Damn, I never expected that not only would I lose a Puppet Body, but my original self would also be in danger. If my soul shatters, I will completely vanish.
Before anyone around could realize something was wrong, Yun Zhi Yue suddenly collapsed, spitting blood and gasping weakly.
The chains that were meant to attack Yun Zhi Yue trembled violently and swiftly vanished from sight.
Ouyang Yan, who was closest to Yun Zhi Yue, was startled by the scene and immediately rushed to pick her up. Just as he was about to ask what happened, he was roughly pushed aside by Shen Xingchuan, who seized Yun Zhi Yue from his arms: "Yun Zhi Yue!"
Yun Zhi Yue clutched Shen Xingchuan tightly, blood pouring from her mouth uncontrollably. She had truly gotten herself into trouble this time; if the Emperor were in a bad mood, this world could be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
But what worried her most was that if Shen Xingchuan's identity was discovered and he was killed on the spot, she would go mad before she died.
No matter how much she wanted to deny it, after so many lifetimes, her feelings for the King of Hell grew deeper with each passing day.
In just a few breaths, as everyone reacted and tried to rush over, their thoughts froze. All remained still except for the three people within the circle of candlelight.
A man in green robes descended and glanced at Yun Zhi Yue with raised eyebrows: "Interesting, someone from the Underworld. The soul within you belongs to the King of Hell? Such audacity to summon Ben Jun."
As he finished speaking, Yun Zhi Yue gritted her teeth against the excruciating pain and said: "Suye Emperor, I am the grass from Yun Gong. Save me."
Su Ye was taken aback and in an instant appeared beside Yun Zhi Yue. He pressed one hand against her forehead, his celestial energy probing within her. He exclaimed in surprise: "It really is you."
With his celestial energy flowing, her spirit began to heal visibly; Yun Zhi Yue's complexion improved before their eyes.
Upon hearing that it involved the Emperor, the Reincarnation Stone had already quietly retreated; it didn’t dare show itself. After all, if Dao Master wasn’t around, it was just a stone—no problem pretending to be impressive among others.
But pretending in front of the Emperor would turn it into dust in an instant.
As Yun Zhi Yue recovered, Shen Xingchuan's tense nerves relaxed slightly, yet he still held onto her tightly.
Seeing this, Su Ye's eyes sparkled with amusement: "Aren't you entangled with the Heavenly Emperor and stripped of your Xian Gu? Normally speaking, you'd be doomed if you fell into the Underworld. But it seems you have some luck on your side. However, this person can move freely in my celestial domain—interesting indeed. Let me see who it is."
Just as he reached out to probe her soul, he was blocked by Yun Zhi Yue.
"Suye Emperor," she said urgently. "He is just a human—nobody special. Aren't you uninterested in matters beyond plants? Stop looking! I summoned you for that woman; do you recognize her?"
Before he could respond, Ouyang Yan quickly denied: "Sister-in-law, he is not Yan Su; we have mistaken him."
Yun Zhi Yue knew exactly what was happening. Hearing this made her bite her lip; she truly didn't know how to explain it so that Ouyang Yan wouldn’t look at Su Ye any longer.
Su Ye fixed his gaze on Ouyang Yan; his expression shifted several times before he transformed into a rugged man in military uniform who smiled and said: "Ouyang Yan, are you looking for me?"
Ouyang Yan widened her eyes in disbelief. "How is this possible? Who are you?"
Yan Su stepped forward and embraced Ouyang Yan, saying, "Let's talk privately." Although the two had vanished, the Immortal Realm still existed, and the only ones who could move were Yun Zhi Yue and Shen Xingchuan.
Yun Zhi Yue immediately kissed Shen Xingchuan to soothe him. "I'm sorry if I scared you earlier. I'm fine, and it didn't shorten my lifespan. That guy just now was Su Ye; he has a fondness for plants, and I used to have some dealings with him."
