Ling Yue was unaware that she would never have another chance. By the time she received the news, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu had already left. Ye Xiruo's departure caused a huge uproar in the entire elite circle. That guy actually managed to catch the eye of the Pill King Palace! Fortunately, in their encounters with him, they were the ones who suffered losses, while he remained stubbornly oblivious and didn't suffer any damage at all. Oh well, at least they didn't cause any major disaster.

The emperor's most beloved little princess was ordered to stay at home for three months to reflect on her mistakes upon returning home. It was said that she had offended someone powerful in the Danwang Palace. The emperor also realized that if this girl was not disciplined, she might cause even greater trouble at any time.

In short, Ye Xiruo's departure didn't have much impact on the Western Continent. Ling Yue was severely reprimanded by Ling Feng after returning. What a wonderful opportunity she had to establish a connection with Ye Xiruo—a future Divine Master, the only one of its kind on the entire continent. Most importantly, Ye Xiruo had saved the entire Ling family's life. If it weren't for Ye Xiruo, the Ling family would have been wiped out by the Han family long ago; how could they have turned the tide, destroyed the Han family, and become the true ruler of Maple Forest City?

Ling Yue, however, is ungrateful. She has been in the royal city for so long before finally meeting Ye Xiruo. What will the young master think? Sigh, this daughter seems smart, but she is just self-righteous.

It seems Ye Xiruo has already returned to the Pill King's Palace. We'll send over a bit more spirit stones this year as a small compensation. The Ling family has absolutely no ungrateful members.

During the three months after returning, Ye Xiruo finally had plenty of high-grade spirit stones to squander. As a result, she became engrossed in seclusion and couldn't extricate herself. Finally, on a certain day in the second month, she successfully broke through and became a seventh-grade alchemist.

Jing Li nodded calmly: "It should have been done a long time ago."

Ye Xiruo also knew that her master was right. In the year she returned to Earth, she hardly cultivated. She couldn't refine pills as much as she wanted, and she had to eat meat sparingly because she didn't know when the spiritual herbs would run out and the meat would be gone.

Every day before eating, I had to specially remove impurities from my body; those days were truly indescribable.

Her ultimate goal was to kill Feng Yi, but when Feng Yi actually died before her eyes, she didn't feel the joy she had imagined; instead, she felt a sense of confusion. From falling in love to facing each other in death, she had never imagined things would turn out this way. Everything seemed to be spiraling out of control towards the unknown. Fortunately, her brother Xiu Qi was still by her side.

She also has everything she cares about in the Taiyan Continent.

Three months later, they finally returned to the Danwang Palace.

Everything seemed to be the same as before, but in Ye Xiruo's eyes, she truly regarded the Danwang Palace as her own home, and felt a sense of excitement and exhilaration as if she had been wandering outside for a long time and had finally returned.

Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Senior Sister Su Xin, and Senior Brother Xu Qing were all there. Looking at these familiar faces, Ye Xiruo's smile grew wider and wider.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yeah, you heartless bastard! You and Xiu Qiyu let us go off to have some alone time, and then you just abandoned us like that. You're so cold-blooded." Su Xin, dressed in a red tight-fitting robe that accentuated her sexy and charming figure, grabbed Ye Xiruo's hand and launched into a tirade.

"Senior Sister Su, I was wrong. Next time, let's travel around the continent together."

"That's more like it."

The eldest brother's face remained unchanged, still that adorable baby face. The only difference was that his aura had intensified, and he was now at the late stage of the Transformation Realm. Compared to the eldest brother, Ye Xiruo felt like a complete fake female lead. Her own ridiculous system wasn't even as thrilling or absurd as the eldest brother's special physique. The main thing was the Void Spirit Physique. In the early stages, it didn't show any special features, but the further they cultivated, the more unhindered their progress became, provided they had enough spirit stones. Once they accumulated enough cultivation, they could level up at will—that was truly enviable!

Unlike her, who has the halo of a divine master, what good is it? Every day, besides attracting a bunch of assassins to secretly kill her, I really can't think of any other cheat codes she has.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on your great improvement in skill!"

"Little Yezi is doing well too, it's good that she's back safe and sound." Unlike Su Xin and the others, Zishu really knew about Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu's experiences. Now that he could see Ye Xiruo alive and kicking, he was already very gratified.

Compared to his eldest brother, the second brother's stoic expression had deepened even further. He still wore the same black, tight-fitting clothes as always, holding his beloved sword in his arms. His face had also lost all its childishness, becoming more mature and resolute. However, his eyes could freeze someone to death in an instant.

However, upon seeing Ye Xiruo, Si Hao still managed a slight smile.

"Welcome home, junior sister."

"Thank you everyone. I'll be treating you to dinner at Night Palace for the next few nights. Chef Zhang will be cooking for you. Are you surprised or excited? Are you looking forward to it?"

Su Xin patted Ye Xiruo's shoulder irritably and said with ill intent, "Junior Sister, do you think one meal is enough? We've been worried about you for so long, do you think a meal can make up for it?" Her eyes flashed with electricity.

When their eyes met, Ye Xiruo decided to back down: "What do you think is the most suitable, Senior Sister Su?"

"I won't give away more than five jars of the spirit wine from Zuixianlou. I want the deluxe version that you brewed yourself."

Ye Xiruo shrugged: "What bad luck, I just handed it over to my master."

"It's alright, we don't necessarily have to drink right now. We can just write an IOU."

Is it really necessary to be so ruthless? They even prepared an IOU, just waiting for Ye Xiruo to sign and put her fingerprint on it.

"Three jars, plus two meals, you can choose."

"Junior Sister is so cruel."

"It's already good enough that we have something to drink." The speaker was Senior Brother Zishu.

After signing and sealing the document, Ye Xiruo was finally released and quickly ran back to Ye Ruo Palace. All she wanted to do now was lie down and sleep.

As for Xiu Qiyu? Naturally, she was dragged off to spar with Zishu. This pair of bickering lovers had finally reached a stalemate in skill, so how could they not have another good fight? Let's see who really makes a living off their looks.

Faced with Zishu's challenge, Xiu Qiyu was naturally unafraid, and the two quickly went to the martial arts arena to spar with each other. Zishu had stayed in Lingshan for several years, and his figure and speed had increased a lot. Coupled with his powerful palm techniques, Xiu Qiyu could not break through for a while. The two white figures clashed hundreds of times in an instant, so fast that their figures could not be seen at all.

The disciples of the Pill King Hall who had been watching all hoped that Zishu could win, defeat Xiu Qiyu, and make the martial artists admit that they were inferior to the Pill Masters.
