Traveling Back Early: Forcing the Young Empress to Sign a Lifetime Servitude Contract

80: Eating Meat: Ji Li’s Sacrifice (Long Chapter)”You...?”

Ji Li exclaimed in surprise;

Feeling the warmth on her back and the hot breath that flew into her ear, she was so startled that she hurriedly took a step forward before turning around to look at Chen Qingxuan.

”Weren’t you not coming in?”

”Since you insist I come in... then I’ll come in!” Chen Qingxuan said while looking around, ”How did you find this place?”

This Secret Realm was like a sealed cave.

But directly ahead of the two, there was a passage wide enough for two people to walk side by side, stretching as far as the eye could see.

”Back then, I had nothing to do and thought about exploring the Yao Race’s forbidden zone. By chance, I discovered that Stone Pillar that stood out like a crane among chickens. I never expected it to be the entrance to a Secret Realm...”

Ji Li recounted the process.

Then, she looked at Chen Qingxuan: ”Do you sense that aura?”

”I sense it.”

Chen Qingxuan slightly frowned and said in a deep voice, ”Such a rich life aura... There are clearly no living beings within a hundred miles outside... Yet such a dense Life Qi exists here... It’s too strange.”

If the Secret Realm had a dangerous aura, it wouldn’t be surprising;

But it’s precisely an incredibly pure life aura.

Probably no one would find it believable!

”I’ve already checked. Since I left last time, there have been no traces of anyone else entering... Follow me.”

Ji Li took the lead and walked forward.

Chen Qingxuan followed closely behind, ”How far did you explore last time? What’s at the end of this passage?”

”I...”

Ji Li found it somewhat difficult to speak;

Facing Chen Qingxuan’s curious gaze, she ultimately confessed honestly: ”I didn’t reach the end... I fainted.”

”What?”

Chen Qingxuan was instantly struck as if by lightning.

In an instant, he became alert, ”What did you encounter that made you faint?”

”Emm... It was just a Bell Sound ringing... and then I fainted.”

”?”

Chen Qingxuan was stunned again.

A Bell Sound?

It must be known that even decades ago, Ji Li had already become the Demon Lord, and her strength was unquestionable.

Yet she fainted because of a Bell Sound...?

If not heard with one’s own ears, who would dare believe it?

As if sensing Chen Qingxuan’s concerns, Ji Li reassured him: ”Don’t worry, this time we are prepared... We just need to be careful of the Bell Sound.”

”Do you believe that yourself?”

Chen Qingxuan couldn’t help but laugh.

Even if they truly withstand that strange Bell Sound, what dangers lie ahead... are hard to say!

”Anyway, we’re already here.”

”Sigh, today I’ll risk my life to accompany a beauty!”

”Hmm?”

Ji Li paused her steps and looked at Chen Qingxuan.

Chen Qingxuan said seriously: ”Don’t misunderstand. I mean there are only seven years left until the world’s reshaping... If I truly die in this Secret Realm, it’s my own fate.”

A faint blush appeared on Ji Li’s pink cheeks, ”The world reshaping in seven years... You can’t be serious, right?”

”Do I look like I’m joking?”

”...”

Facing Chen Qingxuan’s serious gaze, Ji Li fell silent.

Although due to past experiences, she found it hard to trust Chen Qingxuan, especially with statements as shocking as the world’s reshaping...

But for some reason, her heart inexplicably raced at this moment.

Duang~

At that moment, a long and heavy Bell Sound suddenly approached from afar.

”Be careful!”

Ji Li urgently reminded.

As she spoke, she instantly unleashed the thick Demonic Power within her body, creating a visible barrier in front of them.

Last time, she was knocked unconscious... This time, she absolutely must not repeat the same mistake.

After all, compared to last time... This time, there’s a young and strong fellow by her side.

Boom——

The Bell Sound was formless, yet like thunder!

When it collided with the barrier, it erupted into a deafening impact sound, and a fierce wind suddenly arose.

But strangely, the ground where the two stood at this moment, which should have trembled under such a powerful impact, remained completely motionless.

”Hmm?”

Chen Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and activated his Nine Profound Pupils——

Illusion!

Immediately after, a second Life Bell attacked.

Chen Qingxuan suddenly grabbed Ji Li’s jade-like hand. The latter quickly glanced back, ”What are you doing? Don’t mess around now... Quickly resist the Bell Sound.”

”Look clearly.” Chen Qingxuan tightly held her hand and projected a stream of Mental Energy into her eyes, ”There is no Bell Sound. That’s an illusion.”

”What?”

Ji Li’s pupils slightly contracted;
