Amid his wandering thoughts, He Pingsheng was led to a great hall.
The hall had a blue-green roof.
The layers of formations before it were opened one after another.
A woman in red stood before the hall. It was Princess Chonghua.
"Greetings, Princess Chonghua..." He Pingsheng cupped his hands toward her with a smile.

For a moment, He Pingsheng was stumped by the question.
"Ahem..." He coughed lightly a few times. "Zhu Ranyu forced me to flee into the Profound Demon Heavenly Ruins!"
