Thousand layers of routine!!

As the butterfly flapped its wings, the wheel of fate began to turn.

Li Yutong, who thought she controlled everything, flew into Xiao Fan’s secret chamber.

Little did she know what consequences awaited her.

Xiao Fan had set everything up.

Actually, there wasn't much to set up; although these two were strong, they couldn't compare to the Five Elements Exquisite Pagoda. The moment Li Yutong entered, Xiao Fan used the Five Elements Exquisite Pagoda to draw her inside.

The Five Elements Exquisite Pagoda emitted five-colored divine light, forming a powerful, invisible vortex that could draw everything into it.

Oh no!

Li Yutong secretly thought it was bad, but she was still prepared. She immediately took out an Immortal Talisman from her Pregnant and tried to escape.

However, the Immortal Talisman only glowed slightly before dimming, failing to take her away as she had expected.

“Such powerful divine light, it actually swallowed my Seven Profound Boundary-Breaking Talisman.”

This Seven Profound Boundary-Breaking Talisman was her trump card, capable of escaping even a Golden Immortal's encirclement, yet she never expected this five-colored divine light to be even stronger than a Golden Immortal's methods.

What the hell was this?

Without any power to resist, Li Yutong, along with her older sister Li Yuxian, were both drawn into the Five Elements Exquisite Pagoda.

Xiao Fan and the Five Elements Exquisite Pagoda were connected by heart, so anything that happened inside could not escape his eyes.

At this moment, he had changed into a clean white robe, slightly simple but not lacking in elegance, and was holding a scripture, reading it aloud.

To better fit the image of a Zhu Zi, he had dressed himself to appear as if he were utterly defenseless.

He was clearly a Zhu Zi!

...

Inside the Pagoda, no matter how Li Yutong attacked the Pagoda body, she could not cause any damage.

Not only that, the Pagoda’s Five Elements power flowed ceaselessly, nurturing itself.

All the attacks she caused were completely devoured by the Pagoda body, diminishing her strength while increasing its own!

“No, even if I have Medicinal Pills and Immortal Stones, this blind exertion will eventually lead to my demise.”

“I cannot charge blindly; I should use strategy!”

Li Yutong began to search for a way out. The interior of the Five Elements Exquisite Pagoda was extremely vast and had no fixed shape; it could manifest any desired appearance based on the user's state of mind.

With a thought, Xiao Fan immediately changed the scene where Li Yutong was located.

Ancient trees towered, vines covered the ground, and thick mist enveloped the world, making it impossible to discern direction. Li Yutong found herself in a misty forest, and for a time, she couldn't find her way out.

“Oh no, how did I get in here?” Li Yutong secretly thought it was bad.

Just then, the scroll in her sleeve flew out.

The scroll slowly unfurled, and a bright-eyed, elegant, Immortal Qi-filled woman in a long dress walked out from within the painting.

Her demeanor was gentle and beautiful, with a quiet elegance befitting a noble lady. A light purple long dress accentuated her entire graceful presence, making her seem like a painting. Her eyes were filled with gentleness, and simply standing there, she exuded the aura of one whose mind is filled with poetry and literature.

“Sister, you’re out. During these days when you weren’t here, your little sister missed you.”

Li Yutong closed her beautiful eyes and leaned contentedly on Li Yuxian’s shoulder. She pushed her luck, her fair, tender hands reaching down to embrace Li Yuxian’s slender waist, wanting to press Li Yuxian into her own delicate body.

“Sister, hey-hey…”

“Sister, hey-hey hey-hey…”

A blush appeared on her face, and her actions became bolder.

Li Yuxian sighed helplessly and lightly patted Li Yutong’s head. Li Yutong cried out in pain, holding her head and saying aggrievedly:

“Sister, why did you hit me?”

Her two eyes were watery, on the verge of tears.

Li Yuxian said calmly, “No lewdness allowed!”

“Sister~”

“No means no,” Li Yuxian said with a serious and cold expression.

The actions of these two did not escape Xiao Fan's eyes.

Honestly, Li Yuxian gave Xiao Fan a very special feeling; her beauty was self-evident.

