"Why? Are you going to glow directly? Are you...?" The Maiden of the Celestial Realm asked insistently.

"I... I don't know..." Devol spoke, "After all, it's just a low-level magical prop in some entertainment venue. Perhaps, Qingyin misunderstood Xu Chen's sincere love as submission. Isn't it true that love is about unconditional giving and obedience?"

"Well, that makes sense," Yule said.

"Annoying! Don't talk about me! What deep love... it has always been Xu Chen pursuing me. I... I just reluctantly accepted, okay?" Qingyin said shyly.

Xu Chen said, "Let's not dwell on these matters. It's best if Qingyin meets the requirements! Let's immediately go rescue Star Dance sister. For safety, let's all enter the Encounter Space, so that if there's an emergency, we can immediately fight alongside me!"

"Alright!"

So Xu Chen, with Qingyin, directly went to the Nianu Palace again.

This time, although Qingyin was scrutinized by the hostile demon guards, they didn't stop her, and let the servants take Xu Chen in to pay the fee.

"Young master, we have many fun projects here, such as..."

"I'm tired from the journey. Arrange a top-notch private room with good wine and fruits for me. I'll rest for a while. When I summon you, then you can introduce the games! Without my summoning, no one is allowed in!" Xu Chen interrupted the demon attendant.

Inside the room, Xu Chen said to Qingyin, "Qingyin, I'll investigate the whereabouts of Star Dance sister!"

"Xu Chen, can I come too?"

"This is that kind of place. If you go out like this, it will easily attract unnecessary trouble. It's better to wait here. If they bring wine, just have a little."

"Oh, then be careful!"

Xu Chen left the room and headed to the top floor because he already felt the very weak fluctuations of Star Dance sister's presence here.

Clearly, someone used some means to block Star Dance's soul fluctuations, but Xu Chen's perception was wide enough. Perhaps he couldn't sense it from far away, but if they were in the same palace, he could still feel it to some extent.

On the way, Xu Chen saw many wealthy and powerful people holding, leading, or even riding beautiful slave women. Xu Chen walking alone had become an exception.

Those slave women were all demon lords or above in strength. Even if they were ridden by enormous demon beasts weighing hundreds or thousands of pounds, they could still crawl, but it was very humiliating. After all, they could cultivate to become demon lords because they were the pride of heaven's children. Who would have thought they would end up in such a miserable state?

Xu Chen saw a handsome male steward carrying wine, so he turned into a corner of the corridor and used his Heart Source ability to dress himself as a steward, also carrying a tray of wine. Then he strutted along.

Xu Chen continued up to the top floor.

"Stop! Where are you delivering to?" Two strong demon guards blocked his path.

"Upstairs, to deliver wine to the new lady," Xu Chen said.

"Upstairs? Which upstairs?" the demons asked suspiciously.

"Who are you? I haven't seen you before. Who is locked up here, and how do you know?" another demon guard became alert and drew his weapon!

"Annoying!" Two white blade edges appeared behind the two demons out of thin air.

"Thud! Thud!" Without knowing anything, the two demons were directly assassinated by Xu Chen!

Xu Chen changed back into his original attire and walked straight to the end of the corridor on the top floor, pushing open the door.

It was a very luxurious and spacious room, located at the top of the entire Dreamfall City, offering a panoramic view of the entire entertainment city.

A white-clad woman sat alone by the window.

"Star Dance sister!"

The woman in white turned her head and saw Xu Chen. There was a touch of emotion in her eyes, but quickly became lifeless. "Xu Chen...how did you come here..."

"What? How did I come here? Of course, I came to save you!" Xu Chen said.

"Save me...?"

"Yes! Sister Star Dance! Let's go together! I am capable of protecting you now."

A happy smile appeared in Star Dance's eyes, but soon it turned into disappointment, even a bit cold. "No, Xu Chen, I can't go with you..."

"Huh? What? Why? What are you saying, Sister Star Dance? Why can't you go with me?" Xu Chen was somewhat incredulous. After all the trouble he went through to find her, Sister Star Dance would actually say this. What exactly happened?

"You...should have already heard," Star Dance lowered her head. "I am going to marry the son of Lord Meng Yan."

"But they must have forced you! Now that I'm here, we can escape together! What's the problem..."

Star Dance turned her head, looking into the distance, her voice filled with inexplicable sadness. "No, no one has ever forced me. I'm doing it willingly."

"What!!?????" Xu Chen couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Star Dance's profile. He couldn't see through her thoughts hidden beneath her shiny long hair and her fair complexion. But no matter what, Xu Chen couldn't believe that Sister Star Dance would willingly marry the son of Lord Meng Yan!

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!!!!!"
