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

She stepped forward and picked up the undergarment. Its still-warm temperature proved that it had only been taken off recently, and its owner was probably not far away; the person was nearby.

"Senior Brother Yu, are you... secretly having affairs behind my back? You already have me."

Li Yunshang's fingertips gripped her bodice, her eyes vacant, but her ethereal tone sent a chill down Xiao Yuhan's spine as he pretended to be a Buddha.

Chapter 43, Fishing for a rich guy?

Xiao Yuhan, dressed as a Buddha statue on the stage, felt his hair stand on end.

Now he knows what the divination master meant by the "bloodshed disaster".

He said he was wondering what the unease that had been lingering in his heart was all about, and he never expected to meet Li Yunshang in this desolate temple.

What a damn coincidence.

Xiao Yu felt a pain between his brows. He had originally thought that after removing the Gu worm from Li Yunshang's body, her obsession with him would lessen, or even disappear.

But when she clutched the undergarment that had accidentally fallen off, her terrifying tone and her eyes, devoid of their luster, revealed something else.

This confirmed to him that Li Yunshang's love for him had not diminished much.

That's frightening.

Although he didn't know how Li Yunshang knew he was here, if she saw him so close to a fox demon, and things were still unclear between them...

They'll definitely get a spiked club, the kind that breaks your legs.

"Someone's coming. Should we go out? This seems like a good opportunity."

At this moment, the female fox demon's voice transmission sounded in his mind, and Xiao Yu replied without hesitation:

"No, it's better to be cautious and wait and see."

"is it?"

The female fox demon was suspicious. From the moment that woman entered, she had noticed that Xiao Yu's body was tense, as if he had seen some kind of monstrous beast.

She didn't say anything more, but her charming eyes looked at the girl in the fiery red dress who was approaching, and a ripple appeared in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"Senior sister!"

Outside the temple, the Xuanling Sect junior sister rushed over, panting heavily. She leaned against the door frame, slightly bent over, and caught her breath for a while.

Several disciples from the Xuanling Sect who were participating in the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm had arrived at a nearby inn several days ago.

In cases like this, where a secret realm opens, people usually arrive a month in advance. Li Yunshang and Xiao Yu are considered to be arriving relatively late, but as long as they can participate in the secret realm, it's fine.

Thanks to Li Yunshang, and wanting companionship on the journey, she, who was originally selected as a disciple, was also able to participate. Of course, she still had to pay for the few mid-grade spirit stones to enter the secret realm herself.

There was supposed to be an elder at the Golden Core stage traveling with them, but he was dozing in the carriage for some reason and did not come along.

The junior sister of Xuanling Sect entered the temple, only to find Li Yunshang staring blankly at a milky white undergarment.

She tiptoed and peeked at the style from behind. It was a current hot item, very popular among female nuns. Coincidentally, it was the same style she was wearing.

The belly has a touch of light pink lotus flower, and the light-colored branches are decorated with a few lines, but the size is a little larger than hers.

Li Yunshang looked a little off. She walked to the side and called out cautiously again:

"Sister?"

This shout snapped Li Yunshang out of her reverie. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the Xuanling Sect disciple who was traveling with her:

“You arrived a little later than me. Before you came, did you see anyone escape from this temple, or anyone near the temple?”

"No."

The junior sister of Xuanling Sect was startled by her senior sister's gaze. She shrank back in fear and took a step back.

Upon noticing this scene, Li Yunshang smiled faintly, seemingly to comfort her timid junior sister beside her. The gloom in her eyes dissipated, putting the Xuanling Sect disciple at ease.

"If there's no one here, then they're still hiding in this temple. If they are, then things are easier to handle."

She murmured a few words to herself.

He then looked up and searched around the corners of the temple.

To be honest, Li Yunshang's current aura is not weak; she has already surpassed Xiao Yu, who is at the peak of the Embracing Simplicity stage, in the early stage of Core Formation.

She was vastly different from when she was at the Foundation Establishment stage just a few days ago.

However, Xiao Yu, who was familiar with the novel's setting, knew that this was the effect of the Nine Spirits Open Aperture Body. After Li Yunshang's Nine Spirits Absolute Aperture Body was opened by a special spiritual object, it had become the Nine Spirits Open Aperture Body. Although the Nine Spirits Open Aperture Body did not have a spiritual root, every part of her body could absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, which meant that she herself was a large human-shaped spiritual root.

Not only is the cultivation speed faster than that of ordinary spiritual roots, but as long as there are enough spirit stones, there are almost no bottlenecks before the Nascent Soul Realm. Theoretically, one can reach the Golden Core Realm in a day by feeding spirit stones.

However, Li Yunshang did not do this in order to familiarize herself with some techniques. Moreover, her realm improved too quickly, which was like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Although she had a solid foundation, it did not benefit her mental cultivation.

