Lin Yi saying he wanted to taste what a Return to Void Realm expert was like was obviously just a joke; he was merely trying to comfort her, and Pei Yuhan understood this.

"Master, oh Master, don't cry…" Lin Yi kissed the corners of Pei Yuhan's eyes, kissing away the glistening teardrops one by one. Pei Yuhan's face remained as beautiful and elegant as ever.

"But…" Pei Yuhan understood what Lin Yi meant; he was simply using his cultivation to help her take that final step. "But… there is no need to be so anxious… we can take our time…"

Lin Yi kissed Pei Yuhan's lips, their breath mingling. Pei Yuhan tilted her head back, looking at Lin Yi in a daze. Lin Yi shook his head. "What use is a single Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator? Only the existence of a Return to Void Realm expert will give us more confidence."

Pei Yuhan cared about Lin Yi's cultivation, while Lin Yi cared about them.

"Alright, alright, just accept it. It is enough for me to enjoy Master's company. When the time comes, let Master protect me, okay?" Lin Yi pinched Pei Yuhan's pretty face as if coaxing a child. Pei Yuhan remained silent, but in the end, she forced a smile that looked like she was about to cry.

"It is Master who is useless… making you scheme so much and waste the cultivation you worked so hard to obtain…" Pei Yuhan said in a low, dejected voice.

Lin Yi blinked. Worked hard? He didn't. His cultivation was all gained from them, so using it on them now could be considered a full circle.

Lin Yi cupped Pei Yuhan's face with both hands. "Isn't that perfect? Since Master has taken my, Xiao Yi's, cultivation, it is equivalent to drinking my blood and eating my flesh. So, in the future… won't this beautiful body of yours belong to me entirely?"

Pei Yuhan pursed her lips, suppressing the unknown emotion in her heart that felt like both being moved and sadness. "Fine, fine, in the future, Master will belong to Xiao Yi…"

She finally stopped refusing. With tears in her eyes, she sat on Lin Yi's lap, absorbing his pure cultivation, refining it together with his essence into a part of herself.

Pei Yuhan was extremely close to the Return to Void Realm, but this one step felt like an unbridgeable chasm to her. Buddhist scriptures speak of the Sea of Suffering, and Taoist texts discuss the Free and Easy Wandering, yet Pei Yuhan could never take that step.

Previously, Pei Yuhan had been trapped in the nine Realms of the sword path, but after resolving her mental block, she reached the Transcendent state. However, cultivation was not something that could be solved by Epiphany alone.

Under the transformation of the Great Sun Scripture, Lin Yi's Physique had become increasingly similar to a pure Spirit Medicine for female Cultivators; this applied not only to his essence but also to his Qi.

Or rather… Lin Yi's current role was similar to universal experience points. For Pei Yuhan, she needed Lin Yi's cultivation to break through the barrier between herself and the Return to Void Realm.

Otherwise… how could Lin Yi, with his tiny Nascent Soul Stage, possibly help Pei Yuhan break through to the Return to Void Realm?

If they had only relied on the little bit of Qi shared during the circulation of the Heaven and Earth Hunyuan Art to help Pei Yuhan break through… who knows how many days and nights that would have taken.

Lin Yi felt the loss of Qi within his body. He gently held Pei Yuhan's arms and gazed at her tenderly, without speaking.

When Pei Yuhan pursed her lips and rested her head on his shoulder, Lin Yi turned his head to look at Lu Jiajing. "Sister Jinger, it is your turn."

Previously, neither Lu Jiajing nor Su Lingshu had interrupted what was happening between Lin Yi and Pei Yuhan, but that did not mean they had no objections to it.

Lu Jiajing shook her head gently. "No need. If you, Xiao Yi, are determined to use yourself to provide for us… I cannot possibly agree to that."

"This is my plan, Sister Jinger. You said you would help me." Lin Yi let out a soft huff. Pei Yuhan had recovered a bit of strength and consciously got up to sit to the side, her expression slightly embarrassed.

"That still won't do." Lu Jiajing shook her head firmly.

"Sister Jinger, then I will give it to Shuer. By the time I fall to a Mortal, I might only be able to send her to the Nascent Soul Stage." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"You know that Shuer cannot resist like you can." Lin Yi added.

Nearby, Su Lingshu wanted to speak, but under Lin Yi's signal, she obediently sat back in her original place.

She was just a tiny Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. When she first met Lin Yi, she could not win against him, let alone now.

"Xiao Yi, don't be like this." Lu Jiajing said helplessly.

"Then I will beg you, please~~ Sister Jinger~~" Lin Yi was a man of his word; he directly hugged Lu Jiajing's jade-like neck, sat in her lap, and pleaded with her earnestly.

