Fortunately, no inappropriate scenes appeared.

Wang Mu stopped here.

His heart was utterly calm.

The woman picked up the Emperor Spirit Pearl and tossed it to Wang Mu, her voice trembling as she said, "This is mine. I will take it back myself! I don't need you to return it to me!"

With that, she flicked her fingers, sending the bead into Wang Mu's arms.

Wang Mu was speechless.

He closed his eyes, resigned, like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

Meaningless.

Seeing this, the woman's body trembled slightly as she looked at the man standing right before her.

So close, yet a world apart.

What a Seven Emotions Sword Heart!

Mo Xilan!!!

"Great Immortal..." Ao Qing murmured.

What should we do?

"This man has offended me! Lock him up in the Bibo Sea Prison beneath Sealing God Mountain!" the woman said through gritted teeth. "Guard him well! Only release him when he has reflected on his actions."

Ao Qing was silent.

Wang Mu remained silent.

Not bad. She didn't kill me outright? Wang Mu was slightly surprised.

Ao Qing glanced at Wang Mu. Who on earth is this cultivator? she wondered. He seems to have an unusual relationship with the Great Immortal... Offended? How did he offend her? Ao Qing pondered for a long time but still couldn't see how he had caused offense.

However, since it was the Great Immortal's command, she naturally dared not disobey.

Ao Qing gently opened her mouth, and a stream of watery light shot out, enveloping Wang Mu.

The next moment, Wang Mu felt his surroundings transform as he swiftly sank towards the base of Sealing God Mountain and vanished.

"Great Immortal! Great Immortal!" Little Jiao Huo cried out anxiously, "Please don't! There's nothing between Wang Mu and me..."

Little Jiao Huo thought this was her fault.

The woman sighed, walked over to Little Jiao Huo, and looked at her innocent, child-like face.

Three-Life Love.

A nameless rage flared within her.

He severed his emotions, only to forge a romantic destiny with such a child at the Changqing Tree? How infuriating! His tastes have changed after a thousand years, haven't they?

"Come, follow me inside." The woman patted Little Jiao Huo's head. "He'll be fine. The Great Immortal won't let any real harm come to him. He'll just suffer a little..."

"Great Immortal, can I suffer in his place?" Little Jiao Huo whispered. "He already went through so much to get up here..."

Hearing this, the woman paused, taken aback. She looked at the pure, innocent eyes of Little Jiao Huo and chuckled. "No wonder... Don't worry, it's just a little suffering."

With that, the woman led Little Jiao Huo into the Palace.

"Great Immortal, why are you doing this..." Little Jiao Huo pressed.

The woman replied, "Do you remember the story I told you about thunder?"

"I remember! We even encountered one on the way here, and Wang Mu was struck by lightning. Grandma later said the Spiritual Artifact he crafted had attracted the Small Tribulation Cloud… I thought he was the kind of unfaithful man you described, Great Immortal."

"He is exactly that kind of man," Immortal Bi You stated.

Little Jiao Huo fell silent.

Immortal Bi You sighed. Perhaps feeling the lingering melancholy in her heart, she led Little Jiao Huo to sky-blue seats at the top of the Palace.

Inside Bi You Palace stood eighteen Coiled Dragon Flying Phoenix Jade Pillars. Celestial phenomena adorned the walls as murals, and depictions of the Four Seas covered the floor. Stepping inside felt less like entering a palace and more like entering a magnificent, mystical world where the sky and sea seamlessly merged. It appeared simple, yet it was profoundly intricate.

Celestial phenomena were depicted above, seemingly forming a complete Zhou Tian cycle, resembling some ancient Big Formation. Depictions of the Four Seas covered the ground, with endless mountains and rivers converging into vast panoramas. As Little Jiao Huo observed carefully, she discovered she could even find the location of Glazed Lake.

So the Great Immortal is always watching over Glazed Lake, she thought.

This was the Four Seas and Myriad Phenomena Array, established above the Nine Provinces, capable of constantly sensing conditions in numerous bodies of water. Of course, it could only provide a general overview. Finely perceiving every single creature within the waters was impossible. It could only sense significant energy fluctuations in the waters, helping to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

Arriving at the seats above, the woman did not disperse the swirling mist that veiled her. Little Jiao Huo still couldn't see the Great Immortal's face clearly. In fact, her features were even more blurred and obscured than during their first meeting.

"Little one, let this Great Immortal tell you a story..." Immortal Bi You said softly. "Would you like to hear it? The story of Wang Mu and me..."

Little Jiao Huo immediately snuggled up beside her, looking like a curious child eager for a story.

Immortal Bi You softly began to recount the events of the past.

As Little Jiao Huo listened, she began to cry...

"SOB... SOB... Great Immortal, you and Wang Mu went through so much together..." Little Jiao Huo wiped the tears from her eyes, wailing, "Why didn't you end up together? It's been a thousand years, and you've met again! Even the Divine Fish guided you to each other... Why do you still want Wang Mu to suffer, Great Immortal..."

Her words, like a question from the soul, silenced Immortal Bi You.

"Do you remember his promise in the story?"

"Yes... He said he wanted to be with you forever..."

"After making that promise back then, he vanished for a thousand years. That was one thing. But later, I discovered he hadn't only said those words to me. He'd said them to at least six other women as well..."

"Huh?" Little Jiao Huo's crying hitched, her mouth falling open in shock. She seemed utterly stunned.

"How could Wang Mu be such a philanderer?" Little Jiao Huo tilted her head, picturing Wang Mu. Was he really like that?

Little Jiao Huo pondered for a moment. But... I wonder if Wang Mu also suffered during this past millennium?

Immortal Bi You fell silent for a few moments, her voice softening considerably as she said, "This Great Immortal knows. So... I just want him to suffer a little, then help him with his cultivation for a while. Once he has a change of heart, I'll let him out."
