Ye Lingyue realized this and her brows suddenly relaxed.

She uncharacteristically didn’t push Di Shen away, but instead took the initiative, making Di Shen even more brazen.

This move truly surprised and delighted Di Shen, he was overjoyed inside.

It’s rare that his wife actually made the first move.

His wife seemed carefree outwardly but was actually very reserved about their relationship.

When they were alone, she strictly forbade any physical actions, and in front of others, she repeatedly stated no overstepping behaviors were allowed.

Di Shen lived for over twenty years in this life and the previous, living more like a "monk" than a "monk," never having the chance for the slightest flirtation, which would be a laughing stock among the demon clan.

Would he still be a man if he didn’t seize the chance with his wife?

Di Shen said nothing and even forgot they were in danger.

Ye Lingyue felt something was wrong too, with Di Shen, and his hand, how it kept moving, damn it, was he trying to put on a show at this very moment?

"Ye Lingyue, you’re such a shameless bitch. Besides Bo Qing, how many men have you seduced!"

Just as Ye Lingyue felt stuck between a rock and a hard place, a voice full of resentment descended from the sky.

Upon hearing that voice, Ye Lingyue’s eyes darkened.

It’s out now!

But why did this voice sound so familiar?

"Tan Su, it’s you!"

Di Shen reluctantly let go of Ye Lingyue, secretly cursing whoever was interrupting his pleasure.

From the tumultuous ground emerged a person.

Underneath her were layers upon layers, piled with various withered bones.

The number of those bones was at least in the hundreds of thousands, forming a Withered Bone Tower.

Standing atop that bone-constructed tower was Tan Su, who was injured earlier. She wore a fiery red blood outfit, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred.

"Where are Bo Qing and the City Lord, your injuries earlier were a disguise. You’ve been causing all the trouble in the Qiulin Ruins these years? No, the existence of the ruins predates your age."

Ye Lingyue was taken aback at seeing Tan Su, glancing around her, noticing no trace of their partners and unsure if they were alive or dead.

But Tan Su was deeply infatuated with Bo Qing and probably wouldn’t kill him.

So Ye Lingyue feigned asking about Bo Qing just to provoke Tan Su.

Ye Lingyue’s questioning indeed angered Tan Su, simultaneously provoking a certain jealous man.

"Wife~"

Di Shen blew softly against the back of her neck, causing Ye Lingyue to break out in goosebumps.

Ye Lingyue shot him a stern look, warning him he had reached the limit; any further misconduct and there’d be consequences later.

Their silent yet meaningful "exchange" further infuriated the already jealous Tan Su.

"You dare mention Bo Qing, you shameless bitch, already married yet still seducing Bo Qing. He must be blind to take notice of you, and I want him to see your disgraceful face firsthand."

Tan Su raised her hand, the previously undulating ground splitting open with a crack.

A Bone Prison, constructed of innumerable human bones and at least the height of a person, rose into the air.

Inside was Bo Qing.

Bo Qing looked weary, but without any wounds.

Not only Bo Qing, but Qin Xiaochuan and others who were earlier with Bo Qing in the same dwelling were temporarily unharmed, though trapped by Tan Su’s arrangement.

It turned out Tan Su, deeply in love with Bo Qing, tricked the Jiu Provinces Alliance into entering the Qiulin Ruins before unleashing a massacre.

Only against Bo Qing, she couldn’t bring herself to harm.

Bo Qing threatened Tan Su, saying if she killed his partners, he’d rather die than be with her.

Helplessly, Tan Su spared their lives, inadvertently creating a perfect opportunity for Ye Lingyue to rescue them.

"Ling Yue, as long as you’re safe!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Bo Qing initially faced Tan Su indifferently, but upon seeing Ye Lingyue, he felt relieved and immediately smiled.

Yet his smile froze upon noticing Di Shen behind Ye Lingyue.

This man in front of him looked as handsome as himself.

And the icy aura around him felt startlingly familiar.

Bo Qing almost immediately matched Di Shen to the man from the earlier Phoenix Token incident.

Most infuriating to Bo Qing was, what’s up with Di Shen’s hands?

Who allowed him to embrace Ling Yue’s waist, damn it, he also wanted to hug Ling Yue’s waist!

"Ashamed is what you are, can’t even handle a woman, almost jeopardizing my wife."

Di Shen also noticed Bo Qing, what’s with this man?

Not only did he have a face prettier than a woman’s, but he arrived like a ticking time bomb, glaring at him.

Daring to call him weak?

Bo Qing was furious, but powerless to retort back.

Him being captured by Tan Su was entirely due to a lapse in judgment.

He never expected Tan Su to be the mastermind behind the Qiulin Ruins, herself to be an Alchemist.

This fact was unknown to Bo Qing and even the older members of the Heroic Society.

She feigned severe injury earlier to lower everyone’s guard, and once Ye Lingyue left, Tan Su secretly poisoned the water of the group.

Bo Qing and the others drinking the water, thus having their Primordial Power sealed.

Only then did Tan Su reveal her true identity.

"So the demon the old president spoke of is here, and it’s you, Tan Su!"

Ye Lingyue never fully trusted Tan Su, but due to her age and cultivation level, Ye Lingyue couldn’t suspect her right away.

Earlier Ye Lingyue had doubts about the old president’s death, but with no leads, remained clueless.

"Indeed, it was I who killed the old president; he didn’t bully me. He found out about my secret and intended to investigate the past, so I framed and murdered him. Not just the old president, even my own father was killed by me. Each of you thinks I’m a murderer, an ungrateful, worse-than-a-dog wretch, right?"

Tan Su laughed eerily.

She brushed her fiery red hair, laughing tearfully as she scanned each figure beside her, finally resting her gaze upon Bo Qing.

"Let me share a story with you that traces back years ago, a tale that overturned my life and the Heroic Society."
