In the arena, Qi Yanran looked at the Le Xiaoxue in front of her. With a woman's discerning eye, she found this girl to be incredibly enviable.

Her skin was as fair as snow, her hair as fine as silk. The plain black clothing she wore had subtle black embroidery, exuding a quiet elegance.

The thing that made Qi Yanran feel slightly jealous was that Le Xiaoxue seemed very young, appearing to be in her early twenties, which meant she looked younger than herself by several years at least in appearance.

Among the eight substitute witches here, most were around thirty. The more experienced they were, the stronger their power usually was, a common occurrence unless there were special circumstances, but such cases were rare. It would be considered quite exceptional if even one or two appeared.

Although these substitutes were all in their late twenties, they looked like they were around twenty-five to twenty-six and radiated youthful vigor. Le Xiaoxue was simply younger by a few years.

However, women are indeed women; sometimes being a few years younger is a crucial matter, and they take it very seriously!

"You're not my match, admit defeat," Qi Yanran said to Le Xiaoxue. She wasn't arrogant; the disparity was too great.

Le Xiaoxue seemed powerless, let alone god-rank—she might not even be saint-rank. Such strength didn’t fit how she got here.

"Many have told me this, but in the end, they are always surprised by the outcome," Le Xiaoxue said coolly, exuding a sense of detachment that made others feel distant even as they spoke to her.

"Is that so I’ll see what you’ve got then," Qi Yanran smiled and said. She was also puzzled; with such strength, how could one be here

“Then let me start...” Le Xiaoxue said before emitting a sound—a peculiar sound that made others feel entranced.

This was Qi Yanran's perception. Others didn't notice this and thought they were hearing her soothing humming.

This was a mental attack that could make someone instantly fall into an altered state, even under control, leaving one defenseless. No wonder she looked powerless but managed to defeat others; this kind of attack even left signs on god-rank Qi Yanran, and those below were even more vulnerable.

However, Qi Yanran merely showed symptoms. She was momentarily stunned at first before quickly realizing something was amiss and then focused her mind to expel the influence.

"Hmph, so it's like this! I won’t hold back!" Qi Yanran said with a cold smile as she flew over and slapped toward Le Xiaoxue.

Le Xiaoxue was stunned; she hadn't expected her opponent to recover so quickly and retaliate so swiftly. She immediately realized that Qi Yanran's strength had surpassed what she could influence, leaving her no choice but to concede defeat.

She could affect those below god-rank but struggled with them. This she knew well; in the witch selection, even if someone was strong, at most they would be peak saint-rank, which she might have a chance against. But facing god-rank, she had no choice but to surrender.

Le Xiaoxue wanted to admit defeat now, there being no other way when Qi Yanran unexpectedly reached god-rank strength.

What Le Xiaoxue hadn't considered was that Qi Yanran's speed was incredible. Before she could even try to give up, she might be slapped away by Qi Yanran. This would be trouble; she wouldn't die but certainly suffer serious injuries.

This wasn't due to Qi Yanran’s excessive force; instead, she used merely two or three percent of her strength—enough that a mid-saint could defend against it. Even those just entering saint-rank would at most get hurt slightly, not seriously.

But Le Xiaoxue was special. Her strength didn't even reach saint-rank, let alone emperor-rank; she relied solely on her unique techniques for mental attacks and couldn’t possibly win in physical combat.

This would be troublesome...

Le Xiaoxue thought silently, regretting not admitting defeat upon seeing Qi Yanran’s strength.

Why is she doing this

Qi Yanran was puzzled by Le Xiaoxue's motionless state—it seemed as if she'd been frightened into a stupor. But her expression appeared clear; why didn't she dodge then

Qi Yanran didn’t know that Le Xiaoxue’s strength made dodging impossible. She never would have imagined the candidate witch couldn't even withstand a palm with just three or four percent of her power.

Just as Le Xiaoxue was about to close her eyes and Qi Yanran's palm approached, someone called out, causing Qi Yanran to immediately stop.

The person capable of stopping Qi Yanran like this wasn’t many in the world. Now there was only one present: Xianyao.

Everyone heard Xiāoyáo shout loudly at this moment, "Stop!"

Just as Qí Yānrán was wondering why Xiāoyáo had shouted to stop, the subsequent development left her slightly surprised. She saw Lè Xiǎoxuě's eyes suddenly brighten and look at Xiāoyáo.

