After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The description given by the Lord of Loulan... wasn't it the torment the girl suffered when he saw the Pure Color Mandala?

"Isn't Jingse the most afraid of pain?" The Lord of Loulan pinched the corner of Jingse Mandala's mouth as if he were kneading a pet.

"Go back quickly."

"Once you return to the Outer Heavens, they, and this world, will be powerless against you."

"No!" the young demon girl said indignantly.

Shi Yan suddenly noticed.

At this time... the eyes of the Pure Color Mandala were still the same cherry red as those of the Garbhadhatu Mandala.

"I...I'm not afraid of pain." The voice sounded very weak.

The teacher said that he never expected that.

The seemingly wicked and evil Demon of the Outer Heaven is actually a formidable figure in the entire Outer Heaven, almost second only to one demon and above all others.

I'm actually afraid of pain.

How should I put it... it reminds me of the embarrassing state of my own pink-haired little demon girl.

You people from the Outer Heavens are truly 'pure and simple in spirit'.

“I…if I go back,” Pure Color Mandala struggled.

"You can't beat them...you'll die..."

“But if you stay, we will die anyway.” In their field of vision, 'themselves' reached out a hand.

The expression on Jingse Mandala's face suddenly turned panicked, "Loulan..."

"Loulan!!!"

"What are you trying to do!?"

What do you want to do?

"I..." 'I' touched the girl's brow, "I'm just fulfilling my duty—"

"My rights and...obligations as the master."

Suddenly, the entire body of the Pure Color Mandala began to emit light red specks, and her figure slowly became transparent and disappeared.

Shi Yan realized what the ruler of Loulan had done.

The cultivation method practiced by the Lord of Loulan... is exactly the same as his own, the [Record of Leaving Heaven].

She is the one in control of the contract.

At this moment, the Lord of Loulan took the initiative to send the Heavenly Demon who had signed the contract back to the Outer Heavens.

"No!!!" The Pure Color Mandala struggled, biting its own flesh hard. "Don't do this!!!"

You will die!

"You really will die!"

"Loulan!!!"

"The soul is pale!"

"fraud!"

"You big liar!!!"

"You promised me!!!"

"My..." came the increasingly weak voice.

"My ring..."

"You haven't given it to me yet."

Faced with the tearful, pure-colored mandala, 'himself' simply lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of the girl's eye.

"Take good care of yourself..."

Time will heal all wounds.

"Then--"

"Forget me."

"To the Heavenly Demons, humans are merely toys to pass the time...aren't they?"

Shi Yan simply looked on.

This time, the Demon King's tears... were so salty they tasted bitter.

"I hate you!"

"fraud!"

I hate you!!!

The image of the pure-colored mandala completely disappeared.

but--

This is unlike any other mystical realm I've encountered before.

The illusion is not over yet.

Shi Yan looked down at the ever-changing clouds and winds, and before him... lay a lake as clear as a mirror.

She looked at her reflection in the lake.

Very thin.

Not very plump.

He wore a hideous mask carved from ice crystals, revealing his chin and mouth.

Shi Yan looked at the reflection of the Lord of Loulan.

"Teacher's words—"

Shi Yan felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

"Promise me...take good care of her..."

"Okay."

"Don't... make her suffer anymore."

Chapter 268, the Azure Lotus Sword Sect arc, has come to an end. Your Loulan is quite skilled, isn't she? [First update, 4.5kbps]

Break free from that dazed state.

Shi Yan still felt cold sweat seeping down his back.

Who would believe such a thing if I told them?

The "Lord of Loulan" from a thousand years ago... recited his own name to himself, an "unknown nobody".

"The teacher said..."

"Promise me...take good care of her..."

"Okay."

"Don't... make her suffer anymore."

That voice still seems to linger in my ears.

Shi Yan had no intention of getting involved in the messy affairs of the "Lord of Loulan".

certainly--

She will still take good care of the Pure Color Mandala.

However... judging from the current clues, it seems impossible for me to avoid getting involved in the mess of the Lord of Loulan.

There must be countless, indelible connections between myself and that person.

The pupils refocus.

The touch transmitted through the fingertips is soft and real.

Shi Yan looked at the girl who was lying humiliated in his arms.

The Pure Color Mandala looked at herself with shame and indignation, raising her small face, which was quite similar to Jun Qianrou's childlike form.

And his own hand... was exactly what the Lord of Loulan did to the Pure Color Mandala, just as he had seen in his Profound Realm state.

He pinched the corner of the girl's mouth.

However... the expression on the Pure Color Mandala's face was completely different from when she faced the Lord of Loulan.

In the state of profound understanding, this otherworldly demon appeared so obedient and compliant.

And now... the pure-colored mandala between his fingers looked as if it wanted to bite his fingers and bite them hard.

"Ugh... don't go too far."

Because Shi Yan pinched her lips, Jingse Mandala's voice sounded slightly muffled.

Teacher Yan released the girl's small face.

It looked like there was still some saliva on his fingertips.

"I'm sorry—" Shi Yan apologized to the Pure Color Mandala without thinking.

The girl's pupils contracted slightly.

His head was tilted to one side.

Actually, thinking about it now...

The reason I have so much goodwill towards the Pure Color Mandala is...

It was probably influenced by the "Lord of Loulan".

Within their own innate destiny, there are also innate destiny elements such as [Loulan Ancient Moon].
