Chapter 125.2: Plotting Against the City of No Return? Courting death
Only a few could stand atop the City of No Return's wall, Chen Huan, Yuan Qi, and of course, Qi Yuan and Little Bride.
Qi Yuan held Little Bride close as they watched over the city. "After twisting screws all day, it feels great to come out for some fresh air."
As always, Little Bride leaned quietly against him. A wooden plaque with a smiley face slid from her sleeve into Qi Yuan's hand.
"If only you could take on a human form," he murmured.

As it was, he was only invincible among those of the same realm. He had never met the White Supreme or the Supreme One, hence he had no idea how powerful they were, or whether they were on the same level as a Yin Spirit. If they were, this game would become very tedious to clear.
"A pity I've already hit the limit of what killing demons can offer. Am I supposed to wipe out the entire population of this world to level up?" Qi Yuan wasn't a slaughter maniac, nor was he that selfish. "If only there were a new farming zone..."
