Qian Qin didnât answer Feltia [2] because she herself didnât know the reason, and she thought it was because their souls had already merged together. Her eyes widened, and her body trembled as soon as Feng Yao came out of his body. âHow? How did Empress Huo get out of his body?â
"Fortunately, you werenât in a rush to eat this princess; otherwise, Qian Yan would have locked onto your presence." Feng Yao rubbed the black mark on Qian Qinâs hip. "This symbol is directly connected to his middle eye, so you wonât be able to do anything to remove it. If you want to remove it, youâll have to defeat her father and force him to do so."
Feltia [2] tilted his head. "Even you canât get rid of it?"
"No." Feng Yao shook her head. "Qian Yanâs black mark is different from your demon marks or anything else, and heâs the only person who can remove it, so you have to be patient if you want to have this princess."
Feltia [2] frowned. "How could Qian Yan hide information about his black mark? Iâve already duplicated her soul and merged it with mine, but I didnât get any information about it."
"Let me show you." Feng Yao pressed her palm against Qian Qinâs chest and pulled out her soul from her body. "See?"
Feltia [2] was shocked to see Qian Qinâs two souls. "How can she have two souls?"
Qian Qin herself was shocked to see her two souls, and she never realized that her father had done such a thing to her, which made her hate him even more.
"The left one is her original soul, and it holds her true memories, but you canât pull it out because Qian Yan has already done something to her. The right one is her fake soul that her father created using a special technique, and it holds her tampered memories." Feng Yao turned to him. "You canât pull out her original soul because her father planted something inside it, and he did that to prevent soul cultivators from discovering his true plans. Every time she falls asleep, her memories that are stored in her fake soul will transfer to her original soul, and she will forget many things after she wakes up."
"Then, Iâ"
"Donât even think about duplicating her original soul." Feng Yao returned Qian Qinâs two souls to her body. "If you duplicate her original soul and merge it with yours, Qian Yanâs abilities will also affect your soul, and you wonât be able to do anything to break free from it."
"Does that mean the black mark is part of his middle eyeâs ability?"
"This black mark is directly related to Qian Yanâs middle eye. Mo Shentian doesnât dare to fight him not only because of his connection to the four perils but also because he is aware of the terrifying abilities of his eye." Feng Yao looked at Qian Qin with pity. "After all, her father is a demon beast god, and his mind is no different from that of other beasts. This little princess and her other sisters are his daughters, but they are also his breeding tools, and he will claim them when he needs other descendants."
"Phew," Feltia [2] exhaled softly and sucked their clothes into his hands. He handed Qian Qinâs dress to her, and he began to get dressed. "Get dressed now, Princess."
Qian Qin simply nodded and hurriedly got dressed; she repeatedly stole glances at Feng Yao, who wasnât concerned about Feltia [2]âs naked body. âHas their relationship gone that far? How can he win her heart to take her as his wife?â
Feng Yao glanced at Qian Qin, but she didnât say anything else and returned to Feltia [2]âs body.
After they finished dressing, Feltia [2] rubbed Qian Qinâs cheek. "I donât want to do this, but I have to erase your memories; otherwise, your father will find out about me. When I reach your fatherâs level, I will fight him and defeat him, and I will restore your memories then."
"Sigh." Qian Qin nodded at him. "My brother must be busy looking for me now, so you should do it now, and I will return to his side."
"Alright." Feltia [2] kissed Qian Qinâs lips, and he immediately used his memory manipulation ability on her, erasing some of her memories about him and Feng Yao. After he cleaned up the remains of their intimate activity, he left her where she was and returned to the forest.
Not long after Feltia [2] left, Qian Qin came back to her senses and looked around in confusion. "How did I get here? I clearly remember that my brother and I gave up the challenge in the tower, and we were sent out at the same time, so I should be by his side."
Qian Qin immediately contacted her brother, and Qian Yu landed in front of her a few minutes later. "What happened to you? How did you get here? Iâve been trying to find you, but I couldnât sense your aura before."
