WARNING: very strong dub-con. I'll mark the scene so you can skip it if you like.

Yuan Xuelan was heaving, his muscles already sapped of strength.
He gritted his teeth, staring at the terrible statue as it stood deceptively still in the middle of the hall. Over the past few moments, he had found out a couple of things.
For one, the statue would blink in and out of reality or space as soon as he took his eyes off it. He couldn't confirm it outright, but despite its hulking size and massive weight, the statue never left any marks on the floor or walls. There were no indents around its feet, no scars left on the walls aside from Yuan Xuelan barreling into them.
Another thing was that annoying barrier that reflected any attacks that came too close. It would instantly throw Yuan Xuelan backward with a force that he could hardly retaliate against. Frustration was gnawing, but he already pulled out a hefty arsenal of tricks.
Nothing worked.
Ahhhh I realized that I stopped putting warnings for violence and gore because that would be like...every other chapter. I know some people are extra sensitive about this kind of stuff so I slapped it there but ahh...ahem anyway. I will yet myself out of here.

EDIT: BIG EDIT AND BOOBOO. Whoever told me something was missing in chapter 180 THEY WERE RIGHT. I had somehow magically skipped a whole chapter due to the madness that was happening at the time T__T;; I squeezed it in just now into chapter 180 UGH because you can't fix your dumb mistakes after going premium
AND I'D BEEN SO CONFUSED as to why numbers weren't matching up I'm so stupid ughh
I'm literally publishing this chapter SUPER EARLY just because of my mistake UGH once again I'm super sorry! Please re-read chapter 180 for the missing content.