More important was her temperament, that feeling of being well-read and having the scholarly talent of a Zhu Zi.

It was hard for him to believe it came from this stunning woman.

“A talented woman? As expected, her reputation precedes her!”

His gaze returned to the Pagoda.

Li Yuxian asked, “Where is this? How did you end up in such a place?”

Under the suppression of the Five Elements power, even with Li Yuxian’s Heavenly Immortal-level Divine Sense, she couldn't see anything beyond a hundred meters.

Coupled with the pervasive mist, visibility was less than ten meters.

Li Yutong said weakly, “I was originally investigating and retrieving the Wu Gods Blood, but I was a little careless and was taken into this Pagoda.”

“What’s the whole story?” Li Yuxian asked her.

Helpless, Li Yutong had no choice but to explain the entire situation to Li Yuxian.

Li Yuxian said faintly, “So we’re trapped, are we?”

“Sister, don’t worry, we’ll always get out. Even if we don’t, it’s no big deal, your little sister is here to accompany you,” she said happily, not worried at all.

As long as she could be with her sister, anywhere was paradise.

Looking at Li Yutong’s silly grin, Li Yuxian only felt a bit of pressure.

“Sister, what do we do now?”

As she spoke, Li Yutong leaned closer again, wanting to press against Li Yuxian.

However, Li Yuxian saw through her little trick, lightly tapping her forehead with her jade finger and pushing her away.

She then took out two Yin and Yang fish, one black and one white, giving her the black one and keeping the white one herself.

“You and I each take one of these Yin and Yang Twin Fish. We’ll search for a way out separately and contact each other once we find it.”

Li Yutong took it, a bit unwilling, and still said reluctantly, “Sister, I’m afraid of the dark. Can we go together?”

“No, you’re not afraid,” Li Yuxian said, with a kind smile on her face.

There was nothing she could do; she could only reluctantly part ways with Li Yuxian and search for a way out individually.

Seeing the two separate, Xiao Fan knew it was his turn to perform.

With a thought, he subtly altered the terrain within the Pagoda. Along Li Yuxian’s path, he conjured a peach grove. Within the grove was a thatched cottage surrounded by a bamboo fence.

Inside the fence, a few chickens and ducks pecked at the dust on the ground, searching for worms.

Xiao Fan, meanwhile, transformed into a young Zhu Zi, intently reading a book by the window of the thatched cottage, holding a brush and occasionally writing a few lines of poetry.

The formation was set!

And to prevent interference, and also to exhaust Li Yutong's energy, he set up various obstacles along Li Yutong's path.

He also used the power of the Five Elements to isolate the world, trapping her within, making it impossible for her to get out.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the fish to bite the hook.

Li Yuxian walked alone, proceeding cautiously all the way, fearing danger might emerge.

If Vicious Beasts had appeared and attacked her, she might have relaxed her guard a bit, but after she had walked half a li.

She found the mist had dispersed, and the path became wide, a smooth journey.

This was too strange.

Therefore, her vigilance grew stronger, stronger than ever before.

As she walked, she arrived before a peach grove. Within the grove was a thatched cottage surrounded by a fence. Inside the fence, two or three chickens and ducks frolicked.

Outside the door, two trees were planted: one was a peach tree, and the other was also a peach tree.

They were in full bloom with pink flowers, swaying in the wind. Pink petals fell like a rain of flowers, carrying wafts of floral fragrance.

The fragrance was intoxicating, serene and elegant, immediately evoking the feeling of living in a pastoral retreat—precisely what Li Yuxian had always pursued.

She walked into the courtyard and found a slender, quiet Zhu Zi inside the thatched cottage, diligently studying and reciting poems.

“In the Peach Blossom Dock, there’s a Peach Blossom Hermitage; in the Peach Blossom Hermitage, there’s a Peach Blossom Immortal; the Peach Blossom Immortal plants peach trees, and picks peach blossoms to exchange for wine money.”

“When sober, I only sit before the flowers; when drunk, I still come to sleep beneath the flowers…”
