"You"-Who Else Is There?

Inside the Divine Statue's Small World, Jiang Lin, whose Spiritual Apertures were sealed, was engaged in a fierce battle with the suit of armor (a one-sided beatdown).

Although Madam Chen said that the Divine Power Divine Remnants had been weakened over hundreds of thousands of years, and that the "Armored Warrior" standing opposite Jiang Lin was only at the Martial Warrior Fourth Realm, while Jiang Lin, with the martial luck boosted by this Secret Realm, had even reached the third level of virtual martial arts.

But the Divine Pressure Buff was truly formidable.

It's like a Scottish Fold cat encountering a lion; the psychological pressure is immense.

The special effects are also exaggerated; their every move can cause all sorts of cataclysmic events, just like in a blockbuster movie.

In comparison, none of my punches or kicks had any special effects, not even the "Adoben" (a special effect), which made it seem rather pathetic...

However, in this Soul Refining Secret Realm, Jiang Lin can resurrect infinitely without using Resurrection Coin, which is quite good.

Rather than Secret Realm, it's more like a movie that will play endlessly.

The only difference is that you can become one of the characters in this movie.

Strangely, Jiang Lin could see Chen Jia's slender yet spirited figure, but Chen Jia seemed unable to see Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin suspected that Little Jia might have been placed under some kind of spell, the kind that shields her from all external influences by focusing solely on practicing martial arts.

Night falls, and this is the only time to rest in this little Secret Realm.

At night, everything in the Secret Realm resets, and then at dawn, the movie restarts...

Jiang Lin saw that Little Jia had already put down her fist and was walking into a cave.

Jiang Lin naturally followed.

Inside the cave, Chen Jia sat down against the wall, hugging her knees. Her hair, styled in a small ponytail, draped to one side, making her hairstyle look somewhat precarious.

Holding herself like that, the girl's eyes were slightly vacant, as if she were lost in thought.

However... this has taken far too long to think about; a whole hour has passed.

Has this little girl been practicing boxing for too long? Is something wrong with her little brain?

Anyway, she can't see me, so maybe I should just...

Jiang Lin's expression gradually became comical, then he circled around and walked behind Chen Jia.

Just as Jiang Lin gently grabbed the cute ponytail on her shoulder, about to tie a knot...

Suddenly, the small fist in front of Jiang Lin grew bigger and bigger!

"Ugh..."

"Boom!"

Before Jiang Lin could react, Jiang Lin Chen Jia punched him into the wall, embedding him completely and making it impossible to pry him out.

"Jiang Lin?"

The spell was broken, and upon seeing that it was Jiang Lin, Chen Jia was also startled and quickly ran over to pull Jiang Lin out...

After an incense stick had burned, Jiang Lin lay listlessly on Chen Jia's lap, while Chen Jia, looking guilty, used her Martial Warrior True Qi to rub his thick-skinned face.

"Why did you suddenly hit someone like that..."

With his right cheek swollen and his speech slurred, Jiang Lin's old eyes were blurry, and he looked very aggrieved, but he didn't want to get off Chen Jia's lap...

"Who told you to suddenly play with my hair from behind?"

Chen Jia pouted, her tone stubborn but overflowing with guilt.

However, aside from guilt, Jiang Lin seemed to detect a hint of joy in his voice, as if he were Xiao Xiao happy.

It seemed that after punching herself, her mood suddenly improved a lot...

This startled Jiang Lin.

Could this little girl have awakened something...?

"When did you get back? How could that Fox Spirits let you come back?"

The girl kneeling on the ground looked at Jiang Lin lying on her lap, her eyes flashing with joy.

"Well, it's a long story, but for now, everything's fine."

Jiang Lin was aware that Little Jia was kept in the dark about her situation, after all, she had been in this Secret Realm for more than two months.

"It's okay, I have time."

"..."

Looking into Chen Jia's lovely, innocent, and expectant eyes, Jiang Lin felt that he would be betraying his conscience if he refused.

So Jiang Lin began to tell Chen Jia about the White Empire.

Of course, the parts about Jiu Yi being injured and losing her mind, and the fact that he was truly connected to Jiu Yi by Marriage Thread, will definitely be cut out.

Otherwise, I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.

However, Jiang Lin also knew that he would have to tell Little Jia about this sooner or later.

But at least... I'll have to wait until I can withstand Little Jia's little fists before I confess.

Yes, I confessed it with my master and senior sisters.

Well, once Jiu Yi recovers, I will tell Jiu Yi that I still have feelings for my master, my senior sister, and Little Jia.

Even if Little Jia, Master Jiu Yi, and Senior Sister want to kill me, I can still escape for a while, right?

Once my masters and the others have calmed down, I'll bring back a Washboard! That should make them understand me!

That was a perfect plan!

As for what level of cultivation is needed to escape the pursuit of the masters...

That's the problem.

But even mortal kings and generals have multiple wives and concubines, and emperors Imperial Harem in their harems. So what's wrong with me, a cultivator, being devoted to my master, Jiu Yi, Little Jia, and my senior sister?

This is the ancient world of cultivation...

Just as Jiang Lin was "cheering himself up" to increase his courage and calm his heart that was always trembling with fear of being hit by a woodcutter's axe, a soft, sweet voice slowly came out.

"Sorry..."

"Huh? What did you say, Little Jia?"

"Sorry..."

Chen Jia lowered her eyes, her small hands clutching the hem of her skirt, her eyes filled with self-reproach.

"Ha?"

I said I'm sorry!

Clenching her little fists, Chen Jia shouted loudly.

Although the voice was pleasant, Jiang Lin hadn't expected Little Jia to amplify the sound effects with Martial Warrior True Qi, making him feel like his ears were about to disappear.

"Sorry..."

The girl continued, repeating herself.

Jiang Lin's ears were ringing, but in Jiang Lin eyes, Chen Jia's eyes were already red.

"If I had been strong enough back then, I could have protected you from being taken away by that Fox Spirits. If I had gone to the Distant Excursion Realm, I could have gone to find you... I..."

Just as tears were about to fall from the girl's eyes, he sat up and placed his large, rough hand on her Xiao Xiao head.

"Fool, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"But..."

"There's no 'but' about it."

Jiang Lin gently pinched her smooth, egg-like face and smiled.

"I'm a man, why am I being protected by you girls all the time...? I should be the one protecting you."

Although Jiang Lin also wanted to be a kept man, it felt really strange to always be protected by a girl...

"Hmph, who needs your protection..."

The girl turned her head away Tsundere.

"Wait, you guys?"

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Chen Jia raised her head, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

In an instant, the fist intent emanating from Little Jia's body flowed out!

"Hey, Jiang Lin, who else is among 'you'?"
