But since the other party volunteered to deal with the imposter himself, he felt no need to refuse, so he changed his strategy accordingly, which was more prudent.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

Immortal Boat [Luofu], a grotto-heaven eroded by a rift.
A fox-girl walks ahead, leading the gray-haired girl.
Its dark reddish-brown hair swayed in the breeze, and its fluffy tail swayed rhythmically.
She smiled gently and said, "This is the cave heaven that has been eroded by the rift. Now that I have fulfilled my duty to lead the way, I will take my leave if there is nothing else."
She infiltrated Luofu with two objectives: to bring Luofu to its doom and to use the Jianmu tree to obtain an immortal body for herself.
The defenses of the caves related to Jianmu are now weak, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Medicine King's secret transmission has been successfully completed.
She couldn't wait any longer.
"Who said nothing's wrong?" Xing stood with her hands on her hips.
For the somewhat impatient "fox girl," the gray-haired girl's behavior was a bit of an eyesore, but she was not in a hurry to reveal her identity.
Jia Tingyun smiled at her as before: "What is it you need? I would like to hear the details."
Xing shook her head: "I'm fine."
Jia Tingyun maintained her joking demeanor: "It was an amusing joke. But since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Did you say you'd like to stay a little longer to chat?"
“No,” Xing said, shaking her head again, “I don’t want to talk to you.”
"Then this young lady will not linger here and become an eyesore, so I will take my leave now."
"No, you can't leave yet."
Jia Tingyun maintained his smile, but inwardly he was growing impatient: "Why is that?"
Just when Jia Tingyun was about to stop laughing.
The gray-haired girl raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile. With a wave of her hand, a pitch-black portal opened beside her.
"I don't want to talk to you, but my friend has something to say to you."
That was a portal that connected the Immortal Ship to other realms.
As the fake Tingyun watched, a white-haired fox-woman stepped out of the dark portal.
At the same time, a cold voice came from the other party: "You imposter who infiltrated the Immortal Ship with ulterior motives, let me see how many faces you have."
Chapter 132 Do you... want to be cut?
Huanlong, disguised as Tingyun, cautiously observed the white-haired fox-woman who exuded a chilling aura.
The moment the white-haired fox-woman stepped out of the dark portal, the atmosphere instantly became tense, and a battle could break out at any moment.
The air was almost frozen, thick with tension and unspoken hostility.
Just as tensions were rising, the dark rift portal once again drew everyone's attention.
A small head with long, emerald-green hair suddenly peeked out, its large, curious eyes blinking in the tense scene, seemingly completely oblivious to the surrounding tension.
Huanlong and Tingyun's gazes were involuntarily drawn to this sudden, innocent look.
Then they saw a young man gently pick up the curious little one and walk out slowly.
His movements were natural and gentle, as if he were completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around him.
Accompanying him was an elegant woman with indifferent yet profound green eyes. After glancing at the two fox-people, she silently turned her attention back to the little girl with long emerald green hair.
The young man who came out first, carrying the little girl, walked up to Xing and said, "Xiaoya said she wants to play with her older sister. How about you take her for a stroll on the fairy boat?"
The atmosphere was icy cold, but the other party didn't seem to care.
Xing took Xiaoya from the other person's arms, not caring about the atmosphere: "Then we'll be leaving now."
Xiaoya smiled and waved, "Goodbye, Mom and Dad."
Bai Yan waved to Xiao Ya in a very generous manner.
Nguyen Mai raised her hand slightly, then lowered it again, and simply nodded.
After Xiaoya and Xing left through the portal, Bai Yan looked at the real and fake Tingyun who were staring at him and Ruan Mei.
Bai Yan smiled slightly and said calmly, "We're just passing by. You don't need to worry about me and Ruan Mei. Just continue. Although even if you wanted to, you couldn't."
Huanlong frowned. Judging from the battle outside, she had just figured out that the so-called former Tianbo Si fox was a hunting envoy.
However, she knew nothing about this young man.
Judging from the current situation, the other party seems to be very confident in their own strength.
Bai Yan and Huan Long met eyes: "Why are you still staring at me like that?"
He smirked and joked, "I'll only have plum blossom cake stains on my face, not the Jianmu tree you're so obsessed with. Or are you going to go on and on like those fanatical believers, singing long hymns to my body? Your boss probably wouldn't like you doing that."
Although Huanlong, who looked like Tingyun, knew that her identity had been exposed, she did not immediately remove her disguise. She smiled and said, "Guest, you are quite interesting to talk to, but there are some things you are not quite familiar with."
"It smells like a lie."
Bai Yan turned to look at Ruan Mei: "Didn't you ask me before why I didn't just ask the person who remembers to check their memories when I was reading someone else's life?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in Ruan Mei's eyes, her tone carrying a barely perceptible expectation: "So? Are you going to give your dear assistant an answer now?"
"Isn't this the perfect answer? Although it's only one of the reasons. Memories don't lie, and lies are part of their lives."
Bai Yan and Ruan Mei chatted casually, and Bai Yan revealed someone's weakness: "This lie stems from years of honed character, from an unwillingness to accept failure in the pretense, and from the embarrassment of seeking relief under immense pressure..."
