When Lin Shen and the others left Immortal-Returning City, eight days had already passed.
During these days, Yan Li had been completely compliant with Lin Shen. Even though her injuries had mostly healed, she didn't dare disobey his orders and was deeply intimidated by him.
Lin Shen, on the other hand, was wary of Yan Li turning against him. The problem lay in his uncertainty about being able to kill her, so he could only feign an attempt to tame her, pretending to make her serve him.
He would have preferred to kill Yan Li and rid himself of the trouble once and for all. However, Yan Li was a being of ultimate power—not someone you could kill on a whim. Even gravely wounded, killing her was an exceedingly difficult task.
As it stood, this outcome was already fortunate enough. Yan Li feared him, which was advantageous. If he couldn't use her, at least he had managed to escape Immortal-Returning City.
