On their wedding night, Qianchen naturally wanted to go to bed early, but Lengyue stopped him.

"I feel so panicked," Leng Yue said, clutching her chest as she looked at Qian Chen.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Qianchen helped Leng Yue to the bedside. "Why don't you lie down for a while?"

Leng Yue did not refuse. Qian Chen took off her shoes, and she lay down.

"Get a good night's sleep, I'm right here beside you." Qianchen sat down on the edge of the bed and picked up a book to read.

Seeing Qianchen by her side, Leng Yue felt much more at ease. Clutching the hem of Qianchen's clothes, she unknowingly fell asleep.

Qianchen reads miscellaneous books about this world, describing its customs and traditions. It's somewhat similar to "The Travels of Xu Xiake," and flipping through it is quite interesting.

Before she could even finish reading one chapter, Leng Yue woke up with a start. Qian Chen quickly put down the book, "What's wrong? Why are you sweating so much?"

As Qianchen spoke, he took a handkerchief and wiped Leng Yue's sweat. Leng Yue grabbed Qianchen, "Something's wrong! Something's happened!"

"Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?" Qian Chen took Leng Yue's reaction seriously.

“I just dreamt that Mount Suxian was shrouded in black mist. Not only did I fail to complete the mission, but we were all trapped in the black mist.” Leng Yue said with lingering fear, “That black mist would devour people’s minds. In the end, we all became emotionless walking corpses, immortal and indestructible, but unable to leave Mount Suxian.”

"What kind of black energy is this, and where did it come from?" Qian Chen knew about Leng Yue's dream; wasn't it Leng Yue who saved him in his dream before?

"Where did I come from?" Leng Yue slapped her forehead. "I don't remember."

"Take your time, Yueyue, don't rush." ​​Qianchen held Lengyue's hand and looked into her eyes. "Relax, you can do it."

Leng Yue gradually calmed down. "From the west! The black mist is coming from the west!"

Leng Yue remembered that because the west side was the human realm, the people of Suxian Mountain had always felt relatively at ease. However, they didn't know that the barrier there had long been in disrepair and was slowly developing loopholes.

Furthermore, because that place was too far from the main peak, few people from Suxian Mountain went there. At some point, a large amount of black energy surged in without anyone noticing. By the time the people here discovered it, it was too late; the entire Suxian Mountain had been transformed into a hellish inferno in an instant!

At that time, Suxian Mountain could no longer be called Suxian Mountain; it should be called a place of excessive loss.

"Quickly, let's go to the west to reinforce the barrier!" Leng Yue urged Qian Chen.

Without a word, Qianchen took Lengyue and flew west. No sooner had the two left than Baishu appeared at Liuyun Cave.

"This is truly a stroke of luck!" Bai Shu said, taking a bottle out of his sleeve. He opened the cap, and a wisp of white smoke rose from the bottle, quickly disappearing into the bedding.

"With this, the princess can rest easy!" In the candlelight, Bai Shu's face became ferocious. "Don't blame me, blame yourselves for not being kind enough."

At this moment, Bai Shu heard a noise outside and quickly hid.

Qianchen and Lengyue are back.

"Who's there?" Qian Chen asked warily, shielding Leng Yue behind him. "Come out!"

Seeing that she had been discovered, Bai Shu walked out confidently and said, "It's me! You found me so quickly!"

"What are you doing here? Why are you sneaking around?" Qianchen and Baishu kept their distance.

"It's nothing, isn't today your special day? I've come to bring you something." Bai Shu smiled obsequiously, but his eyes held only a chilling intent.

"What are you bringing so late?" Qianchen stared at Baishu's face, not missing a single expression.

"Here it is." Bai Shu said, sprinkling a handful of white stuff on Qian Chen before trying to run away.

Leng Yue was clearly angry. She swept her leg and simultaneously thrust her sword at Bai Shu. This sword was a dagger that had transformed, and Leng Yue was now very comfortable using it.

Bai Shu wasn't hit in a vital spot, but her movements were still hindered. At this moment, Qian Chen reacted, reached out and pointed, trapping Bai Shu on the ground.

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!" Bai Shu stopped flattering and shouted indifferently, "You'd better kill me now, or you'll definitely regret it!"

Leng Yue ignored him and looked at Qian Chen with concern, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Qianchen also carefully checked himself and found nothing. But looking at Bai Shu's resolute expression, it didn't seem like he was playing a prank.

"What exactly did you just scatter?" Qianchen asked Baishu.

"I won't tell, you'll all be in trouble! Hahaha..." Bai Shu laughed unrestrainedly, then said jealously, "You're so useless, I really don't know why the princess is so hung up on you."

"Are you from the Bamboo Fungus Clan? Are you from Yu Luo?" Leng Yue asked Bai Shu.

Bai Shu also looked at Leng Yue, "Of all the people you could look like, you had to look like that woman and marry that man. You deserve to die."

Leng Yue clearly sensed a hidden meaning in Bai Shu's words: "Did you kill that woman too?"

"Hahaha, that woman deserves to die, and so many people want her dead. I just did what everyone wanted to do." Seeing that Leng Yue was interested in this matter, Bai Shu took the initiative to speak, attracting their attention.

"I bet you're just from the Bamboo Fungus Clan and the Flamefire Clan, right? 'Everyone,' you really know how to make excuses for yourself." Leng Yue looked down at Bai Shu. "How did you manage to succeed back then? I don't think your cultivation level is that high. How could you have had that ability back then?"

Leng Yue remembered Su Yue saying that Bai Shu was very young, only two hundred years old. If that's the case, Bai Shu's age doesn't match the timeline from back then at all.

"You'll never have imagined this in your lives! Hahaha... I succeeded! Princess, I succeeded... How could this be?" Bai Shu's face changed like a Sichuan opera mask, from smug to extremely ugly.

Leng Yue held a porcelain bottle in her hand, looking at Bai Shu with disdain. Qian Chen was holding a soul-controlling beast and was putting it into the porcelain bottle. The originally ferocious soul-controlling beast was now obedient in Qian Chen's hands, not daring to struggle at all.

Bai Shu couldn't believe her eyes. "How could this be? How could this happen? When...when did you find out?"

“You concealed it very well,” Qianchen replied, “but the same trick cannot be used repeatedly.”

"And you couldn't control your eyes," Leng Yue added, "You're clearly not cut out to be a good agent!"

"Eyes?" Bai Shu asked, puzzled.

"Your eyes were constantly fixed on the direction of the bed. Although you tried your best to hide it, a careful observer could still notice," Qian Chen explained casually.

"How did you know I released a soul-controlling beast?" Bai Shu was unwilling to accept it. Why did they see through it so easily?

“The scent,” Leng Yue answered confidently, “I happen to remember the scent of the Soul-Controlling Beast. However, I still want to thank you today for letting me know that I was ambushed by you back then!”

"You...you...you are that woman?" Bai Shu asked incredulously. "Impossible! I remember your aura too! You carried a faint demonic aura; there's no way I wouldn't recognize you!"

"Demonic energy? So that's how it is!" Leng Yue nodded. No wonder Bai Shu always chased her before; it turned out that the old man could smell the demonic energy on her!

"Then how did you determine that it was mine?" Leng Yue asked again.

"That's because..." Before Bai Shu could finish speaking, he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, dying.
