Chapter 366: The Yin Gui Sect is yours, aiding Zhuge Ruolan

Another three days.

Inside the formation, Zhuge Ruolan was about to go mad; Chen Chuyang still hadn't let her out, she kept begging that person to let her out, but it seemed he didn't hear, and he simply made her stay inside for another three days.

What does three days mean? In cultivation, it passes in the snap of a finger.

But inside the formation, it's different—those are three days that could cost your life.

In three days, Zhuge Ruolan nearly lost half her life; it's true… the kind where you want to die, the body is fine, it's just a mental breakdown, too severe—if she stayed longer, she felt she would go insane.

"Chen Chuyang, hurry up and let me out—I'm going to die."

"Damn it, have you even heard me speaking? I want to get out."

"If I die, no one will bring you treasures anymore."

"If I die, you will lack resources."

Zhuge Ruolan could only give in; there was no way—this place was too tormenting, she had never been tormented like this before, even when she was mixing in the lower levels of the Yin Gui Sect, it hadn't been this miserable these past days; there was no hope in sight, just waiting for death, and such days are the most terrifying.

Chen Chuyang on the mountain heard these words, smiling and nodding: "This woman is not bad; she can hold out for so many days—I thought she could see some clues and break my formation, but it seems I overestimated her."

I also overestimated the formations of this world.

In this sealed world, many things are low-level; Chen Chuyang knows he cannot be arrogant and complacent, nor can he look down on these formations—the formation knowledge of those from Tianwai is surely far higher than here; his formations are merely elementary, not worth mentioning.

"Brother Chuyang, she's crying for help—if you don't let her out and she dies, that would be a huge loss."

"As a money-bringing child, she naturally needs to be well protected; we can't let her die."

"To die like this would be too wasteful; at the very least we need to earn enough resources so they aren't lacking, then she can die."

Chen Chuyang turned in surprise—he didn't expect this little girl to be even more ruthless and exploitative than him.

"Not becoming a corrupt merchant would really be a loss."

"Don't rush; let her slowly experience a few more days."

Shang Hongxue gave a thumbs-up: "Brother Chuyang, you're truly ruthless."

"Being an enemy of Brother Chuyang is truly miserable."

"Being a friend or companion of Brother Chuyang requires even more caution; otherwise, it will also be very miserable."

Another three days.

Zhuge Ruolan really was about to go mad.

She had tried to break through the formation, but no matter what, she couldn't.

She could only anxiously wait, and finally gave up.

Such is life's despair.

That day, Chen Chuyang finally let her out; Zhuge Ruolan had no strength left, she lay on the ground, relaxed for half an hour before recovering—those who didn't know might think something unspeakable had been done to her; Shang Hongxue looked at Zhuge Ruolan lying on the ground and saw none of the refined bearing she had when they first met.

She resembled a beggar, hair disheveled, exuding a decadent despair and deep resentment.

She was like a deep‑resentment lady locked in the cold palace for thirty years; that gaze seemed to want to devour Chen Chuyang.

Seeing her like this, Shang Hongxue couldn't help but pity her.

"Cough cough cough, how do you feel? My formations aren't bad, right?"

"……" Zhuge Ruolan merely stared at Chen Chuyang with her eyes, saying nothing, continuing to stare.

As if trying to swallow Chen Chuyang whole.

Chen Chuyang ignored her gaze and laughed: "These formations still aren't powerful enough; compared to real formations they're far off—well, I still need to keep upgrading."

The formation is not yet invincible; I still need to work hard.

Zhuge Ruolan felt like vomiting blood—this person is too shameless; these formations are the most complex and mysterious she has ever seen, utterly impossible to…… solve, incomprehensible, bearing no trace of the formations she knows.

My heart is so tired.

"Tell me how you feel; don't stay silent—I still want you to give some suggestions."

Zhuge Ruolan gave Chen Chuyang a deep glance, gritted her teeth and said: "If I could, I'd really like to beat you to death."

"Don't be angry; it's not that serious—I haven't done anything, why are you like this?"

"Hmph."

Zhuge Ruolan struggled to sit up, gasping heavily; she suppressed her inner anger—at times like this one must not be angry, nor let anger cloud the spirit.

She reached out, lifted her head, and asked: "Where's the medicine?"

Chen Chuyang gave a hehe smile, took out a Hundred Herbs Pill and handed it to her.

Zhuge Ruolan examined the pill, then realized she couldn't use it—this sort of pill is suitable for those below Golden Core formation, but she isn't.

She lifted her head again, her eyes filled with cold killing intent.

"Are you playing with me?"

"No, no, I'm not playing with you—don't talk nonsense; I really haven't done anything, although you're not bad‑looking."

Shang Hongxue had a black line: "Brother Chuyang, did you misunderstand? The 'play' she meant isn't what you imagine."

"If you want to play, I can accompany you—others can't."

"Zhuge Ruolan can't either."

Zhuge Ruolan had a black line: "This guy, at a time like this, still playing around—how unreasonable."

"You're going too far."

"Everyone says that; you're not the first."

"……"

Zhuge Ruolan gritted her teeth, stood up, walked to Chen Chuyang's front—having thrown caution to the wind, she didn't care about anything else.

She grabbed Chen Chuyang's collar directly and shouted angrily: "Chen Chuyang, don't force me to fight you to the death."

Chen Chuyang shook his head, patted the back of her hand, and Zhuge Ruolan let go on her own.

After adjusting his collar, Chen Chuyang took out another Dragon Blood Pill and handed it to her.

"Your pill."

Zhuge Ruolan lowered her head, her eyes fixed on that pill, and swiftly snatched it away.

After examining it carefully, her face broke into a smile.

"Hehe."

The speed of her expression change and mood recovery made her seem like a completely different person from just moments ago.

Shang Hongxue shook her head speechlessly; a Dragon Blood Pill would buy you off—she has plenty of those on hand.

She also has the upgraded version of the Dragon Blood Pill, though she doesn't need it.

After checking it, Zhuge Ruolan quickly put it away, fearing Chen Chuyang might change his mind.

"You didn't come looking for me just for the pill, did you?"

Chen Chuyang asked, this woman showing up unannounced doesn't seem like she's just dropping by for a visit.

Zhuge Ruolan said solemnly, "The sect leader came to see me and gave me a task."

After glancing at Chen Chuyang with a blank expression, she continued, "This task is simple: just have you join the Yin Gui Sect, and then…"

All the plans and purposes, she would tell Chen Chuyang; Zhuge Ruolan knew this matter could not be hidden from Chen Chuyang.

She also didn't want to hide it; compared to the Yin Gui Sect, she leaned more toward Chen Chuyang.

If something really happened, at least she could ask Chen Chuyang for help, give him enough money to act, and Chen Chuyang would indeed take action; whereas the Yin Gui Sect kills and loots, even sparing no souls, their end is truly miserable—those people have no integrity.
