After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

There's also a line of smaller text on the side...

"To cause embarrassment."

She watched Shi Yan's departing figure.

"Speaking of which...did I forget to remind Sister Shiyan of something?" Even as she said this, she seemed to be laughing even more happily.

On the other side—

Inside the city of Nanjun, at the Shi family residence.

The atmosphere in the Shi family's reception hall seemed somewhat heavy.

Apart from the Fourth Elder, whose mind had been crippled by Shi Yan, all the prominent figures of the Shi family were gathered here.

Even Shiya was sitting in the corner, holding her baby who was quietly sucking on snacks.

To the left of the Second Elder, a young girl dressed in an elaborate black dress sat there with an air of disdain, looking down at the hall with an almost contemptuous gaze.

The girl's forehead was decorated with a floral pattern made of three bright red diamonds.

His dark gold eyes were incredibly intimidating.

"A group of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people."

"I never expected this..."

"They actually managed to escape from Jizhou back then."

"Hiding in this forbidden area of ​​Kyushu."

"But will it even work?"

"Hiding in this barren, desolate place."

"The entire tribe is ruined."

"What's the use of clinging to life? There's not even one person who has shown any sign of their family lineage."

"Fairy—" The Second Elder looked at the girl before him with a grim expression, "Regarding the Holy Decree of our Master..."

The soft "slurp slurp slurp..." sound of the girl sucking on her snacks echoed clearly in the hall.

Shiya held the baby in her arms.

Nearby, Xiaxia seemed oblivious to the girl, and was teasing the little Pixiu.

Normally, she would have slapped him by now.

But... she looked at the girl sitting next to the Second Elder.

Shiya did it on purpose.

It's just a Nascent Soul cultivator.

What's there to brag about?

Master said that a Nascent Soul cultivator can be entrusted to either the Fetal Treasury or the Little Pixiu.

If all else fails, you can seek help from Yinghua City.

Shiya unconditionally believed her teacher's words.

Hearing the soft, sucking sounds, a "#" appeared on the girl's forehead. She slapped the armrest and looked at Shiya with her dark golden eyes.

The overwhelming aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator made everyone in the hall feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Is this how you treat your guests?"

However... that imposing aura shattered just as it was about to reach Xiaxia and Shiya, as easily as a soap bubble being popped.

I could feel the oppressive aura emanating from that place.

Sitting in Shiya's lap, sucking on candy, the Womb Mandala raised its head.

The girl's heart and lungs almost stopped.

Cherry-red eyes.

Those cherry-red eyes, which seemed harmless, instantly filled her entire field of vision.

The ahoge (cowlick) on the forehead of the womb-mandala swayed from side to side.

Thump thump thump thump! ! !

The girl's heart, which had almost stopped beating, began to pound wildly like a war drum.

Every cell in her body was screaming, but she was speechless.

It was as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat.

I've seen a ghost! I've really seen a ghost!

The girl remembered those eyes; they were the fear rooted deep in the bloodline of Huangtian Houtu, the eyes that every descendant of Huangtian Houtu was warned of from childhood.

That is...

The eyes of the devil.

A demon beyond the realm of gods.

No wonder this region is known as a forbidden area throughout Kyushu.

There's...there's demon here!!!

She staggered to her feet, no longer caring about the group of good-for-nothings behind her.

All she wanted to do was escape.

Before that demon turns me into a mindless beast.

Run!

Part 329 Heaven and Earth? The Tavern Owner's Ambush [First Update 5K Words]

Holding Ming Zhongqing in his arms, Shi Yan gently pushed open the half-open wooden gate of the tavern.

To free his hands, Shi Yan put one arm around Ming Zhongqing's shoulder, and the two were very close. Shi Yan could even clearly smell the girl's faint fragrance.

It smells so good.

It's probably the smell of spices like agarwood, carefully ground and then placed in a charcoal stove for inhalation.

It's not exactly tempting, but it makes you feel very comfortable.

Shi Yan glanced at Ming Zhongqing in his arms.

Honestly, it's so light.

The lightness of the pendant that Ming Zhongqing gave to Shi Yan was even greater than that of the small Pixiu or the small Womb Mandala.

At least these two little girls have a pink and soft feel to them.

Holding it in your arms is like holding a big gummy candy.

It actually is sweet.

But... Ming Zhongqing is different.

Skinny and bony.

Teacher Yan could even easily feel the lines of a girl's ribs on her side.

Unlike Aya's alluring beauty, where her voluptuous figure, when turned to the side, reveals the subtle lines of her ribs and the shadows of her abs in the dim morning sunlight, her figure is different.

Ming Zhongqing was simply thin.

The girl was so frail that Shi Yan even wondered if she might collapse at any moment.

Too--

No normal person would get drunk or pass out from drinking milk.

Shi Yan could laugh at her for months just because of this.

Pushing open the wooden gate of the tavern, Shi Yan had only walked a few steps when he saw the familiar archway across the alley.

She returned to Nanjun City.

The tavern shuttle service is great... everyone who's been there says it's excellent.

It's rare that I actually managed to leave the tavern while fully conscious.

Mo Shu is a rare woman who didn't deliberately dig a hole for herself.

"Miss Shi Yan—" In Nanjun City, people who recognized Shi Yan began to greet her one after another.

Then... they looked meaningfully at the girl in Shi Yan's arms, who was wearing a thin gauze dress with a sun pattern on it.

The girl's forehead shone even brighter than the sun emblem on her body.

"Yo yo yo—"

"Isn't this Miss Ming?"

"Haven't seen you for a few days..."

"They're all entangled with Miss Shiyan."

Shi Yan could already foresee the rumors circulating in Nanjun City in the future.

She walked straight to the teahouse across the alley.

The sun motif on the side of the archway indicates that the shop belongs to the Ming family.

Back then, after Ming Zhongqing's useless older brother was crippled, he was sent here to look after the shop, which is how he met the drunken Shi Yan.

Then... Shi Yan had the opportunity to run into Qin Suhuai.

This showed Qin Suhuai what it means for good things to come to those who wait.

Shi Yan simply stood in front of the teahouse and waited for a while.

Dengdengdeng-

A moment later, accompanied by hurried footsteps, an elderly man with white hair emerged from the teahouse.
