Gu Ruoyun finally stepped out from her sorrow when she remembered this. She held the little fellow firmly in her arms as a sharp light flashed across her chilly gaze. "Cang Ming, show yourself now!"

Cang Ming, show yourself now!

Shatter!

After Gu Ruoyun had roared angrily, she felt the scene before her gradually breaking apart. It shattered suddenly like a mirror and even the scene behind her slowly disappeared.

Only the little beast in her arms gave her a sense of security...

"Yun'er."

An anxious cry pierced through the sky to land in her ears. It was a familiar and unforgettable voice which caused her soul to tremble.

A peerless-looking face immediately appeared in her view when she opened her eyes.

The man's demonic eyes were filled with anxiety as he held the woman in his arms in a tight embrace. His voice was filled with concern as he asked, "Yun'er, have you finally come out of it?"

Gu Ruoyun paused for a moment to stare at the silver-haired man dazedly. Her eyes were still filled with anxiety and she clutched the man's hand firmly.

"Xiao Ye, what on earth is going on?"

Qianbei Ye curled the corners of his lips and his red eyes stared straight at the woman in his arms as he explained, "You had fallen into Cang Ming's illusion. Everything you had just seen was not real."

The man's words finally gave Gu Ruoyun some assurance. However, even though she understood that everything she had just seen was from an illusion, that heart-wrenching pain that she had felt was so real.

She knows that if she does not defeat Cang Ming, the scene from the illusion would become a reality.

"Is that why you had reminded me over and over again to not believe in everything I see?" Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that straight away?"

Qianbei Ye shook his head as he stared tenderly at the woman in his arms. "Yun'er, you can only step out of the illusion when you become aware that you're in one. If I had clearly described Cang Ming's tactics to you, you would have remained stuck in that illusion forever and would never be able to leave! Besides, this little fellow was able to help you leave that illusion."

Qianbei Ye lowered his head to look at the little thing in Gu Ruoyun's arms as the smile on his face grew even more pronounced.

Mengmeng's presence allowed him to let go of his worries with her!

"Squeak, squeak."

Mengmeng lifted its head proudly as if it was taking credit for its achievement. It looked absolutely complacent and was so arrogant that its tail was close to rising up into the sky.

Zixie looked at Gu Ruoyun and sheepishly explained, "Little girl, you should also take into account of how the illusion is formed! In that illusion, everyone was under Cang Ming's control. Be it the Vermillion Bird or me, everything that we've said to you had come from Cang Ming's own mouth before it was then communicated to you via the people in the illusion! Furthermore, as you were placed in the illusion, the illusion could influence your thoughts as well."

Under most circumstances, Gu Ruoyun would never have failed to notice the peculiarities! After all, the Vermillion Bird would never have addressed the Azure Dragon as the Azure Dragon but by his personal name instead when she was speaking to Gu Ruoyun.

This alone could have exposed the peculiarity in the Vermillion Bird...

Unfortunately, Gu Ruoyun was in the illusion and was being influenced in both her thoughts and emotions. Otherwise, she would have seen through the illusion much sooner.

"Hehe." Cang Ming sneered and his lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. His countenance was a little pale as he continued, "Gu Ruoyun, if you had died in that illusion, you would not have to endure any more agony. Now... You've asked for it!"
