[New skill detected. Do you want to learn it?]

“Learn!”

Zhou Han chanted in his heart. After learning this skill, he could escape Xi Yao’s control.

He was a little excited as the skill entered his body.

The commotion woke up Xi Yao, who was lying on Zhou Han.

Their eyes met. At this moment, Xi Yao was even more beautiful and moving.

However, her next words made Zhou Han extremely unhappy.

“Zhou Han, I didn’t expect you to be so useless!”

A mischievous smile appeared in Xi Yao’s eyes as she complained unhappily.

Zhou Han: “…”

He had actually been mocked.

There was no way to refute it.

‘Am I useless?’

‘You’re the one whose level is too high, okay?’

No man wanted to hear such a conversation, especially an expert like Zhou Han.

“Are you unconvinced? Then I’ll give you another chance to prove your strength!” Xi Yao took in the change in Zhou Han’s expression and teased.

“Again?” Zhou Han’s heart trembled and he was a little flustered.

Wouldn’t he be reduced to ashes?

Xi Yao had just tasted the Forbidden Fruit and tasted it. This feeling was very good.

The heat in her eyes was blazing.

It was as if it wanted to eat Zhou Han alive.

“Listen to me obediently!” Xi Yao smiled evilly.

She released a huge soul pressure and suppressed Zhou Han.

Then she leaned forward…

“Your Highness, show mercy!” Zhou Han screamed.

Xi Yao ignored him and continued…

For the sake of his life, Zhou Han did not hesitate.

He immediately chanted the incantation and prepared to activate the [Heavenly Dragon Escape Technique].

“Watch my dragon might. It’s invincible! I can gallop through the vast world! Heavenly Dragon Escape!”

However, the imagined escape technique did not appear.

But there was a system prompt that stunned him.

[Prompt: Your current body is injured and you are in a weak state. After using this skill…]

[There is a chance of disintegrating directly. Do you want to use it?]

Damn, was it that bad?

Zhou Han knew that there was such a restriction.

However, he did not expect his health to be so poor.

Xi Yao was too ruthless!

If he did not use the Heavenly Dragon Escape now, he would die on the spot. If he used it, there was still a chance of survival.

As he hesitated, another system prompt sounded.

[Detected that you are doing something special.]

[I recommend that you use the ‘Primordial—Earth Yellow Pill’ in the package. It will have a good effect.]

Because he had been thinking of escaping, he had forgotten about this pill.

After the system’s reminder, Zhou Han immediately checked.

The pill was Divine-grade.

The effect was indeed extraordinary.

He immediately enhanced it ten times.

The attribute data slowly appeared, and the effect was even more powerful.

[Primordial—Earth Yellow Pill +10]

[Grade: Divine]

[Description: A divine pill carefully developed using a powerful secret technique from ancient times. Countless cultivators have used it and said it’s good.]

[Effect: After consuming it, your body will return to its peak state and stamina will be increased immensely. It will be endless.]

[Description: Repeated consumption of the same type of pill is ineffective.]

“Very good. I won’t exchange it for a Supreme-grade Dharma treasure!” Zhou Han was overjoyed.

Perhaps he really did not have to take the risk to use the Heavenly Dragon Escape Technique to resolve his current predicament.

“What are you laughing at?” Xi Yao was puzzled.

“Hehe, you’ll know soon.” Zhou Han regained his confident smile.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the pill.

[You took the ‘Primordial—Earth Yellow Pill +10’.]

[Your physique is strengthening…]

Boom!

In about ten seconds, the modification process was over.

A roar came from his body, and abundant power surged.

He was back to his peak condition, or even better.

“Ah! You—”

“How did you become so…”

Xi Yao was pleasantly surprised.

She could feel it clearly.

“If the roles are reversed, I’ll let you know what cruelty is!” Zhou Han’s eyes were filled with a malicious smile.

He directly turned passive into active.

“Ah!”

“It hurts!”

…

This battle darkened the sky, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Looking at the sleeping Xi Yao, he was afraid that she would not wake up for a while.

Zhou Han tidied his clothes and stood up refreshed.

This time, he did not even need to use the Heavenly Dragon Escape Technique and easily escaped.

The enhanced Primordial—Earth Yellow Pill was awesome.

Even the powerful Xi Yao could be subdued.

This felt very comfortable. It was even better than obtaining a Supreme-grade item.

“After wasting so much energy, I naturally can’t return empty-handed!”

Zhou Han glanced at the items on the ground and his eyes lit up. He did not stand on ceremony and directly picked them up.

[You have obtained a 9-star Supreme-grade Dharma treasure, Immortal Binding Rope.]

[You have obtained a 9-star Supreme-grade Dharma treasure, the Black Tortoise Armor.]

“I’m so happy that I picked up two Supreme-grade treasures. Now they’re both mine. How wonderful!”

Zhou Han was overjoyed. After suffering so much, everything was worth it.

He scanned Xi Yao’s delicate body again. The quality of the clothes she was wearing was also extremely high.

However, they were all women’s clothes and were not suitable for Zhou Han.

Moreover, Zhou Han felt it was a little unkind to take other people’s clothes, so he gave up.

Next, he glanced around and found nothing else useful.

Zhou Han left the Melody Pavilion in satisfaction.

He looked at the system’s time. He had already been in the [Sovereign Palace Ruins] for more than eight hours, mainly because he had spent too much time with Xi Yao.

“I only have an hour. I have to hurry!”

“I wonder if any treasures elsewhere have been plundered.”

Zhou Han was a little anxious. The ruins of the Imperial Palace only opened once every ten thousand years!

Naturally, he had to maximize the benefits.

“Master, you’re finally out? I was so worried about you!”

Seeing Zhou Han, Mei Ji hurriedly ran over, her eyes filled with concern.

“Yes, it’s fine now. Let’s continue to the Dharma Treasure Palace!”

Zhou Han stroked Mei Ji’s head and said with a smile.

“Master, I think I saw a phantom behind you just now!” Mei Ji said curiously.

“What? When did you see it?” Zhou Han stopped in his tracks, his expression changing as he said solemnly.

“When you walked out of the Melody Pavilion, I couldn’t see you anymore. Am I seeing things?” Mei Ji blinked and said curiously.

“Yes… let’s leave this place first!” Zhou Han had a bad guess in his heart. He immediately stopped looking at the Melody Pavilion and left as quickly as possible.

Just as Zhou Han was about to disappear from sight, at this moment, at the entrance of the Melody Pavilion, a graceful figure appeared from the void. It was Xi Yao’s appearance.

“Finally, my ‘Acacia Zither’ has been refined to perfection. Zhou Han, I really have to thank you!”

Xi Yao smiled like a flower and muttered to herself.

Then, she looked at the other sleeping Xi Yao in the Melody Pavilion.

That was one of her incarnations that she had deliberately set up in the [Sovereign Palace Ruins].
