Chapter 669: Chapter 672: Illusory Realm [Third Release, Please Subscribe]
In the Nine Dragon Ring, within the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House, in the Divine Temple of the True Monarch.
Wu Tian hadn’t expected Qin Yuhan and the others to enter without his permission. They seem quite eager to uncover my secrets.
He sighed helplessly. Since they were now husband and wife, it was time to tell them some things. The only problem was, it wasn’t safe.
In the Immortal Emperor Realm, there were many who knew the Soul Searching Technique. If Qin Yuhan learned Wu Tian’s secrets and her mind was forcibly searched, Wu Tian wasn’t afraid for himself. He was afraid she would be put in danger.
This was for her own good.
Wu Tian continued to search the sleeping chambers of the Divine Temple, where he found a dragon scale. He figured it must have been left behind by the so-called Four Princesses of the East Sea.
As the master of the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House, Wu Tian instantly understood its purpose.
It could transform a Mixed-Breed Dragon into a Purebred Dragon.
It could even cause a fish to undergo a complete rebirth and become a dragon!
Wu Tian nodded slightly and continued to inspect the room, where he soon found two other Supreme Treasures. One was the diamond axe Yang Jian had used to split Peach Mountain, and the other was the Illusory Realm painting scroll that the Queen Mother had once lent to Yang Jian to deal with Sun Wukong.
Picking up the Illusory Realm scroll, Wu Tian discovered that it was a damaged remnant, but it was still usable.
An idea came to him, and he smiled faintly.
This Illusory Realm could create illusions. If it were whole, anyone who entered with selfish thoughts would be killed. But as a damaged Supreme Treasure, it could be used as a tool for pranks.
Wu Tian smiled playfully and immediately channeled his Immortal Spiritual Power into the Illusory Realm scroll!

"Did you hear that?" Suddenly, Si’er heard something and cautiously whispered to Qin Yuhan and the little one.
They both nodded.
Following the faint sound, their gazes fell upon the space under the bed.
Could Wu Tian be hiding under the bed? But why would a perfectly normal person hide under a bed? Does he really have some unspeakable secret?
At this thought, Qin Yuhan, Si’er, and the little one exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding in their chests. They felt they were finally about to uncover one of Wu Tian’s secrets.
They tiptoed forward, careful not to make the slightest sound. When they finally reached the bedside, they nervously bent down to look. But just as they did, a figure emerged from under the bed.
It was a naked woman.
"How can this be?" The three of them froze, stunned.
The color drained from Qin Yuhan’s face, leaving it deathly pale. Hiding a beauty in his golden house—so that’s what he was really doing!
"Impossible! Big Brother would never be this kind of person," Si’er said, feeling utterly betrayed.
"Interesting, very interesting," the little one said with a smile. Her superior intuition seemed to sense something was amiss.
The naked woman smiled at the three of them and asked, "Am I beautiful?"
This person didn’t actually exist.
She was an illusion.
But how could Qin Yuhan and Si’er have known? Even the little one only had a vague inkling of the truth.
Hearing the woman’s question, Qin Yuhan sneered, "Utterly hideous."
Si’er nodded in agreement. "The sight of you makes me want to vomit."
The little one just smiled without saying a word.
The woman conjured by the Illusory Realm was, of course, exquisitely beautiful. Her skin was fairer than snow, her smiling cheeks were rosy, and her aura was as ethereal as an orchid—an indescribable picture of delicate loveliness.
"Am I really not beautiful?" the woman repeated.
Qin Yuhan was furious. A thought suddenly struck her. "There must be someone else under the bed, right?"
Of course! The woman came out, so there must be a man still under there. It has to be Wu Tian. Qin Yuhan bent down to look again. You cheating couple! I’ve caught you red-handed! What do you have to say for yourselves now?
Her heart ached.
But when she looked, there was nothing under the bed.
Qin Yuhan huffed in frustration.
***
In the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House, Wu Tian sensed all of this and chuckled to himself.
He was just about to retract the illusion when he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

BOOM!
Several men in black burst in through the window. They took in the scene, and one of them turned to Qin Yuhan. "My beautiful lady, since your husband is hiding a mistress behind your back, why not trade him for a new man?"
"That’s right. Just come with us quietly," another added.
"The Crown Prince ordered us not to harm you, but if you put up a fight, don’t blame us for what happens," a third warned.
The sudden intrusion of the men in black startled Qin Yuhan. She had once been a CEO, but faced with a situation like this, her mind went blank. She had only recently arrived in this world; it was impossible that she had already made enemies.
Why are these men in black after me? She couldn’t think of a single reason.
"Hey, who are you?" As the queen of this Royal Palace, Si’er was enraged. Their unauthorized intrusion was a direct challenge to her royal power. "You have trespassed here without my decree! That is a capital offense!"
"A capital offense?" one of the men in black scoffed, throwing his head back and laughing with disdain. "Yes, yes, we know. The Xiuyuan Country is a Three-Star Country now and can’t be provoked. But are you aware that your Three-Star Country is still missing a Sacrificial Spirit? Without a Sacrificial Spirit, who will recognize you as a Three-Star Power?"
Si’er gritted her teeth. It was true that most Three-Star Powers had a Sacrificial Spirit. She had been searching for a willing candidate to become Xiuyuan Country’s Sacrificial Spirit, but it was an incredibly difficult task.
"With or without a Sacrificial Spirit, you have no right to barge into the Royal Palace!" Si’er refused to back down, arguing her point forcefully.
She always kept her Jade Pure Kunlun Fan with her. As she reached for it, one of the men in black moved like a flash of lightning, pressing a large blade against her fair, delicate neck.
"We did our homework. We know you have an immensely powerful Supreme Treasure, that fan of yours. Did you really think we’d give you a chance to use it?" the man said coldly.
They had come prepared.
Another of the men turned back to Qin Yuhan. "Now, are you ready to come with us?"
"Don’t be ridiculous." Although frightened, Qin Yuhan’s heart was resolute and her gaze was firm. "I told you I won’t go with you, and I mean it."
The men in black exchanged glances.
One of them explained, "You are a respectable woman who rarely leaves her home. However, our Crown Prince has men even within this Royal Palace. One of them saw your beauty and secretly told him, and that’s how you caught his eye."
"The Crown Prince?" Qin Yuhan murmured, finding the situation absurd. What an undeserved disaster! Trouble just shows up at your door for no reason. Her eyes turned cold as she said, "I don’t know any Crown Prince. I’m already married. Get out."
"Married?" Another man laughed when he heard this. "You might not know our Crown Prince’s particular tastes. He actually has no interest in unmarried maidens. No, he much prefers other men’s wives—young married women, you could say."
