Once again, Xu Chen embraced Qingyin's soft and genuine touch on his arm, feeling a mixture of emotions. Perhaps for Qingyin, it had only been a few months since they last saw each other. But for Xu Chen, it felt like billions of years in the void of consciousness.

During those billions of years, he had constantly been thinking about her. "Qingyin, are you alright?" Xu Chen anxiously asked. Qingyin didn't lift her head, but she knew deep down who was hugging her. "Xu Chen, how were you able to come here?" It was clear that Qingyin was still a bit lost.

"Qingyin, it's a long story, but I just want to know if you're okay." Qingyin instantly showed excitement, but quickly revealed her worries and anxieties. "I'm fine, I was just too trusting of the Swallowing Grandmother, she captured me. However, she doesn't know about my hidden strength, the Four Heavenly Demoness Formation. So she thought she could release my soul from its sheath, but in reality, she was just torturing me without achieving her goal. But I was bound by her, and without you, I would have been trapped for thousands of years. Because she is a female demon, I let my guard down. Originally, with my strength and the Four Heavenly Demoness Formation, she couldn't harm me. But I am useless..."

"Don't say that." Xu Chen turned Qingyin around, looking at her slightly weary but even more beautiful face. "I know, Qingyin, you wanted to share the burden with me. You didn't want to put me in danger every time and come here alone. I understand your intentions."

Qingyin's gaze softened, but she still felt melancholic. "But I'm useless. I should have been stronger than her, but I lost to that female demon. I... I feel so ashamed. Xu Chen, I was arrogant and impulsive to come here to save Star Dance. Not only did I miss the opportunity, but I also let myself be controlled by others... I am truly a useless woman. Xu Chen, please don't be so forgiving towards me. Please don't forgive me..."

"Qingyin, the words you've said don't sound like an older sister at all! Always saying such reckless things! Although I want to forgive you, leaving your character unchecked would only harm yourself even more! So, as you said, I won't forgive you! But right now, I don't have time to deal with your recklessness. Tell me about Star Dance's situation!" Xu Chen asked.

Qingyin cautiously looked around, as if she had regained her senses. "Xu Chen, did you kill the Swallowing Grandmother?"

"Yes, so there's no threat here anymore."

Qingyin said, "I have gathered some information about Star Dance. She is currently in a very dangerous situation."

"What? I have also sensed Star Dance's location, but it's very far away. And when I tried to traverse there, it didn't seem possible."

"Traverse?" Qingyin looked puzzled.

"Qingyin, this isn't the place to talk. Let's leave here first!" With a thought, Xu Chen took Qingyin to the sky thousands of miles away.

"Ah? What's happening??" Qingyin, who was being embraced by Xu Chen, was amazed by the view from thousands of miles above.

Xu Chen waved his hand, summoning a flying ship, and carried Qingyin onto it.

"Qingyin, it's a long story..."

Xu Chen briefly explained his strange journey to Qingyin.

"What? Xu Chen, are you saying that you have obtained the power of the Source of the Heart? How powerful is it?" Qingyin leaned against Xu Chen's shoulder, asking.

"It's very powerful. Even I'm not sure myself. But I believe that the Ghost King shouldn't be my match."

"Really... Is it really that strong?" Qingyin felt physically weak after months of hardship. She knelt down on the deck, gazing up at Xu Chen.

But Xu Chen did not help her up.

"Sister Qingyin, you must be tired. Go take a bath and rest inside the flying boat first, then tell me about Star Dance's situation."

"Huh? But Star Dance is in great danger right now. I don't want to delay!"

"It won't delay anything. Just go."

"Okay." Qingyin got up disappointedly and went to take a bath and rest. Xu Chen, on the other hand, had already sensed Star Dance's whereabouts. With his mind, he drove the flying boat and teleported to the nearest possible location to Star Dance.

It was a vast wasteland, with a gloomy atmosphere and ghostly undead creatures emitting green light, occasionally wailing as they floated by.

"Hmm, from here, it will take three days to reach Star Dance. But there's no other way. Qingyin also needs rest. After she recovers her strength, she can almost match the Demon Emperor and be a strong ally!" Xu Chen looked into the distance, where an eerie and sinister aura continued to emanate, and thought to himself.

Star Dance was in that direction, so Xu Chen drove the flying boat forward.

Since it would take three days, Xu Chen had nothing to do, so he rested outside for a while before heading back into the flying boat.

When he reached the doorway, Xu Chen wondered if he should knock, but then he realized that Qingyin was already his woman. Why bother knocking? Sometimes, Xu Chen felt that he respected Qingyin too much, which might disappoint her.

Xu Chen simply pushed the door open.

"Huh?..."

As Xu Chen had anticipated, Qingyin was not in the room. Instead, there was a scene of seduction and beauty.

The four beauties of the Demon Realm were inside the room, changing clothes.

There were Sakiko, The Maiden of the Celestial Realm, Lianhua, Zi Wan... four women with completely different figures and different colored undergarments...

"Ah!!! Pervert!!!" Zi Wan immediately threw a pillow at him. The other mature women felt a bit shy but quickly realized that Xu Chen had no idea they were here and refrained from blaming him.

However, the pillow stopped in front of Xu Chen in mid-air and casually flew into a corner.

Xu Chen remained calm and politely turned his head, "I'm sorry I didn't know you were here. I'll come in after you've changed."

"Who gave you permission to come in?" Zi Wan complained.

Xu Chen didn't reply and closed the door.

By this time, Xu Chen's hair had returned to its natural black color. After all, white-haired Xu Chen was a color only seen when he was extremely angry.

After a few more hours, Xu Chen guessed that it was the time when those women were preparing themselves.

"Xu Chen..." Qingyin came out, facing Xu Chen on the deck.

Xu Chen turned around and Qingyin seemed to have regained her spirit. Her cheeks were slightly rosy, and she was wearing a dark green one-piece sleep dress, making her fair skin even more radiant.

"Sister Qingyin, you look better now."

"I wasn't that bad to begin with. I was just a bit mentally exhausted from being tormented by them. But you know, my body is very good. After taking a bath and resting for a while, activating my magic power, I've fully recovered. Now, my body is in its best condition..." Qingyin blushed and said.

"Oh?" Xu Chen glanced at Qingyin's body and casually asked.

Seeing that Xu Chen was not tempted by his suggestion, Qingyin felt a bit disappointed. She continued, "The Four Demon Queens are all in the room. Let's go in together and discuss."

"Sure." Xu Chen agreed.
