The game starts with the player being bound to Han Li, gaining access to all of the enemy's ass

"senior!"

"What virtue or ability do I possess!" Xin Ruyin cried, tears streaming down her face.

For cultivators, the oath of inner demons is something they must keep, or they will surely perish. Han Chao's willingness to go to such lengths has stirred even Xin Ruyin's calm nature.

"Why are you crying?"

Han Chao was a bit flustered. In his nearly thirty years of life, this was the first time he had made a woman cry. He thought about handing her a tissue, but there weren't any in the cultivation world. He was afraid that wiping her tears himself would frighten her and cause her to have another attack.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed and at a loss, he could only scratch his head and say earnestly to Xin Ruyin, who was crying her eyes out, "Fellow Daoist Xin, I swear I believe I can do it, and you have no idea how important you are to me, so please believe what I say."

Upon hearing the words "How important you are to me," Xin Ruyin's face flushed crimson, like a ripe tomato. She stopped crying, but lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, and said in a very low voice, "Brother Han, Ruyin wants to believe you..."

Han Chao was overjoyed to hear Xin Ruyin agree to stop cultivating.

In the mortal world, Nangong Wan and Zi Ling are unnecessary, but there is one person who is essential: Xin Ruyin. The Dao of formations is vast and boundless. At less than thirty years old, Xin Ruyin was able to perfectly recreate the ancient teleportation array from the ancient teleportation array diagram replicated by Han Li.

This shows how terrifying her talent for array formations is. If such a prodigy can live for a long time, Han Chao can't even imagine what kind of terrifying array formations she will develop in the future.

"Haha, that's great!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Han Chao hugged Xin Ruyin tightly.

"Brother Han, please don't..."

Xin Ruyin's face flushed red. She wanted to reach out and stop Han Chao, but when she thought of the oath she had made earlier and saw his sincere and happy expression, her heart softened without her realizing it. She reached out and gently patted his back.

"Miss, something terrible has happened! Young Master Qi..."

With a bang, the door was pushed open anxiously by Xiaomei, and she immediately saw Xin Ruyin, her face flushed, hugging Han Chao.

"Why?"

"Miss Ruyin, look at the formation I brought you..."

Xiao Mei immediately covered her eyes, but through the gaps between her fingers, she looked at Qi Yunxiao, whose face had turned pale, and then at the two people embracing each other. A strange feeling welled up in her heart.

Qi Yunxiao was already quite familiar with her. She had been adopted by the young lady several years ago, and not long after, she met this man surnamed Qi. After learning that he knew how to refine weapons, the young lady took the initiative to ask him to cooperate in refining array plates.

At first, the person was honest and reliable, but after they became familiar with each other, things started to change. He began to send materials to the young lady continuously, and he didn't even ask for spirit stones for the array plates. But the young lady was not the kind of person to take advantage of others, so she gave him every single spirit stone he needed.

But to everyone's surprise, this man started to escalate his behavior. Xiao Mei couldn't stand his eagerness anymore. He came every day, forcing the young lady to have no choice but to pay out of her own pocket to make a formation plate and move it outside the city.

She originally thought that a silent refusal would calm him down, but she didn't expect that he would not repent at all. Last month, Xiaomei personally delivered the array plate to him, but he said that it was sold out in just one month and came to her door in person.

"That's good now, right? Seeing Miss being held in someone's arms, she shouldn't bother me anymore, right?" Xiaomei thought to herself with schadenfreude.

"Ru, Ruyin, you two..." Qi Yunxiao stared blankly at the two people embracing each other, letting the array diagram he brought fall to the ground, and staggered out of the house clutching his chest.

Xin Ruyin was also somewhat helpless. She knew that Qi Yunxiao had feelings for her, but she had clearly rejected him several times. However, Qi Yunxiao acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued to fawn over her as always. Xin Ruyin, whose cultivation level was not high, naturally couldn't take Xiaomei across cities to avoid him, so she could only helplessly let him pester her.

Unexpectedly, this matter was resolved unintentionally today. However, if something were to happen to Qi Yunxiao, Xin Ruyin would be heartbroken, as the nearly one hundred spirit stones in dividends are still in Qi Yunxiao's hands.

"Let go of me now!" Xin Ruyin snapped, her breath tickling Han Chao's neck.

"Who is this silly kid?" Han Chao asked, feigning confusion, as he released his grip.

"A business partner." Xin Ruyin sighed and smoothed her hair. "Xiao Mei, go check on Young Master Qi!"

"Alright, here you go, Miss." Xiao Mei picked up the array diagram that Qi Yunxiao had dropped and handed it to her mistress. She then gave Han Chao a bright smile and hurried after him.

"This is?"

Xin Ruyin glanced at the array diagram and her eyes widened instantly. "Concealment, trapping the enemy, defense, isolation... This is a top-tier auxiliary array capable of defending against late-stage Core Formation cultivators."

Holding the array diagram, Xin Ruyin trembled with excitement.

He had never seen her so excited when he hugged her, so out of curiosity, Han Chao scratched his head.

"The Reversed Five Elements Formation?!" Han Chao exclaimed in surprise.

It's surprising that this formation only came into Xin Ruyin's hands at this time. No wonder it was still a half-finished product when she met Han Li a year later.

"That's not surprising," Han Chao muttered to himself.

"Brother Han also knows about this formation?" Xin Ruyin asked in surprise.

"Of course." Han Chao nodded. "Even though I've only been learning formations from you for a month, there are probably few sect cultivators who don't know the name of this famous Minor Forbidden Formation."

"Such a precious array diagram, this..." Xin Ruyin hesitated.

She was the kind of woman who got excited whenever she saw a new array diagram. Although the Inverted Five Elements Array diagram in her hand was incomplete, it wouldn't be difficult for her to repair it. Therefore, she considered this array diagram to be extremely precious, and the spirit stones she was waiting for as a share of Qi Yunxiao's profits were far from enough.

"Take it if you want it." Seeing Xin Ruyin's inner turmoil, Han Chao smiled, patted her hand, and strode towards the door. "I'm going to talk to that silly boy from earlier."

"Brother Han..."

Xin Ruyin originally wanted to chase after him, but when she thought of Qi Yunxiao, who still wouldn't stop bothering her after being rejected, and Han Chao, who looked happy after making his vow to his inner demons, she couldn't help but sigh and turn back.

"Alright, let Brother Han explain it to him."

Han Chao followed Xiao Mei out of the array's range. With the fog gone, he finally saw Qi Yunxiao staggering along, with Xiao Mei chasing after him.

"Young Master Qi, Young Master Qi, don't walk so fast!"

Xiao Mei's calls as she caught up stirred Qi Yunxiao's heart. If Xiao Mei was calling him, then she must still care about him. He immediately turned around and looked intently at Xiao Mei.

"Miss Mei, is it...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaomei cut him off with her next sentence.

"Young Master Qi, the spirit stones for the bonus haven't been given to my young lady yet." Xiao Mei skipped forward innocently and stretched out her fair hand to Qi Yunxiao.

"Well--"

Qi Yunxiao almost choked on his breath.

He handed the storage bag to Xiaomei with a wry smile, cupped his hands in greeting, and was about to leave when Han Chao called him back.

"Qi Yunxiao, wait a moment."
