Bai Miaoling pressed her forehead, her whole face a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What just happened?
She had been happily and confidently preparing to emerge from seclusion, but unexpectedly, before she even stepped out, someone had pushed her back by pressing on her forehead.
Looking at the door of the seclusion chamber closed tightly once again, Bai Miaoling felt very puzzled.
Could it be that she had developed a mental demon?
Was everything that had just happened merely an illusion caused by this mental demon?
But that didnât seem rightâthe sensation of being pushed was far too real to be a mere illusion.
If it wasnât an illusion, then who would be so mischievous?
To deliberately push her back just as she was about to emerge.
And press on her forehead?
Isnât that something only children do?
Who would be so bored as to behave like this?
All these questions left Bai Miaoling utterly perplexed.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she tried once again to walk outside.
However, what Bai Miaoling did not expect was that the result was exactly the same as before.
As soon as she reached the doorway, an invisible force pressed down on her forehead again and pushed her back inside.
This time, Bai Miaoling was sure beyond doubt that it was not an illusion but real.
Someone was truly so bored and daring as to prevent her from leaving seclusion in such a way.
Was this not just looking to make her uncomfortable?
Bai Miaoling was about to lose her temper when a familiar voice emerged clearly in her mind.
âWait here a moment.
I... I have a surprise for you.
You mustnât peek early, or it wonât be a surprise!â
Bai Miaoling was slightly stunned.
That was her husband Ye Yuâs voice.
He had even prepared a surprise outside? How thoughtful.
If that was the case, then waiting a little longer was no problem.
Bai Miaoling smiled happily and obediently stood in place, slowly closing her eyes and quietly wondering what the surprise could be.
What she did not know was,
Outside there was surprise, but no joy.
Ye Yu and Shangguan Jiujiu awkwardly stood outside the seclusion chamberâone looking down at the ground, the other staring up at the sky.
Less than fifty meters away,
Bai Xichu stood silently in place, neither speaking nor approaching.
An invisible oppressive aura began to build.
Ye Yu was dumbfounded.
A few minutes earlier, after instructing Shangguan Jiujiu, he had prepared to leave.
But unexpectedly, just as he was about to step away, he saw Bai Xichu standing there, though he had no idea when she had appeared.
This gave Ye Yu quite a headache.
And at that very moment, the door to the seclusion chamber was about to open.
What a perfect coincidenceâtoo perfect for coincidence.
Why now, of all times, was she emerging?
Ye Yu had a strong premonition: Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling absolutely could not meet too soon.
Otherwise, something serious would definitely happen.
Reacting swiftly, Ye Yu silently pushed Bai Miaoling back inside.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he set up a silence barrier at the door.
Only after completing this did Ye Yu affectionately greet Bai Xichu.
âAwake so soon? Why not wait in your room for me?
Come on, letâs go for a walk, shall we?â
Such a warm greeting received no reply.
Bai Xichu stood quietly, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
The more so, the more oppressive it felt.
Shangguan Jiujiu noticed Bai Xichuâs unusual expression and said, âWhatâs so good to see outside?
Why not come look at my collection of immortal robes?
Iâve recently bought quite a few fine ones that would definitely suit Sister Bai.â
But silence still reigned.
Bai Xichu didnât respond, just stared forward.
More precisely, she was staring past them, at Bai Miaolingâs seclusion chamber behind.
No one knew what she was thinking.
This left Ye Yu and Shangguan Jiujiu feeling very awkward.
If possible, they really wanted to pull Bai Xichu away right now.
But Bai Miaoling behind was still an uncertain factor.
So they were stuck blocking the doorway, uncertain whether to advance or retreat.
Time passedâno one knew how long.
Ye Yu realized things couldnât continue like this.
He quickly stepped beside Bai Xichu and softly said, âLetâs go back and talk about whatever you want.
Thereâs no need to do it here.â
Bai Xichu still didnât respond, not even glancing at Ye Yu.
This irritated him greatly.
After pondering, he lowered his voice again, âWhat exactly do you want to do?â
Finally, Bai Xichu responded.
But what greeted Ye Yu was a very slight snore.
At that moment, Ye Yu was utterly stunnedâhalf wanting to laugh, half wanting to cry.
He had originally thought Bai Xichu was here to cause trouble, but now it seemed she was sleepwalking.
How novel. Truly novel.
Before, in the Demon Realm, he had never noticed Bai Xichu behaving like this.
Wait, noâin the Demon Realm,
Bai Xichu had never actually slept.
But yesterday was differentâshe was too exhausted and had gone to bed early.
That must be why this symptom appearedâsleepwalking today.
Well, whatever the reason, the first priority was to get Bai Xichu away.
Then, during this gap, casually find a way to leave and distract Bai Miaoling for a while.
Keep the two queens from meetingâthat was the top priority!
In an instant, a perfect plan formed in Ye Yuâs mind.
To be honest, he usually didnât scheme like this.
But today, with things going this smoothly,
Ye Yuâs lips really wanted to curl upward.
Yet he understood the saying: âWhen the lion goes after the rabbit, it must go all out.â
So he quietly made a âshhâ gesture toward Shangguan Jiujiu behind him,
Then hoisted Bai Xichu up and prepared to leave.
But just then,
The top of the seclusion chamber suddenly burst open.
Bai Miaoling flew straight up on her cultivation power.
She had always been impatient by nature.
After hearing about the surprise, she became even more excited.
But after waiting a moment, the silence outside struck her as strange.
She called out twice, only to get no response from Ye Yu.
Immediately sensing something was wrong,
She forcefully broke through the seal and emerged.
What she never expected was to see Ye Yu carrying Bai Xichu, ready to escape.
This scene caused her aura to go into chaos and her face to turn pale.
âHusband, this is the surprise you promised?â
Her voice, amplified by her immortal energy, rang out loudly,
Directly awakening the sleepwalking Bai Xichu.
Bai Xichu looked around dazedly, then up at Bai Miaoling hovering in the sky.
Her whole aura changed instantly.
She jumped down from â NĐŸvĐ”lŃgÒ»t â (Only on NĐŸvĐ”lŃgÒ»t) Ye Yuâs shoulder,
And revealed a faint smile.
âYou talk about surprisesâI donât know what you mean.
But counting the time, itâs been over twenty thousand years since we last met.
I never expected you would still quarrel with me about everything as before, cousin!â
