Chapter 495: Spirit Nectar and Soul-Nurturing Wood

The white water curtain had already descended, and Han Li looked at the woman, his eyes returning to their usual cold expression.

“It seems I won’t have the fortune of seeing that. What a pity!” Han Li murmured.

Yuan Yao blushed at his words but then laughed softly, pressing her red lips together as she said, “Brother Han, didn’t you go to the fifth floor with those experts? How did you end up here with this little lady?”

Saying that, she extended a jade-like hand and gracefully brushed through her damp hair.

A flash of white light passed, and her long hair instantly dried. A few strands of dark hair slid across her cheek, contrasting against her snow-white skin, adding even more charm to her beauty.

A trace of appreciation appeared in Han Li’s eyes.

In terms of appearance alone, this woman was definitely among the top beauties Han Li had ever seen. Every gesture and movement was pleasing to the eye, captivating any man’s heart!

“I merely triggered a restriction and was transported here. I was hoping to ask Miss Yuan, where exactly is this place?” Han Li looked around her smooth, jade-like face, his expression calm as he spoke.

“Triggered a restriction?” Yuan Yao’s eyes flickered with a half-smile, clearly not believing Han Li’s words.

Han Li, unconcerned, chuckled lightly and silently fixed his gaze on her.

A faint blush appeared on Yuan Yao’s face.

Han Li’s persistent attitude was giving her a headache.

In terms of fighting ability, she had witnessed firsthand the terrifying insect repelling technique Han Li possessed, and her most skilled charming technique seemed to have no effect on him at all.

She furrowed her slender brows in frustration and reluctantly said, “This is a secret chamber on the second floor of the Inner Hall. You actually came out from such a dilapidated teleportation formation? If I had known, I would have smashed that formation to pieces earlier, so you wouldn’t have taken such a big advantage.” After saying this, Yuan Yao glared at Han Li somewhat unwillingly, evidently still upset about him seeing her body.

Han Li, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard a word, showing no blush on his face. He lazily stretched and pulled his feet from the pool, putting his boots back on.

Just that short soak had restored part of his magical power. Although he wanted to soak a bit longer, he was more eager to find a way out and escape the Void Heaven Hall as soon as possible.

So, Han Li stopped paying attention to this great beauty and strode toward the southern stone house exit.

Standing at the entrance, he glanced out. The sight before him was chaotic and messy.

Outside was a larger stone house, and inside lay a puppet that had been torn apart. Judging by the uneven pits and dents nearby, Yuan Yao must have fought hard to get here.

Opposite this stone house was a stone door flickering with the familiar white radiance Han Li knew well. It was the same restriction glow found on the secret chamber stone doors from the first to the fifth floor.

Han Li hesitated for a moment but then walked over. After observing for a while, he took out the Fragmented Celestial Map from his body, infused it with spiritual power, and gently pressed it against the stone door.

After a flash of white light, the door showed no response.

Han Li sighed deeply. Indeed, once someone enters, escaping from inside using this map seemed impossible.

He also believed he didn’t have the ability to break this restriction, so without a second thought, he turned back and headed for the northern exit.

“What are you doing? That is a powerful formation, not something ordinary people can break. Do you intend to break the formation to seize treasure?” Yuan Yao’s eyes followed Han Li’s figure, blinking her beautiful eyes before suddenly asking coldly.

“I want to leave the Void Heaven Hall! Miss Yuan, do you have a better suggestion?” Han Li answered without looking back as he reached the other exit.