Lu Jiajing closed her eyes. Inside the cave, nothing remained but the occasional crackling sound of firewood.

"Did you foresee something? Why are you in such a rush?" Lu Jiajing asked in a low voice.

Lin Yi became serious. "I have a bit of a premonition, but I am not anxious. It is mainly that… I want to play a big game."

"Anyway, if my cultivation is gone, I can cultivate it again. Above Nascent Soul is Soul Transformation, and above Soul Transformation is Return to Void. How can a tiny Nascent Soul like me fight against a Return to Void expert? It is better to help you reach the Return to Void Realm."

Lin Yi held Lu Jiajing's arms and kissed the corner of her lips. Lu Jiajing did not refuse; she only held Lin Yi tighter with her jade-like hands. "But your cultivation…"

"If it is gone, I can cultivate it again." Lin Yi said firmly. "At that time, why don't my two Return to Void wives accompany your husband in practicing that Palace Sealing Method? Your husband is a Genius, after all; I will catch up to you soon."

Lu Jiajing pursed her lips. Lin Yi's joking made the hesitation in her heart dissipate. "Fine, I suppose I am afraid of you. But…"

"But what?" Lin Yi asked, looking at Lu Jiajing's gentle and refined features.

"Let me serve you…" Lu Jiajing's beautiful eyes held infinite tenderness. She wore a green dress, and her hair was like a pond of green lotuses, elegant and tranquil.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, but then he nodded. "That would be even better."

Lu Jiajing took Lin Yi's arm and gave a slight tug. Lin Yi followed the momentum and lay down in her soft embrace. The Fairy's light, elegant fragrance filled Lin Yi's nostrils.

Lu Jiajing lowered her head and kissed Lin Yi. She bent her knees slightly, and her slender, shapely legs, wrapped in white silk stockings, pillowed Lin Yi's head.

Lin Yi waited quietly for Lu Jiajing's next move.

However… a girl in a black dress appeared abruptly beside Lu Jiajing and Lin Yi. Her deep, dark eyes looked at Lin Yi and Lu Jiajing's faces, which were inches apart, with a hint of expectation.

Lu Jiajing paused, and the two separated. Lin Yi sat up. Pei Yuhan was already standing beside the girl in the black dress, wearing a white dress, her long sword pointing diagonally, her gaze fixed on the woman who could be faintly seen behind the girl in the black dress.

Lin Yi, however, showed no surprise at being startled. He sat half-up in the Void Realm, and with a swirl of Qi, he restored his usual gentlemanly appearance.

Seeing that Lin Yi and the others had stopped their previous actions, the girl in the black dress pouted and stood up unhappily, glaring at Lin Yi.

"Are you not continuing?"

"Miss Ji." Lin Yi smiled faintly, ignoring Ji Chanxi's words. His gaze shifted from the girl in the black dress to the figure behind her. "Fairy Nan Qing."

"Hmph, if I had known, I wouldn't have come in out of curiosity." Ji Chanxi sat down beside the fire by herself, feeling a bit annoyed. Then, she looked straight at Lin Yi and held out her fair, delicate palm.

Lin Yi tilted his head, looking at Ji Chanxi with some confusion. He really couldn't deal with this person, Ji Chanxi. She was always acting crazy, making it impossible to know what was going on in her head. She had a bit of a childish nature, but sometimes she was extremely mature.

"What is the meaning of this, Miss Ji?" Lin Yi asked calmly.

"You said it, eating roast meat." Ji Chanxi said as if it were only natural. "So… where is my roast meat?"

Lin Yi smiled. "Naturally, it has all been eaten."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not as tense as they had imagined, but rather somewhat warm, Lu Jiajing and Pei Yuhan exchanged glances and each found a place to sit. Vaguely, the two formed a surrounding Formation against Ji Chanxi and Nan Qing.

They did not want to let Ji Chanxi and Nan Qing run away again. Furthermore… what if Ji Chanxi and Nan Qing wanted to make a move against Lin Yi?

Although it seemed like the two were closing their eyes to rest, their focus remained locked on Ji Chanxi and Nan Qing. If they made any suspicious moves, they would strike with thunderous force.

Nan Qing's remnant soul did not make any moves, but silently stood behind Ji Chanxi. Her gaze, like Ji Chanxi's, was entirely fixed on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi felt no tension from being scrutinized by a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator; he just continued to joke with Ji Chanxi.

"Then roast some more." Ji Chanxi sat beside the fire, hugging her legs, looking at Lin Yi expectantly.

Lin Yi looked at Ji Chanxi's exquisite, dreamlike, fair little face. He casually used his Qi to take a large piece of meat from the Yao Beast that had been thrown into the snow. As the Qi divided the meat that floated in, the pieces automatically floated and turned over the fire.

