"Brother, let's go!"

Zhao Yanran screamed as she struggled to deal with the two mermaid statues. However, in just a short while, she had been stabbed in many places.

Shen Ci then woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yan and retreated. Only after they retreated into the dense forest did the two mermaid statues finally return to normal.

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister Yanran, it's all my fault. I was too impatient."

Shen Ci looked at the injuries on Zhao Yanran's body with guilt in his eyes, but Zhao Yanran just smiled softly.

"It's okay, these are just minor injuries. Besides, I know you didn't do it on purpose, Senior Brother Shen."

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host, Shen Ci's favorability has reached eighty-five. Please keep up the good work, host."

Listening to the system's broadcast, Zhao Yanran's expression did not change. She pulled Shen Ci's sleeve and looked at the two mermaid statues worriedly.

"But brother, what should we do with those two mermaid statues?"

Shen Ci's gaze suddenly became sharp. He turned his head, stared at the two mermaid statues, and unconsciously grabbed Zhao Yanran's arm.

"It's okay, they are just two dead objects. I will definitely find a way to crack them."

Shen Ci asked Zhao Yanran to rest in the dense forest, while he walked around the palace. The entire palace was extremely tight, without even a window, and the only entrance was the gate.

He tried sticking the blasting talisman on the wall again, trying to blast a hole in it, but he didn't know what the gray-white wall was made of, and it didn't move at all, and not even a piece of debris fell off.

The only breakthrough at the moment is the two mermaid statues.

Shen Ci gritted his teeth and took out an eighth-grade purple thunder talisman from his storage bag.

He bought this at an auction house at a high price. He originally wanted to keep it to understand the mystery behind it, but compared with the treasures in the Dragon Palace, an eighth-grade purple thunder talisman was nothing.

Once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will be able to get as many thunder talismans as possible.

Shen Ci flew forward holding the talisman in his hand, and two mermaid statues immediately rushed towards him. He looked for an opportunity, and when the two mermaid statues approached each other, he immediately stuck the eighth-grade purple thunder talisman on the top of the mermaid statue's head.

The thunder talisman burned slowly, Shen Ci curled his lips and retreated quickly.

In order to prevent being affected by the thunder, he took Zhao Yanran and retreated several miles.

"Brother, is the eighth-grade purple thunder talisman really useful?"

"Of course."

Shen Ci said firmly.

The heavenly thunder summoned by the eighth-grade purple thunder talisman could not be blocked even by a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. He didn't believe that these two mermaid statues could block it.

Zhao Yanran raised her head and looked at the cloudless sky. It didn't look like thunder was about to fall.

She kicked the pebbles at her feet irritably and asked in her heart:

"System, where is Jiang Xuanli? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"He's dead."

"Dead?" Zhao Yanran was silent for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and asked again, "Could it be that Sheng He..."

"yes."

"I knew it, they are all trash!"

Five years ago, Wu Yan told her in person that someone from the Seven Killing Pavilion would kill Sheng He.

A month ago, Jiang Xuanli found her and vowed to help her kill Sheng He.

But Sheng He is still alive and well!

Zhao Yanran sighed. Her years of experience told her that the thunder was unlikely to fall. It was useless to rely on these people. She would have to rely on herself to enter the palace and get the treasure.

System: You may not be reliable...

"System, help me redeem the Hidden God item."

"Remind the host that the invisibility item is ineffective in the Dragon Palace."

"What!" Zhao Yanran screamed, "Why!"

The system covered its ears and explained expressionlessly: "The Dragon Palace is also the body of a giant dragon. All props are ineffective in the Dragon Palace. For example, Shen Ci's eighth-grade purple thunder talisman is useless no matter how long you wait. The thunder will not fall within the Dragon Palace."

"You mean we can't get in?"

"If you can't get in, what do you want me to do?"

The system closed its eyes helplessly, and after Zhao Yanran finished her long curse, it pinched its brows and reminded, "This is Dragon Palace. Didn't Xuan Xiao catch a mermaid for you?"

"Mermaid? Of course I know, but what's the use?"

The system patiently explained: "Those two statues are mermaid statues. If you go in wearing the flowing skirt made of mermaid skin, the mermaid statues will think you are also a mermaid and will not stop you."

Zhao Yanran nodded thoughtfully, and her eyes suddenly fell on Shen Ci beside her.

"If the invisibility item doesn't work, the charm pill can still be used."

"Junior Sister Yanran, you..."

Before Shen Ci finished speaking, Zhao Yanran's soft lips immediately pressed against his. Shen Ci's eyes widened and his heart beat wildly.

"Shen Ci's favorability is 90, 95, and 100. Congratulations to the host for once again achieving full favorability. The reward points are 10,000. The current total points are 15,089."

Listening to the system's broadcast, Zhao Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes, and immediately distanced herself from Shen Ci.

"Junior Sister Yanran, you... why are you suddenly like this... I know what you feel, don't worry, I will definitely be responsible for you!"

Shen Ci had not yet recovered from the kiss. His face was slightly flushed and he looked at Zhao Yanran with seriousness.

Zhao Yanran wiped the corner of her mouth, looked at Shen Ci with disdain, and took out the soul-soothing incense and lit it without hesitation.

"You, go to the boat and wait for me now."

Shen Ci's eyes gradually became dull. He stood up and nodded stiffly at Zhao Yanran.

"yes."

Zhao Yanran put away the soul-soothing incense and waited until she saw Shen Ci walking away before she took out the flowing skirt from her storage bag and put it on.

Shen Ci is a talisman practitioner and he looks pretty good, but what’s the use?

Zhao Yanran straightened the wrinkles on her skirt. She didn't want to share the treasure in the Dragon Palace with others.

…

Ah Yuan looked at the yellow paper on the mermaid statue in the water mirror and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Eighth-grade thunder talisman."

"Thunder Talisman? But there is never thunder in Dragon Palace."

They both looked at the clear sky in the water mirror at the same time, and Sheng He's frown slowly relaxed.

Half an hour later, the sky was still clear without a single cloud. Sheng He and A Yuan were busy stuffing the scattered treasures back into the room when the door suddenly opened slowly behind them.

Zhao Yanran raised her head and met Sheng He's eyes as he was moving the alchemy furnace.

"Sheng He? Why is it you again?"

"Zhao Yanran?"

Sheng He chuckled, put down the alchemy furnace, and drew his sword from his back: "It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road."

"You...what are you going to do?" Zhao Yanran pinched the hem of her skirt and stepped back cautiously. "Let me tell you, harming a fellow disciple is a serious crime. Aren't you afraid of being abolished and imprisoned on the cliff like Senior Brother Chu Heng?"

"You were killed by Jiang Xuanli, not by me. Why should I be afraid?"

Zhao Yanran opened her eyes slightly, and it was unknown what she was thinking of. She closed the door without hesitation and turned to flee. Just as Sheng He was about to chase her, a figure rushed out faster than her.
