After taking the Qiankun bag from my hand, Wen Heng turned around and handed it to Ye Ling'er, who was standing next to him.
However, Ye Ling'er arrogantly accepted the Qiankun bag with her delicate fingers, without even glancing at its contents. With a flick of her finger, she instantly destroyed the Qiankun bag in her hand with a burst of light, leaving not a trace.
Finally, she clapped her hands in disgust, her eyes sparkling as she walked towards Wen Heng, hooked her arm around his, and said coquettishly while looking at the Qiankun bag in my hand, "Aheng, I want to eat sweet potatoes again now."
Wen Heng did not resist her touch. Without even glancing at me or asking for my consent, the Qiankun bag in my hand was forcibly taken away by a force. However, I was prepared and secretly cast a spell to stop his force from taking it.
The two forces, Wen Heng and mine, kept lingering and restless on the Qiankun bag in my hand.
I stared intently at Wen Heng's indifferent face, secretly struggling against his power with great resentment, clutching the Qiankun bag tightly and refusing to let go.
Ye Ling'er seemed to have noticed the rivalry between me and Wen Heng, and she also gathered a ball of spiritual energy in her hand as if she was about to launch a sneak attack.
But I beat them to it, directly diverting the spiritual power I was using to fight Wen Heng and launching a direct attack on Ye Ling'er.
Ye Ling'er quickly hid behind Wen Heng, and as a result, the spiritual energy naturally landed on Wen Heng's chest.
Wen Heng clutched his chest and let out a low groan.
Although I knew this spiritual energy wouldn't kill anyone, I still instinctively asked him with concern, "Wen Heng, are you alright?"
But Wen Heng dodged my approach as I went to greet him.
At the same time, the spiritual energy in my Qiankun bag quickly left my hand and instantly transformed into Wen Heng's palm.
I stared blankly as Wen Heng turned around and handed the Qiankun Bag to Ye Ling'er.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ling'er, that spendthrift woman, took the Qiankun bag and smirked, saying, "I don't want to eat sweet potatoes anymore." As she spoke, a glint of light appeared at her fingertips, and she destroyed it.
Seeing her with her face and pretentious manner that looked just like mine, I really wanted to teach this lunatic a lesson. At that moment, Ye Chen leaned close to my ear and fanned the flames, saying, "Let me tell you a secret, the current Ye Ling'er doesn't have as much magic power as you."
Without his reminder, a powerful spiritual force had already gathered in my palm, ready to strike her.
When I unleashed this lethal spiritual power towards Ye Ling'er, it was intercepted halfway by Wen Heng raising his palm. The spiritual power instantly circled in his palm and finally struck my chest without mercy.
Caught off guard, I staggered back a few steps and almost fell, but Ye Chen caught me by the waist and steadied me in the nick of time.
Ye Chen, in a very indecent manner, took the opportunity to pinch the flesh on my waist and grope me, and clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk tsk, you're so skinny you're just bones."
I glared at him back, and he finally shut up.
I looked up again and saw Wen Heng staring at me with indifferent and hostile eyes. I quickly broke free from Ye Chen's grasp and stubbornly gathered my spiritual power again, attacking Ye Ling'er.
In the end, Wen Heng easily countered his attack.
But I was like a stubborn mule, or perhaps I didn't believe he would repeatedly retaliate against me.
After several rounds of attack and counterattack, Wen Heng seemed to get impatient and finally swung his Soul-Slaying Sword at me.
Although the blade didn't strike my body, the sword energy it unleashed mercilessly slashed at my shoulder.
In an instant, I felt a burning pain in my shoulder.
Looking down, he discovered that bright red blood was seeping out from a tear in his clothes.
Wen Heng pointed his sword at me expressionlessly, his lips slightly parted: "I never kill women. If you continue to fight back recklessly, then I will have no choice but to make an exception and kill you!"
I pursed my lips, looking at Ye Ling'er with a smug expression, my fists clenched tightly, anger and resentment welling up inside me.
She even held a sliver of hope that he would eventually take pity on her and not have the heart to truly kill her.
But as I stubbornly continued to gather my murderous spiritual power, Wen Heng's eyes remained as calm as ever, and he gripped the Soul-Slaying Sword, which exuded a chilling aura, and began to slowly approach me.
At this moment, Ye Chen stood between me and him, and reminded Wen Heng, "You should think carefully. If you kill her, you will never have another chance to leave this place!"
