I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Huang Quan could hear Gu Qici's nagging laughter clearly, but after thinking about it, he decided not to bother with it.

I originally thought my junior sisters were all cold and aloof.

Unexpectedly, it actually came time to drive.

Even Liu Xiyao... The young man felt melancholy. He thought he had been too optimistic in regarding these girls as innocent little angels. Oh well, what angels would the Demon Sect have?

and also…

As they approached Tongfu Inn, the slightly awkward atmosphere between the three of them disappeared. Huang Quan didn't do anything, but although Liu Xiyao was very good at easing tensions, she was also quite naive.

In the latter half of the journey, she seemed to have forgotten what had happened before. She approached him with a smile, hugged his arm, and acted coquettishly, pointing at the things being sold by roadside vendors. Her intentions were very clear.

Huang Quan certainly wasn't really angry about what had just happened. His main purpose was to remind them to be more vigilant, and that at their age, they should indeed understand some things.

But... this girl, knowing all that, still hugged me like that. How much does she trust me? Does she treat me like her own brother?

Feeling the soft touch of Liu Xiyao holding him tightly, Huang Quan sighed inwardly, lamenting his own hardships. He thought that if things continued like this, he would eventually become worse than a beast.

Fortunately, this test of humanity didn't last too long.

As cultivators, although they were often delayed by Liu Xiyao along the way, they quickly made it back by lunchtime.

It was only a morning, and it passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Wanyu is not a suspicious person by nature, so she naturally wouldn't overthink things.

"You're finally back! It was so boring leaving me here alone. I almost went out to look for you." Not long after returning to Tongfu Inn, the three of them saw Jiang Wanyu running over excitedly.

These words made all three of them jump.

Thank goodness we got back in time.

However, the next second, Jiang Wanyu quickly noticed something was wrong.

"Wait... why did the three of you come back together?"

She went to greet them and was surprised to see the three of them together.

"We just happened to run into each other on the road," Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao replied in unison.

This time, the two girls, who were playfully bickering, displayed an amazing level of chemistry.

Without any prior consultation, they said the exact same thing.

Jiang Wanyu: "..."

"This is too unbelievable. As far as I know, these two have a bit of a grudge and don't get along. How could they just bump into each other on the street and hang out together? Only a fool would believe that. Are you an idiot?"

Before the girl could speak, Sword Granny in the storage ring space made her first comment.

"Of course I won't, but what's the use of not believing me? Am I supposed to keep pressing you for answers?"

Jiang Wanyu replied in her mind, somewhat annoyed.

He replied dryly, "Is that so? What a coincidence."

As she spoke, a more determined fighting spirit appeared in the girl's eyes.

"We did run into them by chance on the way, but it was still early, so I took them for a walk and forgot to call you. How about I call you? After all, we agreed to celebrate the holiday together today."

At this moment, seemingly sensing that Jiang Wanyu was being neglected, Huang Quan felt a little guilty and spoke with a smile.

"No need..." Jiang Wanyu quickly declined, "I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Xiyao hurriedly interrupted to answer.

“Then come and show us around. Last night, I saw Sister Wanyu staring at this for a long time, and she seemed to find it very interesting.”

Liu Xiyao immediately came over with a flyer that she didn't know where it came from.

Even though they were the ones causing trouble, they still helped out without hesitation.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the flyer Liu Xiyao took out had the words "photo studio" written on it.

When Jiang Wanyu saw the flyer, her face immediately turned red, and she stood there stammering, unable to say a word.

Huang Quan: "Photo studio? Liu Xiyao...you f***ing? What the f***ing? *****"

In the end, Huang Quan couldn't resist Liu Xiyao's insistence.

You can't exactly say you just came out of there, can you?

"I don't really want to see it, I'm just a little curious."

Seeing Jiang Wanyu's expectant expression, Huang Quan considered it and decided to agree.

Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao naturally had no objections to this. They were also pleasantly surprised, since their overall movie-watching experience had been excellent, except for some problems at the end.

However, thinking about how their senior brother (meal ticket) immediately agreed after Jiang Wanyu mentioned it, Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao still felt a little bitter.

They went through great lengths and racked their brains to come up with a plan to invite their senior (their meal ticket) out.

Of course, both of them understood that the source of this difficulty was not actually from their senior brother (meal ticket), but rather... the obstruction caused by someone's identity.

Taking advantage of Huang Quan's inattention, their eyes met once again, sparking like fire in the air. Then they snorted and looked away.

Although they had decided to go to the photo studio again, they did not set off immediately, but instead decided to do so in the afternoon.

The main reason is that Huang Quan is too lazy and doesn't want to go back again so soon after returning.

In the afternoon, we went to the photo studio. By the time we finished, it was almost evening, which was the time for the Fantasy City Tangyuan Festival celebration. We could then wander around the city and see the festival customs of this world.

In fact, on their way back, Huang Quan could see many people setting up decorations on the surrounding streets, mainly by hanging all sorts of colorful lanterns everywhere.

They also set up temporary shop frames, and as evening approached, some of the main roads in the entire Fantasy City were closed to traffic, turning into a carnival for tourists and merchants.

