In the jungle somewhere in the Illusory Demon Realm, a beautiful woman was fag off against a tiger.

  The woman was wearing a light blue robe. She had aremely beautiful and exquisite fad a curvaceous body; her big breasts and wide hips could hardly be cealed by her wide robe.

  Especially that ass, it 't be cealed by her robe.

  Anyone will reize who she is from her ass, much like how a certain woman could be identified just by her gsses.

  She was Gong Yuxian, and in front of her was a winged blue tiger. The tiger was dozens of meters high, its body surrounded by fshes of blue lightning.

  "Roaar!"

  The tiger crouched and, with a roar, pounced on her. At the same time, the blue lightning surrounding it shot tong Yuxian.

  Fag the attack, Gong Yuxian's expression remained calm as a giant icy blue lotus appeared around her, stopping the attacks.

  *Why is it always a lotus? I don't know.*

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The lightning was the first to strike the lotus. It trembled slightly, with a few snowfkes peeling off. Following the lightning, the tiger's massive body smmed into the lotus with a loud bang. However, the beast failed to break through the defense.

  "Roaar!"

  The tiger roared again, raising its sharp cws and smashing at the lotus, attag more fiercely. Along with its assault, lightning rained down as well, shaking the icy lotus.

  Gong Yuxian smiled lightly. This was the first time she fought after switg to the improved Frozen Cloud Arts, and she finally experienced how much the new arts had enhanced her strength.

  This beast was at the same level as her, at the 5th Level of the Emperor Profound Realm. Previously, her ice lotus wouldn't have sted more than a few attacks, but now, even after enduring so many strikes, it showed no sign of colpsing.

  She was very pleased with her strength and grateful to Yun Wuji, 'As expected, honey's genius is almost frightening.'

  After testing her defense, she decided to try her offense as well.

  "Frozen Cloud Domain!"

  Along with Gong Yuxian's graceful shout, the space suddenly transformed into a field of ice-blue color within thousands of meters around her. In this enormous ice-blue field, tless fkes of snow and frost silently fell, and the water element in the air densed into numerous crystals of ice.

  The world was covered with a yer of white snow, and an increasingly thick yer of ice began to slowly ehe body of the thunder-wiiger. Its movements grew sluggish, and even the lightning fshing around its body seemed to slowly freeze.

  This was the effect of freezing profound energy.

  The temperature dropped below zero in an instant, then tio fall sharply, and a thiing yer of ice began to coat all the objects beh her.

  tless ice spikes started to dense in the air before shooting toward the wiiger.

  The tiger roared and jumped nimbly to dodge them; however, although its movements were agile, the ice spikes were extremely fast. And because of its massive body, dozens of spikes still struck its body, peing its skin and flesh.

  "ROAAR!"

  The tiger roared, gring at Gong Yuxian with hatred as it charged at her; the pain had awakes savage nature.

  However, just as the tiger moved, many massive sharp ice spikes suddenly protruded from the earth beh it.

  Caught off guard, the tiger didn't have time to react, and its stomad chest were peed!

  A copious amount of blood fell to the ground, freezing immediately.

  Seizing this opportunity, the spikes in the air also fell like rain, pierg its body!

  The attacks were so sudden that the tiger didn't have a ce to resist at all.

  Finally, an icy spike shot from the ground, pierg through its arating the tiger's head.

  The tiger finally died. Because of the multiple icy spikes pierg it from the ground, it remaianding, its eyes wide open, staring at Gong Yuxian.

  Gong Yuxian took a light breath and stopped her domain. She nded elegantly on the ground, turned around to look at Yun Wuji and Muron Qianxue, and walked toward them.

  "How do you feel after the fight?" When she reached them, Muron Qianxue asked her.

  "I didn't expect to grow this strong," Yuxian said, looking at her hand. Normally, it would take so much effort to fight someo her level, and even if she mao defeat them, it was hard to prevent them from retreating. This was especially true for beasts; they were generally strohan profound practitioners, and usually, people would hunt them in teams.

  "Well, since you tried, let's tio look around," Yun Wuji said, not thinking much of it. Or rather, he couldn't uand how people like her felt at this moment because he had never experienced something simir.

  If he faced someo the same level as him, he would kill them with a sneeze.

  They waited fong Yuxian to store the tiger's body ie ring before they tinued expl the area.

  Yun Wuji had brought them to the Illusory Demon Realm to sightsee, but since Murong Qianxue and Gong Yuxian didn't like crowded pces, like cities, he chose to take them to enjoy nature instead.

  Along the way, they entered an unfortunate winged lightning tiger that provoked them. Yun Wuji wao kill it with a sp, but Gong Yuxian took the initiative to fight it to bee familiar with her strength.

  The per didn't know that it had screwed up when it provoked them and ended up getting literally screwed.

  "Didn't you notiething strange about this jungle?" Murong Qianxue asked as they flew.

