The moment Li Xuan entered the small stone hut, he spotted the sight within the purple glow deep beneath the ground of the small stone hut.

Amidst the faint purple light shrouded in a mist, there was a tiny space that appeared to be a small room. Originally, this space should have held other things, but they were all gone, leaving only a bed behind.

Moreover, the bed was somewhat tattered, as if it had been violently smashed.

A purple-clothed youth was reclining on the bed, as if asleep.

“Young friend, stop pretending to sleep. Come have some tea and chat with me. Who knows, if I’m happy enough, I might just let you out,” Li Xuan said with a radiant smile.

Inside, however, he was secretly shocked. He could not quite see through the purple-clothed youth. It seemed that the other party was not a Martial Artist but some kind of special being.

How strong the being was remained inscrutable, but it was bound and unable to exert any power—unless the bonds were removed.

Since the being could not wield its strength, Li Xuan naturally had nothing to worry about.

The purple-clothed youth lay quietly, motionless, without even a hint of response, as if already dead.

“Pretend to be dead, pretend to be dead. He can’t see me, he can’t come in. Surely he can’t come in. Don’t panic, pretend to be dead!”

The purple-clothed youth continually hypnotized himself internally.

“I am already dead, yes, I am already dead!”

Hearing Li Xuan’s voice, he did not respond at all and even scoffed in his heart, “With such a trick, you want to deceive me into coming out? Do you really think I’m a three-year-old child?”

“But, where is this person from? Why does he give me an unfathomable feeling? Even someone as powerful as Taicang never gave me this feeling.

“The only one who gave me this vibe was those pair of eyes, eyes so terrifying that Taicang may have died at their hands.

“However, he is completely different from those eyes. He can’t be the same person, but where does he come from? How can he possess such terrifying strength?

“It is certain, he is not a Martial Artist of Taicang, but if he is an outsider, why did I not detect him?

“Although I am imprisoned here, if an outsider were to enter the Taicang Domain, I would still be able to sense it.”

The more the purple-clothed youth thought, the more puzzled he became.

This person is unfathomable; within the Taicang Domain, there should not exist such a terrifying being, one who cannot surpass Taicang’s powers.

If he was an outsider, why didn’t he detect him?

Could it be that this person’s strength is so great that when he entered the Taicang Domain, even he could not sense it?

If this really was the case, wouldn’t his strength be far more formidable than the master of those eyes?

The more he thought, the more unsettled the purple-clothed youth became.

“He couldn’t really have seen me, could he? He won’t really come in here, will he? Pretend to be dead!

“Right, pretend to be dead! As long as I’m dead, he won’t be interested, and he certainly can’t be interested in a dead person, can he?

“He’s not some Netherworld old ghost; how could he possibly be interested in a dead person?”

The purple-clothed youth started to hypnotize himself again.

“I’m dead, I am already dead…”

Suddenly, it seemed as if he thought of something.

“No good, I must look uglier. He surely wouldn’t take an interest in an ugly dead person, right?”

Upon this thought, the purple-clothed youth lying on the bed didn’t move an inch but slowly began to change. If one could see his face, they would discover his entire face wrinkling up, becoming old and ugly. ȐАΝՕᛒĚ𐌔

Li Xuan’s mouth twitched. What was going on with the purple-clothed youth? Why did it feel like his thought process was not quite normal?

Self-hypnosis?

Pretending to be dead?

He couldn’t possibly believe that Li Xuan hadn’t seen him or couldn’t enter his small space?

Upon examining the tiny space where the purple-clothed youth was and the violently smashed, somewhat tattered bed, Li Xuan pondered thoughtfully.

Everything else in the small space had probably been smashed by the purple-clothed youth, including the bed, which he might have considered too essential for lying down and sleeping on and thus didn’t smash any further.

Lifting his foot, he stamped on the ground, sending a force down that trembled through the small space.

“Young friend, stop pretending to be dead and come have a chat with this old man. Don’t you get bored? Don’t worry, I have no ill intentions,” Li Xuan said as the small space shook slightly.

The pretending-to-be-dead purple-clothed youth suddenly panicked inside, “He’s found me, what to do? Should I continue pretending to be dead?”

“No, if I keep pretending to be dead and he gets annoyed and smashes my little house, won’t I be exposed? Forget it, forget it, I might as well go up and meet him.

“Don’t even think you can get any information from me. Playing dumb, I’m quite good at that!”

Thinking this, the purple-clothed youth muttered, “Disturbing someone’s sleep is an unethical act!”

Then, stretching himself with a yawn and looking annoyed as if he had just been awakened by the commotion.

With a flash of purple light, the purple-clothed youth appeared inside the stone house.

He could only appear within the stone house and not leave it. If the stone house were gone, he would have to stay in that small space.

Seeing the wrinkled, old, and ugly face of the other party, Li Xuan’s face darkened as he said, “Young friend, stop pretending to be ugly!”

“Who’s a young friend? I am as old as the Domain itself!”

The purple-clothed youth responded arrogantly.

Regaining his original appearance, his face was handsome, resembling a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, with even a slight feminine touch.

“As old as the Domain? Then how old is this Domain?”

Li Xuan asked cheerily, seemingly just picking up the conversation casually.

“As old as the Domain, this fellow is a bit strange, not like the beings I’m familiar with.”