The eager atmosphere stirred a strange sense of anticipation in the young man. For cultivators, time was the least valuable thing. Huang Quan returned to his room to rest, listening to Liu Xiyao's noisy chatter. He cultivated for a while, and an hour or two passed in the blink of an eye.

When he exited his cultivation state, he saw the silly little girl standing in front of him with wide eyes. He didn't know how long she had been standing there dumbfounded. When she saw him open his eyes, she happily pushed him.

"Let's go quickly, Brother Huangquan."

"It's time. Sister Wanyu has been waiting for a long time," the silly little girl said, pouting.

Of the group, only she dared to urge Huang Quan so casually. Back on the street, the boy noticed a significant increase in the number of pedestrians. Moreover, everyone was dressed very formally.

Although it wasn't actually night yet, the celebration seemed to be warming up at this time, as you could see colorful lanterns tied to thin ropes and swaying in the wind whenever you looked up.

Some of the colorful lights have wind chimes hanging from them, which make a crisp sound.

Hearing these sounds, Liu Xiyao ran around excitedly, the lucky bell on her fair ankle ringing as if she had arrived in her own kingdom and was responding to the call of her subjects.

"Really... silly," Gu Qici said with amusement.

"Are there any things I should be careful about when going to a photo studio?" Jiang Wanyu asked timidly from beside her. It was her first time going to a place like a photo studio, and the girl couldn't hide her excitement.

Gu Qici's beautiful eyes immediately sparkled with a soft light, she was very happy, but then she glanced at Gu Qici and said, "I don't know, I've never been there, you can ask the little rascal."

“I’ve never been there either…” Liu Xiyao glanced at Gu Qici with a quiet look.

He replied without changing his expression, "But it's pretty much the same as going to other places, there shouldn't be anything special to pay attention to."

The two of them thought about what happened when they went to the photo studio with their senior (meal ticket) and decided to keep it a secret.

"Is that so?" Jiang Wanyu had no doubts. She just looked at the two calm people and silently admired them. It was their first time going to such a place, yet they weren't flustered at all.

The girl thought to herself, her gaze falling on Huang Quan beside her, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Huang Quan remained as always, possessing an extraordinary temperament and unparalleled handsomeness.

The boy didn't notice Jiang Wanyu's scrutiny at this moment; his gaze remained fixed on the slightly higher position in front of him.

Huang Quan looked at the swaying colored lanterns and, for some reason, felt as if he saw endless light burning inside them, which made his thoughts somewhat dazed.

He felt he should remember something, but he couldn't remember anything. And at this moment...

The Crimson Peak Sword within his body rippled slightly, emitting a faint light before falling silent once more.

However, the boy was unaware of this.

Somewhere in Fantasy City, someone was also gazing at those colorful lights, and then... two lines of bloody tears fell from their eyes.

"Mom...look over there..." A child passing by the figure suddenly saw the strange sight and exclaimed in surprise.

Before he could speak, his mother covered his mouth and quickly pulled him away. Many surrounding figures stared in astonishment at the figure before retreating, seemingly in awe. They were also aware of the commotion they had caused.

The man calmly wiped his cheek, a black light flashed, and the two bloodstains evaporated from his face.

"Things have changed, people have changed." The man in black murmured softly, consciously concealing his presence as if erasing his existence from the crowd.

That one glance just now was the Heavenly Eye Divine Power. And this powerful divine power, when activated by him at the Heavenly Monarch Realm, allows him to see the vast world, past and future.

But that one glance just now, looking into the future, damaged his very foundation, adding another deep wound to his already severely injured body. This was a fundamental injury, almost impossible to heal.

But what do mere wounds matter to someone who is destined to die? In the end, he saw what he wanted.

So he finally stopped on the side of the street, standing still like a Buddha statue, quietly waiting... for the future to blossom and bear fruit.

Chapter 118 The divination cannot be exhausted; fear the impermanence of the Great Dao.

As night falls and the city of Fantasy is lit up with twinkling lights, the entire city gradually becomes incredibly bright.

It was like daytime, yet the night was fading.

Along the ten-mile-long street, tourists thronged, music resounded everywhere, and fireworks exploded in all directions. When the grand opening ceremony of the Tangyuan Festival began, a sky full of stars seemed to have fallen to earth.

Walking among those lights is like wandering in a galaxy.

The gods adorn the world with stars, and this is probably what the scene looks like. Such a magnificent sight on earth would leave even cultivators who have seen many wondrous grottoes and blessed lands speechless with admiration.

"What a nice view."

When they came out of the photo studio, it was just as night was falling, so Huang Quan and the others did not miss the start of this grand event.

After taking only a few steps, the group couldn't help but stop, watching the bright lights and fireworks rising into the sky, exploding like clusters of flowers, their eyes seemingly reflecting countless stars.

"If only I could stroll around in a place like this with my senior brother (meal ticket) (Huang Quan)... that would be wonderful."

Almost subconsciously, the girls began to have this thought.

Perhaps because of the lesson learned in the morning, Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao behaved much better during the afternoon movie screening at the photo studio, especially with Jiang Wanyu present.

However, Liu Xiyao's shouts and screams would occasionally break the gloomy atmosphere of the private room.

And the snacks they painstakingly peeled... most of them ended up in Liu Xiyao's stomach.
