Chapter Eight: Sweet

nothings. "So it was love at first sight!" Shui Ruo laughed. "So he must really like you."

"Really?" E'yan asked, looking at her.

"Definitely. Why do you seem so confused?" Shui Ruo said with a smile, already starting to like this simple and confused girl.

"I'm not... not really sure about this. No one has ever treated me like that before," E'yan said, her face slightly flushed.

"You're so beautiful, how could no one have?" Shui Ruo found it a little strange.

"Maybe..." E'yan said, bewildered, "Many people are afraid of my master, they don't even dare to play with me."

"Your master is..." Shui Ruo blurted out, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly remembered He Tianpeng's warning, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Sister, you weren't just trying to coax me, were you?" E'yan said.

"Coax you about what?"

"You said he... he really likes me..." E'yan stammered in a mosquito's mouth.

"I think so, judging from what you said," Shui Ruo replied with a grin. "But you'll have to feel it for yourself, or you can just ask him directly."

E Yan pondered for a while, seemingly making a decision, her eyes sparkling as she looked directly at Shui Ruo.

Shui Ruo was puzzled and was about to ask.

"Huh?" E Yan suddenly sniffed, surprised. "What a strange fragrance!"

Shui Ruo sniffed carefully and said, "It's nothing, just the fresh scent of grass and trees, right?"

"No, no... Ah!" E Yan exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Shui Ruo asked.

E Yan said, "I remember now, there's a kind of magical grass around here, the fruit is incredibly delicious, I'll take you to see it."

Shui Ruo hesitated. "No, maybe they'll be better soon."

"Who knows how long we'll have to wait? Why should we just stand there like idiots? Let's go, it's not far, it's nearby." E Yan affectionately took her wrist and pulled her away without further ado.

Shui Ruo had no choice but to follow her. After walking for a while, they still didn't stop. Shui Ruo hurriedly said, "Isn't it not far? If we go too far, they won't be able to find us."

"We'll be there soon." E Yan simply led her forward. After a while, she finally called out, "This is it."

It turned out that the two had reached the edge of a cliff. Shui Ruo looked around and saw clouds and mist spreading like a sea below the cliff. She said with a chill, "It's so high up here."

"Yes, but the highest point of Giant Bamboo Valley is just ahead, and it's even more beautiful than here." E Yan replied, letting go of Shui Ruo and walking straight towards the edge of the cliff.

"What are you doing? Be careful!" Shui Ruo hurriedly called out.

E Yan didn't answer. She walked to the edge of the cliff, knelt down, leaned over to look down, and exclaimed joyfully, "Great! The fruit has already ripened!" Suddenly, she leaped and disappeared into the distance.

Shui Ruo was shocked and immediately froze.

However, only a few breaths later, a figure flashed, and someone appeared on the cliff edge. Shui Ruo looked closely and saw that it was none other than E Yan.

Shui Ruo was both happy and surprised, patting her chest and exclaiming, "What are you doing? You really scared me to death!"

"I'm going down to pick fruit," E Yan said, carrying a bunch of bright red fruit as she walked towards her.

"Is it worth it for a few fruits, given how dangerous it is?" Shui Ruo was still shaken.

E Yan looked at her, her eyes seemingly quite complicated, and smiled, "I made my sister worry, but these fruits are definitely worth the risk." As she spoke, she picked up the bunch of fruit.

Seeing the cluster of fruits, each the size of a longan, fiery red and glistening like pearls, Shui Ruo couldn't help but exclaim, "What beautiful fruits! What's their name?"

E'yan simply replied, "These fruits only bear fruit once every few years, even decades. We're lucky to have found them." She then picked one and handed it to Shui Ruo, saying, "Try it, it's incredibly delicious."

Shui Ruo took it, hesitatingly asking, "What is it?"

E'yan picked another and put it in her mouth. After chewing a few times, the juice overflowed, staining her cherry lips a vibrant purple. Her normally icy face suddenly flushed with two alluring blushes, and her clear, bright eyes now shimmered, as if she were drunk.

Even Shui Ruo, a woman, was momentarily stunned by the sight.

Eyan urged, "Eat it quickly, it's very sweet." Shui

Ru put the fruit in her mouth, took a small bite, and immediately the juice burst out, indeed unusually sweet. After swallowing the juice, she suddenly felt a surge of heat, warming her entire body, and her face also became hot. She exclaimed in surprise, "How strange!"

Eyan picked another one and handed it to her, smiling, "Eat some more, eat some more. This fruit is an extremely good and rare thing. It is said to be very good for us women, especially good for beauty."

"Really?" Shui Ru's heart fluttered. Looking at the girl opposite her with her unusually lovely red face, she ate the fruit again, feeling a warm current flowing through her body, so comfortable that even her heart seemed to melt.

Eyan was also looking at Shui Ru's face, her gaze a mixture of surprise and envy, clicking her tongue and saying, "After eating this fruit, sister is indeed even more beautiful!" As she spoke, she picked the fruit in her hand for her one after another.

Which woman doesn't crave beauty? Besides, Shui Ruo always loved sweets, and in her delight, she ate several without realizing it. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she chuckled, "How strange! Eating these fruits... it's like drinking... a little... intoxicating!"

E'yan smiled sweetly and replied, "You'll be even more intoxicated later! Sister, dare you eat some more?"

