A Psychiatrist's Bizarre Game Journey / Dream of the Mist

Holy crap, as expected of a protagonist in a "rejected engagement" story, he's really cheating! Did he replace the old medicine master with the old formation master as his cheat ability?!

If one of them is this amazing, then Zhou Ke'er has provoked so many protagonist-type guys... If they form a protagonist group, wouldn't they be unstoppable?

Just as Zhou Ke'er was lost in thought, the monster finally completed its formation and slammed down on the outermost defensive array.

## Chapter 401, Section 396: The Villainous Female Supporting Character is Popular? (Part 4)

"boom!"

The Lord of Winter's pure white hand—or rather, claw?—slammed down hard on the outermost defensive array, producing a violent sound. A burst of brilliant sparks suddenly appeared on the array, brightening it slightly, but there were also crackling sounds like something shattering within them. Fortunately, it was not so easily broken.

The noise caused large chunks of snow piled up on the entire mountain to tumble and collapse. It was now a real avalanche.

The actual avalanche rolled down much faster than the Winter Lord could gather. Almost at the same time the Winter Lord raised his claws and swung them at Zhou Ke'er and the others for the second time, the avalanche also crashed into the defensive magic array.

"This is not good. I don't think your formation can hold for long. We should start a counterattack as soon as possible and wear down the Lord of Winter's power."

Bai Feng observed the quality of the defensive array set up by Ye Chen and his brows relaxed slightly. It was slightly better than he had expected, but it could only last for half an incense stick's time at most. If he did not cause any damage to the Lord of Winter, simply watching it slowly destroy the defensive array would be like waiting to die.

As he spoke, Bai Feng suddenly waved the jade fan in his hand at the Lord of Winter, and a black wisp of smoke surged out instantly. Originally a thin wisp, it spread out as it rushed toward the Lord of Winter, gradually becoming a swirling cloud of smoke.

The black mist touched the wounds on the Winter Lord's body, making a hissing sound, like the sound of poison corroding the ground after being poured on it in a TV drama. The Winter Lord's body shell, which touched the black mist, visibly peeled off instantly and fluttered to the ground.

However... this only appears formidable, because if the Lord of Winter suffers even the slightest injury, other snowflakes on the ground will instantly surge towards it, filling the damaged area. In other words, as long as the entire surrounding snow-covered mountain remains snow-covered, the Lord of Winter is invincible.

Ye Chen seized the opportunity to add more defensive formations within the multiple arrays. However, since the area was gradually shrinking and the original area was not large at all, adding two or three more formations would be the maximum. Otherwise, the three people in the array would have to be pressed together, with no room to even stand, just to barely fit them all into all the formations.

"If this won't work, then let's try fire!"

Seeing that his attack had not been very effective, Bai Feng frowned and waved his fan again. Immediately, a dark green flame surged out, almost overwhelming, and fiercely burned the body of the Lord of Winter.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ke'er, standing beside the two, had no time to pay attention to Bai Feng and Ye Chen's battle against the Lord of Winter. A strong, inexplicable tremor welled up in her heart, as if something was calling to her. This feeling had started as soon as she entered the second level of this inheritance ground, but it was very weak at first. Now, for some reason, it had suddenly become very strong.

What on earth is that? It's calling out to him, Zhou Ke'er. Could it be some kind of eerie thing?

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but have this suspicion in her heart. After all, she had been attracting that kind of ghostly thing for a while, and she couldn't think of anything else that could be calling to her.

One Lord of Winter is already too much to handle; if another strange entity appears... then we'll have to run away.

"Om..."

Just then, a loud buzzing sound rang out, as if something was shaking incessantly.

Zhou Ke'er had a strong urge to find the source of the buzzing sound, as if something was calling to her and urging her to search for it.

Strangely, Bai Feng and Ye Chen showed no reaction whatsoever, as if they hadn't heard anything at all. They didn't stop what they were doing, nor did they show any surprise or uncertainty on their faces.

"Hey, guys... have you heard any strange noises? A buzzing sound, like something's been vibrating and chirping..."

Zhou Ke'er frowned and asked the two of them.

Although the buzzing sound didn't cause him headaches or make him feel agitated, its constant attraction was a rather unpleasant feeling.

"Ok?"

