The wedding ceremony was prepared very quickly. In just a moment, the entire palace was decorated with lights and filled with joy.

All civil and military officials have arrived, standing in the Golden Palace, bowing and congratulating.

The queen was wearing a bright red imperial robe, a glazed gold crown on her head, and her face was full of smiles.

"My dear ministers, please take your seats!"

At this time, Yu Beiming appeared.

He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn when he arrived: a black shirt and black trousers. He stood at the end of the hall, out of place with the entire scene.

The queen herself came down from the throne and asked him with concern: "Why don't you change into your wedding dress? Don't you like it? It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, I can have it redone. Or, if you like your dress, that's fine. I'll have them make it for you based on your style."

Her tone was so gentle and her eyes were so sincere.

She stretched out her fair and soft hand to him, and said with a smile: "Come, hold my hand, and I will take you to accept the worship of all the civil and military officials. As long as you are willing, I can give you the throne, and let you become the king above all others, standing at the pinnacle of power. And I..."

She lowered her head and smiled, like a water lotus that was shy in the cool breeze:

"I am willing to retreat to the harem, bear children for you, and share the joy of family life with you."

The beautiful queen confessed her true love and offered the entire kingdom as a betrothal gift.

Any man would be moved by it.

But Yu Beiming is an exception.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I can't stay. This place doesn't belong to me."

"But you clearly promised just now, and I fulfilled my promise and sent them away."

"I deceived you."

"You have to leave here. Are you reluctant to leave your original world, or are you reluctant to leave her?"

"A little bit of both."

Yu Beiming bowed his head and apologized, "Your Majesty, I am really sorry for failing to live up to your deep affection and friendship. I can give you a treasure as compensation."

"In my eyes, no treasure is as important as you!"

The queen was still smiling, but her eyes were cold: "It doesn't matter if I can't keep your love, I just want to keep you!"

As she spoke, her wide sleeves shook in the air.

Then, a semicircular barrier appeared in the sky, completely covering the entire palace.

"I can see that you are a cultivator and have reached the Nascent Soul stage. But even so, you alone cannot break through the power of this barrier."

"Do you know why I agreed so readily to let your companion go?"

"Because then you will be isolated and helpless, and you won't be able to escape from here."

"What a pity, the person you like left without even looking back at you."

"Since she is so cruel and unkind to you, why do you have to be with her?"

"Is it her appearance that you like? I can become her, too."

As she spoke, the queen's face transformed into that of Sang Feiwan. Not only did they look the same, but even their voices and tones were exactly the same.

Yu Beiming's appearance was reflected in those beautiful eyes.

She used Sang Feiwan's tone and asked him affectionately: "Bei Ming, are you willing to be with me?"

Yu Beiming looked at her, but his eyes remained indifferent.

He coldly pierced through the illusion she created: "You are not her, and she is not you. No one in this world is irreplaceable. Even if they have the same appearance and the same tone of voice, they still cannot replace each other."

"Why can't they replace each other?" the Queen was puzzled.

Yu Beiming pointed at a soldier behind her and said, "If it's the same, why can't you turn the soldier behind you into my appearance, so that he can be your husband and stay with you forever?"

The queen didn't even look at the soldier behind her, and snorted coldly: "How can others be compared with you?"

As soon as she said this, her expression suddenly changed: "So in your heart, I am also like this? Not worthy of being compared with her?"

Yu Beiming said truthfully: "In my eyes, no one is worthy of being compared with her. If one day you meet a man who truly loves you, then in his eyes, no one is worthy of being compared with you."

The queen's features returned to their original state and she sighed, "You speak so bluntly, but I can't get angry with you."

“Beiming,” she pointed at the barrier in the sky, “If you can find a way to break out of the cocoon, I will set you free.”

"A word is settled!"

After Yu Beiming finished speaking, he summoned a black long sword, then held his breath and concentrated all his spiritual power on the sword, shouting: "Break!"

The sword energy, as powerful as a bamboo, slashed towards the barrier in the void.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, the barrier remained motionless, but the sword energy was rebounded, causing Yu Beiming to retreat three steps. A trace of blood also flowed from the corner of his lips.

The queen frowned: "You have internal injuries? Then how dare you fight so hard?"

Yu Beiming put two fingers together, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips nonchalantly, and raised the sword again.

The queen shouted, "Are you crazy? Do you want to die?"

She snorted softly, "Even if you try your best, you can't break this barrier. Give up and stop struggling."

At this moment, a golden light streaked across the night sky like a meteor.

It landed above the palace, outside the barrier, and turned into a slender figure.

Sang Feiwan lowered her eyes and spotted Yu Beiming at a glance among the princes, ministers, guards and palace maids from a distance.

She frowned slightly: "Did your internal injury relapse?"

Although the blood had been wiped off, she could still see a faint trace of blood at the corner of his lips.

"Why are you back?" Yu Beiming was a little surprised.

Sang Feiwan said: "Jiang Shu and Zhou Peng have left safely. I have no worries, so I have to come back. Besides, the eight girls have not been found yet. It will be difficult for me to explain to their families if I go out. What's more..."

She paused and said, "Besides, I can't just leave you alone."

Although the tone remained calm, to Yu Beiming's ears, it seemed as if a myriad of tenderness melted into his heart.

Sang Feiwan shouted to the queen: "Since he doesn't want to stay, please don't force him."

The queen did not have such a good attitude when facing Sang Feiwan.

She shouted coldly, "You go back on your word and have no credibility. You dare to come to me to snatch people? Humph, do you really think I don't have any means to deal with you?"

Sang Feiwan said coldly, "You were the first to capture an innocent person and force him to conceive. Your methods were cruel! You like someone and you insist on keeping him regardless of his wishes. What's the difference between you and bandits?"

"You are a bandit, and you are the first to commit injustice. What credibility do we have?"

She drew her sword with a swish: "Either let them go, or I will wipe out this place!"