Shui Ruo stammered, "Why... why wouldn't I dare? These fruits are so delicious... good sister, sister... sister wants more... oh..." She touched her face and continued, "Why... why is my face so hot?" Before she could finish speaking, she slumped down, struggling to stand, but instead collapsed to the ground.

E'yan approached and softly called, "Sister, sister, what's wrong?"

Shui Ruo didn't respond, looking completely drunk.

E'yan laughed, "Sister, don't you know? This fruit is from the Jade Red Grass. Although it can nourish the skin, it's extremely intoxicating. Legend has it that if you brew wine from it, it can intoxicate you for three hundred years. I almost got drunk after eating just one. How dare you eat so many?"

Shui Ruo groaned, muttering something.

E'yan leaned down to listen and heard words like "pig's head" and "Xiao Xuan." Her expression changed slightly. Suddenly, she helped Shui Ruo up and placed her on the edge of the cliff, supporting her shoulders with her hands. Looking at her, she sighed, "Sister, don't blame me. Who told me to meet him today? And his heart only holds you..."

Shui Ruo drooped her head, silent. Behind her was an endless expanse of clouds and a sheer cliff.

E'yan bit her cherry lips, about to push her away, when she suddenly heard someone calling from afar. It was Xiao Xuan and He Tianpeng's voices. She froze, her beautiful face changing rapidly, sometimes hesitant, sometimes cold, sometimes panicked.

"Shui Ruo? Where are you?" Xiao Xuan's voice grew clearer.

E Yan recalled his anxious search for Shui Ruo earlier, gritted her teeth, and was about to push him away.

"E Yan? E Yan?" Xiao Xuan called again.

E Yan froze, as if frozen in place.

"Where are you? Come out quickly!" Xiao Xuan's voice was filled with anxiety.

E Yan stared at Shui Ruo, let out a weak, groaning sigh, and pulled her back from the cliff edge, shouting, "We're here!"

Xiao Xuan and He Tianpeng arrived swiftly, both startled by the sight. Xiao Xuan rushed forward, helping to support Shui Ruo, and asked in a panic, "Why are her lips purple? Is she poisoned?"

E Yan replied, "No, we just ate a few fruits."

Xiao Xuan then noticed that her lips had also turned purple, which, combined with the two bright red blushes on her fair face, made her appear unusually alluring and seductive. He was momentarily stunned.

He Tianpeng, however, looked suspicious and stood to the side, cautiously glancing around.

Eyan waved the bright red fruit bunch in her hand, exhaling, "Want to try some? It's incredibly sweet."

Xiao Xuan actually smelled an intoxicating fragrance from her breath and exclaimed in surprise, "What is this? Why are you eating random things!"

Eyan leaned against his shoulder and chuckled, "Don't be nervous, I recognize these fruits. They're from the Jade Red Grass. They're not poisonous, but... they're a little... a little intoxicating, hehe."

"Jade Red Grass?" Xiao Xuan asked in surprise, "Where did you get it?"

Eyan pointed towards the cliff, "I picked it down there."

Xiao Xuan glared at her, "How can you eat random things! Don't you know? Legend has it that the fruit of the Jade Red Grass can intoxicate someone for three hundred years!"

"So you know about it too. Looks like you've seen quite a bit," Eyan said with a simple smile.

Xiao Xuan frowned and asked, "How much did you eat?"

"Let me count... one... two... three..." E'yan leaned softly against his arm, counting on her slender fingers, "three... four... sigh, I can't count, but there were only a few."

Xiao Xuan looked at Shui Ruo and then at her, and said irritably, "Now you two can just sleep here, you don't need to go anywhere."

E'yan cried out, "No, no, I can leave, are you trying to go back on your promise?" Xiao

Xuan looked at Shui Ruo and said, "Then what about her?"

E'yan said, "She can just sleep here, we'll keep going."

He Tianpeng, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted, coldly saying, "I'm not going anywhere, if you insist on leaving, I'll stay here and take care of Miss Cheng for you."

"You'll take care of her?" Xiao Xuan exclaimed, and an image immediately flashed in his mind: a big gray wolf with long drool dripping down its throat squatting in front of a sleeping lamb.

He Tianpeng nodded and replied loudly, "Yes, you can go without worry. As long as I stay here, there won't be any problems."

Xiao Xuan broke out in a cold sweat and resolutely declared, "I'm not going anywhere either!"

E'yan glanced at him, then suddenly walked towards He Tianpeng, smiling and saying, "You really aren't going?"

He Tianpeng stared at her warily and replied, "That's right."

E'yan took something out of her sleeve, made a fist, and smiled sweetly, "Young Master, guess what I have in my hand?"

He Tianpeng looked at her pink fist with suspicion and said coldly, "I can't guess."

"You... you're really boring. Alright, here you go." E'yan opened her palm, revealing a talisman that looked like a flower-patterned note.

He Tianpeng was baffled, unable to figure out her meaning, when suddenly the talisman vanished without a trace. Almost simultaneously, a pair of colorful butterflies flew in from nowhere, fluttering up and down, left and right, circling around him. His eyelids began to feel heavy, and his mind became somewhat hazy. He knew something was wrong and hurriedly reached for the Vajra Demon-Trapping Net at his waist, but it was too late. He swayed a few times and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Xiao Xuan was greatly surprised. Before he could get a better look, the colorful butterflies were gone. He exclaimed in astonishment, "How could this be?"

