“What are you doing!”
“I have Fire Element Elites, I’m here to warm you up.” Zhou Hongyu forcefully pulled away his hand and quickly unfastened his outer coat buttons. The Chi Yu Sword lightly flicked, slicing open the underwear along with the straps, then proceeded to strip off his clothes.
“Forget it.” Yan Yu still wanted to struggle, but his limbs had already frozen and had no strength left—he could only use his words to persuade, “This is a test-type Mysterious Realm, it mostly won’t harm human life, I estimate when I’m at the brink of life and death, the environment will change again, then it will be your turn to save me. For now, try to conserve your strength…”
These were all sensible words, but unfortunately, Zhou Hongyu never liked to listen to advice, stubbornly tearing off his outer coat, ripping off his underwear, then tightly embracing him, their limbs entwining.
Although it was to share warmth, this position meant that the outer coat couldn’t wrap them tightly, hence cold air continuously seeped in around their waist, making Yan Yu unsure whether this was making them warmer or colder—anyway, Hongyu was definitely colder.
Feeling the faint shivers transmitted from the other’s smooth, warm body, he silently sighed in his heart and stopped talking.
His consciousness grew heavier and heavier.
————————————
After an unknown duration, Yan Yu suddenly woke from his unconscious state, only to feel someone shaking his body fiercely.

“Yan Yu! Yan Yu!”
“…So annoying.”
Yan Yu slowly opened his eyes, only to find Zhou Hongyu tightly embracing him, her face filled with tears of extreme joy.
The two of them were in a small room surrounded by various Flying Swords, Magic Treasures… many rare and precious items, brimming with spirit light, placed within easy reach, untouched by anyone.
“Why are you still holding onto me!” Yan Yu struggled to stand up, “Count the loot, hurry up!”
“Alright, alright.” Zhou Hongyu also got up and began picking among the treasures around, “Yan Yu, you said you wanted the Magic Treasure, right?”
“Yes.” Yan Yu rubbed his temples, feeling his consciousness still a bit foggy.
But his clothes were all intact, without any signs of being cut by Flying Swords, which means…
Was all that an illusion?
Hmm, such an immersive Illusion Realm, even I, someone who’s been through life twice as an old hand, got fooled—truly worthy of a top-tier Mysterious Realm capable of producing the Great Bright Fire! To replace the Goalkeeper with a life-threatening illusion for the test, that’s indeed out-of-the-box and innovative.
After enduring such torment, let’s see what good items there are!
Zhou Hongyu gathered all the Magic Treasures in one place and turned to Yan Yu:
“All the Magic Treasures I could find are here, would you like to take a look?”
“I just need this one.” Yan Yu picked out a flute from the Magic Treasures, seeing it smooth like jade and flawless white, with red silk tassels hanging on the end, clearly not an ordinary item.
Of course, like this type of Instrument Magical Treasure, it often isn’t the first choice for Assistant Officers. Last year, a Team Monk from the Annan Army, who had been an arts student in music before his Spirit Root was tested, confidently chose an Ancient Zither Treasure, believing he could fully master it due to his understanding of music.
But it turned out that the effect of the Ancient Zither Treasure was to produce countless petals falling down when played—it was actually just a welcoming treasure used by sects when hosting distinguished guests, meant to bolster the scene, but who knew before refining it?
So, everyone still prefers more sharply pointed items like hairpins, shuttles, and Flying Needles, which are obviously attack-type Magical Treasures. Followed by rulers, scrolls, Dharma Seals, and other treasures which, although there’s a chance of randomly getting junk, the overall probability of a good find was still considerable.
Instrument Magical Treasure… who would choose it would be a fool!
Zhou Hongyu saw him pick a flute and immediately furrowed her brows, worriedly saying:
“Are you sure you only want this flute? Take the others too, just in case it turns out to be some useless junk, at least you can switch.”
“How can that be?” Yan Yu laughed, “This is a secret of the Pingxi Army, we had agreed beforehand that I’d only take one.”
“No worries.” Zhou Hongyu said dismissively, waving her hand, “If you don’t say and I don’t say, who will know? What if I secretly hide these Magical Treasures and find a chance to pass them to you later?”
Yan Yu:…
Loyalty, loyalty oh girl! You are the number one cultivator of the Pingxi Army, you should have a sense of the big picture! State treasures, how can you handle them so privately?
I despise you! I must resolutely despise you! Starting today, you are on my super despise list, ranked second next to the unprogressive, marriage-obsessed Eclipse Queen Anna, just below the grand harm of Lu Country, the Demonic Sect Enchantress Zhao Yuanzhen!
“No need.” Although Yan Yu internally lowered his opinion of Zhou Hongyu, his face remained smiling as he waved his hand, “Quality over quantity for Magic Treasures, and the specific effects are also unknown, binding to the owner and then you can’t regret it, trying them one by one would be too wasteful, let the other cultivators of the Anxi Army distribute them.”
“But…” Zhou Hongyu still wanted to insist, but Yan Yu bluntly interrupted:
“A man’s word is his bond, do you want to stain me with a reputation for breaking promises? Be good, listen to me, in your name, hand over these spoils to the Pingxi Army, it’s your duty as the captain of the Phoenix Team.”
“Fine.” Zhou Hongyu was unwilling, muttering that she didn’t care about some damn captaincy. Initially, a command had come down making her assemble a team—had anyone asked for her opinion?
She’d rather use these treasures to boost Yan Yu’s favor towards her, ideally making him feel indebted, thus compelled to commit to her… but since Yan Yu stubbornly refused, it seemed the Pingxi Army would get them cheaply.
