Qingyu had a very long dream, a very long nightmare.

In her dream, she refused Lin Youyou's request.

The next moment, Yun Sining was captured by Lin Youyou.

She fought back desperately, burning her essence and life force, but she was still like an ant in front of Lin Youyou.

Finally, she even knelt on the ground, pleading with Lin Youyou to release Yun Sining.

However, Lin Youyou's icy gaze seemed to keep people at arm's length, as if to say, "Now you know you regret it? It's too late!"

And after that, she saw a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Yun Si Ning was stripped naked in front of her and hung high in the air.

Countless horrific scenes unfolded before her eyes, and Yun Si Ning's screams and groans echoed in her ears for a long time.

Blood and tears mingled, and Qingyu's spirit nearly collapsed.

"Senior sister, save me!!"

"Senior sister, it hurts so much!!!"

"Senior Sister—"

"Ning'er... Ning'er..."

"Ning'er!!"

Qingyu sat up abruptly, her clothes already soaked with cold sweat.

Realizing that she had just been dreaming, Qingyu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly calmed down, though she could still hear her heart pounding fiercely.

Recalling the image of Yun Si Ning pleading for help with tears streaming down her face in her dream, Qing Yu felt as if her heart was bleeding.

But soon, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"How did I fall asleep?"

She originally planned to cultivate for one night, while also keeping an eye on the dangers around her.

But she actually fell asleep without realizing it.

Qingyu quickly looked to her side, and when she saw Yun Sining sleeping soundly as before, she felt a little relieved.

She turned to the side, looked at Yun Si Ning's sniffling nose, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Yun Si Ning's breathing was even and subtle, with a faint smile on her lips.

Her hair was casually scattered on the pillow, slightly messy, which only added to her charm and cuteness.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Under Qingyu's shocked gaze, a line of small, dark purple characters suddenly appeared in the void in front of them, directly above Yun Sining's body.

"Little sister~~"

"I'm only giving you one month. If you can't get the inheritance back within a month, then say goodbye to your junior sister."

"Lin Youyou!!"

Qingyu's pupils contracted sharply, and a fear originating from her very soul instantly spread to every part of her body.

"Even this secret chamber left by Master, powerful enough to withstand Dragon Marrow Realm cultivators, couldn't stop her!!"

The small, purplish-red characters flashed by and disappeared into the air in an instant.

But Qingyu was certain that she had not misread it.

"One month..."

"One month..."

Qingyu's lips trembled slightly as the scenes from her previous dream resurfaced in her mind.

"Senior... Senior Sister?"

Qingyu's reaction eventually woke Yun Sining from her deep sleep, and she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"What's wrong?"

When Yun Si Ning saw Qing Yu's pale face, she immediately realized that something might have happened.

"Ning...Ning'er, she's here..."

"she?"

Yun Si Ning was taken aback, then immediately understood and said in great surprise.

"That Lin Youyou, how did she get in?"

"have no idea."

Qingyu shook her head dejectedly and recounted what had just happened to Yun Sining.

After hearing Qingyu's account, Yun Sining's expression also turned sour.

Hiss~~~

Dude, are you serious?

She truly hadn't expected that the other party would disregard even such a powerful protective array and sneak in unnoticed.

Playing around is one thing, but if she were really in that much danger, it would be impossible for Yun Si Ning to say she wasn't afraid.

"Senior sister, what are your plans?"

"I will do as Lin Youyou said and try to obtain that inheritance."

"Then hand it over to them?"

Qingyu was speechless for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and then nodded.

"Ning'er, compared to your safety, this so-called inheritance is nothing at all."

"Besides, this inheritance doesn't seem to be anything of the orthodox kind, so it wouldn't be a big deal to give it to them."

Yun Si Ning also fell silent. After a long while, she spoke hesitantly.

"That's not impossible, but what if the other party changes their mind after you receive the inheritance?"

“You are useful to them now, but after you hand over your legacy to them, you and I might both be silenced by them.”

"What should we do then?!"

Qingyu was somewhat flustered.

"Master is still recovering from his injuries. Does that mean we should go find the leaders of other peaks...?"

"no."

Yun Si Ning directly rejected her idea.

"Yes... I was too impulsive."

Qingyu let out a long breath.

No matter what, you absolutely must not seek help from the leaders of the other two peaks.

Doing so would be tantamount to making public the fact that Hua Yuncang was injured and in seclusion.

According to Hua Yuncang's previous statement, the three peaks of Jianping Mountain are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface.

If they learn of Hua Yuncang's accident, the balance among the three Dragon Marrow Realm experts of the Three Peaks will be broken.

And the consequences that followed...

Just as the two were deep in thought, the dark purple characters that Qingyu had seen before reappeared.

This time, Yun Sining also clearly saw the words appearing in the air.

"Don't worry, little sister, we keep our word. As long as you inherit the essence and blood, we will never harm you."