E'yan smiled and said, "Now you can rest assured, right?"

"What happened to him?" Xiao Xuan asked again.

"He has stolen the soul of my talisman. Without an antidote, he won't wake up for three days and three nights," E'yan said with a grin.

"What kind of talisman did you use?" Xiao Xuan asked in horror.

"The talisman I used was called 'Soul-Hooking Butterfly,' isn't it interesting?" E'yan replied.

"Soul-snatching Butterfly..." Xiao Xuan stammered, "How do you have so many strange talismans?"

"Some were given to me by my master, and some I made myself," E'yan said smugly.

Xiao Xuan wiped his sweat and said, "You won't use them against me, will you?"

"That's not necessarily true. If you anger her..." The girl narrowed her large, clear eyes.

Xiao Xuan looked at her with a pale face.

E'yan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, even if I wanted to harm you... I wouldn't do anything too terrible."

Xiao Xuan looked at Shui Ruo in his arms and said, "Do you have any talismans to cure drunkenness?"

E'yan said, "No, I don't. Just let her sleep here. You come with me and I'll take you to get the Treasure Bottle Bamboo."

"Let her sleep here... are you kidding me?" Xiao Xuan felt something was amiss.

"He Tianpeng is already out of his mind," E'yan said. "What are you still worried about?"

"No, no, there are many strange birds and beasts in this valley. If they come while we're not here, my senior sister will be in big trouble," Xiao Xuan said.

"Alright, I have a way," Shui Ruo said, reaching into her sleeve and quickly taking out a talisman. She said to Xiao Xuan, "Put her down and come over here."

Xiao Xuan didn't know what she was up to, but he did as she said, placing Shui Ruo on the grass and walking over.

E'yan muttered something to herself, then suddenly raised her hand. The scene in front of her distorted, as if a ripple of water was slowly spreading, and then Shui Ruo and He Tianpeng disappeared.

The flowers and grass on the ground remained the same, and Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded.

"Now you should be relieved, right?" E'yan said.

"Where did they go?"

"They've been concealed by talismans. They're completely hidden. Even if some insects or beasts come here, there's no danger."

Xiao Xuan walked to where he had put Shui Ruo down, touching and probing here and there, and asked nervously, "Did you really make them disappear?"

E Yan said irritably, "Don't worry, I promise I'll bring you back a perfectly healthy senior sister when I come back. Can we go now?"

This girl's talismans were endless, and each one was more magical than the last. Xiao Xuan was shocked and nodded absentmindedly, saying, "Let's hurry up, so my senior sister won't be worried when she wakes up."

"She probably won't wake up for a day or two... Alright, finally it's just the two of us... Let's go!" E Yan smiled broadly.

Xiao Xuan stared at the bunch of fruit in her hand and suddenly asked, "You said you picked these fruits from the bottom of that cliff?"

"Huh?... Yes." E Yan seemed slightly taken aback.

"Wait for me." Xiao Xuan walked towards the edge of the cliff.

"What are you doing?" E Yan quickly grabbed him and asked.

Xiao Xuan said, "The fruit of the Jade Red Grass is extremely rare. Ancient texts record that it's excellent for brewing wine and refining elixirs. I need to collect some for later use."

E'yan paused, blinked, and said, "There's none left down there... I picked them all for you. If you want them, I'll give them all to you."

"Oh... isn't that too much trouble?" Xiao Xuan rubbed his hands.

"You're not embarrassed? You seem quite shameless." E'yan smiled and glared at him, readily handing over the string of fiery red fruit.

Xiao Xuan quickly took it, swiftly putting it into his Ruyi Pouch, grinning from ear to ear, repeatedly saying, "Then I won't be polite, thank you so much... Let's go, which way should we go?"

"Carry me on your back," E'yan said.

Xiao Xuan looked at her and said, "Why do you want me to carry you again... Isn't your foot better?"

"My foot is better, but after eating that fruit, I feel weak," E'yan said. He

was indebted to her. Xiao Xuan had no choice but to carry her on his back, grumbling, "See if you dare to eat random things again next time."

"I won't do it again next time," the girl on his back replied sweetly, her smooth face pressed against the boy's neck.

Xiao Xuan's heart pounded, and he asked again, "Which way?"

E'yan pointed in a direction.

************

The mountain became increasingly steep, almost treacherous, and the bamboo forest was deeper and denser than before, but Xiao Xuan was a cultivator, and although he was carrying E'yan, he didn't feel any strain.

The two talked all the way, becoming more and more familiar and intimate.

Perhaps she was truly drunk, E'yan brazenly lay on Xiao Xuan's back, her soft and fragrant body indescribable.

"Miss E'yan, just now you..." Xiao Xuan asked.

"You can just call me by my name," the girl interrupted.

"Oh, what was the name of that talisman you used to make people disappear?"

"It's called 'Emptiness'," E'yan replied.

"Empty?" Xiao Xuan chuckled. "It really is empty. Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes, I made it, but the method was taught to me by my master."

"I wonder what the materials for this Empty Talisman are like? Is it difficult to refine?"

E'yan said, "The method of refining it isn't too difficult, but the materials are quite rare. However, I always get a lot of materials from people."

"So, you...you have a lot of Empty Talismans, right?" Xiao Xuan stammered.

"Not many." E'yan replied, then suddenly noticed something and glanced at him from the side, saying, "How many are there?"

