After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

She has a keen insight into what she is doing.

This made Shi Yan even less inclined to use traditional skills.

As for... leaving behind the Pure Color Mandala and little girl Ba, and going to Yinghua City by himself...?

This option was almost immediately ruled out.

I cannot leave the pure-colored mandala alone in the inn.

Especially... leaving the little girl Ba with her at the inn.

According to the previous statements of the Pure Color Mandala.

If he were willing to hand over the little girl Ba to her, she would be able to possess one-third of the power of the Lord of Loulan.

How powerful was the ruler of Loulan during its heyday a thousand years ago?

The teacher said he wasn't sure and didn't know.

But she understood—

The Lord of Loulan, who can be called the "Demon Lord of a Lifetime" and the "Strongest Enemy in the Mortal World," can only be stopped by causing immortals from beyond the mortal realm to fall into the mortal world.

Even with only a third of his power, he couldn't possibly withstand it in his current state.

Although he himself had the authority of "Happy Day".

Although he possessed the [Heavenly Demon Authenticity] of the Pure Color Mandala.

But Shi Yan was unwilling to gamble.

Especially... Shi Yan stroked the ring that was firmly locked on her finger.

[A pardon from Heaven].

Shi Yan had not forgotten what Yun Mengming had told him.

Yunmeng Ming could not help her cancel the heavenly tribulation lightning.

What Yunmengming did was... merely delay the arrival of the tribulation lightning.

When he stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm and prepared to undergo the tribulation, the tribulation lightning combined the tribulation lightning of a cultivator breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm and the tribulation lightning of a cultivator with a naturally born holy body breaking through.

They will fall together.

Whenever Shi Yan looked up, he seemed to be able to recall the scene he saw at the Love Sea Demon Sect.

Looking up, all I could see was complete darkness.

The calamity clouds that obliterate the sun and moon seem to have no end.

The great calamity of sainthood, which had been accumulating for over a decade, was enraged by the [Great Array of Reversing the Palace of All Demons in the Capital]... It was a calamity that no human could possibly withstand.

Although Shi Yan felt that he was special, he wasn't that arrogant.

He felt that he would be able to handle the calamity that had left even Wenwan, Yunmengji, and Yunmengming helpless.

Just as Yunmengming said—

Before that... you absolutely, positively must not use up [Phoenix Feather].

Otherwise... when it really comes time to undergo tribulation.

There was no way out for them.

You can't gamble on whether the Pure Color Mandala will keep its vows.

Moreover... there's always a certain feeling about Shi Yan.

If I really go to Yinghua City, even if I don't bring the Pure Color Mandala with me, she will somehow find out where I am.

If she finds out about Hua Xiangrong...

Shi Yan seemed to already see the two little girls rolling around together, pulling each other's hair.

As for... Donghuang Li?

Shi Yan recalled the girl's weak legs and aggrieved expression.

Forget it.

It's not good to always bully one person.

Although I did manage to get the most favor from the girls, reality is different from the game.

In the past few days, Shi Yan could clearly feel the girl's elusive attitude towards him, wanting to touch him but then running away like a frightened rabbit whenever she was touched.

Shi Yan could only sigh helplessly.

She had already made a mental note of Wen Qieyun.

I will make Wen Qieyun pay back everything I have endured these past few days, stroke by stroke!

This is what the master said!

Behind the teacher's words—

The Pure Color Mandala was not in a good mood either.

She could smell the alluring fragrance emanating from Shi Yan.

The aura of desire that had been emanating from Shi Yan these past few days had truly tempted the Pure Color Mandala.

But... the problem is that Shi Yan was only brewing it.

They didn't even give themselves a chance to inhale.

He couldn't possibly treat Shi Yan the same way he treated Donghuang Li.

One was an 'insignificant' passerby.

The other one... is his own genuine 'owner'.

The two are completely different in status.

The Pure Color Mandala could only watch helplessly as the enormous treasure chest lay before it, yet... it could only see endless treasures slip away before its very eyes.

That kind of torment... this guy is even worse than Loulan back then.

At least the desire emanating from Loulan wasn't as frank as this guy's.

He was practically a demon.

This method of clamping down on a cat that has a liking for catnip, then vigorously waving the catnip in front of her nose without letting her inhale it... has tormented the Pure Color Mandala to no end.

She was that cat who suffered so much.

Something must have happened to Shi Yan these past few days.

The Pure Color Mandala immediately reminded me of the booklet that Shi Yan had mysteriously brought back a few days ago.

She instinctively felt that...

The teacher said that his unusual behavior these past few days was related to that booklet with a special fragrance.

But... Shi Yan wouldn't show it to her.

Every time Shi Yan finished reading it, he would put it directly into his storage ring, without giving it any chance.

"Alas—" Pure Color Mandala sighed deeply.

It must be that guy from the Womb Mandala... who tripped me up.

It was by manipulating the threads of his own destiny that he became so unlucky.

They will be controlled by those two bastards, Loulan and Shiyan.

Although... Pure Color Mandala knew that was impossible.

The Fate Line has absolutely no effect on her, as an otherworldly demon.

That's just something the heavens use to fool mortals.

Beside the pure-colored mandala, the little girl Ba also sighed, letting out a long sigh.

Girls don't have these kinds of worries.

She was simply imitating the pure color mandala.

At the very back of the line, Donghuang Li simply gazed at the unfamiliar marketplace.

She showed none of the novelty she used to feel when she secretly ran away from home and looked at the unfamiliar world.

Now... the girl's gaze was completely fixed on the slender back of the girl at the front.

Donghuang Li had no idea what was wrong with her.

All she knew was that she seemed to be acting strangely.

Donghuang Li raised her right hand.

She looked at the peony ornament on the ring on her right hand.

Then his gaze fell on Shi Yan's hands.

My gaze always involuntarily falls on Shi Yan's figure.

But... Donghuang Li knew that shouldn't be done—

That's strange.

Both she and her teacher are girls.

But... Donghuang Li then thought of the picture book she had seen from her sister.

The girl tilted her head, and her eyes seemed to shimmer with a captivating, watery light.

It seems... that's not the case.

"Ah Li?" She was suddenly awakened by Shi Yan's overly intimate way of addressing her.

"Huh?" The girl's stunned expression left Shi Yan speechless.

She simply took Donghuang Li's hand without making a sound.

Donghuang Li's small hands clenched unconsciously, and she felt her palms sweating.

For the past few days... she has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Shi Yan.
