After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

She avoided Shi Yan's touch and his gaze.

Because she didn't know how to face it.

Just being held by Shi Yan's hand made her feel like her consciousness was about to float away. "Wh...what's wrong?"

She tried to shake off Shi Yan's hand.

However, to Shi Yan, the girl's strength looked like she was being coquettish.

Shi Yan gripped his hand even tighter.

Donghuang Li's shoulders were trembling slightly.

Shi Yan simply observed the changes in Donghuang Li's expression, noticing the awkwardness on the girl's face that was easy to understand without careful observation.

How could Shi Yan not understand the girl's nervousness at that moment?

She was just maliciously... maliciously admiring her own 'masterpiece,' deliberately watching the girl struggle.

Shi Yan deliberately bumped into Donghuang Li with his shoulder.

Donghuang Li trembled, as if she would fall over from just a light bump from Shi Yan.

She could only subconsciously lean her body weight on Shi Yan.

She wanted to turn away, but Shi Yan didn't give her the chance.

“Look—” Shi Yan whispered in Donghuang Li’s ear.

"Is someone following us?"

Her eyes seemed to curve upwards in a joyful arc.

Donghuang Li inhaled the sweet, warm breath on her ear and looked in the direction Shi Yan indicated.

Indeed, she saw a familiar face.

"These people seem to have been following us for the past few days." Shi Yan held the girl's hand, gesturing for Donghuang Li to look over, but not too obviously.

"Sometimes they are fruit vendors—"

"Sometimes it's among the street performers, there's one wearing a mask who keeps staring at us."

"Are they here to see Ah Li?"

Donghuang Li nodded gently and answered softly, "Yes..."

suddenly--

Among those unremarkable people, Donghuang Li saw a very special person.

It was a woman holding a bunch of candied hawthorns.

Well... the disguise was very perfunctory.

Or rather, he looked like he was forced into a disguise.

The woman didn't even take off the cloak of the Taiyi Sect.

He simply took off his hat and then put another cloak over his cloak.

Including the space between her eyebrows.

It also features a very prominent floral pattern depicting the sun and the heavens.

When a little child walks up to her and tentatively extends their small hand...

Without saying a word, the woman would immediately stuff a string of candied hawthorns into the child's hand and then take the coins from the child's palm.

As for... how much money was received, and how much change to give.

It seemed to be completely outside the scope of her thinking.

The child's mouth was pursed... watching as the money that could have bought two skewers of candied hawthorn ended up being only enough for one.

Seeing the woman's 'cold as ice' and 'forceful' attitude, he could only run away to find his parents, feeling wronged.

But...it's quite obvious.

Parents wouldn't dare provoke such a powerful figure.

The other party's cultivation level was unfathomable; they were clearly from the Taiyi Sect.

The woman simply stared blankly in Donghuang Li's direction, noticing his gaze directed at her—

Lips move.

Donghuang Li's body trembled slightly.

Shi Yan saw that woman.

The woman simply looked calmly at Shi Yan, then turned and left, carrying her candied hawthorns.

The teacher seemed to be deep in thought.

into the night.

Shi Yan heard the rustling sounds coming from the next room.

Donghuang Li is getting dressed.

He glanced at the little girl Ba, who was fast asleep and tangled together, and the pure-colored mandala that was blinking at him.

Shi Yan made a shushing gesture.

She transformed into a gentle breeze, drifting through the gaps in the hall.

Sure enough... Donghuang Li tiptoed open the door, looking like she was about to go somewhere.

Shi Yan followed behind Donghuang Li.

The teacher has a very good memory.

Since entering the Cave Heaven Realm, she has been able to clearly recall many things.

for example--

She had seen the woman from the daytime before.

She is the woman whom Donghuang Li subconsciously called "aunt".

Shi Yan trailed far behind Donghuang Li, watching her walk towards the other side of the city.

However... Donghuang Li didn't notice, and even Shi Yan didn't notice.

The entire street seemed to be undergoing some kind of unseen change.

It wasn't until Donghuang Li stopped in a panic.

Only then did Shi Yan realize the abnormality.

This street... is too long.

Inside the inn—

The pure-colored mandala, who was holding the little girl Ba in her arms like a pillow, suddenly stood up.

She tilted her head to look in the direction Shi Yan had been.

Yes, before.

The master's presence... vanished.

286 The world that was cut out, and... Jun Qianrou!! ? [First update, 4K words]

Stop and turn around.

In the distance, the long street seemed to stretch endlessly into the deep night.

There was no strange mist, no flickering, eerie light or shadow.

It's just an ordinary street... seemingly endless.

Shi Yan instinctively felt a chill run down his spine.

It's too quiet—

It was eerily quiet.

It was as if all the sounds of the world had been erased.

Only his own breathing, Donghuang Li's footsteps... and... the gentle, rhythmic sound of the wind remained.

She has walked this street many times in the past few days.

Logically, you only need to walk a few hundred meters and turn into the alleyway to see the Starry Sky Bureau's commission board and the tavern's sign.

Walk a little further ahead, and you'll reach Yinghua City via another street.

But... Shi Yan recalled the scene after he came out with Donghuang Li.

The street stretches on and on.

The shops on both sides of the street unfolded before Shi Yan's eyes in his mind like a toy puzzle.

It's just a toy-like landscape, an area of ​​buildings that seems like it could be taken down piece by piece.

Then it repeats infinitely according to some arbitrarily disrupted pattern.

It was as if... Shi Yan was looking at the silk shop next to him.

She had seen this storefront several times before.

Twice on the left, four times on the right.

Every time, there was a tea shop to the right of the silk shop, which seemed out of place. However, according to Shi Yan's memory, it was indeed this tea shop in reality.

And... to the left of the silk shop.

Several options were presented.
