At this moment, she lay on the crystal coffin, facing the boy inside. Seeing his exquisite face, she couldn't help but feel a pang of longing and murmured, "If I could be trapped here with someone as handsome as you forever, it wouldn't be so bad."

But I'm truly unwilling to accept this. The person I once loved actually treated me like this. I... I must make that scumbag suffer a terrible death, otherwise I won't be able to die in peace!

Because of her intense emotions, Yang Qiuyu aggravated her injuries and coughed up a mouthful of blood, which landed on the crystal coffin.

She was annoyed that she had soiled the crystal coffin when, unexpectedly, her blood seeped into it and disappeared without a trace, restoring the crystal coffin to its original state. To her surprise and delight, she discovered that she had developed a slight mental connection with the crystal coffin.

This is... a blood oath? Yang Qiuyu couldn't believe it; what was happening before her eyes was real.

It wasn't until she tried to move her mind that the crystal coffin that was originally beneath her suddenly appeared in her sea of ​​consciousness, and only then did she believe that she had truly recognized the crystal coffin as her master.

Inside the spatial artifact, Lan Dian couldn't help but say, "Master, aren't you... being a bit too disrespectful to the group owner? If he finds out later, he'll be furious."

Chu Nian said, "If I don't tell you, and you don't tell me, how could he possibly know?" She then gave everyone present a warning glare.

She paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, who among you can think of a more handsome young man than my little Lin?"

Tuoba Hongyuan and the others quickly shook their heads in unison.

Xiao Jin scoffed, "If you ask me, the Northern Emperor's appearance isn't much worse than that kid surnamed Lou."

Everyone turned to look at him again.

Xiao Jin felt the stares from everyone and couldn't help but say, "Isn't that right?"

No one answered; they simply turned to look at Chu Nian.

Chu Nian: "Xiao Linzi is indeed very beautiful, but she is not the same type of beauty as Xiao Xiao Lin."

Lan Dian asked curiously, "So, Master thinks that someone like the group owner might immediately attract Yang Qiuyu, which is why he used the group owner's appearance?! Why would Master have such a guess? And judging from Yang Qiuyu's reaction, it seems that Master's guess is quite correct!"

"A bunch of idiots!" Suddenly, another voice echoed from the void. "Your master had already discerned that woman's state of mind beforehand, which is why she arranged things this way. Do you think she's like you, spending her days farming and watching plays? If she hadn't orchestrated this in advance, would you have had such a wonderful show to watch?"

Everyone was quite surprised.

Hu Tiantian asked in bewilderment, "Master, who is this person speaking?" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at where Chu Nianzhi was, and was surprised again: Uh, where is he?

Chu Nian had already teleported into the spatial artifact where the insect egg was located, staring at the enormous "hot air balloon" and demanding, "Tell me, how did you manage to spy on us in another dimension?"

The hot air balloon scoffed, "Is that so difficult?"

Chu Nian even felt its massive body tremble with extreme pride. After staring at it for a while, he snorted coldly, flashed away, and waved his hand to set up multiple layers of magic arrays to isolate the spatial artifact as he left.

"This broken knife, thinking it can keep us from seeing the world? Ha, dream on!"

"That's right, we are the most powerful insects, capable of seeing through the vast world."

"She can't keep us locked up for long!"

"But let's not leave yet, there's no food anywhere else."

"Yes, yes, I don't want to go hungry again."

"I really want to eat sashimi. When can we go to that world where there is sashimi?"

...

Even with multiple layers of magic arrays, Chu Nian could still clearly sense the conversations between the insects inside the egg within this spatial artifact. She now suspected that the egg did not belong to any realm in the book, but was a special creature born with the ability to penetrate space.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why they can see and hear so many things inside another spatial artifact.

Chu Nian really wanted to grab Lin Jingting and Lou Qianzong right now. One of them had traveled through many spaces and even created the Underworld himself; the other had experienced multiple interstellar civilizations in one world. Perhaps one of them had come into contact with knowledge about this kind of insect at some point in their lives.

Unfortunately, while Chu Nian could contemplate it, since she forged that boundary stone, she hadn't been able to travel to the underworld through any of the worlds she'd traversed. As for Lou Qianzong, she had no idea where he was now.

She can't rely on either of them right now. She'll have to rely on herself for this!

Thanks to the successful recognition of the crystal coffin as its master, Yang Qiuyu's serious injuries were quickly repaired by the powerful magic of the crystal coffin. Moreover, she also successfully broke the seal set by Zhou Cong and escaped from the ancient tomb by using the crystal coffin.

To her slight disappointment, after the crystal coffin merged with her body, she discovered that the handsome young man inside had vanished. She pondered this throughout her journey back, but couldn't quite understand it.

But now that she has escaped with her life, she is already extremely fortunate and dares not ask for anything more, so she puts the matter aside for the time being.

She now controls all of Zhou Cong's money. If she really remains trapped in that ancient tomb, it won't be difficult for Zhou Cong to get his money back.

The problem is that Yang Qiuyu also came out, and Zhou Cong didn't know that she had come out. She even returned to their city of Y before him.

When Zhou Cong finally found all the cards, passbooks, safe deposit box passwords, and account numbers in Yang Qiuyu's room and went to the bank to retrieve the treasure from the bank safe, he discovered that the cards had been deactivated, the passbooks had been reported lost, and the safe had been emptied and returned to the bank just a few hours earlier.

Zhou Cong was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Yang Qiuyu was definitely not dead, and had even returned before him, transferring all her assets.

Even though he was reluctant, he still dialed Yang Qiuyu's cell phone, only to hear an electronic voice saying, "Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service."

Either she deleted her account, or she blacklisted him.

So, he'll have to put in a lot of effort to find her now! Zhou Cong sneered.

In his view, no matter how capable Yang Qiuyu might be in the eyes of others, in his eyes as an immortal, she was just an ordinary cultivator in the spirit world.

He used to think this cultivator was very ambitious. In the degenerate age of Dharma decline, amidst the loneliness of losing all her fellow disciples, she still relentlessly cultivated the path to immortality. Such a person, striving alone in solitude, inevitably evoked a sense of sympathy in him, hence his deep affection for her.
