"You can meet me, but you must assist my sister in ascending to the position of Alliance Hierarch of the Blackwater Alliance."

The exceedingly pleasant voice of Pei Junhong echoed from within the Red Dust Residence.

Upon hearing this, Wuyou Zi was overjoyed.

"You must not go back on your word."

After speaking, he flew swiftly towards Tianyong Mountain.

Ready to help Qin Qi excavate the Dragon Vein.

At this moment, he was exceptionally exhilarated, even beginning to hum a tune.

An image of a love-crazed fool.

Pei Junhong stood within the Red Dust Residence, her expression extremely indifferent.

In her mind, Wuyou Zi held no status whatsoever; how could someone like him deserve to meet her?

Arrogance appeared on her cheeks.

At this moment, she recalled being treated so coldly by Wang Ye the previous day, and suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.

"Why would I feel heartache over a man?"

Pei Junhong’s intelligent eyes shifted.

Only then did she remember that her Red Dust Line with Wang Ye had not been severed.

So, she sat at the table and took out the Red Dust Book.

Flipping through the pages, many stories involving men and her were written there.

But the resolution of these stories was all orchestrated by him.

Most of the endings were missed connections, while people like Wuyou Zi didn’t even deserve to appear in the Red Dust Book.

She picked up the pen and opened to the page about Wang Ye, frowning.

No wonder her emotions with Wang Ye failed; someone had altered their romantic storyline.

Her expression instantly became alert.

"Who exactly appeared in the Red Dust Residence and changed my Red Dust Line with Wang Ye?"

Coldness had already surfaced in her eyes.

Her heart was raging with fury.

It took a long time for her to calm down and continue writing about her Red Dust Line with Wang Ye.

She had suffered a loss last time but would not be willing to let it go like that.

She must reclaim the scene.

As the pen tip descended, graceful writing appeared on the yellowed paper.

A very dramatic scene emerged on the Red Dust Book.

After finishing the story, she closed the Red Dust Book, absorbing the lessons from the previous encounter.

She placed the Red Dust Book on herself.

The Red Dust Line and Red Dust Book were indeed her two major artifacts, and thanks to them, she had managed to reach the realm of a Demigod within just a few thousand years.

"Wang Ye, you just wait."

She gritted her teeth.

In the Blackwater Secret Realm, besides Wang Ye, there were other handsome, young, and promising men.

In her crafted story, Wang Ye would turn into a sycophant, while a man named Xiao Wenhai would become the protagonist.

After she’s completed everything, she checked herself in the mirror.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes; there had unexpectedly appeared a few strands of white hair among her long locks.

"Changing the Red Dust Book damages one’s lifespan, and retribution arrives so quickly."

In the past, she had also changed the Red Dust Book; otherwise, how would there be so many stories of missed connections?

But modifying the Red Dust Book barely affected her otherwise.

Only this change involving Wang Ye greatly impacted her life force.

"That Wang Ye unexpectedly bears the protection of the Heavenly Dao, it’s unimaginable."

After long contemplation, she realized the cause of her hair whitening.

People protected by the Heavenly Dao possess fortune, and once their Red Dust Line is altered, it results in significant consequences.

"Am I going against the Heavenly Dao?"

A sense of danger flickered through Pei Junhong’s mind, as if she was heading towards an abyss.

Although Qin Qi was her sister, ultimately she couldn’t outweigh her own destiny.

If she could revert Wang Ye’s Red Dust storyline, perhaps she could earn the Heavenly Dao’s forgiveness.

She couldn’t continue making mistakes.

Thus, she once again took out the Red Dust Book from her bosom to alter the very dramatic story.

In this romantic tale, Wang Ye’s affections flowed smoothly, whereas Pei Hongjun could only look up to and admire Wang Ye.

After altering the story.

Strands of connection began to unfurl from within the Red Dust Residence.

She revisited the mirror.

She discovered that the few strands of white hair had vanished.

This Wang Ye indeed cannot be trifled with.

"This time, I’ve truly lost both myself and my longevity."

...

Meanwhile, Qin Qi and others had quietly approached the location of the Dragon Vein in Tianyong Mountain.

The vegetation here was lush.

Even the soil exuded fragrance.

Following Qin Qi’s command.

A blonde man drew his longsword and struck towards the Dragon Vein.

Boom~

With a strike, the sword clashed fiercely with the stone in the ground, sparks flickering.

A buzzing sound soon echoed in the air.

"What sound is this?"

Qin Qi’s ears immediately perked up.

The sky was dark; despite it being dusk, rain was falling today, and mist hung in the distance.

Even with their high cultivation, they could only see roughly ten meters.

Suddenly, streaks of green light appeared in the white mist afar.

The white mist gradually turned into an oppressive black mass.

Countless Diamond Bees flew in from all directions.

"Damn, those are Diamond Bees, run!"

The presence of Divine Beasts protecting the Dragon Vein is certain.

When they acted, they alerted the Diamond Bees in the hive.

Diamond Bees are tiny, about the size of hair strands, but extremely strong in combat.

Even if one’s cultivation reached the Heavenly Saint Boundary, full concentration in battle is necessary to escape harm.

Upon hearing it was Diamond Bees, those who came to excavate the Dragon Vein ran away.

"Xuan Guang Cover."

Qin Qi’s power had already reached the Heavenly God Realm, making it easy to kill the Diamond Bees.

However, unfortunately, within the hazy fog, visibility became very poor, making it difficult to perceive the source of the Diamond Bees’ attacks.

So, she could only simulate.

The light array burst forth, protecting herself.

Instantly, those she brought along had already fled.

Only Qin Qi stood calmly in the position of the Dragon Vein.

The Xuan Guang Cover required Spiritual Energy to maintain, and continuing this would eventually deplete her Spiritual Energy.

Reluctantly, Qin Qi glanced at the Dragon Vein’s location, preparing to leave.

The Diamond Bees attacked the Xuan Guang Cover but were directly bounced back.

Some less capable Diamond Bees fainted from the impact.

Instantly, she nimbly under the Xuan Guang Cover flew out of the Diamond Bees’ encirclement.

She was about to exhale in relief.

Yet she saw someone approaching her.

The sky was already dim, the road slippery, plus the person wore a black wide-brimmed hat, obscuring their face, leaving her clueless about the other’s identity.

"Qin Qi, I’m here to help you."

The person removed the black wide-brimmed hat.

In the next moment, Qin Qi saw a familiar face; wasn’t that person Wuyou Zi?

"Wuyou Zi Senior, you’re here too, that’s wonderful."

Qin Qi was overjoyed.

But at this moment, Wuyou Zi was worried, having performed a reading before coming to Tianyong Mountain.

The divination indicated an impending encirclement. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Let’s go to the Dragon Vein’s location."

Despite knowing the risk of being cornered, Wuyou Zi still ventured daringly.

After all, Pei Junhong had agreed with him.

This was the only chance to meet Pei Junhong again, a chance he didn’t want to miss.

"Alright!"

Qin Qi hurriedly led the way in front; yet the fog grew thicker.

The mist enveloped them like tidal waves, mysterious and overwhelming.

Soon, the eerie fog led both astray.

Wuyou Zi drew out the Bagua Plate from his bosom.

But the pointer on the Bagua Plate spun uncontrollably.

"What’s going on?"