  "Hmm," Gong Yuxian thought for a moment and replied, "Although this jungle doesn't look different from the ones in the Sky Profound ti, I feel like it is somewhat more 'alive.'"

  "Alive? It's probably because many demons and fairies are living here," Yun Wuji said.

  As they flew, he pointed beh them and said, "Look there."

  Gong Yuxian and Murong Qianxue followed his gaze and saw two pythons. These were not ordinary pythons; they were releasing the aura of the Earth Profound Realm from their bodies. The two mottled pythons floated in the s, staring at each other ily as a feeling of deep enmity spread through the rotting air.

  "What's se about them?" Murong Qianxue asked, not uanding what ecial about the two pythons.

  However, the se answered her.

  "What ya staring at!"

  "Staring at ya bein' a fool!

  "Why dont'cha try doin' it again!"

  "Yeah, I'm gonna do it again, what's it to ya?!"

  She saw both pythons talking like humans, and soon they began to fight!

  "How these two talk like humans?" Murong Qianxue asked, her eyes widening in surprise as she looked at Yun Wuji. "They are only at the Earth Profound Realm."

  Profous that had reached a high level of cultivation would possess suffitly high intelligend could mimic human nguage. However, they typically o be at least ier stages of the Sky Profound Realm, and they had to be long-lived, high-css profous.

  Yet, these two pythons, which were only at the initial stage of the Earth Profound Realm, could actually speak, and they even spoke with such fluency!

  "Are these pythons the demons you told us about earlier?" Gong Yuxian asked Yun Wuji, equally surprised.

  "Yes, these are demons," Yun Wuji nodded, tinuing to watch the pythons. He also found them iing to watch.

  The number of demons he had e into tact with during his st visit to the Illusory Demon Realm was very small.

  ting this time, he had been in the Illusory Demon Realm only twice.

  The st time he came here was because he had to pass through the Illusory Demon Realm to reach the Sky Profound ti.

  The two mottled pythons fought for a long while, and after they grew tired from their battling, they mutually parted. Then, with a fsh, the two pythons actually transformed into two young men dressed in spotted clothing!

  "..." Murong Qianxue looked at the two for a long time. Although Yun Wuji had told her about the demons, she was still astonished when she saw them.

  After the pytho, the group tio fly. Along the way, they entered many more demos and demon spirits.

  Demonic Spirits take the form of flowers, pnts, and trees, this was also the reason that made Gong Yuxiahis jungle was more 'alive.'

  Soon, they left the jungle and, flying for some time, they saw the bea the horizon.

  The beach stretched out in a golden expanse of soft sand, shimmering uhe bright sule waves pped rhythmically at the shore, leaving behind delicate foamy trails. The air was filled with the salty tang of the o, mingled with the st of suns and tropical flowers.

  "So this is the beach? It's so beautiful!" Murong Qianxue excimed as she looked at the sery in front of her.

  "Hmm, it is truly breathtaking," Gong Yuxian mumbled after gazing at the sery for a long time.

  "Pace Mistress, have you ever seen a beach before?" Murong Qianxue asked her.

  The Blue Wind Empire was located he ter of the ti, meaning most people living there never saw a bea their entire lives.

  *Just like in the real world, not everyone afford a vacation abroad.*

  "No, I rarely left the Blue Wind Empire. I cultivate the Froze Art and don't have many desires or is, so I hought of traveling around the ti," Gong Yuxian shook her head as she replied.

  This was the life experienost disciples of Frozen Cloud.

  Most of them had never left the Snion of Extreme Ice.

  "The universe is so vast and holds so many wondrous things," Gong Yuxian murmured, gazing at the sky. "pared to it, we are so small. Our lifespan is very short, and we ever witness all the world has to offer."

  In the face of the vastness of heaven ah, she felt so weak and insignifit.

  "The world is indeed immensely vast, but you're wrong. We explore it together and see all its wonders, even if it takes forever," Yun Wuji said, pulling her into his chest.

  She spent her life in the weakest try of a lower pne, her vision was limited by her enviro. Even if he told her about the higher realms, she couldn't fully imagihem.

  To her, someo the Divine in Realm was already like a god.

  "Forever? I'd rather die of old age in your arms than live forever," Gong Yuxian replied, ing her arms around his waist aing her head on his chest.

  She didn't know about the future, but at least for now she just wao spend her days with him.

  "..." Yun Wuji didn't know how to respond. He uood what she meant. feelings really st forever? love withstand the trials of time?

  Many people speak of eversting love, but how many truly stayed true to each other?

  He wasn't sure. As he pohis, he found that the idea of dying together of old age with loved ones didn't seem so bad.

  'Why did this shit suddenly bee deep?' Murong Qiahought she didn't like the atmosphere, she said as dragged them along, "Hey, let's stop with this depressing topid py instead!"