"Could you..." Xiao Xuan swallowed his words when he heard her say not many.

"You want it?" E'yan asked. Xiao

Xuan quickly nodded. At this crucial moment, a real man can't be too shy, especially since E'yan had always given him the impression of being very generous.

"Why do you want everything?" the girl laughed.

"Finally, you're giving up!" Xiao Xuan's heart sank, and he chuckled awkwardly, "This talisman is quite interesting, but...

since there aren't many, I'll pass."

"Although there aren't many, it's not like I can't give them to you. How about this, I'll give you a riddle to guess, and if you guess it right, I'll reward you with an 'Empty' talisman." E'yan smiled and said.

"Okay, okay, I'm getting bored walking around." Xiao Xuan readily agreed, not

wanting to let the opportunity slip by. "Then listen carefully..." E'yan recited aloud: "A pair of chopsticks, two arms, specializing in scooping oil and water from soup, both picky and savvy, and loves to poke and pound, it tastes the best food first, yet it never gets fat or grows tall, and if you want this fellow to stop, the bowl will be empty. Guess the idiom."

Xiao Xuan frowned, racking his brains.

E'yan smiled at him.

"Completely clean, right?"

"No." E'yan judged.

"No worries about food and clothing?" Xiao Xuan racked his brains.

"Wrong, where did the clothes come from?"

"First come, first served?" Xiao Xuan guessed blindly.

"You're just guessing."

"Doing nothing?" Xiao Xuan's forehead was sweating.

"Nonsense." E Yan spat.

"Boundless good fortune!" Xiao Xuan was anxious.

E Yan asked curiously, "Boundless good fortune? Is that an idiom?"

"I'm not guessing anymore, just tell me the answer!" Xiao Xuan surrendered.

"You give up?" E Yan said.

Xiao Xuan nodded, looking exhausted.

"Then I'll tell you the answer?"

"Say it." "

Come closer." E Yan called.

Xiao Xuan leaned closer and put his ear to the girl's cherry lips.

"Greedy." E Yan said softly.

Xiao Xuan froze for a moment, his face suddenly turning red.

E Yan bit her cherry lips and stared at him, holding back for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Not only did he not get the talisman, but he was also ridiculed. Xiao Xuan was embarrassed and angry, but at this moment he was too weak to do anything but snort.

E'yan laughed even harder, her body swaying wildly like a flower branch, her soft, supple breasts brushing against the man's back, sometimes close, sometimes far.

Xiao Xuan felt a tingling sensation all over his back, his anger and embarrassment transforming into a restless mind. His face flushed, he tried to make conversation: "Why aren't we there yet?" "

Almost there. Look up, that's the highest point." The girl raised her arm and pointed upwards, her soft, narrow sleeves slipping down to reveal an incredibly alluring section of her fair, white arm.

Xiao Xuan's mouth went dry, and his anxiety intensified. He quickly tried to distract himself, saying, "Strange, why haven't we encountered any spiders along this path?"

E'yan said, "Don't be happy, there are many more ahead, even more difficult to deal with than before."

"You've been here before, haven't you? You know so well." Xiao Xuan asked.

"Yes." E'yan only replied with one word.

Xiao Xuan wondered, "Why did she stop talking as soon as this was mentioned?"

Chapter Nine: A Beauty's Gift

"Put me down." E'yan suddenly said.

Xiao Xuan put her down and grumbled, "Finally feeling... embarrassed, huh?"

"Oh, so you didn't want to carry me!" the girl said, glaring at him.

"Who would want to? So stingy..." Xiao Xuan muttered under his breath, still bothered by her empty talisman.

E'yan felt both amused and annoyed, but her face showed a tense expression. She said, "You go first, be careful."

Seeing her expression, Xiao Xuan dared not be careless and focused on walking forward.

E'yan held a purple talisman between her fingers and followed him a zhang away.

Xiao Xuan looked around, puzzled, "What's going on..."

"Don't talk, walk carefully." E'yan immediately blocked his way. Xiao Xuan

forced a smile and said, "We're less than half a li from the ridge peak now, a short run will get us there, why make such a fuss? Why don't we..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard a rustling of grass and trees beside him. He turned around but saw nothing.

"Coming! Watch out!" E'yan shouted, a flash of purple light appearing between her fingers, and four bright purple orbs suddenly appeared around her, swirling and circling.

"Watch out for what?" Xiao Xuan, his whip at his arm, felt a slight gust of wind approaching. He hesitated for a moment, then his left arm suddenly stung, as if cut by something. Blood spurted from a tear in his clothes, but he was still completely bewildered.

Behind him, E'yan swung her arm, and one of the four purple orbs swirling around her flew straight to Xiao Xuan's side. A muffled "boom" was heard, and a ball of purple flame exploded out of thin air, followed by the shrill cry of some creature.

In a flash, Xiao Xuan saw a spider-like monster appear in the purple flame. Terrified, he quickly lashed out with his whip, tearing it into several pieces.

Eyan retrieved the orb of light to her side, rushed forward to check his arm, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Xiao Xuan stared in astonishment at the several still-burning pieces of the body that had fallen to the ground, his mouth agape, and asked, "What the hell is that! Why couldn't I see it just now?"

Eyan smiled and said, "It's a ghost spider. Although it's not as poisonous as a fire spider, nor as fast and ferocious as a tiger spider, it's the strangest and most difficult to deal with on Ten Thousand Spider Ridge because it has the ability to become invisible, making it impossible to guard against."

