Ruan Xiyan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
She didn't have the memories Junyu mentioned, and going home had no effect on her at this time.
The home she remembers now is the Yunli Empire.
However, she agreed with the idea of cultivating to improve one's strength, because no matter where you are, your own strength is the strongest foundation.
“Since you come from a higher level, it’s impossible for you to be as powerless as you appear. Besides, those few evil cultivators who died inexplicably last time, that was your doing, wasn’t it?” Ruan Xiyan crossed her arms and looked at him.
Jun Yu laughed and said, "Ayan found out. When did Ayan start to suspect that I have the ability?"
"I've had my doubts from the very beginning." Ruan Xiyan smiled and teased, "To be honest, your acting was pretty bad."
Junyu wasn't annoyed. "Is that so? It seems I'll have to ask Ayan for some advice in the future."
"It costs money," Ruan Xiyan said casually.
Perhaps because they had just finished a thrilling battle, the two sat down for a heart-to-heart talk, which immediately brought them much closer.
"Junyu, you are very strong, why do you pretend to be weak?" Ruan Xiyan asked curiously.
Jun Yu coughed lightly, embarrassed, and whispered, "Isn't this all to seek Ayan's protection?"
Given Ayan's vigilance, if she had known his formidable strength from the beginning, she would definitely have kept her distance from him.
Despite his feigned weakness, he was still avoided by Ayan like the plague. Fortunately, he persisted and eventually won Ayan's heart.
Although the voice was soft, Ruan Xiyan still heard it, and she looked at Jun Yu with amusement.
This is really unlike what he would say or do, especially considering he has such a domineering and captivating face.
"Of course, there is another reason: my power is too terrifying. If I use it frequently, it will disrupt the laws of this continent and cause it to fall into chaos."
"Besides, there aren't many people on this continent worth my personal attention."
Ruan Xiyan had seen him make a move before; it was indeed an extremely terrifying and unknown mysterious power.
Such arrogant words came out of his mouth as if they were perfectly natural.
"Since you say we know each other, was I as capable as you before?" Ruan Xiyan asked, blinking her eyes.
“Of course! Ayan is the best, far surpassing me,” Jun Yu affirmed.
Ruan Xiyan's lips curled into a smile. Although she didn't know if he was telling the truth, his words made her quite happy.
Suddenly her body stiffened, and the power within her surged.
Ruan Xiyan quickly calmed herself down and sat down to meditate.
She thought she had suppressed the demonic energy she had absorbed into her body, but she didn't expect that the remaining power was enough for her to break through again.
"What's wrong, Sister Yan?" Yu Qiqi noticed the commotion and came over to ask.
Jun Yu looked at Ruan Xiyan with a smile, "You're about to break through."
"Didn't Sister Yan just break through? It's only been a short time, and she's about to break through again?!" Lin Muze exclaimed, his mouth agape.
Seeing that Junyu was guarding Ruan Xiyan, they did not surround him or disturb him.
Instead, he went to the palace to collect treasures. The Yeti King had dominated the blizzard plains for many years and must have collected a lot of good things.
As they expected, they found a lot of things, inside and out, including herbs needed for the mission they had taken on.
Lin Muze couldn't stop grinning, "Haha, this really came to me without any effort!"
"Besides what you need to complete the mission, keep these and these for Xi Yan." Luo Wanyin set aside a large portion of the items for Ruan Xi Yan.
Then he looked at Yu Qiqi and Lin Muze, "We'll split the rest equally among the three of us. Qiqi, are you okay with that?"
Yu Qiqi readily replied, "Of course, no problem. Sister Yan is our main force. Without Sister Yan, we might not have been able to kill the Snow Monster King."
“I’m fine with that too,” Lin Muze said with a grin. “I can give everything I own to Sister Yan.”
"But this Yeti King really lives a life of luxury. Look at the armrests of the throne in the palace, and the pillars in the palace are all decorated with spirit stones."
"I wonder how many people they robbed. How despicable!" Lin Muze muttered, shaking his head as he pried the spirit stones off his head and stuffed them into his pocket.
Although he was not short of spirit stones, no one would complain about having too many spirit stones.
"Cough cough cough!" Yu Qiqi thought of something, glanced at Lin Muze who was engrossed in picking at spirit stones, and coughed a few times.
Lin Muze turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Is your throat uncomfortable?"
Then he lowered his head and continued to focus on the task at hand.
"Hey! You big idiot, if I hadn't saved you just now, the Yeti King would have smashed your head off. Shouldn't you at least thank me properly?" Yu Qiqi said arrogantly, hands on her hips.
She felt relieved that this could curb Lin Muze's usual arrogance.
"Who are you calling an idiot!" Lin Muze retorted. "I'm so smart, I'm not an idiot at all. But you did save me before, so I'll let it go for that reason."
"Yu Qiqi, thank you for saving me. You're a true brother! From now on, we're brothers who have been through thick and thin together." Lin Muze lightly pressed his fist against his chest.
Yu Qiqi pretended to be angry and turned her head away, coldly snorting, "Your thanks are too perfunctory, they're not sincere!"
"Lady Qiqi, I am extremely grateful for your life-saving grace. In my next life, I will definitely repay you by being your servant." Lin Muze bowed humbly and looked up at Yu Qiqi.
"Lady Qiqi, are you satisfied this time?"
Yu Qiqi's face showed a smug little expression, "It's alright, keep up the good work, Xiao Linzi."
"Alright, Lady Qiqi," Lin Muze replied cooperatively.
Ruan Xiyan refined the overflowing demonic energy, and the power fluctuations from her breakthrough emanated from her body.
His strength jumped from the second level of the Creation Realm to the fourth level in an instant.
Ruan Xiyan opened her eyes, stood up, and before she could speak...
Lin Muze's exclamation came from not far away, "Sister Yan, you broke through and even skipped a level? You're simply inhuman!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyan's lips twitched slightly.
Yu Qiqi, who had followed behind, slapped Lin Muze on the back of the head, saying, "How dare you talk to Sister Yan like that?"
"Pah! What I mean is that Sister Yan isn't human, she's a monster!" Lin Muze changed the subject.
“That’s more like it,” Yu Qiqi agreed.
This breakthrough to the fourth level of the Creation Realm was also beyond Ruan Xiyan's expectations.
It can only be said that the power of demonic energy is truly formidable.
However, this power did not conflict with the original spiritual energy in her body; on the contrary, it gave her a very safe and comfortable feeling.
Once she has refined all the demonic energy sealed with her blood-red eyes, it's unknown what level of strength she will reach.
"How did you all fare?" Ruan Xiyan asked.
