"So, the fruits of the central Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood are in their hands."

You Huang's gaze turned cold, his voice soft yet menacing, "You two little ones, will you come out yourselves, or should I drag you out myself?"

In the Peach Garden, sensing You Huang's arrival, Shen Wang felt a shiver down his spine. Hearing these words, he leaped onto a branch and said indifferently, "I say there are no fruits on this Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood, do you believe it?"

"When I tell you to come out, didn't you hear me?"

You Huang was unquestionable and didn't care at all about what Shen Wang said.

"Sorry, coming out means death, I'd be a fool to do that."

Shen Wang sneered.

You Huang's gaze was indifferent, "If you don't come out, it's still death. The formations here can't stop me."

As she spoke, she raised her wrist. Her snow-white, slender fingers were flawless, with sharp nails exposed. She waved her hand towards the array formation.

A sharp claw mark landed on the array barrier, making a harsh tearing sound. The array was as soft as the water surface, with visible claw marks appearing, visibly damaged in part.

Although the array wasn't broken with one move, You Huang's destructive power and momentum transmitted across hundreds of feet, making Molan and Shen Wang's scalps tingle.

This was a Demon Emperor; the two of them combined weren't a match, and the array clearly wouldn't hold for long. Continuing like this would be dangerous.

"What should we do? We can't go out now, but hiding here isn't working either."

Molan looked at Shen Wang anxiously, her face pale.

"Are you coming out or not?"

You Huang's face was expressionless. Another swipe through the air caused the array to twist violently, as if it would tear open with just a few more strikes.

This was purely using brute force to break through the array, without any technique.

"I told you, there aren't any Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Peaches here. If you don't believe it, keep breaking the array."

Shen Wang formed a seal with his hands, sending a stream of Spiritual Light onto the peach wood ahead. Immediately, it was like kindling being set ablaze. A flame burst out from the tree, then flowed into the outer array.

The array barrier, which seemed about to shatter, suddenly thickened under the red light, and the places where marks had been made quickly healed.

Just moments ago, after Shen Wang discovered this Peach Grove was a unique array, he realized these peach woods were the power source for the outer array, part of the entire cave mansion's formation.

Upon observation, he found the roots of the peach woods absorbed the Fire Attribute Spiritual Power from the magma deep underground, both aiding their own growth and maintaining the formation here.

He only needed to make slight adjustments to activate the power contained in the peach woods and strengthen the outer array to unleash a defense beyond its original capacity.

You Huang's cat eyes narrowed, turning to look into the Peach Grove, chuckling sweetly, "Interesting, do you think this can stop me?"

"You might break through, but it won't be quick. By then, other Demon Emperors might snatch better treasures, and you'll be picking up sesame seeds while losing a watermelon."

Shen Wang mocked; the Peach Grove here indeed had value, but it definitely wasn't the most valuable place in this cave mansion.

Since the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable's title was Medicine Venerable, the most valuable places would surely be the real herb fields and alchemy rooms.

You Huang's eyes narrowed for a moment, looking slightly displeased.

"Arrogant!"

A cold laugh echoed, and in an instant, she appeared before the array barrier and then vanished.

Sizzle!

The air was sliced, sharp claw marks appeared as if cutting through the void. Different claw marks landed simultaneously in the same spot, and the recently thickened array once more showed cracks.

Shen Wang's pupils shrank. He quickly formed seals to activate the power of other peach woods, releasing circles of red energy that formed quickly over the spots cut by You Huang.

In no time, the entire Peach Garden lit up brightly, trees swayed, flames flickered, and the air quickly became scorching hot.

Layers of red light superimposed on the outer shield; although You Huang's attacks were fierce, each broken layer revealed another beneath it. However, once hundreds of red beams superimposed and fused, even her swift attacks couldn't easily break through.

Continuous streams of Fire Attribute Power were released from the peach woods, stacking the shield over a foot thick, obscuring inside from outside view.