"I donât know how I got here, brother."
"Hmm? Share everything you remember with me." Qian Qin immediately did so, but Qian Yu didnât find anything unusual in her sisterâs memories because Feltia [2] had tampered with everything. He immediately took out his flying artifact and brought his sister aboard it. "We have to return to our domain now, and our father will check your memories."
Qian Qin didnât say anything and the two immediately left the Glazed Heaven Domain to return to their own domain, which required two weeks of travel.

On the second floor of the tower, Zhang Feiâs entire entourage had already begun their first challenge. Feng Yao, Su Shentian, Jian Kuang, and Zhuxian Sheng did not join them, but instead, they were protecting them.
Long Wuzhao, Long Xukong, and Tianshi Bailong stood guard at the entrance to prevent the demons from ascending to the second floor.
"Your daughter is making rapid progress, Brother Bailong." Long Xukong looked at Tianshi Shengjie, who was resting with the other three women. "Sheâs already completed the eighth challenge, and sheâll be taking on the ninth soon."
Tianshi Bailong nodded slightly. "I didnât expect her to make it to that stage, and I hope she can successfully complete the remaining two challenges to go to the third floor."
"Haha," Long Wu Zhao patted his brotherâs shoulder. "Little Sheng Jie will definitely make it to the third floor, and she might be able to help Zhang Fei open that gate. However, I donât know if that kid will dare to go to the Zhanlu Domain with his current strength, especially since those shadow creatures have already taken over many places in the Ancient Realm."
"Are we going to follow that kid if he goes to that domain?"
Long Wuzhao shook his head slightly. "I havenât thought about that, and we have to wait for him to go up to the third floor first. If he is determined to go to that domain, I might follow him there."
"If you go to that domain, the avatars of the two primordial beasts will notice your presence there." Long Wuzhao and the two dragons looked at Feng Yao. "If that happens, they will immediately attack you, and you will die in their hands. If you die, the situation in this Paradise Realm will change greatly, and those demon gods will no longer hold back."
"Are you going to let them run rampant and wreak havoc on all the domains?" Long Wuzhao asked Feng Yao.
"Donât you already know the answer?" Long Wuzhao couldnât help but sigh. "As long as they donât attack my domain and the Twin Flames Domain, I wonât bother with them because it would just be a waste of my time."
"You are truly heartless!" Long Xukong shouted.
"So what?" Feng Yao shrugged. "As I said before, they are cultivators, and many of them are strong enough to fight those demons, so they must be responsible for their lives and the lives of the people in their domain. If you are so eager to protect them, I wonât stop you from doing so, but I wonât waste my time on them."
The muscles on Long Xukongâs face bulged out, but Long Wuzhao hurriedly calmed him down and forbade him from attacking Feng Yao, as he was no match for her.
"Youâre as heartless as ever, Empress Huo." Feng Yao and the others looked at Dugu Yuanshen. "You donât care about other cultivators, but you do care about Zhang Fei, right?"
Feng Yao smiled. "It seems you already know quite a bit about him, little boy."
Li Guangyu and the others on the second floor were flabbergasted by Feng Yaoâs statement, but Dugu Yuanshen reacted differently, responding with a relaxed smile. "Youâre right, Empress Huo. I already know a few things about him, and I canât wait for him to complete the last two challenges so we can go up to the third floor together."
"Hehe," Feng Yao chuckled. "Does that mean youâve decided to side with him, little boy?"
"Empress Huo, you should remember that I never side with any party, right?" Dugu Yuanshen looked at Zhang Fei. "He is different from the other cultivators, including me, and I am curious about his talents. I will not side with him, and I only wish to observe him from the sidelines."
Feng Yao nodded in understanding. "You may not have decided on your relationship with him yet, but Iâm sure youâll side with him eventually."
"I wonât say anything for now, and Iâll wait for him to go up to the third floor first."
"Donât worry, he will definitely go to the third floor."
