The villainous bosses from their past lives have all been reborn.

Yuan Xiu touched the bloodstains on her cheek and flicked the blood off her fingertips.

The short, stocky man opposite him didn't immediately make a move, but instead looked at the wound with surprise.

In just a short while, the wound had healed.

At this moment, the short, stocky man's gaze finally turned serious. Seeing that Yuan Xiu didn't intend to act immediately, he asked:

"Aren't you going to deal with the person who came with you?"

On the other side of the battlefield, a beautiful young woman clad in golden armor was launching a fierce attack on Yin Hongyue. Yin Hongyue was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

Yuan Xiu was naturally aware of the situation on the battlefield, but he was not worried.

"You seem to have misunderstood; I'm not familiar with her at all!"

These words surprised not only the short, stocky man, but also the beautiful young woman who was attacking him, who temporarily stopped her assault and cursed:

"What a heartless man!"

But it was precisely Yin Hongyue who was quite accepting of this, even saying in a coquettish tone:

"Sure enough, the men outside are different from my husband. He just took advantage of someone else, and now he doesn't even recognize him."

Upon hearing this, the woman who had just been admiring the beautiful young woman spat out a curse.

"Adulterous couple!"

After that sound, the beautiful young woman increased her speed of attack, seemingly determined to subdue the slut before her.

The short, stocky man was somewhat surprised, then looked at Yuan Xiu with a half-smile and spoke his mind.

"Pretty boys are always popular, no matter where you are."

These seemingly sarcastic remarks angered the beautiful young woman, who retorted:

"Why aren't you making a move? Stop talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the short, stocky man immediately stood up, not daring to disobey his wife's order in the slightest.

Compared to the swift advances of the beautiful young woman, the short, stocky man moved very slowly.

His every move seemed designed to make you see clearly and understand.

Yuan Xiu saw that anything that had passed through the hands of the short, stocky man—a flower, a leaf—could become a weapon.

The short, stocky man moved slowly, but when he made his move, his speed was incredibly fast, so fast that even with Yuan Xiu's master-level agility, he could only barely dodge it.

Yuan Xiu had been observing the rhythm of his attacks and noticed that the short, stocky man seemed somewhat exhausted after his series of assaults. So, during a lull, Yuan Xiu advanced instead of retreating and struck at the short, stocky man.

Just as Yuan Xiu was about to ignite the [Elixir Fire], he noticed a triumphant smile on the face of the short, stocky man.

A sudden sense of unease rose in Yuan Xiu's heart, and in a moment, it was too late for him to change his offensive strategy.

The space in front of the short, stocky man seemed to ripple, as if an invisible, enormous force was tearing at Yuan Xiu.

"This is the first time I've ever used a Grandmaster as an ingredient to refine elixirs!"

The short, stocky man had barely finished speaking excitedly when Yuan Xiu felt the space around him closing in, and a wave of intense heat emanated from it. It was the first time he had ever experienced such a bizarre power, as if he were trapped inside an alchemy furnace.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiu touched his surroundings and discovered that an invisible barrier had appeared around him without his noticing. He realized that this guy had seemingly created an alchemy furnace out of thin air.

"You really look pathetic!"

Just then, Yin Hongyue's mocking voice rang out. However, she herself was in a rather disheveled state, her clothes seemingly torn, and her body and face covered in bloodstains.

The beautiful young woman's relentless attack, especially targeting a woman's most sensitive areas, infuriated Yin Hongyue.

"You still have the nerve to talk back to me? You're almost disfigured. Even if you escape, do you think your husband will still want you?"

Yuan Xiu spoke with a hint of watching the drama unfold, and Yin Hongyue immediately retorted.

"Who said I was going to run away? Besides, do you think he's as shallow as you?"

Although their conversation seemed to be a mutual mockery, to the two masters in the underground cave, it sounded more like flirting.

"This adulterous couple clearly doesn't respect me at all."

Just then, the short, stocky man sped up, while the beautiful young woman prepared to launch her final attack.

Like a falcon, the young woman's figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Yin Hongyue.

However, just as a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the cave, the beautiful young woman's attack came to nothing.

With her vision obscured by the smoke and dust, the beautiful young woman temporarily removed her armor and looked around, only to find no one in sight.

The other party seems to have vanished into thin air!

"Madam, watch your head!"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful young woman trembled all over. Just as she was about to dodge, a tremendous force struck her and knocked her to the ground.

Yuan Xiu, inside the alchemy furnace, even had the leisure to turn around and watch this scene—

A snow-white, enormous nine-tailed fox was pressing down on the beautiful young woman with her huge hand.

Is this the [Thousand Illusions]?

It seems that Yin Hongyue's mysterious skill can not only transform her into other people, but also into a non-human being.

The nine-tailed fox, a mythical creature that lived before the dragon was slain, had long since disappeared. Yet now it had reappeared in the world, and the shock it brought was something that even this master couple found hard to accept.

The ensuing battle was one-sided.

Transformed into a nine-tailed fox, Yin Hongyue completely overwhelmed the beautiful young woman. The more ferocious her attacks had been, the more disheveled she was now.

Just as Yin Hongyue had finished dealing with the beautiful young woman until she was on the verge of death, she turned to look at Yuan Xiu and saw the short, stocky man lying on the ground, his body still engulfed in pale flames. Yuan Xiu, however, was nowhere to be found.

Yin Hongyue looked around and finally focused her gaze on the spirit plant.

Yuan Xiuzheng stood there, looking at him with curious eyes.

Yin Hongyue transformed back into human form, but she was now naked. Helpless, she could only find a beautiful young woman's dress around her, quickly put it on, and then rushed over.

"Have you found anything?"

Yuan Xiu turned and glanced at Yin Hongyue, then said:

"Very big!"

Yin Hongyue seemed to sense something, looked down, and said coquettishly:

"I didn't mean for you to see me!"

Yuan Xiu was also a little puzzled at this moment, because after he used the [Dragon Slayer Thorn] to kill the short, stocky man while he was focused, the man's profound skills did not transfer to him.

Yuan Xiu also noticed that when the short, stocky man died, the beautiful young woman's fighting strength seemed to drop precipitously.

Just then, the beautiful young woman struggled and said:

"I want to live!"

The two turned around and saw that the beautiful young woman was aging at an extremely rapid pace, and soon she went from a young woman with black hair to an old woman with white hair.

Yin Hongyue felt a chill run down her spine as she watched this scene. But as the white-haired old woman died, Yin Hongyue sensed a strange power transferring from her body.

On the other side, Yuan Xiu also felt a force being transferred towards him from the short, stocky man.

Could it be that the two of them share the same secret technique?

Upon having this idea, Yuan Xiu felt no pride whatsoever. Instead, he felt a surge of heat throughout his body, as if some unseen force was drawing him in.

When he looked up again, he saw Yin Hongyue with a dazed look in her eyes, her dress slipped down, her black hair loose, and she was pressing close to him.
