Si Yiqi stepped towards the central door and gently touched the halo of light emanating from it.

"Sure enough, it set up another layer of restriction on top of my original restriction."

What's inside this door?

"My palace is located in the most central area, which is also where the control center is located."

"Can't you open it?"

"no."

Si Yiqi shook her head.

"For thousands of years, although that guy has barely managed to erase the restrictions I left behind, he still hasn't been able to completely control this small world."

"As for the new restriction it set up..."

Tiny specks of crystalline energy gathered on Si Yiqi's palm.

"I don't even consider it a threat."

With a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, the once impregnable barrier above the gate gradually became covered with cracks.

Then, accompanied by a fragrant scent, the protective shield that Yun Si Ning had spent months trying to erase was easily broken by Si Yi Qi.

"That's impressive."

"Let's go."

Si Yiqi reached out and pushed open the door, and the two of them walked inside.

As she slowly made her way towards the core area of ​​the palace, Yun Si Ning reopened the system light screen.

"Sure enough, the mission progress, which had been stagnant for a long time, has started to rise again."

"Exploring the land of desire, progress 95%"

"Si Yiqi, what...does this place have anything to do with the god of lust?"

Yun Si Ning thought for a moment, then tentatively asked.

"oh?"

Si Yiqi turned her head and looked at Yun Sining with curiosity.

"You know a lot, sometimes I'm even a little scared."

Yun Si Ning smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, without saying anything more.

"It's somewhat related to the god of lust, you'll find out in a bit."

"You're keeping me in suspense again."

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

At this point, the two had reached the end of the road.

Directly in front of us stands a colossal pillar that reaches straight to the sky.

Upon closer inspection, Yun Si Ning discovered that the giant pillar was covered with densely packed runes.

"This is my palace, or rather, the control center of this small world."

Si Yiqi explained.

As she spoke, she flicked a burst of energy from her hand, which shot swiftly into the giant pillar.

The next moment, the ground shook violently, and the runes on the giant pillar were lit up little by little.

In the blink of an eye, runes of various colors illuminated the surroundings completely.

The ground shook more violently, and Yun Sining could hardly stand.

In her perception, the entire palace seemed to be rising upwards.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, it's about taking back control of this place. My palace can't stay buried underground forever."

Not long after, the shaking stopped, and an exit slowly opened in the dome.

Sunlight streamed in through the exit, and Yun Si Ning knew that the enormous palace that had been buried underground had now risen to the surface.

"Your bedchamber..."

Looking at the automatically opening exit and the giant pillars that were both technologically advanced and ancient, Yun Si Ning scratched her forehead.

"It really is unique."

She made a couple of complaints, then walked to the base of the stone pillar and reached out to touch it.

The moment she touched the stone pillar, the system quest progress reached 100%.

"The quest to explore the land of desire has been completed. Reward received: Divine Essence Pill."

"Divine Marrow Pill?"

Yun Si Ning was startled by the name, because no matter what it was, as long as the name contained the character "shen" (神), it was extraordinary.

But before she could ask the system for the detailed effects of the Divine Marrow Pill, she heard Si Yiqi say something.

"Don't just stand there, come on, I'll show you something good."

"Oh, here it comes."

After putting away the system light screen, Yun Si Ning hurriedly followed her outside.

"Aren't you curious about the connection between this place and the god of lust?"

Si Yiqi said.

The two walked out of the corridor again and came to the last door that was not yet opened.

"It smells so good, it smells so good in the back."

At this moment, the lime on Yun Si Ning's waist stuck out its tongue and sniffed it, looking completely intoxicated.

"Haha, the Azure Dragon truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient mythical beast that feeds on desire."

Si Yiqi praised.

As she spoke, she easily opened the door in front of her.

As soon as she opened it, Yun Si Ning clearly felt an extremely strong aura of desire rushing towards her.

Moreover, this desire seemed to be mixed with some strange fluctuations.

Upon encountering this sensual energy, Yun Si Ning felt an inexplicable surge of impulse within her.

She was all too familiar with this feeling; she had experienced it more than once before.

"The power of lust?"

Yun Si Ning looked at Si Yi Qi with some surprise, while simultaneously using the Desire Mantra to suppress this inexplicable tremor.

Si Yiqi smiled noncommittally and led Yun Sining deeper into the area.

"The power of lust here is so strong, what exactly is it?"

"You'll find out soon enough, don't be scared by what you see."

"You're keeping us in suspense again."

Yun Si Ning pouted and quickly walked forward.

As she walked, her pace gradually slowed down.

Not far ahead, above, there seemed to be something suspended in mid-air.

"This is...this..."

Yun Si Ning's pace slowed down until she finally stopped completely.

"this……"

She slowly opened her mouth wide and turned around in disbelief.

"See, I told you, you were scared, weren't you?"

Si Yiqi felt a little smug.

(My book is blocked because I have no one to write it. I've been in seclusion these past few days working on my new book, but I'll still finish this one. The new book shouldn't be too far away either. [heart emoji])