Ruan Mei concluded with Bai Yan's words: "Compared to lengthy memories, the lies brought about by this kind of contact make one feel the vibrancy of life more."
"Very clever, my dear assistant. Let's try to guess what this chocolate-filled subordinate is thinking now."
Bai Yan unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons: "What did you glean from the lie just now? There's a reward for the correct answer."
Ruan Mei originally didn't know the true identity of the fake Tingyun, but now she completely understood that as a member of the Genius Club, she could completely figure out the truth based on this and the fragmented details she had recently obtained.
Nguyen Mai summarized it simply: "[Destruction] One of the Star God's messengers is skilled at destroying civilizations from within. Most of those who play tricks will be exposed, and their nervous systems, similar to those of the coronal gyrus, will undergo drastic changes, resulting in emotions of anger and shame."
Seeing his mask being removed, Huanlong laughed and said, "It seems the three of you have done quite a bit of investigation. In that case, there's really no need for me to continue pretending."
Huanlong recalled the joke the other party made about the recent divine battle when she first received them, and realized that the other party might have known her identity all along.
"Oh, it's hostility."
Bai Yan sensed the change in the other party's life coordinates and smiled at Huanlong: "Are you going to attack me? I'm not afraid of being accused of bullying the weak. I really will fight back."
In just a moment, Huanlong felt as if he was suffocating.
As a celestial being, it can be sealed away or blasted into pieces, but it is difficult to truly die.
She had never felt so close to death before; it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the other party could turn her into particles and vanish.
Bai Yan spoke softly again: "All living beings in the universe have given life to the dark cosmos. The towering tree called life grows in this soil. Sometimes, we need to prune away the withered branches and diseased leaves with a heavy heart so that all living beings can grow better."
"Do you... want to be cut?"
Huanlong was slightly taken aback.
The other person then changed the subject: "But today I am not a gardener with shears in hand."
Tingyun understood what her benefactor meant, drew the sword from her waist, and pointed the "scissors" forged from the Emperor's Bow and Life-Giving Arrow at Huanlong.

P.S.: Why is there only one chapter?
Let me explain briefly: It's food poisoning.
Chapter 133 This humble woman is not very talented, but she has some knowledge of martial arts.
Huanlong crossed her arms over her chest, and her fake fox ears twitched slightly.
Facing the longsword pointed directly at her brow, she remained calm and composed: "I didn't expect Luofu to have a second Hunting Envoy. It's truly surprising. It seems that dismantling Luofu from within is not an easy task."
Tingyun's eyes were as cold as ice, but his tone was more inclined to be calm: "So you bewitched the members of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, making them contact other people of abundance, so that Luofu would be surrounded by people of abundance."
"How can you call it seduction? I simply gave them a choice."
Huanlong chuckled and continued, "Although some artistic embellishment was indeed used during the persuasion, isn't their inability to distinguish between lies and truth their problem?"
Tingyun's white fox ears stood up, her tone still cold and aloof. She seemed to have returned to her four thousand years of trials, becoming that resolute and sharp version of herself again:
"You've instigated war, capsized the immortal ship... You're a heinous criminal, yet you remain so calm. Do you really think you can escape unscathed?"
Huanlong chuckled again, giving an affirmative answer: "Of course."
Bai Yan chimed in from the side, "She's the most afraid of death among the [Destruction] Envoys. She came here not only for destruction, but also for the Jianmu tree. It's normal that she would leave herself an escape route."
Despite being exposed, Huanlong remained calm and composed, saying, "It seems this gentleman knows me quite well."
Bai Yan sighed, his simple words revealing the marks of time: "I know many lives, but few truly understand mine. Many people have over-deified me. Akivili is gone, Aha only wants to amuse himself with me, Fuli merely records, and the Venerable Master only cares about the truth of the universe and never about me..."
Huanlong was still taken aback by what the other person said, even though she was somewhat prepared.
It was obvious that the other party seemed very familiar with those star gods.
"Alright, I won't disturb your gathering any longer. My dear assistant and I still have some thoughts to share on the topic of consciousness and the influence of matter on life."
As Bai Yan spoke, he turned around with Ruan Mei and headed towards the other side of the cave.
Before leaving, he reminded Tingyun: "The life-simulating necklace records your original physiological composition. You can use it to restore your original appearance at any time."
Ruan Mei followed him with light steps, paying no attention to the battle between Tingyun and Huanlong, and continued the conversation they had before bringing Xiaoya here:
"The meaning of consciousness and matter to life, idealism, materialism, dual-attribute theory, panpsychism, interactive two-way influence theory... Which one would you like to hear about? But you should already know about these."
Bai Yan left with a smile: "If an intelligent life proposes a word, a thousand intelligent life forms can give a thousand interpretations. These interpretations are all quite interesting. At the same time, the answers given by instinctive life forms through their actions are equally interesting, so I want to hear your answer."
……
Huanlong withdrew her gaze from the two and looked at Tingyun. As someone skilled at dismantling civilizations from within, she was no ordinary person and had already sensed something.
Her smile remained relaxed and composed, but upon closer observation, a complex emotion could be detected in her eyes, seemingly a reassessment of the current situation.
