Shu Jianyue looked at Xiao Shitou and raised an eyebrow. "You said before that it was dangerous outside, so tell me why you left the Ganges and came here?"

Little Stone twisted his body and said, "I haven't left the Ganges. I've just been walking around the Ganges."

"So, that river is the Ganges?" Shu Jianyue asked in surprise.

Legend has it that anyone who comes into contact with the Ganges River will die. If the water hadn't been as black as ink, she almost would have gotten in.

Little Stone nodded and leaned forward slightly. "You don't know?"

"I know nothing," Shu Jianyue thought with relief, thankful that she hadn't been tempted to touch the river water.

Chong Jiu looked at Shu Jianyue, "You've been to the Ganges?"

Shu Jianyue nodded, "At the time, I didn't know it was the Ganges. When I got there, the water was too dark, so I didn't dare to get too close. I just sat on it and rested for a while."

"When I left, I accidentally... took it with me."

Chong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't miss her "suddenly," and chuckled as he reminded her, "It's a good thing you didn't touch it. Touching Ganges water is fatal; medicine is useless against it."

Shu Jianyue nodded.

Chong Jiu gestured with his chin toward Xiao Shitou and asked, "What do you plan to do with it?"

Few people could recognize this as Ganges stone, but it's hard to say that some people who have read ancient books might recognize it.

Shu Jianyue looked at Xiao Shitou and asked, "What are your plans now? Now that Ni Tian knows I have you, he will definitely try every means to get you."

"He definitely won't let us go until he gets you from me. So, what do you say, should we hand you over?"

"No, help!" Little Stone jumped up, trying to leap onto Shu Jianyue.

Shu Jianyue had experienced its weight before, and without thinking twice, she immediately dodged away, saying, "Are you trying to crush me to death?"

The small stone slammed into the wall with a loud thud.

"God, Boss, Master, I was wrong. I don't want to fall into the hands of that heaven-defying guy. He will kill me and then kill me again." Little Stone struggled to dig himself out of the wall and then jumped in front of Shu Jianyue.

As for why he didn't save Chong Jiu, well, let's just pretend he didn't see it. This man listens to Shu Jianyue in everything. What's the use of begging him? In the end, he still has to listen to her opinion.

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. Kill him and then kill him again?

She wouldn't actually hand it over, since she brought the stone with her. If it encountered a monster after leaving, she could choose not to care, but since it was still in her possession, she wouldn't abandon it.

Moreover, taking things from her is like taking clay from someone who can be molded and shaped at will.

Shu Jianyue scratched her chin and looked at Chong Jiu, asking, "Do you want to take it?"

Chong Jiu nodded and kissed her. "Okay."

He knew what she was thinking, he had the ability to protect the Ganges Stone, and he actually needed the Ganges Stone as well.

Little Stone looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and realized that it didn't matter who they were with, they were a couple anyway.

But isn't it going too far not to ask for its opinion?

Shu Jianyue looked at it.

The little stone immediately burst into laughter, even though it had no expression, it still tried its best to laugh out loud.

Look how hard it is trying to survive!

Shu Jianyue barely managed to suppress her laughter. "Alright, you two sign the contract. If someone so incredibly powerful wants to get Little Stone, he'll have to beat my husband."

Chong Jiu brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear and said, "Judging from our previous interactions, he is a deep and calculating man who will definitely stop at nothing to get the Ganges Stone."

"But don't worry, your husband is no pushover either. No matter how cunning he is, he still needs to have real strength."

Shu Jianyue thought of something and grabbed his hand, saying, "What if he tries to contact the higher-ups and have them deal with you?"

"If someone from above really comes, won't you be exposed?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "It's alright. I'll find a way to use those two Chen Xin and remove the two seals. Even if people from above come, we won't be afraid."

Shu Jianyue nodded, "Then we need to go back to the bottom of that cliff to dispel it, otherwise the demonic energy here is too concentrated."

Chong Jiu looked up at the sky, his eyes darkening. "Well, there's no rush. Let's see how things go first."

Ni Tian went to give a few instructions and then came to find them. Seeing them sitting in the courtyard, he smiled and said, "Please forgive us for our poor hospitality."

Shu Jianyue leaned against Zhong Jiu, closed her eyes, and remained silent.

Chong Jiu glanced at him and asked in a nonchalant tone, "When are you taking us to the teleportation array?"

Ni Tian glanced at Shu Jianyue and chuckled, "Since you've come all this way to the Demon Realm, why don't you enjoy yourself here a bit before you leave?"

"Our Heavenly Domain City has many interesting things to offer. Would you two like to go and take a look?"

"Not interested. I just want to get out of here. The air is too stuffy, and it's dark all day long, like being in the underworld. It's uncomfortable." After saying this, Shu Jianyue slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ni Tian.

The invincible smile almost froze on his face. "This is how it is in the Demon Realm. Venerable Shu will be able to adapt in a couple of days."

"Why should I adapt to the air of the Demon Realm? Wouldn't it be better for me to go out and breathe fresh air?" Shu Jianyue looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Ni Tian was truly speechless now. "Does Venerable Shu not intend to take a stroll around the Demon Realm?"

"What's fun about the Demon Realm? Besides the gloomy sky and the gloomy city walls, what other colors can you see?" Shu Jianyue's words were like daggers to Ni Tian's heart. He was used to it and didn't feel anything, but hearing her say it made him feel like his territory was so bad.

He had been to the Upper God Realm, so he knew how beautiful it was outside. He was not used to it when he first came back. He thought about asking the demons to leave, but he forgot about those colors because he was dealing with some things, so he never thought about it again.

Now that Shu Jianyue said that, a certain greed suddenly rose in his heart again.

Chong Jiu sensed the incredible change and couldn't help but look up at him. "Some things, once done, come at a price. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Ni Tian stared at him for a while before laughing and saying, "Is there no consequence if you don't do it?"

"Just as Venerable Shu said, there is nothing but grayness here, and some of our subjects have never even seen any other colors."

"Therefore, Venerable Shu is right. Isn't it wonderful to go out and breathe fresh air? Why stay in one corner?"

Shu Jianyue frowned as she looked at him. "You're trying to pin the blame on me for what you're supposed to do. What, are you trying to make me bear the consequences?"

"Not at all, I was just saying that." Ni Tian wanted her to be involved in this karma, but he also knew it was unlikely.

With a quick glance, he looked at Chong Jiu and said, "Divine Lord, a strange phenomenon has appeared in the Demon Realm. The Ember Flame Mountain has been dormant for tens of thousands of years, but it suddenly reacted yesterday. It seems that a divine object has been born."

"I wonder if Your Majesty would be interested in taking a look? Perhaps Your Majesty can gain the approval of the divine object."
