This must not continue, ever since his shameless encounters with Ning Feiyan, after ingesting the blood of an Enchanting Demon during his confusion period, he had recently become unable to endure provocation. If this entanglement continued, and they accidentally offended one of them, it would be difficult to explain today’s events. Baili An let out a deep shout, suddenly exerted strength in his back, carrying the weight of the two ladies, and sat up straight all at once. With that movement, the two dazed little ancestors were finally completely awakened. A cold wind rose in the gloomy underground palace, brushing lightly across the hem of the three people’s clothes, causing them to flutter and twist, occasionally separating. Silence, a silence as grave as death. Sometimes, what meets the moment is not only the warmth and beauty of the world. It could also be the moment you open your eyes and lift your gaze, what you see are two red-eyed rivals, intimately entangled, their clothing disheveled. Your foot arch against mine, arms tightly embracing the other’s waist, chest pressed against chest, each other’s body temperature and breath merely inches apart. This is even more infuriating than losing oneself in alcohol!!! A period of silence, a strange atmosphere slowly brewed, and after a long time, the space remained utterly quiet and deathly still. Baili An did not need to see with his eyes to feel the resistance and collapse emanating from their bodies, unwilling to face the truth. Having lived for two hundred years as favored children of the heavens, today’s experience might become an unforgettable nightmare in their hearts. Baili An stiffened, motionless, as he felt two strong intents of murder slowly rise from within them. After a lengthy time, the bodies of the three were all stiff with tension. Su Jing’s long eyelashes pressed down, concealing the dangerous glint in her eyes, and without a word, she released the hand that was clasped around Yin Baishuang’s waist. Yin Baishuang also remained silent, slowly retracting the foot that was pressed against hers, her toes curled from embarrassment and anger, turning a bright red; she stretched her legs, and her feet aimlessly scraped the white sandy ground. Regarding everything that happened today, both of them tacitly behaved as if it had never occurred, keeping silent about it. "Uh... where have we fallen to?" Baili An felt someone had to break the awkward silence. Yin Baishuang, while bending over to put on her socks, responded without lifting her head, "It appears to be the ruins of an underground palace at the bottom of the deep pool, surrounded by a Barrier that keeps the water at bay." Baili An then asked, "Are there others around?" Yin Baishuang looked around, "No, it’s just the three of us." When the water-repelling Barrier was unexpectedly breached, no one had anticipated the frigid water at the bottom of the deep pool to be so terrifying that it could freeze a cultivator’s body into ice. During that moment, many cultivators likely perished. According to Sword Energy Spirit, the fifth Dragon Slayer Sword was hidden within the ruins at the bottom of the pool. Baili An had no interest in competing for the Dragon Ball, but Lin Zheng was determined; if he survived, he would surely search for the sword first. "Are the two ladies injured?" Baili An asked worriedly. "We are not injured." This time, it was Su Jing who spoke, "In the moment of peril, fortunately, you opened the realm of the red spider lily, relieving us of most of the pressure, so none of the three of us were injured." Baili An was unaware that during that moment he had subconsciously used his Devouring ability to protect the two of them, but it was true that they were unharmed, at most affected by the yin energy in the water. The two comforted each other, and with the mutual aid under their spiritual energy, they were also no worse for wear. Since none were injured, Baili An proposed exploring the ruins of the underground palace. Su Jing and Yin Baishuang had no objections; after tidying up their clothes, they soon got up and set off again. Baili An was unable to inspect the surroundings, but he could sense the intense yin energy around him, which suddenly reminded him of Su Jing’s peculiar susceptibility; he worriedly said, "Miss Su Jing, this place has a deep presence of yin energy, if you..." "It’s nothing." Su Jing interrupted lightly, "If a mere Yin ghost could possess my body, I would have died two hundred years ago." Hearing her say this, Baili An also breathed a sigh of relief. Beside him, Miss Yin clicked her tongue, as if regretting why this guy hadn’t been possessed by a Fierce Ghost two hundred years ago, so that she could rightfully remove this nuisance. The three walked along the white sandy path of the underground palace for about three miles when suddenly, from the depths of the quiet ruins, the faint sound of cries for help came. The voices were fleeting, distant yet near, sounding like the dying moans of a person whispering indecisively in one’s ear, yet upon closer listening, it also resembled the agonizing cries of many men and women being thrown into a furnace. In such a deep part of the underground palace, it certainly wasn’t the commotion of ordinary people in distress; it was mostly the spirits of the nine abysses, lured by the scent of the living, drawing people over. The vast underground palace was unknown in width. With Baili An unsure of where to begin, he summoned Divination and said, "Shall we go look?" Having dealt routinely with demons and fierce ghosts since their youth, the two ladies were naturally unafraid of such evil matters. The three followed the sound trail, advancing deeper into the underground palace. This underwater palace was built extremely large. Astonishingly, within the ancient ruins of stones and walls, there thrived a lush forest.
