By the time Lu Cheng returned home, it was already night.

He moved swiftly through the alleyways, disappearing like a ghost. Most of the neighbors near Tuoshi Alley in the north of the city had moved elsewhere, and the area around his home had become much quieter since the demonic energy incident.

Light as a feather, he leaped across the rooftops. After receiving guidance from Ji Xiaoxiao today, he experienced for the first time what it felt like to be in harmony with nature. Unfortunately, he was never able to enter that state again.

His expression revealed a hint of seriousness and confusion. It was clear that he had returned from the rich woman's house today with a serious expression. Although Ji Xiaoxiao had only mentioned it to him casually, he had kept all of her words in mind.

"What kind of ship is the senior sister talking about?"

"The radiant light, ascending from the present world, seems to open a special passage, but it doesn't appear to be the path to the upper realm?"

"Even when that senior cultivator burned away his cultivation and divine soul, he still managed to forcibly close this passage. What was on the other side of the door? What did he see?"

"Is it related to my past world? It seems that many people from my past world came before me. According to Han Guang, they entered this world through the gate beneath the Demon Suppression Abyss."

"Can I understand this sentence literally? Individuals enter this world, but I am a little different from them."

"I'm a local."

Lu Cheng was muttering something to himself, which sounded somewhat contradictory. He was clearly an "extraterrestrial demon" but claimed to be a local, yet he had no mental problems and was indeed a local.

Eighteen years have passed since his birth. He has memories of his parents and family from his childhood. He was born from his mother's womb, and although his parents left when he was very young, he still has this concept in his mind. He also inquired about his parents when he was a little older.

The answer is yes.

Others either transmigrate through their soul or their body, but Lu Cheng is different; he genuinely possessed the memories of his previous life from birth.

"Let's not talk about time travel for now, because even if I knew the answer now, it wouldn't change anything. But some things can't be delayed."

"For example, my body."

Before he knew it, the boy had arrived at his doorstep.

A yellow lantern, which looks somewhat like a flower lantern, hangs in front of her house. The lantern is decorated with exquisite lotus flower patterns. Every day, if she comes home too late or doesn't come home at all, she hangs this lantern at the door to summon her soul.

...is to guide.

He habitually pushed the door open, not even noticing Han Guang who was hiding behind it, ready to ambush him. He walked into the house like a walking corpse, muttering something as he went.

"I tried it at the border yesterday. Other people's demonic energy is useless to me. It cannot improve the quality of my spiritual root. In fact, it will produce negative effects when absorbed into my body, causing dizziness."

"So what exactly is this spiritual root of mine? What exactly constitutes nourishment? Or am I only able to absorb this one type of demonic energy?"

"So am I a normal cultivator? A demon cultivator? Or an evil cultivator?"

"If I don't figure this out as soon as possible, I'm afraid I'll be exposed in front of my senior sister later. Sigh, the only good news is that no matter what kind of strange energy I absorb, what comes out of my body in the end is normal spiritual energy."

"Theoretically, it should be very difficult to detect, but I feel like my body is a converter..."

Lu Cheng walked all the way to his room without any reaction, and did not notice Han Guang following behind him. Just then, Han Guang suddenly attacked from behind!

"May all evils be driven away."

"who!"

He let out a loud shout.

Instinctively, he immediately twisted his body and lashed out with his elbow, gripping the sword hilt tightly in his palm. After being instructed, he had indeed undergone a complete transformation. Even Han Guang was stunned for a moment, realizing that her useless master seemed to be quite different.

thump—

Two slender, fair fingers tapped directly on the boy's forehead.

She was just silently praising Lu Cheng in her heart for being a little different from before, but that didn't mean he could defeat her, much less struggle against her.

The knock jolted Lu Cheng awake. He looked at the familiar person in front of him and realized he was at home, so he quickly stopped hitting him.

"I had some errands to run outside today, so I got back a little late... What's this?"

Staring intently at the golden talisman pasted on his forehead, the boy crossed his eyes and focused his gaze on the text on the talisman, which looked like a talisman for exorcising evil spirits and suppressing evil spirits.

Upon closer inspection.

They discovered that Hanguang was still holding a bowl of chicken blood, which could be splashed on them at any moment.

"Oh dear, sir, you were acting strangely as soon as you came in. I couldn't wake you up or shake you. I thought you were possessed by an evil spirit."

"Or perhaps, the master's soul has been bewitched by a vixen?"

"Is your soul back yet? Hmm?"

The smiling face sent a chill down the boy's spine.

He spent the day fooling around outside. No, he should say he was taken in by Ji Xiaoxiao. Although he hasn't officially become her disciple yet, he's already her junior brother in name. So he stayed at the Demon Suppression Tower a little longer today, since he has many questions about cultivation.

As a result, we ended up chatting until midnight.

She reached out her little hand and grabbed her collar. Han Guang was unusually assertive today, sniffing all over her body. If she were given a dog tail, it would suit her action even better.

"Tsk, it smells like that bitch."

He cursed inwardly.

"So, Master did come back tonight after all. What, did that Lady Ji not invite you to stay the night?"

"Can't you watch your mouth and show some respect? Master Ji said he wants to take me into the Sword Sect, but he can't take me to have any apprenticeship ceremony these days."

"Clam?"

Can't sit still.

She raised her finger and pointed at Lu Cheng, her expression changing rapidly. Her gaze immediately locked onto the long object Lu Cheng was holding in his arms, which was clearly a sword.

"You agreed!?"

"……cough."

He coughed awkwardly.

"You, you!"

Pointing at the boy, it was clear that Han Guang was truly a little overwhelmed. She never expected that this slut would be so proactive, directly using her charm to win over her master as soon as they met. However, after a moment of anger, she gradually calmed down.

He seemed somewhat dejected.

"I guess I'll just have to agree, oh well."

"You...aren't angry? If you're unwilling, I'll go again tomorrow and explain things clearly to Master Ji."

Shrinking his neck.

Although he wasn't quite sure what the conflict was between Hanguang and his senior sister, he could tell that Hanguang seemed to dislike Ji Xiaoxiao. Despite spending all his time surrounded by rich women, Hanguang was his number one priority.

"You're so stupid! You're turning down such an opportunity; you really don't know what's good for you!"

He cursed.

Even someone as proud as Han Guang had to acknowledge the strength of the Sword Sect disciples, and she wouldn't dare to jeopardize Lu Cheng's future for her own selfish reasons.

"Alright, I'll just try to trick Master Ji out of more treasures in the future. What are you standing there for? Go take a bath."

"oh."

He nodded obediently.

Before he even reached the bathroom, he saw Han Guang walk in carrying two "rich woman's happiness balls".

"I'll give you a good scrub today, and get rid of all that slut's stench..."
