Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 24: Of course, it’s appropriate to pamper her a little bit.

Yun Luoxi stared at the small white flame in front of her, unsure how to respond for a moment.

“You’re not going to refuse it, are you?” Liu Wenwan chuckled and said, “It’s one thing to act tough in front of him, but don’t be stubborn with yourself!”

She understood why Yun Luoxi didn’t want to bow to Ling Xue, but it wouldn’t make sense to remain prideful now that he was gone. After all, it wouldn’t benefit her.

The flame that could help her break through the Heavenly Profound Realm was right in front of her. It would be foolish to let emotions get in the way.

Yun Luoxi exhaled softly and glanced in the direction of the cave’s entrance.

She then pursed her lips slightly, raised her slender hand, and gently took the white flame.

Liu Wenwan smiled again. “That’s better! Now, you can absorb it in peace—no one will disturb you anymore!”

Yun Luoxi nodded softly, then sat cross-legged.

Earlier, she had to refine the flame’s power little by little, but now that Ling Xue had condensed it, all she had to do was directly absorb it.

Ling Xue had truly saved her a lot of effort!

As Yun Luoxi closed her eyes and sat cross-legged, the small white flame entered her chest.

The absorption process didn’t take her long.

After just one or two hours, she had fully absorbed it.

As the White Nether Demon Flame merged with her, her power surged dramatically.

She ascended directly from the peak of the Earth Spirit Realm to the Heavenly Profound Realm!

And not just the beginning—the later stages!

The White Nether Demon Flame was indeed immensely powerful.

Now, she had found another path to exact her revenge.

It was through this Demon Flame!

Just a single sub-flame had allowed her to make such a breakthrough.

If she could gather all the remaining sub-flames, she would undoubtedly surpass Ling Xue as he was now.

Thus, from that moment on, she had a new goal!

She would seek out and devour all the White Nether Demon Flame sub-flames in the world.

While Yun Luoxi was breaking through to the Heavenly Profound Realm, far off on a mountain peak, Ling Xue’s lips curved into a faint smile.

No matter what, Yun Luoxi was his woman.  

So, pampering her a bit was only natural.  

If he could help her, he would.  

Moreover, she must stay alive—anyone else could die, but she must live.  

So, under any circumstances, he would protect Yun Luoxi’s safety!  

Forever!  

“Why is the Demon Lord smiling?”

Beside him, Yu Yaoyao noticed the smile on Ling Xue’s lips and asked curiously.

Ling Xue merely shook his head without explaining.

“Is the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique hidden in this ancient tomb? It doesn’t feel like the Demon Lord is searching for it; instead… it seems like he’s secretly following the saintess of the Lingxu Sect! Protecting her in the shadows?”

Yu Yaoyao voiced her thoughts aloud. “Along the way, Ling Xue didn’t seem to be searching for the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique at all!”

She continued, “It didn’t seem like that was his goal. Rather, he appeared to be simply following Yun Luoxi, never letting her leave his sensing range. It seemed… he liked that girl. After all, he had already said that Yun Luoxi was his woman!”

“As long as she’s here, the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique will naturally be here too!” Ling Xue said with a faint smile.

This answer left both Xiao Xiangyu and Yu Yaoyao puzzled.

Neither of them said anything further.

In any case, all they had to do was follow Ling Xue and see what his true purpose was!

The entire ancient tomb had been scoured by countless forces and experts.

The items left behind in the tomb weren’t particularly valuable, but those who entered still reaped some rewards.

Unfortunately, the one thing everyone wanted most—the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique—had not been found.

Lin Feng had indeed hidden the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique in the most concealed place.

And that most concealed place was the most obvious one.

However, no one could see it!

Coincidentally… Yun Luoxi had noticed.

This was due to her sharp intuition and keen observation skills.

Earlier, in one of the palaces, she had noticed an ancient painting carved into the dome of the ceiling.

After some searching, when she stood on a mountain peak, she suddenly realized that the structure of the entire tomb… seemed to match the layout of that painting.

When she shared this with Liu Wenwan, Liu Wenwan also realized it immediately.

The entire tomb’s structure… was a massive formation! The palaces, mountains, rivers, everything, together formed an ancient and colossal formation.

This ancient formation encompassed the entire tomb!

“We should have realized it sooner! This tomb itself is an even larger formation!”

On the mountain peak, Liu Wenwan was overjoyed. As she spoke, her figure began to rise into the air!

When she looked down upon the entire area again, she could naturally see it.

The layout was a natural formation!  And the activation point of this formation was… that palace.

The palace with the carved painting. That palace didn’t appear special, unlike the other grander palaces.

But, being “unspecial” was its very specialty!

It was just that everyone had overlooked this fact.

“It seems… the greatest treasure here is about to be found by us!” Liu Wenwan was overjoyed and nodded to Yun Luoxi. Yun Luoxi understood. Both of them flew swiftly toward the palace.

Yun Luoxi landed on the palace roof.

Liu Wenwan entered the palace and activated the formation!

As the formation activated, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Hum!!!

Suddenly, there was a hum from the heavens and the earth!

Then, in Yun Luoxi’s stunned gaze, the distant horizon began to tilt bit by bit!

It was as if the entire land was sinking to one side.

But, of course, it wasn’t sinking.

Instead… it was rotating!

The land and sky were rotating!

Everything… was inverting!
