After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Youzhou is already a map in the mid-to-late game.

Finally, he spotted a grandfather and granddaughter hurrying along the road. Before Shi Yan could even speak, the old man, holding his granddaughter's hand, bowed down to him.

"Immortal, spare my life!"

"Immortal, spare my life!"

The old man led the young girl to kowtow. The girl nervously looked at the delicate toes of Shi Yan's shoes under her red dress, wanting to see the pretty older sister, but then remembered her grandfather's instructions and quickly buried her head again.

The teacher was speechless for a moment.

That's not how it is in the game.

To make exchanging items easier, I maxed out my reputation points, so everyone I met was polite and friendly.

When had Shi Yan ever seen such a scene?

However... she lowered her head, adjusted her red dress, and reflected on her current appearance.

A red skirt and red blouse, and a pair of small floral shoes with black brocade soles.

In addition, the aura of the "Hidden Sword Technique" was concealed.

She looks exactly like a witch reincarnated.

In Youzhou, a young girl was walking alone, possessing such a stunningly beautiful appearance that could bring ruin to the country.

It's not that we can't afford to offend them, it's just that we can't afford to offend some big shot.

Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that it's best not to mess with them.

Shi Yan originally wanted to ask some casual questions... but seeing the old man's flustered appearance, he could only wave his sleeve to signal them to leave.

The old man, filled with trepidation, kowtowed again to Master Yan in gratitude.

Shi Yan watched them leave into the distance.

Only then did the girl dare to secretly turn around and steal a glance at Shi Yan. When she found Shi Yan smiling at them, she quickly turned her head and ran away with her grandfather.

How should I put it... she's quite cute.

The journey was uneventful, and Shi Yan arrived safely at the city gate of Yanshui City.

Before even stepping through the city gates, Shi Yan had already sensed something unusual.

The city gates leading into the city were deserted, but a long queue had already formed at the city gates leading out of the city.

Most of them are ordinary people.

The cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining stage.

The celestial officials of the Celestial Bureau stood at the city gate, checking each one one by one.

However, most people were stopped inside the city gate after being checked, and only a few were allowed to pass. They immediately began to run frantically in fear, just like the grandfather and grandson from before.

It was as if they were fleeing some terrible place.

Shi Yan frowned slightly.

Something's not right about Yanshui City.

She stood before the city gate, and a star official from the Celestial Bureau bowed to her, "Fairy—"

In the game, Shi Yan has a high reputation in the Starry Sky Division.

He could go directly to Jizhou, the headquarters of the Starry Sky Division, barge into Xing Ke's main hall, and then have intimate interactions with Xing Ke in the hall.

even...

There's a CG scene where the Ziwei Star Lord is on his throne, and Shi Yan is holding Xing Ke in his arms, allowing the girl to fantasize... while many of the Star Officials of the Star Celestial Bureau are still inside the hall...

He looked at the girl in his arms, who was so shy that she was lost in thought.

Ahem... Getting back to the main topic, Shi Yan looked at the star official standing at the city gate.

"What is Yanshui City...?"

"The fairy doesn't know?" The star official looked astonished.

Shi Yan shook his head honestly.

The star official frowned. "Corpse Demon."

"Corpse Demon?" Shi Yan was stunned.

According to the description in the "Order to Connect with the Netherworld," someone should be waiting for Ran Meng in Yanshui City.

What... a corpse demon?

How could such a thing appear in the city?

“But fairy need not worry—” the star official sighed, “that corpse demon has almost no effect on cultivators.”

"Just an ordinary person..."

What about ordinary people?

Because of Shi Yan's high reputation and special 'status' within the Starry Sky Bureau, the star official did not intend to hide anything. "When ordinary people are attacked by the Corpse Demon, they initially only have a low-grade fever. But according to the diagnosis of our bureau's physicians, at this point, their internal organs have already begun to bleed."

"In less than three days, when bloodstains begin to appear in all nine orifices, it will be too late to save him."

"If the corpses are not dealt with in time, they will turn into new corpse demons."

Shi Yan's brows furrowed. "Have you found out the source?"

Was it an unexpected natural disaster... or a man-made one?

The star official shook his head.

"I understand." Shi Yan nodded, registered his basic information at the city gate, and then stepped into Yanshui City.

Yanshui City is just a small city within Youzhou, and it is still some distance away from the location of the Love Sea Demon Sect.

Besides the respawning of secret realms near Yanshui City, you can also shop for goods at Langya Pavilion in Yanshui City.

Shi Yan rarely comes to Yanshui City.

Shi Yan had no recollection of events like the appearance of the Corpse Demon, which is a random occurrence in the game.

But since I've already stumbled upon it, I might as well do something about it.

Shi Yan stepped straight into Yanshui City.

The star official looked at the names in the register.

"Master... said..."

He suddenly froze.

Wait, wait! ? ?

That name!?

The star official hurriedly pulled out a large stack of what looked like wanted posters from his storage ring, and quickly found a portrait of a handsome young man among them.

The boy's face slowly overlapped with the appearance of the stunningly beautiful girl who had just appeared.

The mission depicted in that portrait is rated five stars in importance.

This means...if discovered, do not disturb them, but report directly to the Starry Sky Division headquarters. That person is a crucial figure, extremely important even to the Starry Sky Division.

He immediately looked towards the city, but the girl's graceful figure had already disappeared.

The star official murmured, "Master's words..."

At the same time... a boy who had just been released from the city suddenly shook his head, feeling a little dizzy.

He quickened his pace and fled the town.

Walking on the streets of Yanshui City, a huge city that should be several times more prosperous than Nanjun City, the streets seemed somewhat deserted due to the rampage of the Corpse Demon.

Looking up, Shi Yan could see faint traces of talismans appearing in the sky, similar to the talismans used by the Star Heaven Division to seal off the forest near the Sword Tomb.

Shi Yan roughly understood why Yunshang had teleported him astray.

Because the location coordinates of Yanshui City were blocked by the Star Celestial Bureau, Yunshang was teleported off course.

Although...in fact...

Yunshang was truly just overwhelmed by the senses she had inherited from her younger sister. In her dazed state, her little hand slipped, which is why she teleported Shiyan to the wrong place.

Because of this incident, Yunyi extended her kneeling time on the washboard by another month.

Yunshang could only kneel pitifully on the washboard, then obediently and docilely like a big dog at home, letting Ruo Chuqing squat in front of her and feed her desserts.

Walking down the street, Shi Yan pondered the matter of the Corpse Demon.

This thing sounds terrifying and is contagious, but it's really nothing compared to the methods of the Star Celestial Division.

They usually appear in desolate wilderness areas, and are often corpse demons transformed from powerful cultivators, which is why the Star Heaven Bureau issues a bounty for them to be dealt with.

If a zombie appears in a town, you only need to deal with it in time, and then carefully investigate everyone the zombie has been in contact with, and you can quickly suppress the incident.

But right now...

The situation in Yanshui City is clearly not that simple.

Otherwise, the Starry Sky Division wouldn't have gone to such lengths to seal off the city.

Moreover... so many people were stopped and not allowed to leave the city.

The water here is very murky.

Corpse demons are not scary.

What's scary is people.

The master said that they needed to understand more deeply what had happened in Yanshui City.

And... the best place to get intelligence—

Shi Yan raised his head, looked at the wooden building in front of him that was almost indistinguishable from those in Nanjun City and Shuangyong City, took a deep breath, and went inside.
