Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

"Inside are what Liu Liu wants to say to Brother Su. If Brother Su doesn't open it himself in front of Liu Liu, will he even want to look at it anymore...?"

"..."

In order to better perform the spell later, and also to appease Xia Liuliu's emotions, Su Li decided to take a look.

Then, when you're halfway through reading, take advantage of her momentary lapse in attention and use a soul-searching spell on her!

Su Li tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter in her hand.

Su Li looked left and right...

"Huh? How come this is a blank sheet of paper?" Su Li asked in confusion.

At the same time, Xia Liuliu, who was in front of Su Li, smiled and took two steps back.

Her eyes shimmered with a golden hue.

“This is a blank sheet of paper.” Xia Liuliu winked playfully.

With a "whoosh".

The scroll in Su Li's hand suddenly broke free and opened abruptly in mid-air!

Meanwhile, Su Li's surrounding environment gradually changed.

As Su Li's consciousness blurred, when she came to her senses, she found herself in another world.

This world is the realm within that painting.

"who are you?"

Looking at the woman in front of him dressed in an imperial robe, Su Li felt a little nervous.

Drawing people into the painting—this technique, even for painters and cultivators, requires at least the Dragon Gate Realm!

But the other party was not only not a painter-monk, she wasn't even a monk.

She was the empress of the Qi Kingdom.

She is protected by the fortune of the mountains and rivers.

However, as a consequence of the constraints imposed by the laws of heaven and earth, an emperor's realm can at most not exceed the Cave Abode Realm!

The larger the dynasty, the more restrictions it imposed.

In a dynasty as large as Qi Kingdom, the emperor's cultivation level probably couldn't even reach the Furnace Building Realm!

"who am I?"

Hearing Su Li's question, Xia Liuliu was taken aback at first, then smiled.

"Of course I'm Xia Liuliu~ Brother Su~"

No, you are not her.

"Oh, how do you know I'm not her?"

"Liu Liu is not that kind of woman."

"So, in Brother Su's opinion, what kind of woman is Liu Liu?"

Xia Liuliu smiled and waved her hand, her expression a mix of teasing, disdain, and even mockery.

To be honest, Su Li suddenly felt that Xia Liuliu was really despicable! She really wanted to hang her up and beat her...

"I think that in Brother Su's and Brother's hearts, Liu Liu must be sensible, gentle, delicate, and in need of protection, just like a little kitten."

Xia Liuliu smiled and spoke.

Despite Xia Liuliu's smile, Su Li sensed an endless killing intent.

I don't know what grudge I have against her.

But Su Li knew that Xia Liuliu really wanted to kill him!

"Actually, this life is pretty good. It's like my previous life. I was born into an imperial family and have an older brother who loves me."

Although the struggle for the throne in the Azure Sky Kingdom is quite serious, it's still just a minor skirmish.

My impression of Su Li is actually not bad.

Even though you saw my body that time, I really wanted to kill you.

Even if it's just for my brother's sake, I still want to gouge out your eyes and cut off the arm that touched my body.

However, your actions in helping me escape later made me decide to let you go.

But there's nothing we can do; perhaps that's just how the world is.

You can blame me, or you can blame yourself for meeting her!

Chapter 309 feels a bit mysterious.

"Her? Who is she?" Su Li asked.

Xia Liuliu smiled and shook her head:

"Su Li, you really are lucky, you know nothing about this."

But it doesn't matter, maybe it's better this way.

Since you're going to die anyway, just die in ignorance; perhaps that's a kind of happiness.

Don't worry, I won't harm your soul; I'll let you reincarnate peacefully.

Although I hate you, you're not exactly a disgusting person.

In short, you're just unlucky.

I met someone I shouldn't have met.

Take a good look at me.

In the next life, no matter how many lifetimes you are reborn, if you still remember the things of this life...

Then you can take revenge on me however you want, I won't have any complaints.

