Junior Sister must ascend this time!

In her haste, Yun Qing threw the Spirit of the Secret Realm at Si Mingche. A cry of "Ah!" rang out, and both Si Mingche and the Spirit of the Secret Realm fainted…

Yun Qing: Sorry, I used too much force.

Spirit of the Secret Realm: You're so high and mighty, yet you use me to smash people?!

Yun Qing rushed to Si Mingche's side, pried open the spirit of the secret realm, and gently shook Si Mingche, "Third Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Si Mingche was in a daze when he heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes and found Yun Qing in front of him. He scrambled away from her.

Yun Qing checked her face. She was still so beautiful. Why was her third senior brother so scared?

As she looked on in confusion, Si Mingche pulled out the Thousand Machine Fan and pointed it at her, saying, "What kind of monster are you, daring to impersonate my junior sister? Watch me blow you up!!"

Yun Qing: ………

She scooped up the spirit of the secret realm at her feet, tugged at it forcefully to wake it, and asked through gritted teeth, "What kind of illusion did you create for my third senior brother?"

The spirit of the secret realm looked at the sky and the ground, but remained silent.

If I said that out loud, she'd probably chop me into eight hundred pieces.

Unable to get any answers from the spirit of the secret realm, Yun Qingjian could only rub her hands together and then slap Si Mingche on the back of the head. She had absolutely no ulterior motives!

Si Mingche let out a "whoop" and covered the back of his head, but the fear on his face disappeared. Instead, he grinned and said, "Junior Sister, it really is you!"

Spirit of the Secret Realm: ...Is this guy crazy? He's being beaten and he's still laughing?

Yun Qing helped Si Mingche, who had returned to normal, to his feet and asked, "Third Senior Brother, what was your illusion? Why were you so afraid of me?"

"N-nothing...it's nothing," Si Mingche stammered. "It's just that you beat me up in the secret realm and gave me psychological trauma..."

He would never let his junior sister know that as soon as he entered the secret realm, he saw her throwing herself into his arms and saying that she wanted to be his Daoist partner for life.

He does like his junior sister, but that's only towards his fellow disciples. Is this secret realm even worthwhile?

Don't do things you can't do; you almost scared him to death!

Years later, when Si Mingche recalls the scene in the secret realm, he still gets goosebumps all over his body.

Si Mingche looked at the green dumpling in Yun Qing's hand and frowned, saying, "Junior Sister, where did you find this ugly thing?"

The spirit of the secret realm jumped up, shouting, "I am the spirit of the secret realm!!! Not some ugly thing!"

"Foolish humans, apologize to me!"

"Apologize?!"

Si Mingche rolled up his sleeves, his temper flaring. "You son of a bitch, you're the spirit of the secret realm? What kind of illusion did you create for me? I'll show you how to tear it apart today!"

then……

A fight broke out on the ground between two people, and the scene was... incredibly bloody.

An hour later, Si Mingche limped after Yun Qing, "Junior Sister, where are we going now?"

Yun Qing, holding the spirit of the secret realm which wasn't much better than her third senior brother, said, "Let's find the fourth senior brother first. I'm afraid he'll be targeted by the Shi brothers."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Qing spotted a familiar figure.

Jiang Mian and Shi Lang stood motionless in front, probably still trapped in the illusion.

Suddenly, Shi Lang moved, breaking through the illusion first. He was about to leave when his eyes caught sight of Jiang Mian beside him.

He put his hands on his hips, looking smug. "Heh heh heh, I didn't expect to run into you so soon. Since you can't get out of this illusion, let me give you a hand."

"To die in this illusion is a mercy to you. Remember, behave yourself in your next life; a bastard should stay where he belongs!"

Yun Qing and Si Mingche exchanged a glance. "Go!"

Just as Shi Lang drew his sword, preparing to seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Mian, he suddenly heard a sound of something piercing through the air.

He quickly turned his head and saw a huge alchemy furnace flying towards him.

Shi Lang reacted quickly, changing his position and kicking the alchemy furnace to the ground.

However, before he could even catch his breath, the explosive pills inside the furnace, which he had kicked over, flew all over him.

"boom!"

"Crackling and popping!"

"Aaaaaaah!"

Shi Lang was blown to pieces, his hair standing on end again, and he lay on the ground twitching.

Yun Qing and Si Mingche covered their eyes with their hands, leaving a small gap so they wouldn't miss the whole exciting scene.

"Wow! So bloody! I love watching it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's terrible! Junior Sister, your Explosive Pill is amazing!"

"That's right! I just figured it out, and it looks like it can be put into mass production."

While the two were having a lively discussion, Shi Lang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly "came back to life." He slowly got up and was about to see which bastard had done this to him.

As a result, Yun Qing and Si Mingche threw a sack at him, followed by sword flashes, talismans, and even fists and feet.

The two stopped fighting only when all movement ceased.

"Junior Sister, he's not really dead, is he?"

Yun Qing shook her head. "No, Wei Si."

So the two of them tossed him aside and walked to Jiang Mian's side. Yun Qing, holding the spirit of the secret realm, said, "Is there any way to wake him up quickly?"

The spirit of the secret realm, now compressed into a pancake, twisted its body. "I, Cui Ran, am like a spirit of the secret realm, but not omnipotent!"

Yun Qing looked on with a puzzled expression. What was he saying in all that babbling?

Si Mingche pointed at the spirit of the secret realm with his fan, and Yun Qing finally realized what was happening and let go of his hand.

The spirit of the secret realm instantly returned to its original state and continued, "I am only responsible for weaving the illusion, so once you enter the illusion, you can only break it yourself. Even I cannot interfere."

"Is there really no way at all?"

Yun Qing's face drew closer and closer, and she spoke in a sinister tone.

Spirit of the Mystic Realm: "Yes, yes, yes... Let me think..."

In the illusion, Xiao Jiangmian is chasing Liu Fushu all over the mountain, pleading, "Please, take me as your disciple!"

Liu Fushu grew impatient with the nagging and finally relented.

Thus, Xiao Jiangmian's daily routine became cultivation, taking care of Liu Fushu, Liu Fushu's little Bai Ze, and all sorts of flowers and plants.

Until he grew into what he is now, and then...

Yun Qing and Si Mingche suddenly burst into Yaoguang Peak, "Fourth Senior Brother (Fourth Junior Brother), we're here~"

Jiang Mian seemed still immersed in the illusion, and asked warily, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The two exchanged a glance, then unleashed a barrage of talismans and fists at Jiang Mian. "He actually forgot about us in the illusion?!"

"I'm still desperately trying to save him in this illusion!! I'll break his spirits or I'm not a Yun!"

"Junior Sister, hitting with your hands hurts too much." Si Mingche took out a shovel and placed it in Yun Qing's hand. "Use this, this hurts more when you hit someone."

Jiang Mian curled up on the ground, hugging herself, "I was wrong!! I'll never tease you guys again~"

"I knew I'd entered an illusion the moment you arrived, really!!"

"Junior Sister, don't hit my face! Ahhh!"