"You...you..." After saying two 'yous', Lè Xiǎoxuě immediately pounced on Xiāoyáo as if she had seen someone she loved dearly, like they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

From the looks of it, this Lè Xiǎoxuě seemed to have some kind of connection with Xiāoyáo. It was strange; he had been with her since entering the Demon Realm and yet, where did he meet this Lè Xiǎoxuě

However, Xiāoyáo's attitude left everyone surprised. He dodged Lè Xiǎoxuě’s pounce by a side-step. When she failed to do it once, she tried again, but still couldn't catch him out, doing this several times.

"What are you up to What are you coming over for I don’t really know you," Xiāoyáo frowned and asked.

"What’s that supposed to mean You've forgotten. I'm your wife," Lè Xiǎoxuě smiled as she said it, her smile making people feel like they were basking in the spring breeze. The distance between them suddenly disappeared.

Those who knew Lè Xiǎoxuě well were also surprised; no one had ever seen her laugh before, and everything she did was cold and distant.

Moreover, what did she just say She said that she is his wife

This wasn’t only puzzling for them but Qí Yānrán too. Why hadn't she heard about Xiāoyáo having a wife before The answer to this question seemed to appear soon after, but it was still unclear.

"Get lost!" Xiāoyáo said simply and firmly, denying that claim.

No way, is that still something Lè Xiǎoxuě believes in. This guy really has good luck with women, but he doesn’t seem to want this luck at all.

"I won't leave. It was so hard for me to find you; I'm not leaving," Lè Xiǎoxuě said clingingly, making everyone envious once again.

“How did you get here That's strange. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t be able to come here,” Xiāoyáo was puzzled as well, “Also, why did you change your name Lè Xiǎoxuě, what a ridiculous name.”

"I am originally from the Lè family; Lè Xiǎoxuě is a good name," Lè Xiǎoxuě said with a smile.

At this point, everyone seemed to understand somewhat. 'Lè Xiǎoxuě' wasn’t her real name, and those who came here with her were also surprised, but considering they didn't really know much about ‘Lè Xiǎoxuě’s background, it was not very strange.

"Xiāoyáo, what's going on" Qí Yānrán asked at this time. She had already left the stage earlier, and if Lè Xiǎoxuě came out by herself, she had lost.

“I know her; her Demon Song is very strong, but her own strength is weak. You might have killed her with that palm strike, so I told you to stop,” Xiāoyáo replied. This should be the question Qí Yānrán wanted an answer to.

"You're joking right That one palm didn't even use three-tenths of my strength; how could she possibly be this weak," said Qí Yānrán somewhat disbelievingly.

Even if seriously injured, it shouldn’t have been fatal either.

"You don't know, her internal energy is at most mid-Emperor Realm. Do you think she could withstand your attack" Xiāoyáo said.

"…" Everyone fell silent. They never expected 'Lè Xiǎoxuě' to only be at the mid-Emperor Realm level. How did she climb up to this position Those who had been defeated by her seemed to have all been late-stage Saint Realm, does that mean the rumors are false

But then again, considering the power of 'Lè Xiǎoxuě’s Demon Song, everyone suddenly understood. She must have won through this method, but it didn’t work on Qí Yānrán. They weren't sure whether it was because Qí Yānrán’s strength was too high or because she had some sort of immunity.

“What's the relationship between you two Why do you know so much about her” Qí Yānrán looked at Xiāoyáo somewhat ambiguously. She could tell that 'Lè Xiǎoxuě' was special to him; the sudden change in attitude made it clear.

Before, she had treated everyone with coldness and distance, but towards him, she was enthusiastic and wanted to be close to him completely differently— if you hadn't seen this happen yourself, you'd think she was his twin sister.

"We don’t have any relationship. It’s just a little karma. She and I are from the same place; in our place, she is also a female demon overlord. Her name is Black Snow, not Lè Xiǎoxuě," said Xiāoyáo. This 'Lè Xiǎoxuě' before him was actually Black Snow, so when Black Snow appeared before him, he felt very surprised and thought that perhaps he had mistaken someone for her or that she just looked similar to her.

Afterwards, when Black Snow issued her Demon Song, this person in front of his eyes who resembled Black Snow was indeed Black Snow. And now with the way Black Snow acted, he could be one hundred percent sure it wasn’t a mistake.

But right now, he had some doubts. How did Black Snow end up here He wasn't surprised that she would come to this world; he knew how capable she was, and there were very few people who could stop her from doing something if she wanted to do it.
