In the end, Zhao Changhe seriously told her, "Let's create a body for her together, and since Piaomiao emerged from your body, let her call you mother."

Piaomiao couldn't take it anymore and emerged from the sea of consciousness: "Zhao Changhe!"

Zhao Changhe cheerfully held the Piaomiao soul sphere in his hand, gave it a rub, then a kiss: "Let's go, find Jiuyou."

Being pampered like this in the presence of Cui Yuanyang, the Piaomiao sphere turned a slight pink, and Cui Yuanyang's eyes turned heart-shaped as she snatched the sphere and held it in her arms: "Let me play with it, soon I won't be able to..."

Piaomiao had enough, and directly transformed back into a human form, wrestling with Cui Yuanyang on the bed: "You little rascal, you caused me so much trouble..."

"Clearly, sister liked it herself, you should thank me for matchmaking..."

The two beauties, extremely alike, wrestled, a sight truly pleasing to the eye.

Suddenly, Yuan Cheng's voice came from outside the door: "Has King Zhao awakened?"

Zhao Changhe asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Cheng said, "The Bodhisattva has been causing havoc in the tower for two days, asking if King Zhao has completed those tasks and if it's time to let him go."

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "You can release him, right now."

Yuan Cheng hesitated: "Do you really want to release the tiger? King Zhao, think twice."

"It must be released... without releasing the tiger, many of my hypotheses cannot be verified."

...

Back to the Snow Mountain where Jiuyou resides, Ye Jiuyou still sat alone on the summit, allowing the snow to flutter around him, the surroundings totally silent.

The previous liveliness seemed to have been separated by another dimension upon reaching here.

Ye Jiuyou examined Zhao Changhe and his entourage of Piaomiao and Cui Yuanyang, with an unusual hint of astonishment: "You actually managed to separate..."

"Indeed." Piaomiao uncharacteristically gave her a bow: "No matter what plans you had in letting us enter the Heavenly Demon Illusion Realm together, the final outcome still requires our thanks."

Ye Jiuyou replied irritably: "Allowing you to enter the Heavenly Demon Illusion Realm was, for me, to ascertain the True Illusion Mirror, not merely for your divine soul separation. Now you succeeded in separating, yet come to me empty-handed, is this how collaboration works?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I captured the Bodhisattva, and the first question was about the True Illusion Mirror; the answer is that what he gave you was merely the Soul Capturing Mirror, the True Illusion Mirror does not actually exist. Moreover, I learned not only this conclusion but also the causes and effects."

"Tell me."

Zhao Changhe recounted the conversation between Destruction and the Heavenly God, summarizing: "So what you are using now is a part of the Soul Capturing Mirror, harmful and unhelpful. However, I sense that even though you were misled by Destruction regarding the True Illusion Mirror, you must have been aware of Destruction's ambitious motives, and possibly were fishing."

Ye Jiuyou was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "You actually give me an excuse, why can't I be utterly deceived?"

"Because after Destruction was absorbed, you showed no reaction at all... Even if you were cold-blooded and heartless, it wouldn't be to this extent, you'd at least do something for appearances."

"Not necessarily. Yin Kui died by your hands, and I didn't make an issue of that with you either."

"... What connection is there between us, what ties do you have with Snow Eagle?"

"What ties do I have with you?"

Zhao Changhe helplessly said: "Why hide it from me, you must be waiting for Snow Eagle and the Bodhisattva to take action... One of the main significances of my trip to the Heavenly Demon Illusion Realm was to observe what they are doing. Destruction is weaving his net, and you're setting yours too..."

"Why are you so certain?"

"In my heart, Ye Jiuyou must be a demon stirring up chaos, not a passive puppet quietly sitting atop Kunlun awaiting change." Zhao Changhe said lightly: "The reason you don't say anything is simply because what you're doing isn't good, and you fear I would ruin it."

Ye Jiuyou suddenly smiled: "You do think highly of me... Even though, in front of you, I basically failed at everything, what exactly do you overestimate?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I will never forget how tense Ye Wuming was when he knew you made an appearance. Your previous failures were mainly due to Ye Wuming's constant interference; without Ye Wuming, I cannot fathom the extent of what you could achieve."

Hearing this answer, Ye Jiuyou did not look pleased. Looking up thoughtfully, he asked: "So will you interfere?"

Zhao Changhe said: "How about we make another deal?"

"Speak."

"Lend me the Jiuyou Abyss for a while... for what you wish to do, I will assist you."
