“Childe … are you asleep?” Yan Ruyu’s voice came from outside the door. Xiao Chen frowned and said, “Not yet. Is there anything you need?”

“You’re really, really fast. Have you forgotten?”

Yan Ruyu walked in. The candle flames in the hall shook, reflecting her charming figure. It was as if the coldness in the hall had subsided a little.

“What are you doing?” Seeing her charming appearance, Xiao Chen frowned and asked.

“Didn’t Childe ask this knowingly?”

Yan Ruyu lowered his head and smiled. He covered his lips and whispered, “During the day, Childe said that I will be yours from today onwards. Shouldn’t I come to bed now?”

“You may have misunderstood what I meant.”

Xiao Chen walked over to her and said, “What I said is, from now on, everything in the Serene Void Sky will be mine. Since it is all mine, then naturally it will include you as well …”

“Aiya, I got it. I got it. Then let’s hurry up …”

“Hurry up? Hurry up what?”

“Strange, it’s getting dark. Aren’t you sleeping?”

“Sleep? Of course.”

Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently, “It’s just that men and women are in the same room. It’s inevitable that there will be some inconvenience in the night. Palace Master, please.” After saying that, he placed an invitation outside the door.

“Ah, no …”

Yan Ruyu stared blankly at him and said, “I’m here …”

“I know, Palace Master, please.”

Xiao Chen asked again.

“Hey, you, you … why are you so confused?”

Yan Ruyu looked at him strangely. She frowned slightly and straightened her chest again, “Nah, am I not beautiful enough? Do you think I’m beautiful?”

“Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty. Sevilness is already … Palace Master, please.”

“What is this evil already? What is this mess? You are the only one who is evil already …”

Yan Ruyu stomped her foot angrily and walked out of the hall. When her footsteps gradually faded away, Xiao Chen said, “Oh right, there’s something else I forgot to tell you.”

“What is it? You’ve figured it out, are you still letting me come back?”

Yan Ruyu turned around and saw Xiao Chen’s shadow on the paper window under the faint candlelight in the palace. She thought to herself that even his shadow was so cold …

After a while, a voice came from inside, “On Penglai Island, your senior brother died at my hands.”

The entire corridor of the palace became very quiet. Only the sound of insects could be heard intermittently in the bushes. After a long time, Yan Ruyu said, “So what?”

Her voice was obviously much deeper. Xiao Chen said, “If you want to avenge him, you can.”

“Heh …”

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu smiled and said, “What does it have to do with me if Yan Wen dies? Why should I take revenge for him? He threw this mess to me, but he went to find some kind of long life medicine. Did he really think that I didn’t know what he was thinking? Haha …”

“It’s already late. Palace Master, please return. Send someone to deliver the map tomorrow.”

Xiao Chen’s voice came from inside the hall once again. This time, Yan Ruyu did not stay any longer. She turned around and walked back and forth.

…

The next morning, Xiao Chen had just come out of the palace and was about to visit Xian’er when he saw Yan Ruyu coming from across the corridor, dressed more beautifully than last night.

“You’re so early?”

“Naturally … cough cough.”

“Cough cough … cough cough!”

“Cough cough cough!”

Yan Ruyu walked over, but along the way, she kept coughing. Xiao Chen looked at her, “You caught a cold last night, and your throat was uncomfortable?”

“You” Yan Ruyu bit her lips and looked at him, wondering if this person’s head was made of elm wood?

Xiao Chen took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to her. He said, “I brought this medicine from the mortal world. It is made from Chuanbei Loquat and other ancient techniques. It has a miraculous effect on moistening the throat …”

“You …”

This time, Yan Ruyu was completely stunned.

“There’s no need to thank me.”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He placed the jade bottle in her hand and went out of the corridor. He didn’t come back until afternoon and discovered that she hadn’t left yet.

“Have you recovered your voice?”

“Alright, alright … Thank you, Excellency, for your concern.” Yan Ruyu’s expression was dumbfounded. He thought to himself … did he, did he not like women?

“Why are you looking at me like this?”

“Ah, no, no …”

Only then did Yan Ruyu regain his senses. He immediately took out a scroll from his sleeve and said, “This is the map of the entire Heaven of Nether Void, the Ten Thousand Foot Immortal Domain.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen took the map from her hand and opened it. The scenery on the map was clear and detailed.

It turned out that there were four biggest forces outside the Netherworld. These four forces checked and balanced each other, and there were many small forces in the surroundings that were subordinate to them.

It was only now that Xiao Chen finished reading the detailed map that he realized that the entire Secluded Void Sky was only a star within the Myriad Miles Immortal Domain.

“Tai Yi, Tian Sha, Wu Xiang, Peach Blossom.”

At this moment, Yan Ruyu said the names of the four forces. “Tai Yi’s Patriarch Xingluo is the most ambitious. He has always secretly wanted to break through the Serene Void Sky and devour the other three clans before becoming the sole owner of the Myriad Miles Immortal Domain. However, he has always been checked and balanced by the other three clans … As for the Heavenly Fiend King, his ambition is also not small. He has always coveted the Serene Void Sky.”

At this moment, Yan Ruyu briefly explained the situation of the four forces. Xiao Chen looked at the map and remained silent. He naturally could tell that if it weren’t for the fact that there were a few formidable ancient formations in You Xutian, the four forces would have already attacked in the past few hundred years.

And with such a huge change happening in Nether Void Palace this time, it is hard to guarantee that the four forces will not be stirred up. Right now, the entire Heaven of Nether Void is in chaos. He wants to settle the world, and he wants to truly not move An Rushan …

Apart from expelling all the foreign forces, what was more important was that he had to make these four forces submit so that they would not dare to rebel. Otherwise, once he left, Heaven of Nether Void would definitely become even more lively and chaotic.

As the saying goes, mountains and rivers are easy to fight but difficult to defend. Once You Xutian is defeated again, the strong enemies will occupy the advantage of the time and place. It is almost impossible for him to seize it back.

At that time, he would be hunted down endlessly. After all, there was a saying that if Patriarch Xingluo, who was too easy, took down the Secluded Void Sky, would not die, would the other party be able to sleep peacefully?

At this moment, seeing that he was thoughtful and silent, Yan Ruyu snorted and said, “Then, now that you know how powerful these four forces are, do you still want to fight?”

After listening to her, Xiao Chen slowly put away the map and slowly said, “If we don’t take down these four forces, if I leave in the future, then should this Nether Void Palace change its owner again?”

At this point, he stopped and looked at Yan Ruyu motionlessly, “Palace Master, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu stopped talking. This sentence hit the nail on the head. Once he left, if Patriarch Xingluo and the others attacked, would she have to resist them at that time? Today, she submitted to Xiao Chen, and in the future, she could submit to Patriarch Xingluo as well.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing.”

Xiao Chen put away the map and looked at Yan Ruyu motionlessly. Only then did Yan Ruyu regain her senses. She was stunned for a moment and asked, “What is it?”

Xiao Chen looked outside the corridor pavilion and said, “This Ancient Immortal Realm was originally a fragment of the Immortal Dimension, so I’m looking for an Innate Spirit Treasure that contains primordial spirits. Palace Master can keep an eye on it for me.”

“Xiantian spirit treasure?”

Yan Ruyu frowned. Although this Ancient Immortal Realm was a fragment of the Immortal Dimension in the past, was this Innate Spirit Treasure something he could ask for as he pleaded? Last time, the rain and dew of the Immortal Realm condensed in the Penglai Realm took 10,000 years to condense …

Xiao Chen said, “During this period of time, you can flip through ancient books. If you have any clues, you can tell me.”
