"I didn''t go crazy!"

    "Then what exactly did you say?"

    "I just told him you are my best girlfriend!"

    "And what else?"

    "You like boys!"

    Suddenly realizing something, Li Cang slapped his own face and painfully pinched his brows.

    Although this woman speaks the truth, every word leads others astray!

    What kind of karma did I accumulate in my past life?

    How did I end up becoming friends with such a crazy woman in this life?

    If my reputation gets ruined in the future, it''ll all be this crazy woman''s fault!

    Thinking of this, Li Cang couldn''t help but grind his teeth at Ye Wan Ning angrily.

    "I''ll deal with you tonight!"

    Hearing these words, Ye Wan Ning trembled all over and without hesitation turned her head.

    "Shui, why don''t you stay at my place tonight!"

    "Huh?"

    Hearing someone calling him, Zhu Haomiao snapped out of his melancholic mood, blinked blankly, and happened to see Li Cang giving him a coquettish glare, making his heart skip a beat.

    Manly sister... seems not too bad...

    No, no!

    Shoo away temptation!

    Shoo away temptation!

    "Shui! Shui!"

    "Huh? What''s up?"

    "I''m saying, why don''t you stay at my place tonight!"

    "Huh? Why?"

    Because a bad guy is planning something tonight!

    Ye Wan Ning opened her mouth, glanced at Li Cang who was standing nearby with his arms folded and laughing coldly, and quickly came up with an idea.

    "You''ve cooked us such a feast, I must thank you!"

    "Uh..."

    Your way of thanking is letting someone stay overnight?

    Is there any chance of a midnight raid or a kiss?

    Probably not, in that case...

    Zhu Haomiao pondered seriously, analyzed carefully, and finally asked sincerely.

    "Sister, can it be cashed instead?"

    Ye Wan Ning almost choked on his words, and Li Cang couldn''t help but burst into laughter beside them.

    "Pfft~"

    Hearing his friend''s laugh, Ye Wan Ning glared at Zhu Haomiao angrily and embarrassed.

    "Stay one night, and I''ll give you ten thousand bucks!"

    *Swish~*

    The clear-eyed young man''s eyes sparkled brilliantly, and his expression instantly became solemn.

    "Sister, money isn''t really the main thing. I''m just compassionate and can''t bear to turn someone down..."

    However, Ye Wan Ning didn''t want to hear his excuses and gave him an annoyed look.

    "Shut up!"

    "Okay."

    Zhu Haomiao happily closed his mouth and continued to dig into the food, while Diao Chan was lying on her back like a balloon, still licking her lips.

    Across from them, the two watched Zhu Haomiao slowly but steadily continue eating. Clearly uncomfortable from being too full, they couldn''t help but feel a tinge of envy.

    "The Innate Food Bucket Saint Body, so envious! Why don''t I have such a talent?!"

    Ye Wan Ning rested her cheek on her hand, dreamily watching the boy feast, lamenting.

    Li Cang, on the other hand, crossed his arms and leaned against the chair, scrutinizing Zhu Haomiao with a peculiar look.

    At first, he thought oil was just hungry, to have such feelings for this kid...

    But now, it seems this crazy woman''s judgment is truly sharp...

    Even though he''s still quite immature in many ways, hints of his potential are beginning to unfold.

    In a trance, Li Cang thought of a raw jade encased in stubborn stone, with just a glimpse of its luster inspiring endless longing in people.

    If he fully grows up, maybe oil really found a good partner.

    But... this kid''s mental state is also worrying, occasionally going crazy...

    Wouldn''t it be a bit dangerous to have two crazies together?

    Across the table, noticing the peculiar looks from the two across, Zhu Haomiao blinked and casually changed the subject.

    "By the way, sister, can I ask if you know how to open the door?"

    Ye Wan Ning, resting her face with a hand, was slightly surprised and looked at him strangely.

    "Why suddenly ask this?"

    "Uh... just want to enrich my supernatural knowledge... seems like you can''t find related information online."

    Hearing this, Ye Wan Ning sat up straight, organized her thoughts, and then began to speak at a leisurely pace.

    "Actually, in this matter, countries have tacitly locked down the information to prevent private sects from spreading excessively, even causing Illusion Realm to invade reality, creating major supernatural disasters..."

    "However, you know the level of secrecy abroad, the once ''forbidden knowledge'' is now everywhere, anyone who pays can get it, let me give you a brief introduction."

    Pausing for a moment, Ye Wan Ning pondered before deciding to start from the root.

    "Since the ancient mythological era, the legends of various ''Cave Heaven Blessed Land'' and ''Small Worlds'' were actually the private Illusion Realms of religious sects."

    "Initially, some geniuses with exceptional spirituality happened to encounter a coupling of reality and Illusion Realm, accidentally entering and leaving spiritual anchors, thus connecting the Illusion Realm with reality."

    "But such passages are extremely fragile and require constant maintenance by the creator, causing mental stress every time someone passes through, limiting its use to a very small number of people."

    "This is also why, before Spiritual Energy Recovery, ordinary people, though exposed to various myths and legends, rarely saw anything firsthand."

    "For thousands of years, Extraordinary Power circulated in a very limited scope, requiring both bloodline and talent."

    "And after Spiritual Energy Recovery, the emergence of permanent Gates turned the once small pipeline-like passages into mighty rivers, leading to the large-scale development of Illusion Realms in the recent decades."

    "So, opening the door actually has two routes, one is the ''Private Sect'' or non-permanent Gates used in the early stages of development."

    "Mainly using a spiritual imprint as an anchor, with the transcendent as a bridge, creating a small-scale passage."

    "By the way, the Ascension Competition Illusion Realm you''re participating in now is at this stage." sea??h thё n?vel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "And the advanced one is the large-scale permanent Gates, its principle is similar to what I explained last time about the Anchor of Faith."

    "Using the faith recognition of native intelligent beings in Illusion Realm as an anchor, supplemented by replicas of the ''Gate of Thousand Realms'' from the real world, the same doorframe you pass through every time at Boundary Pass, thoroughly connects the Illusion and reality barrier..."

    "But the principle is quite complex, I haven''t specifically studied it, I can only give an overview, just listen casually."

    Listening to Ye Wan Ning''s slow narration, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a long time, carefully sensing the faint links of faith in the void, formulating an idea.

    With faith in Illusion Realm as the anchor and using the authority of the Book of Black, it seems he already meets the conditions to open the door.

    Next time he enters the Illusion Realm, he can give it a try...

    Pondering his inner plan, Zhu Haomiao nodded and polished off the remaining leftovers.
