"What do we do now?" Lian Han asked Ning Jue and the other person.
Qianya waved his hand, "Don't look at me. The military should be the most familiar with the entrance to the Demon Abyss, and it's always been the hardest to find. It's just luck that we stumbled upon it. Whether to go or stay is up to the Major General to decide."
Seeing that Li Ying remained silent, Lian Han continued, "But the natives there are also considered to be from another race, right? Has no one from your tribe ever gone in to see them?"
"...Let me emphasize again, I am human."
"Oh." Lian Han nodded, but inwardly he didn't think much of it. So what if he's human? He's been completely accepted by the Ice Clan, and has even become their First Ice Palace Master. How could he possibly still be biased towards humans? There's nothing wrong with calling him an Ice Clan member.
"Starship, slow down and prepare for a space jump to escape the Demon Abyss. Also, send the location of the entrance to the military." Li Yingmo issued the order at this moment.
A starship pilot immediately answered, "Yes, sir!"
"Is this military starship a warship?" Lian Han asked in surprise.
"Miss Lian Han seems to know a lot about the Demon Abyss."
In their eyes, she had never been exposed to these things. Knowing that she had accidentally said too much, Lian Han was not flustered and immediately found a strong support for herself, "I heard Uncle Ning mention the Demon Abyss before."
Uncle? This time it was Li Yingmo's turn to be surprised. The general valued this person highly; he had never been so friendly to any junior before. And he even told her all this—
Paying more attention to Lian Han, Li Yingmo said, "These kinds of disguised warships are very common in the military. Ordinary starships don't have their speed, and the mission cannot afford to fail."
Lian Han nodded, indicating that he understood.
The warship slowed down and changed course, and a giant silver black hole tore open behind it, initiating a jump.
As Lian Han watched the black vortex representing the entrance to the Demon Abyss shrink, he unexpectedly recalled Cang Ming's words—"I'll be waiting for you to enter the Underworld Palace by next year at the latest!"
It was like a curse. She didn't think much of it at the time, but later, every time she thought about it, she felt a chill run down her spine. The Demon Abyss's appearance this time seemed more like a reminder to her not to forget him, to forget that curse.
The old man also said that no one can defy the will of Cangming...
Suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder, and Lian Han snapped back to reality, only to hear Qian Ya ask, "What are you thinking about?"
"Think of a mortal enemy."
"As your enemy, and a mortal enemy at that, he must be very unfortunate."
Lian Han found it funny; she should be the one who was unfortunate.
But seeing the pity in Qianya's expression and the fact that he spoke as if stating a fact, he truly believed it. Lian Han suddenly lost his smile, his eyes flashing with fierce fire, "It is very unfortunate."
Just because no one has defied Cangming's will in the past doesn't mean no one will in the future. The misfortunes that the Blood Nether Palace once brought her should be repaid by her own hands.
Thinking about it this way, even Han found Qianya more agreeable. "Thanks."
Seeing that Lian Han's fighting spirit was ignited, Xing Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief. Lian Han didn't know that every time she thought of Cangming, it was fraught with danger.
"It was nothing," Qianya smiled and withdrew his hand.
Beside him, Li Yingmo, who was keeping a close eye on the starship, also paid close attention to the two. However, watching their interaction, his unease grew stronger; he felt he had overlooked something. But what could it be…?
Zhu Yanxing.
In the girl's bedroom, the girl in the mirror stands tall and graceful, with blue hair and blue eyes. She is a little beauty, but she carries a sharpness and dignity that should not be present for her age.
The girl stood in front of the mirror, neither particularly upset about her current appearance. After all, her original look had been far too flamboyant; now, while she was beautiful, it wasn't breathtakingly so. It just looked a little awkward.
Someone clapped and applauded from behind, saying, "It's already very similar."
"Your Highness Qianya, you've made arrangements for us, but what about yourself?"
“Me?” Qianya pointed to himself, then chuckled. “Young Miss, you don’t think you’re a member of the Shui family just because you’ve changed your skin, do you? Their water control abilities can’t be faked. You’ll have to leave that to me.”
"Can you do this?"
Qianya smiled, with confidence and pride, "Give me your hand."
The girl, Lian Han, extended her right hand, and Qian Ya placed a ring on Lian Han's hand, saying, "It can help you."
"Just this little thing?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow, looking at the delicate blue ring on his finger. "What is this?"
"You don't need to worry about what it is, Miss. I will disguise myself as someone outside the Shui family later so that I can take care of you. Just please make sure to keep this item safe."
Hearing the seriousness in his tone, Lian Han nodded, indicating that he had made a mental note of it.
"By the way, where is Major General Li?"
“He’ll be here soon. Before that, you’ll need to receive this substitute’s memories.” Qianya handed her a box.
Lian Han opened it, and inside was a rhombus-shaped crystal, which looked very similar to the rhombus-shaped crystal that Qianya had taken from Bingmo.
Thinking about that thing made Lian Han feel heartbroken. She had compressed the memory into a corner of her mental sea, but after a short period of not remembering it, it simply disappeared on its own. It was as if it had expired, and every time Lian Han thought about it, she felt depressed.
What is this?
"Shui Yiyue's memories. Extracted using the Ice Clan's methods, without requiring the Human Federation's memory transplantation technology. You only need to hold the crystal."
"Like that time with Bingmo?"
Qianya smiled and said, "Yes."
Lian Han glanced at him suspiciously, knowing that he wouldn't cheat her in this matter, and picked up the crystal.
A dark light shone in her eyes as memories flooded her mind, but this time the impact was minimal. In an instant, she learned the entire life story of the girl named Shui Yiyue.
Seeing the crystal quickly turn into dust, Qianya was somewhat surprised, but quickly asked, "How does it feel?"
"Shui Yiyue is your cousin?" Lian Han looked at him with a questioning gaze.
She had initially thought Qianya was just a nobody in the Shui family, but it turned out he was a direct descendant. And this young master, Shui Yiyue, was actually her cousin. To kill his own cousin and then personally extract her memories was truly baffling.
Qianya remained calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, "It was my cousin who almost drowned."
Lian Han suddenly recalled the scene of Shui Yiyue pushing Qianya, a boy, into the water. "I'm sorry."
"Why are you being so apologetic? It wasn't you who pushed me. Even if you can smoothly process more than ten years of memories, you might not be able to fully adapt. You should rest in your room first. I'll go check on the Major General."
Lian Han nodded.
Shui Yiyue's memories are actually not complicated. As a child, she showed outstanding talent for controlling water, so her every move was strictly controlled by her family, and she had no childhood at all. When she was a teenager, her family recommended that she go out to study, including becoming the contact person of the heavens, all of which were in accordance with her mother's wishes.
He lived like a puppet.
However, she was not a puppet after all, and she had her moments of disobedience to her mother. The boldest thing she ever did was to disobey her mother's wishes, get a boyfriend, and bring him into her camp to receive messages from all the heavens, leaving the Shui family patriarch helpless against him. In a fit of anger, the patriarch banished him to Zhuyan Star.
This is also the character Li Yingmo will be playing this time—Fan Tu.
