Sister, can I be the scabbard too?

Inside Fengmen Village.

Lin Yuan and Senior Sister Hei Yue stood by the lake.

Senior Sister Black Moon stared at the "lake" in front of her, her eyes filled with shock.

The entire polluted lake has turned into a lake of fire.

She had imagined that someone could burn a city to ashes, but she never imagined that someone could turn a lake into a lava field.

The most terrifying thing was that those black flames were completely under Lin Yuan's control.

They burned only in the lake and did not spread to any part of the land.

"Awoo... (Such power...)" she murmured, "Awoo (Is this really something a human could do?)"

"Oh?" Lin Yuan looked at her and spread his hands: "If you're bad at it, practice more. If you can't handle it, don't play."

Black Moon Senior: ...

Lin Yuan looked at his masterpiece with immense satisfaction.

His system notification box was flashing with messages.

[You have purified the pollution (evil Wahaha), your SAN value +10, spirit +3%.]

[You have purified the pollution (human cub blocker). Your SAN value +10, constitution +3%.]

You have purified...

In just a short while, his various stats improved significantly.

But that wasn't the biggest gain.

More than the numerical improvement, the biggest gain was that his Black Sun Flame gained a new mechanism.

Black Sun Flame (Tier 2):

[The Black Sun Flame evolved after you reached Tier 2, possessing even greater power than it did at Tier 1.]

This is the Black Sun Flame, inherited from the laws of the Sun. Its power will be further amplified when you use the Sun's Compassionate Smile.

This flame can be molded into any shape you desire.

This flame can distinguish friend from foe; targets you do not wish to harm will not be touched by it.

"Never extinguished + burn everything + distinguish friend from foe + shape change... So many bugged terms, 666."

Lin Yuan never expected that his special ability would have so many rare terms.

Senior Sister Hei Yue squatted to the side, her eyes filled with envy.

This is only at the second tier, yet Lin Yuan's flames already possess such power.

What about the third tier? And the fourth tier?

What about the tenth rank?

Or even higher?

How strong will he become?

As Black Moon thought about it, she unconsciously looked up at the setting sun on the horizon, her pupils trembling.

Could it be that he will really become the sun?

"Senior Black Moon, what's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked, looking at her.

"Awoo! (Loyalty!)" Senior Black Moon was startled and immediately stood at attention.

Lin Yuan: ? ? ?

"Awoo (cough cough~)" Senior Black Moon laughed awkwardly: "Awoo awoo (I mean, congratulations on becoming so amazing~)"

"Why are you behaving so strangely?" Lin Yuan frowned.

"Awoo (It's nothing~)" Senior Black Moon smiled ingratiatingly, but secretly clenched her dog paws in her heart.

Damn it, I thought that once I awakened the Witch Emperor's power, I would be invincible.

Unexpectedly, there was a master among them!

Even if she transforms into human form and becomes the Empress of the Dog Clan, she will still be suppressed by Lin Yuan with one hand!

How could a dignified empress remain subservient to others for long!

I, Black Moon, swear—

"Oh right, Senior Dog." Lin Yuan picked up Hei Yue in one scoop: "You've been with me for so long, you've certainly put in the effort, even if you haven't done anything special."

"When I have some low-level soul crystals later, I'll let you use them."

"I'll help you break through to the first level of the Transcendent Realm later for fun."

Black Moon Senior: ?

She looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief, unable to believe her ears.

A moment later, she lowered her head and began to sob softly.

"Hey, hey, why are you crying?" Lin Yuan was bewildered and quickly asked.

Senior Sister Hei Yue slowly raised her head, her cheeks flushed, and smiled shyly:

"Awoo~ (No, nothing, I just meant that I, Black Moon, swear to serve you, Master~ I will never have a second thought in this life~)"

"Awoo~ (We'll be master and servant for life~)"

Lin Yuan: ? ? ?

Looking at Senior Sister Hei Yue's blushing face, he felt like he had a million things to say but didn't know where to begin.

I always feel that the creatures around me are all more divine than the last.

Why is that?

"Alright, let's go. We have one hour left before we accept the mission. Let's use this time to maximize our strength!"

Lin Yuan's mind stirred.

Black and red flames then erupted from the lake of fire, coalescing into a dragon's head beneath his feet.

He placed the dog on the dragon head, then manipulated the dragon head to emerge from the lake of fire and move upstream along the river.

He didn't do this to show off.

