Chapter 34: My Wife Doesn’t Want to Get Married?

“Senior Sister, you…”

The Emei Sect disciples stared at Shu Xiangdie in shock.

After barely escaping the danger in the barren mountain, each of their acupoints had been sealed by Shu Xiangdie.

“If you can’t even handle this tomb, it’s better for me to send you out of the Secret Realm directly,” Shu Xiangdie said, turning around, seemingly uninterested in explaining further.

“But Senior Sister, what about you? This tomb is extremely dangerous, and you’re the only one left…”

The Emei Sect disciples tried to stop her, but Shu Xiangdie waved her hand, and a gentle breeze carried a hint of spiritual energy, infusing their bodies.

As the light enveloped them, the Emei Sect disciples, who had been mistaken for being injured, were gradually transported out of the tomb.

For some reason, whenever Shu Xiangdie saw Nie Chen’s back, she felt a mix of emotions and irritation.

Saintess Fanhua had personally assigned her to try to contact Nie Chen and understand his situation.

However, at this moment, Shu Xiangdie had no intention of doing so.

Nie Chen was the first person to reject her, the first man to catch her attention.

He was also the first person to make her feel so difficult to understand.

Unable to calm her emotions, Shu Xiangdie’s eyes turned sharp, and she drew her sword, leaping into the forbidden area filled with monsters.

Other cultivators tried to charge into the wave of monsters, but most were quickly swallowed up, unable to make a splash.

“Quiet Water Technique!”

A pale blue light enveloped Shu Xiangdie’s body, and her slender sword danced up and down, its surface covered with a layer of clear water.

With each strike, she could cleave the fire monsters in two.

The sword light flashed, sometimes transforming into a spear, sometimes a shield, and Shu Xiangdie managed to carve a path through the monsters.

“Despicable, those juniors!”

In the sky, the Shadow Demon King, Yang Ce, Old Demon Yangxi, and four others noticed the commotion on the ground.

Seeing more and more people following Shu Xiangdie’s path towards the tomb’s main hall, they grew anxious.

They had already been targeted by the giant monster and needed to eliminate it to break through.

“Shall we join forces and settle our differences after entering the main hall?”

The Shadow Demon King looked at the other six, and after a moment of silence, they nodded in agreement.

If they continued to fight the monster separately, they would only allow the juniors to reap the benefits.

A dark, blade-like shadow descended, and the Shadow Demon King unleashed his ultimate technique, “Shadow Curtain.”

The black shadow swept across, instantly extinguishing a large portion of the monster’s flames.

Before the flames could reignite, a massive, frenzied gust of wind, conjured by Yang Ce, struck the monster.

With a single, mighty blow, the monster’s body trembled violently.

“Unexpectedly, I’ve been forced to use my final technique. Humph, I’ll just have to give you all a discount,” Old Demon Yangxi said coldly, slowly revealing a painting.

Intense light radiated from the painting, illuminating half the sky above the dark tomb.

“What kind of treasure is this?”

Countless people gasped in amazement, and even Nie Chen couldn’t help but look up, but he could only barely make out the painting’s outline and not its contents.

The intense light seemed to make the originally arrogant fire monster reveal a hint of fear.

Its massive body tried to retreat, but it was too late.

As the light dissipated, the image on the painting was revealed to the monster.

It was the “Hundred Beauties’ Portrait”!

The moment the painting appeared, the monster let out a pained screech, its flames solidifying, and its eyes bursting into fragments.

Its massive body petrified, unable to move.

“Take advantage of the situation, act quickly!”

The other four cultivators unleashed their techniques, striking the monster with a barrage of spells.

In the sky, the monster’s enormous head was bombarded by the attacks.

A fierce, scorching wave of flames erupted, and the monster’s body could no longer withstand the assault, crashing to the ground with a deafening boom.

“Boom!”

A massive shockwave spread from the monster’s body, rapidly expanding in all directions.

Cultivators who had been rushing towards the tomb’s main hall were caught in the wave.

The turbulent energy was too fast, like an invisible monster, engulfing everything in its path.

In an instant, many people were swallowed by the energy, injured, and expelled from the tomb.

Some unfortunate souls didn’t even have time to defend themselves, consumed by the flames and reduced to ashes.

As the energy wave approached, Shu Xiangdie pushed her Quiet Water Technique to its limits, mobilizing all her spiritual energy to charge forward.

However, a humanoid monster blocked her path.

Its solid, muscular body was filled with brutal strength, and its fist struck Shu Xiangdie, who barely dodged the attack.

The surrounding beasts took advantage of the opening, pouncing on her, and one of them slashed her abdomen, leaving three deep gashes.

“No!”

Shu Xiangdie’s pain was intense, and she killed the beast that had attacked her, but she had overlooked the humanoid monster beside her.

She tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The monster’s massive fist, accompanied by a roaring flame, struck Shu Xiangdie, who raised her sword to block the attack.

Although she managed to deflect the blow, the impact sent her flying backward.

“Bang, bang.”

Shu Xiangdie crashed to the ground twice, her body wracked with pain.

The treasured book she had kept on her person, “Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions,” was knocked out of her hands.

“Despicable.”

Shu Xiangdie struggled to stand, but her body wouldn’t cooperate.

More and more fire monsters targeted her, rushing towards her.

The scorching wave was closing in.

“Is this the end?”

Shu Xiangdie’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

Just then, a figure approached, picking up the book that had been knocked out of her hands.

“Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions?”

Nie Chen’s interest was piqued by the book’s title.

This world actually had someone who advocated for singlehood?

He couldn’t help but be intrigued and looked at the author’s name.

“Damn it?”

Nie Chen’s eyes widened in shock.

The author’s name was clearly written – Empress Qingyue.

Nie Chen: “So, this ‘Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions’ was written by my own wife?”