Ji Chanxi gently twitched her delicate, small nose. She looked at the meat over the campfire with anticipation, looking exactly like a gluttonous little girl waiting for dinner.

Before long, the meat was cooked through. Lin Yi took out some powder ground from an unknown Spirit Medicine used to enhance flavor and remove gaminess.

"Please," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Ji Chanxi looked at the campfire, then at the three people sitting not far away: Lu Jiajing, Pei Yuhan, and Su Lingshu.

She pouted her glossy, alluring lips. "I don't want that. Why don't you feed me? Just like the others…"

Lin Yi's gaze met Ji Chanxi's. After confirming she wasn't joking, he nodded slightly.

Seeing Lin Yi nod, Ji Chanxi's eyes curved slightly, revealing a happy arc. She opened her mouth and shifted her bottom slightly, sitting a little closer to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi picked up a piece of beast meat, dipped it in the Spirit Medicine powder, and held it to Ji Chanxi's lips. Ji Chanxi opened her mouth and bit down. Lin Yi's fingertips felt slightly damp; Ji Chanxi's lips were soft and tender.

Ji Chanxi looked at Lin Yi. Her ink-black eyes turned slightly, and she stretched out her jade-like neck to bite Lin Yi's finger.

Lin Yi looked at Ji Chanxi, who was smiling at him, with some surprise. After a long while, Ji Chanxi finally let go of Lin Yi's finger. She licked her lips, adding a layer of oil to them, which made them look even more alluring.

"Miss Ji…" Lin Yi was about to speak when he was interrupted huffily by Ji Chanxi.

"Don't call me Miss Ji. You know my name, don't you? I'm Ji Chanxi. You can call me Chan'er or Xier!" Ji Chanxi emphasized.

Lin Yi exchanged glances with Su Lingshu and the others. After making eye contact, Lin Yi did not affectionately call her by name as Ji Chanxi had wished.

"Miss Ji, it seems… this is our first meeting, right? Why are you so familiar with me?" Lin Yi asked with a chuckle.

Facing Lin Yi's calm gaze, Ji Chanxi gave a soft huff. "It's not the first time!"

"Oh?" Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He certainly didn't remember ever meeting Ji Chanxi anywhere before.

"Last time in that place in Xialiang Kingdom, I was standing on the side of the street and saw you. Didn't you see me too?" Ji Chanxi tilted her head innocently and blinked her big eyes at Lin Yi.

Ji Chanxi smoothed her skirt. The black hem looked like the black tide at the turn of spring and summer beneath Fentian Peak, the second peak of Qiongming Domain. The warm firelight shone on her fair little face, and her black pupils reflected two tiny flames.

"That is indeed true. This is my second meeting with Miss Ji." Lin Yi readily accepted Ji Chanxi's explanation.

"Right!" Ji Chanxi beamed, appearing very happy with Lin Yi's agreement.

"But that's still only the second meeting. Why is Miss Ji being so affectionate toward me?" Lin Yi asked again with a smile.

Ji Chanxi was a madwoman. Although she looked like a quiet, beautiful young girl, she spent every day reading her Book of Strange Tales. Despite her innocent and naive appearance, she actually cultivated the Ghost Path.

She spent every day accompanied by ghosts. In the original story, she often did a series of things that were incomprehensible to normal people, including but not limited to betting the Eight-Phase Mirror, a treasure of the Yin Yang Pavilion given to her by her father, on a gambling table, and running to Fentian Peak every day to watch the mountains and seas…

In short… Lin Yi couldn't quite understand what Ji Chanxi was thinking.

"Hmm… is that not allowed?" Ji Chanxi tilted her head and asked hesitantly, looking a little disappointed.

"No, it's not that it's not allowed." Lin Yi shook his head. "It's just… you have to tell me what you need from me, right?"

Ji Chanxi blinked her beautiful big eyes. "There's nothing. I was just hungry… Hehehe…"

As she spoke, she showed a shy smile, looking quite embarrassed, and then she looked at the pieces of beast meat wrapped in spiritual power above the campfire. "Brother Lin Yi, I want to eat more!!"

Lin Yi's body shivered subconsciously. Ji Chanxi's "Brother Lin Yi" really made him feel uncomfortable. He knew she wasn't as innocent as she appeared; it always gave him the feeling of an eighty-year-old crone pretending to be a maiden.

"Don't call me Brother Lin Yi, just call me Lin Yi." Lin Yi picked up a piece of beast meat, dipped it in seasoning, and fed it to Ji Chanxi. Ji Chanxi ate it happily. With one feeding and the other eating, it wasn't long before Ji Chanxi shook her head.

