Chapter 757: She Cannot
Azi: "Yes, sir!"
Chi Ye put away the communication stone and turned to look at Qing Zhu standing behind her: "How is the Autumn Feather Ancestor doing now?"
Qingzhu respectfully replied, "A few days ago, Ancestor Qiuyu came to the Demon Realm alone to diagnose the Demon Lord's injuries. Ancestor Qiuyu has now left the Demon Realm for Fufeng Spring, presumably to prepare the ingredients for refining the Nine-Turn Ice Jade Pill."
Chi Ye hummed in agreement and said calmly, "With the help of Ancestor Qiu Yu, the fire poison in Li Yuan's body can be cured."
After she finished speaking, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Now that things are mostly settled on Li Yuan's side, it's time for her to take action...

The human realm, the sacred religion.
With the ceremony for bestowing the title of Holy Maiden drawing ever closer, Yu Muhan's schedule was packed every day, leaving her with almost no free time. Even eating and drinking had to be done on time.
Since the day she was defiled by the Holy Lord in the Holy Lord's Temple, she has numbly accepted all arrangements—it's not that she hasn't tried to resist, but whenever she makes any move to resist, the Holy Order will threaten her by seizing her mother's lifeline.
Is this how she's going to spend her life?
Late at night, Yu Muhan couldn't fall asleep. She walked alone to a big tree outside the church, raised her head slightly, and stared intently at the night sky.
The sky was dotted with stars, but none could illuminate her eyes.
Yu Muhan's expression was somewhat blank. At this moment, she heard a faint sound coming from not far away.
She turned her head and saw two dark figures sitting on the high wall, waving their arms at her.
Yu Muhan's eyes darted around, and he strode over to take a look, only to find that it was someone he knew—Yun Fusang and Xie Qingui!
“Fusang? Qin Gui? You…” A look of astonishment slowly appeared on Yu Muhan’s face. “How did you get here?”
Yun Fusang leaped down from the high wall and gestured for her to be quiet: "We've come to see you."
Yu Muhan was stunned for a moment. Looking at her teammates who had fought side by side with her in the past, her eyes reddened and tears instantly filled her eyes.
"Someone's coming!"
After whispering a reminder, Xie Qingui pulled Yun Fusang into the nearby bushes.
Footsteps sounded behind him. Yu Muhan quickly suppressed all emotions on his face, turned around with a cold look in his eyes, and saw that it was a Saint who came to patrol the area.
The girl, draped in a white robe, stood motionless. Coupled with her icy expression, she resembled a ghost that had come to take a life in the middle of the night, frightening the saint so much that his face turned pale.
After seeing clearly, the saint immediately bowed and said, "I'm so sorry, Your Highness! I didn't know you were here..."
Yu Muhan said expressionlessly, "There's nothing unusual here. You can go and patrol other places. I want to stay here alone for a while."
"Yes! Yes! I'll leave right away!"
The saint was clearly still wary of Yu Muhan's current status as a quasi-saintess. He dared not look her in the eye, and with his head down, he quickly stepped back and left.
Watching the saint walk away completely, Yu Muhan suppressed his coldness and turned to look at Yun Fusang and Xie Qingui, who emerged from the bushes.
Yun Fusang walked up to Yu Muhan and looked her up and down. After a while, she gripped Yu Muhan's hand tightly and asked worriedly, "Muhan, you look very listless. Did the Holy Order bully you?"
A bitter feeling slowly crept into Yu Muhan's heart.
She longed to tell them everything that had happened since she came to the Church, without missing a single detail.
But she couldn't...
