Ye Chen was initially a bit worried. But then it hit him. Hadn't he already killed Ying Tiansheng's younger brother?
Oh, well, no issue then. Ye Chen didn't bother arguing with the Holy Master. He and the fiancée had a clear conscience.
After Ye Chen spoke, Feng Baiyu raised an eyebrow. "I don't doubt that Yi Qingwu. After all, you two are… deeply in love. I trust your taste in won, so let's assu she's not trying to screw you over. But the Heavenly Intention Holy Son? How do you know he hasn't caught on to you two? What if this is a trap set just for you?
All that talk of the First Nether Son or Fifth Nether Maiden could be fake. Maybe they just want to kill you. And while they're at it, deal a heavy blow to our Heavenly Evolution Holy Land! Yi Qingwu tipping you off? Could be she's doing it right under their noses."
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed. Okay, that wasn't impossible. After all, as a man, the Heavenly Intention Holy Son probably wanted him dead most, especially with the fiancée constantly stirring things up. So, what now? Ignore it?
Ye Chen glanced at his Holy Master.
Feng Baiyu grinned. "We're going. If they really start fighting, that's good for us. If we can take out a few of their Supre Elders, Heavenly Intention Holy Land will be crippled for millennia. We'll stay hidden, far away. No casualties, we don't move. Unless a few Mahayana cultivators fall, we stay put. I'll call more Supre Elders out of seclusion. The more, the better. If we spot an opportunity, we send half our forces—check for ambushes first. Oh, and here's an idea: secretly set up a killing formation. If there's an ambush, our vanguard retreats, luring them into the trap…"
Feng Baiyu sched battle plans. Ye Chen listened briefly, already sensing the Holy Master's cunning. He cupped his fists, acknowledged the brilliance, and bolted.
Back from Great Shang Immortal City after a week, it was ti to deliver gifts. First, the Healing Secret. The recipient? Senior An, naturally. Since Senior An gained the Seven Extres Immortal Body from a remnant soul, her multiplier hit 2,000. With critical hits, she wouldn't disappoint.
But on the flight over, Ye Chen recalled the Fifth Nether Maiden. She had the Nether God Body. Seed pretty strong. Maybe her multiplier was high too?
Ye Chen, kind-hearted as ever, couldn't bear to see soone caught in a plot and die unjustly. So, should he sneak a peek beforehand? Check if she's a good woman. How to judge? Over 2,000, she qualifies. Below that? No real value to him now.

Above the Endless Sea, a figure in a black robe, concealing her entire body, revealed only a pair of bare feet, strikingly fair and translucent. Spiritual bells hung on her ankles, jingling pleasantly with each step. As she neared Great Yan Continent, her steps grew lighter, the bells ringing with joy.
This was Su Yuxuan, the Fifth Nether Maiden of the Nether God Holy Land. Nominally fifth, but in truth, second. She was one of only two with the Nether God Body. Once she broke through to the Unity realm, she could vie for the title of First Nether Maiden.
"So happy?"
A female voice echoed in Su Yuxuan's mind. Su Yuxuan nodded without hesitation, replying through transmission.
"Master was right. It's been over a decade since we parted in the Great Chu Dynasty. Senior Brother will be thrilled to see . I'm even tempted. Based on the news, the Three Yin True Water won't fully form for another month. With that ti, I could make a round trip to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land!"
Her master, Manjusaka, sighed helplessly. After all these years, Su Yuxuan still couldn't forget Ye Chen. But Manjusaka didn't try to persuade her otherwise. After all, Su Yuxuan's heart and eyes were gifts from Ye Chen. Even a golden core. Those gifts brought her endless benefits, enabling her to ascend to the Nether God Body, seize opportunities, and advance rapidly. Her attachnt to Ye Chen was only natural. Not to ntion, Ye Chen was now the Heavenly Emperor's heir, capable of crushing a Star River King Body with ease. Even Manjusaka was quietly amazed by him.
Still, she spoke seriously. "Head to the Three Yin True Water's birthplace first. The world's environnt is harsh now; it's increasingly rare. We've searched for five years without a trace. It's a key material for refining my body, with no substitute. So, secure it first. As for Ye Chen, et him later. If you see him now, you two will be inseparable for at least a week."
Manjusaka valued the Three Yin True Water highly. After five years of searching, she'd only recently bought information from a secretive source. Missing this chance could an an indefinite wait.
Su Yuxuan, unfazed, let out a bell-like laugh. "Senior Brother's always full of tricks, so it takes a bit longer… but Master's right. Let's secure the Three Yin True Water first."
Though a little devilish, Su Yuxuan wasn't heartless. She knew her priorities.
Manjusaka smiled, satisfied, but couldn't resist a warning. "n are no good. Ye Chen's strong, but no different… Masters, senior sisters, others' fiancée, even elders' orphans—he spares no one. Now, as the Heavenly Emperor's heir, he might've forgotten you already. Trust , n are unreliable. Only won can truly help won…"
Used to her master's daily anti-man rants, Su Yuxuan just nodded along. "Mhm, mhm, mhm…" Then, locking onto her destination, she floated off with light steps.
She wasn't too worried about securing the Three Yin True Water. With her formidable strength and a Mahayana-stage protector assigned by the Nether God Holy Land, success was certain. Once this was settled, she'd find Senior Brother. Let him experience the moves she'd practiced in her spare ti.
Su Yuxuan wasn't kidding. Her feet, now as nimble as a second pair of hands, were extraordinarily agile. They'd surely leave an unforgettable impression on her quirk-loving Senior Brother.
…
As Su Yuxuan neared the Three Yin True Water's birthplace, many lips curled into smiles… but they didn't act yet. Instead, they waited, as planned, for the water to fully form…
