"Mm, Qingling, let me take you for a walk. I'm quite familiar with this place — don't want you getting lost."
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing took Chen Qingling's hand and led her forward.
They walked for quite some time before arriving at a forked bridge.
"Qingling, look up."
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Chen Qingling subconsciously lifted her head.
Above them was a canopy of crystal-clear jade, intricately carved with lifelike detail, as if it were alive.
"This… is so beautiful…"
"This is truly the craftsmanship of nature…" Chen Qingling sighed in awe.

Star Luo Imperial Palace
"Eldest Miss, bad news! Zhu Zhuqing… she… she has returned!"
"Is the information reliable? My sister came back to Star Luo City?"
"Reporting to Eldest Miss, the information is absolutely true!"
Zhu Zhuyun frowned deeply. She never expected her younger sister to suddenly return.
Was she not afraid of death?Although Zhuyun truly had no intention of killing her sister, coming back to Star Luo City meant Zhu Zhuqing would have to face both the problem — and her elder sister — head-on.
"Oh right, Eldest Miss! There's also another girl beside Zhu Zhuqing."
"A girl?!"
"Yes! From a distance, she looked very much like the renowned Chen Qingling of the Spirit Master World!"
"Chen Qingling?!"
In an instant, the confusion in Zhu Zhuyun's heart vanished.
No wonder her sister dared return to Star Luo City — she had Chen Qingling to rely on!
With the heaven-blessed Chen Qingling at her side, her sister naturally had no fear!Still, Zhuyun couldn't help but wonder — what was Zhu Zhuqing's purpose this time?Could it be… she came for revenge?
At the same time, Zhu Zhuyun finally understood why she had been feeling uneasy these past few days.
So it was because her sister had brought her backing straight to the capital!
Davis frowned, signaling the attendants to leave, giving them privacy to talk alone.
"Zhuyun, what do we do? Your sister is back — and she's brought quite the formidable person."
"I think she's here to settle accounts for what you've done to her."
"With Chen Qingling backing her, I'm afraid we can't do anything to her!"
Thinking of the rumors about Chen Qingling in the Spirit Master World, Davis felt a chill run down his spine.
Someone even Title Douluo feared — who knew whether her arrival in Star Luo City meant fortune or disaster?
Zhu Zhuyun sneered disdainfully. "What's there to worry about? No matter what, this is still the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Nothing will happen to me."
"As for what exactly will happen, we'll see in the next few days."
"We'll just take it one step at a time."
Davis sighed deeply. "Sigh… Father already knows about our actions. He's quite displeased."
"Displeased?"
"Hehehe… has your father forgotten his own struggle for the throne? Or does he simply not dare face it?"
"This…" Davis hesitated, unsure what to say.
If those words reached the Emperor's ears, he would certainly fly into a rage.
After all, it was his lifelong pain — that he had personally slain his own blood brothers with his blade.
That sorrow could only be understood by the one who lived it.

Inside the Natural Cavern
After admiring the view for a while, Chen Qingling suddenly remembered — she hadn't shared it with her father yet!
Immediately, she calmed her mind and began to communicate with him.
"Daddy! Daddy! Can you hear me?"
Far away, in a grass hut within the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Shengge — who had been sound asleep — jolted awake at the sound of his daughter's voice.
"What's wrong, daughter?"
"Did something happen again?"
"Heeheehee~ Not telling you! You wouldn't understand if I only said it — Daddy, just open the Heaven Screen and take a look!"
Seeing his daughter acting all cutesy, Chen Shengge couldn't help but smile helplessly. With a thought, he opened the Heaven Screen he hadn't used in a long time.
"Let's see what my little girl is up to this time."
The Heaven Screen unfolded, and the sight that appeared before him left Chen Shengge momentarily frozen.
"This is… where?"
"Heeheehee~ Daddy, you don't know, do you?"
"To think the all-knowing Daddy actually doesn't know something!"
"Daddy, do you want to know? Beg me~"
Hearing his daughter's teasing tone, Chen Shengge's fists clenched slightly. "You little rascal! You dare tease your father now?! Seems like it's been too long since I disciplined you — you've forgotten your old man's authority!"
Chen Qingling pouted. "Alright, alright~ I'll tell you. Daddy, this is a natural cavern. Isn't it magnificent? Aren't the jade stones above our heads beautiful?"
She remembered Zhu Zhuqing's words clearly — only mentioning that this was a natural cavern, and nothing else.
This was a secret between her and Zhu Zhuqing.
Her father would only know it as a natural cavern — nothing more.
"Yes, yes, whatever my daughter says."
"You go on and have fun. Daddy won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Chen Shengge closed the Heaven Screen and went right back to sleep, carefree as ever.
Ah, youth truly is a blessing — to lie down and instantly sleep again.
As for whether she might encounter danger in that cavern?Chen Shengge didn't even consider it.
After all, his daughter's strength was undeniable, and her Spirit was the Goddess of Light Butterfly — she could fly!
Even if she fell accidentally, nothing would happen.
———
Inside the natural cavern once more.
Noticing Chen Qingling spacing out again, Zhu Zhuqing called softly,
"Qingling? Qingling? Qingling?"
"QINGLING!!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but in the cavern, the echoes bounced back again and again, pulling Chen Qingling back to her senses.
"Zhuqing, what's wrong?"
"Qingling, were you communicating with your father again?" Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms. She had observed Qingling many times —
Every time she went quiet like that, it was almost always when she was talking to her father.
"Ahahaha…" Chen Qingling let out an awkward laugh.
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you, Zhuqing. I just showed the natural cavern to my father."
"But I didn't tell him it's your secret base — he only knows it's a cavern."
"Um… you're not mad, are you?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled gently. "How could I be mad at you, Qingling? As you said, you only told him it's a natural cavern — nothing else."
"But… Qingling, your father isn't here, yet he can see this place?"
Chen Qingling nodded. "Yes! My father's amazing — he has a screen that lets him see everything I do here. But he rarely opens it."
"Unless something's happened, or I ask him to."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood.
Though she now knew how it worked, it still sounded absurd!A screen that could show her every move?What kind of method was that?!
Wait… could it be another Soul Device?
Thinking of how diverse Soul Devices could be, Zhu Zhuqing finally made sense of it.
She just couldn't understand why Qingling's father had so many of them.
What was he, a Soul Device wholesaler?!
