He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Jiang Xuange suddenly stopped, his hand seals coming to an abrupt halt.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. After a long while, she slowly turned her head.

His eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment, and even his voice trembled noticeably.

"What did you call me?"

Oops... Oh no, I blurted it out without thinking.

Xu Yi quickly pretended to be confused, rubbed his eyes, and looked somewhat bewildered as if he had just woken up.

He raised his hand and scratched his head, his tone apologetic and his voice a little hoarse.

"I'm...I'm sorry, miss. I don't know why, but I blurted out that when I saw you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xuange's pent-up emotions erupted.

She couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Xu Yi tightly.

For so many years, I have traveled thousands of miles, searching for Xu Yi life after life, just to hear this call again.

Just then, an exasperated voice rang out, filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

"Sister! Stop being so lovey-dovey!"

The two men's eyes were simultaneously drawn to the voice, and then their expressions changed in unison.

Above the distant clouds, Su Qingluan had gone completely mad.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from her body, and her golden phoenix wings flapped violently, causing the Immortal Binding Rope to snap inch by inch.

The phoenix, having broken free of its restraints, let out a deafening cry.

Huge wings, accompanied by raging flames and fierce winds, charged towards them time and time again.

Si Yun, on the other hand, repeatedly blocked Su Qingluan's attacks.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xuange's expression changed drastically, and he dared not delay any longer.

She quickly pushed Xu Yi away, sat cross-legged back in the center of the boulder, rapidly formed hand seals, silently chanted incantations, and fully activated the Nine Revolutions Exquisite Array.

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Xu Yi felt like his head was about to explode.

He took a step forward and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I'm not an object you can steal from me; can you please stop this?!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan narrowed her phoenix eyes and looked down at Xu Yi.

"What do you mean by 'stealing'! You were mine to begin with, so how can you say it was 'stealing'? I'm simply taking you back!"

When did I become yours...?

Before long, Siyun couldn't hold on any longer.

She flew backward like a kite with a broken string, covered in blood, and crashed heavily onto the edge of the boulder.

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Xuange's Nine-Turn Exquisite Array also took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She glanced at Siyun, who was badly injured beside her, and a flash of anger crossed her eyes.

Jiang Xuange twitched her fingertips slightly, and a soft blue light entered Si Yunfei's body, temporarily stabilizing her turbulent blood and qi.

"You crazy woman, go to hell!"

Jiang Xuange raised his head, looked at Su Qingluan, his tone icy, and with a wave of his hand, he activated the power of the formation. The azure light surged and swept towards the phoenix.

Seeing this, Su Qingluan curled her red lips into a cold smile, riding her phoenix to meet the attack head-on, her voice filled with killing intent.

"You bitch, you're the one who deserves to die!"

Boom!

Xu Yi sighed helplessly as he watched the two start arguing again.

Taking advantage of a lull in their fight, Xu Yi jumped off the boulder and, stepping on the floating pebbles, slowly made his way to the ground.

After landing, Xu Yi didn't look back and ran away into the distance.

"Trying to run away?!"

"Xu Lang!"

The two men, who were still exchanging blows, noticed his movement almost simultaneously and immediately stopped fighting.

Su Qingluan raised her hand and waved it. The phoenix made of spiritual energy disappeared instantly. She flashed and appeared next to Xu Yi, grabbing his wrist.

At the same time, Jiang Xuange also teleported over and tightly grabbed Xu Yi's other hand.

The two people, one on each side, were like two moving icebergs, holding him tightly, neither willing to let go.

Su Qingluan looked at Xu Yi, her voice tinged with exasperation.

Why are you running?!

Xu Yi turned and glared at her, struggling twice but failing to break free, and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Why can't I run? Am I supposed to stay here and watch you guys keep fighting?"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xuange glared at Su Qingluan, his eyes full of accusation.

"It's all because of you!"

"Because of me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan reacted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. She sneered and looked at Jiang Xuange with eyes full of mockery.

"Which androgynous idiot was it who chased us all day with a dwarf?"

"People hardly remember you anymore, yet you still have the audacity to call yourself 'husband'."

"I've never seen such a self-disciplined woman. Did you lack love growing up?"

"You! You don't understand anything at all!"

Jiang Xuange trembled with anger, her eyes instantly reddening. She wanted to retort, but didn't know what to say.

Su Qingluan's words were so vicious that even Xu Yi couldn't stand them.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, he knew that if things continued like this, they would definitely start fighting again.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately feigned a pained expression.

"You...you guys stop arguing. I...I feel really dizzy and uncomfortable all over."

As he spoke, he deliberately swayed his body, pretending that he was about to faint at any moment.

Seeing this, the two stopped arguing.

Jiang Xuan quickly released his grip, steadied Xu Yi, and spoke anxiously.

"Xu Lang, how are you?"

"Were you caught in the fight just now?"

"Or is it because of those vague memories that flashed through my mind?"

Jiang Xuange asked a long string of questions, and Su Qingluan glanced at Jiang Xuange with disgust, but did not continue to mock him.

Her gaze fell on Xu Yi's pale face, her brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of worry rose in her heart.

But she still didn't believe it. She raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with doubt.

"You're a cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm now, why are you suddenly feeling unwell?"

Although she was using deadly force throughout, she tried her best to control the aftershocks of the battle.

The violent spiritual energy was prevented from affecting the area where Xu Yi was located.

Jiang Xuange immediately glared at Su Qingluan, her tone filled with strong protectiveness.

"Xu Lang is upset because of you, a woman! Stop questioning him!"

Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile curving her lips. Her gaze swept over Xu Yi's 'pale' face, her tone tinged with amusement.

"Bully him? Yes, you're absolutely right, I have bullied him."

"But that was his own choice. He has masochistic tendencies, and I was just satisfying his fetish."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi was so angry he almost choked.

I have absolutely no masochistic tendencies! I'm not willing to do anything like that!

As if that wasn't enough, Su Qingluan raised her hand, her fingertips lightly brushing against Xu Yi's lips, her tone slightly provocative as she looked at Jiang Xuange.

"Besides abusing him, I also forcibly kissed him. See that scar on his lip? I bit him there."
