Seeing Yu Zhen Again

Unlike the time when one of them was conscious, You Su and Ji Xueruo were now struggling to resist the alluring fragrance emanating from inside the water beast's cavity.

With a formidable enemy at hand, no one dared to faint like that.

Slippery, sticky mucus; narrow, warm cavity walls.

Entwining, caressing, drawing circles...

The two were like two bars of soap made from sacred mountains; the friction between them produced an even thicker liquid.

You Su hadn't expected this to happen, so she could only silently recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra in her mind to purify her thoughts.

He resembles Fahai from the novel "Green Snake," while his older sister Ji Xueruo is like the extremely seductive Xiao Qing.

The fact that she couldn't see anything inside the water beast's cavity provided a unique kind of stimulation. Ji Xueruo felt as if she had become blind as well, and the sensations on her skin became several times stronger. You Su's rough breath hit Ji Xueruo's face, and she bit her lip with a look of disgust, yet her alluring eyes were captivating.

After noticing a hard object pressing against her lower abdomen, she, having already experienced the power of You Su's Swordsmanship, immediately understood what this suddenly swollen thing was.

"You... stay away!"

You Su tried her best to expand her abdomen, but to no avail. She could only squeeze out a few words through her clenched teeth:

"I want to too..."

Fortunately, the water beast moved swiftly, and the beautiful moment passed quickly, allowing both of them to remain Qingming Festival -headed until the very end.

With a "pop," the two were spat out by the water beast. The water beast seemed to choke and even opened and closed its mouth a few times.

The Little White Fish also swam out. The water beast couldn't speak, but the little white fish understood its meaning. It looked at the disheveled boy and girl lying on the ground and clicked its tongue in amazement:

"You two are so close, it's making my little bug choke."

Ji Xueruo looked a little embarrassed and said reproachfully, "If you keep teasing people on purpose, you can forget about being the Water God!"

As she spoke, she tried to wash off the stickiness from her body.

"Tch!" The Little White Fish swam over to the two of them and reminded them, "I'm doing this for your own good. The 'Dragon Saliva' in my little bug's belly is a rare and precious fragrance, the essence of the spiritual energy of the Jade Ring Pool, with many wonders. Instead of absorbing this Dragon Saliva, you want to wipe it away. You're really ungrateful for my good intentions."

Upon Ji Xueruo retorted, "If that's really the case, why didn't you say so earlier?"

The Little White Fish glanced at her disdainfully and said, "If I had told you earlier, wouldn't you have been sucked dry by the little bugs?"

"Miser."

Ji Xueruo rolled her eyes and began to circulate her Cultivation Method to refine the rare Dragon Saliva on her body.

As expected, as Ji Xueruo refined the liquid, she felt completely refreshed. Every pore greedily absorbed the viscous fluid, and all her fatigue vanished. She immediately returned to her peak condition.

If a creature that merely resembles a dragon can possess such potent effects from its 'Dragon Saliva,' then what must real Dragon Saliva truly be like?

After the refining was complete, the sticky and nauseating feeling disappeared, replaced by a feeling of refreshment, and even the skin became more plump and radiant.

Ji Xueruo slowly opened her eyes and realized that they had returned to the black pool where Yu Zhen had brought her to offer sacrifices.

Having finished his rest, You Su stood by the Black Pool, quietly gazing down.

He couldn't see the deep, black water, of course; he only wanted to see the corrupted divine Divine Beast hidden beneath it, but all he could see was profound darkness. He couldn't even tell if this was an illusion before his eyes or if the pool was truly that black.

Ji Xueruo slowly walked to You Su's side and also looked at the black pool. This black pool was like a flat black mirror, and it was impossible to see anything underwater. The only thing that could be seen was her own vague reflection.

"The hidden earth is underwater; if you jump in, you can enter his illusion."

The Little White Fish swam on the surface of the pond, its body glowing with a pure white fluorescence, making its reflection in the water clear.

"I don't know what you'll encounter in his illusions, but remember, his illusions can definitely be broken. You must search patiently... Only in this way can you bring back those who are lost within them."

"If you're ready, jump together. Those evil people outside won't just sit and wait to die. And I can feel that Zangtu is about to break free of his restraints..."

The Little White Fish's girlish voice seemed to have aged considerably in an instant. It was as if the two young people at the Spirit Platform Middle Stage were facing an evil spirit that had lived for thousands of years, and it still felt somewhat unsure of itself.

Ji Xueruo and You Su exchanged a glance, as if they could both see the determination in each other's eyes.

"Hand."

Ji Xueruo's clear, cold voice suddenly rang out, her black hair dancing without wind, giving her an air of ineffable nobility.

You Su paused for a moment, then slowly raised her hand and took Ji Xueruo's hand.

Ji Xueruo's hands were soft and boneless, but this familiar yet unfamiliar touch gave You Su great encouragement. In the face of crisis, the pressure of facing it alone is vastly different from that of facing it together.