You Huang was infuriated, shouting, "Are you all just standing there watching, or are you going to help drain the array's power?"

The Tiger King and Monkey King snapped to attention, joining forces with the Cat King who had come with You Huang to assist in attacking the array, depleting its power.

Rumble!

Boisterous sounds emerged as the array barrier twisted with attacks, but still stopped short of breaking.

Shen Wang sneered, directly stamping a mark on the central Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood. An instant torrent of flames surged forth, stabilizing the center, making the entire Peach Garden more stable.

Seeing this change, Molan exhaled deeply, relaxing her tense body and wiping away sweat from her forehead—whether due to the heat or tension—as she watched Shen Wang in a daze.

At that moment, Shen Wang's side profile was quite charming, drawing her to look more, feeling quite moved.

Initially believing they might die here today, she had even prepared to meet her end, considering the opponents outside were Demon Emperors, stronger than ordinary Nascent Soul Great Cultivators.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, the man before her reversed the situation, using the layout to block the Demon Emperor outside temporarily, preserving their lives.

Shen Wang turned to him with a grin, saying proudly, "How about it, am I handsome or what?"

Molan blushed, nodding, "You are indeed quite handsome."

"Then give me a kiss."

Shen Wang brazenly said, a bit boastfully.

Pop.

Just as Shen Wang thought he had said it casually, Molan tiptoed and pecked him on the cheek lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Shen Wang's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Molan in delight.

Her face turned a rosy hue, as radiant as the evening glow, leading one to be mesmerized.

"I just feel you've indirectly saved my life, so here's a reward."

Molan averted her eyes, not daring to meet Shen Wang's gaze, her heart pounding.

This kind of beauty Shen Wang found irresistible, humphing, "I won't let you be the only one kissing me."

With that, he lifted Molan's delicate face and kissed that touch of vibrant red amidst her wide, beautiful eyes.

Molan's body trembled, staring at Shen Wang in disbelief, her mind going blank, unsure what to do.

Shen Wang, however, was unreserved, kissing skillfully.

The enormous peach wood emitted red light, enveloping the kissing pair, creating a unique atmosphere.

Outside, the Demon Emperor and Demon Kings attacked frantically, making a great commotion, with the collision sounds of mana and the array barrier deafening.

Within, Shen Wang and Molan kissed freely beneath the peach tree.

A few minutes later, Shen Wang couldn't stand Molan's poison any longer and had to let go, his lips already swollen.

Although his power could resist poison, such close contact over time was still hard to endure.

Feeling frustrated, he looked at Molan, whose cheeks were flushed, eyes like pools of water, clearly moved, and said, "Even kissing is dangerous. When can you control your poison?"

"Who told you to be so reckless."

Molan rebuked, hurriedly releasing Shen Wang. She felt a surge of nervousness, realizing she was nominally still the woman of the Sixth Prince yet here she was, kissing another man. It was too wild.

"Ah, being intimate with you is really agony mixed with joy."

Shen Wang said helplessly, quickly sitting down to force out the poison.

Seeing Shen Wang's awkward state, Molan laughed joyously, her beauty overshadowing even the peach wood's brilliance for a moment.

"I haven't cultivated the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons for long. Give me some time, and I'll have better control."

Molan said softly.

Shen Wang's ears twitched, "In that case, doesn't that mean we can take it to the next level?"

Understanding Shen Wang's words, Molan retorted bashfully, "In your dreams, I'm not your woman yet."

"Now we're lovers at least."

Shen Wang shrugged; he hadn't expected to form a bond with Molan here, it seemed the suspension bridge effect was indeed real.

Shen Wang thought happily to himself, while outside the demons wore grimaces.

They had attacked for quite a while, yet saw no sign of the array barrier weakening, clearly indicating it wouldn't break easily anytime soon.

You Huang paused, her face dark, muttering through gritted teeth, "Kid, you'd better hope I don't run into you."
