Ayao walked slowly forward. There were many withered bones on the ground, probably the remains of cultivators who came here seeking opportunities but died.
Ayao walked in front, with Xu Mubai following beside her.
As they walked, Ayao stopped. Ahead lay a passage, which looked rather eerie. Although there were no corpses on the ground, there were signs of a fierce battle all around. Ayao looked at Xu Mubai beside her and said in a commanding tone:
"You go and scout ahead first."
Xu Mubai, far from being angry at A Yao's order, was actually pleased that she had spoken to him and asked him to do something. Seeing his delighted expression, A Yao thought he was hopeless. "Lust is a dangerous thing," she thought, "this guy doesn't know the power of beauty." The thought that he would act the same way with other women made A Yao want to whip him right then and there.
Although Xu Fengzhi was once very infatuated with her, Xu Mubai still had Lou Munan's influence on him, and not only Lou Munan, but also Jingxin Wuchen, so Ayao always disliked him. She wanted to sleep with him, but also wanted to beat him to death.
A very conflicted feeling.
"Fairy, please wait a moment."
Xu Mubai, holding a folding fan, took a few steps forward. With a gentle wave of his fan, the many runes on its surface glowed with golden light, and golden waves of light spread through the air like ripples. He then saw many more layers of protective barriers emanating from the passage ahead. Looking at these layers of barriers, Xu Mubai immediately began to break them.
A quarter of an hour later, he had broken through the restrictions. His face was slightly pale. Looking at A Yao, who had been standing silently to the side, he smiled and said:
"Fairy, please!"
Ayao gave a soft snort and flew forward.
Seeing that he had gone to great lengths to help A Yao break the restriction, but A Yao was still so cold and aloof, Xu Mubai felt a wave of frustration.
From a young age, he was the center of attention, surrounded by admirers. With his illustrious family background, handsome looks, and extraordinary talent, he was always the epitome of a charming young man in the eyes of women. He was used to female cultivators admiring him, and even those who didn't admire him were still gentle and polite to him. He had never met anyone like A Yao.
She took his things first, and he didn't even care, yet she's still so domineering and unreasonable.
Oh, right, her cultivation level is not as high as his.
Xu Mubai felt a little resentful, but when he saw A Yao's figure, that resentment disappeared.
He followed her to a spacious alchemy room.
The alchemy room was covered in dust, and a skeleton sat cross-legged. That skeleton was perhaps the original owner of this place; his magical power had decayed, and no one knew how he had died. Xu Mubai looked around and then focused on a huge alchemy furnace. Within that furnace, there were still faint fluctuations of spiritual energy. He looked at A Yao and said:
"There are spiritual energy fluctuations in this alchemy furnace; perhaps the pills inside still have value."
Ayao glanced at it, then cast a spell on a pill furnace floating in mid-air. The furnace emitted a blue light and then opened. Several golden pills flew out from inside.
The pills were still incredibly rich in spiritual energy. Although Xu Mubai couldn't immediately identify what kind of pills they were by scanning them with his divine sense, he could tell from the spiritual energy they emitted that they were valuable. However, with a wave of her hand, A Yao took all the pills, leaving him with not a single one.
Xu Mubai: "..."
To Ayao, all these things are garbage.
But she enjoyed seeing Xu Mubai's resentful expression.
Ayao looked around and collected anything of even slight use, leaving nothing for Xu Mubai. Only when there was nothing left to collect in the alchemy room did she move on to other places. Upon encountering any restrictions in those areas, she made Xu Mubai break them. In short, she relentlessly made Xu Mubai work, but never gave him any benefits.
Let's see how long this guy can hold out.

Rumble—
Inside the enormous cavern, a man dressed in white, holding a folding fan, was battling two fire pythons. With a wave of his hand, numerous pink petals appeared in the air, radiating a red glow, each petal as sharp as a blade. These petals clashed with the two fire pythons, and then, under the control of magic, they coalesced into a gigantic azure dragon.
The azure dragon opened its massive jaws and bit both fire pythons to death.
After killing the two fire pythons, the azure dragon transformed into flower petals and scattered.
Xu Mubai landed gracefully, turned around with a smile to look at A Yao standing to the side.
Ayao said coldly, "Who told you to kill these two fire pythons? I was planning to keep them as spirit pets."
Xu Mubai said aggrievedly, "Fairy, you...you didn't say that just now."
Ayao snorted coldly, ignored him, and turned to walk forward.
Seeing her coldness towards him, Xu Mubai felt a surge of anger. For the past few days, he had been the one putting in the effort, and he hadn't taken any of the benefits from her. Yet, she hadn't even offered a thank you, and instead, she was speaking coldly to him.
Is her heart really that cold and hard?
This was a grand hall, and hanging inside was a painting. Ayao walked towards the painting and looked at it. The painting depicted mist and various flowers and plants. Xu Mubai walked over and stood beside Ayao; they gazed at the painting together.
"Fairy, this painting..."
Xu Mubai felt that the painting was a bit strange. He stared at the painting, and the things in the painting started to move. When he looked at it with his divine sense, a vortex actually appeared in the painting. A Yao exclaimed in surprise, and her body was sucked into the painting.
"A fairy!"
Xu Mubai was shocked and immediately grabbed A Yao's hand.
However, the vortex in that painting was too attractive. Xu Mubai couldn't pull A Yao out; instead, he was sucked into the painting himself.
————
In the eerie space shrouded in mist, vibrant flowers bloomed everywhere, exuding a rich fragrance.
Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in the sky, and two figures fell from above, crashing into the flowerbed. Bang! The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out.
Petals fluttered, and the branches trembled.
Amidst the flowers, a handsome man in white lay beneath a young woman in purple, who pressed down on top of him. A purple veil fell from the woman's face, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face. The man beneath her gazed intently at the breathtaking beauty so close to him, his breathing quickening.
Ayao looked at Xu Mubai, who was pinned beneath her, and saw one of his hands touching her breast.
Xu Mubai clearly noticed this as well, and his ears quickly turned red.
Snap!
Ayao slapped Xu Mubai hard across the face, stood up, and glared at him angrily.
"Fairy, fairy, I didn't mean to," Xu Mubai hurriedly explained.
"So it was intentional?" Ayao said viciously.
"No, no, I didn't, it wasn't intentional," Xu Mubai said awkwardly.
