My lord, spare his life!

However, there are differences in the furnace and cauldron.

Are Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West the same as Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West: The Sequel?

Han Wu had a similar thought at this moment.

Someone like Lord Zhang, who could kill a fool with a single spear thrust, even if her son were to wander around with gold, no one could steal it. Tsk, the safest guarantee in this world is indeed having a strong fist. Han Wo closed his eyes and calmly stated everything.

He then asked, "Does Your Excellency intend to bestow any favor upon Fan Shuyan?"

Zhang Yang appeared calm and composed on the surface, but her mind was actually starting to go blank. She asked in bewilderment, "What is a blessing?"

"Naturally, it is rain and dew."

Zhang Yang stared at the dialogue in the system log, silently reading it more than a dozen times, barely managing to figure out what Hanwo was referring to—the humans in this world had the same problem as those observation samples, they all liked to use metaphors while talking.

This is outrageous to bully NPCs!

"It has been exactly seventeen years since I was born."

well known-

She was an NPC born in a non-30+ game world. Whether her birth date was the day she gained self-awareness or the game's launch date, plus the time she traveled through time, Zhang Yang counted on his fingers and realized it was about seventeen years, which meant she was seventeen years old? As for the fact that she was a teenager from the moment she was "born," Zhang Yang overlooked that.

Han Wo: "Seventeen years?"

"Yes, seventeen years ago, I was still a minor."

Every world has its own rules.

In today's world, the average lifespan is short, only thirty or forty years. Both men and women must complete all processes within this lifespan as much as possible, so reproduction mostly begins in the teens. However, the world observed is different.

Life expectancy is almost ten times that of the rest of the world.

Anyone under thirty is considered a minor.

The observation sample shows that it is illegal for minors to engage in sexual activity!

She emphasized, "Minors are not allowed."

As an NPC created from a small-scale game production, Zhang Yang should theoretically abide by the laws and regulations of the world she was observing, right? Moreover, she is just a being composed of a string of data.

The underlying code should not contain propagation instructions?

What is the purpose of the developers inserting this code into the NPCs?

"Since Uncle Yan's condition can be alleviated with my star power, let's just keep it this way. I don't find him troublesome." According to the laws and regulations of the game's world, Fan You is still a minor.

Han Wo: "...What you say is very true, Lord Prefect."

I considered all sorts of possibilities, but this was the one answer I never thought of.

If it were someone else who said it, he would have just taken it as a casual excuse, but when Zhang Yang said it, he was actually... not very surprised? Fan You had the flavor of a traditional feudal scholar, while Zhang Yang had the air of a corrupt patriarch who adhered to feudalism.

Han Wo clicked his tongue inwardly.

A short while later, Zhang Yang made another startling statement: "According to your guess, the 'Descending Stars' curse stems from an imbalance of Yin and Yang. In other words, if I wanted to, I could be the natural nemesis of all 'Descending Stars'?"

Han Wo said, "It's just a guess, and it might not be correct."

If Zhang Yang were a pure enemy, he would be more than happy if Zhang Yang really had this ability—while she could certainly recruit some people tormented by the Stars' Descending Calamity to drive her around, most people would only want her dead, wishing they could devour her! Because she alone cannot bless everyone in this world, because not everyone's Stars' Descending Calamity is only harmful, there are always people who benefit from it.

This heresy must either be eradicated or be exclusively possessed.

Han Wo was also happy to see her die without a burial place.

Now, Zhang Yang is not a pure enemy; Han Wu's surrender has created a conflict of interest between them. Until they find a better place to go, Zhang Yang and he are connected by a thread of mutual benefit.

For his own sake, he had to keep Zhang Yang's secret.

Han Wo gently advised, "This method is currently only effective against lustful ghosts. As for the other celestial beings that bring misfortune, its effectiveness is still unknown. A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind. Your power is not yet secure and your foundation is not yet established. We must wait patiently for the right time and not be too hasty."

Zhang Yang nodded: "That's natural, but—"

"Does Your Excellency still have doubts?"

Why am I in this situation?

Could it be related to the fact that she is an NPC?

"The world is vast and full of wonders; there are even people more unique and bizarre than my lord." He said this, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Besides Zhang Yang, the person Han Wo had seen with the strongest yang energy also possessed yin energy, however faint it might be; yin and yang coexisted within their bodies. Zhang Yang was different; she possessed only yang energy, without a trace of yin.

This was completely beyond Hanwha's previous understanding.

How outrageous is it?

Even a stone contains both yin and yang energies. It can be said that as long as living beings exist and can come into contact with objects outside themselves, their energies will circulate and exchange, the only difference being the amount. For example, if Fan You moves closer to Zhang Yang, the latter's dissipated yang energy will touch him, causing a change. Similarly, if someone with abundant yin energy talks to Zhang Yang, the yin energy dissipated from their body will more or less touch Zhang Yang.

However, what was supposed to happen did not happen.

Her attributes were so simple that they seemed to have been deliberately eliminated.

It is known that yin alone cannot grow, and yang alone cannot produce.

and so--

How did Zhang Yang manage to live to be so old?

Han Wo was so curious that he added a few more words: "Your Excellency should be careful... It would be best not to personally lead troops into battle as before, as it would easily expose your special abilities. In folk tales, Your Excellency's unique constitution makes you a one-of-a-kind furnace in the world..."

He explained it more clearly.

"Furnace and cauldron is not a good word."

The battlefield is the place where the most celestial beings descend.

Zhang Yang retorted, "Isn't it said that for cultivators, the dantian is the furnace/cauldron? The golden cauldron is close to the Niwan point, and the Yellow Emperor cast nine cauldrons. Why wouldn't 'furnace/cauldron' be a good term? As for my own safety, there aren't many people in this world who can defeat me, are there? What am I afraid of? In the early stages, we have few people, and even the boss... the lord has to do everything personally, which is unavoidable. I feel more at ease having him oversee things personally. Besides, I don't like sitting in the rear, feeling restricted..."

The essence of PVP lies in the passionate clash!

Han Wo: "..."

What should I say?

Does high skill breed daring?

Upon hearing this, Han Wu did not offer any further advice.

Because he ignored Fan You's warning and told Zhang Yang everything, Fan You, who had intended to conceal the truth, was furious. No sooner had Zhang Yang left than the other man came knocking on his door…

Han Wo sneered: "Concealment is concealment, deceiving the emperor is deceiving the emperor. There is absolutely no reason why deception can be excused as 'for the sake of the lord.' On what grounds is Lord Fan preventing the Prefect from knowing the truth?"

Fan You choked badly.

By the time Zhang Yang heard the news, the conflict had already ended.

All I know is the final result—

"Shuyan pushed Fulong and even took his wheelchair?"

"What? His wheelchair? That's my wheelchair!"

? ?(?w?)

I'm taking a break for Labor Day, so there will only be half an update today _(:3」∠?)_

PS: There really is a male lead in this story; he's practically the female lead's flesh and blood.