You Su grabbed Ji Xueruo's hand tightly, and the two were so in sync that they didn't even need to shout any slogans before leaping into the air and plunging into the dark pool.

As they continued to fall, the pitch-black water seeped into their seven orifices and filled their cavities, causing their consciousness to begin to fade, but their tightly clasped hands remained inseparable.

Ji Xueruo felt herself being embraced in a firm embrace. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the boy's pouting lips so close to her.

!

Ji Xueruo reacted extremely quickly, immediately flipping over to her feet. The sharp claw formed by the Technique Method reappeared in her hand, and she once again thrust it straight at You Su's neck.

This time, however, he failed to pierce You Su's throat and was instead stopped by him, unable to advance even an inch.

"It's fake again!"

Ji Xueruo shouted angrily. With her right hand trapped, she used her left hand to Hand Seals, and a blazing flame swept towards You Su.

Startled You Su stepped back and hurriedly drew his Ink Pine Sword, unleashing several mysterious sword flourishes to extinguish the flames completely.

"It's true, Miss Ji!"

You Su hurriedly tried to explain.

"Oh!"

Ji Xueruo wouldn't believe it so easily. When she woke up, she saw You Su, who had just been looking serious, preparing to take liberties with her. It was hard for her not to doubt the authenticity of this You Su.

As soon as she finished speaking, several eerie white snakes coiled around her hands. They bared their teeth and flicked their tongues, revealing their tender red mouths, making Ji Xueruo's hands look like a cluster of white and red roses blooming.

You Su frowned deeply, raised his sword, and stood ready for Ink Pine Sword.

In the blink of an eye, the white snake flashed by like lightning.

You Su used several moves of the Mandarin Sword, his Swordsmanship was like a hawk hunting in the sky, breaking the white snake one by one.

But the white snake, though broken, did not die; it transformed into several small, fine white snakes and circled around it.

Unwilling to fight any longer, You Su gripped his sword with both hands, channeled his energy into his legs, and used the Ruyi Wind-Controlling Technique to leap high into the air, escaping the encirclement of the little white snakes.

Ji Xueruo's next Technique Method was already in place; it was the same exploding water bullet that had previously killed the fake You Su.

"Miss Ji! It really is me! I know your lower back is extremely sensitive! Even a slight touch will make your whole body tense up!"

You Su shouted anxiously.

Upon Ji Xueruo was so angry she almost choked. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she didn't stop even after hearing this secret. Instead, she continued to fire the powerful water bullets.

As if sensing something, You Su's eyebrows relaxed, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The water bullet grazed past his temple and slammed into the stone wall behind him, knocking down a large amount of rubble.

"It seems you really are Miss Ji." You Su's face showed a look of relief.

Ji Xueruo glared at You Su and said angrily, "If anyone else knows what you just said, you're dead for sure!"

You Su could only scratch his head and force a smile; this was indeed a secret he had accidentally discovered on Ji Xueruo during their dual cultivation that day.

Ji Xueruo ignored him and began to observe her surroundings.

This is indeed not a feat that humans could create. No matter how magnificent human architecture is, it will not abandon intricate details, but this palace is different. You can feel its roughness, but you can also feel the overwhelming grandeur and magnificence that is about to overflow from this palace.

This is the underground palace that Tibetan Heart's Blood built, and he was imprisoned here for over a thousand years.

The Evil Qi seeping from the palace was like a runaway ghost, bringing with it a foul and damp, chilling wind that blew onto Ji Xueruo, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

Is this an illusion, or reality?

Ji Xueruo somewhat incredulous.

You Su couldn't tell either; he hadn't opened his eyes, yet he could see the eerie, magnificent palace. He walked towards the palace:

Let's take it one step at a time.

Ji Xueruo and followed, saying:

"Explain yourself first, why did you do that just now?"

You Su remained silent for a while, as if she found it difficult to speak:

"Before that, I saw many versions of you, and without exception, they all wanted to kiss me. I knew that couldn't be the real you. I couldn't cut them off, so I took the initiative to please them, and sure enough, they all gave in on their own. It wasn't until I was dodged just now that I finally met the real you."

"So... you and my illusion have kissed many times?"

Ji Xueruo always manages to discover the blind spots that You Su least wants her to notice.

"Just a fake body..." You Su chuckled awkwardly.

Ji Xueruo ignored her, but what she was thinking was, why did You Su think that the person who kissed him first wasn't the real her?

Just as her thoughts were racing, she suddenly felt a cool sensation on the tip of her nose, and she immediately shouted:

"Don't move!"

You Su Suleng stood there, somewhat confused:

"What's wrong?"

"Calm down and feel it..."

You Su Sujian frowned slightly and opened his Divine Sense to the fullest. He was astonished to find that the path ahead was covered with tiny threads, densely packed like an airtight net, separating them from the underground palace ahead.

These lines are almost imperceptible without Divine Sense, suggesting that spiders had already laid their deadly webs here long before they arrived.

