After pondering for a long time, Zuan finally nodded and said, "Okay, I can agree to that. However, if I find my companions along the way, I will consider whether or not to continue helping you."

A hint of displeasure flashed across the beautiful woman's face, but she ultimately nodded and said, "Alright, let's seal the deal with a high five!"

After speaking, she raised her fair hand, and Zu An gently patted it. He was surprised that this vine demon's skin was even more delicate than a human's, which was really not in line with the image of his grandmother in his mind.

At this moment, the beautiful woman spoke up: "Since we are already partners, let's get to know each other again. My name is Jing Teng, and you haven't told me your names yet."

"My name is Zu'an, and this is Qiu Honglei." Just as Zu'an was about to introduce Wei Suo on the other side, he had already run over with a lewd grin.

"My name is Weisuo. It's a pleasure to meet you. I never expected to have such a beautiful grandmother." Weisuo smiled ingratiatingly, rubbing his hands together, looking as lewd as could be.

Jing Teng ignored him and looked at Zu An: "Then you guys come back with me. This place is too dilapidated. It's a good opportunity to go back and get Sakura's urn. We can leave when it's light. This world is more dangerous at night."

Hearing her describe the night as dangerous, Zu'an didn't feel the need to travel overnight: "Okay!"

Soon the group arrived at a dense forest. The trees here were exceptionally dense, and there was a thin layer of mist all around, so much so that even divine sense could not detect how far away it was.

There was an eerie cry every now and then, and walking through it gave one an involuntary chill.

The forest seemed to be a maze, but fortunately, Jing Teng led the way. In many places where there seemed to be no path, a path suddenly appeared. She was tall and slender, with a graceful and swaying figure. She walked with a natural and charming gait, without a trace of flirtatiousness, but rather with a dignified and elegant rhythm.

Wei Suo felt a strong urge to try it. If it had been her who came to absorb his yang energy, he would have guaranteed not to resist at all. But it was that senior sister who came instead!

Qiu Honglei secretly transmitted her voice, saying, "Be careful, it might be a trap."

Zuan nodded, secretly increasing his vigilance, and tentatively asked, "There seems to be a sophisticated formation set up here?"

If Xie Daoyun or Yan Xuehen were here, they might be able to see some clues. Unfortunately, although I have some knowledge of feng shui, I am not proficient in this kind of formation.

Jing Teng nodded slightly: "That's right, it was specially set up to keep out some people with ill intentions."

Zuan was somewhat surprised: "You're also skilled in formations?"

This woman knew the Taoist Nine True Words before, and now she can also perform such exquisite formations. She's going to ascend to heaven!

Jing Teng glanced back at him, raising an eyebrow: "Who says demons can't do these things?"

“That’s true.” Zuan chuckled and didn’t ask any more questions.

Soon they arrived at a huge rock covered with enormous vines. Jing Teng didn't stop at all and walked directly toward the rock.

The vines on the boulder automatically retracted to both sides, revealing a spacious opening.

Zuan and the others secretly admired the ingenious design. If she hadn't personally led the way, outsiders would never have realized that this was a cave.

After the group followed her into the cave, the view suddenly opened up, and the cold and eerie feeling outside was swept away, replaced by a vibrant atmosphere, with even the air seemingly filled with abundant spiritual energy.

Elegant pavilions and waterside terraces appeared before us, resembling the gardens of a Jiangnan water town from a previous life. It was impossible to tell that we were actually in a cave.

Qiu Honglei couldn't help but ask, "This doesn't seem to be the cave we were in before. Where exactly have you led us?"

She had just left markers along the way, but once she entered this place, she could no longer sense those markers from the outside.

Jing Teng glanced at her and said calmly, "Don't worry, this is a blessed land I created for daily living and rest. There is no danger."

Zuan was taken aback: "You can create a space?"

"Is that not allowed?" Jing Teng's lips curled up slightly, a hint of pride flashing across his face, as if he really enjoyed seeing his ignorant attitude.

Zuan was extremely shocked. This woman was indeed quite strong, but she was still far from being able to open up a space.

Even someone as powerful as Zhao Hao might not have the ability to create space. The skilled rune masters in the academy and the imperial court can make storage bags and the like, but the space they create can only hold inanimate objects and cannot accommodate people. This space, strictly speaking, can even be considered a small world, just rather miniature.

What level of attainment did this woman reach to create such a world?

"Don't listen to her nonsense," Mi Li's voice rang in my mind at this moment. "Legend has it that ancient immortals could create a blessed land for their daily cultivation and seclusion. This woman obviously doesn't have that ability. She probably just accidentally obtained some treasure from an immortal, and this blessed land just happened to be there."

Zuan was somewhat surprised: "Are there really immortals?"

Mi Li said irritably, "Didn't you see that in the Summer Secret Realm of the Demon Clan last time? How can you ask such a question?"

Zuan chuckled to himself. It was true; those secret realms had a sense of unreality that sometimes made him doubt their reality.

"Sakura, take them to the guest rooms." Jing Teng paused. "I need to rest, don't disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary."

After saying that, he drifted away gracefully, and his every move made Wei Su's eyes almost pop out.

"Yes!" Sakura bowed, then smiled and said to Zuan and the others, "Please follow me."

After settling Vesso in, he turned to the two men from Zaun and asked, "Would you like to share a room or two rooms?"

Qiu Honglei's face flushed slightly: "Two rooms will do, but they have to be next to each other."
