CHAPTER 40

— Hall of Yama — "Senior Brother, what should we do now?" Cookie didn't know the coordinates for the next level and had mistakenly set up a return teleportation array. Fortunately, the members of the Qianyu Sect had been secretly watching nearby, and by a stroke of luck, they helped them out of the predicament, saving them the trouble of turning back—but how were they supposed to get through this Ghost Wall? After a moment of thoughtful silence, Su Yan gently rubbed Cookie's ears and said softly, "Since we can't rely on the array to move forward, we'll break through it... Don't forget—the Eyes that Shatter All Laws." Tong Tong was too busy staring at the pale, ivory-like hand gently stroking the furry back of Cookie's ear. The little creature half-closed its eyes in contentment, looking utterly blissful. Tong Tong couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy—not because her own spirit pet was "straying," but because she secretl...

— The Gate of Hell — What... just happened? Tong Tong shook her head, dizzy from the sudden weightlessness, and opened her eyes, only to meet a pair of eyes as deep as the night sky. Her bl0od rushed, her heart pounded like a drum, and she found herself unable to move—how could there be such beautiful eyes in this world? If only she could gaze into them for a lifetime, how wonderful that would be... Su Yan was half a head taller than her. When the white light flashed, in her urgency, she had wrapped an arm around Tong Tong's waist, pulling her close to protect her. As a result, their bodies were pressed tightly together—Tong Tong looking up, Su Yan looking down, their lips less than three inches apart. So close that she could feel the warmth of the other's breath, so close that it seemed a slight, inadvertent lean or rise onto her toes would bring her lips to that pale cherry color... just a slight, inadvertent movement... As if enchanted, Tong Tong half-closed her eyes and s...

— Jade-Skin Scalding — Could it be that without Su Yan, Tong Tong was nothing but a weakling with a combat power of five? —At least at this moment, the answer was yes. After Su Yan had effortlessly repelled the surrounding Copper-Skin Ghosts with a single sword strike and smoothly resolved the entire situation, thus rescuing the "utterly defenseless" Tong Tong, she finally had to reluctantly admit—her cultivation was truly pathetic! Unlike those transmigrators with heaven-defying talents who dominated the battlefield, she was average in aptitude, average in appearance, and even her cultivation was merely average—she couldn't even handle a few Copper-Skin Ghosts, and had been chased around, scrambling and hiding. Compared to the graceful and poised Su Yan, it was simply too pitiful to look at... It must have been the wrong way she transmigrated! Tong Tong wallowed in self-pity, glancing at the scattered copper skins on the ground, and suddenly lost interest in picking th...

— Poison and Steel — As the eerie, raspy laughter drew nearer, Tong Tong's heart leaped into her throat, fearing she might witness another scene that would test the limits of her psychological endurance. Half-hiding behind Su Yan, she switched the Biling Sword to her left hand and freed her right to reach for Su Yan's delicate fingers—a move reminiscent of a lecherous rogue, yet executed with practiced ease, as if rehearsed countless times in private. Su Yan glanced at her briefly, noting the genuine tension and worry on her face. Softening, she didn't pull away but instead tightened her grip on Tong Tong's hand, offering silent encouragement and reassurance. This unintentional gesture was like a spark igniting the night sky, setting ablaze the flicker of warmth in Tong Tong's heart. Her little heart felt drenched in a mix of sweetness and sourness, teetering between budding hope and withering despair, unable to find peace. 'Does he like me? Or does he like me...
