“Wo Ri! What the hell is going on!?” Ku Chenzi, Ye Han’s Master, had his nose practically crooked with anger.
He had originally planned to hold this Grand Ceremony for the enfeoffment of the Holy Son with great fanfare to help Ye Han regain some Face after the embarrassment at the neighboring Sect last time.
But as it turned out, he was struck by lightning again in full view of the public, leaving him burnt outside and tender inside—losing Face again and again!
At this moment, Ku Chenzi felt as if he had been stripped naked and thrown onto the street, unable to move, while the onlookers took out their tools and began spitting Aged Stale Urine onto his face. That feeling was indescribably awful!
An Elder whispered, “Sect Master, could it be that something unclean is targeting him in secret?”
“Yes, yes! I remember he wasn't this unlucky before. How did he suddenly become so miserable?”
Ku Chenzi did not speak, his face gloomy as he flew onto the stage and first took the unconscious Ye Han away.
In the corner, an Old Daoist shook the Horsetail Whisk in his hand while looking at the retreating figures of the Master and disciple: “Fleeting life, Boundless Heavenly Venerable! What is gained must be lost; since he seized another’s Karma, he must suffer another’s retribution! This is the price!”
After speaking, he left gracefully with the Young Daoist Boy beside him.

At this time, Miao Miaomiao, far away at the Horizon, was unaware that Ye Han had become a laughingstock in everyone’s eyes because of her.
If she knew, she would definitely give him one word: Deserved!
After her Cultivation Level stabilized completely, Miao Miaomiao stood up and carefully inspected the underground Space on this second level.
Her efforts paid off; she found a hidden door, but she couldn't open it, as an unknown force ruthlessly repelled her.
Looking at the hidden door before her, Miao Miaomiao rested her chin in her hand thoughtfully, “It seems this door is prepared for a specific person. Who could it be?”
Right! I can have Little Yueyue try it; she is the Female Protagonist, after all!
Since the Death Qi here has disappeared anyway, I can bring her in.
With that thought, Miao Miaomiao immediately turned and left.
Returning to the Altar on the previous level, she looked at the spot where the Old Bastard had been buried alive, and with a thought, she dug him out again.
After all, her Cultivation Level had improved, so she had to try if she could finally kill him.
Unfortunately, after a series of fierce actions, the Old fellow remained stable, suffering only minor external injuries. Miao Miaomiao had no choice but to tearfully bury him a second time and firmly tamp down the dirt.
Walking out of the woods, she immediately spotted Shi Wanyue pacing back and forth not far away, a hint of anxiety on her face.
“Little Yueyue!” Miao Miaomiao immediately waved at her.
“Senior Sister!!” Hearing her voice, Shi Wanyue instantly beamed, running over happily, “How was it? Did anything happen? I was worried sick about you.”
“Don’t worry, your Senior Sister is exceptionally steady.” As she spoke, Miao Miaomiao displayed her Cultivation Level, “See? Not only am I fine, but I even had a small breakthrough!”
Shi Wanyue’s eyes sparkled with little hearts, and she gave a thumbs-up, “As expected of Senior Sister, so amazing!”
“Keep it down, keep it down.” Miao Miaomiao waved her hand modestly, “By the way, what about those two Old fellows? After I left, did they cause any trouble?”
“They are over there~”
Following the direction of her finger, she saw the two Old fellows tightly bound to a tree, covered in blood.
Seeing how badly the two brothers had been beaten, Miao Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, “They were…”
Shi Wanyue nervously fiddled with the corner of her clothes and whispered, “I was worried about you, you know~”
So you were worried about her, and you beat up us two? What kind of twisted logic is that! The two Old fellows trembled with rage upon hearing this.
At first, they thought she was a good person, but after Miao Miaomiao left, she completely changed, hitting them whenever she felt like it, without even consulting them. She beat the two brothers until they cried for their fathers and mothers, nearly losing their breath.
Old Second Huang, growing angrier the more he thought about it, couldn't help but complain loudly to Miao Miaomiao, “Can’t you control her? She’s completely gone mad! This person has violent tendencies!”
Old Third Huang grunted and nodded in agreement, “Exactly! Look at how beaten up we are, we don’t even look human anymore!”
Miao Miaomiao rolled her eyes, “Serves you right! Who told you you deserved a beating? Our Yueyue is not wrong! Good job hitting them!”
Shi Wanyue: (????) Senior Sister is so good to me.
“Alright, ignore them. Yueyue, I have something to tell you.” Miao Miaomiao pulled her aside and whispered a few words.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Shi Wanyue agreed without hesitation.
She pointed to the two Old fellows, “What about them? Should we take them along?”
“No need, they can’t run away. Let’s go.”
Watching the two figures leave, Old Third Huang’s mouth twitched, “Second Brother, they’re gone, what should we do? I’m about to lose all my spirit!”
“What to do, what to do!” Old Second Huang was somewhat annoyed, “If I had any way out, I wouldn’t be completely helpless!”
“Ma Bi, this little slut is truly Evil! She stayed in there for so long and still couldn't take her dog life!”
Old Second Huang sighed faintly, “The only plan now is to pray that Big Brother wakes up soon. Only when he wakes up can he save us from this dire situation.”
Old Third Huang sighed along with him, “Exactly! If Big Brother were here, how could we have fallen into such a state!”
Among the Three Ghosts of the Huang Family, Big Brother Huang Galah was supremely powerful, with sinister and ruthless methods—a first-rate ruthless person.
If he made a move, killing these two little sluts would be as easy as crushing an ant, but they just didn't know when he would wake up.
Just as the two brothers were sighing deeply, Miao Miaomiao brought Shi Wanyue to the strange Stone Door on the second level of the Altar.
She pointed to the Stone Door before her, “You try to see if you can open it.”
“Okay, alright!” Shi Wanyue nodded and slowly walked forward.
The moment her palm touched the door, ripples of Spirit Pattern spread out. But quickly, an invisible obstructing force pushed her away.
Shi Wanyue shook her head regretfully, “It won’t work. There is a Special Restriction here; only the destined person can open it.”
Hearing this, Miao Miaomiao fell into thought. If even the Female Protagonist was rejected, then this door could only be opened by one person! That Bastard Ye Han!
The two tried various methods, but the Stone Door remained unmoved.
Helpless, they could only give up for the time being.
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Miao Miaomiao simply picked up her Shovel and dug out the Old fellow buried in the ground again.
Then she called Shi Wanyue over to join her. After a round of merciless double-teaming by the women, the Old fellow, though covered in wounds, remained stable.
“Senior Sister, who is he?” Shi Wanyue finally remembered to ask after they were done beating him.
“Oh, he’s the Big Brother of those two guys outside.” While answering, Miao Miaomiao didn't stop her hands, swinging the Shovel to personally send the Old fellow into the grave three times, then jumping up to stomp the dirt solid.
After finishing all that, she took Shi Wanyue and left triumphantly.
Arriving outside, they released the two Old fellows tied to the tree.
“Speak, where is the Teleportation Array?”
“It’s deep inside the Cold Pool a hundred miles away,” Old Second Huang replied weakly.
“Very well, rest for one night, and we will set off tomorrow.”
