Yuemi's screams spread far and wide, shaking the Evernight Palace. But as madness took over, a voice, Xinzi's voice, echoed in her mind. 'So often, it is not about the truth, but what the world wants to believe to be true. Yuemi, you have ran amok for 10,000 years, disrespecting even the seniors that supported you in the first place. All they want is a strong excuse, a case so incriminating that no level of status can save you from their pent-up stress and rage. I just helped them build one, but…-

Moving as fast as tumbling thunderbolt, Yuemi's form blurred past the Evernight Palace, following her Divine Sense to return to Xinzi's side. Urgency twisted the Lord-Regent's riveting looks. Her target stood within reach, like a ray of light at the end of a long tunnel. Alas, as soon as she grabbed that ray, Yuemi landed before a mesmerizing giant that—for once in her life—she didn't want to see: the Zhen-body. 'What is going on? Don't tell me that he…' Testing her conjectures, Yuemi vanished…

Xinzi's third eye opened, divine light flashed by the manuscript, scanning its content. In Yuemi's handwriting, two sets of oddly similar mnemonics lay there. The first depicted a cultivation method that Xinzi had heard of, but never seen. The second seemed like a slight alteration that perverted that cultivation method's core principles. Ignoring the manuscript, Xinzi shifted his attention back to Yuemi. She too observed him with scrutiny—so much so that he could only see his reflection in her…

With the Five Elements Transmutative Technique and Swallowing Skill, Xinzi had the means to fix Xiao Hu's condition. But not only did he not have access to those methods in his Zhen-body, but even if he did, he wouldn't dare to use them. It was one thing for Yuemi to keep him in line by relying on the Face-Erasing Whip's authority, another to trample the Zhen-body's sovereign dignity at every turn. If even those under his protection could be harmed or killed at will, then Hengye Zhen might as well be…

While Yuemi's real body kept Xinzi distracted, an avatar stood at Xiao Hu's door, blocking her path. "Hi," Yuemi said, her tone as friendly as a gentle and reliable neighbor that always stood ready to lend a hand. But having been warned by Baxian, and even Xinzi in a more covert manner, Xiao Hu knew that if there was one person she should avoid meddling with at all cost, it was Hengye Yuemi. "Greetings, Lord-Regent," Xiao Hu said and bowed, attempting to imitate the protocol and manners she'd seen in…

On the way back to the Evernight Palace, the night sky returned to its usual blue. Unable to cope with the Thousand-Faces' crushing pressure, Xiao Hu didn't dare to ask more questions. For most of the trip, Xinzi didn't spare her a glance either—making her wonder why he even bothered to bring her along in the first place. "Will you cut my hair?" Out of nowhere, one odd question broke the silence, making Xiao Hu crease her brows and scratch her head as she wondered if her mind had received so much…

"Lalala, lalala-lalala-lala, oh Zhen'er, follow my tune." Alone in her room, with her white tiger crawling nearby, Yuemi held Xinzi's monk-body, twirling and singing with rattling gaiety and complete abandon. The inert body didn't follow Yuemi's dance, but the Lord-Regent didn't care, pulling its hands and bending its feet so it'd keep up the pace. "Zhen'er, why won't you follow my tune? Oh yes, I forgot, your soul is in your true shell. Sad, I've always wanted you to lead me into one wild dance. Oh,…

"Don't the tens of thousands of Celestial Hall disciples that perished because of you deserve an explanation? Don't the billion of lives that perished in the Great Desolation War triggered by your Infernal Nuns' demonic summons deserve an explanation? Even the wife that you claim to treasure died at the Taiyang clan's hands! Her clan wasn't spared either! When you meet again, what will you tell her? 'A'Lin, I'm sorry for your brutal death, but fate is irresistible. Let's just forget about it and move…

From the moment that the Red-Tongued Devil appeared, the corrosive powers leaking out of its Demon Heart and Evil Qi had been eroding the Mourning Shadow hall disciples' desire to live. Their leaders were no exception, and even Xiao Hu, who could count on the runic defenses of Xinzi's carriage, succumbed to depression. By piercing the Demon Heart, Xinzi's Divine Guardians made this corrosive power increase tenfold. Mourning Shadow hall disciples threw themselves into the Endless Sea, their leaders…
