Ye Qinghan watched Dongfang Jue slowly walk into the secret realm and could only say, "Master, do not worry!"

Qinghan has already helped you win over the saintess Li Shiyao, now she'll go and help you win over this princess Dongfang Jue!

Since we're encountering danger in a secret realm, well, what danger isn't danger?

The existence of the eldest disciple of Lingxian Palace is her greatest danger!

All she has to do is let Cheng Liang save her, right? At worst, she'll be beaten half to death and then handed over to Cheng Liang.

In Ye Qinghan's eyes, Dongfang Jue was not even as threatening as that stupid saintess. As long as he didn't come to compete with her for her master, everything would be fine!

"Qinghan, I'm a little worried. How about I go with you?"

"Master, please don't worry, I will take care of my safety."

It's not that I'm afraid you'll get into danger; I'm afraid that if you go in, they'll all be in danger!

Hehe, Master really is a prophet!

At least, Ye Qinghan had no intention of letting Shangguan Rou come out alive!

As for that Dongfang Jue, if Qinghan doesn't beat the shit out of her, she's lucky she's holding on tight!

However, poor Shi Yao, Ye Qinghan did not intend to make things difficult for her. After all, this girl would have to be Cheng Liang's toy for the rest of her days, which was not easy for her!

Thinking about this, Ye Qinghan felt that he was really too kind!

However, Ye Qinghan's actions were not impulsive, but rather a calculated move.

Despite refusing his master's offer, Ye Qinghan resolutely entered the secret realm.

My master has already defied the heavens by changing my fate, and you, Dongfang Jue, want to benefit from it too? What kind of person are you?

Who isn't a princess at heart?

I, Ye Qinghan, am also of royal blood. Am I proud of that?

Am I proud?

You'd better just go and be Cheng Liang's toy!

The secret realm was not quite what Ye Qinghan had imagined. He had originally thought it would be a dark and damp cave, but it turned out to be a dense forest.

However, it was still dark and damp, and the few stars in the sky were probably just an illusion created by the secret realm.

Although Ye Qinghan felt that he was incredibly strong, he did not dare to be arrogant. After all, this was a secret realm left behind by an immortal, and even someone as strong as Ye Qinghan could only proceed cautiously.

Soon, the experience-delivering minions appeared, accompanied by the stench of death, a large horde of skeleton soldiers marched out from the depths of the forest.

Seemingly formed from the corpses of cultivators who died in this secret realm, Ye Qinghan noticed that the skeleton soldiers all had some weathered strips of cloth on them.

If it were formed by magic, it probably wouldn't wear clothes.

Just as Ye Qinghan was about to reach for his sword case, he heard a child's voice. Even a fool would know that the annoying guy had arrived!

I never imagined that once I entered the secret realm, I would have to take care of the child myself!

"My sister is weak, Shiyao will protect you! You mere fodder soldiers! Don't you dare hurt my sister!"

Ye Qinghan was amused. Looking at the little guy who was about the same height as him standing in front of him, he could only laugh.

"Sister, you've come at the perfect time! Let's join forces and take care of these disgusting bastards!"

Ye Qinghan had relatively little prejudice against Li Shiyao. Although she was a bit silly, she didn't seem to have any bad intentions!

Ye Qinghan originally intended to kill the skeleton soldiers instantly, but since Li Shiyao was here, he might as well see how much she knew about this secret realm.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, though not particularly intense. While the skeleton soldiers outnumbered them, they were mostly low-level minions; even if Ye Qinghan was merely going through the motions, a single sword strike could kill a whole group of them...

Li Shiyao surprised Ye Qinghan a little. Although she was a bit simple-minded, she actually had some skills!

Golden light danced within the killing formation, only slightly inferior to Ye Qinghan on the other side.

The kind-hearted Shi Yao would occasionally come to help Ye Qinghan, but Ye Qinghan saw it as a provocation...

The skeleton soldiers were only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining. Even with their large numbers, they couldn't stop these two killing gods and were quickly slaughtered to the point of becoming an endangered species.

"Sister, you're really skilled! No wonder the elder warned me to be careful of you. I didn't know you were this powerful!"

Ye Qinghan crossed his arms, rolling his eyes inwardly. "Then you should just listen to the elder!"

"You too, that surprised me."

Li Shiyao acted as if she hadn't heard at all, and took a steamed bun from her backpack and handed it to Ye Qinghan...

Li Shiyao stared with her clear, bright eyes, her gaze full of expectation and goodwill.

Ye Qinghan was speechless. Even if Li Shiyao were allowed into Lingxian Palace, she probably wouldn't be able to catch his master's eye. She would probably be pestering him every day!

Even if you cured that brain, you'd still drool over it!

"Don't make that face, it's not cute, really..."

"Really? The elders all say that Shiyao is very cute, and men all like Shiyao's type."

"The elders are just kidding you, trying to make you happy."

Shi Yao nodded seemingly absentmindedly, then moved the hand holding the steamed bun closer, almost touching Ye Qinghan's face!

......

This guy wasn't even listening to what I was saying!

Ye Qinghan accepted the steamed bun, but threw it away as soon as he turned around. It wasn't a matter of whether he was hungry or not. They were in a secret realm now, and what if this little fool gave him a rough but meticulous thing?

Ye Qinghan didn't care about the rare treasures in the secret realm; the key was that she didn't want to disappoint her master.

So even if you think this little fool is unlikely to poison someone, you should still be careful.

"Sister, you eat so fast! Is it delicious?"

"Mmm, delicious, the meat is tender and flavorful, my sister really likes it."

Ye Qinghan glanced at the half-eaten meat bun in Shi Yao's hand, answered casually, and then turned his gaze to the mechanism in front of him.