Perhaps it was Ye Chen's reminder that worked, because Wen Heng finally obediently put the Soul-Slaying Sword back into its sheath.
But I don't know if I was out of my mind, stubbornly unwilling to accept it, or just being resentful, or maybe I just didn't like Ye Ling'er and stopped when Wen Heng did something.
But I took advantage of the situation and used the spiritual power I had gathered to attack Ye Ling'er again when she was off guard.
But in the end, Wen Heng drew his Soul-Slaying Sword again with lightning speed and slashed at me once more.
As it turns out, the saying "If you don't act recklessly, you won't die" perfectly describes me.
Just moments ago, she still held a sliver of hope for him, along with a stubborn resentment, and even the jealousy she felt after seeing him with Ye Ling'er recently. But in the end, his swift and ruthless sword strike chilled her heart to the bone.
It even reminded me of Wen Heng, whom I met in the underworld seven hundred years ago. He was a time traveler from two thousand years in the future, with his son who mistook me for his mother.
Then it dawned on me... Yes, he really did find a woman who looked like me, and they even had a son together.
I slumped down, tilting my head back and forcing back the tears welling up in my eyes as I watched Wen Heng and Ye Ling'er leave.
Ye Chen grumbled and tore off strips of cloth from his clothes, pretending to be concerned and anxious as he bandaged my wounds, all the while teasing me earnestly: "I told you two wouldn't last long, why hang yourself on one tree? I wouldn't mind if you took me in as your new boyfriend!"
I couldn't be bothered with Ye Chen's rambling. I just watched as Wen Heng and Ye Ling'er returned to the territory of Ye Ling'er's Dream Demon Flower. Then I heard Ye Ling'er arrogantly order Wen Heng, "I'm hungry. Go find me something to eat, Aheng!"
Wen Heng replied gently, "Okay."
Then, it flashed in one direction and disappeared.
At the same time, several streaks of lightning and thunder began to tear through the sky, crackling and popping throughout the heavens and earth, turning everything in their path upside down and creating ravines and gullies.
However, the place where Ye Ling'er and I were was not struck by heavenly lightning.
I looked worriedly at the thunder in the distance beneath the dark clouds: "Will we be able to find food outside?"
Ye Chen said that besides the vicious demon souls sealed here, there are also living souls like us who made a deal with the Dream Demon God and are now stranded here.
They are unaffected by these ice, fire, and lightning bolts, and even have a place to live on an open ground a hundred miles away.
In their dwelling places, teahouses and taverns offer food, but it's not always easy to get.
However, Ye Chen proudly pulled out a Qiankun bag that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and waved it in front of me: "But don't worry about us not having food, my Qiankun bag isn't so easily destroyed!"
It turned out that he had set up a mechanism that would automatically hide and return to its original master if his Qiankun Bag was damaged.
Therefore, his Qiankun bag was not stolen or destroyed by Ye Ling'er.
Ye Chen took out some pastries from his Qiankun bag and handed them to me. I was reluctant to accept them, but when I saw Ye Ling'er casting a disdainful and resentful look at us, I took the food and stuffed it into my mouth.
Seeing Ye Ling'er's angry eyes wide open as she watched us eat with relish after overhearing my conversation with Ye Chen, I was amazed.
My mood instantly brightened.
Strangely, after Wen Heng went out to find food for Ye Ling'er, he was nowhere to be seen returning.
Although I said that from now on everything related to Wen Heng had nothing to do with me, I felt a little uneasy inside.
So I desperately tried to leave this place to find Wen Heng's whereabouts, but as soon as my body went an inch beyond this territory, it was as if my body was being torn apart and pulled back by an invisible force.
Finally, Ye Chen couldn't bear to see me so determined to leave this place, only to be utterly injured by this force.
Ye Chen then told me that after the ice, fire, thunder, and lightning subsided, I could leave this place for four days.
Before the next reappearance of ice, fire, thunder, and lightning, I must return to the territory of this Dream Demon Flower. Otherwise, without my soul to suppress it, the Dream Demon Flower will lose its spiritual power and be destroyed by ice, fire, thunder, and lightning.
Then none of us will ever be able to leave this place.
I then began counting the lightning bolts, feeling like each day was an eternity, to ease my anxiety.
When the deafening thunder finally subsided, I flew off in the direction Wen Heng had left without looking back...
