There is a sacred spring in the Hongyun Palace, where he bathes every time.

He has a habit of bathing in the Lingquan Spring whenever he is in a bad mood, encountering difficulties, or in a good mood.

Because he bathes naked, he always sets up a barrier to prevent others from peeping at him.

When he returned from the spirit world that time, he received important news, so he asked Ye Ling to come over immediately. He took a special bath in order to meet Ye Ling.

That time, I probably hadn't seen Ye Ling for too long, and all I could think about was her. I forgot to set up the barrier for a moment.

As luck would have it, he was floating naked in the spring when Ye Ling, who was rushing over, bumped into him.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and stared at each other for more than ten seconds.

He was certain that she had seen everything that she should have seen and everything that she shouldn't have seen that time.

Before he hid in the spring, he saw the surprise and raised eyebrow in her eyes.

She said she would apologize, but every time she apologized, her expression and eyes drove him crazy.

One second she was saying, "I really didn't see it," and the next she was smiling and saying, "I never expected my senior to be so talented."

Hongyun: "..."

She would tease him from time to time: "Senior, I really can't tell! You look so abstinent on the surface, but you have such a perfect figure!"

Every time she said that, he wanted to shut her up and make her stop.

They are so familiar with each other, having known each other for thousands of years, that they often banter with each other.

The so-called reserve and etiquette are only for outsiders; they don't exist between the two of them.

That's why she didn't believe he loved her.

Yes, only the senior brother's doting affection for the junior sister.

Ye Ling looked at the orderly line of souls here and called out the Night Rat in her space: "You stay here and guard this place. No evil cultivators or ghost cultivators are allowed to approach."

When Ye Shu saw Hong Yun, especially the way he looked at the young lady, he knew that his young masters were in competition again.

His gaze was even more intense than the way the young master and others looked at the young lady.

But he didn't dare to look too closely, only glancing at the other person, because the other person's aura was too strong and he dared not look at them for too long.

He looked around and found that he was on the sea and there was nothing else. He didn't understand why the young lady had asked him to guard this place. What was he guarding?

He bowed to Ye Ling and said, "Miss, may I ask what I am to guard?"

Ye Ling touched his brow, and the scene before his eyes changed.

Before them appeared many people—no, ghosts. They looked dazed, dressed in thin clothes, and lined up, walking step by step into the pitch-black hole ahead.

What kind of black hole is this?

He only glanced at it, but he couldn't resist joining the group and wanting to go inside.

"Don't underestimate me. Your cultivation level is too low. You could easily lose yourself and end up on the road to the underworld."

Road to the Underworld?

The night rat was so frightened that it quickly calmed itself down and dared not look around.

Ye Ling told him, "Your mission will be over once all the souls here have gone in. However, it will take some time, so you can bring one or two people to keep you company."

Night Rat looked at the endless line; at this ghostly speed, it would take at least a month.

"Young Miss, could you let Wei Yi come over? We're evenly matched, and we can spar a bit if we have time."

“No, he needs to stay somewhere else.”

"Then let's call the little monkey out."
