On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

In the ruined Peach Blossom Paradise, the peach blossoms have been swept away by the fierce wind, leaving only bare branches that look like withered ghostly hands reaching towards the sky.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Surrounded by a group of the most powerful female immortals in the primordial world, and under the pressure of a peak Quasi-Saint, Yang Chan, who was held captive in Su Bai's arms, stopped trembling.

She lowered her head, and her slightly disheveled hair covered half of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Just when the women thought she had resigned herself to her fate and were preparing to "take over" Su Bai, a chilling laugh suddenly came out from deep in her throat.

"Hehe... Hahahaha!"

The laughter grew louder and sharper, eventually turning into hysterical maniacal laughter that made the surrounding space vibrate.

"They're here...it's great that everyone's here!"

Yang Chan suddenly raised her head. Her once beautiful and refined face was now twisted into a near-grotesque shape, her eyes bloodshot and filled with a desperate madness.

"Since you're all here, and since you're so reluctant to leave your husbands, then don't go!"

"Let's...stay here together!"

"Buzz—"

Before she finished speaking, the Lotus Lantern, which had fallen onto the stone table and was now dimly lit, suddenly seemed to be summoned by some kind of sacrifice, and flew up and hovered above Yang Chan's head.

"puff!"

Without hesitation, Yang Chan bit her tongue and spat a mouthful of her life essence onto the lamp wick.

Not only that, the magical power within her body began to reverse, a sign that her life essence was burning!

"Boom!"

Nourished by its master's essence and origin, the Lotus Lantern instantly erupted with an unprecedented and eerie red light. This light was no longer gentle, but filled with an aura of destruction and devouring.

The passage, which was originally stretched open by the peach branches, began to twist and shrink wildly under the red light.

The walls of the entire small world are no longer for defense against external enemies, but have become an indestructible cage that is collapsing inward!

"Oh no! She's going to seal this place off!"

The Golden Spirit Mother's expression changed drastically. She unleashed a sword aura with her Flying Golden Sword, attempting to stop the barrier from closing. However, she discovered that the red light was like a persistent, insidious infection, capable of even devouring the Gengjin sword aura.

"Yang Chan! Are you crazy?!"

The Queen Mother of the West's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the Kunlun Mirror shot out a beam of divine light to suppress the restlessness of the Lotus Lantern. "Are you trying to drag everyone down with you?!"

"Death? No, this is not death, this is eternity!"

Yang Chan didn't care about this at all. Her body became somewhat illusory due to the burning of her source, but the madness in her eyes intensified.

"As long as this place is sealed off, no one can take my husband away. Don't you love him? Then stay here with us in this place, until the end of time, wouldn't that be better?"

"You bastard!"

The Queen Mother of the West trembled with rage, unleashing her full power as a Quasi-Saint at the peak of her cultivation, pressing down on Yang Chan without reservation. "You think you, a Quasi-Saint at the early stage, with just a Lotus Lantern, can trap so many of us? You're dreaming!"

"Yang Chan, out of consideration for your deep affection and the fact that you are a disciple of Goddess Nuwa, I will give you one last chance!"

The Queen Mother of the West took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in her heart, and said coldly, "As long as you stop now, dispel the restrictions, apologize to Su Bai, apologize to us... for the sake of our past sisterly bond, I can spare your life! I can even let you stay by Su Bai's side, even as a concubine!"

This is the Queen Mother of the West's bottom line, and the biggest concession she can make.

After all, if a fight were to break out here and ignite the small world, everyone would be covered in dust and dirt, and it might even damage Su Bai's very essence.

However, upon hearing this, Yang Chan reacted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Spare me? Out of sisterly affection? Be my concubine?"

Yang Chan pointed at the Queen Mother of the West, laughing until tears streamed down her face. "I, Yang Chan, am the Third Holy Mother of Heaven, a direct disciple of the Goddess Nuwa! Why should I ask for your mercy? Why should I become your concubine?!"

She turned around abruptly, her gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping over all the women present.

"My husband is mine! He's been mine from the very beginning!"

"Back then at the mouth of the Guan River, when the heavenly soldiers were chasing us, my family was destroyed and I was killed, he saved me! He carried me on his back as we fled for thousands of miles, he shielded me from all the swords and spears!"

Where were you then?!

Yang Chan's voice was harsh, filled with resentment and grievance.

She pointed at the Queen Mother of the West: "Back then, you were high above on Mount Kunlun, enjoying the worship of all the immortals!"

She pointed at the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit: "Back then, you listened to the teachings on Golden Turtle Island and received the utmost favor from the Sage of Heaven!"

She pointed at the Three Immortals: "You live a carefree and happy life on the Three Immortal Islands, how could you know the hardships of the human world?"

"Only I... only I stayed by his side, through thick and thin, struggling on the edge of life and death!"

"But what happened next? You all crowded around!"

Yang Chan completely lost control of her emotions. She gripped Su Bai's arm tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh. "Queen Mother of the West, you rely on the karma of your past life to bind him with the so-called three-life covenant! Jin Ling, you rely on your status as a master to trap him with the master-disciple relationship! The Three Immortals, you rely on your numbers to entangle him with the bond of Daoist companionship!"

"You are all glamorous and well-connected; you could easily snatch him away with a snap of your fingers."

"And what about me? What do I have?"

Yang Chan opened her hand, looking at the flickering Lotus Lantern in her palm, her eyes revealing endless sorrow.

