There were tiny sounds in the darkness that kept ringing in her ears. No matter whether Shen Li covered her ears or closed her five senses, the sound was like an omnipresent monster, slowly biting her reason in her mind.

"Shut up." Shen Li couldn't help but scold, "Shut up!"

"Kill..." Just this one word, sometimes high and sharp, sometimes low and vicious, slowly turned into blood in front of her eyes, dancing out her fighting the enemy on the battlefield. The hot flames in her chest burned, Shen Li's eyes were hot, and red light flashed, but suddenly a chill surged from her heart and flowed through her limbs. Like a warm palm in the sun gently stroking her head: "Kukuda, why are you so irritable? She had restrained her temper too much in that small courtyard...

"Shen Li."

A call made Shen Li wake up suddenly. When she opened her eyes, in the dark background, Xingzhi's white clothes became more eye-catching. She stared at him in a daze for a moment, then immediately came back to her senses, looked around, and frowned: "Are we in Xutianyuan?"

Xingzhi smiled: "Your Highness is smart."

"You...Why is the God still here? The seal..."

"The seal has been reshaped, but it was restrained by the magic of several monsters." Xingzhi said bluntly, "It took a lot of effort to reshape the seal these days, and they took advantage of it when I was not paying attention. The miasma has been pervasive in Xutianyuan for many years, and I can't get rid of their magic for a while, so I just wandered around here."

Being trapped by monsters in such a miasma-filled place where the sun can't be seen, for him it's just a change of place to walk... Shen Li originally wanted to ask him if he was injured, but after hearing this, he felt that any worry he had was unnecessary.

Xingzhi smiled and looked at Shen Li, "Your Majesty, are you also interested in taking a walk in the Xutianyuan?"

Shen Li held her forehead with her hand, "No, I'm not interested. It's just..." She paused, "It's just that I happened to be patrolling here with the soldiers. I walked a little closer and was dragged in by a strange force here."

"Hmm." Xingzhi held his chin with his hand and pondered for a moment, "Is it possible to drag you in? These monsters are getting more and more interesting."

What kind of fun is this!

Shen Li was silent for a moment, and looked Xingzhi up and down, "Does the God have a way to get out of this now? To be honest with the God, I will go back to the court with General Shangbei tomorrow. If he can't find me in the morning, he will definitely think that I am..." She sighed in her heart, "I thought I ran away from marriage. There will be a panic at that time."

"We can't get out now." Xingzhi turned his head and walked forward slowly. In the pitch-black world, not to mention east, west, south, and north, even the sky and the earth could not be distinguished. But Xingzhi's footsteps were steady, as if the place he walked on was solid land. Unconsciously, he gave Shen Li a direction. Shen Li really followed his footsteps and walked forward, a little anxiously said: "Lord God, I'm really not kidding you. We don't know how much time we will have in this abyss. Maybe when we get out, General Shangbei can't wait to return to the court. He will report to the Immortal Realm Lord that I have run away from the marriage, and I will be severely punished again."

Shen Li would accept being punished if he really did this, but being punished so inexplicably was indeed a bit unfair.

Xingzhi turned around and looked at Shen Li seriously: "Do I look like I'm lying?"

Shen Li also said seriously: "When the Lord God lies, he never looks like he's lying."

Xingzhi's face became more serious: "I really can't get out this time."

"Is it fun to tease people?"

"It's fun." Seeing the veins on Shen Li's forehead jump, Xingzhi finally couldn't help but smile softly, and asked, "Why do you always think I'm lying to you?"

"Aren't you always lying to me!" Shen Li accused harshly, "You can't find the way and need someone to lead you. The water avoidance spell will become ineffective if you let go. What about the guardian? Everything is a lie, isn't it?" Xingzhi blinked: "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be the case." He smiled lightly, "But isn't this all to clear the miasma in your body? How can the little prince be so ungrateful?"

Shen Li took a deep breath, suppressed the evil fire in her heart, and said calmly: "Thank you, Lord Xingzhi, for saving me, so let's go out."

Xingzhi sighed, and finally couldn't resist Shen Li, so he stretched out his hand to roll up his wide sleeves. Shen Li took a closer look and found that Xingzhi's arm was bitten by something and left a row of bloody marks. The black miasma jumped out of the wound, which looked extremely terrifying. Shen Li took a breath and looked up at Xingzhi. He put down his sleeves and shook his head helplessly: "Look, I didn't want to take it out to scare you."

"This is..."

"When I was dealing with the fire seal, I was accidentally injured by monsters. They wanted to disturb my pure power in an attempt to weaken the power of the seal."

Xingyun said, "But they don't know that now that the seal is complete, even if I die here, the seal will not disappear. Unless another thousand years pass."

Shen Li was slightly startled and listened to his explanation: "Xu Tianyuan is a single seal, but such a large seal, even divine power is not enough to support it for long, so I followed the power of nature and took the five elements to form a double seal. In the double seal, I took the fire seal and placed it in Xu Tianyuan, so that the two seals merged with each other.

