The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Shen Yifei greeted everyone and flew alone towards the Xuanbing Palace.

The Xuanbing Palace is located in the Western Regions, tens of thousands of miles away from Mount Cangwu. Shen Yifei, now at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm, flies several times faster than before, arriving in half a day.

The Xuanbing Palace is situated in a glacier. From a distance, the ice-blue palaces stand atop the snow-capped peaks, beautiful yet chilling.

Shen Yifei landed outside the palace gate. The female disciple guarding the gate saw the newcomer, asked about the situation, and quickly went inside to report.

Soon after, Leng Rushuang came out to greet her.

She looked the same as before, her face veiled, wearing an ice-blue dress, exuding a cold and aloof aura. But Shen Yifei could tell that her gaze towards him had softened considerably.

"Why are you here?" Leng Rushuang's voice was still calm, but it carried a hint of barely perceptible joy.

"I missed you, so I came to see you." Shen Yifei chuckled and reached out to take her hand.

Leng Rushuang tried to dodge, but failed and was grabbed by his hand.

"Someone is watching," Leng Rushuang whispered.

"So what if I'm looking? I'm touching my wife's hand, who can stop me?" Shen Yifei said casually, pulling her inside.

Leng Rushuang blushed slightly, but she didn't struggle anymore and let him pull her into the palace.

The female disciples of Xuanbing Palace were all incredulous when they saw it.

Her own cold and aloof palace mistress, who always kept everyone at arm's length, seemed to have become a completely different person when she met this man.

Who is this man? How can he have such great abilities?

The two sat down in the side hall. Leng Rushuang removed her veil and poured Shen Yifei a cup of tea. Shen Yifei looked at her stunningly beautiful face, and his heart fluttered.

He first pulled Leng Rushuang into his arms and began to kiss her wildly.

After a long while, Leng Rushuang gently pushed him away. "Speak, what brings you to the Xuanbing Palace?"

Shen Yifei chuckled and sat down opposite her. "What's wrong? Can't you come see your wife if there's nothing wrong?"

"You, Grand Master Shen, are so busy with affairs of state, one today and one tomorrow, how could you possibly have time to come see me?"

Shen Yifei immediately understood from Leng Rushuang's words that Lin Ruonan and the others who had returned from the secret realm had already reported the situation to Leng Rushuang.

He hurriedly explained, "Ru Shuang, she's in the secret realm..."

Leng Rushuang waved her hand, stopping him from explaining further, and said, "Tell me about your happy event on the eighth day of next month!"

When Shen Yifei heard Leng Rushuang say "the happy event on the eighth day of next month," cold sweat immediately poured down his back.

He had planned to tell Leng Rushuang about this, but first there was the affair in the secret realm, and then the marriage to Ao Ying. He was put on the defensive in both of these matters, as she had already figured him out completely.

The Xuanbing Palace's intelligence work is not to be underestimated; there might even be spies from the Xuanbing Palace among the newly recruited disciples of the Tianyan Sect.

Thinking of this, Shen Yifei thought of the Golden Crow Sect; they would definitely do the same.

My every move may be under the surveillance of the Golden Crow Sect.

Seeing that Shen Yifei didn't speak, Leng Rushuang thought he was pretending to feel guilty, so she smiled and said, "You don't need to feel guilty towards me. I don't mind at all. If I did, I wouldn't have stayed with you for half a month."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei was deeply moved and immediately wanted to pin Leng Rushuang down on the table and punish her on the spot.

Leng Rushuang clearly didn't give him that chance, gently pushing him away, "You're marrying the Dragon Palace princess on the eighth of next month, as her older sister, I should at least prepare a congratulatory gift, shouldn't I?"

"Sister?" Shen Yifei was taken aback. "When did you become my sister?"

"What, can't I be your older sister?" Leng Rushuang rolled her eyes at him. "Age-wise, I'm hundreds of years older than you, old enough to be your grandmother. Calling you 'little brother'—are you at a disadvantage?"

Shen Yifei chuckled, "I won't lose out, I won't lose out. Sister is great, sister is wonderful, sister is awesome."

Leng Rushuang was both amused and annoyed by his shameless behavior. "Alright, stop joking around. Since you're here, stay at Xuanbing Palace for a few days, so I can show you some hospitality."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei nodded repeatedly, "That would be great, I'd also like to take a look at your boudoir."

Next, Shen Yifei stayed with Leng Rushuang for two days. During those two days, the two of them were inseparable and very affectionate, except that Shen Yifei was no longer at a disadvantage.

On the morning of the third day, Shen Yifei prepared to say goodbye and go back.

Leng Rushuang escorted him to the palace gate, took out a jade box and handed it to him, "This is a congratulatory gift for you, a pair of jade bracelets, which can withstand one attack from a peak Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator."

Shen Yifei took the jade box, opened it, and glanced inside.

Inside were a pair of ice-blue jade bracelets, engraved with runes and faintly shimmering with light; they were clearly not ordinary items.

"What a treasure!" Shen Yifei put the jade box into his storage ring and chuckled. "I'll definitely wear this gift from my sister all the time, even when I sleep."

Leng Rushuang rolled her eyes at him. "Stop talking nonsense. These jade bracelets took me thirty years of painstaking effort to make. They could save your life in a critical moment, so don't take them lightly."

"Don't worry, sister. My life is precious, and I'm saving it to come back and serve you." Shen Yifei took a step closer and lowered his voice. "After I'm done with this busy period, I'll come to Xuanbing Palace to stay with you for a few days."

Leng Rushuang's ears turned slightly red. She didn't reply, but gently pushed him, "Let's go quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."

Shen Yifei chuckled, turned around, and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Cangwu Mountain.

After flying for about half an hour, Shen Yifei was planning how to arrange the wedding procession when he got back.

Suddenly, not far ahead, a figure was suspended in mid-air, with its back to him.

She was a woman, and a woman with a rather good figure.

She had an extremely alluring figure, wearing a long, bright red dress that fluttered gently in the wind, revealing her snow-white calves. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, the strands dancing lightly in the breeze.

Just by looking at her back, you can tell she's an absolute beauty.

Shen Yifei frowned slightly. There must be something strange about this woman appearing in front of him now!

"Young lady," Shen Yifei cupped his hands in greeting and tentatively asked, "what can I do for you that you've blocked my way?"

The woman slowly turned around.

The moment Shen Yifei saw that face, he was completely stunned.

This was a young woman with a natural allure in her eyes and brows, her phoenix eyes captivating and alluring, and a touch of nobility in her natural grace.

The worst part was that she was wearing a bright red tulle dress with a very low neckline, revealing her snow-white skin on her chest.

Standing there, she resembled a burning flame or a blooming poppy, her beauty exuding a deadly allure.

"You are Shen Yifei?" the woman asked, her voice soft and seductive. Shen Yifei felt half of his body go numb just from hearing her voice.

Shen Yifei steadied himself, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "My name is indeed Shen Yifei. May I ask how you are addressed, young lady?"

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, a sound as melodious as silver bells, a glint of cunning in her eyes.

"My name is Su Yunzhao."
