Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 93 Shen Yueli, who likes to engage in direct combat

"Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Xiao to lead the way."

"nature!"

Xiao Qingyao quickly turned around and led the way.

This time, she did not ride on her sword, but instead walked obediently in front.

"Huh?"

Su Jiu'er peeked out from her husband's arms, placed her two little paws on his wrists, and began to curiously look around.

At the same time, he didn't forget to glare at Shen Yueli one moment and Xiao Qingyao the next, to warn the two that their husbands were hers.

They were extremely busy.

Nowadays, she has gotten used to her husband carrying her with one arm.

Although it's not as comfortable or reassuring as holding it in my arms as it used to be, there's really no other way.

Given her current condition, she really couldn't defeat that witch.

However, judging from their conversation, it seems that Shen Yueli can only be with her husband in the secret realm.

Once we leave the secret realm, won't that be our home turf?

That senior sister is no match for her.

With that thought, the little fox's tail swayed gently and happily.

Even the way she looked up at Chen Lianshu was full of anticipation.

"Woo~"

Then Su Jiu'er started acting coquettishly towards Chen Lianshu, trying her best to make her presence known.

"—

—

Xiao Qingyao, who was walking silently ahead, felt a sense of unease.

It wasn't because of the little fox's glare from behind, but because of Shen Yueli's calm and indifferent gaze.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Shen Yueli suddenly spoke, her tone ordinary.

"Um?

'

Xiao Qingyao didn't stop walking; she subconsciously turned around.

"You just said Lingbao was chasing you?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"That's rather unusual."

Shen Yueli smiled faintly, lightly touched her lips, and teased the other party with a playful tone: "Logically speaking, a spirit treasure will not attack people without reason."

"They'll be attacked proactively—well—in the past, it's mostly by those with malicious intentions."

"But you don't seem like that kind of person to me."

9

The girl pretended to ponder, then asked in confusion, "What's going on now?"

"?"

'

Xiao Qingyao choked, but forced herself to answer, "Perhaps I haven't received Lingbao's approval yet—"

"I see."

Shen Yueli's look of sudden realization seemed to be intentional.

And she did it on purpose.

"To have these spiritual treasures hold such a grudge, I thought Fellow Daoist Xiao had done something to incur divine wrath—"

Shen Yueli wanted to continue speaking, but then she felt Chen Lianshu gently squeeze her hand.

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Shen Yueli glanced sideways, and although she didn't say anything more, she blinked, looking completely innocent.

Chen Lianshu felt quite helpless about this.

This saintess really never stops.

Whether she was with Xiao Qingyao, Mu Qianxue, or even Jiu'er, she always liked to compete with them.

"Hehe~"

The girl responded with a smile.

That's just her personality; she really enjoys seeing others embarrassed and helpless.

It took about half an incense stick's time to walk.

The three people and one fox walked through a small grove, and a scene completely different from the surroundings gradually appeared ahead.

The once lush trees came to an abrupt end, replaced by an extremely empty open space.

At the end of the open space was a small hill.

At the foot of the mountain is a huge stone gate, its doors tightly closed and covered with intricate patterns.

Moreover, there was also a golden light shield around it.

This golden hue stood out strikingly in the night, enveloping the stone gate and the surrounding area.

And inside the light shield—

Dozens of magical artifacts, gleaming with spiritual light, were scattered around.

The shapes of knives, swords, whips, hammers, rings, etc. are all different.

Without exception, they are all offensive magical artifacts.

These magical treasures also moved slowly within the light barrier, patrolling regularly like guards.

"Right here."

Xiao Qingyao subconsciously lowered her voice and pointed at the light barrier: "Don't be fooled by these spiritual treasures. Once you enter the light barrier, not only will your cultivation be suppressed by 30%, but you will also be attacked by various mechanisms and formations."

And the more she talked, the more aggrieved and heartbroken she became.

Eleven spirit swords were summoned, one of which had a nick in its blade.

"Look, this gap was left by those magical treasures."

"This spirit sword was something I obtained with great difficulty, yet it couldn't withstand their attacks."

"Those magical treasures must be of a high grade."

Chen Lianshu responded lightly and then turned the topic to the spirit sword in the other person's hand.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, may I take a look at your spirit sword?"

"Oh? Okay."

Xiao Qingyao was taken aback for a moment, but did not refuse.

After all, this was just a spirit sword she used regularly, not her natal sword.

Moreover, this sword is already a defective product.

The moment he received the spirit sword, a familiar, comfortable feeling washed over him.

As expected, the sword actively cooperated with his movements.

System information also appears in a timely manner:

【Imperial Sword】

[Affection Level: MAX (Inseparable)]

[Rank: Mid-level (Acquired Spiritual Treasure)]

Chen Lianshu looked again at the floating magical treasures within the light barrier.

Xiao Qingyao is right, the quality of those spiritual treasures is indeed higher than that of this spiritual sword.

"?"

'

Xiao Qingyao, however, was dumbfounded.

She originally thought that Young Master Chen would use his spiritual power to lift it up, but she didn't expect him to take it directly with his hands.

They didn't even face any rejection?

You should know that she is very picky about the spiritual sword she uses.

It took a lot of effort to tame her in the first place.

But the other party didn't react at all the moment they took it?

Even extremely compliant?

It's like—like a beautiful woman meeting her ideal man?

Did a spirit encounter its destined master?

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you also a sword cultivator?"

Xiao Qingyao finally couldn't suppress the question in her heart.

"Me? Not really."

Chen Lianshu shook her head.

"...

Xiao Qingyao opened her mouth, wanting to ask more questions.

But feeling the timing wasn't right, he ultimately held back.

"So what should we do?"

"Um--"

Chen Lianshu began to analyze.

According to Xiao Qingyao's description, if they tried to force their way in, they would not only be suppressed by the formation, but also have to deal with the attacks from traps and magical treasures.

Judging from the intricate patterns on the stone gate, there must still be a mystery to be solved.

Therefore, forcing our way in is probably not an option.

The best approach is to first break down the outer layer of defense.

Then we need to find a way to break the mechanism and a solution from our sect.

While thinking about it

He suddenly remembered what Shen Yueli had mentioned before, and compared it with his own smooth-sailing experience and the various "coincidences" he had encountered.

An idea gradually emerged.

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying this, Chen Lianshu walked towards the light shield.

Surprisingly, Shen Yueli did not stop him. She released her grip on his hand and let him go.

She trusted that her husband wouldn't do something without preparation.

When Chen Lianshu walked to the light barrier.

He held his breath and slowly reached in with one hand.

Instantly, the dozens of magical treasures seemed to sense something, and all stopped moving, buzzing.

The next second—

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Dozens of magical treasures hurtled towards Chen Lianshu like meteors!

"!"

Xiao Qingyao and Shen Yueli both tensed up, ready to lend a helping hand.

But unexpectedly—

The magical treasures did not attack Chen Lianshu as expected, but instead stopped all around him and hovered in mid-air.

"Buzz"

They trembled gently, emitting a soft, melodious hum, while radiating a gentle glow.

Some even approached us, but still did not attack.

That appearance hardly resembled an attack.

Is he clearly trying to curry favor?
