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

"His daughter has contracted a rare and strange disease, and her body is deteriorating day by day. She can only survive by regularly consuming the essence and blood of ancient monsters."

"And I am of the bloodline of an ancient celestial fox, and my essence and blood have a miraculous effect on his daughter's illness."

"That's why he captured me and used a formation to periodically extract my life essence to prolong his daughter's life."

"At first, he only extracted a small amount of my semen each month. Although it was painful, I could still endure it."

"But recently, he's been extracting more and more of his essence."

"The formation has become even more bizarre. If my benefactor hadn't arrived in time, I would have been dead within three months."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi felt a mix of emotions.

Suddenly, a chilling hissing sound came from behind.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the red-haired cult leader, who had been split in two, was slowly writhing.

A large amount of dark red liquid gushed from the broken wound, reconnecting the two halves of the body.

In just a short while, the red-haired cult leader recovered completely, though his face was even paler than before, and the madness in his eyes had only increased.

"I told you, I absolutely cannot let you take her away!"

His aura became even more violent, showing faint signs of breaking through to a higher realm.

Ningyue's expression changed drastically. She shielded Bai Li and Qingqing behind her and watched the red-haired cult leader warily.

Xu Yi frowned as he looked at the red-haired cult leader. He truly had no spiritual energy left in his body.

He had no power to resist the now stronger red hair.

Anyway, the mission is complete, and Bai Li has found her mother and will no longer be wandering around.

If I die in this life, so be it. It's better for one of me to die than for everyone to die.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi began to burn his life essence, and a frenzied power instantly surged into his body.

Although this power could only last for a moment, and he would surely die after burning his life force, he had no other choice.

This time, Xu Yi and the red-haired cult leader fought even more fiercely. The two engaged in a fierce battle again in the ruined hall, with constant roars and everything around them being destroyed.

After hundreds of rounds, Xu Yi used his last bit of strength to plunge his longsword deep into the heart of the red-haired demon lord.

"You did not do anything wrong in wanting to save your daughter, and I did not do anything wrong in wanting to save a child's mother."

The red-haired man looked at the longsword in his chest, twitched twice, and then slowly collapsed.

Two seconds later, Xu Yi's vision began to blur, and his body became lighter and lighter.

With a thud, he fell down too.

He turned to look at Bai Li and the others not far away. Bai Li was running towards him with a look of terror on her face, making anxious sobs.

"I'm sorry, Bai Li, I can't stay with you anymore..."

Xu Yi silently recited a sentence in his heart.

I've only ever tried leaving this dream world on my own before, and that would allow me to improve my cultivation level. I wonder if dying like this would allow me to improve my cultivation level again.

Will Bai Li also come looking for me like Jiang Xuange? Sigh...

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yi's consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

Bai Li rushed to Xu Yi's side, nuzzling his body with her little head and letting out a heart-wrenching cry, but she could no longer wake him up.

Xu Yi's consciousness, however, entered a world filled with white light.

The place was vast and empty, with no sky or earth, no boundaries, only endless white light, warm and gentle, which dispelled his fatigue and pain.

[Ding! Hidden achievement triggered: Die while saving someone in the dream world.]

[Hidden Quest Reward: 1. An open space.]

[Description of the spacious area: You can enter this place simply by using your mind (either physically or mentally). Here you can chat with the system, store items, and so on.]

"Can this really have hidden achievements?" Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

Okay, let's get down to business.

"System, can I inherit my cultivation level after I die?"

[Yes, as long as you survive for thirty days in the dream world, you can inherit the cultivation level regardless of whether you die afterwards.]

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of pure power flowed into his body, and his cultivation level began to rise rapidly, soon reaching the seventh level of the Star Realm.

After inheriting the realm, Xu Yi's consciousness returned to his body and back to the real world.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he smelled a strong odor of alcohol, and at the same time felt a sense of suffocation.

Xu Yi was being held tightly in the arms of Jiang Xuange and Su Qingluan, unable to move.

Su Qingluan rested her chin on his head, her full breasts were so close, and the deep cleavage between them made Xu Yi swallow hard.

Jiang Xuange pressed against his back, her arms wrapped around his waist.

The softness of her chest pressed against his back, making him somewhat distracted.

The smell of alcohol was coming from them.

He wondered why the two of them hadn't woken him up; it turned out he was completely drunk.

He quickly pulled the two apart, sat up, and then saw more than twenty jars of wine placed in the corner of the hall.

The jar was open, and the wine inside was completely gone.

"Holy crap..."

Xu Yi couldn't help but swear; these two could really drink.

With a push from him, Jiang Xuange and Su Qingluan gradually woke up.

Jiang Xuange was still groggy and rubbed her eyes, but when she sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Xu Yi, she instantly woke up.

"Xu Lang, how did you reach the Star Realm?!"

Su Qingluan merely glanced at Xu Yi, her phoenix eyes squinting lazily as she raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned softly.

Xu Yi scratched his head and casually made up a story.

"Sometimes I can break through to a higher level while I'm sleeping."

Jiang Xuange still looked incredulous, her gentle brows furrowed with confusion.

"But this too..."

"What, are you afraid he'll become better than you and then leave you?"

Su Qingluan slowly sat up, interrupting her.

Jiang Xuange blushed, then softly retorted.

"You're the one who should be afraid..."

"oh."

Su Qingluan gave a dismissive "oh" and reached out to rub her temples.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Xu Yi quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, why are you guys drinking so much?"

Jiang Xuange hesitated for two seconds, glanced at Su Qingluan, and made up a reason.

"Uh... um... yesterday, you went to bed early, and we got bored last night, so we had a drink."

Su Qingluan leaned lazily against the headboard and nodded.

"Hmm, she has never drunk my wine."

His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible smugness.

After hearing this, Jiang Xuange turned her face away sullenly, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Her slightly puffed-up cheeks looked rather cute.

Su Qingluan suddenly stretched out her jade-like arm, wrapped it around Xu Yi's neck, and pulled him closer to her.

The scent of alcohol mixed with a cool fragrance wafted from her, and her soft, supple breasts pressed tightly against Xu Yi's arm.

"Hmm... Lie down quickly and keep me company while I continue sleeping..."
