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

He seemed to have some recollection of it.

"Old cripple, where's your granddaughter?"

"Who dares to call me lame... Oh, benefactor? What brings you here? My granddaughter has gone to play, she'll be back soon. Never mind her, come sit in my room?"

"Did I send you here to enjoy a life of luxury?"

The old cripple bowed respectfully, a bead of sweat sliding down his forehead: "I'm too old... I can't do it anymore."

"How were you able to do it before?"

"I injured my leg from the long journey..."

Huang Quan shook his head and left.

I could faintly hear something coming from behind me.

"Did you see that? Did you see that? That was the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect! If you don't believe me, you can go and find out for yourselves. Now you understand the weight of my name, Prime Minister Liu? If I ever take a liking to someone, I might as well go up and say a few nice words to them."

"Master Liu, sit down quickly, be careful of your legs."

"Master Liu, have some tea."

……

The moonlight filled the sky.

Huang Quan slammed the dragon bone onto the table.

He shed his burdens and immersed himself in the hot water.

I gazed absently at the starry sky outside the window.

He didn't notice that a phantom image was rising on the keel.

She bore a striking resemblance to Liu Xiyao, but her skin was even fairer, her soft white hair cascading down, her deep, captivating golden vertical pupils, and her exquisitely beautiful face, like a finely crafted gemstone. Her palm-sized wings flapped behind her: "A creature with a tail in the front? How strange. Should I try to bewitch him? This is a rare opportunity..."

Chapter 47 Why Do People Eat Dog Food?

It is the beginning of spring.

The sun shines brightly, and the branches are covered in new green leaves.

A gentle spring breeze casually ruffled his gray hair.

With the arrival of spring, the Heavenly Demon Sect seemed to have shaken off some of its silence.

Not far from the Yellow Springs, on a sky bridge connecting the various mountains.

Young men and women under twenty are strolling on it.

The woman suddenly saw Huang Quan and stopped to say something.

"Half a year has passed, but Senior Brother is still as dashing as ever..."

The man was somewhat embarrassed and did not respond to her as usual this time.

He stepped in front of the other person: "I...I...I have something I want to tell you."

He paused, stammering, as if it would take immense courage for him to say what he was about to say.

"What's wrong? Are you running out of spirit stones?"

The girl accompanying him asked a question, waiting for what he was about to say.

The boy blushed slightly: "In a few days, the peach blossoms by Yingyue Lake will be in bloom. Could I ask you to come with me to see them...?"

The girl looked at him with a smile: "No, that won't do."

The boy, looking dejected, said, "Oh... I understand."

"Why can't you ask me why?" The girl pouted, a little annoyed. "Those were planted by Senior Sister Gu. There aren't any peach blossoms by ordinary lakes. She doesn't allow outsiders to get close. I don't want to be made to face the wall by Senior Sister Gu."

"Then...then...let's go somewhere else..."

“Then let’s go down the mountain. Recently, because of the Canghai Academy’s prominence, the Heavenly Demon Sect has been able to catch its breath. We are just small fry and insignificant. We don’t need to worry about our safety.”

The girl smiled faintly, responding to the boy's courage.

The boy stared at the girl in the warm spring sunshine, completely mesmerized.

He quickly realized his lapse in composure and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation: "Okay! See you here at this time tomorrow! It's a promise!"

Huang Quan gazed at the two from afar.

I can't help but sigh: Spring has arrived, and all things are beginning to intertwine once again...

Behind Huang Quan, Gu Qici leaned against the stone wall, her hands unconsciously clenching.

It seemed as if it wanted to grasp something, but it grasped nothing at all.

She sighed and offered her heartfelt blessings.

May they bloom with hope, like peach blossoms in the spring breeze.

"Youth is wonderful; may all lovers in the world be united in marriage..."

"Brother and sister?"

Following the sound, Gu Qici looked at Huang Quan with some confusion: "I didn't expect Senior Brother to have such a hobby? It's not entirely unacceptable..."

Huang Quan shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, let's go, it's no fun staying here eating dog food."

Gu Qici tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why people would eat dog food.

Then, the two walked side by side.

Huang Quan understood for the first time what it meant to cultivate immortality without regard to time.

