In fact, Shen Yunhao's journey has been filled with life-and-death experiences and constant turmoil, making his path incredibly arduous.
Upon closer examination, most of these causes and effects stemmed from the people around him—whether it was the feud between Mo Yan and the Blood Sect, the power struggle within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, or assisting Zhu Li in dealing with the succession crisis of the North Sea Dragon Clan…
This was the first time that such a massive causal relationship had directly affected him, involving unheard-of aspects such as interdimensional travel and visitors from other worlds.
The dangers and power struggles that may be hidden behind it are far deeper and more unpredictable than ever before!
Therefore, he had to attach great importance to it.
Sending Zhuli to investigate was partly to prepare for potential dangers, and partly because he genuinely wanted to figure out his mysterious past.
In the secret realm behind the bronze door, Liu Yueqi had asked a few questions, but hadn't delved into them. Who knows what deeper meaning lay behind that...
"And Sister Li'er..." Shen Yunhao's tone became more serious, "This matter must be investigated by you personally, in secret."
"No matter how small the clue, it must not be known to a third person other than you and me! Including those gold threads on my body, absolutely no one can know about them, not even… Uncle."
The reason Zhuli was chosen to handle this matter was because the two could communicate regardless of distance through the White Dragon Lantern, which was far more convenient and discreet than other means of communication.
Seeing Shen Yunhao's seriousness, Zhu Li nodded earnestly: "Okay! I understand. I will find a way and be careful."
"And there's one more, most, most important thing!"
Shen Yunhao held her soft little hand, his gaze fixed intently on her eyes. "You must be careful! No matter what you find out or what suspicious signs you encounter, your own safety must come first. Sister Li'er's safety is a thousand times, ten thousand times more important than those vague truths and secrets!"
Hearing this, the little white dragon felt a warmth in his heart, but unconsciously raised his chin, his tone carrying a hint of pride: "I know! Don't underestimate me, I am the only dragon in the North Sea in the past thousand years to successfully inherit the Ancestral Dragon's Holy Soul, my strength is now far beyond what it used to be, and I am more than capable of protecting myself!"
As she spoke, she got up, intending to immediately begin making arrangements.
But just as he reached the door, his steps suddenly froze.
She suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing, her eyes filled with scrutiny: "Wait! I suddenly remembered something. If I leave, then you and that stinky fox... wouldn't you be able to live happily ever after in this Demon Emperor's Palace without any fuss?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao's lips twitched involuntarily.
Although... he did have a tiny bit of a thing for that fluffy fox tail deep down, Zhu Li's rapid leap of thought still caught him off guard.
"Look at you, talking nonsense again."
He quickly put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, "Xiao Ruo is, after all, the little princess of this Demon Emperor's Palace, with a noble status. So many clansmen are watching. How can she be like what you said, Sister Li'er... cough cough... that thing."
"I'm still the seventh princess of the North Sea Dragon Palace!" Zhu Li felt her guess made more and more sense as she spoke, her cheeks puffing out slightly. "And what happened? You, you lecherous scoundrel, still managed to send me to the North Sea Dragon Palace!"
Shen Yunhao: "..."
"No! I can't just leave like this!"
Zhu Li immediately turned back to the stool and sat up straight, adopting a "heavy responsibility on her shoulders" posture. "I have to stay here and keep an eye on you for the other sisters who haven't arrived yet! We absolutely can't let you be fooled by that cunning vixen! Once your injuries are fully healed, we'll go back to Yunzhou together to investigate!"
Shen Yunhao was speechless for a moment, never expecting that Zhu Li could come up with such a righteous and awe-inspiring statement!
The key question is whether the "vixen" she's talking about is actually a vixen in the traditional sense; nobody knows...
However... Shen Yunhao naturally understood her little white dragon very well. Although she seemed to be speaking with confidence, her little schemes were already obvious.
He sighed, got up, walked to the door, looked around, and then closed the door tightly.
Zhu Li was taken aback by his sudden action, and instinctively turned her head to the side. "Why...why did you suddenly close the door?"
Shen Yunhao remained silent, quietly returned to the table, and picked up the small jade plate that the fat fox maid had brought.
He took out the dark-colored incense stick from inside, inserted it into a small incense burner on the table, and lit it by releasing a little spiritual energy from his fingertips.
A wisp of smoke rose up, swirling and spreading in the air, releasing a unique fragrance that was both serene and subtly warm.
Zhu Li smelled the fragrance, and her face flushed even more, but she still forced herself to remain calm and turned her head away from him. "Why...why are you burning incense for no reason?"
Finally, Shen Yunhao picked up the soundproof array plate, and used his fingertips to draw on it with spiritual energy like a paintbrush, sketching out a few simple runes.
As he finished writing, the array plate emitted a faint, peach-colored glow, and an invisible wave instantly enveloped the entire room.
At this moment, all external sounds were completely shut out, and the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Zhu Li finally couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Wow! Shen Yunhao, you...you actually know how to use this array plate!"
Shen Yunhao had practiced the Dao of Spirit Arrays under the tutelage of Master Lingyue in his early years. Although he was not a top-tier practitioner, he was naturally adept at these simple small arrays.
