Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

Beneath the Bitter Love Tree in Tushan, Cui Yuling stood in the shade, pacing back and forth with an anxious expression and faint dark circles under her eyes.

In her quest to find clues about her younger sister, Cuiyu Mingluan, Cuiyu Ling has barely slept these past few days.

If Dongfang Haoyang still can't find her sister today, Cui Yuling will have no choice but to go down the mountain to find her sister herself.

At this moment, two figures walking from a distance caught her attention. When she saw that they were Dongfang Haoyang and Tushan Yaya, she was overjoyed.

"Little Taoist priest... ah, no, Master Taoist!"

Cui Yuling quickly flew over to greet her.

Tu Shan Ya Ya subconsciously raised her hands to block Dongfang Hao Yang, her bright eyes watching Cui Yu Ling warily.

Seeing Tu Shan Ya Ya's movements, Cui Yu Ling waved her hands forward, took a few steps back, and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't worry, Xiaoya, Sister Cui won't lay a hand on you."

"real?!"

"Of course! Sister Cui swears!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya felt slightly relieved when she saw Cui Yu Ling raise three fingers with great conviction and a very sincere look on her face.

Dongfang Haoyang smiled faintly. This little fox demon was still too easy to fool. He didn't care at all. At worst, he would just turn on the power if he found out that there was something wrong with Cuiyu Ling.

"Who swears an oath by raising three fingers, Chief Cui?"

Dongfang Haoyang gently placed his hand on Ya Ya's shoulder, who was staring resentfully at Cui Yuling, and looked at Cui Yuling with a teasing expression.

"Huh? Ah, my question... But could you keep your promise and help me find my sister?"

Cui Yuling raised four fingers, then rubbed her hands together with a submissive smile in front of Dongfang Haoyang.

"Yes, that's fine."

Dongfang Haoyang didn't waste any words. He had promised to open the domain again to help Cui Yuling find her sister once more, and naturally he wouldn't break his promise.

He formed the Bodhi Heart Mudra with his hands.

"Domain Expansion: The Court of Sin".

In an instant, the world turned black, and a barrier even blacker than pitch black enveloped half of this world.

Liu Er, who was still serving as a bodyguard for Hong Hong and Rong Rong in the Tu Shan Palace, was leisurely leaning against Rong Rong eating peaches when he sensed that terrifying aura. Instantly, his face turned pale with fright! He almost choked to death on a peach pit!

"Cough cough cough!"

"What's wrong?!" Tu Shan Rongrong saw that Liu Er's face was flushed from holding her breath, so she quickly patted her back, checked her over, and found the problem. She then used her fox spirit technique to remove the peach pit from Liu Er's throat.

"Six-Eared Sister, what's going on?!"

"Cough cough, I'm saved..."

Seeing Rongrong's worried expression, Liu Er immediately knelt down and hugged Rongrong's leg.

"Oh no, Rongrong, your boyfriend isn't trying to take me for granted, is he?! He's even opened up a domain for me now!"

Tu Shan Hong Hong and Xiao Yue Chu, who was secretly feeding Hong Hong a love-filled bento box, looked at Liu Er, who was kneeling on the ground and hugging Rong Rong's leg, with blank expressions.

Tu Shan Rongrong covered her lips and smiled, then helped Liu Er up from the ground.

"Sister Liu Er, don't panic. Young Master promised me that as long as you have no ill intentions towards Tu Shan, he will not hold a grudge against the past, and he will not harm you."

"Then, what's the point of him opening a domain...?"

Liu Er, somewhat skeptical, wanted to get close to Rong Rong to gain her favor, but was stopped by Tu Shan Hong Hong, who had a dark expression on her face.

You have to understand, the Domain skill is a secret technique used only by those at the Mahayana Realm, their ultimate trump card. If they're not used for elimination or a decisive blow, are they really going to use it to find someone?! That would be far too extravagant!

Unless you're at the Tribulation Transcending Realm or the Great Ascension Realm, activating a domain consumes a considerable amount of resources.

