Ye Yang was eager to leave, but Ye Xuan detained him, imparting a crash course on clan etiquette to prevent Ye Yang from embarrassing himself and their family during his journey.
Not only was Ye Yang tasked with welcoming his little sister and her sect mbers, but he also had to serve as an escort warrior, responsible for safeguarding the Tatanka clan mbers during their journey.
Ye Xuan instructed, "The First Elder will accompany you on your journey to the Spirit Fairy Sect, so be sure to et up with her imdiately after departing from here."
Ye Xuan questioned, "You an to leave now?... It's quite late, past midnight already."
Ye Xuan retorted, "So what?... This isn't the mortal world, where we're bound by the need for sleep or fear of the dark."
"Since you're leaving tomorrow, this is the perfect opportunity to et her," he declared. "Now, go!"
Ye Yang nodded and turned to leave, but was halted by a sudden "Wait!" He turned back around to face his father, wondering what he wanted now.
Ye Xuan's gaze fell upon the creature on Ye Yang's hand, resembling a puppy, and he asked, "Where did you get that... thing?" He pointed at Hell; his tone laced with intrigue.
Ye Yang fabricated a story, "I found him near the city gates, looked like he was lost. I figured I'd take care of him, raise him as my own." His tone was casual, but his words were far from truthful.
Ye Xuan sensed a subtle, mysterious energy emanating from Hell, but he couldn't quite pinpoint its nature. One thing was certain, however - Hell was the offspring of a spirit beast.
Yet, Ye Xuan's mind raced with questions, "I've never seen a beast like him before... his aura feels otherworldly, unlike anything I've encountered."
"Was it definitely alone when you found it?" Ye Xuan pressed, his eyes narrowing with caution. "If its mother is lurking nearby, we could be facing a catastrophic attack on the city by an enraged spirit beast."
Ye yang nodded in yes.
Hell is in mind, "your mother, you mother*ucker, don't bring my mother in this farce of yours." He glared at Ye Xuan.
But Hell, with its large, round eyes, gazed up at Ye Xuan with an endearing intensity, as if glaring at him. Ye Xuan's expression softened, and he added, "Make sure to take good care of it. Who knows, it might beco a powerful ally in the future."
As Ye Yang nodded and departed, Xu Li gazed at his receding figure, a pang of regret stirring in her heart.
Ye Yang thought to himself, "I should probably check on Mother, but no, I'll go see the First Elder first and then swing by to see if Mother is back." He nodded to himself, deciding on this course of action, and headed towards the First Elder's room.
As he walked, the familiar sound suddenly rang out: [Ding].

Ye Yang looked down at Hell, who was lounging around with an air of nonchalance. What caught Ye Yang's attention was that Hell appeared to be blissfully unaware of the system's presence. This discovery unexpectedly filled Ye Yang with a sense of relief.
Noticing Ye Yang's fixed gaze, Hell responded with a defensive tone, "What's with the glare? I'm into girls, not guys." Hell shot back a confused glance, unsure why Ye Yang was looking at him with such intensity.
Ye Yang snapped back to reality, "When did I say that?" he shot back at Hell, incredulous at the creature's nonsensical assumption.
Hell retorted, "Then why are you staring at like I'm your long-lost lover? Your gaze is practically burning a hole through !"
Ye Yang mocked him with a fake laugh, "Haha, oh man, that was a good one! Nice try, Hell. Alright, enough joking around, let's get moving."
Hell gazed at Ye Yang with a look of amusent, as if watching a clown at a circus. "It's you who needs to get moving, not , stupid Zombie."
Ye Yang's face scrunched up in confusion as he looked at Hell, "Zombie? What's that supposed to an?"
Hell let out a lazy sigh, "Never mind... I'm taking a nap." He then closed his eyes, effectively shutting down the conversation.
Ye Yang ignored Hell and focused on the system window. The tasks were straightforward, but he noticed a concerning change: since incurring the Curse of Heaven, he would no longer receive cultivation level increases as task rewards.
He made up his mind, deciding that being close to his sister was more important than gaining favour with so unknown scion of the Holy Land. With that, he dismissed the task from his thoughts.
Ye Yang stepped into the courtyard of First Elder Eva Angel, a ravishing foreigner celebrated for her breathtaking beauty, which had captivated the hearts of many within the kingdom.
Ye Yang's advance was blocked by Eva Angel's personal guard, a mysterious woman dressed in ninja garb. "Stop right there," she ordered, her tone uncompromising.
"What brings you to the First Elder's chambers?" she asked, her gaze piercing as she assessed Ye Yang's intentions.
The guard's presence shattered Hell's peaceful slumber, and he gazed towards the ninja-clad woman. As he took in her appearance, he sensed sothing familiar emanating from her - a sensation that stirred a mory, long dormant.
Hell's eyes narrowed as he whispered to himself, "So, they've discovered this world as well." His attention was drawn to the guard's chest, where a faint, yet recognizable Slave Mark was embedded - a seal infamous in his holand.
Ye Yang, oblivious to Hell's thoughts, approached the guard and announced, "I'm here to confer with First Elder regarding tomorrow's expedition to the Spirit Fairy sect."
[Notice]
Hell: "Dear Zombies... No, sorry, Dear readers, stop behaving like a zombies and show your support."