After hearing Zhou Ke'er's words, Bai Feng and Ye Chen both looked puzzled. They hesitated for a moment, seemingly listening intently for a few seconds, but did not hear the sound Zhou Ke'er had described. They then shook their heads.

As expected... it's that "only I can hear it" setting again. Looks like it's definitely something weird.

Zhou Ke'er frowned. Why couldn't she escape these weird things no matter where she went? She just wanted to play a module normally until the end! Come to think of it, most of her modules ended prematurely due to various uncontrollable factors. Only a few of them were played to the end on her own, right?

There's absolutely no gaming experience! That's outrageous!

"Shh!"

Just as Zhou Ke'er was complaining inwardly, a sword shadow suddenly flashed through his mind and disappeared in an instant.

"What?!"

Zhou Ke'er was immediately startled and abruptly closed her eyes, trying to recall the scene that had just flashed through her mind.

But what he saw in his mind at this moment was not the sword shadow he had just seen, but a man with a full head of black hair. For some reason, his face gave Zhou Ke'er a feeling that he was quite familiar, but she couldn't see it clearly. He held a thin sword that looked like a woman's in his hand and slowly walked towards Zhou Ke'er.

"I knew you would eventually return here... but it's been far too long, so long that even this remnant of my soul is almost completely consumed..."

The man walked up to Zhou Ke'er, gently took her right hand, and placed the rapier in it. "But... it's so good to see you one last time... I've thought of you constantly in all the years since you left..."

Zhou Ke'er opened her eyes in surprise and subconsciously stretched out her right hand. Sometime during the day, a spirit sword actually appeared in her hand, but it looked like it had been there for a very long time, and even the small characters engraved on the hilt were blurred.

But Zhou Ke'er could still recognize that the words "Bihen" were engraved on it.

"I'm sorry, even this sword is rusted... Please accept it, this remaining spiritual energy is the last gift I can give you."

The strangely familiar voice of the man rang in Zhou Ke'er's ears, and then a vast and pure spiritual energy rapidly surged into her body. The image of an ancient book gradually appeared in his mind. "I remember you wanted to create your own cultivation technique, but unfortunately you didn't have the chance... so I helped you complete it. I hope you like it..."

Immediately, Zhou Ke'er's right hand seemed to be gently pulled from behind her back, and she raised her sword and swung it sharply at the Lord of Winter from a distance.

Without any frills, the Lord of Winter instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments, as if its core had been damaged, and it never reassembled.

I really wish... I could stay by your side...

Zhou Ke'er's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had just remembered...

This guy, isn't he... Jun Lian?!

## Chapter 402, Section 397: The Villainous Female Supporting Character is a Huge Hit! (Part 5)

After unleashing this final sword strike, the wisp of soul that had struggled to survive until now could no longer hold on. It only glanced at Zhou Ke'er one last time before vanishing with the wind.

A sense of loss inevitably welled up in Zhou Ke'er's heart, but for him, that was all. In just two or three seconds, he quickly calmed down.

I never expected that the world in this module would be exactly the same as the one from before, only the timeline is quite different. This timeline is about a long time after Jun Lian's death.

However... if this means that Jun Lian's remnant soul has appeared here, then it also means that... this place of inheritance might just be his tomb!

Wait a minute... Even so, there's something that really piques Zhou Ke'er's curiosity: how did Jun Lian's remnant soul find her? If he used his control over this inheritance site to locate her... then he should also be able to see Zhou Ke'er and Bai Feng pretending to be lovey-dovey. What would his feelings be then? "Husband and wife in the act?"

Perhaps the remnant soul no longer has the strength to feel that kind of emotion?

I don't understand. Well, Zhou Ke'er is so pretty, she can be forgiven for anything she does, right?

I'm so cute, please give me money.jpg

Just then, the system notification sounded.

[A cultivateable technique detected: "Smoke-Scented Technique"]

[Title: The Art of Smoke Refining]

[Quality: Epic (For special individuals, quality: Legendary)]

[Category: Cultivation Technique (A Branch of Immortal Cultivation System)]

[Special Effect 1: This further increases the speed of spiritual energy refining by five times, building upon the existing speed of this technique.]

[Special Effect 2: Includes an attack that absorbs spiritual energy; the absorption efficiency depends on the target.]

[Special Effect 3 (Unlocked at Foundation Establishment)]

[Special Effect 4 (Golden Core Unlocked)]

…………

[Note: A powerful figure from a demonic sect spent the latter half of his life creating a top-tier cultivation technique specifically for a deceased person, and naming it after that person.]

