Wei Chen glanced at the beautiful woman beside him, Snow Cicada, who showed no reaction, clearly having not heard the loud roar.
"Fortunately, no innocent bystanders were harmed. Has that crazy woman, Ni Junlin, really lost her mind?"
Wrapping himself in a robe, Wei Chen quietly left the room.
In the courtyard, Ni Junlin stood there with a frosty expression. Upon seeing Wei Chen emerge, she let out a heavy cold snort, her brows furrowed in anger.
"Ni Junlin, what do you want? Have I offended you?" Wei Chen asked helplessly.
"What’s going on with that woman?" Ni Junlin demanded angrily.
Wei Chen shrugged. "I met her in The Extreme North. We hit it off, so I brought her back. What’s it to you? Are you going to meddle in my affairs now?"
Ni Junlin was momentarily speechless, her face darkening as she struggled to find a retort. After all, what right did she have to interfere?
"Ni Junlin, you came to me just to ask about Snow Cicada? That’s a bit overbearing, don’t you think? Who I choose to be with is none of your business."
"Besides, in this world, it’s quite normal for men to have multiple wives or concubines. Even if you have some thoughts about it, you can’t interfere in my private matters."
"And by the way, are you only just now finding out about my relationship with Snow Cicada? Haven't you been following me around secretly to protect me? You didn’t follow me when I was in The Extreme North, did you?"
Wei Chen fired off three questions in quick succession, leaving Ni Junlin at a loss for words.
However, Ni Junlin's expression did not improve; her voice was deep and haunting as she said, "Wei Chen, didn’t you promise to marry me?"
Wei Chen was taken aback for a moment before letting out a helpless smile. "I did promise that, but what does it matter? I will definitely marry you in the future, but not right now. And even if I do marry you, does that give you the right to dictate my relationships with other women?"
"Demon Lotus" has always been like this. In another world, you would be familiar with "Demon Lotus." Don't you understand its nature? Now that I have merged with "Demon Lotus," I have unknowingly been influenced. Many things are beyond my control. If you want to cause trouble, you shouldn't come looking for me, right?"
Wei Chen argued logically, speaking eloquently, but deep down, he felt a sense of panic. No matter how much he tried to hide it, he couldn't mask that feeling of guilt.
In front of Ni Junlin, Wei Chen always felt that this woman was not someone to provoke, someone he couldn't and didn't want to offend.
"Are you done?" Ni Junlin said coldly.
Wei Chen nodded. "I'm done. How will you refute me?"
"I truly can't manage your affairs. The reason I didn't go to The Extreme North with you before was due to my own issues. After watching you kill the man in the black robe, I found my breakthrough opportunity. Reaching the Earth Soul Realm is extremely difficult; each level requires more than just accumulating Soul Power; it requires insight and opportunity. I couldn't miss that chance, so I didn't go to The Extreme North. There are no experts there; your safety is assured, and I can rest easy not going."
Ni Junlin explained and then looked deeply at Wei Chen before continuing, "You can pursue as many women as you want; I won't interfere. As long as you can fulfill your promise in the future and marry me, that's enough."
A hint of sorrow appeared on Ni Junlin's face.
"Then why are you yelling at me?" Wei Chen said with a pitiful expression, feigning to rub his ears. "My eardrums might burst from your shouting..."
"If I don't yell at you, how will you come out of your gentle haven? Don't forget that your Sister Wei Rou is still waiting for you to rescue her in the Soul Palace! Without strength, who can you rely on? I can indeed help you, but my current strength is only Earth Soul Realm Level Four. How strong can that be? In Ling City, there aren't many strong experts on the surface, but from what I know, there are several Earth Soul Realm Experts. Once a battle breaks out, if you don't rely on yourself, can you fully depend on me?"
Ni Junlin was furious; her resentment was mixed with frustration at Wei Chen's obsession with his gentle haven—how could he find time to cultivate?
Wei Chen was taken aback but then smiled wryly and nodded. "You're right; thank you for waking me up."
"Hmph! Now you realize?" Ni Junlin shot him a disdainful glance. Her words were actually meant to give Wei Chen an out while also providing herself with a way to save face.
"You've broken through to the Spirit Wisdom Realm. According to the rules, you can ask one more question. Go ahead and ask now; I still need to cultivate. As for what you should do, that's up to you. If you're planning to go back and sleep with your beauty, I won't stop you again."
Wei Chen smiled awkwardly and shook his head, indicating he wouldn't go again. Without any hesitation, he asked, "Ni Junlin, I have one question. You came to this world because of my previous life’s arrangements to protect me. If that's the case, you should obey any command I give, right?"
Ni Junlin looked at Wei Chen speechlessly, opening his mouth but unable to say anything.
"Since you’re in agreement, let’s consider that confirmed. I don’t have any demands for you right now, but when the Ling City War begins, you will do as I say. For now, focus on your training. I will also do my best; the battle with the Fourteenth Prince is about to start."
Wei Chen had made arrangements with Formation Master Han Mang and the current Peach Blossom Island Master Mr. Mo. The Fourteenth Prince was waiting for him, and that battle would surely shake the entire Ling City; it would even mark the beginning of the Ling City War.
