Are we going to have to rehearse some intimate scenes?

The other party is a married woman, and her cultivation level is so high.

When he was with Ling Fengxue, they at least had some past relationship as fellow soldiers fighting against a common enemy.

This time... there's absolutely no friendship to speak of!

Ye Feng steeled himself and walked to Zhao Yinman's desk.

"This way! Closer!"

Zhao Yinman frowned and gave the order, so Ye Feng could only walk past her.

The distance between the two decreased from five meters to four meters.

Three meters...

Two meters...

Zhao Yinman's fair skin, long eyelashes, and fine lines at the corners of her mouth... all became so clear.

Just as Ye Feng was about to reach within an arm's length, a powerful aura suddenly erupted.

Ye Feng's eyes widened, and he covered his chest with both hands.

"boom!"

His back slammed against the pillar, then he slid down.

Ye Feng grimaced as he slowly stood up, looking at Zhao Yinman ahead with lingering fear.

"Sorry... I... I'm a little allergic to men, you're getting too close!"

It was merely an outburst of energy, without utilizing any laws or domains.

Although my back hurt terribly from the impact, thankfully there was no actual injury.

Allergic to men... why would she want to play the gigolo?

This job is really not easy.

Fortunately, the system upgrade will be completed soon. I'll find a chance to steal some immortal bricks then, no matter who you are!

"Go and rest! I'll call you if I need you!"

"Yes! This subordinate takes his leave!"

...

Watching Ye Feng leave, Zhao Yinman couldn't help but rub her temples in annoyance.

It seems that Ding Lin's solution wasn't perfect either.

If it were someone you just know, you could probably fool them.

But if I run into Xu Shuyue, I'm sure I'll be given a hard time...

Actually, the aura emanating from this "Han Li" wasn't unbearable.

The outburst of power just now was actually Zhao Yinman's subconscious self-protection.

Zhao Yinman shook her head, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being.

What's more important now is the defense of the front lines.

Zhao Yinman turned and walked into the back room.

The back room was pitch black; you could barely see your hand in front of your face.

"Grandma Chen!"

With a soft call, the room instantly lit up.

These rays of light, one by one, all emanated from the white-haired old woman sitting cross-legged in the center of the room.

"Your Highness!"

"Grandma's Light and Darkness Laws are about to be perfected. It seems she is not far from the Immortal King realm!"

The old woman gave a bitter smile and shook her head, saying...

"This Path of Light contains nearly ten laws: speed, brightness, warmth, purification... To master it, I need to comprehend at least two more... The Law of Darkness, on the other hand, is easier to comprehend near the territory of the evil god. Ultimately, achieving a union of light and darkness won't be easy, and I wonder if this old woman has that much time left..."

"Grandma will definitely be fine! After this evil tide ends, we'll go to the Sun Secret Realm again, and she'll surely be able to combine light and darkness and advance to the Immortal King Realm!"

Grandma Chen shook her head with a wry smile again.

There are countless late-stage Golden Immortals, but Immortal Kings are extremely rare. If it were that easy, they wouldn't be called Immortal Kings...

"I hope so! Did Your Highness seek me out because of the evil tide?"

"That's good... I wonder if Grandma has any thoughts on this?"

Grandma Chen shook her head.

"The emperors have long agreed that those at the Immortal King level are not allowed to participate in territorial disputes. If Immortal Kings do not participate, Golden Immortals are the highest rank! Even if we lose territory on the front lines, we can simply wait until the empire is ready to take it back... Moreover, given the current speed of the evil god army, by the time they arrive, the imperial army will have already arrived as well... Until then, it will only be some harassment at most!"

Zhao Yinman breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The army of evil beasts swept in, overwhelming everything. Even she, a celestial being, felt immense pressure.

Hearing Grandma Chen's analysis, she immediately felt relieved.

This moment of relaxation immediately brought back another headache.

"Why don't you go to this meeting by yourself, Grandma Chen? I think I'll pass... so I don't run into anyone I don't like!"

A smile appeared on Grandma Chen's face.

"Didn't you already have a plan? I think it's quite good!"

A blush appeared on Zhao Yinman's face.

"Even my grandma makes fun of me... It's just that I feel disgusted when men get close, I can't help it."

"I think this Han Li is quite good... He didn't even complain when you knocked him away for no reason."

"The person Linlin chose is definitely good!"

Grandma Chen didn't mean that, and upon hearing this, she shook her head and said...

"This person... is not simple! The laws within his body are extremely solid. He may seem like a newly ascended True Immortal, but his true strength is probably no less than that of most ascended True Immortals in the late stage!"

"Is he really that powerful? He just advanced to True Immortal and he can already surpass other late-stage Ascendants... Doesn't that mean his strength is stronger than most native Profound Immortals?"

Zhao Yinman felt that she had blasted Han Li hundreds of meters away with just a little bit of her aura, and she couldn't see what was so strong about him.

But Granny Chen is a top-tier Golden Immortal, so naturally she can see things that ordinary people cannot.

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't sense any dark aura about him at all, I would have suspected that he was the Dark Ascended that the dragon knight was talking about!"

Dragon Knight... Dark Ascended...

Zhao Yinman's face turned solemn. Zhao Feiyan, the Flying Dragon Knight, was a Celestial Commander of the Phoenix Guard, just like her.

However, Zhao Feiyan was a powerful celestial being with a title.

With the dragon spirit within her realm, she is more than a match for an ordinary Golden Immortal!

"The intelligence reports match up in terms of time, location, and ascension participants... But Han Li's strength was initially at the Immortal Realm, and his aura is pure, completely unlike that of an evil god-level Earth Immortal who has refined the mortal realm as his territory?"

Zhao Yinman could naturally access such intelligence using her privileges.

Grandma Chen nodded as well.

"The information shows that the Earth Immortal Lord of Jin Yuan Star had already tested him with the Fire Maple Leaf, and there was no abnormality whatsoever... Theoretically, he shouldn't be that evil cultivator... However, it's extremely rare for someone to cultivate to the ninth level of the Immortal Realm in the lower realm, not be a first-generation ascendant, and not have gone through the Ascension Platform... You must not trust this person too much!"

Zhao Yinman smiled easily upon hearing this.

"Grandma, you know perfectly well that I loathe men. Let alone trusting them too much, even if I wanted to, my body just couldn't do it!"

Grandma Chen nodded in relief, thinking about Zhao Yinman's situation.

"If you feel there's something wrong with this person... it's safer to put him back in the logistics team."

This time, Zhao Yinman did not express her opinion.

She had just announced that Ye Feng would become her personal guard, and now she's letting him go...

Changing her orders frequently will damage her authority.

Moreover, he didn't see any threat in a submissive immortal.

"Grandma, don't worry about this. Even if he's that evil cultivator, a mere Earth Immortal, he can't cause any trouble for me..."

Zhao Yinman thought for a moment, then said,

"I still have some fire maple leaves on hand, just in case. I'll go try it out now!"
