Then, you will belong to me.

Bai Suzhen remained relatively calm as she carefully observed the prison, attempting to find a flaw.

"There are powerful barriers on this cage. Brute force is useless; we must think of another way."

She turned her head to look at Zhu Ganglie. "Pighead, do you have any ideas?"

Zhu Ganglie scratched his head. "I... I only know how to eat, nothing else."

Bai Suzhen glared at him fiercely. "You only know how to eat! Completely useless in a critical moment!"

"Snake spirit, say less! If anything happens to my boss, I won't let you off!" Zhu Ganglie retorted rebelliously.

Ignoring him, Bai Suzhen continued to survey the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, she noticed a corner of the cage looked slightly different. There was a tiny protrusion there, almost invisible unless inspected closely.

"Perhaps this is the breakthrough!"

A surge of joy rose in her heart, and she quickly called Zhu Ganglie and the Horned Dragon over to help.

"Pighead, you have great strength. Come and see if we can get this stone off."

Zhu Ganglie stepped forward, nudged the protrusion with his snout, and pushed hard, but the stone remained completely motionless.

"It won't budge, snake spirit. This thing is too sturdy, I can't move it."

"Useless piece of trash!" Bai Suzhen couldn't help cursing before turning her gaze to the Horned Dragon. "Horned Dragon, you try."

The Horned Dragon nodded, extending its claws to scratch at the stone a few times, only to find the rock hard as diamond, impossible to grip or break.

"This stone... seems to have been reinforced by some strange power. I... am also powerless."

Bai Suzhen's heart sank. Could there truly be no way out?

Just then, she suddenly heard a faint cry echoing from afar: "Suzhen... Suzhen..."

It was Han Yang's voice!

Elated, Bai Suzhen quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

She saw Han Yang standing on the palace balcony, his gaze hazy, murmuring her name.

"Han Yang! Wake up!" Bai Suzhen shouted at the top of her lungs.

Han Yang seemed to hear her voice, a flicker of struggle appearing in his eyes, but it was quickly overwritten by Begonia's voice.

"Han Yang, what are you looking at? Come on, let's continue drinking." Begonia wrapped her arms around Han Yang's shoulders, giggling alluringly.

"Han Yang! Look at me! I am Suzhen!" Bai Suzhen cried out desperately, her voice choked with tears.

That voice struck Han Yang's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Xiao Bai..." Han Yang murmured, an inexplicable wave of guilt welling up inside him.

He looked at Begonia before him—heavily made-up and brimming with seductive charm—yet she felt utterly unfamiliar to him.

Meanwhile, Bai Suzhen in the distance, though imprisoned in a cage, brought him an overwhelming sense of peace and reassurance.

"Han Yang, what are you looking at? Come, let's keep going..." Begonia's sweet, dainty voice sounded once more, her slender fingers winding around Han Yang's neck, attempting to pull him back into her tender trap.

Han Yang shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning, and forcefully pushed Begonia away.

He finally snapped back to his senses, realizing he had fallen under the influence of Begonia's charm art.

"What... what did you do to me?" Han Yang glared at Begonia, his eyes filled with disgust.

Taken aback by his sudden reaction, Begonia flew into a towering rage.

"How dare you push me! Guards, capture him!"

At her command, dozens of guards surged in from all directions, surrounding Han Yang in a tight ring.

"Hmph! Mere trivial tricks!" Han Yang sneer, circulating his internal energy to the extreme.

His eleven thousand years of cultivation granted him power capable of destroying heavens and earth.

"Golden Roc Golden Wing Slash!"

With a furious roar, Han Yang spread his wings. Golden radiance burst forth, and a massive golden sword Qi swept outward horizontally.

Wherever the sword Qi passed, guards were torn apart like paper, their screams rising in an endless chorus.

Begonia's expression changed drastically; she had never expected Han Yang to be so formidable.

With a furious roar, she personally entered the fray, engaging Han Yang in a fierce battle.

Begonia's attacks were like a violent storm, every single move meant to be fatal.

Yet Han Yang showed no fear. While blocking Begonia's assaults, he searched for a way to rescue Bai Suzhen and the others.

With a deafening crash, Han Yang was sent staggering back several steps by a palm strike from Begonia.

"Cough, cough..." Han Yang clutched his chest, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Though Begonia's attack hadn't inflicted a fatal wound, it still caused his internal blood to surge chaotically.

"Han Yang! Are you alright?!" Bai Suzhen shouted anxiously.

"I'm fine!" Han Yang took a deep breath, fighting through the pain as he charged at Begonia once more.

Amidst the fierce combat, Han Yang unexpectedly noticed an inconspicuous protrusion directly beneath Begonia's throne.

A thought flashed through his mind—could this be the control mechanism for the prison?

Seizing the right moment, he kicked hard against the protrusion.

With a crisp snap, the protrusion shattered, and the barrier enveloping the cage instantly vanished.

With a loud boom, the prison door swung open, and Bai Suzhen, Zhu Ganglie, and the Horned Dragon finally regained their freedom.

"Boss! Are you alright?!" Zhu Ganglie rushed to Han Yang's side, asking with deep concern.

"I'm fine, won't die easily." Han Yang waved a hand, his gaze locked tightly onto Begonia.

At this point, Begonia was beside herself with rage; she never imagined that her meticulously crafted trap could be undone by Han Yang so effortlessly.

"Han Yang! You ruined my plans, we are irreconcilable!"

Screaming in fury, Begonia launched another attack against Han Yang.

This time, her assault was even more ferocious, every blow lethal, as if she intended to tear Han Yang into a thousand pieces.

Daring not to lower his guard, Han Yang exerted all his strength to parry.

At that exact moment, he suddenly felt a colossal surge of power erupting from within his body. His cultivation realm broke through right in the midst of battle!

[Ding! Cultivation increased to 12,000 years!]

[Ding! Cultivation increased to 13,000 years!]

[Ding! Cultivation increased to 15,000 years!]

...

Han Yang's cultivation skyrocketed like a rocket, reaching 20,000 years in the blink of an eye!

"This... how is this possible?"

"How can your cultivation grow so fast! How can it advance at such a terrifying pace?!"

Staring at Han Yang in sheer terror, Begonia's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Radiating brilliant golden light, Han Yang looked like a celestial deity descended to the mortal realm, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Looking at Begonia, a cold smirk played on his lips. "Now, it's my turn!"

Before his voice even faded, Han Yang vanished from his spot, reappearing directly behind Begonia.

"Shall you belong to me now?"

Golden wings suddenly unfurled behind Han Yang, blotting out the sky, while surging spiritual energy swept forth like a hurricane.

Before Begonia could even react, she felt a mountain-like force smash into her back, compressing all her internal organs together.

Spouting a mouthful of blood, she was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

She slammed heavily against the wall, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.

Slowly retracting his golden wings, Han Yang looked down at the limp form of Begonia, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk, this little lass has quite a fine figure, just a rather poor temper."

Sauntering over to Begonia, he looked down at her from above.

"You... what do you want?" Struggling to rise, Begonia found her entire body devoid of strength, leaving her with no choice but to glare in terror at Han Yang.

Squatting down, Han Yang used a slender finger to gently lift Begonia's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"What do I want? What do you think?"
