In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 429 Su Yuan: Please call me Governor! (3.2K views, please subscribe!)

"I...I have met Senior Sen."

After being stunned for a while, Su Yuan realized that Wu Luo Zhenjun would definitely not lie about this matter, so he quickly bowed and greeted him.

Chen Nuoyi was about to speak when she saw the energetic high school girl in front of her casually wave her hand and say:

"They always call me 'senior,' making me sound old. I'm just an eighteen-year-old high school girl."

"Both of you are a year older than me, so I should be calling you seniors."

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "..."

The Thousand-Faced Heavenly Lord's personality is too strange. He is clearly an old monster over three hundred years old, but he insists that he is forever eighteen years old.

Too immersed in the role?

However, since the big shot had already said so, the two didn't dare to argue and could only bite the bullet and say:
"Then, may I ask how I should address you, former... junior?"

The Thousand-Faced Heavenly Lord rummaged through his pocket, pulled out a student ID, and handed it to Su Yuan with both hands.

Upon receiving the student ID, the first thing that catches the eye is a vibrant headshot and the name at the top of the document.

An Xingran.

Su Yuan then looked at the school that issued the student ID and discovered that the school was a real one in the Blue Star Federation.

Moreover, it's not a famous school; it's just an ordinary high school in a first-tier coastal city.

This guy... he probably really goes to high school every day, right?

As a high school student, I encountered the Divine Transformation Lord on campus and embarked on the pinnacle of my life? Why would I have such a dream!
Well, that's how this light novel title with a really strong flavor came about.

Su Yuan handed the student ID to Chen Nuoyi for a look, and said politely:

"Hello, Anxuemei. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to see me."

An Xingran strode up to Su Yuan and whispered in his ear:

"Senior Su, to be honest, I'm a little short on cash lately and I'm taking on a lot of work."

"If possible, could I work for you? My requirements aren't high; room and board are fine, I'm willing to travel for work, and I can fly throughout the entire star system."

Having experienced the shock of An Xingran's performance, Su Yuan was surprisingly not surprised by the part-time job arrangement.

Therefore... he could hire a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord to work for him at a low cost.

No, no, no, you can't think like that.

One must never take advantage of a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord. If one were to bring the other party into the Yuan Sect, the Yuan Sect's fortune would be destroyed in an instant.

"sure."

Su Yuan gave a forced smile.

I'm starting to struggle.

Just then, Wu Luo Zhenjun coughed softly:

"Xingran, stop fooling around. It's time to get down to business, or I'll dock your pay."

"Okay, I'll start now."

An Xingran quickly replied, then said with an embarrassed look:

"Senior Su, I'm currently working under Sister Su. I'll come work for you after I finish the tasks she assigned me."

Sister Su... So Senior Wuluo's surname is Su?

It was a bit of a surprise to find out that we were from the same clan.

A thought flashed through Su Yuan's mind, and then he heard An Xingran say:
"Senior Su, you can start testing my body now to see if I am a genuine high school girl."

Junior, please don't use such strange language. Can you talk about something normal?
I was just checking to see if you had been secretly switched by the Boundless Calamity Venerable.

Su Yuan suppressed the urge to complain and activated the Demonic Thunder, regaining control of this world.

During this process, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Because if An Xingran is switched and realizes that she is a substitute, then no one present can escape, including the invincible Nascent Soul stage True Monarch Wuluo.

After all... this is a genuine Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, and a veteran Nascent Soul expert at that.

Faced with such an existence, cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage simply cannot muster the will to resist.

With a slightly uneasy feeling, Su Yuan first cautiously took a few steps back and scanned An Xingran with his Heavenly Dao Eye.

Then, Su Yuan saw the true form beneath the black-haired girl's high school student exterior.

It was a figure radiating a divine light. The light emanating from her was not dazzling, but it carried an aura that transcended the mundane.

It was a quality that lay between that of a god and a human; she stood there, like a sacred being walking among mortals.

Through this observation, Su Yuan truly realized the power of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Compared to advancing from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, advancing from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage is a qualitative change that is hard for others to imagine.

Take Nan Cang for example. Even if he sacrificed the entire Cold Plum World and devoured the power of nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators in that world, he only dared to hope for a half-step Divine Transformation Realm. He was still far from the true Divine Transformation Realm.

This demonstrates the power and rarity of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Perhaps this is why the Boundless Calamity Venerable focuses on the Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world, meticulously plotting against and sowing discord among them.

After observing for a while, Su Yuan withdrew his Heavenly Dao Eye:

"Junior An is fine."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

An Xingran's slightly tense face broke into a bright, energetic smile once again:
"I knew it! How could an 18-year-old high school girl like me have my identity replaced by an old monster?"

Su Yuan smiled and agreed, but glanced at Wu Luo Zhenjun out of the corner of his eye, giving her a "no traitor" look. Seeing the latter nod slightly, Su Yuan then looked away.