It all seems like yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred days and nights have passed silently: "What's going on at Canghai Academy? I didn't expect my Nirvana Tribulation to last for half a year. The Heavenly Demon Sect has changed... it's become a bit deserted. Has war broken out?"

Along the way, Huang Quan saw about 20-30% fewer disciples than he remembered, and most of the remaining disciples seemed listless and preoccupied.

In less than half a day, he heard the name "Canghai Academy" at least ten times.

"War is unlikely. No one is willing to do something thankless before things get ugly." Gu Qici pondered, "In recent months, the biggest change has been Canghai Academy. Because of it, the pressure on Tianmo Sect has been greatly reduced, and many sects have turned their attention to Canghai Academy. Of course, it's a mixed blessing, and Tianmo Sect has also suffered considerable losses as a result."

The worry between her brows could not be dispelled.

because……

In my previous life, Canghai Academy never existed!

Or perhaps the concept of 'academy' simply doesn't exist in this world.

Gu Qici didn't think she would be completely unaware of such a landmark event.

This first change, which was beyond her control, made her very uneasy.

"Many of the handyman disciples have gone to Canghai Academy. Canghai Academy advocates education for all, regardless of background or origin. As long as you have a skill, you can be admitted and receive professional training."

"Moreover, its core lies in spreading spiritual power throughout the world. With enough contributions from the academy, one can exchange for all sorts of spiritual techniques that were previously unimaginable. Even all the unique skills of the so-called 'academy master' at the Heavenly Monarch Realm are on the exchange list. On the contrary, many of our sects have secrets that are not passed down. Even the personal masters will hold back a few tricks. The two are completely incomparable. It's simply a disaster."

"It is said that the prototype of Canghai Academy was a dilapidated sect with only three or five people left that could disband at any time."

"The former sect leader left with a mountain of debt, leaving the sect's chief disciple in a coma. When he awoke, he resolutely took over as sect leader, and subsequently became proficient in both literature and cultivation."

"Paying off debts, recruiting talents, reforming the sect's order, expanding into the northern and southern regions, and forming a marriage alliance with the demon race in an attempt to alleviate the conflict between humans and other races—each of these measures can be described as earth-shattering."

"Of course, that man doesn't admit that his marriage was for peace. He said he was lusting after the demoness's body. He's despicable."

"In my opinion, this is just a smokescreen."

Huang Quan looked at Gu Qici and couldn't help but interject, "I think he's telling the truth..."

"It can't be the truth. I secretly went to see that person; it's utter nonsense. Anyone else could do it, but she just can't." Gu Qici shook her head, seemingly unwilling to discuss it further. "What are your plans now that you've broken through this cultivation, Senior Brother?"

"Plans? I didn't originally have any."

Huang Quan's guess was correct; the head of the 'Canghai Academy' was most likely his fellow townsman.

However, he was the type to take things as they come, while the other party was all about grand gestures: "Now, I want to go to Canghai Academy and see this 'Academy Master'."

Perhaps it was because the man and woman's words had touched them.

Gu Qici intentionally or unintentionally steered Huangquan toward Yingyue Lake.

For some reason, she felt uneasy. She shook her head to dispel the bad thoughts: "What does Senior Brother think of her philosophy?"

"Great, is it so hard to acknowledge that others are excellent?"

It was early morning.

The dewdrops had not yet evaporated, and were still crystal clear.

It tumbled down along the peach blossoms that were about to bloom, making a rustling sound.

Gu Qici didn't want to dwell on the topic of Canghai Academy: "Senior brother, I planted this peach blossom patch. Do you like it?"

She picked a flower and offered it to the Yellow Springs.

Perhaps lacking in romantic sentiment, Huang Quan didn't quite understand how to appreciate flowers, holding the bud with a wry smile: "This flower hasn't even bloomed yet..."

"I don't care if it's open or not, I'm happy as long as I can unscrew it."

Some memories suddenly came vivid to Huang Quan's mind, and the scenes from the past flashed by in an instant: "What day is it today?"

"The eighteenth day of spring."

"It's been since I last sent you a message from Pingchuan City..."

One hundred and eighty-four days.

Huang Quan: "?"

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Essence of Humanity is

There are 365 days in a year...

The definition of a six-month period is somewhat vague.

It could be the 182nd day, the 183rd day, or any two days in between.
