After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

"No... Iron Girl, I..." Xiao Yu's body trembled, clearly realizing something. He opened his mouth to try to explain, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Hmph! You should save those words for Bai Yan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow loomed larger and larger in front of Xiao Yu.

"No!!!"

The horrific screams soared to the heavens.

Bu Suantian shuddered shortly after stepping out of the inn; she instinctively felt that her spirituality had always been exceptional.

"Strange... why does it sound like I heard Xiao Yu being forced by a woman? Hmm... it must be my imagination, he's getting along very well with that Iron Prince right now!"

Bu Suantian nodded, comforting himself not to be overly sensitive or paranoid. He shouldn't assume that every woman who got close to Xiao Yu was the one who caused his romantic troubles.

It's only just begun, how can there be so many problems?

Xiao Yu is perfectly safe in Young Master Tie's room right now, there's nothing to worry about.

And so, with Xiao Yu's final desperate cry, Bu Suantian turned and left with the girl in black robes without looking back.

……

"Xiao Yu... I really misjudged you. I never thought it was just like Liu Shicheng said, that you have a woman outside. How old is she?! How could you do that to her..."

You bastard, how can you do this to... how can you do this to Bai Yan, who waited for you so patiently on the island?!

"You've gone too far!"

Inside the locked room by Tie Yanran, Xiao Yu was bound by a rope formed from righteous energy, hanging upside down from the rafters in an extremely miserable position.

Tie Yanran stood to the side, reprimanding him with the air of interrogating a prisoner.

"Um... Don't reply, it's a misunderstanding, she and I are not in that kind of relationship."

"Ha... You're already sharing a room, and you still say it's not true."

"There's a reason for this. Put me down first. Ugh... my head is spinning, and I'm seeing afterimages. If I stay hanging here any longer, I'll die..."

The hanging rope swayed back and forth, causing Xiao Yu's head to sway upside down. All the blood in his body rushed to his head, making Tie Yanran appear as a double image in front of him.

"I'll just hang you, you bastard. You've been messing around outside the island, and it's even made it into the local gazette."

Seeing this, Tie Yanran snorted angrily, seemingly unmoved and continuing to condemn. After half an hour, Xiao Yu still hadn't spoken. She turned her head and saw that Xiao Yu had already started rolling his eyes.

She panicked and realized something was wrong. She quickly pulled back the rope and lowered Xiao Yu down.

No way?

He'd only been hanging there for a short while, less than an hour, and he was already dying...

She cautiously leaned closer and reached out to check his breath.

Not breathing?

Tie Yanran's eyebrows furrowed tightly. She had found out that Xiao Yu had already broken through a realm to reach the Core Formation Realm since the beginning on the island. She hadn't even done anything yet, and she hadn't even used the methods she used to interrogate the prisoners. Was this already not enough?

How could we cultivators be so fragile?!

Tie Yanran had doubts, but the fact had already happened. Perhaps before she arrived, Xiao Yu had gone through several fierce battles and suffered serious injuries. With her hanging him like this, the accumulated injuries might have made it impossible for him to hold on.

In that case, it would be her fault, and we cannot stand idly by; we must take some emergency measures.

But what should we do...?

Looking at the "unconscious" Xiao Yu, she blinked, and suddenly her breathing became rapid, as if she had thought of something.

After some internal struggle, she calmed down and her eyes hardened, as if she had made up her mind.

She gently placed Xiao Yu on the ground, brushed the hair from her forehead back, and slowly removed the hideous mask, revealing the stunning beauty hidden beneath.

Her skin was as delicate as snow, and her eyes were charming and lively, captivating the heart. She truly deserved the title of beauty bestowed upon her by Xiao Yu and Bu Suantian.

At this moment, those bright and clear eyes, because of their owner's thoughts, were filled with a hazy pink shyness.

Concern can cloud judgment, and Tie Yanran's mind was now filled with all sorts of wild thoughts.

No... there's nothing I can do, who... who made Xiao Yu faint out of nowhere?

She did this to save Xiao Yu's life, well... it wasn't her intention.

What if Xiao Yu dies because I didn't save him in time?

That's right, she did it to save someone. Bai Yan will understand if he knows.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu continued to feign death, unaware that a blushing face was getting closer and closer to him.

His thinking was simple: once his identity was discovered, he would definitely be beaten up. Tie Yanran was ruthless, and he would probably be beaten half to death.

