Ye Lingyue was taken aback; could Bo Qing have romantic feelings for her?

She truly hadn’t realized it; since meeting Bo Qing, Ye Lingyue had always thought of her as a woman.

Even though she later learned he was male, this notion had become deeply ingrained in her.

Before encountering Feng Xun and Wu Zhong, Ye Lingyue’s heart was as calm as still water.

Her emotional indifference was subconscious; before her rebirth, Xi Jiuye had hurt her too deeply.

Upon meeting Feng Xun and Wu Zhong later, they were both fiercely aggressive, and after going through life and death situations, they finally won the heart of the beauty.

After the two "died," Ye Lingyue’s emotions had once again calmed down, but were quickly overtaken by Di Shen’s strong presence.

To some extent, Ye Lingyue had a singular focus, and her heart could only hold so many people, so it was impossible to add Bo Qing.

Seeing his little woman appear as if struck by lightning, Di Shen’s lips curled with mischievousness, and he couldn’t help but shed a tear for rival Bo Qing, realizing his wife hadn’t noticed Bo Qing’s feelings for her?

This woman must have a thick skin to be so oblivious.

But it’s good to be oblivious; the more oblivious, the less likely she is to be led astray.

Di Shen tightened his possessive grip on the person in his hand and snorted coldly.

"Weakling, if you have the guts to confess, you should spend more effort on cultivation; those enslaved by circumstances can hardly speak of love or romance."

"You!"

A flush of anger spread across Bo Qing’s fair face.

He grabbed the Bone Prison tightly.

The Bone Prison creaked under his grip.

"Enough! Bo Qing, you should give up now. That woman’s heart does not include you at all. Only I am right for you; I won’t let off any woman who wrongs you."

Tan Su found the sight of Di Shen and Ye Lingyue’s intimacy particularly irritating.

She let out a cold laugh.

"I want to see how long you can last. Husband and wife are like birds from the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly separately. Now that you’re in the Qiulin Ruins, I, as the host, will surely entertain you."

Tan Su raised her hand and the Bone Tower beneath her feet began to stir.

The Bone Prison holding Bo Qing was swallowed underground with a swoosh.

"Tan Su, don’t you dare hurt Ling Yue; otherwise, I’ll fight to the end."

Bo Qing’s shouts of anger faded away.

Di Shen knew that the Qiulin Ruins were now Tan Su’s domain.

Here, no one could overcome Tan Su.

"Go."

Di Shen stepped forward, the male sword Nine Dragon Roar shooting straight for Tan Su’s throat.

But the ground churned, the black earth forming a cataclysmic tide, creating invincible walls of resentful energy, pressing toward Ye Lingyue and Di Shen.

"Nine Dragon Chant, break for me!"

Ye Lingyue and Di Shen shouted fiercely, the female and male Nine Dragon Chant simultaneously shielding them, their sword light shimmering as they pierced forward, slashing the furious black wave open.

With a sudden crash, the gloomy sky split apart.

Ye Lingyue and Di Shen felt a sudden brightness, Wang Ze, resentful energy, Tan Su, and Qing Bai Demon all vanished.

"Ye Lingyue, the Qiulin Ruins are my territory; you and your man will remain here forever. I’ve left you a day’s worth of food and water; I’ve given you ten days and nights. Aren’t you very much in love? I want to see how far you can go for each other."

Tan Su’s obsessive smile echoed in Ye Lingyue and Di Shen’s ears.

Ye Lingyue immediately checked her belongings.

Her storage bag was gone, Nine Dragon Chant was gone, and even Hong Meng Heaven... Ye Lingyue inspected and found all her belongings vanished as well, even Hong Meng Heaven had disappeared without a trace.

This was even worse than when she first arrived in Huangquan City.

Just like Ye Lingyue, the same happened to Di Shen.

Everything he owned evaporated without a trace.

Not only that, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen simultaneously felt that their Primordial Power had vanished.

Ye Lingyue looked down at the palm of her right hand; to her shock, the Qian Cauldron Seal on her palm had also disappeared.

Primordial Power, Cauldron Spirit, these were the least likely to be taken... could it be... Ye Lingyue and Di Shen both thought of something simultaneously.

Their expressions tightened as they recalled Tan Su’s earlier mention of a day and night’s worth of food and water.

"Let’s find a water source first."

The area they were in now was almost identical to the Qiulin Ruins during the day.

However, there were no households, but after searching, the two fell silent.

After scouring the entire ruins, they found only a single water bag and a package of dry food.

The entrance and exit of the Qiulin Ruins had disappeared as well; it seemed like a maze city.

The living water sources within the ruins had all dried up; the seemingly lush trees were all highly toxic, driving them toward a dead end.

If they still had Primordial Power, their bodies could sustain them for ten days or half a month, but now, their bodies were no different from ordinary people. Without enough food and water, how could they last ten days and nights?

These provisions, split between two people, would only last a day and a night.

And

"That woman is truly a madman."

Di Shen’s face sank.

"Not only is she a madman, she’s a genius. If I’m not mistaken, we’ve entered a virtual space of her making. Here, everything is under her control. Even we are like fish on her chopping board. And all of this is granted to her by the secret treasure within the Qiulin Ruins."

Ye Lingyue pondered.

If she’s right, the events the former Old City Lord, Yuan Xing, and even the people from Heroic Society faced are what she’s dealing with now.

"Wait!" Remembering the Old City Lord and the others, Ye Lingyue was struck by inspiration.

"What?" Di Shen had already begun calculating how to best conserve food and water.

"The Qiulin Ruins have existed for hundreds of years; Tan Su is only eighteen or nineteen years old, yet the evil reputation of the Qiulin Ruins has been passed down for centuries. This means that before Tan Su, the Qiulin Ruins were under others’ control, Tan Su is merely one of the masters."

Just like Ye Lingyue, whose predecessors of Hong Meng Heaven was Hong Meng Fang Immortal.

After Hong Meng Fang Immortal, there were other masters, but none could unlock the true potential of Hong Meng Heaven.

If the nature of the Qiulin Ruins is similar to Hong Meng Heaven, it implies Tan Su took over the Qiulin Ruins nine years ago or in one of the years within that time and gained control over everything here.

So before Tan Su, who was the master of the Qiulin Ruins?

"Tan Su’s father!"

Almost in unison, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen thought of Tan Su’s earlier words; she said she killed her father to gain control over the Qiulin Ruins.
