"Are you sure she can rule the world without entangling with Ben Jun?" Li Shang questioned.
"Are you saying I can't do without you?" A familiar female voice echoed as a graceful figure in a Black Dress appeared in the living room.
"Yun Shijiu!" she exclaimed, rushing over for a bear hug. "Sister!"
"You're all grown up, why are you hugging me? Go hug your wife instead." Pushing Yun Shijiu away, Yun Zhi Yue sat down across from Li Shang.
"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
Li Shang's eyes flickered slightly. "You heard wrong. I meant I can't do without you."
"Pfft! Hahaha, oh my goodness." Yun Shijiu was nearly laughing to tears, while the other Emperors looked at Li Shang with strange expressions.
This person always appeared composed, with a cold demeanor that made him seem hard to approach, but now they were seeing a different side of him.
Yun Zhi Yue wanted to laugh too but held it back. She glanced towards the door and said, "Come in, what are you afraid of?"
A six-year-old child with red hair entered, trying to avoid Li Shang's gaze. He plopped down next to Yun Zhi Yue.
"Hmph," Yun Zhi Yue said. "I'll show you who is stronger."
Su Shou tapped the table and addressed the others. "All of you Jun Shang should join in too. No spiritual power allowed, just pure skill."
The Tide Emperor became interested. "How are the rules set?"
Yun Zhi Yue slapped her hand on the coffee table. "You all come at me together. Whoever can make my hand leave the table can take any treasure from my underworld collection. In return, I'll take one treasure from each of your collections."
Su Ye raised an eyebrow. "What a bold claim! It's been decades since we last met; do you think you're invincible now?"
Yun Zhi Yue smirked. "Invincible or not, come and try."
Ji Wei, with alluring fox-like eyes full of interest, said, "I'll go first."
He reached out to touch Yun Zhi Yue's small hand, and colorful sand from his illusionary technique fell around her hand but had no effect.
Ji Wei's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is there no reaction at all? Even if you can't lift it, don't you feel my illusion?"
Yun Zhi Yue laughed heartily and looked at the others.
Soon after, Tide and Su Ye also tried one by one but found they couldn't lift her hand either. The three exchanged glances and struck together, yet still nothing happened.
Yun Shijiu was bewildered. "Sister, when did you become this strong? But you're not even in the Imperial Realm!"
Yun Zhi Yue smiled proudly. "Your sister is not an ordinary Tai Chu Ling; my level can't be measured by realms. In the Imperial Realm, I'm a Dao Master—that's just a widely known notion. Your sister practices something beyond that."
"You talk too much, and you won't understand anyway. Come on, Li Shang, weren't you being arrogant? Let's see if you can lift one of my hands."
Li Shang didn't exert any force; his large hand completely covered Su Shou's, sealing it tightly.
The essence of the Underworld King within Yun Zhi Yue was drawn in, wrapping around the back of their hands as they touched. Li Shang effortlessly grasped Yun Zhi Yue's hand.
"You're cheating! I said to only use the Dao," Yun Zhi Yue said with a dark expression.
Li Shang replied, "You never said I couldn't use strength. Can't handle losing?"
Yun Zhi Yue shook off Li Shang's hand. "Who can't handle losing? You chose this; take whatever you want."
"Alright, then I'll take it." With that, Yun Zhi Yue was swept off his feet, and their figures vanished up to the third floor.
