189: Forcibly breaking down a door is unacceptable.

The Purple-Clad Young Girl tilted her head, her scallion-white finger lightly tapping her temple.

She furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, deep in thought for a moment.

But soon, she felt that this was truly too taxing on her brain cells.

"Agh, I won't think about it! I won't think about it!"

The young girl shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake out all those messy memories from her head:

"I finally managed to sneak out to play, why should I think about these old, rotten affairs?"

For her, if she couldn't figure something out, she wouldn't think about it; this was her life creed.

Thus, she very coolly cast these doubts to the back of her mind and shifted her lively big eyes back onto Chu Qianqian.

Seeing that Chu Qianqian was still looking at her with a face full of vigilance.

The girl waved her hand with great familiarity and explained with a grin:

"Oh, elder sister, don't be so nervous. I have no ill will toward you."

She pointed at the little Xiao Bai in Chu Qianqian's arms, who was still playing dead, and spoke the truth:

"Me, I indeed just sneaked out from the Upper Realm... cough, came down for experience."

"The landing spot was right near here. Originally, I planned to go directly to that city ahead that looks decent enough to wander around and find something good to eat."

"But on the way, I saw you holding an extremely rare Heavenly Fox cub, circling around this snowy plain like a headless fly."

The girl spread her hands:

"You know, this kind of Divine Beast is very rare. Out of curiosity, I hid my presence and followed you all the way. I followed you right into this cave and saw you talking to yourself in front of this broken door. I really couldn't hold back, so I came out."

After explaining her origin, the Purple-Clad Young Girl blinked her big eyes, leaned forward, and asked with a face full of gossip:

"Hey, speaking of which. Who was 'that bastard' you were talking to yourself about just now?"

The girl glanced at the tightly closed bronze gate:

"Could it be that in this Lower Realm... there's some powerful Formation Master or locksmith who can break this level of ancient Restriction?"

"No!"

Chu Qianqian's expression suddenly stiffened.

Admitting she wanted to find Lu Yi for help? That would be more painful than killing her!

Moreover, if this girl with an unfathomable background knew Lu Yi had the key, wouldn't Lu Yi be in danger?

Although she didn't want to admit she was worried about him.

"You heard wrong!"

Chu Qianqian's eyes flickered as she stammered to cover it up:

"No... no one. I was just... just complaining that this door is too hard to open!"

"Oh... I see."

Seeing she couldn't get any answers, the Purple-Clad Young Girl didn't care too much.

Her attention was quickly drawn to the magnificent bronze stone gate.

"Tsk tsk, it looks quite intimidating."

The girl walked to the gate with her hands behind her back, as if looking at a newly acquired big toy.

Then, she reached out her fair and slender finger, intending to touch that gate covered in Restrictions directly, without any protective measures!

"Watch out!!"

Seeing this, Chu Qianqian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Although she felt this girl was a bit strange and sharp-tongued, the other party hadn't shown any clear killing intent so far.

Out of instinct, she hurriedly called out a warning:

"That's an ancient Restriction! Don't..."

"Boom—!!"

Before Chu Qianqian's word "touch" could fully leave her mouth.

The girl's finger had already tapped on the bronze gate.

In an instant! The dormant, complex patterns on the stone gate seemed to come alive, activated instantly!

A burst of purple lightning and black Evil Qi intertwined, rushing straight at the girl's face!

However, just as this destructive power was about to touch the girl's fingertip.

"Buzz—"

The seemingly ordinary, crystal-clear jade bracelet on the girl's wrist suddenly lit up with a soft yet indestructible milky-white light screen.

The light screen looked as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it seemed to contain the Great Dao Laws.

"Puff."

The violent attack crashed into the light screen like a mud cow entering the sea, melting instantly and being neutralized effortlessly.

The girl was not blown away or turned into ashes as Chu Qianqian had expected.

She only frowned slightly, as if she had accidentally touched static electricity, and quickly withdrew her hand.

"Ouch!"

The girl shook her finger, put it in her mouth to blow on it, and complained:

"So numb! Why does this broken door even discharge electricity? It's not friendly at all!"

Chu Qianqian, standing aside, was dumbfounded, her jaw nearly hitting the ground.

"Just... numb?"

Since the experience of "physical contact" was extremely poor, the girl's Young Miss temper flared up.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

The girl snorted coldly and took two steps back.

"Clang—!!"

She flipped her palm.

A long sword, its whole body flowing with the brilliant Power of the Stars, with what seemed like a miniature galaxy reversing around the blade, and emitting a heart-palpitating aura, appeared out of thin air in her hand.

"Since it won't open, I'll just smash it open!"

The girl casually waved the Star Sword in her hand, Sword Qi crisscrossing, as she said with an indifferent face:

"This Miss hates these things that play at being mysterious the most! Watch me split it with one strike!"

"Wait!!!"

Seeing this wealthy young lady about to resort to violent demolition over a disagreement.

Chu Qianqian's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, her voice even changed its tone.

If she used a Divine Artifact of this level for a forced bombardment, the door would certainly open, but the spatial structure inside would likely collapse too!

By then, all the treasures and Legacies inside would be swept into the spatial turbulence and destroyed!

"You can't! You absolutely can't!"

Chu Qianqian rushed forward regardless of everything, spreading her arms to block the girl:

"Usually, behind such doors lies an unstable independent space! If broken by force, it will cause the space to collapse! Then everything inside will be destroyed! The loss outweighs the gain!"

"Hmm?"

The sword in the Purple-Clad Young Girl's hand stopped in mid-air.

She tilted her head and thought about it, feeling that what Chu Qianqian said seemed to make some sense.

"Space collapse... that indeed is quite troublesome."

Anyway, she only came here out of curiosity and boredom to find some fun, not because she truly lacked that bit of Opportunity.

"Alright."

The girl shrugged and turned her wrist.

That terrifying Star Sword instantly vanished, as if it had never appeared.

"You're right. It's indeed unnecessary and not elegant to blow this place up for some junk."

Since the door couldn't be opened or smashed.

The girl instantly lost all interest in this broken door.

"How boring."

She clapped her hands, turned around, and looked at the panic-stricken Chu Qianqian, naturally treating this "local native" as a guide:

"Since neither of us can get in this door, then forget it. You should be a local, right? Then take me to that city ahead for a stroll."

The girl's eyes were sparkling as she said:

"This Miss has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place, so I just happen to need a guide to take me out for food and fun. Don't worry, This Miss is not short of money, you won't lack for benefits!"

Although Chu Qianqian felt helpless and even a bit aggrieved.

Facing this unfathomable girl who was decked out in godly gear and would pull out a Divine Artifact at the slightest disagreement, she didn't dare to refuse at all.

Besides, staying by this wealthy girl's side seemed a bit safer... maybe.

"...Alright."

Chu Qianqian could only nod and resignedly became the guide.

Just as the two were about to leave the cave and return the way they came.

The Purple-Clad Young Girl reached out a hand to her and said generously:

"By the way, we've been chatting for so long and I haven't introduced myself. You seem like a pretty good person, let's be friends."

The girl raised her chin and said crisply:

"This Miss is called Lu Yuan, and you?"
