After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Master Yan's consciousness is very special.

She had tested him when they were at the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

At that time, Shi Yan had not yet broken through to the Jade Palace Realm, but even then... cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm could no longer sense her spying.

Unless Shi Yan personally touches and traces the body with his divine sense, it will not be discovered.

Only those at the Nascent Soul stage can capture Shi Yan's divine sense.

To restrain Shi Yan's consciousness, one would need at least the cultivation and skill of Qin Suhuai.

but--

Xiao Xiaolou in front of me...

The master rapidly withdrew his consciousness.

The woman stretched out her hand, and the air in front of her whistled.

As if space itself were collapsing, the surrounding trees made a sickening cracking sound before finally snapping and gathering in the direction Xiao Xiaolou reached out, forming a large wooden ball.

"Aeroblast——"

"Teacher's words—"

Shi Yan looked at her from a distance.

From Xiao Xiaolou's words... Shi Yan heard a familiar voice.

It has a slightly aloof air, but also a touch of the wicked.

Shi Yan's face turned cold.

I write after hearing about someone.

Sure enough... the anomaly here is related to her.

Without giving Shi Yan a chance to consider whether to charge in alone or to plan ahead and meet up with Donghuang Jin first.

With her face as pale as paper, Xiao Xiaolou floated towards Shi Yan's direction.

Shui Yun saw Xiao Xiaolou's figure.

"Elder Xiao!??" She was somewhat surprised.

"Take the little girl and hide behind!" Shi Yan stood between Xiao Xiaolou and Shui Yun.

Xiao Xiaolou reached out his hand to Shi Yan again.

"It's been a long time..." Xiao Xiaolou looked at Shi Yan expressionlessly, her lips slightly pursed, but the voice she uttered was completely different from her own.

"You write about people you've heard about!!!" Shi Yan shouted her name angrily.

The air twisted again, and wind blades raged.

"Arctic Space...Explosion—"

But this time, Shi Yan had no way out.

Behind him were Shui Yunshen and Ming Zhongqing.

With Ming Zhongqing's pathetic speed and stamina, there's no way he could escape.

The teacher opened his arms wide.

Behind her, a woman in frost blue slowly emerged and embraced Shi Yan from behind.

Six frost swords, like the woman's wings, swept out from behind her.

The frost sword traced a flower bud-like mark in the air, leaving behind specks of blue light that converged in front of Shi Yan.

The unseen wind blades were torn apart by the even sharper sword edge.

Holding Shi Yan tightly, Xi Xue Zhi Wu looked up at Xiao Xiao Lou.

This is what Shi Jiuzhou is most jealous of.

When fighting, Snow Dance always manages to embrace Shi Yan in an illusion.

And he himself... could only be held in Shi Yan's hands.

The Frost Sword struck Xiao Xiaolou with lightning speed.

Xiao Xiaolou stood there motionless.

As expected... just as Wenren Ershu thought.

Shi Yan would never kill those she manipulates.

The frost sword merely grazed Xiao Xiaolou's neck.

The frost-like spiritual energy invaded, attempting to directly subdue Xiao Xiaolou.

But... the Dance of Fine Snow miscalculated.

"Her body is not under her own control."

The dance of fine snow was explained in the teacher's ear.

The teacher nodded to indicate that he understood.

Techniques that manipulate others, such as Wenren Ershu, can be broadly divided into two categories: one is like the Heavenly Demon bewitching the mind, and the other is like the Shadow Demon Lord's "Puppet Shadow Curse," which directly manipulates the physical body.

The intrusion attack from Fine Snow Dance could only target the former.

Originally... she thought that Wenren Ershu, as the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon, would choose the former.

But to everyone's surprise, Wenren Ershu chose the latter.

Xiao Xiaolou reached out his hand to Shi Yan again.

The frost sword that had just grazed her body turned back and stabbed at her vital point from behind.

Fine Snow Dance had no choice but to resort to direct damage.

But... clang—

A crisp, clear sound.

The shield behind Xiao Xiaolou unfolded.

Under Shi Yan's gaze, which suddenly made his heart leap into his throat... more Taiyi Sect cultivators emerged from the forest.

Without exception—

It was their pale little faces and lifeless eyes.

They were all Taiyi Sect cultivators who stayed behind in the camp.

This was an unjust brawl.

Shi Yan wasn't particularly afraid of being ganged up on.

Her only worry was that there were too many people, and she might not be able to control herself.

If a few people were seriously injured, she would have a hard time explaining it.

At that very moment—

Phew! ! !

The clear chirping of birds.

A raging, bright white flame burst forth in front of Shi Yan.

The four-clawed eagle spread its wings in front of Shi Yan, but Xiao Xiaolou's magic only caused the eagle's body to twist slightly.

A brawl?

Ming Zhongqing stood behind Shi Yan.

What she fears least is being ganged up on.

As the sun rises, a jet-black three-legged bird surveys the earth.

The winged lion spread its wings and let out a deep roar.

Ming Zhongqing watched Shi Yan's retreating figure with satisfaction.

This time... it's my turn to protect you.

"Leave this to me—" she said with a light smile to Shi Yan, "You go find the mastermind behind this."

"Writing based on what one hears about?"

"Is that so?"

“But you…” Shi Yan turned around, wanting to explain Zhong Qing’s physical condition.

Then... Shi Yan stood there, stunned.

Ming Zhongqing himself also transformed into Yang Yan.

The girl's gorgeous dress seemed to burn fiercely, outlining her delicate, white lines.

She was like a sprite leaping in the fire.

The most crucial thing is...

Ming Zhongqing's hair turned into a wildfire.

With flames as its hair, it is light and dreamlike.

No more worries about receding hairlines.

Although... it's still very bright.

Do not--

It's more accurate to say it's brighter.

This time, however, there was no sense of humor; on the contrary, it even seemed somewhat sacred.

Is this Ming Zhongqing's 'complete form'?

Shi Yan seemed to regret not unlocking all of Ming Zhongqing's CGs back then.

"What's wrong?" Ming Zhongqing looked at Shi Yan curiously.