Seeing that Ji Chanxi was full, Lin Yi used his spiritual power to wipe the grease from his hands. Ji Chanxi rested her chin on her small hands, her pair of clear, deep eyes staring fixedly at Lin Yi.

"By the way, does Fairy Nan Qing want any?" Lin Yi turned his head to look at the female figure standing behind Ji Chanxi.

The woman shook her head slightly.

Lin Yi nodded indifferently and turned his gaze to Ji Chanxi. "Alright, Miss Ji, now that you're full, let's talk about business."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Su Lingshu and the others perked up, and Pei Yuhan and Lu Jiajing's Divine Sense sharpened.

"Business? Hmm… Xier doesn't know… Xier wants to sleep…" Ji Chanxi rubbed her eyes, looking quite sleepy.

Lin Yi curled his lip. You cultivate the Ghost Path, what do you need sleep for? As the saying goes, having trained your form to resemble a ghost's shadow, you are the Empress of the Nether Path.

"Miss Ji, I genuinely want to help you and Fairy Nan Qing." Lin Yi ignored Ji Chanxi's words. He took out the five yin-yang orders he already possessed from his Storage Ring, lined them up, and spun them in his palm with the manipulation of his spiritual power.

Watching this scene, the innocence in Ji Chanxi's eyes dissipated slightly, revealing a hint of her true self.

"Miss Ji, I won't hide it from you any longer. The reason I was in Xialiang Kingdom a few days ago was precisely for Fairy Nan Qing. I intend to…" Lin Yi paused and looked at Lu Jiajing and Pei Yuhan. Both nodded at Lin Yi, signaling that they had set up a Formation to prevent eavesdropping.

Lin Yi didn't quite trust this. He beckoned to Su Lingshu. Su Lingshu walked over, looking confused. Amidst her extremely shy gaze, Lin Yi pulled her close… and kissed her…

Alright, the System didn't give any prompts indicating NTR, so that meant no one was peeking.

Lin Yi helped Su Lingshu fix herself up. Under Lin Yi's signal, Su Lingshu walked back with stiff steps; the roots of her ears had already turned bright red!

Ji Chanxi watched this scene unfold before her eyes, dumbfounded, and even the remnant soul of Nan Qing looked at Lin Yi with a strange gaze.

Lin Yi acted as if nothing had happened and continued, "…I intend to resist the Floating Island and its manager, the Head of the God King Palace, Yin Yang. Therefore… I need the help of Shizhou City, Fairy Nan Qing."

The remnant soul of Nan Qing's eyes flickered slightly. Because she was only a phantom, no one could tell what expression was on her face.

"Does Shizhou City know… that the daughter of the Dragon King from thirty thousand years ago, Liuli, who the Floating Island has needed to guard for generations, has already been released by the current Head of the God King Palace?" Lin Yi's calm voice caused the remnant soul of Nan Qing's figure to fluctuate slightly.

"Do you… have any… evidence?" Nan Qing's intermittent voice came through.

"Yin Yang is laying out a plan for the world, wishing to imitate the ancients with the world's Dao lineages and Mortal incense to break through the limits of the Dao Convergence. But before that, he needs even more to liberate the Floating Island from its thirty-thousand-year imprisonment."

"Those who are on the Floating Island have their Luck, life, and cultivation inextricably linked to the Floating Island. If Yin Yang were to descend to the Mortal Realm now, his twelfth-layer Return to Void Realm strength would immediately plummet due to the backlash. This is something he cannot tolerate!"

"If he wants to become the supreme holy monarch of this Qiongming Domain, then he must first release Liuli."

"As for how to kill Liuli… First, he wants to use Liuli's hand to unify the Northern Domain and coerce the Xuanyuan Dynasty, forcing the Xuanyuan Dynasty to beg him to issue an Immortal Ping Order, so that from then on, the Dao lineage and incense will be entirely under his control."

"Second, use the three famous swords—Yuanran, Gudai, and The Rule—to open the North Mansion of the God Palace located in the South Sea. Inside the North Mansion, everyone's cultivation will be suppressed to the same Realm. Under a siege, Liuli will surely be executed."

"At the very least… he still has a backup plan: the God King Palace will issue the god king order, relying on one of the two great orders of the Floating Island to suppress Liuli."

Lin Yi spoke eloquently. These things he hadn't mentioned earlier shocked Pei Yuhan and the others, and even Ji Chanxi, who was pretending to be heartless, looked at Lin Yi in a daze.

"Then… where is Liuli… herself?" The remnant soul of Nan Qing became slightly clearer, and her speech was no longer as halting as before.

"She has abandoned the name Liuli. She is now called Shao Shenyun. There were once four great Demon Kings in the Northern Domain, and now a fifth Demon King has appeared, stirring up the winds and clouds of the Northern Domain."