Wow, this is pretty powerful... Great, this technique can replace the common cultivation techniques in "Two or Three". After all, what's truly useful in "Two or Three" are the various practical spells and tips for using spiritual power. The common techniques that come with it are indeed quite ordinary, and even the system doesn't recognize them as equipable cultivation techniques.

Thinking this, Zhou Ke'er directly equipped the "Smoke-Scented Technique" to her character template, and then glanced at the attributes of the Azure Trace Sword. She had been eyeing this sword in the last module, but unfortunately, because it was an easy module, she couldn't bring anything out of the module. This time, she was finally able to do it.

[Name: Bihen]

[Quality: Epic (Slight Rust)]

[Type: Weapon (Sword)]

[Attack Power: High]

[Special Effect 1: Consuming a certain amount of spiritual energy allows you to unleash a highly destructive sword aura.]

[Special Effect 2: Attacks have a 20% defense penetration effect.]

[Special Effect 3: It contains several strands of sword intent from a powerful being. This sword intent can be consumed to unleash an attack with destructive power approaching that of a full-force strike from a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage. (Uses: 55)]

[Note: A light ripple of emerald light dances, a thousand years of longing.]

Can the module be taken out of the country? Yes

Wow, we've got an amazing consumable effect! This is a huge win!

I never expected that the NPCs I hooked up with before would still be useful now. It's like the seeds I planted finally bearing fruit! If Zhou Ke'er hooked up with a few more... and harvested them all, wouldn't that be...

Cough cough, you're overthinking it. This is the last time the female form punishment will be given. There won't be another chance. What a pity.

"That was just now...."

Bai Feng, who had been stunned by Zhou Ke'er's sword strike, finally came to his senses and hurriedly asked a question. He had just sensed the aura of a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator from that sword strike...it was terrifying.

Zhou Ke'er glanced at Bai Feng, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she fell forward without warning, and the sword in her hand disappeared into thin air (actually, it was put into her backpack).

Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly stepped forward and caught Zhou Ke'er before she fell to the ground.

Having already completed his mission, Ye Chen disregarded what had just happened and glared angrily at Bai Feng, shouting, "How could you do this?! You have no sportsmanship at all!"

"How dare you say that to me? I came prepared and kept an eye on Lan Yanran's condition. Aren't I much more responsible than you? Do you expect me to wait until she falls to the ground before we can fight over taking care of her injuries? That's too vicious of you!"

Bai Feng glanced at Ye Chen, revealing a mocking smile of a victor, and retorted mercilessly.

"..."

Ye Chen was furious, but he had no words to refute it. After all, he had just been distracted and his actions were a beat slower. He couldn't really blame Bai Feng, so he could only awkwardly change the subject, "Forget it, I won't argue with you about this kind of thing... Go and see what's wrong with Yan Ran."

"I've been looking at it for a while now, you don't need to remind me."

Bai Feng pursed his lips. "His aura is very stable, and his spiritual power... Hmm? His spiritual power is actually quite abundant? Wasn't he supposed to faint because he ran out of spiritual power? Didn't that slash just now consume any spiritual power?... His overall condition is quite good, and he doesn't even look like his cultivation has been crippled... How could he suddenly faint?"

Fortunately, Bai Feng did not delve into Zhou Ke'er's dantian and spiritual palace to investigate, otherwise he would have discovered two extremely strange and evil cores operating continuously, and his spiritual sense used for investigation would probably have been instantly devoured.

As for the fact that Zhou Ke'er's spiritual power was mixed with something evil, Bai Feng had already overheard Zhou Ke'er's fabricated story about this situation in the dark room before. So, although he found that Zhou Ke'er's spiritual power was indeed strange, he wasn't too suspicious. After all, she had already explained it before.

As for Zhou Ke'er, he was naturally... faking unconsciousness. He was in excellent condition. His status panel showed that, apart from his stamina, which hadn't fully recovered due to the extremely low initial value when the module was started, everything else was almost perfect.

"...Alright, this isn't a place for easy conversation. Let's find a safe place to hide for now and make plans after Yanran wakes up."

Bai Feng shook his head, then used his arms to lift Zhou Ke'er up in a princess carry again, talking as he walked forward.
