"Xiao Fan? Why are you lying, fellow Daoist?" Su Muxue frowned slightly.
Xiao Fan's appearance had been memorized by everyone before entering the secret realm. Was there a need to disguise himself like this?
Moreover, if he really were Xiao Fan, why would he willingly reveal his identity? That was simply burying his head in the sand.
"Ahem, it seems I can't fool you, fellow Daoist."
Mo Tianxiao felt a bit awkward. He shouldn't have used Xiao Fan's name if he had known.
"Don't be nervous, fellow Daoist. We are not bad people."
"That's right, that's right! We only dressed up like this to disguise ourselves so that others wouldn't dare to rob us," Huang Xiaoyao immediately added innocently.
"Oh? You were robbed before?"
Hearing this, Su Muxue finally noticed their cultivation levels. One was at the seventh stage of the Soul Formation realm, which was decent, but the other was actually only at the Nascent Soul realm. This truly made her find it a bit unbelievable.
However, after noticing their cultivation levels, she relaxed. She figured the two were prodigies from some minor faction.
This Nascent Soul realm guy might even be a rogue cultivator who had somehow obtained a spot, hoping to find some fortuitous encounters in this Great Emperor's secret realm to defy the heavens and change his fate.
She always admired such cultivators who refused to yield to their fate. Furthermore, to enter this secret realm with only a Nascent Soul cultivation base, he must have already steeled himself with the resolve to die.
"That's right, big sister! You don't know, those guys were so bad. They said they would kill us if they ever met us again!"
Huang Xiaoyao said exaggeratedly. Although her face was covered, her facial expressions must have been very rich.
"Hurry up and eat your meat. Where do you get so many words?"
Mo Tianxiao sliced off a piece of roasted meat, pulled down Huang Xiaoyao's mask, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mmph..."
Huang Xiaoyao was a bit confused as to why Brother Tianxiao stopped her from continuing, but since her brother didn't let her speak, she wouldn't.
"Fortunately, a chivalrous expert passed by and saved us, otherwise we would have been robbed clean. Fellow Daoist Su, you wouldn't rob us, would you?"
Mo Tianxiao sliced off another piece of roasted meat and handed it to Su Muxue.
Seeing this, Su Muxue stepped forward, sat cross-legged on the ground, placed her longsword aside, and took the roasted meat Mo Tianxiao handed her.
"Naturally, I am not that kind of person."
Without the slightest guard, Su Muxue took a big bite of the roasted meat. She didn't seem to care much about her image, giving off a bold and unconstrained vibe.
"Tastes good. How may I address you two fellow Daoists?"
The taste of the roasted meat made Su Muxue's eyes light up slightly; this roasted meat was quite something.
"I am a rogue cultivator, Li Yu. This is a younger sister I met on the way, you can just call her Yaoyao."
After he finished speaking, Huang Xiaoyao silently glanced at Mo Tianxiao again, her gaze thoughtful. Is this also a well-intentioned disguise?
Brother is truly cautious; she needs to learn well from him.
"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Yaoyao, I've long looked forward to meeting you."
Su Muxue nodded and cupped her hands in one smooth motion.
"??"
Mo Tianxiao was a bit dumbfounded. Do you even know us to say you've long looked forward to meeting us? Is there a need to be so formal?
His gaze swept over Su Muxue, and he activated his Appraisal skill with a glance.
[Name: Su Muxue
Cultivation: Peak Soul Formation
Destiny Grade: Red
Profile: The adopted younger sister of Empress Yaoguang of the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. She has an extraordinary background, travels outside year-round, and is a chivalrous person.]
"Holy crap?"
He didn't expect this busty woman to have such a huge background. The Empress's younger sister?
Sure enough, none of the people who could enter this secret realm were simple figures.
A red destiny grade. If nothing unexpected happened, she would also be a mighty figure of a region in the future.
Fortunately, she wasn't a Child of Destiny, so she was within the range of people he could afford to provoke.
"If Fellow Daoist Su doesn't disdain our low cultivation, let's travel together from now on."
Mo Tianxiao liked chivalrous people the most.
"We are all fellow Daoists pursuing the Great Dao and eternal life. Where does disdain come into play?"
Su Muxue took a wine flask from her storage ring, tilted her head back to take a gulp, and then handed the flask to Mo Tianxiao.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we are all friends here. There's no need to dress up like this, right? We'll travel together for the rest of the journey. If anyone dares to rob you, I'll just cleave them with my sword."
Seeing Mo Tianxiao's face covered, she always felt it was a bit weird. However, she could understand it. After all, he only had a Nascent Soul cultivation base, so it was good to be a bit cautious.
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao looked at this heroic woman and felt a bit unbearable in his heart.
"So Fellow Daoist Su also drinks. Why not try my wine and see if it suits your taste."
Instead of taking the wine Su Muxue handed over, Mo Tianxiao took out a wine from his storage ring that his master had given him a long time ago, specifically instructing him to only drink one sip at a time.
"Oh?"
Seeing Mo Tianxiao take out a flask of wine, Su Muxue instantly became interested. Aside from practicing the sword and acting chivalrously, she loved a good sip of wine.
Uncovering the lid, a strong aroma overflowed, surprising Su Muxue. "What a fragrant scent!"
She carefully took a sip. The liquor swirled between her tongue and teeth as she savored its lingering charm.
A moment later, Su Muxue swallowed it, and a flush of red crept up her snow-white cheeks.
"Good wine!"
The taste of this wine was not the slightest bit inferior to the immortal nectar of her Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. It was rare in this world!
"I obtained this wine in a secret realm previously. How is it? It's got a kick, right?"
"It's got a kick!"
Su Muxue took several more gulps in a row, the crystal-clear liquid flowing down the corner of her mouth, completely oblivious to the admiration in Mo Tianxiao's eyes.
Even he didn't dare to drink this wine like that. This girl was truly fierce.
"Miss Su, how do you feel? Is your head a bit dizzy? Do you want to rest for a bit?"
Seeing that Su Muxue's entire fair face had already turned as red as an apple, he knew it was time to teach this chivalrous warrior a lesson.
"Not dizzy? I feel... pretty good, it's just... why are there two Fellow Daoist Lis? No, there are three..."
Thud!
Her speech gradually became slurred, and in the next second, Su Muxue fell backward, entering sleep mode.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Miss Su, even if you are a chivalrous person, you still need to be a bit more vigilant when traveling away from home."
Mo Tianxiao shook his head. "Xiaoyao, bring her spatial ring over."
"???" Huang Xiaoyao.
"Brother Tianxiao, are we... going to rob this big sister?"
Huang Xiaoyao's brain couldn't process it for a moment. How did their identities shift so quickly? Didn't they agree that wearing these clothes was to protect themselves?
How did they become the bad guys?
"Xiaoyao, what do you think of this big sister?" Mo Tianxiao asked.
"Hmm... this big sister doesn't look like a bad person. She even said she would protect us just now."
Huang Xiaoyao thought for a moment and gave her evaluation of Su Muxue.
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao spoke again:
"Well said. This big sister is a good person. And we are taking her spatial ring not to rob her, but to let her know that when traveling outside, she shouldn't trust others so easily."
"Brother is doing this for her own good. With this experience, when she meets true bad guys in the future, she won't be deceived again, right?"
Huang Xiaoyao's expression was a bit conflicted. "I guess that's right..."
For some reason, she still felt it was a bit weird.
"Alright, don't overthink it. You are still too young. You will understand in the future."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