By the way, you can also try to resist.

Su Li, don't say I didn't give you a chance.

Within this painting, our realms are all the same.

If you can defeat me, or escape this painted world.

Then, you might actually be able to survive.

I won't make things difficult for you anymore.

only......

Even if we're at the same cultivation level, if you want to survive against me...

It's very difficult.

As she finished speaking, Xia Liuliu raised her right hand, and the long golden silk sleeve swept across the girl's fair and delicate arm. In the world of the painting, golden spiritual power gathered in the female emperor's hand.

When the golden spiritual energy dissipated, a golden longbow appeared in Xia Liuliu's hand.

"The longbow in my hand is called Sunset."

Xia Liuliu gripped the longbow in her hand and spoke as if introducing an old friend.

In ancient times, there was too much sun, and crops didn't yield good harvests.

Many people starved to death in the streets, and there were even cases of cannibalism.

So I gathered some materials, forged this bow, and shot down nine golden crows.

Today, I will use this bow to send you on your way.

Don't worry, you won't feel any pain.

It's just a matter of a moment; soon, you'll be able to be reincarnated.

The moment Xia Liuliu drew back the golden bowstring, the intense heat of the world seemed to condense into that bowstring.

Golden arrow feathers, tinged with crimson, gradually coalesced, the arrowhead pointing directly at Su Li's heart!

Su Li felt that Xia Liuliu's words contained a great deal of information.

Ancient times?

Nine golden crows were shot down?

Reincarnation?

Could it be that Xia Liuliu is the reincarnation of some powerful being from ancient times?

Who was she in her previous life?

It couldn't be Hou Yi, could it?

No, no, that's not right.

There should be no Hou Yi in this world.

But there are nine golden crows?

Or perhaps, Xia Liuliu's past life was actually a female version of Hou Yi from her hometown.

"Never mind."

Su Li shook her head inwardly, deciding to stop thinking about it.

There's no use thinking too much now; surviving is the most important thing!

Let alone within this painting, where his and her realms were equal.

Even if I'm outside and my level of cultivation is inferior to hers, I still have to try to save myself. I'm not going to just sit and wait to die.

Of course, Su Li would never believe that Xia Liuliu was giving him a chance by pulling him into this painted world.

Xia Liuliu's killing intent towards him was far too intense; she didn't seem like the kind of person who would be soft-hearted towards others. She would suppress her cultivation level to be the same as everyone else's, in order to have a fair fight.

If Su Li wasn't mistaken, this must be the rule governing this painting.

This painting forms its own little world, and as long as one exists within this little world, the level of the two parties is determined by the lowest level.

And it's very simple to be free from the constraints of this small world's laws.

That is, one's own strength is strong enough.

However, Su Li guessed that even if Xia Liuliu was a powerful being reincarnated from ancient times, and even if she had memories of her previous life's cultivation, she would still need to start her cultivation from scratch.

At this moment, Xia Liuliu's cultivation level is definitely much lower than in ancient times.

Anyway, it hasn't reached the point where we can break free from the rules of the painting's boundaries.

Therefore, she can only reach the same level as herself at this moment.

As for why Xia Liuliu didn't kill him outside, Su Li guessed it was related to the "she" Xia Liuliu mentioned!

Su Li thought that Xia Liuliu was afraid that person would find out she wanted to kill him and then be stopped.

That said, who is "she"?

Is it someone close to you? Or is it your master?

I really can't figure it out.

Su Li then stopped thinking about it.

Su Li drew her weapon.

Almost every cultivator has their own preferred weapon.

Even traditional mages have staves that increase their mana.

However, this "staff" may appear in various forms.

For example, there are things like "Taoist whisks" and "Buddhist wooden fish".

Su Li doesn't currently have a weapon that he's most comfortable with.

Because no matter whether it was a longsword, a cleaver, or even a spiked club, Su Li just couldn't get used to using them.
