The formation elder almost shed two streams of tears.

What a pitiful child, almost lost his life in the maze, all he wanted after getting out was a good meal.

It was also his fault for not paying attention; he forgot that his two young apprentices hadn't eaten all day.

He immediately waved his hand and instructed the kitchen to prepare a lavish meal.

Although the elders had already abstained from grains.

But I still get a craving sometimes.

The fat roll around the elder's belly is a case in point...

—Moreover, there are disciples who have not yet abstained from grains and still need to eat.

Therefore, the food conditions in the Fusang sect were very good.

Ning Yue ate as much as she wanted.

Duan Huailin stood beside Ning Yue, somewhat worried.

He began to look Ning Yue up, down, left, and right, while gently channeling healing spiritual energy into Ning Yue's body.

"Why are you covered in blood? What happened in the maze?"

Ning Yue glanced at the formation elder, unsure whether to speak.

The formation elder cast a cleansing spell on Ning Yue.

With teary eyes, she looked at Ning Yue, who was enjoying his meal, and said angrily upon hearing this.

"I don't know which bastard set up the maze as a death trap. If I had arrived any later, your junior sister might be dead."

Ning Yue paused, feeling somewhat guilty.

I'm not going to die yet.

But then he thought that although he wouldn't get hurt, he really couldn't beat that giant rat.

Duan Huailin suddenly stiffened, his voice trembling slightly: "...A death formation?!"

Ning Yue swallowed what was in his mouth and nodded reassuringly.

"Senior brother, it has nothing to do with you. The formation only became a deadly formation after I entered it."

She propped her head up and thought about it carefully.

"...When I first entered, it was a normal maze. Just as I was about to break through it, a group of alien giant rats suddenly appeared."

"That's right... it's the same giant rat we encountered in the Azure Valley Secret Realm last time."

Duan Huailin remembered it almost instantly.

"...Was it the giant rat that Qi Xucheng killed?!"

The formation elder suddenly spoke up: "...You also encountered that kind of thing in the Azure Valley Secret Realm?"

"Yeah," Ning Yue nodded, munching on a chicken leg, "...At the time, I thought it was a normal spirit beast, but now it seems that's not the case."

The formation elder sat on one side of the table without touching his chopsticks.

Combining Ning Yue and Duan Huailin's words, I roughly figured out something.

Looking out at the dark night, his brows furrowed slightly.

Ning Yue was happily munching on a chicken leg, while Duan Huailin couldn't eat his rice at all, poking at the grains of rice in his bowl with his chopsticks.

He seemed to be deep in thought about something.

The world where Ning Yue could focus solely on cooking rice was achieved.

After watching for a while, the formation elder stood up.

"Go back after you finish eating, Huailin. Remember to see your junior sister off. I'm going out for a bit."

He had barely finished speaking.

Ning Yue said "okay" to Duan Huailin.

The formation elder vanished from the spot.

Shi Yinghan had already told the law enforcement elder about the matter of the spirit possession, but one problem had barely been resolved before another arose.

Another deadly formation occurred tonight.

If Ning Yue hadn't possessed a conscious space and knew many ancient secret techniques, it would have been different.

Whether I'll make it out alive tonight is anyone's guess.

Moreover, the appearance of such a thing within the Fusang Sect is a major event that warrants the entire sect's vigilance.

Ning Yue swept everything off the table.

After seeing that Ning Yue had finished eating, Duan Huailin cast a cleaning spell on the mess on the table.

He stood up: "I'll take you back, junior sister."

Ning Yue spread his palm towards Duan Huailin: "I won't fly back on my sword, I'll use the teleportation array directly."

Duan Huailin was still worried.

"Even under Master's nose, a maze can be turned into a death trap. Modifying a teleportation array to send you to some other ghostly place is a piece of cake."

Ning Yue hesitated before putting her hand down.

Honestly summon the rooster.

After all, what Duan Huailin said made a lot of sense.

It's certain that whoever in the Purgatory Sect wants Ning Yue dead, she's currently in a very dangerous situation.

You might get messed up by the other party without even realizing it.

Of course, the other party just can't kill her.

But after what she just went through, she desperately needs a good night's sleep.

I don't want to play any more assassination games.

Huanming played all night and was a little tired.

...It leisurely carried Ning Yue and Duan Huailin towards Guanhai Peak.

Duan Huailin stood behind Ning Yue, somewhat uneasy: "Don't worry, junior sister, I'll take a few more lessons and then I won't need you to carry me on your sword anymore."

Ning Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

Urging the horn to sail higher, one could see most of the Fusang Sect in the distance.

Ning Yue called out, "How's it going, Senior Brother? Is it high up here?"

Duan Huailin looked down upon hearing this.

Facing the refreshing night breeze, I could also smell the aroma of food emanating from my junior sister in front of me.

The entire Fusang Sect was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, with a few places still lit up.

He was clearly standing on a thin sword blade a hundred meters in the air.

Duan Huailin, however, felt quite at ease.

The junior sister's eyes shone brightly in the moonlight.

The white hem of her dress fluttered in the wind, and the gold thread in the ribbon shimmered in the moonlight.

"The night view of Fusang Sect is quite beautiful. I'll just treat it as a way to digest after dinner."

Huanming suddenly flickered in dissatisfaction.

After a bumpy ride with Ning Yue and Duan Huailin, the journey was quite long.

—You've eaten and drunk your fill and are here to digest, I'm exhausted and need to rest!

Ning Yue patted Huanming reassuringly, "...Just bear with it, we'll be there soon."

Duan Huailin suddenly burst out laughing as he watched this scene.

Ning Yue turned her head to look at him in confusion.

He met Duan Huailin's gaze: "...What's wrong?"

Duan Huailin slowly shook his head, looking down at the ground high above, his expression slightly cold.

"I will definitely protect you, junior sister."

Ning Yue smiled softly.

There was no danger encountered on the return journey.

Duan Huailin escorted Ning Yue to the courtyard gate and then stopped.

"I've set up a protective barrier here, so it's relatively safe. Get some rest, Junior Sister."

"Okay," Ning Yue stepped forward, pushed open the gate to her courtyard, and glanced back at Duan Huailin.

"Senior brother, you should go back too."

Duan Huailin watched Ning Yue's retreating figure until she entered the house before turning to leave.

……

As soon as Ning Yue entered the room, she lunged onto the bed.

Xiao Hua emerged from the consciousness space and lay lazily on Ning Yue's bedside.

He glanced at Ning Yue and said, "Sleep peacefully. With me here, nothing can hurt you."

Ning Yue was already so tired that she was in a daze.

Moved by these words, he immediately hugged Xiaohua tightly and tucked her into his arms.

The petals of the little flower were squeezed out of shape, and the two leaves were pushing and rubbing Ning Yue's cheeks.

Go to sleep! Don't hug me!

"No!" Ning Yue shoved Xiao Hua into the blankets.

The deer's eyes were half-closed, their soft, warm gaze revealing a gentle warmth within.

I love you to death!

Xiao Hua huffed good-naturedly, "I can't help it, I'm just that lovable."

Ning Yue chuckled and closed her eyes, preparing to fall asleep.

—Then I suddenly smelled a strange floral fragrance coming from the tip of my nose.

Then Ning Yue's exhausted body began to move on its own, uncontrollably.

Ning Yue: "..."

What's going on?!

You didn't get enough fun tonight, huh?!