Since that's the case, it would have been better to just pretend to be dead from the start. Tie Yanran couldn't possibly attack someone who has fainted, could she?

As it turned out, his gamble paid off, and soon the worried Tie Yanran lowered him down from the rope hanging upside down.

It's just... why is the room eerily quiet after I put it down?

Suddenly, a faint, delicate fragrance, similar to lily of the valley, wafted over, and his hot breath hit his face.

Xiao Yu sensed something was wrong. He suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and the scene before him startled him. He instinctively spoke:

Why did you suddenly take off your mask?

A loud male voice rang out in the quiet room. Tie Yanran, who was about to perform CPR, paused and opened her eyes, which she had closed out of shyness.

Xiao Yu, who should have been unconscious, opened his eyes. His brown eyes were bright and alert, a far cry from the half-dead look he had just had while hanging there.

Looking at Tie Yanran, whose hideous mask had been removed and who was now flushed red, Xiao Yu smiled guiltily, clearly realizing something. He quickly closed his eyes, tilted his head, and called out:

"Ugh! I fainted again. Nothing happened, you can continue..."

Tie Yanran: "..."

Her fair fists clenched tightly as she looked at Xiao Yu, who was pretending to be dead, her shame replaced by anger.

"Xiao Yu!!!"

"Ouch... Waaah, it hurts, it hurts, don't bite... You really bit me!"

After a fierce and painful struggle, Tie Yanran finally opened her mouth after Xiao Yu told her most of what had happened on the island recently, about the divination process, and why she was with him.

Recently, Xiao Yu's actions regarding leaving the island have indeed been somewhat inappropriate, both towards Bai Yan and Tie Yanran.

At the same time, he also realized something: compared to Bu Suantian, who was like a cat and easily startled, Tie Yanran was more like a puppy that would bite if provoked.

There was a clear tooth mark on Xiao Yu's cheek, very distinct, and it was clear that the person who left the mark had very neat and good teeth.

"So, the girl named Bu Suantian stayed by your side only to resolve her own death calamity. Then how come you two, as Daoist partners, are living in the same room?"

Tie Yanran pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere, wiped her mouth as if she had finished eating, and then put the hideous mask back on.

In a flash, he transformed back into that aloof and charismatic best friend.

"This is a convenient way of putting it."

Xiao Yu pulled his sleeve over and wiped the teeth marks off his face.

That was a really hard bite!

Who uses their teeth to perform CPR...?

"Really? She's so cute, and you were alone with her in a room, didn't you do anything?"

Although the fortune teller was a bit timid, his appearance was impeccable. Tie Yanran thought he was cute and adorable at first glance, like a little raccoon.

"No... what do you all take me for..."

Xiao Yu was numb. He had been really exhausted by women these past few days. Why was she so suspicious, as if she was afraid he had done something wrong?

This person suspects that person, that person suspects this person...

Let's just get you all together face-to-face and talk it over, then all your doubts will be cleared up.

Of course, this is just a thought. If they actually got together, Xiao Yu would have a hard time.

Sure enough, Bai Yan was still the best. He didn't like to talk and always took action directly.

"She's still a child, how could I possibly do anything? Besides, you're overthinking it."

Xiao Yu felt exhausted and unconsciously muttered, "Have pity on me, I've already dealt with enough women these past few days."

"..."

Tie Yanran fell silent.

Xiao Yu's words were like a devastating blow to her. Compared to Bai Yan, who was Xiao Yu's disciple, she was also inextricably linked to Bu Suantian, whose life was inextricably linked to hers.

Even Long Wanyan could use the pretext of in-depth communication to say a few words about Xiao Yu.

Having only shared a few childhood memories with Xiao Yu, Tie Yanran didn't really have any grounds to press Xiao Yu for answers.

She's not qualified... she's not qualified.

Thinking of this, her bright eyes behind the mask dimmed considerably. She turned around, her previously high spirits turning into sullenness.

"Um...I...I'm thinking of Bai Yan. What if you attract a bunch of women on the island and they all come looking for you?"

If... if I had known her before her...

As she continued, Tie Yanran felt resentful. She turned her back and muttered a few words that sounded like an explanation or a complaint.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu felt inexplicably guilty. However, with the Chaotic Forbidden Sea surrounding Jumo Island, they should be unable to find it.
