Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

The girl coughed up blood violently. She could feel that her internal organs had shifted, and at the same time, her meridians began to show signs of damage and breakage.

The punch landed squarely on Ye Yuchan's abdomen, the powerful impact sending her flying backward.

Perhaps it was her obsession with not wanting to lose that worked; just as the silver-haired girl was about to be thrown into the air, she quickly put away her magical artifact, Black Rain, and at the same time, she desperately grabbed Liu Kaige's sleeve with both hands.

Sizzle!

The sound of a Taoist robe being torn.

Liu Kaige felt a sudden weight on his arm, and he stumbled forward, almost losing his footing and falling into the abyss.

Ye Yuchan, with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, gripped Liu Kaige's thick arm with one hand and pulled at his Taoist robe at the shoulder with the other.

She didn't fall.

Not only that.

The spiritual root can still function, and the meridians are still relatively unobstructed.

Although Ye Yuchan felt as if her entire body was being pricked by countless needles while she was practicing her technique, she couldn't care less. She immediately used her arms to pull Liu Kaige down and used the force to throw herself up.

At the same time, she flipped over in mid-air, turning her back to Liu Kaige's astonished face, and landed precisely on Liu Kaige's broad back.

"Get down here!!"

With a sharp cry from the silver-haired girl, Liu Kaige was thrown forward, his face filled with disbelief, as he was kicked into the abyss.

……

Ye Yuchan didn't have time to adjust her center of gravity at all. She rolled several times on the snow and finally collapsed to the ground like a corpse.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

All the girl could hear was the howling of the cold wind. She struggled to lift her head, which was buried in the snow, and looked up at the dark and deep ravine.

It's over... right?

I didn't expect that in the end I would still have to rely on terrain to kill him...

She sighed deeply, then flipped herself over like a salted fish turning over, lying face down in the snow, and touched her badly injured area.

Her stomach ached terribly; her fair skin seemed to have been pierced by the opponent's Thunderous Body technique, leaving thousands of tiny bloody holes. Moreover, the displacement of her internal organs made her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit. Her meridians and spiritual roots were also damaged...

What about spiritual energy?

She used her inner vision to examine the spiritual energy within her body...

The phrase "exhausted and burnt out" perfectly describes Ye Yuchan's current state.

However, at least we won.

Because she was lying on her back, Ye Yuchan didn't need to move her perspective to see the huge number displayed directly above the secret realm—that was the remaining number of people.

【566】

"Looks like I'll have to find a place to hide for a while longer..."

She sighed helplessly, thinking of that guy named Xing Xiaobai and the group of "little fans" who kept chasing after her. She chose to use her hands to support herself and began to prepare to leave this place of trouble.

Click...

(Strange sound)

Click, click.

Ye Yuchan paused, staring wide-eyed at the edge of the dark abyss.

"Hey, seriously...?"

There is a hand there.

A hand that, while not as terrifying as before, was still surprisingly broad.

—Liu Kaige's hand.

"You bastard, you're not some kind of immortal being, are you...?"

She watched as the owner of the hand slowly climbed up from the edge of the rift. She saw with her own eyes that Liu Kaige almost crushed the snow-covered boulder at the edge of the rift and slowly lifted his burly body up.

It wasn't that Ye Yuchan didn't want to go up and kick him, but rather that she simply didn't have the strength at the moment—she even had trouble walking, let alone going up and kicking Liu Kaige down.

Fortunately, Liu Kaige, who climbed out from the bottom of the ravine, also looked like a dead man. His expression changed from his previous anger to an indelible paleness and gloom.

He looked quite weak, as if he had lost a lot of weight. After climbing up, he didn't move, but knelt down on one knee and collapsed on the spot, his hands hanging limply at his sides.

But his eyes were still filled with anger, and a hint of resentment.

"Woman...you are more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

"I should be the one saying that..." Ye Yuchan gasped for breath, desperately trying to recover her spiritual energy in order to be the first to push Liu Kaige back into the ravine. "I thought you were already dead."

Liu Kaige scoffed dismissively, "How could I, Liu Kaige, possibly lose to a woman like you?"

"If you said that where I'm from, feminists would drag you out and parade you through the streets..."

Ye Yuchan forced a laugh twice, then began to try to reason with Liu Kaige.

"Speaking of which, you probably don't have much spiritual energy left, right? How about we just call it quits and go our separate ways? I'm sure you don't want to be eliminated so quickly."

Indeed, Liu Kaige didn't want to be eliminated so easily.