"Invisible? Why didn't you say so earlier!" Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded.

"Didn't I just tell you to be careful?" Eyan said.

Xiao Xuan then noticed her change, staring blankly at the four purple orbs swirling around her body. "What kind of weapon is that? It looks pretty good." "

It's not a weapon, it's a talisman, called the Purple Thunder Shield," E'yan replied.

"A talisman? That's amazing! I've heard my second senior sister say that some talismans can be used as weapons, and today I've finally seen it with my own eyes." Xiao Xuan clicked his tongue, then asked, "How long does it last?" "

If you don't retract it, it

can last for half an hour." "That long? That's top-notch..." Xiao Xuan rubbed his hands, swallowing hard. "How many of these talismans do you have?"

"Are you jealous again? Get out of here!" E'yan snapped.

Xiao Xuan suppressed his greed and continued forward, this time cautiously taking each step carefully. At the slightest disturbance, he would whip the spiders wildly into the air. However, the ghost spiders were invisible and difficult to defend against, and he was repeatedly wounded. Fortunately, E'yan was watching him closely; wherever the purple lightning struck, a ghost spider would appear.

After walking a while, the number of ghost spiders along the way increased, sometimes with three or four attacking simultaneously. Xiao Xuan was overwhelmed and unable to use his martial arts skills. His body was also burning with pain. Although the wounds were minor, they made him anxious and irritable. Whenever E'yan struck a ghost spider and it appeared, he would immediately whip it, shouting, "If you have the guts, stop sneaking around! Grandpa Xiao Sheng will tear you all to pieces!"

E'yan remained silent, focusing intently on following behind, her attacks unusually calm and ruthless.

Xiao Xuan suddenly realized something and turned to the girl, shouting, "Ah, I know! So you wanted me to be your target so you could lure them out to shoot!"

E'yan chuckled and said softly, "There's no other way. We have to get through here this way. My wooden phoenix could have been used as bait, but it was destroyed in an ambush."

"Oh, so you tricked me into being your bait!" Xiao Xuan blushed. "No wonder I said you're so capable, why do you need my help!"

"Brother Xuan, this is the middle of nowhere. If you don't help, no one else will." The girl said pitifully.

"What did I help you with? I'm just a meat shield! A big, stupid meat shield!" Xiao Xuan said angrily, but was suddenly hit on the back again. Now his clothes were torn and stained with blood, and he looked extremely disheveled. "

No, you're helping me. Without you holding the line, I couldn't get through here at all." E'yan quickly comforted him, and as she spoke, she blasted the ghost spider that had ambushed Xiao Xuan into a ball of fire.

Xiao Xuan thought about it and realized it made sense. His frustration subsided considerably, and he calmed down. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him: "These ghost spiders are adept at concealing their tracks, and the Formless Eye that my Martial Aunt Fei Luo taught me is an unparalleled detection method. I wonder if I can use it to deal with them?"

He perked up and immediately used the Formless Eye. He saw the figures of several ghost spiders faintly appearing to his side. Overjoyed, he let out a strange cry and pounced forward. His Eight-Clawed Flaming Dragon Whip spun rapidly from his arm, instantly turning several ghost spiders into wildly rolling fireballs.

E'yan was startled. She saw Xiao Xuan dart sideways, his whip striking empty air, instantly unleashing a burst of light and fire, striking out two invisible ghost spiders. She asked in confusion, "You...how could you..."

Xiao Xuan turned around imposingly, staring intently at her, pointing to her side and shouting, "Left rear, three!"

E'yan immediately attacked, wielding purple lightning and hurling it wildly in the direction he pointed. Purple flames exploded repeatedly, indeed blasting out three ghost spiders. She exclaimed in surprise, "You can see them?"

Xiao Xuan picked up the remains of the ghost spiders and put them away. He stuffed the spider into his magic pouch and said smugly, "My sect possesses countless supernatural powers. The invisibility of the demon spider is nothing but a trivial skill. How could it escape the discerning eyes of this little saint!"

E'yan stared at him blankly, then looked at him with newfound respect, exclaiming happily, "So brother has such amazing abilities! This will make crossing this place much easier!"

The two continued their charge. The speed and strength of the demon spider were only ordinary, no more powerful than the demon spiders and fire spiders they had encountered before. Once exposed, it posed no threat to them.

Xiao Xuan took the lead, displaying his divine power with his Eye of No Form, his speed many times faster than their previous cautious approach. Half an incense stick later, the two finally reached the summit of Ten Thousand Spider Ridge.

The summit was precipitous. Looking out, one could see rolling clouds and a vast bamboo forest below, occasionally dotted with lakes and river bends, like bright mirrors and pearl necklaces, magnificent and beautiful, refreshing the eyes and soothing the soul.

"So beautiful!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed.

"Yes, this is one of the most beautiful places in Giant Bamboo Valley," E'yan replied softly beside him.

Xiao Xuan suddenly noticed something towering above the bamboo forest in the distance. Looking as far as he could, he saw a magnificent building resembling a castle. He exclaimed in surprise, "What's that?"

After a long silence, he turned and saw E'yan also gazing at the same spot, her eyes red-rimmed. Startled, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

E'yan seemed to be holding back tears. After a moment, she suddenly threw herself onto Xiao Xuan's shoulder and burst into tears. Xiao

Xuan was greatly surprised and quickly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. What's wrong? Tell me and I'll help you."