On the one hand, it makes it impossible for those who want to break the seal to break the seal instantly, whether from the outside or from the inside, to win reaction time for those who guard the seal. On the other hand, it makes the single seal rely on the mountains, rivers and land to absorb the power of nature to be more stable and long-lasting. However, the power of nature is not inexhaustible.

Thousands of years have exhausted the spiritual energy here. Therefore, I came here to bless the spiritual energy here to make the power of the seal stronger." "After the seal was reshaped, this place is supported by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, following the way of nature, locking away all the miasma." Xingyun shook his arm,

"So, before the wound heals, I can't go out. As for you..." Xingzhi said, "I have already removed the miasma in your body, but this Xutianyuan is full of miasma, and the bodies of Immortal Realms have no purification ability. It is easy to be attached to the miasma.

Although it has no effect on you, the seal will not let you go out. If I am not injured, I can still help you get rid of the miasma and take you out. As for the current " Anyway, I have to wait until his hand is healed before I can leave... Shen Li frowned, "When will this injury heal?"

Xingzhi said lightly, "Soon, just walk around and it will be fine." After that, he seemed to think of something and stared at Shen Li with a smile, "Don't be afraid, if it's too late, I will go to the capital with you and explain it to the Immortal Realm Lord.

I will definitely not let him punish you unjustly." He raised his hand, as if he was going to pat Shen Li's head, but when he turned around, he just patted Shen Li on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly.

Shen Li stared at him in a daze as he pulled his hand away. He wanted to hold back, but he couldn't hold back the words in his heart after all. He asked his back, "Will God... let his consciousness turn into a human when he sleeps one day and live a lifetime in the Mortal Realm?"

Xingzhi did not stop and walked leisurely in front: "Maybe." Noticing that Shen Li did not catch up, Xingzhi turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"

Shen Li stared at him straight, and suddenly smiled, three parts sarcasm and seven parts self-mockery: "It's okay, it's just that the God... sometimes reminds me of old friends."

"Really." Xingzhi continued to walk forward leisurely, "People who are similar to me are really rare."

"Isn't it."

There was silence in the darkness for a long time, and the white figure in front walked forward, as if it would never stop: "Lord BiCang." He suddenly said, "Being too obsessed with people and things is never a good thing."

Shen Li lowered her eyes: "Shen Li, thank you God for your guidance."

Shen Li lagged behind Xingzhi, but found that in this darkness, there was no scenery at all to divert her attention away from Xingzhi. Whether it was the arc of the swaying sleeves or the way the hair swayed with the footsteps, they became the only things that could be noticed.

"But I heard that the prince had run away from marriage before." Xingzhi suddenly asked, "Can you tell me why you don't want to accept this marriage?"

When mentioning this topic, Shen Li frowned immediately and snorted coldly: "The red apricot tree is almost plucked bare by people outside the wall. May I ask if the God wants it? Moreover, as the 33rd grandson of the Heavenly Lord, a man has lived for a thousand years. First, he has never made any military achievements, and second, he has not participated in political affairs. He has only learned some skills to abuse girls! If this person is Shen Li's descendant, he must be chopped off to eliminate this harm for the Immortal Realm world!"

Hearing her righteous words, Xingzhi couldn't help but smile: "Furongis not that bad after all. He is not only good at abusing girls..." Before Xingzhi finished speaking, Shen Li ignited even greater anger: "No matter who he is, I don't know him, how can I talk about marriage! If it weren't for the God's random matchmaking, how could this king end up in that situation! This king hasn't asked you why you pointed out such a marriage for me!"

"Because..." Xingzhi looked up, not knowing where to look, "We seem to be a good match."

"Ah...ha...sneezed!" In the Heavenly Palace, Furongjun, who was taking a bath in a bathtub sprinkled with flower petals, sneezed for no reason. The servant beside him immediately handed him a face towel and said, "My lord, do you think the water is cold?"

Furongwaved his hand and said, "Go get me something to eat." The servant beside him responded, and just as he walked to the door, the wooden door was slammed open with great force. Another servant stumbled in from outside in panic: "My lord! My lord!"

Furongquickly scolded, "Stop! You are covered in dirt! Don't dirty my holy bathing place!"

The servant had no choice but to stand outside the screen and bowed, saying: "My Lord, someone from the Immortal Realm Realm just reported that the monster that escaped from the Xutian Abyss has been killed by the Lord BiCang! My Lord, you may not know, but I heard that the Lord BiCang, with bloodshot eyes, stabbed a monster as huge as the one in the Heavenly Palace to death with one shot! And then he ate the monster's flesh alive! He was covered in blood!"

Lord Furong was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly pulled the clothes by the pool to wrap his body, ran barefoot to the outside of the screen, pulled the servant's clothes, and said in a trembling voice: "Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Accurate... get ready! Don't prepare for me! I want to meet the Heavenly Lord!"

It is said that Lord Furong howled in front of the Heavenly Lord's bedroom for most of the day, "Grandson doesn't want to die!" In the end, he was dragged back from the Heavenly Palace by the Heavenly Lord's servants.

That night, Furong suddenly struggled to get up from the bed: "No!" He said, "I have to go to the Immortal Realm world to see it with my own eyes. At the very least... at the very least, I can't die tragically in the bridal chamber on my wedding day!"