"Just keep that in mind. If you really can’t win, you can run. If you absolutely can’t escape, just drop some blood on that stone, and you’ll be able to enter that space and see the girl you’ve been thinking about. But be warned, there are risks involved; if someone gets hold of that stone and sets up a restriction formation, when you come out, it could end very badly for you," Ni Junlin reminded him.
"Is that really possible? So if I drop my blood on that stone now, I can enter?" Wei Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Ni Junlin seemed a bit annoyed at having let that slip but could only nod in response.
"You can give it a try. That’s an escape stone; it can also help enhance your strength. Make good use of it, and your Soul Power Realm will improve quickly. The Soul World—huh, this low-level realm really doesn’t have much to offer. My current strength is nowhere near what it was at my peak. Your realm is too low; having too many burdens will only weigh you down. Just remember that even top-tier experts in the Soul World aren’t much of a threat. You need to cultivate to reach the Soul Realm Peak as soon as possible; then I’ll tell you what to do."
After finishing his words, Ni Junlin gave Wei Chen a deep look before preparing to leave.
"Wait! I have one more question about my Spiritual Wisdom Realm Martial Soul."
"Go ahead."
"I went to the Extreme North to condense the Ocean Soul, but the Demon Lotus wouldn’t help me and I couldn’t condense it for a long time. In the end, not only did it not assist me, but it also tricked me into getting a useless Water Soul. What does that mean?"
"The Ocean Soul? Hah, how naive of you. Do you think the Ocean Soul is stronger than the Water Soul? Water is the source of all things; both Ocean Soul and Lake Soul cannot compare to the Water Soul. Only with the Water Soul can you have infinite possibilities. When your strength is sufficient, the Water Soul can transform freely into any form of Ocean Soul or river."
Ni Junlin added another reminder: "Remember this: the simpler a Martial Soul is, the more powerful it becomes later on. You might not see this in the Soul World, but once you reach higher realms, you'll understand this point. The Sword Mountain Spirit already possesses metallic and earth attributes; Brahma Flower Soul counts as wood attribute while fire represents fire attribute. Right now, your body contains all five elements of Soul Power, which is extremely beneficial for your cultivation. That’s all I have to say; I'm leaving."
Ni Junlin flew away.
Wei Chen analyzed the situation for a moment, and his mood suddenly brightened.
"Yes, Ocean Soul, isn't that just water? No wonder Demon Lotus made me condense Water Soul; she wasn't trying to harm me. Sigh, Demon Lotus, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. If only you could talk... Next time, no matter what Martial Soul you help me condense, I won't complain anymore."
Wei Chen opened his palm, revealing a dull stone that seemed unremarkable as it lay quietly there. He bit his finger and let a few drops of blood fall onto the stone. Suddenly, it emitted a hazy white light that enveloped Wei Chen completely.
In the next moment, Wei Chen entered the grayish space.
Endless gravel stretched out before him under a dim sky. Wei Chen turned around to look at his surroundings and was instantly filled with joy.
"I finally made it here! That woman Ni Junlin is really quite jealous; why didn't she tell me sooner?"
In reality, Wei Chen had wronged Ni Junlin. To enter this independent space, one had to reach the Spirit Wisdom Realm; without being in the Spirit Wisdom Realm, shedding blood would be useless.
Ni Junlin hadn't explained all this to Wei Chen; her nature was such that she preferred not to elaborate, allowing him to figure it out on his own over time. By the time Wei Chen realized her good intentions, much time would have passed.
"Where is that girl? Why hasn't she come out this time?"
Wei Chen looked around and listened intently, but there was no sound and no sign of anyone.
He soared into the air, racing wildly as he scanned the area, but the girl was nowhere to be found.
"What could be the reason for this? When Ni Junlin was here, that girl helped me improve my strength; she wouldn't deceive me about something so important. Could it be that she's in trouble?"
Thinking of this, Wei Chen followed his instincts and rushed toward the center of the stone space.
About an hour later, Wei Chen spotted his statue from a distance, and his heart leaped with joy. He flapped his enormous wings, now over thirty meters long, and flew over.
"Over there!"
Beneath the statue sat the girl who had captured his heart. Opposite her was a golden giant serpent, flicking its tongue and gazing down at her with an imposing presence.
Upon seeing Wei Chen approach, the girl slightly turned her head and offered him a smile. But soon, that smile was replaced by a look of tension. She extended her delicate finger toward the Golden Giant Serpent, her expression warning him not to come any closer.
Wei Chen halted at a distance, squinting at the massive serpent, feeling a surge of fear. "How did this thing come into being? Ni Junlin never mentioned anything about it. This kind of creature shouldn't exist in this space!"
"The aura of the serpent is extraordinarily strong, far more formidable than Elder Di. It must be at least a Ninth Rank or even a Tenth-Rank Monster. If I go over there, it would be like seeking death."
After analyzing the power dynamics, Wei Chen chose not to advance and quietly observed the standoff between the girl and the serpent.
As time passed, the giant serpent seemed to merely watch the girl without any intention of harming her. In its eyes, there was no anger—only an endless haze.
Suddenly, the girl stood up and walked toward Wei Chen.
The giant serpent followed closely behind her, its head raised high, towering ten meters above. In front of it, the girl appeared incredibly small.
