Outside the tree hole, chaos ensued, with numerous demon beast footprints.

Evidently, while the two were out, demon beasts had attacked the tree hole.

Inside the tree hole, the wild fruits and beast blood stored by the two a few days ago were completely destroyed.

The feeling of being completely in someone’s grasp, gnawing at the willpower of the two like ants.

"That woman, she’s just too much. This time out, I swear I’ll skin and dismantle that perverted woman."

Di Shen, eyes red with anger, punched the tree beside him.

A tree as thick as a bowl cracked and broke in response.

But as the tree broke, within a few breaths, it quickly grew back, restored as before.

"Hehe, you shouldn’t struggle anymore. Everything here moves with my spiritual power. The trees and demon beast blood here already contain deadly toxins, you can’t consume them anymore. Taking your lives would be as simple as squashing two little ants. Don’t blame me for not giving you the final chance: if one of you kills the other first, I’ll let the survivor leave. This is your last hope, never before has anyone enjoyed such favor after offending me."

Tan Su’s voice was like sugar-coated poison, sounding sweet but with deadly venom.

"Perverted woman, is it so unbearable for you to see people in love? The more you want me and my wife to kill each other, the more we’ll defy you. We’ll definitely get out within five days, live lovingly, have a bunch of kids, grow old together, envy and jealousy will consume you."

Di Shen sneered.

Ye Lingyue just stared at the tree that regrew, saying nothing, her thoughts unclear.

"Good, very good. Opportunity, after all, is being abandoned by you. You two, just wait to die in the Qiulin Ruins."

Tan Su, angry and ashamed, her voice dissipated.

"Stupid Di Shen, at such a time, you still dream unrealistically about having lots of children with me. Speak of serious matters, have you found anything in the Qiulin Ruins these days?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ye Lingyue was amused and exasperated.

Di Shen, bloodthirsty like Wu Zhong, gentle like Feng Xun, yet sometimes seeming like an immature child, just stubbornly entangling.

"Wife, you’re referring to how the trees and demon beasts in the Qiulin Ruins are controlled by the perverted woman, aren’t you? I also noticed she seems to control everything here. We are like turtles in a jar, at her mercy."

Although reluctant, this was indeed the truth.

"No, she can’t control us at will. On the contrary, only us, she can’t sway. Otherwise, given her hatred towards me, she’d kill me directly instead of using convoluted methods."

Ye Lingyue only just realized.

The Qiulin Ruins is like a replica of the Hong Meng Heaven, just inferior in size and resources.

Since both are virtual spaces, they must share commonalities.

"Wife. What do you mean?" Di Shen was confused.

"In the Qiulin Ruins, everything moved from the outside, including people, can only be moved in or out but cannot be disposed of. Unless mutual killing occurs, Tan Su as the heir cannot harm us. Additionally, at the initial formation of the Qiulin Ruins, a specific area must exist, which remains unchanged regardless of Tan Su’s spiritual power modifications."

Ye Lingyue said confidently.

This conclusion, drawn from her understanding of the Hong Meng Heaven.

Initially, when Ye Lingyue obtained the Hong Meng Heaven, it was shrouded in white mist, with only a small area of land. After it and Little Zhiyo recognized her as the owner, Hong Meng Heaven expanded to two thatched houses and one acre in size.

That specific area is the Original Space.

Subsequently, Ye Lingyue acquired the Five Elements Spirit, and the space continually upgraded.

But the original space of one acre and two thatched houses remained unchanged.

When the Three-legged Birdman relocated to Hong Meng Heaven, Batu and others proposed altering the two thatched houses.

Later, it was proven they couldn’t dismantle the two thatched houses; even Ye Lingyue attempted to use spiritual power to modify them, still to no avail.

Later, the Cauldron Spirit informed Ye Lingyue, that space is the origin of Hong Meng Heaven’s spiritual power, and can’t be altered.

"Wife, you mean there’s a similar area in Qiulin Ruins?"

Di Shen was bewildered; having no space himself, though seeing Ye Lingyue’s certainty, he began to be partially convinced.

"There must be, but the specifics are hard to say. So, we need to devise a way to find that original area in the shortest time, as it might be the true location of the Qiulin Ruins’ secret treasure."

Understanding this point, Ye Lingyue’s days of decay and dejection vanished.

As a fellow space owner, Ye Lingyue firmly believed she understood better than Tan Su how to wield the power of space.

Because, to Tan Su, the Qiulin Ruins was merely a slaughterhouse. To Ye Lingyue, Hong Meng Heaven represented hope, altering her destiny and that of the Ye Family People, and the fate of the Three-legged Birdman.

She would never allow the Virtual Space, such as Cave Heaven, to fall into the hands of a murderous demoness like Tan Su.

"Find the original area in the shortest time..." Di Shen pondered, then smiled brightly, "Wife, I think I already have a solution."

Ye Lingyue smiled as well.

"I think I have it too, and that is..."

They spoke in unison.

"Fire attack!"

In the Qiulin Ruins, lacking food and water, it was undoubtedly the perfect place for a fire attack.

The two effortlessly found some flint for lighting fires.

The refusal by Ye Lingyue and Di Shen nearly drove Tan Su to madness.

She vented her anger on everyone.

"Crazy woman, if you dare then let us go. Let’s have a fair battle."

Qin Xiaochuan rolled his eyes in frustration.

"Haha, you all are wishing to die, aren’t you? Rest assured, once Ye Lingyue and the others are dead, I’ll send each of you on your way. I need you all to expand space for my Qiulin Ruins." Tan Su remained unfazed by their curses.

Unlike Ye Lingyue’s Hong Meng Heaven, Tan Su’s Qiulin Ruins upgraded through killing; the more deaths, the more expansive Qiulin Ruins become.

"Ye Lingyue, this time you’ve chosen your own demise. In five days, wait for me to collect your corpses."

Tan Su gritted her teeth.
