Under the dim lights of the night in Mocheng, Xu Chen and the demon ghost arrived at Tianle Lane. As for Xiaoyuan Ying, Xu Chen told the demon ghost to wait for her at the inn, but in reality, he wanted to find an opportunity to take her into the Silver Flower Lantern, just in case.

Tianle Lane is a large courtyard located at the end of the bustling riverside market. Inside, there is a garden, a main building, a rear building, and several side rooms, all connected by winding corridors adorned with orange lanterns.

At the entrance of the courtyard, there are two fat demon guards wearing beast skin around their waists, their eyes filled with malicious intent as they stared straight at Xu Chen. But they didn't say anything until Xu Chen and the others went farther away, when one of them grinned and said, "This merchandise is really beautiful!!"

"Oh my god! Yeah! Where did Qinggui find such a beautiful and innocent girl? She doesn't seem like someone who belongs in the demonic realm!"

However, Xu Chen didn't hear their discussion as he walked through the corridors and went straight to the rear building.

"Five hundred spirit stones, you must not break your promise!" Xu Chen said as he walked along the corridor.

"Don't worry! Don't worry!"

Qinggui led Xu Chen to the rear building, went up to the second floor, and entered a large room. There, a long scroll painting hung in front of the hall, depicting graceful celestial fairies dancing.

"These are all the same person in the painting!" Xu Chen looked at the scroll and couldn't help but sigh at the exquisite dance moves.

"You're right, these are the moves of the Tianlian Dance! You can practice here for now. I have to go down and deal with the preparations for the feast. I'll be busy downstairs!" Qinggui said, immediately leaving the room and casually locking it from the outside.

Xu Chen noticed this detail but didn't mind. He had Xiaoyuan Ying's Time Fire and his own will. Breaking through this door was nothing for him.

"These moves... they are beautiful and mysterious, but... but they're too feminine!" Xu Chen blushed as he looked at his own reflection in the room's mirror.

Suddenly, Xu Chen introspected, "What am I doing? I think I have the will and believe I am invincible in the Chaos Sea, but I haven't tested my strength. I just blindly followed Qinggui and made a hasty decision to become a dancer for those demons. Is this the right thing to do?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Xu Chen's mind. If he were strong enough, what if he directly robbed this Tianle Lane?

But soon, Xu Chen rejected this idea. First of all, he was an invincible powerhouse in the Chaos Sea, and a powerhouse had dignity. He had never engaged in robbery or theft, not even when he was weak. This was Xu Chen's principle. Unless he had no other choice but to save his sisters, he would never stoop to such lowly acts!

Furthermore, Xu Chen didn't know much about Mocheng. If there were stronger beings inside the city, wouldn't that pose a danger to his plans?

Hmph! What's life or death and honor or disgrace to me, Xu Chen? The comfort of my sisters is all that matters!

After making up his mind, Xu Chen began to imitate and learn the dance moves from the painting.

"No! No!" After doing one move, Xu Chen couldn't continue. "This is too disgusting! A man shouldn't be doing these moves!" Even if no one was watching, Xu Chen felt extremely ashamed. Suddenly, his eyes flickered. "No! There are things I should and shouldn't do! Even for spirit stones, I shouldn't do this! I'd rather leave this place and find another way to earn spirit stones!" Xu Chen said, and with a thought, he tried to break the lock using his will.

However, just at that moment, Xu Chen's will flew towards the door, but before it could touch the door, it rebounded back with an unimaginable force!

"What!!!" Xu Chen was shocked.

"Bang!" Xu Chen's own will rebounded and hit him in the chest.

"Ouch!" Xu Chen was knocked down by his own will, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

After knocking Xu Chen down, his will only slightly changed direction and flew towards the painting.

"Oh no!" Xu Chen was afraid his will would break the painting, and if Qinggui found out, he would be in big trouble. So he instinctively used all his strength to stop it!

However, after intertwining with his own will, a large amount of willpower broke free from Xu Chen's control and turned into a silver light, shooting towards the painting!

"No!!!"The silver light shone into the scroll, not destroying it as expected but stirring up layers of waves. These waves, amplified by the ancient chimes, directly reverberated in Xu Chen's heart!

"Dong, dong, dong..."

This chime made Xu Chen's mood become trance-like.

Only to see the scroll emanating a dazzling silver light... Each flying celestial maiden on the painting flew towards Xu Chen, and their illusionary images directly entered Xu Chen's body.

Xu Chen felt indescribably uncomfortable.

What, what is going on...

Suddenly, an incredible voice, as if piercing through the limits of time and space, came from an unknown, distant future or ancient beginning: "Arrogant fool, do you truly think you can challenge me... You, along with your twenty-three accomplice women, shall all accept my punishment, accept my punishment..."

"Who? Who are you?? Ahhhh!" Xu Chen suddenly felt dizzy, countless images of celestial maidens distorted and entangled around him. On that painting, however, fleeting figures flashed by, indiscernible to Xu Chen, but he felt familiar with each and every one of them. They were either suffering or standing on the edge of a crisis, and he recognized these figures so well!

"No... Sisters, no!! Who are you!!??? What punishment are you coming for me??!!! Don't bully my sisters!!!! Come for me!!!!!" Xu Chen screamed hoarsely.

"Hmph! Oh, coming for you, huh? Do you think you can bear it??? A thousand years! I'll give you a thousand years! In these thousand years, you shall share the majority of their punishment! Don't you dare die now!!!!"

"Ah... Ahhh..." Xu Chen felt like the rotation of heaven and earth would tear him apart, but he stubbornly persisted! For his sisters! He must endure!!!

Gradually, the surrounding light grew brighter until it turned into a blinding white. Xu Chen lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

It was unknown how long had passed when Xu Chen heard the sound of knocking on the door. He slowly regained consciousness.

"Xu Chen, can I come in now, little sister?" It was Qingui.

"I've told you, don't call me..."

Huh? Xu Chen realized his voice had become very soft, transitioning from sounding like a female voice to completely resembling a girl's voice.

Xu Chen sat up dazedly, feeling the sensations in his body were somehow different from before. He looked down.

"Huh? What is this..."

He discovered there were two slight protrusions on his chest. He reached out to touch them, "Huh???"

This touch, this shape, though not very distinct, but... it obviously...

"No, it can't be!" Xu Chen panicked and touched below his own body...

At that moment, Xu Chen felt as if the sky darkened and the earth turned black, as if the doomsday of the primordial chaos sea had arrived.

"No-!!!!!!"
