The water in the bath was still steaming. The temperature in the room wasn’t particularly hot, but it wasn’t chilly either.

However, Jiang Hao couldn’t feel the warmth. Despite the comfortable surroundings, he was breaking into a cold sweat.

This situation was different from before. If she decided to hold him accountable, he might not survive.

Faced with Hong Yuye’s question, he didn’t dare hesitate to answer. “I just entered. I didn’t intend to…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a vast aura erupted and overwhelmed him. It came crashing down upon him like a tidal wave.

In an instant, he felt enveloped by this immense pressure, and a sense of powerlessness overcame him.

With a loud crash, the folding screen was shattered, and he was sent hurtling into the wall.

When everything finally came to a stop, Jiang Hao felt like he had narrowly escaped a disaster.

He couldn’t even tell where he had crashed. He was completely disoriented. He patted his body and found no visible injuries. He was just in a daze.

It was indeed a close call.

“Repair the folding screen,” she said.

Her voice was calm and indifferent. Jiang Hao couldn’t guess what she must be thinking.

He touched his face and realized that the change in his appearance was likely due to his transformation into Smiling San Sheng.

But now, he was back to his original self. He felt that continuing to pretend to be Smiling San Sheng might not be a good idea. Hong Yuye often looked at him coldly.

The folding screen was destroyed, and there was no way to repair it.

“Senior, I’ll go buy a new one,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye raised an eyebrow and looked at him. She didn’t say anything. She left him to figure out a way on his own.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

Even without instructions, he understood what she meant.

The wooden frame could be repaired, but the silk in the middle was another matter.

He thought for a moment and decided to use large sheets of paper to replace it. Perhaps he could use some spells to keep it secure.

Once the frame was restored, he faced the challenge of repairing the painting on it.

“Senior, is this okay?” Jiang Hao didn’t dare to turn around.

He felt her gaze on him and a soft chuckle. “If you think it’s acceptable, then it is.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Was that a yes or a no?

He had never really painted before, and it was impossible to say if he was good at it.

He could onlv zive it a trv. Since he was good at drawinz runes, he mizht have some talent in this field as well.

After grinding the ink, Jiang Hao stepped forward and faced away from Hong Yuye. He was ready to begin his painting.

On the outside, he was facing the screen. If anything went wrong, he could immediately see it from the inside. It was another way to avoid disaster.

Before starting his artwork, Jiang Hao thought it best to take care of the actual matter first.

“Senior, can I have some tea?” he asked.

“You can have tea, but if I’m not satisfied afterward, you know the consequences, right?”

“I understand,” he said.

The consequences would be the terrifying aura, or perhaps she might make him give up something of his. Both choices were risky but not life-threatening.

Jiang Hao stepped forward and approached the tub to retrieve the teapot. He took a sip and returned to the folding screen.

He held the ink in his left hand and the brush in his right. After some thought, he began to paint. He started from the left and painted a landscape.

As he painted, he felt that there should be another tree in the scenery. But what kind of tree would be suitable?

The one he knew best was the peach tree. So, he decided to paint a peach tree.

However, halfway through, he felt that there should be a person too. But what kind of person would be suitable?

He was lost in thought for a moment. His mind felt exceptionally clear as if he could see through the endless mist. His vision was vast, and his state of mind was sharp.

Drip! Drip!

It seemed that something was appearing in the landscape of mountains and rivers. It was just an ordinary courtyard with a peach tree swaying in the wind, and beneath the tree sat a woman in a red dress. Her hair swayed with the breeze.

In the next moment, he began to paint. This time, he painted quickly.

Hong Yuye watched from start to finish with disdain and mockery as if she were watching him make a fool of himself.

However, suddenly, she became interested. Jiang Hao seemed to be free of his constraints.

His brushwork became more unrestrained, and the landscape emerged on the paper.

The peach tree turned into peach blossoms and bloomed in the spring breeze. A figure gradually appeared beneath the tree. She was sitting on a wooden chair with a teacup on the table.

After completing all this, Jiang Hao picked up his brush and wrote something underneath: “Clouds wish for elegant attire, and flowers yearn for a beautiful countenance. With the spring breeze brushing the threshold, dewdrops glisten brightly. ”

It was just one line.

After finishing, he nodded in satisfaction and discarded the ink palette and brush. With a flick of his hand, a teapot appeared in his hand.

He drank heartily and finished all the tea.

Then, he extended his index finger and made a gentle cut. A drop of blood oozed from his finger. It fell on the figure on the paper.

In an instant, her clothing was stained with blood.

Hong Yuye, who was watching from behind, looked at the woman under the tree in a red dress. She then looked at the words written beneath.

“It’s done.” Jiang Hao sighed in relief.

However, he quickly realized his error and instinctively turned around. At that moment, their eyes met.

With a loud crash, Jiang Hao was thrown against the wall, while Hong Yuye remained seated in the bathtub.

On the continent under the starry skies, Xu Bai stood before the Burning Immortal Formation. He was deep in thought.

He frowned.

If he entered the formation, its brilliance would cover the entire place. That would mean that the formation would be activated.

“Senior Brother, we’ve made a significant discovery!” MO Chuan rushed over once again.

This time, he was accompanied by two others. All of them radiated the power of the stars.

“What’s the new discovery, Junior Brother?” asked Xu Bai with a smile.

He paid closer attention this time as it was no longer just MO Chuan. There were three people this time.

“We’ve found information about the Burning Immortal Formation!” MO Chuan exclaimed. “We entered the second floor, and there was a room that contained records of the Burning Immortal Formation. It’s in a room in the secret chamber, so it’s unlikely to be fake.”

“Information about the Burning Immortal Formation?” Xu Bai was surprised.

“What does it say?”

“According to the records, whoever activates the Burning Immortal Formation can control the formation,” he said earnestly. “Moreover, the Burning Immortal Formation serves as an auxiliary formation to enter deeper into the secret palace. So, obtaining the control of the Burning Immortal Formation will enable us to explore more of the palace.”

“Activate the Burning Immortal Formation?” Xu Bai inquired. “What’s the plan,

Junior Brother?”

The other person said, ‘We’re planning to enter the formation and activate the

Burning Immortal Formation..”
