Hearing this, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ji Jiuying was about to leave when she turned back to Ye Qingchen, saying, "Qingchen, why is there no celestial attendant in your palace? It's rather deserted."

Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "Perhaps you were used to being alone in the mortal world... Yue'er, there's no need to worry."

Ji Jiuying sighed softly, nodded, and turned to leave.

Call her cold or heartless, but even knowing what he did for her afterward, she could never let go of the matter of the God-Slaying Sword.

Does she hate him? No, it's just that there's an indelible rift between them.

After leaving the Heavenly Palace, from a distance, one could see that Bailihe and Xianji seemed to be arguing about something, but with Ji Jiuying's arrival, their faces instantly returned to normal.

"Jiu'er, how is it? Did you get the Five Elements Beads?"

Ji Jiuying nodded, her gaze falling on the two men's uncomfortable expressions: "Got it? What were you two talking about just now?"

"N-nothing," Fairy Maiden said with a smile.

Baili He tactfully changed the subject: "Jiu'er, are we going to the Demon Realm now?"

"Before I go to the Demon Realm, I need to find someone first."

"Okay, if you need any help, be sure to come to Dad."

"And me, Yue'er. If you suffer any injustice, Aunt Fairy will protect you even at the cost of her life."

Ji Jiuying looked at the two of them, her heart warmed, and she smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying goodbye to the two, Ji Jiuying went to Penglai Island alone and headed straight for the Jade Void Palace.