Just as Xiao Yu was pondering the settings for the Nine Spirits Absolute Aperture Body, Li Yunshang, who was looking around, suddenly turned around.

Her pretty face was turned toward the four-armed Buddha statue on the table, her bright eyes slightly narrowed, as if she had noticed something.

dong dong!

Xiao Yu's heart pounded. Could it be that she had discovered something?

Is your intuition really that accurate?!

Xiao Yu's body tensed up, and large beads of sweat rose from under his mask, making his head feel extremely hot and stuffy.

After silently watching for a while, Li Yunshang seemed to sense something. She slightly turned her feet and walked around the Buddha statue, preparing to see if there was anything hidden behind it. Her junior sister from Xuanling Sect followed beside her, her innocent eyes also staring curiously.

The pair of lovers behind the Buddha statue knew that this couldn't go on, so they didn't just sit and wait for their doom. Instead, after noticing Li Yunshang's footsteps approaching, they bent over and slowly moved to the other side of the Buddha statue.

A dramatic scene unfolded as Li Yunshang and the other two men circled around the Buddha statue that Xiao Yu was impersonating, playing a game of "Qin King circling the pillar."

Xiao Yu: "…………"

This situation didn't last long; if they tried to pull off the "King Qin circling the pillar" trick again, they would easily be exposed.

The man probably realized this as well, so when the two of them circled the Buddha statue to the front, which was the side facing the temple entrance...

He grabbed his junior sister's hand and ran quickly out of the temple. To prevent being recognized by someone who saw his back while running straight out of the temple, he deliberately turned a corner and ran to the right side of the temple.

As long as they run fast enough to avoid being caught, their outrageous acts at the temple will go unnoticed.

This is what the man was planning.

"Senior sister, look! There's someone there!"

The commotion of the two escaping could not be kept secret from Li Yunshang and her companion, who were still inside the temple.

Logically speaking, most people who encounter such an emergency in a temple in the wild would simply stay in the temple and do nothing, feeling completely bewildered.

Besides, why would you chase after someone you don't even know?

pity……

Li Yunshang's eyes narrowed, and without thinking, she followed after him.

"Stop! Don't run!"

She wanted to see which woman was so charming that she could win over Senior Brother Yu.

In fact, she had noticed two figures hiding behind the Buddha statue a long time ago, but she was reluctant to face this cruel reality and waited for a long time before deciding to investigate.

Before she could say anything, her senior brother grabbed the woman's hand and ran outside.

Damn it, is she really that scary?

"Hey? Senior sister... wait for me!"

The Xuanling Sect junior sister behind her was a beat slower, but she quickly caught up after her.

For a moment, the small temple fell silent.

On the platform, Xiao Yu and the female fox demon both breathed a sigh of relief.

A ripple appeared in the illusory image, and the two jumped out from it.

"Good opportunity! Let's slip away now, girl. See you again someday!"

After leaving those words for the fox demon behind him, Xiao Yu prepared to make his escape.

If we don't slip away now, will Li Yunshang break his legs when she comes back?

Just as Xiao Yu took a few steps out of the temple, a jade-like hand grabbed his hair. Xiao Yu's body paused, leaned back, and he stumbled, but fortunately he didn't fall.

"Where are you going? We haven't finished our business yet. I went through all that trouble and got nothing in return. How about we go somewhere else?"

The female fox demon winked at Xiao Yu, seemingly still hoping to use his body to boost her cultivation! She wanted to find another place to continue.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu had no thoughts whatsoever after seeing Li Yunshang. He pried the fox demon's hand off:

"No, I'm not fortunate enough to enjoy it, so let's forget about it."

"Eh?"

Ignoring the fox spirit's attempts to stop him, he dashed out of the temple.

For a time, only the female fox demon remained in the temple.

"Damn it." She stomped her foot. If she chased after him and made a scene now, it would only arouse suspicion.

Most importantly, why didn't her charm work just now? Could it be that that guy really likes men? Her face darkened. Her carefully planned scheme had been disrupted by this unexpected situation, and no one would be in a good mood. Her foxy eyes darted around, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"This coward!"

She angrily cursed, "What are you afraid of? Does anyone think they can eat you up?"

But soon, the coward she was talking about turned back and ran back even faster.

Female fox demon: ?

Xiao Yu didn't have time to explain to her, and simply said, "Damn! There really are Golden Core cultivators here!"

These nonsensical words climbed onto the empty frame again, and the innate flying sword talent activated once more, transforming into a Buddha statue and hiding away.

Boom!

Almost immediately after he transformed into a Buddha statue, a loud crash came from the doorway.

"Who bullied my new little brother? Get out here! And you even used illusion magic to play the hero saving the damsel in distress? Trying to hook up with a rich guy?"

A petite figure, surrounded by several men in black, walked over. Her aura was not concealed, but rather displayed openly, exuding a powerful presence, like the bright red comb on a rooster's head, proud and imposing.
