Chapter 67: Returning to Wuhun City, Hu Liena Makes an Appointment Late at Night!
"I obey your orders!" Zi Ji accepted without hesitation, standing up and preparing to leave.
"No! I object!" Di Tian firmly opposed, saying, "The continent is surrounded by powerful humans, and the source of the mysterious aura is unpredictable. I'm afraid Zi Ji is not qualified for this task. It would be safer for me to go to this dangerous place myself!"
As soon as Di Tian spoke, a majestic rebuke echoed from the depths of the palace:
"How dare you! How can you, a mere Di Tian, oppose my orders?!"
Boom—!
The voice was accompanied by an overwhelming sense of oppression, like a thunderclap that made Di Tian tremble.
Zi Ji, hearing her master's words, paused and looked back at Di Tian. A flash of determination and pride appeared in her eyes, and her voice was filled with unshakable resolve.
"Di Tian, I am the Hell Demon Dragon King with over 200,000 years of cultivation! While my strength may be less than a third of yours, my bloodline is far purer than yours. How could I be afraid of mere human power? I will complete the master's orders to the best of my ability. You need not worry so much. You should stay here and protect the master from harm!"
After speaking, Zi Ji turned and left without hesitation.
"Alas..." Di Tian frowned, his face filled with helplessness. He knew she was a woman of high self-esteem and understood her temperament. He also knew that once the master made a decision, it was nearly impossible to change it. He could only watch as Zi Ji swiftly left the silver palace.
"Hmph!" Deep inside the silver palace, a silver-white figure watched Zi Ji leave. This figure, Gu Yuena, gazed intently outside the hall, as if she could see through layers of space and view the outside world.
"Who is responsible for that aura? Could it be him? Did he also escape to Douluo Star?" Gu Yuena muttered to herself. A hint of expectation flickered in her eyes as she considered the possibility.

Ye Han and Ling Yuan's Journey Back to Wuhun City:
Ye Han and Ling Yuan's encounter didn't end until nightfall. Ling Yuan had absorbed the 100,000-year-old left arm bone of the Titan Giant Ape, and by the following morning, she had completed the absorption, increasing her soul power to level 96.
The two then set out to return to Wuhun City, leaving the hotel filled with sweet memories. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, and after the events of the previous day, Ye Han and Ling Yuan were now officially a couple. They were close and affectionate in the carriage, making Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu in the same carriage jealous.
When night fell, the silhouette of Wuhun City appeared in the distance. The four of them entered the city and made their way directly to the Worship Hall to report back to Qian Daoliu, as was customary. However, when they arrived, the Worship Hall was empty.
"What's going on? Where are the worshippers?!" Ye Han and Ling Yuan exchanged surprised glances. The Worship Hall, a place where the worshippers resided, was completely deserted.
Just as they wondered what was going on, a guard came forward and respectfully explained, "Greetings, Elder Ling Yuan. Are you here to find the chief worshipper? I'm afraid you'll need to return. Yesterday, there was an extremely terrifying disturbance in the Xingdou Great Forest, and the chief worshipper led a group of worshippers to investigate."
Ye Han and Ling Yuan quickly understood. The worshippers had been drawn to the disturbance in the Xingdou Great Forest, and it was likely that their paths simply hadn't crossed on the road.
"Thank you for your hard work," Ye Han nodded before taking Ling Yuan's hand boldly as they left. Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu, still filled with jealousy, followed closely behind.

The Mysterious Letter:
Upon returning to their residence, Ling Yuan shyly said, "My dear husband, you must be tired from the long journey. Let's take a bath."
Ye Han smiled inwardly, but then a realization struck him. There was something important to take care of after returning—he needed to clean up his mess and deal with Bibi Dong.
However, before he could say anything, there was a knock at the door.
Knock, knock!
Ye Han frowned slightly. Who could it be at this hour?
Ling Yuan, still blushing, looked at Xiao Wu, who went to answer the door. She returned with a strange woman, dressed in ordinary clothes. The woman handed over a letter without saying much, then turned and left, vanishing into the night.
"Huh? What's this?" Xiao Wu asked, confused.
Ye Han took the letter from her and opened it. After reading it, he discovered it was an invitation from Hu Liena. The letter mentioned that Hu Liena had suddenly fallen seriously ill and was lying in bed, pleading for Ye Han to visit her alone.
"Hmm?" Ye Han furrowed his brow. Why would Hu Liena send a letter like this right after his return to Wuhun City?
Though suspicious, Ye Han decided to believe her, as she had never lied to him before. After considering it for a moment, he handed the letter to Ling Yuan and whispered in her ear, "Sister Ling Yuan, Senior Sister Nana is ill. I'm going to visit her. You wait for me here."
Ling Yuan reluctantly watched him leave, but once she opened the letter and read it, something didn't sit right. She couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't as they seemed.

Ye Han's Visit to Hu Liena:
Following the instructions in the letter, Ye Han soon arrived at the courtyard where Hu Liena lived.
Creek~
The gate opened automatically, and a rich fragrance wafted out, setting Ye Han's nerves on edge.
"Hmm?" Ye Han frowned, cautiously stepping into the room and calling out, "Senior Sister Nana, where are you? I'm here to see you."
A charming and playful voice answered from within the room, "Junior Brother Xiaohan, I'm here. Come in~"
Hu Liena's voice was soft, but there was no hint of illness in it.
Something felt off. She's not sick at all, right? Ye Han's mind raced with alarm bells, but since he was already here, he couldn't just leave. He pushed open the door and entered.
Creek~
The light inside was dim, revealing a beautiful figure lying on the bed, her back to Ye Han. She wore a thin gauze that revealed her alluring curves, especially her slender legs exposed to the air. It was a sight that stirred the blood.
"Gurgle~!"
Even Ye Han, usually unaffected by women, felt a stir within him at the seductive scene.
"Xiao Han, you're finally here~" Hu Liena turned around slowly, her voice laced with sweetness. However, when she saw the strange handsome man standing before her, her expression faltered for a moment. Panic and embarrassment instantly filled her face.
