After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"Shi Yan!" She no longer felt the shame and anger she had before; she simply looked at Shi Yan.

"I saw your and the Holy Maiden of the Love Sea Demon Sect at my sister's place..." Donghuang Li suddenly covered her mouth with both hands.

Shi Yan's eye twitched violently.

"Wait...wait!??"

Let me sort this out.

This script isn't just wrong in some ways, it's absolutely terrible.

It's full of flaws from every angle.

I really want to say, what did you look at? Let me see it too.

However, reason tells Shi Yan that it's better not to delve too deeply into some things.

So who on earth could possibly have such a brain?

The teacher gritted his teeth in anger.

If she catches me.

I will definitely use the authority of the [Happy Heaven - Womb Mandala] to send her to the Red Powder Hell to absorb some experience.

Because she said something she shouldn't have, the girl suddenly became very well-behaved.

This saved the teacher a lot of trouble.

However... looking at Donghuang Li's bright, sparkling eyes, Shi Yan still couldn't help but feel a headache.

Just then, seeing that nothing more would happen, Pure Color Mandala released the little girl, Ba.

Under Donghuang Li's tense gaze, the girl who looked young but was actually terrifying... no! She was an old monster who approached step by step.

A pure-colored mandala lay between Donghuang Li and Shiyan.

"Huh!??" To Shi Yan's somewhat surprised gaze, Jingse Mandala tiptoed and helped Shi Yan straighten his clothes.

Just now, in order to better conceal Donghuang Li, Shi Yan slightly opened his clothes.

The robe, which originally only partially exposed one shoulder, was torn so that almost both shoulders were completely exposed.

It's loose and inviting.

"Please be careful not to corrupt Lady Ba." Pure Color Mandala glanced up at Shi Yan as if making an excuse.

The teacher could only laugh awkwardly.

Beside her, Donghuang Li bit her lower lip as she looked at the Pure Color Mandala.

For some reason, she sensed a sense of competition from this 'bodyguard'.

At this point, it would be quite pathetic for Shi Yan not even to know his own name.

Donghuang Li hummed softly, very softly, "I am..."

"Tai Li".

"You can also call me Donghuang Li."

"Aunt... well, the reason those people from the Taiyi Sect are chasing me is..."

"I've run away from home again."

Shi Yan's eyes twitched violently as she tried her best to maintain the smile on her face.

As expected...

Although I already knew the whole story.

However, thinking about how dignified and serene Donghuang Li would be a few years later, it's surprising to see her acting so impulsive and reckless at this moment.

Shi Yan still felt something was off.

There were still people from the Taiyi Sect loitering outside. Shi Yan looked at the nervous girl in front of him.

It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

The place where people from the Taiyi Sect just came out... might be surprisingly safe.

only--

I'm about to 'betray' myself again.

Shi Yan brought Donghuang Li back to the tavern.

The tavern owner, leaning over the counter, drew circles on the counter with her slender fingertips. She looked at Shi Yan without any surprise.

It was as if... she had foreseen this all along.

Or perhaps—

She had been watching this spectacle intently.

Donghuang Li followed behind Shi Yan, looking around the tavern with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity.

The tavern was empty.

The scene was completely different when Shi Yan left, with only a few people remaining.

However, Shi Yan was not surprised.

Anything can happen in this tavern.

Moreover, Donghuang Li was with him, so it was perfect that no one else was around.

"You expected this all along?" Shi Yan sat down in front of the tavern owner with an annoyed expression.

This time, the tavern owner only pushed a glass of juice over to Shi Yan, and then pushed a glass of hot milk over to Donghuang Li, Xiao Nv Ba, and Jingse Mandala.

"I don't drink milk..." Donghuang Li and Jingse Mandala were clearly still a little unaccustomed to it.

"It helps with development." The tavern owner's casual remark instantly subdued the two men.

But... I was halfway through making the pure-colored mandala when I realized something was wrong.

He himself was a celestial demon.

What a load of rubbish!

If you want to grow taller and become like Shi Yan, all you need to do is sign a new contract with Shi Yan.

It's just that... I didn't want to.

But suddenly giving up at this moment feels cowardly.

The pure-colored mandala could only be sipped slowly, pretending nothing had happened.

"Probably," the tavern owner replied to Shi Yan's question.

She didn't see it—

She...was only indirectly responsible for all of this.

The tavern owner watched as she drank the juice.

"You lied to them, told them... Donghuang Li went to Qiancheng County?" Shi Yan looked at her.

The tavern owner's expression suddenly turned serious.

She looked at Shi Yan earnestly, "I never lie—"

"We will not falsify intelligence."

Shi Yan frowned slightly, "But..."

“I just told them—” the tavern owner continued, “that their young lady might be in Qiancheng County right now.”

The tavern owner emphasized the words 'now' and 'possibly', adding, "Or perhaps they are on their way to 'Qiancheng County'."

Shi Yan sensed something was amiss.

But...why...?

The world before my eyes seemed to be swaying, and a numb sensation spread across my tongue.

She seemed unable to taste the sweet and sour flavor of the juice anymore.

"The Tomb of Loulan is located in Qiancheng County," the tavern owner said confidently.

"So you will definitely go."

"She will definitely go."

"Ha—" Shi Yan only breathed softly.

"You know what?" The tavern owner proudly raised her index finger as she looked at the alluring blush on Shi Yan's face.

Beside her, the Pure Color Mandala was already staring intently at her.

The girl's body was filled with demonic energy, and her aura surged.

The terrifying aura emanating from her was so powerful that it made Donghuang Li, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, tremble.

Crossing...the Tribulation Realm!?

Or even higher!?

Enlightenment!?

Or... something even more terrifying!?

What exactly is Shi Yan's identity that makes such a cultivator follow her around so eagerly?

The tavern owner didn't look at the pure-colored mandala; she simply explained it to Shi Yan.

"This is jujube juice—"

"Eating one can increase a mortal's lifespan by one hundred years and increase their cultivation by one hundred years."

Although~~~

“The potency will be reduced if it’s juiced,” she said smugly. “However, the juice of the juniper fruit can mask the smell of alcohol.”

The teacher's words almost overwhelmed me.

She frantically activated the Snow Cold Technique and the Hidden Sword Technique to help herself dispel the effects of the alcohol.