His family's task for him was to enter the top thirty of the preliminary rankings. If he couldn't even make it past the second round, then he could forget about ever holding his head high in the Liu family again.

He absolutely cannot be eliminated, but he will also absolutely not give up.

Because Ye Yuchan, apart from her annoying fighting style, is otherwise quite to Liu Kaige's liking.

He continued to put on airs of a young master, coldly saying, "We can put aside the outcome of our competition for now, but there's one thing you have to promise me."

"What?" Ye Yuchan perked up immediately when she heard that the other party could hold off on fighting. "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I'll agree."

"Okay!" Liu Kaige nodded, then said very seriously, "Be my woman."

Ye Yuchan: "..."

So what exactly is this mentally unstable young master of the Liu family thinking?!

One second he punched me in the stomach, the next he transformed into a domineering CEO demanding I be his woman?

Is this some kind of melodramatic romance movie?

In response to Liu Kaige's extremely serious attitude, Ye Yuchan silently took out her magical artifact, Black Rain.

"If that's the case, I think we might as well have another fight."

"What a lunatic! Forget about being his woman, if it weren't for her depleted spiritual energy, Ye Yuchan would want to smash his forehead in the face as soon as she saw him, okay?"

Liu Kaige didn't seem to care about Ye Yuchan's rejection. Instead, he gave a rather wicked smile, as if he had Ye Yuchan completely under his control.

"Woman, don't be so quick to refuse. One day you will belong to the Liu family."

"Can you please stop calling me 'woman' all the time... I'm getting tired of hearing it."

"Heh..." Liu Kaige let out what he thought was a rather domineering chuckle, "You really are an interesting woman, no wonder you caught my attention..."

Ye Yuchan really wanted to smash your head with this bow right now.

I've never seen anyone so brain-dead.

Ye Yuchan used to think those were just jokes, but she never expected that she would actually experience the straight man's flirting techniques firsthand one day... She didn't feel honored at all!

Compared to this—

An unusual sense of power swept over him from one side of his face.

Ye Yuchan and Liu Kaige simultaneously composed themselves, turning serious and wary as they looked at the several figures that had suddenly appeared beside them.

Wang Dongyang smiled as he watched the two men who were now almost completely immobilized, toying with a small purple knife in his hand. Behind him followed a group of his fellow disciples from the Donghua Sect, as well as the short, hunched-over, and wretched-looking cultivator.

Xing Xiaobai.

He stood trembling beside Wang Dongyang, head bowed, adopting the same servant posture he had adopted when serving Liu Kaige.

"Hey, you two, you don't look too well."

Wang Dongyang spoke in a sly tone, his face full of sinister smiles.

"Do you two need my help?"

124. Moonlit War God

The appearance of Wang Dongyang made Ye Yuchan and Liu Kaige, who were fighting each other just a second ago, feel a sense of crisis at the same time.

It wasn't that this eldest disciple of the Donghua Sect had particularly strong cultivation or domineering strength.

Rather, it was the timing of his appearance that was too coincidental; he jumped out just when the two of them were powerless to resist and were barely clinging to life like candles in the wind.

Even Zhang Ruoxue could see this clearly.

— To take advantage of someone's misfortune.

Perhaps Wang Dongyang could have been defeated by Liu Kaige within three moves, but now Wang Dongyang can take his life with a single sword stroke.

Ye Yuchan, who was originally able to escape at lightning speed and easily shake off Wang Dongyang, was now running at a snail's pace even with all her might.

A complete disadvantage, or rather...

Dead end.

"Xing! Xiao! Bai!"

Liu Kaige uttered the name he loathed and hated, word by word, his eyes, filled with rage, glaring fiercely at the timid, short figure like a demon. "How dare you betray me!"

Even a fool could understand what it meant for Xing Xiaobai to be standing among the Donghua Sect disciples at this moment.

You must know that his battle with Ye Yuchan just now took only a blink of an eye, moving from the center of the snowfield all the way to the edge. The speed at which the battleground shifted was something that ordinary cultivators could not match.

The reason why Donghuamen and others were able to find us must be because Xing Xiaobai used his Heavenly Eye ability.

Ye Yuchan was still wondering how the group from Donghuamen had caught up with them, but upon hearing Liu Kaige's words, she immediately understood.

—So it was this kid who led the Imperial Army… oops, I mean, this group of people from Donghuamen here.

In an instant, two murderous gazes shot in from different angles, piercing straight into Xing Xiaobai's heart.
