It could be because she had control over the size of the entrance this time, so she had used up quite a bit more mental energy. She also felt like the exit was a lot longer than their entry.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but she felt like her spirit energy was about to drain dry when they finally exited the thick wall.

“Are you okay?”

Sima You Yue was carried by Wu Lingyu in a princess carry. She was rather lightheaded when a warm evil energy started flowing from her head.

“Senior Brother?” She asked with some uncertainty.

“Not bad, at least you didn’t recognise the wrong person.” Wu Lingyu said with a smile.

“You’re out? What about Mo Sha?” She furrowed her eyebrows and climbed down from his embrace. She stood on the ground, feeling a little weak, so she had to lean on Wu Lingyu.

“He’s returned to the Devil Snare bracelet.” Wu Lingyu said, “You should head back into the Spirit Pagoda to rest for a while.”

Sima You Yue nodded, and brought him into the spirit pagoda.

She took the opportunity to rest, then retracted the dark spirit energy into her dantian before letting the five different attributes flow through her body. She used the illusion once again as she changed clothes and turned back into her familiar male garb.

Wu Lingyu watched as she changed back into her male appearance, and remembered her stunning female look, saying, “It seems I should quickly settle the issues with the Sage Pavilion. Then, you won’t have to continue pretending to be male.”

Sima You Yue tugged at her clothes, saying lightly, “It’s no big deal. I’ve already gotten used to it.”

“It’s not about being used to it. A female should look like a female.” Wu Lingyu said.

Sima You Yue could not be bothered to deal with him as she led him out of the spirit pagoda. Who would have expected that she would hear sounds of fighting shortly after she exited.

“That wall was so hard to cross. How did so many from the devil realm still manage to come over?” She asked with furrowed eyebrows.

“Those from the Devil Realm have always been striving to enter the human realm. With the research of a thousand to ten thousand years, it’s expected that they would have found multiple ways to go about it.” Wu LIngyu said, “Think back to the time Mo Sha led his troops into the human realm. The pathway leads here as well.”

“The six provinces in the ancient primordial lands have roads that lead to the devil realm. Why do they choose this place?” Sima You Yue didn’t understand.

“This place has the least obstruction. Although these types of roads in other places, the barriers are much harder there.” Wu Lingyu said, “Since there’s an easier place, it’s expected that the others would choose to come here.”

“Ah? The battle isn’t between humans and devil clansmen.” Sima You Yue headed over to them and saw a group of people fighting from afar. After she saw the people who were locked in battle more clearly, a burst of rage erupted from her heart.

“Damn, they dare to try and kill my mother and younger brothers? These people are tired of living!” Sima You Yue raged as she called Halcyon out to join the battle.

“Don’t be anxious.” Wu Lingyu pulled on her, “If you go there like this, you’ll cause trouble even if you headed over.”

“I…” Sima You Yue glared at him. Could he not remind her how weak she was?’

“Sss Sss-”

The little snake crawled up beside her ear, snaking his tongue.

“You want to go over?” Sima You Yue understood what the little snake meant, and patted his head, saying, “You can’t appear in front of others right now. It will be troublesome otherwise.”

His current camouflage made it such that others could not recognise him. However, once he jumped into battle, it was possible that someone would recognise him. In order to avoid trouble, it was better for him to remain out of sight.

“Not good, Dear Feng wants to forcefully break the seal! Flowey, you go. Quickly catch all those people!” She cried out, taking out a flowery vine and throwing it in front. She tossed Flowey onto the ground near the battle.

After forming a contract with Flower, she realised that Flowey was not your average Man-eating flower king. He was actually able to produce clones of himself and split their roots into two. As long as you left it alone for a while, it would regrow.

This was why she placed the portion of the root that Flowey had given her, into her spirit pagoda. Even if she died, Flowey would not.

As Flowey landed on the ground, he quickly took root in the soil below. Shortly after, he surrounded the entire area. Later on, a few tens of gigantic man-eating flowers rose from the ground, giving everyone engaged in the ferocious battle a huge scare.

“What is this?”

“Heavens, it’s a Devil Vine!”

“Man-eating flower, it’s a man-eating flower!”

“Why will one suddenly appear here?”

“Careful, do not let the flower catch you.”

“…”

Ximen Feng was preparing to break through his seal, and was trying to use all the energy that Sima You Yue had sealed away when he saw the change in their situation. He was stunned for a while.

“What’s going on here?” Those with him saw the man-eating flower that had suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

Under Sima You Yue’s orders, the man-eating flower king had surrounded the opponent and caught them. Each petal was as hard as iron and tough as steel as it caught them. They couldn’t break free no matter how hard they tried.

“Should we take this opportunity to kill them?” Someone suggested.

“Do not move yet. The sudden appearance of the flower is too dangerous. We do not know if it is a friend or foe. If we move, what do we do if it turns to attack us? Things are too volatile now, we…” Ximen Feng’s words were cut off by the person who had just walked over. He was sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. He flew over immediately and embraced her.

Sima You Yue patted Ximen Feng’s shoulder, saying, “Didn’t I come back safe and sound? Don’t worry.”

“So you know that I was worried.” Ximen Feng hugged her fiercely, “Then why didn’t you come back any quicker?”

“I didn’t ask for this either! When I was over there, I wanted to come back as soon as possible either. Also, someone kidnapped me there.” Sima You Yue said.

“Are you hurt, then?” Ximen Feng released her and appraised her attentively.

Sima You Yue saw his eyebrows furrow, and quickly consoled him, “I’m fine. I’m all good and not injured.”

“I feel like… you’ve gained weight.” Ximen Feng said, “I think that my worries were wasted on you.”

“…” Sima You Yue glared at him. Was this something a good younger brother would say? Could they even mess around happily anymore?

Ximen Feng saw her cute and angry appearance and laughed. It was only now that a weight was lifted from his anxious heart.

“Master, can I eat them?” Flowey’s voice brought Ximen Feng back to his senses, and he saw that a giant flower bud had appeared behind him. Its teeth, that were a foot-long each, struck fear into his heart, giving him a scare.

“Who are these people?” Sima You Yue asked.

“They’re people from the thirty-eighth district.” Ximen Feng replied.

“Thirty-eighth?” From the way he spoke, she should know about the thirty-eighth district?

“Thirty-eighth district. That’s the place you first found your master.” Ximen Feng explained.

“So it’s them.” Sima You Yue glanced at them, saying, “There’s no need to leave this people alive, right?”

“They aren’t important people. It would be the same with or without them.” Ximen Feng said.

“That’s great. Flowey, you can have them for lunch!”