"That's Giant Bamboo Castle, and it's also...it's also my...my home," the girl sobbed.

"Your home?" Xiao Xuan's mouth dropped open. "So you're from Giant Bamboo Valley. No wonder you're so familiar with it. But...why are you crying?"

"I...I can't go back...I can't go home," E'yan cried, tears streaming down her face, soaking her clothes.

"Can't go home?" Xiao Xuan racked his brains, and after a moment, he suddenly realized, "Ah, I know! You must have gotten into some trouble and are afraid of being punished by your parents, so you're afraid to go back."

"No!" E'yan stamped her feet and cried.

"Then what happened? Don't cry..." Seeing her crying like pear blossoms in the rain, Xiao Xuan felt a pang of heartache and blurted out, "Tell me quickly, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!"

E'yan looked up at him, her eyes blurred with tears, and sobbed, "Really?"

"Yes." Xiao Xuan replied immediately, and then felt a sudden jolt of fear.

"Do you know who the master of Giant Bamboo Valley is?" E'yan asked.

"I'm not quite sure. My uncle said it seems to be someone from the Seven Absolutes Realm," Xiao Xuan answered.

Eyan shook her head and said, "No, the masters of Giant Bamboo Valley have always been the Lingzhu Clan, which means my clansmen...

" She pointed to the buildings in the distance and continued, "This Giant Bamboo Fortress was built by our clansmen and has withstood thousands of years of wind and rain."

"No wonder it doesn't look like an ordinary city at all; it's more like a series of pavilions and towers." Xiao Xuan murmured.

"Because Giant Bamboo Valley produces Treasure Bottle Bamboo and has unique manufacturing techniques, it has always been coveted by outsiders. Until five years ago, the Seven Absolute Realms suddenly launched a large-scale sneak attack, almost wiping out my clansmen overnight and taking over this most beautiful place in the world."

Xiao Xuan stammered.

"At that time, I was learning from my master, so I was lucky enough to escape this calamity, but my... my grandfather, my parents, all... all..." At this point, Eyan broke down in tears again.

Xiao Xuan, enraged, said, "I've heard that the Seven Realms are rife with evil, and it's absolutely true! I'll go back and beg my master to help you get revenge!"

E'yan shook her head: "Your master won't agree."

"My master has always hated evil, how could he refuse?" Xiao Xuan asked curiously.

E'yan said, "In the eyes of your Xuan Sect disciples, we Spirit Bamboo Clan are all demons, how could you agree?"

Xiao Xuan paused, then thought it made sense, and resolutely said, "Even if my master refuses, I will definitely help you!"

E'yan stared intently at him.

Xiao Xuan felt a pang of guilt, his face burning, and said, "You think my skills are mediocre, and I'm alone, so I can't help, is that it?"

E'yan shook her head again, smiling through her tears, "I'm very... very happy that you have this intention."

Xiao Xuan suddenly exclaimed, "I've got it! Although the Seven Realms are numerous and powerful, I have several brothers and sisters, all of whom are demon kings and elites with countless soldiers under their command. If I go and ask them, they will definitely help!"

E'yan smiled and said, "No need."

Xiao Xuan was puzzled.

E'yan said, "Over the years, many people have agreed to help me. It's only a matter of time before we reclaim Giant Bamboo Valley."

"I see..." Xiao Xuan said, feeling a little disappointed. Then he thought, "Her master is a saint of the demon realm. If she just asks, everyone will respond. Why would she need my help?"

E'yan looked at him and suddenly said, "Brother Xuan, you've already helped me a lot by coming here with me."

"Huh?" Xiao Xuan was taken aback.

"Come with me." E'yan took his hand and turned to walk towards the center of the peak.

After turning several slopes of woodland, a magnificent, huge circular platform suddenly appeared before them.

The two walked onto the platform. Xiao Xuan noticed many talismanic patterns engraved on the surface and exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there a magic array here?"

"It's a protective barrier. Come with me," E'yan said, leading him to a spot where she stepped onto a part of the array and began to chant silently.

Xiao Xuan looked around when suddenly he heard a rumbling sound. He saw several square pits sinking into the edge of the round platform. Just as he was wondering what was going on, something suddenly sprang up from the pits. There were several in each pit, each nearly two zhang long, like hooks and claws. Then, seven or eight enormous creatures crawled out of the pits and surrounded him and E'yan.

"An ambush!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed in alarm, channeling his energy into his magic whip.

"Don't be nervous, they're just mechanisms guarding the entrance," E'yan smiled. "Take a closer look; these are the top-tier mechanical masterpieces you wanted to see—the Terror Feet."

Xiao Xuan stared intently and saw that these enormous creatures were indeed made of bamboo and wood, shaped like spiders, with tiger stripes all over their bodies, and long, hook-like, sharp limbs. They were several times larger than the mount of Chief Mao that he had seen earlier, making him tremble with fear. He lowered his voice and said, "These things seem to be going to attack us. Should we kill them?"

E'yan laughed, "You can't beat them. These eight Terror Feet are extremely powerful. Not only are they incredibly strong and swift, but their shells are also incredibly tough, impervious to swords and spears, and resistant to most spells. They are the most powerful mechanical guards in the valley."

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Xuan asked, his face pale.

"Have you seen enough?" E'yan asked.