Rather, it was because the pollutants in the fire lake had been completely burned away by him.

If we want to continue to improve our strength, we have to burn down all the pollution in the river!

[You have purified the pollution. Your SAN value +10, and your spirit +4%.]

[You have purified the pollution. Your SAN value +8, Donkey Demon talent +5%...]

"Ah, this place truly is paradise!"

He tied the red rope that Tang Feixue had given him and opened his arms.

This esoteric ritual implement, the "Love Rope of the Fog Lady," like his sun underwear, possesses the ability to correct cause and effect.

After wearing it, even if someone can see him, they will not be able to see his true face.

If one were to investigate him, they would find that the cause and effect had been completely severed, and no trace could be found.

With this, as long as he doesn't go to the city center to perform for Homelander, there's no danger of his identity being exposed.

……

Upstream of the sewage river in Fengmen Village

Inside an earthen house.

Terrified by Lin Yuan, the yellow and red punks were kneeling naked before the blue punk, kneeling on the ground in apology.

"Third Brother, we were wrong! Please don't kill us! Please don't kill us!"

"Yes, Third Brother, please, let us go!"

"Heh, now you know to beg for mercy?" The third guy, with his blue punk hair, crossed his legs and toyed with a dagger in his hand.

"We all agreed to share the good times and the bad, and to make the electric scooter theft business great again, but what did you guys do? You actually went to turn yourselves in to the cops!"

"If I hadn't stolen the car and run into you two, I'd be in deep trouble by now!"

"I'm telling you, you're all going to die today! See how sharp my blade is?"

As the blue-haired punk spoke, he licked the dagger.

"Third Brother, you really can't blame us! There really are ghosts in Fengmen Village!" The red-haired punk was anxious and immediately bowed down.

"Yes, yes, it was a demon, a demon covered in black and red flames, and accompanied by a hellhound!"

The blond-haired punk kept banging his head on the ground, shouting, "If we don't turn ourselves in, he's going to kill us!"

"Keep making things up!" the blue-haired punk sneered. "It's the 21st century already, and you're still spouting feudal superstitions?"

"Have you ever watched 'Approaching Science'? It's all fake! There are no ghosts or gods in this world, only ghostly filters and ghostly background music!"

"Damn it, you still want to lie to me! I'll clean house today!" With that, the blue-haired punk grabbed the red-haired punk's hair and pressed the dagger against his face.

"Brother, I was wrong, brother, but, but—" The red-haired punk immediately begged for mercy, but he suddenly froze halfway through his sentence, looking into the distance as if he were looking at a ghost.

"Huh? What are you doing? Are you stupid?" The blue-haired punk frowned.

But they found that the blond-haired punk was staring into the distance with the same terrified expression as the red-haired guy, his teeth chattering: "Wh-wh ...

"What the hell?"

The blue-haired punk was completely bewildered by the two men. He turned his head to look, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

But then, a terrifying black flame dragon was seen floating on the sewage river filled with garbage.

Countless flames erupted from beneath the dragon, igniting the entire sewage river.

A terrifying being, its entire body enveloped in black and red flames, stood atop the dragon's head, its hands clasped behind its back.

He exuded an aura of greatness that seemed to come from time immemorial, and also seemed to contain a terrifying power that could only be found in the underworld.

The most terrifying thing was that when the Blue Punk looked at the creature's face, he couldn't see anything but countless black, constantly burning flames.

This is the "Love Rope of the Fog Lady" distorting his perception.

"What, what, what, what is this thing?!"

The blue-haired punk was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Third Brother, that...that's a ghost! Now you believe us, right?"

"Run, Third Brother! It'll be too late if we don't run now!"

The blond and red-haired men didn't bother to explain anymore and turned to run away.

"Ghosts? Ghosts? Hah, how could there be ghosts in this world?"

The blue-haired punk muttered to himself, "This must be a dream, yes, I'm dreaming."

"It'll be alright once you wake up from the dream."

He slowly closed his eyes as he spoke, then suddenly opened them.

Lin Yuan: "Hello!"

Blue-haired emo/punk:

There really is a ghost!

Physics no longer exists!

Where is Uncle Nine?

Where is Uncle Nine? Please help!

The blue-haired punk turned and ran.

Its speed was even faster than Lin Yuan's god-like form, and it caught up with the blond and red-haired men in the blink of an eye.

"Third, Third Brother?"

"No, don't fucking talk to me! You think you can't outrun me?!"
