Because a layer of mist shrouded the valley above, Li Ruowang had no idea what awaited inside before entering.

Anxiety churning in her chest, she plunged straight in.

The moment she saw the berserk state of the divine beasts within, her heart jolted violently.

Without hesitation, she searched for cover and concealed herself.

The violent fluctuations of divine power in this place made one thing painfully clear.

The strength of these divine beasts far exceeded her own.

Charging in blindly would be certain death.

Waiting for an opportunity was the only correct path.

But where exactly was that brat?

Li Ruowang quietly released her divine sense to observe her surroundings. Not looking would have been better—once she did, she could not help but frown.

The battle here was simply too brutal.

All the divine beasts had gone mad, attacking one another. With every passing moment, another beast fell.

Blood had long since dyed the valley floor completely red.

Yet not a single beast retreated.

What in the world had happened here?

Just as Li Ruowang was puzzling over it, she suddenly looked up and saw a small snake, entirely black, slither up before her.

It showed no signs of attack, merely watching her.

Li Ruowang stared back and discovered that the divine power fluctuations from its body were extremely faint.

Was it too weak to join the battle?

At that very moment, a massive divine beast suddenly crashed over, completely destroying her cover.

Li Ruowang could only flash away.

Before leaving, she scooped up the black snake as well.

Perhaps it was pity.

But more importantly, that action completely exposed her position.

When the divine beasts noticed her presence, they all launched attacks at her.

Though she desperately resisted, she was knocked unconscious almost instantly.

When she regained consciousness, Li Ruowang found herself in a forest.

Beside her was the same black snake.

If not for it and the injury on her arm, she might have suspected that everything she had just experienced was merely an illusion.

It was simply too unbelievable.

In that situation, how had she survived?

The little snake slithered closer and flicked its tongue.

Li Ruowang cautiously asked, "Was it you who saved me?"

The little snake nodded.

It could not speak, but it understood her words.

From that day on, Li Ruowang gained a divine pet.

Although she had no idea how it had rescued her, she was deeply grateful.

Afterward, she tried to locate that valley again, but no matter what she did, she could never find it.

Left with no choice, she abandoned the Heart-Link Jade and resorted to the most foolish method to search for Ye Yu.

Fortunately, perseverance paid off.

Not long after, she encountered Yinghuo, which led to the present situation.

All in all, she felt she was extremely fortunate.

As Li Ruowang finished recounting her story, a completely black snake crawled out from her sleeve.

For some reason, the moment Ye Yu saw it, an inexplicable wave of disgust rose within him.

He even felt the urge to kill it.

To be honest, even he was surprised by the thought.

He truly seemed to loathe this snake.

The small black snake appeared to sense his hostility and turned to stare back at him.

At that moment, Little White, who had been sleeping, woke up. When it saw the small black snake ahead, its eyes lit up. It immediately stood and said, "Boss, it looks like it would taste pretty good. Why not let me swallow it?"

"No!"

Li Ruowang immediately stepped in front of the black snake, glaring at Little White with vigilance.

She did not recognize this little lamb.

At first glance, it looked adorable.

Who would have thought its first words would be about eating Little Black?

This was no ordinary black snake.

It was her savior.

How could she possibly stand by and watch it be eaten?

She raised her hand and drew it back onto her arm, then looked at Ye Yu, her eyes filled with resistance.

"Alright. Since your sister-in-law says not to eat it, then don’t. Go outside and find something else to eat."

Ye Yu said this while patting Little White’s forehead.

The latter replied somewhat apologetically, "Sister-in-law, sorry about that. Since you’re unwilling, forget it. I thought it was ownerless, so I just asked casually. Don’t take it to heart."

With that, Little White left the great hall.

Only after it had completely departed did Li Ruowang finally let out a breath of relief.

But in the very next second, her gaze turned strange.

Because Heng Xuanzhen had just walked in from outside.

When Ye Yu had gone out to receive Li Ruowang and Yinghuo earlier, she had not followed, instead going to prepare some tea.

Now that it was ready, she naturally brought it in.

Upon seeing Li Ruowang, Heng Xuanzhen was momentarily surprised, but quickly returned to normal.

Hah. Just another figure fabricated by inner demons. She had already seen her before.

At the time, she had thought her hallucinations were worsening.

But now she felt nothing.

If Bone Ji and Shen Fuxin and the others could be fabricated, then one or two more Li Ruowangs made no difference.

Thus, Heng Xuanzhen very naturally placed a cup of tea before Li Ruowang and softly said, "We meet again."

"Ah... yes, we meet again."

Li Ruowang’s tone was inevitably complicated.

This piqued Ye Yu’s curiosity.

"You know each other?"

Not just him—everyone present was puzzled.

Hadn’t she just arrived in the God Realm?

How could she know Heng Xuanzhen?

After hesitating briefly, Li Ruowang said softly, "She is the female sword god I just mentioned."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly froze.

They had all just heard Li Ruowang’s story.

Naturally, they knew about that mad female sword god.

You’re saying Heng Xuanzhen is the mad female sword ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) god?

Bone Ji could not help but frown and look toward Heng Xuanzhen.

The latter responded with a smile.

Beautiful. Enchanting.

Her emotions appeared extremely stable.

She had nothing to do with the word mad.

"You... perhaps remembered wrongly? Sister Heng is not that kind of person."

With Bone Ji taking the lead, Shen Fuxin and Yu Buxia quickly chimed in.

"Yes, that must be it. Or perhaps there were some special circumstances back then."

"Exactly. Zhen’er is very kind."

Although their words were not overly direct, Heng Xuanzhen was meticulous and quickly understood.

After all, when she had met Li Ruowang before, her emotions had been on the verge of collapse.

It was normal for the other party to say such things.

Thus, Heng Xuanzhen took the initiative to explain, "Some time ago, I encountered a deviation in my cultivation and was entangled by inner demons. I made a fool of myself before you."

Hearing this, Li Ruowang nodded repeatedly.

So that was the reason. That explained everything.

At that moment, Heng Xuanzhen stepped before Ye Yu and gently placed a cup of tea down.

Her gaze swept lightly across his face.