Seeing the terrifying feet drawing ever closer, Xiao Xuan hurriedly said, "Enough, enough!"

E'yan reached to her waist and calmly drew a short knife from its small bamboo sheath, holding it high above her head while chanting incantations. The terrifying feet immediately stopped, then turned and obediently crawled back into the pit.

"How come they listen to you?" Xiao Xuan asked in surprise. E'yan

lowered her arm, waving the knife in her hand, and smiled, "They listen to this knife in my hand."

Xiao Xuan saw that the knife was entirely emerald green, seemingly carved from bamboo and wood. Apart from its vibrant luster, it was otherwise simple and unadorned. He asked in surprise, "What kind of treasure is this? How come those terrifying feet listen to it?"

"This knife is called the 'Wood-Untying Token,' also made from a spiritual branch from Tai Bi Mountain. Like the 'Wood-Binding Token' in Chief Steward Mao's hand, it is one of the three treasures of our Giant Bamboo Valley. Those terrifying feet were already bound by a restriction when they were imbued with spirit energy, forbidding them from attacking the person wielding this item," E'yan said.

Xiao Xuan asked, "Then... what's the third treasure?"

"I'll show you later." E'yan squatted down and inserted the Wood-Unraveling Token into a crack in the stone. A rumbling sound followed, and the place where they stood suddenly sank.

Before Xiao Xuan could understand, the descent stopped, and several doorways appeared in the surrounding well walls. E'yan pulled him into one of them.

"What exactly is this place?" Xiao Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"A place to put things," E'yan replied. After turning a few corners, a large stone door appeared before them.

E'yan stepped forward and inserted the Wood-Unraveling Token into a crack beside the door. Another rumbling sound followed, and the large stone door slowly rose.

Xiao Xuan seemed to understand, saying, "So this Wood-Unraveling Token is a key."

E'yan shook her head: "No, a key is just one of its functions; 'Wood-Unraveling' is the origin of its name."

"Wood-Unraveling? What is Wood-Unraveling?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"Wood-Unraveling means 'the wood of heaven and earth, which, upon encountering it, will dissolve.'" The two entered, and E'yan pulled him forward.

"The wood of heaven and earth, upon encountering it, will dissolve… Is it that powerful?" Xiao Xuan clicked his tongue, suddenly stunned. He found himself in a vast space, with rows upon rows of bamboo birds, bamboo beasts, and bamboo figures standing as far as the eye could see, numbering in the thousands, all silent and motionless, as if waiting for something.

"This…this place…" Xiao Xuan was so shocked he could barely speak.

"This place is called the Divine Craft Well, our clan's secret workshop and storehouse, storing the crystallization of the Spirit Bamboo Clan's blood, sweat, and wisdom over thousands of years," E'yan said slowly.

Xiao Xuan walked to several rows of bamboo figures, vaguely recognizing them as the spearmen he had encountered earlier.

Eyan said, "These are already finished products. As long as they are armored and imbued with spirit, they will become spearmen warriors."

"So many..." Xiao Xuan exclaimed in surprise, rushing to several huge spider-shaped vehicles and excitedly asking, "Could these be the Tiger Spider Chariots?"

Eyan nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Tiger Spider Chariot that our clan specially made for the Marquis of Fengtian. It is most suitable for use on the battlefield. Each one is extremely valuable, requiring a lot of materials and time to produce."

Xiao Xuan observed carefully, finding it more and more magical and exquisite. He was filled with admiration. Suddenly, he caught sight of a row of tall bamboo beasts not far away and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't those mantis craftsmen?" "

Those are also finished products, only lacking the final imbuing with spirit," Eyan said.

"They'll move after being imbued with spirit, right?" Xiao Xuan asked excitedly. "Do you know how to imbue them with spirit? With these magical craftsmen, we can gather enough Treasure Bottle Bamboo! Anyway, hardly anyone comes to Ten Thousand Spider Ridge, so we can steal some without being detected."

"We came here today to imbue them with spirit," E Yan paused and continued, "When our clan was suddenly attacked, we didn't have time to imbue these reserves with spirit in the rush. The high priest of our clan had no choice but to temporarily seal this place before escaping the valley, waiting to use it when we returned."

Xiao Xuan asked, "You want to use these mechanisms to help you reclaim Giant Bamboo Valley?"

E Yan nodded, "Although many people have agreed to help, the Seven Absolutes Realm is no small force. With these mechanisms, I'll be more confident."

"Then how do we imbue them with spirit?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"We need the source of wood spirit." E'yan reached to her waist and took out a small, emerald-green bamboo tube lamp from her pouch. "This is it, one of my clan's three treasures—the Wood-Activating Token."

Xiao Xuan, seeing that the bamboo tube lamp was unremarkable, asked curiously, "How do you use it to activate spirits?"

E'yan said, "As long as I recite the forbidden incantation, it will continuously generate spiritual power that resonates with wood. Then, according to a certain method, it will be attached to these mechanisms, and they will 'come alive,' just like those various mechanical guards we encountered before."

Xiao Xuan clapped his hands and said, "We should have done this a long time ago! Once these thousands of mechanical warriors 'come alive,' how can the Seven Realms withstand them!" "

Eyan sighed softly, "On the day of the attack, the Wood-Binding Token was stolen from the three treasures, while the Wood-Opening Token was destroyed, losing all its spiritual power. Fortunately, the remains were salvaged by warriors of my clan and, after several twists and turns, were delivered to me. Over the past five years, my master has invited many renowned weapon-forging masters and consumed countless precious materials to finally repair it. However..."

