After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Then pinch and squeeze hard—

The icy thorns shattered inch by inch.

Clang——

Gong Juren felt a powerful force strike his tiger's mouth, and the ice sword in his hand flew out of his grasp.

"So handsome..." came a girl's voice from the square.

"Swoosh—"

"No... it's that I'm too competitive."

"Senior Brother Gong Juren, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage, is no match for Brother Shiyan at all."

"?"

"Something's not right with you, you infatuated girl. Why are you calling me 'brother' all of a sudden?"

thump—

Gong Juren staggered and knelt on the ground.

In Shi Yan's eyes, Gong Juren exuded an evil aura, and the boy's face was ferocious.

Evil spirits enter the body.

He must have been in contact with someone.

That might be a clue.

Behind Shi Yan, the white tiger, invisible to ordinary people, raised its right paw and pressed it down on Gong Juren's head.

The evil energy, in the face of the White Tiger, was like a punctured balloon, dissipating and fleeing.

Shi Yan looked in the direction the evil energy had fled—

That is the main hall of Frost Rainbow Valley.

That guy... is right there.

She did not act rashly.

After all, to be frank, Shi Yan is not yet a match for the other party.

Acting rashly is tantamount to suicide.

She... was simply conveying a message—

Inside the main hall of Frost Rainbow Valley, a pair of cloudy eyes gazed towards the square nestled in the mountain valley.

“The 'Fierce God of the Year'…” came the aged voice.

"The Azure Lotus Sword Sect?"

"trouble..."

"However, there's nothing to fear—"

"It's just a mere 'Golden Core Realm'; it won't amount to much."

"Letting him take that little girl Wenren Jiu away isn't necessarily a bad thing. Frost Rainbow Valley... ultimately doesn't belong to the Wenren family." He analyzed the situation. "Offending the Azure Lotus Sword Sect for this... isn't worth it."

The reputation of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect was far more useful than Shi Yan had imagined.

In the square—

With a stern face, Shi Yan reached out his hand to Gong Juren, who seemed lost and dejected.

Gong Juren looked up blankly, and subconsciously... grabbed Shi Yan's hand to get up, but Shi Yan immediately pulled her hand back.

They did not directly ask Gong Juren who he had been in contact with recently.

Because at that moment, that person is definitely watching you.

We can leave this to Sister Ermo when the time comes.

Taking Wenren Jiu's hand again, Shi Yan led the girl away amidst the admiring or respectful gazes of the Frost Rainbow Valley disciples.

She hung Shi Jiuzhou back around her neck.

The sensation of the cool jade sword sliding down his skin made Shi Yan shudder involuntarily.

Behind Shi Yan, a young girl with white hair reaching her ankles blinked her bright eyes.

She finally remembered where she had heard the name 'Shiyan' before.

Sister Qianrou told her about it.

Sister Qianrou's betrothed since childhood is named 'Shiyan'.

Can--

The young girl tilted her head.

That person... was clearly a girl.

Can a girl be another girl's fiancé?

Ai?

It seems there's no problem.

Part 159 Still Dare to Plant a Flag? & Jun Qianrou and Feng Manlou [First Update 3K]

Holding Wenren Jiu's small hand, they quickly left the square.

Because Shi Yan could sense that among the onlookers, the girl with the "lucky charm for her husband" seemed to have stars practically popping out of her eyes.

At times like these, in places like these—

Jun Qianrou's headquarters is really... making people feel suffocated.

Shi Yan seemed to have already imagined Jun Qianrou wielding the snake sword, turning into a dark figure on the spot, her plain blue dress soaked in red.

"Brother Shiyan..." A soft, seductive voice, yet dangerously alluring like a red spider lily blooming on the other side of the underworld, whispered, "Brother Shiyan, isn't having me... enough?"

"hiss--"

Heaving in the cold air, Shi Yan quickly banished that image from her mind.

Although the sadistic Jun Qianrou is quite sassy, ​​Shi Yan still prefers that delicate and graceful girl.

Or... like in the Empress version of the CG.

Although dressed in red, she exuded majesty and authority.

But in front of her, she still acts like a little bird, cradling her toes and bowing her head in tenderness...

Guided by the mini-map, Shi Yan quickly headed towards the inner valley of Frost Rainbow Valley.

Wenren Jiu felt a little strange when Shi Yan grabbed her hand.

Sister Shiyan...why are you so familiar with Frost Rainbow Valley?

It's as if they know it better than I do.

Shi Yan led Wenren Jiu through the narrow paths between the buildings. Actually, she didn't know the way either, but she had a map.

However... Shi Yan didn't notice—

On the map, it seems like a cursor just flashed by in an instant, as if it were flying on the wind.

After passing a training ground, Shi Yan and Wenren Jiu arrived at the end of the mountain valley.

That is, the edge of the valley inside Frost Rainbow Valley.

Ahead lay a sheer cliff, a towering snow-covered precipice, with only one old pine tree standing tall amidst the wind and snow.

Shi Yan knew... that old pine tree was also a fairly important NPC in the game; it was a thousand-year-old pine tree.

Although he did not follow the path of cultivation by transforming into a human, his cultivation level was still unmatched by ordinary Spirit Realm cultivators.

In the early stages of the game, you need to go down to the bottom of the snow cliff.

The simplest way is to build a good relationship with him and get him to take you down.

The tasks for building relationships aren't too difficult; they're mostly errands like watering plants and removing pests. The most troublesome of these are the errand-running tasks.

He usually had to leave Frostbear Valley and go down to Frostforetold City to buy what he wanted.

Experienced players usually choose to save and reload frequently to accept quests, and only do the easier ones.

And what about players who use cheat codes...?

"Oh~ the little girl from the Wen family and... such a kind-looking little sister." The pine tree shook its branches and greeted Shi Yan.

Shi Yan was not surprised.

For non-human beings like Xiao Pixiu, Bai Xiaoxiao, or Hansong in front of them, the effect of ancient jade restoration on their understanding is often very poor.

"You should just call me kid," Shi Yan said with a wry smile.

Below the snow cliff lies the inner valley where Jun Qianrou is in seclusion. This cold pine tree is making a racket. If it were to reveal all its secrets to Qianrou, that wouldn't be good.

If that were to happen, I'd have no choice but to cut off his branches and use them as thorns to seduce Qianrou, making her appear naked, apologetic, or something like that...

"Are you a new guest elder of Frostrain Valley? I've never seen you before." The pine tree seemed to be a chatterbox who hadn't seen a living person in centuries; once it started talking, it couldn't stop. "Would you like to come down and sit for a while?"

"It's still quite cool down there."

"I find the little girl quite pleasing to the eye."

"Have a chat with me, and maybe I can teach you a trick or two."

"Believe me, I, Old Pine, have stood guard here for hundreds of years. No one knows more about the secrets of Frost Rainbow Valley than I do."

"No, no," Shi Yan hurriedly raised her hand to refuse.

Would you like to come down and sit for a while?

How about having a cup of tea with Jun Qianrou?

Spare yourself.

That would be like inviting a wolf into the house, or letting a wolf into the tiger's den.