In fact, he had already discussed it with Wuluo Zhenjun. When testing the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords, regardless of whether the other party had been switched or not, they should say no.

Only in this way can we prevent the stand-ins from realizing their true identities to the greatest extent possible.

If the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord being tested is found to be without fault, Su Yuan winks at True Lord Wu Luo.

Conversely, he will act as if everything is normal, and then Wuluo Zhenjun will naturally know the real answer.

Immediately afterwards, An Xingran walked to Nan Cang's body and gently covered his face with her fair hand.

The next second, Nan Cang's face and body twisted, his skin became younger, and his handsome face had a hint of sinister intent.

Exactly the same as Yanhe.

No matter whether Su Yuan used the Eye of Heaven to look at it or used other methods of identification to investigate, he could not find any problems.

The injuries left on Nan Cang had naturally disappeared without a trace.

Clearly, this was a disguise technique at the Nascent Soul level, capable of fundamentally altering a person's appearance, leaving Su Yuan in awe.

“Xing Ran personally intervened, changing not only Nan Cang’s appearance and inner self, but also his fate and even the scenes shown in the river of time.”

"In this way, even if other Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords personally investigate, this corpse will not be exposed."

As Wu Luo Zhenjun spoke, her beautiful eyes turned to Tai Bai Tianji:

"However, we must find a way to clear our names of the Flame Fiend Cult. When you are impersonating the governor of the Cold Plum World, remember to handle this matter properly."

"It's natural."

Tai Baiji nodded slightly, exchanged clothes, official seal and personal belongings with the corpse, and quickly transformed into the appearance of Nan Cang.

Once you reach the position of governor, the official seal itself becomes a powerful tool that strongly binds you to your status.

If the governor were to perish, the official seal itself would also undergo a change, and might even send a distress signal directly to the Holy Law Council.

Fortunately, Nan Cang severed the connection between the two worlds, preventing the signal from being sent out.

This gave An Xingran time to take action.

She completely eliminated the distress signal and made certain adjustments to Tai Bai Tianji's disguise, successfully making Guan Yin believe that Tai Bai Tianji was its original owner, and that the previous owner's demise was just a mistake in judgment.

Thus, Taibai Baiji secretly seized control of the Cold Plum World and immediately lifted the blockade on the main world.

"Junior An, you've been a huge help."

Su Yuan sincerely thanked An Xingran, and then asked:

"Your work should be considered finished by now."

An Xingran waved her hand:
"This is nothing. Sister Su has arranged a lot of hard work for me. Dealing with crime scenes for you is just an appetizer."

"Sigh, it's really tough being a high school girl like me. At the age of eighteen, I'm burdened with an unbearable weight."

Looking at the sighing, long-haired, black-haired high school student, Su Yuan's lips twitched, and he asked as if he hadn't heard anything:

"So, Anxuemei, what's your next job?"

An Xingran pointed at Su Yuan:

"Of course I want to be with you..."

"Together?"

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi exclaimed in unison.

"To ascend together to the Celestial Realm and confront the Holy Law Council."

An Xingran paused for several seconds before smiling and adding the second half of her sentence.

Hey lady, can you please stop talking so dramatically?
Su Yuan gritted his teeth in anger.

After calming down a bit, he suddenly realized the meaning behind An Xingran's words.

Is the Thousand-Faced Heavenly Lord preparing to possess me and ascend to heaven with me?
This...this is way too dangerous!
Even if An Xingran is a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, there is more than one Nascent Soul in the Holy Law Governing Council. If this is discovered, wouldn't the Blue Star Federation lose a Nascent Soul?
Seemingly sensing Su Yuan's thoughts, An Xingran patted Su Yuan's arm and said with a smile:
"Don't worry too much about me. Sister Su's mission for me this time is to protect you. As long as you can get out of here safely, everything is negotiable."

"After all, you are the only person in our Blue Star Federation who has mastered the Primordial Dao, which is ten times rarer than a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

For your own safety, are you going to gamble with a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Having a powerful backer makes all the difference.

At this moment, True Monarch Wuluo spoke:

"Su Yuan, don't think of this operation as too terrible. Don't forget that the fairy skin mask on your face was made by Xing Ran herself."

"This treasure alone can block the prying eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators. If Xingran is attached to you, the disguise effect will only be stronger."

"Even if you are discovered, Xingran has a 90% chance of escaping with you, given her survival skills."

Su Yuan nodded, took a deep breath, and said:
"I'm fine, I can ascend anytime."

As for the fourth-rank official position?
With the top leader of the Cold Plum World being one of their own, a promotion can be easily achieved by finding any excuse.

So, which official position should we choose next?

The position of prefect is too ordinary, and there's no room for him in the job.

The deputy governor of the Cold Plum World is quite good, a fourth-rank celestial official.

Because of Nan Cang's formidable power, no one had ever dared to take this position before, but now...

You should call me Governor now.