She paused, a resolute look appearing in her eyes, "The day the Wood-Opening Token is repaired will be the day my clan reclaims Giant Bamboo Valley!"

"Then let's get started!" Xiao Xuan said, rubbing his hands together. He thought that with so many mantis craftsmen, gathering two or three hundred Treasure Bottle Bamboo stalks wouldn't be a problem in a short time.

"Well, but this can't be rushed. The infusion process takes a long time. If we want to finish infusing them all, it will probably take ten days to half a month," E Yan said.

Xiao Xuan's heart sank, and his face turned ashen.

E Yan looked at him and said, "You're worried about the Treasure Bottle Bamboo, aren't you?"

Xiao Xuan said with a bitter face, "Zeyang City is becoming increasingly dangerous. I'm afraid we can't wait that long..."

"Come with me." E Yan pulled him along, but they turned into another hall. Xiao Xuan immediately cheered.

There were piles of Treasure Bottle Bamboo that had already been cut down, thousands upon thousands of them.

"I wasn't kidding you, was I?" E Yan said with a smile.

Xiao Xuan was extremely excited. He suddenly turned around, hugged her, and kissed her forehead hard.

Both of them were stunned and their faces turned red.

Xiao Xuan was utterly flustered, only then realizing that he wasn't currently on Xiaoyao Peak, and that Shui Ruo, Xiao Wan, and Zhai Xia weren't the ones who occasionally caused him such trouble.

After a long while, Xiao Xuan stammered, "I'm sorry, I didn't... I didn't mean to."

There's such a thing as intentional or unintentional in doing this? E Yan glared at him fiercely, her face a mixture of anger and delight, then looked away and said, "Go get the bamboo. You can leave now."

"What about you?" Xiao Xuan asked, staring blankly at her long eyelashes.

"I'm staying here to cultivate the spirit; I won't leave for ten days or half a month," E Yan said.

"Oh," Xiao Xuan mumbled, hurriedly going to get the treasure bottle bamboo. After half an hour, he finally put three hundred bamboo stalks into his Ruyi Pouch. Turning around, he saw E Yan still standing there, staring blankly at him.

"All done," Xiao Xuan said.

"Oh," this time it was E Yan's turn to only respond.

"Thank you so much," Xiao Xuan said gratefully.

"You're welcome," E Yan said.

Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If you need any help, just tell me. I'll be in Zeyang City for the next few days."

"Okay," E'yan nodded.

There was a moment of silence between them. Xiao Xuan awkwardly asked, "Then... I'm leaving?"

"Yes," the girl replied.

Xiao Xuan turned and walked away without a care in the world.

"Wait," E'yan suddenly called out.

Xiao Xuan quickly turned back, only then realizing the reluctance in his heart.

E'yan took out two talismans from her sleeve and handed them to him, saying, "Didn't you want the Void Talisman? I don't have many, so I can only give you two."

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly took them.

E'yan explained the incantation and dispelling of the Void Talisman, asking, "Did you remember?"

"I remembered," Xiao Xuan replied, grinning from ear to ear, forgetting even to thank her.

"Also, this is the method to dispel the Soul-Hooking Butterfly's curse, listen carefully..." E'yan recited the forbidden incantation once, then continued, "I've already told you, whether you're willing to forgive that He fellow is your business."

Xiao Xuan nodded, saying, "That guy is annoying, but not particularly evil."

E'yan seemed to hesitate for a moment, then took out three talismans from her bosom, suddenly placed them between her fingers and bit down hard.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Xuan was startled.

E'yan didn't answer, transferring her bleeding fingertip to the three talismans.

Although there wasn't much blood, Xiao Xuan was shocked and inexplicably moved.

E'yan raised her face, handed over the talismans, her cheeks flushed like peach blossoms and her eyes as still as water, saying, "These three, do you want them too?"

"What kind of talismans are these? They... they actually need to be stained with blood." Xiao Xuan quickly took them, seeing that the patterns on the talismans were silver, the background as white as snow, and once stained with blood, they were exceptionally vivid.

"It's a teleportation talisman. There are no forbidden spells. As long as the holder of the talisman applies it with their blood, they can instantly reach the person who applied the blood, no matter how far apart they are, even if they are thousands of miles away." The girl's voice grew softer and

softer until it was almost inaudible. The talisman emerged from the beautiful woman's bosom, still carrying a faint, intoxicating fragrance. Xiao Xuan's heart pounded, and he blurted out, "There's such a talisman? What's it called?"

"It's called... the Love-Longing Talisman, according to the book." E'yan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, her face flushed.

Xiao Xuan stared at her, his soul trembling.

E'yan was overcome with shyness and urged, "Aren't you in a hurry to get back to Zeyang? Let's go."

Xiao Xuan nodded, but his feet seemed glued to the ground.

"By the way, this kind of talisman is extremely rare, so don't use it carelessly." E'yan said.

"Then... when should I use it?" Xiao Xuan asked blankly.

E'yan gave him a shy, almost angry look, then suddenly lifted her toes and brought her mouth close to his ear.

"When you miss me."

Xiao Xuan's heart melted. He looked up and saw the beautiful woman gracefully disappear into the distance, her charming figure vanished in an instant.