As for why Liu Er knew this, it's because her true form was at the Mahayana realm, but she had been asleep for even longer than her bratty younger brother.

Tu Shan Rongrong chuckled.

"Don't worry, Sister Six Ears, the young master is just fulfilling a promise, helping someone out, and finding an acquaintance."

Liu Er's lips twitched violently as he took an incredulous bite of the peach he had just picked up.

"Wow!? Your boyfriend is so extravagant?!"

"Opening a domain consumes a significant amount of mana..."

"Hmm? Does Sister Six Ears know anything about the domain?"

"Of course, my true form is also a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana Realm~"

Six Ears, hands on his hips, smugly pointed a finger and explained to the two demons and one person in front of him.

"To open such a large domain is a considerable burden even for a Mahayana Realm expert. Even my third brother used the domain as a last resort."

"Maintaining the domain requires an enormous amount of energy. Even a demon emperor's power is just a tiny splash once it enters; it's gone as soon as it's activated."

"I see..." Tu Shan Rongrong placed her hand on her chin and gently touched it, having gained a general understanding of the domain. Of course, she firmly believed that Haoyang would not be completely unprepared.

Because every time her childhood sweetheart opened a domain, it was like a game, and there was no sign of any consumption.

Actually, there's one thing Liu Er didn't mention: once you enter the Tribulation Transcending Realm, as your understanding of the Great Dao deepens and your own cultivation improves, as long as you don't fall from your current realm, the consumption required to open your domain will decrease exponentially.

After all, practice makes perfect, and the same goes for domains. Once you reach the Tribulation Transcending Realm, you'll have more killing moves and become thoroughly familiar with your domain, so you won't need to use much magic power.

Therefore, for Haoyang, who was hiding his Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivation, opening his domain consumed very little energy, only about the spiritual power of a few Demon Emperors. Moreover, maintaining the domain was the same; he could keep it open for a whole day without any problem.

Under the Bitter Love Tree outside, the cockroach-headed boy sensed the darkness that enveloped half the world. He sifted through the darkness one by one, and finally, on the border of the human territory thousands of miles away from Tushan, he sensed a similar demonic power.

"Found it!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yuling, who had been somewhat disheartened, instantly regained her light.

"Master Dao, you really found my sister!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya also looked at Hao Yang with a slight surprise.

"You stinky cockroach, you really found the Jade Phoenix?!"

The domain was instantly dispelled, and light returned to the world. People and demons in other places had become accustomed to this scene. The sky was sometimes dark and sometimes bright, and everyone regarded it as a natural wonder.

Dongfang Haoyang smiled faintly at the two women, released the Bodhi Heart Seal in his hand, and gently slashed the space in front of him with his palm! A white spatial rift appeared in the space, and on the other side of the rift...

It was Cuiyu Mingluan, who was happily playing in the water with her slender, jade-like feet. She was holding seaweed in her hand, watching the rippling river surface as she ate it in small bites, looking very relaxed.

"Emerald! Jade! Bright! Phoenix!"

The suppression emanating from her bloodline instantly froze Cuiyu Mingluan, who was in a good mood. But before she could turn around, a pair of jade hands grabbed her ears and dragged her into the crack behind her.

"Who, who attacked me... Oh?! Hehe, it's you, big sister~"

Seeing Cui Yuling's angry face, bulging veins on her forehead, and hands on her hips, Cui Yumingluan immediately knelt on the ground, cupped her beautiful face in her hands, and opened her blue eyes wide, trying to get away with being cute.

"Come on!"

Cui Yuling clenched her fists and punched her younger sister, who had been missing for half a year, until she got a big, smoking red bump on her head!

"Ouch, that hurts! You used to never hit me, sister."

With tears welling in her eyes, Cuiyu Mingluan poked her chest with her finger, her pink lips pouting with a resentful expression.

Dongfang Haoyang and Tushan Yaya, one human and one demon, exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, crossed their arms, leaned against the trunk of the Bitter Love Tree, and began to enjoy the spectacle.