Ji Xueruo very cautious. She quietly took a step back with You Su in her hand and casually threw out a talisman. This light paper talisman was actually cut into pieces the moment it touched the silk thread.

The silk thread trembled slightly, and finally reached its end, revealing a man's ten fingers.

Yu Zhen still had that clear and handsome appearance. He slowly walked out of the shadows with a faint smile, his ten fingers connected with countless strands of Mystic Qi that had been transformed into blades.

"Yu Zhen!"

When Ji Xueruo saw the person who came, her beautiful eyes seemed to spit fire.

Yu Zhen didn't become food for the Tibetans; instead, she survived perfectly well.

"Miss Ji, Young Master You, how have you been?"

Yu Zhen opened her arms wide, as if greeting an old friend.

Although Yu Zhen was not aggressive at all, You Su still looked solemn because Yu Zhen had changed in his mind.

If Yu Zhen, who had previously reached the peak of the Water Condensing Upper Realm, made You Su feel like he was an unshakeable tree, now he was like a boundless ocean. Its vastness made You Su's heart pound.

"What should we do?" Ji Xueruo asked softly.

You Su gripped the sword hilt tightly; he was unusually calm at this moment.

Have you ever seen someone at the lower realm of the Feather Transformation stage?

Ji Xueruo didn't understand what he meant, but You Su continued, "I've seen him before. He was the old city lord of our Chuyun City. I was very weak back then, and he beat me to a pulp. But he wasn't as imposing as Yu Zhen is now... So Yu Zhen is definitely more than just a lower-level Transformation Realm cultivator."

Ji Xueruo exclaimed in surprise, "You mean... he's a fake!"

The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through. In just two days, even Innate Dao Body could not possibly leap from the Water Condensing Upper Realm to the lower realm of the Feather Transformation Realm.

You Su nodded, but to her surprise, Yu Zhen burst into laughter, causing the surrounding spiderwebs to vibrate and shimmer with a cold, silvery light.

"Whether I'm a fake or not, you'll find out soon enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the countless blades of light tightened like a net, threatening to slice the two of them into tiny pieces of flesh.

If it truly is an illusion, then as long as the two don't believe it, the razor threads won't be able to harm them in any way.

But just as the blade was about to touch You Su's sword, every muscle in You Su's body urged him to react. You Su, who was forcing himself to move, seemed to see himself turning into a bewitching blood flower. He could no longer endure it. Don't Cower Sword Intent and swung his sword, severing most of the blade.

He protected Ji Xueruo very well, but he was also affected by several shards of broken blades, which tore off several pieces of bright red flesh. The deepest wound was on his left forearm, where the arm bone was even faintly visible.

The excruciating pain nearly rendered You Su speechless, but Yu Zhen was in no hurry to capture his prey. He strolled confidently, muttering sarcastically:

"Isn't Young Master You a rising star in Way of the Sword? How did he get injured like this by this old servant? It seems the swordsmanship taught by Lotus Sword Venerable isn't all that great after all."

You Su braced himself with his sword, regretting why he hadn't dared to gamble. Illusions only become real if you believe in them, so if the threads of the knife were truly fake, they appeared real because of You Su's dodge.

Ji Xueruo was equally anxious. She secretly cast Technique Method, and several white snakes slid along the ground. She had already observed the distribution of the blade threads, and the ground was the only oversight!

However, this Technique Method couldn't shake Yu Zhen, who Water Condensing Upper Realm, so it naturally posed even less of a threat to him now that his strength had surged!

With just a slight movement of his fingers, Yu Zhen guided the blades, instantly shredding the white snake to pieces, leaving it no chance to even transform into a smaller snake.

Ji Xueruo stared blankly at the blade threads, murmuring:

"They are real..."

When she released the white snake, she had already mentally prepared herself, convinced that the threads of the blades were all illusions, but it was still to no avail.

You Su gritted his teeth. He had thought he would be defeated by the illusion of the Tibetan land, but he never thought he would die before he even challenged the Tibetan land!

How could You Su give up so easily? His flesh and blood responded to the surging emotions in his heart, giving him unparalleled power. The ink sword swirled up, like a wild brushstroke, but this time, it couldn't even cut a single blade.

Sometimes they are as sharp as metal, and sometimes as soft as cotton thread. No matter how much force You Su uses, she cannot affect them in the slightest.

Several more new wounds appeared on You Su's body, as if Yu Zhen wanted to cut off pieces of his flesh. He enjoyed the process of devouring his opponent, even though his opponent was two juniors.

"Give up... Become the Water God's food in peace, at least for now you won't have to endure despair and pain anymore."

Yu Zhen was like a high and mighty god, bestowing his mercy.

Ji Xueruo tried countless methods to launch a sneak attack, but none of them worked; they couldn't even break through the first layer of blade threads.

Ji Xueruo had never heard of Yu Zhen's level of control over the Mystic Qi.

There are millions of silk threads here, each one seemingly a finger growing from Yu Zhen's body.

They intertwine, together forming a suffocating despair...
