"Fake, all fake!" Nanrong Biyou exclaimed sharply, turning around.

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu immediately said, his voice tinged with regret, "I know it's fake... The Three-Life Illusion Realm was just an elusive dream to me. But the experiences between you and me in the Three-Life Illusion Realm... I can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion now…"

"Miss You, if you really want to become a Taoist couple with me... then, please allow us to get to know each other again."

"My name is Wang Mu. And yours?"

Nanrong Biyou was silent.

This guy!

Nanrong Biyou's fingers incessantly twisted Little White Snake's tail, curling it into tight rings, like a piglet's...

Little White Snake whimpered and shrank...

"Who wants to become a Taoist couple with you!" Nanrong Biyou snorted coldly. "I can't be bothered to get to know you again. Don't you know who I am?"

"I don't," Wang Mu shook his head.

"Fine, then I'll tell you who I am." Nanrong Biyou took a step forward and declared loudly, "I am Nanrong Biyou, the Great Immortal Bi You, worshiped by countless water monsters and the Demon Clan of the Nine Provinces! I am one of the few Ascension Experts in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, the Great Cultivator most likely to achieve Immortality and attain the Tao! The supreme expert who reigns over the Nine States and Eight Desolates! How could I possibly want to be with... with you... this... this... this mere Qi Cultivation little cultivator..." At this, Nanrong Biyou's voice faltered, and the countless oppressive blades of energy in the air seemed desperate to fall. "...to become your Taoist couple?"

"Ah, well, let's forget about it then," Wang Mu nodded.

"You!"

Little White Snake felt its tail tighten even more.

Nanrong Biyou took a deep breath and continued to look at him. "I have a question for you..."

"Go on," Wang Mu replied.

"In the end... who exactly did you see?" Nanrong Biyou paused, her hand tightening on Little White Snake, unmoving.

Little White Snake enjoyed this rare moment of quiet.

"In the end?" Wang Mu pondered. I remember punching the Gate of Apocalypse, being sucked into boundless darkness by a spatial rift, and then my consciousness blurred.

Whom did I see?

No, wait. I remember Nanrong Biyou didn't seem to join the battle at the end.

Had she already gone back by then?

Why is she asking this?

Wang Mu felt a surge of confusion. How could Nanrong Biyou know what happened after she left? That can't be right. We were all in the Three-Life Illusion Realm; how could she have seen what happened afterwards? Did the Rebirth Mirror cheat for her?

"I don't remember," Wang Mu shook his head.

Nanrong Biyou felt a prickle of dissatisfaction but couldn't really say anything. Given the state he was in, it's normal for him not to remember…

She stroked Little White Snake's head... and for a moment, her mind drifted.

"Um, Miss You..." Wang Mu began, then hesitated. "About that secret concerning the Sword Sect..."

"Why? Are you that eager to know about your beloved Yan?" Nanrong Biyou shot Wang Mu a look.

"Beloved Yan?" Wang Mu looked astonished. "Miss You, what do you mean by that? She is my benefactor who imparted the Tao to me! What 'beloved'? How can you say such a thing? That's outrageous!"

"Then swear that, aside from her being your mentor, you will have no other relationship with her," Nanrong Biyou challenged.

Wang Mu was speechless.

Then, flaring his sleeves in anger, he retorted, "You're doubting my integrity! If I were to make such an oath, it would only prove I have something to hide! I won't swear it!"

"Heh. Then forget it." Nanrong Biyou shook her head and said dismissively, "I don't feel like talking about it now. I'll tell you when I'm in a better mood in a few days."

Hearing this, Wang Mu knew it was probably a lost cause for now. But waiting a few days doesn't really matter, I suppose.

Wang Mu looked at her and suddenly asked, "Miss You, that scar on your face... is it really because of the Emperor Spirit Pearl?"

He suddenly remembered that the Rebirth Mirror had shown her current appearance. The appearance shown by the Rebirth Mirror was the truest one.

"Aren't all experiences in the Three-Life Illusion Realm fake?" Nanrong Biyou was taken aback, then said lightly, "You still believe that? What does it have to do with you?"

"If it's real…" Wang Mu said, "I will find that Emperor Spirit Pearl for you."

Nanrong Biyou's body trembled slightly. She glanced at Wang Mu, scenes from the past seemingly flashing through her mind, then turned her head away without a word.

This fool. Could he really think that old curse would still affect me, an Ascension Expert? Truly... how idiotic!

Despite her thoughts, the hand stroking Little White Snake inexplicably gentled.

Little White Snake closed its eyes, savoring its master's rare, gentle touch. So nice.

"Suit yourself," Nanrong Biyou finally said.

So, it is true, Wang Mu thought.

Theoretically, in the final outcome, after that punch of mine, all the weapons on my body fell off. Who knows where they ended up? If even Nanrong Biyou hasn't found that Supreme Treasure, it probably won't be easy for me to find either… But she gave it to me, and I lost it. No matter how hard it is, I have to try… After all, that item is incredibly important to Nanrong Biyou.

Since she doesn't want to kill me yet, I should try to earn back some favor quickly...

"Then I shall take my leave..." Wang Mu said cautiously, looking around the Water Prison.

"Go where?" Nanrong Biyou said lightly. "Don't you want to know the secret anymore?"

"I do!" Wang Mu's heart leaped with renewed hope.

"Alright, then I'll tell you." Nanrong Biyou said, turning her back to Wang Mu, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Do you know of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect, Jueyou Valley, and Yuanhai Hall—those three Demon Sects?"

"I believe I've heard of them."

"Not bad. So you do know a little."

"Then do you know why all disciples of your Sword Sect are sent here?"
