18 - A Yearning to Protect
As soon as she went into her opening sword stance, Zhi Ruo no longer looked like an elegant and fragile princess.
Zhi Ruo became a soft sword. She might be a woman in appearance, yet she was also a sword.
Sharp. Swift. Agile... Heartless!
Yes, she was heartless!
She was a woman who loved the sword and the sword alone.
She was a girl initially abandoned by all. Her mother had died at childbirth, not that her mother was from any great family to start with. Thus, she had no support and was left to fend off the internal scheming within her clan on her own. If not for Zhi Ruo's superior talent and hard work, she would have been just like any of her father's daughters from a concubine... a mere political pawn without a say about her future.
Yes, she is a proud woman. It was because she paved her own bloody path to where she's standing right now! She deserved to be

Devil, Be Nice 19 - KA-BOOM!
A few minutes ago, inside Great Elder Zhu Wei's pocket dimensionUnder Yin's constant badgering, the female disciple called Li'er finally could no longer bear it. She was an alchemist in the first place and she was well-known for her soft heart. With the Patriarch giving her a subtle signal of approval, she gritted her teeth and handed Yin several ripe fruits from the nearest tree for her to snack on."What a good, tasty pear!" Yin exclaimed as each bite caused juice to run down her chin. "So good! I feel like I should be eating this as dessert every after meal."Hearing her words, both Shangguan Ke and Li'er nearly puked blood.This is a Red-Veined Holy Golden Fruit, okay?! What were you expecting? Every after meal? Could you afford it? Could your Grandpa Shangguan afford it? Could Great Elder Zhu afford it? F*ck, even this whole branch of Ming Yue Sect could not afford such luxurious treatment!

20 - I'm Just Getting Back What is Mine How could a porky toddler with a weak, injured body manage to sneak out from the divine sense of a hundred-odd-old fogey with a cultivation base on the peak of the Nascent Divinity? How did she slip out from the radar of a cultivator when she's just a mortal who had not even a wisp of spiritual qi cultivated inside her body? How?! Obviously, it's because... It's because... She is Yin! Even just a fragment of a soul, she is still Yin! She's the daughter of Primordial Chaos! The much loved and hated—well, more on the hated part— existence from the long-destroyed Land of Celestial Deities!

Devil, Be Nice 21 - Operation Ice Age
21 - Operation Ice AgeGreat Elder Zhu Wei’s pocket dimension had completely turned into a white world, like those lands in the desolate north that were blanketed by ice and snow, covered by gloom and silence, and filled with a raging tempest of pure yin qi.Inside, everything was frozen.The plants, the ground, the air... and the people.Triggered by Yin's divine consciousness, all heavenly treasures and precious herbs that contained yin qi self-detonated. Their spiritual energies dissolved into their purest essence form, and the effect was not simply one yin qi plus one yin qi makes two yin qi. No, the qi they contained were multiplied. The indirect energy alone tore apart the edges of the pocket dimension, causing its space to become unstable, inevitably producing void

22 - Failure?The Absolute Yin Physique was like a raging flood dragon wreaking havoc in a mass of land, crazily swallowing and merging with all the great rivers, natural springs and proud lakes of that land in order to exponentially improve itself.On the outside, Yin's body was like an endless pit greedily absorbing the pure yin qi essence from the snowstorm surrounding her. Her skin looked like it had a layer of ice over it. Even her long silky black hair now had icicles forming in clumps.Her tender face flashed from red to white and then white to red, and her dainty brows were knitted together as if she was enduring a pain so immense, she would have otherwise puked blood if not for her willpower.'As if' being the keywords.Yin

24 - I'm Strong! Believe Me!Ming Yue Sect's third princess, Zhi Ruo, was quietly following behind Ye Mo the entire time he was searching.No matter how fast Ye Mo was, Zhi Ruo was always just a little distance behind him. However, even with her willowy body and exquisite movement technique, it was difficult for her to remain neck and neck with him. Especially when they entered the Patriarch's Main Hall, she had nearly lost sight of him several times and had to rely on her divine sense to catch up to him. The icy wind and the thick, white fog did not seem to affect Ye Mo’s speed.He was worthy to be called Sword Flash!His speed could already be said to be the pinnacle of the Divine Awakening Stage! He could probably even rival those of the middle Nascent Divinity Realm, t
