "I see us getting married. I, I can't help but want to hit you when I see your ugly face!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them felt a little awkward.

Yun Yi thought to himself that he was really nosy, asking so many questions. To ease the awkwardness, he took the initiative to open the amulet and said, "By the way, what on earth did you put in here? Why is there your scent?"

Seeing this, Zhuque became anxious and reached out to grab it.

But she was no match for Yun Yi. Yun Yi moved and easily avoided Suzaku's clutches.

However, after he saw clearly what was inside, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't help blushing. He quickly tied the small bag again and took back the Sumeru Ring, as if he was afraid that Zhuque would snatch it back in anger.

It was a strand of black hair tangled into a small knot.

Yun Yi never doubted what was inside. At the beginning, Zhuque only said that it was a talisman obtained from Crescent City, but he did not expect that it had another deeper meaning.

Although the cultures of Daxia and Dayan are somewhat different, even a piece of wood would sense that something is wrong when a woman gives away her black hair.

Zhuque was extremely angry but then calmed down, staring at Yun Yi with his two big eyes, which made people's necks feel cold.

Yun Yi coughed twice in a pretentious manner and said, "Yeah, thanks to your amulet, otherwise we might have to kill each other here."

"..."

"Well, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have played tricks on you with this kind of thing."

Perhaps because Yun Yi's apology was quite sincere, Zhuque took a deep breath, repeated it several times, and finally calmed down.

She said, "I don't want to argue with you. Let's move quickly. I guess those people from Tiancan Sect have already left."

Seeing her return to normal, Yun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "Don't worry, Paradise is full of traps. Those five shadows won't be able to move an inch here. We should actually slow down to avoid getting ahead of them."

"Why should we fall behind? What if they take the treasure away first?"

"Of course, I want them to help us avoid disasters and difficulties. As for the truly useful things, I won't leave them a single one."

Seeing that he was so confident, Zhuque stopped arguing and the two of them walked up the stairs to the attic.

On the way, Zhuque asked, "What was that hallucination just now?" Yun Yi explained, "This place is filled with joyful smoke. The white clouds around you are actually made of smoke."

Upon hearing this, Suzaku immediately covered his face with his hands: "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"There's no need to hide it. This thing isn't harmful to you or me. It just amplifies your emotions. The Hehuan Sect uses it to aid in cultivation. Only by maintaining your true heart at all times can you avoid being disturbed by external things."

"I was wondering why after coming in, I found you more and more annoying, and I couldn't help but want to kick you."

"Furthermore, this paradise is filled with the smoke of joy. There's no way to avoid it. We can only bite the bullet and adapt."

As the two were talking, they suddenly stopped at the same time.

I saw several figures appearing on the stone steps not far away, but they were all standing there motionless.

Suzaku: "Tian Can Clan?"

Yun Yi shook his head and said, "There's no sign of life up there, so go ahead and relax."

As they gradually approached the figures, they discovered they were actually numerous jade figurines. Crucially, these figurines were incredibly lifelike, and even though their faces were unclear, they could still be seen to be all handsome men and beautiful women.

If an intruder inhales too much smoke and becomes mentally unstable, these jade figurines will come alive from the hallucination and transform into murderous intent.

Yun Yi discovered that there were some broken jade figurines here, and said, "It must be the people from Tiancan Sect who triggered these jade figurines."

Suzaku also saw a trace of blood, "It seems someone is injured."

"Heh, this kind of illusion is most targeted at the cultivator's state of mind. Even if they are all in the Return to Void Realm, they haven't experienced the stage of inner demons yet. Facing this kind of illusion, they will definitely be stretched to the limit."

"You make it sound like you're not affected by illusions." Suzaku said, then suddenly realized: "Yes, it seems that illusions really have no effect on you."

Yun Yi smiled without saying anything, thinking that this was his second time in Paradise, and he had already been mentally prepared for the many arrangements here, so illusions and other mechanisms naturally had no effect on him.

On the contrary, the elders of Tiancan Sect are not so lucky. The joy smoke will continue to affect their minds, making them more and more violent, until they finally begin to lose the distinction between illusion and reality.

The only one who is called Ghost Face is special. He doesn't seem to be affected by the hallucinations, so we need to pay more attention to him.

After checking the jade figurine, Zhuque continued to move forward, but he was pulled back by Yun Yi just after taking half a step.

The steps were a bit slippery and she almost fell into Yun Yi's arms.

Although Zhuque was annoyed, he realized that Yun Yi would not do such a thing for no reason, so he asked, "Is there an ambush?"

Yun Yi's face was cold as he flicked his finger and released a stream of sword energy. This sword energy was not aggressive at all, but simply emitted a green light that illuminated the road ahead as soon as it was released.

I saw that the seemingly ordinary steps were actually covered with fine threads!

The thread looked almost colorless, and could only be seen clearly under bright light. However, it shone with a cold light, and it seemed not only to be laced with a deadly poison, but also to be extremely sharp.

Zhuque was completely unaware of it just now. If he had accidentally touched them, he would probably have been broken into countless pieces by now.

It is not an exaggeration to say this, as there are many jade figurine debris lying around at this moment, and the cross-sections of the wounds are extremely smooth.

Suzaku patted his chest in fear and said with lingering fear, "That was a close call."

Yun Yi glanced at her sideways, thinking that although some people may have no spring and autumn in their minds, they deserve the phrase "there are ravines in their hearts."
