Xu Yuehuai saw the door in front of her open silently again, and she reluctantly went inside.

The Imperial Advisor was meditating on the bed, his aura was somewhat chaotic, and some black energy swirled above his head. He most likely had gone mad from practicing qi cultivation.

"Come to my side." The Grand Preceptor waved his hand, and Xu Yuehuai was pulled to his side by a gust of wind.

Before she could even sit properly, the Imperial Advisor suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.

"What's wrong with you? Let's talk this out."

"Your aura can suppress the chaotic power within me. I need your help."

Without saying a word, the Imperial Advisor began to absorb the magical power within her body.

"Oh my god! That was the power I had just managed to recover from, how could it have been absorbed by someone else?" Xu Yuehuai cried out in her heart.

"How can you help me? Aren't you happy? You know that this kind of opportunity is not something everyone can get."

"Once I recover, I will give you whatever compensation you want."

"But if you resist in secret, I can't guarantee what unexpected things might happen later."

While the imperial advisor was making grand promises in her ear, he was frantically absorbing the power within her body.

Xu Yuehuai's face instantly turned ashen, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes became increasingly unfocused. The image of the Imperial Preceptor in front of her doubled into five or six images.

She listened to the other person's words, wanting to reply but unable to open her mouth; she couldn't even utter a sound of refusal.

This person is far more ruthless than Bei Wei; he's going to drain her dry!

Is it too late for her to leave now?

Unexpectedly, even after entering the Imperial Preceptor's mansion, I still ended up becoming his furnace!

Please, she originally thought she had just transmigrated to an ordinary ancient world, but she didn't expect that this ancient world would gradually become bizarre and mysterious, and would actually advance into a cultivation world.

Encountering such a bizarre situation is incredibly unlucky!

She missed Qi Guze, her two adorable children, and her kind and understanding family members like Tie Chunsheng.

How can I get back to them?

"I told you not to resist, so relax your mind and body." Seeing that Xu Yuehuai's body was instinctively resisting him, the Imperial Advisor raised his hand and patted her chest, allowing the power she had gathered to dissipate.

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

"As long as I survive this ordeal, you will be second only to me in the future."

“In this Imperial Preceptor’s mansion, besides myself, you are the most important person.”

"Oh ho! I'm about to die, and you're still making empty promises to me?" Xu Yuehuai scoffed inwardly. "Do you intend to build a royal advisor's mansion for me in the underworld?"

Even if Xu Yuehuai refused, she wouldn't be able to resist the Imperial Preceptor. This Imperial Preceptor seemed even more powerful than Bei Wei; just how many such powerful beings did their alien race have?

How many resources would it take to train a group of people who are even more powerful than them?

Xu Yuehuai was planning to use the precious stones to make more pills as soon as possible to help the locals advance in their cultivation. This way, they would have a fighting chance and wouldn't be wiped out as a whole.

"Enough! If you keep going like this, I think I'll start to harbor resentment towards the Northwest..."

She felt she was really about to die, and with all her might, she finally managed to shout out.

"Alright, alright, since you're so useful, I'll let you rest this time."

The Imperial Advisor finally released Xu Yuehuai. Xu Yuehuai collapsed to the ground beside him, her whole body trembling with fear. It was a chill that rose from the depths of her soul, instantly spreading through her meridians and freezing her blood.

"Take her to the Cold Pool," the Imperial Advisor shouted.

The servant pushed open the door and pulled Xu Yuehuai towards the back of the Imperial Preceptor's bedroom.

The cold pond contained a few blooming lotus flowers. The surrounding air was chilling, and no other plants could survive there. Only the cold pond showed a few traces of green.

No wonder there was no other vegetation when I came to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. It seems that they did not die naturally, but were killed by some kind of force.

Her body was already feeling increasingly cold; if they pushed her into the icy ditch, would she even survive?

"I don't want to go into the cold pool, send me back."

"This cold pool is a wonderful place. If an ordinary person goes in and soaks for an hour, their cultivation level can double." The servant threw her in.

"The Imperial Advisor's instruction to stay here is a great favor to you, so don't be ungrateful."

"How long you can stay is up to you. If you feel you can't hold on any longer, just get up and go back."

The servant glared at Xu Yuehuai, then turned and left angrily.

"Does this icy pool really have such powerful functions?"

Although Xu Yuehuai didn't believe it, she was already immersed in it, so she could only try to sense the powerful aura within to recuperate.

"ah--!"

She had just tried to communicate with the energy in the icy pool, but her whole body turned cold, as if she were frozen in a block of ice at tens of degrees Celsius. Her skin instantly lost all sensation, and even her breath was frozen. Her throat felt like it was filled with ice daggers, and even exhaling felt like being pierced by thousands of needles into her bones and blood.

"How could this possibly be a good medicine to help me restore my cultivation? I knew I shouldn't have believed that person's words."

"They just want me to suffer even more than I have."

Xu Yuehua gritted her teeth, trying her best to stay calm so as not to lose consciousness in the cold, which would mean she would have no chance of survival.

Her skin gradually turned pale, and even the last trace of color disappeared.

"I, Xu Yuehuai, am a person who transmigrated from modern society to this place. I have a son and a daughter with my fair-skinned and beautiful regent husband. But for the past ten years or so, we have been separated more often than not. It's either war or being hunted down. Before I can enjoy my wonderful life, am I going to die in this inexplicable place?"

"Qi Guze, Aze, I can't grow old with you in this life. I hope there will be a chance to be with you again in the next life."

She really couldn't hold on any longer; she closed her eyes and fainted.

At the moment she fainted, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze, the surface of the cold pool instantly turned into ice, and the cold lotus successfully bloomed in full at that moment.

"Ah Yue, I didn't expect you to be able to hold on for so long under these circumstances."

A gentle voice slowly approached, followed by Qi Guze, who was dressed in a white robe.

He walked across the ice towards Xu Yuehuai, his gaze towards her filled with complex emotions and pity.

"You've suffered again."

Qi Guze stroked Xu Yuehuai's cheek, and the frost on her face instantly turned into water droplets, which dripped from her cheeks and fell into the cold pool, melting the ice surface of the pool.