"I have no prestigious temple, no large group of disciples, not even a single relative to speak up for me... My second brother is the God of War in Heaven, but even he can't protect my heart that desires to possess my husband exclusively!"

"I only have this one lamp, and this little world!"

"This is my only home, the only place I can keep him here! Now you want to destroy even this, and you expect me to apologize? You want me to become your concubine?"

"dream!!!"

With a roar, Yang Chan caused the red light of the Lotus Lantern to surge once more, and countless cracks began to appear in the space of the entire small world, a sign that it was about to collapse.

These words left the women speechless.

Although they were angry, they had to admit that Yang Chan had indeed been by Su Bai's side during his most difficult time. That bond of shared hardship was something they could never match.

Su Bai, who was imprisoned by Yang Chan, sighed deeply as he listened to this heart-wrenching accusation.

How could he not know Yang Chan's inner turmoil?

This seemingly gentle but actually stubborn and silly girl harbors deep-seated inferiority and insecurity.

The Guanjiangkou Incident left her with a deep psychological scar. The tragic deaths of her parents and brothers, and the relentless pursuit like a stray dog, etched the fear of losing everything into her very being.

That's why she wanted to grasp everything she could.

Su Bai was the only straw she could grasp in her life.

She was afraid of losing, afraid of being abandoned, afraid of being outshone by her dazzling rivals, which is why she acted so recklessly. Ultimately, it was nothing more than an extreme lack of security.

"Chan'er..."

Su Bai endured the excruciating pain of his magic power being sealed, and with great difficulty raised his hand to gently stroke Yang Chan's face, which was contorted with excitement.

"Stop talking, I understand."

Su Bai's voice was gentle yet husky, carrying a reassuring power, "I know you've been wronged, I know you're scared."

Feeling the warmth of Su Bai's palm, Yang Chan's frenzied emotions seemed to pause slightly.

She lowered her head and looked at Su Bai, the redness in her eyes fading slightly, revealing her original vulnerability.

"Husband... do you understand?" Yang Chan murmured. "Do you really understand? You won't leave me?"

"I won't go anywhere unless I leave."

Su Bai said softly, "Look at yourself, what have you done? Burning your own essence, damaging yourself drastically, is it worth it? If you get hurt, won't I be the one who feels the pain?"

"Stop, Chan'er. Let's talk this out. Everyone's here; any misunderstandings can be cleared up. As long as you stop, I promise no one can hurt you."

As Su Bai spoke, he secretly tried to manipulate the sealed laws of time. He could sense that, with the fluctuations in Yang Chan's emotions, the restraints imposed on him seemed to loosen slightly.

If he could just have a little more time and appease Yang Chan, he would be able to break the restrictions and regain control of the situation.

"Really?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yang Chan's eyes, and the murderous aura around her seemed to dissipate considerably. "Husband, will you really protect me? Even if they want to kill me?"

"Of course." Su Bai's eyes were firm. "You are my wife. If I don't protect you, who else should I protect?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan's body went limp, and she leaned against Su Bai's chest, like a child who had been wronged and finally found someone to rely on.

"My husband... I'm so tired."

As Yang Chan spoke softly, the light of the Lotus Lantern floating above her head dimmed, and the destructive fluctuations seemed to be subsiding.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Mother of Golden Spirits also quietly put away their magical treasures, their tense nerves relaxing slightly. It seems that this crazy girl still listens to Su Bai.

however.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, and Su Bai was preparing to break through the restrictions,

Yang Chan, who was leaning against him, suddenly raised her head.

A smile appeared once again on that tear-streaked face.

But this smile was no longer gentle, nor was it fragile; instead, it was a strange and resolute smile that froze one's soul.

"My husband, you are so good to me."

Yang Chan's fingers gently traced Su Bai's chest. "But... I don't believe it."

Su Bai's pupils constricted sharply: "What did you say?"

"I don't believe it."

Yang Chan giggled, her voice soft as if she were whispering sweet nothings, "My husband is such a liar. You deceived Buddha on Mount Ling, and you've deceived me so many times here. Your mouth can make the dead come back to life."

"If I stop now and those women steal you away, will you still remember me? Will you still try to coax me like this?"

No, it won't.

Yang Chan shook her head, her eyes flashing with an all-knowing madness. "Once you're free, you'll go back to them and become that high and mighty emperor again. As for me... I'll just become a madwoman, a joke."

"Buzz—"

In that instant, Su Bai was horrified to discover that the restriction, which should have been loosened, had become even more solid without him noticing!

Yang Chan had somehow completely broken free from his control over the laws of time, and even used his pity for her to reinforce the seal in reverse.

"You..." Su Bai was shocked.

"My husband, I already said that."

Yang Chan slowly straightened up and held up the Lotus Lantern, which had turned crimson again, with both hands.

"Since I cannot possess you entirely while I am alive, since this vast world cannot contain our love..."

"Then let's be together forever!"

She suddenly pressed the Lotus Lantern hard against her heart!

That is where she originated, and it is also the core hub of this small world.

"With my blood, I will refine heaven and earth! Origin, explode!"

Yang Chan's voice was shrill and resolute, carrying a sense of schadenfreude.

"Boom—!!!"

A destructive wave, a hundred times stronger than before, erupted from her body in an instant. This was no ordinary magical attack; it was a true self-destruction!

She truly intended to drag Su Bai, the Queen Mother of the West, everyone present, and even this small world, down to ashes!

"She's insane! She's really insane!"

The Queen Mother of the West screamed in terror and retreated rapidly.

But it was too late.

The light of destruction instantly engulfed everything.
