After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

At the edge of the dark vortex and the crimson earth, the spiritual energy clusters kept interacting in the form of "Snow Cold Technique", "Departure from Heaven Record", or even "Hidden Sword Technique".

Sometimes it transforms into a light blue cloud that slowly rises, sometimes it transforms into a black mist that drifts, and sometimes it falls like a sword blade.

Master Yan could feel his cultivation level expanding.

Although I am still at the ninth level of the Jade Palace Realm, I am getting stronger every day.

The most obvious of them...

The constantly shifting spiritual energy was making Shi Hongqi's energy bar even more strained.

Shi Yan used the power of Shi Wei and Shi Hongqi to hone his soul.

However... the progress of my comprehension is slowing down.

Just like you can't always target the same one or two sheep when you're fleecing others, you have to change your targets.

Otherwise, even the most durable embryo will be completely worn out.

So~

She's going out for a stroll.

Shi Yan pushed Shi Hongqi back.

To paraphrase my teacher's words.

A girl's cultivation at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm is far too weak in the "Enlightenment Conference".

Although Shi Yan had given the girls a crash course before the "Enlightenment Conference" officially began, ... simply forcing them to learn wouldn't work.

Shi Hongqi's physical constitution is very poor, even worse than Xiaxia's.

If you want to break through and break through again, you still need to experience and understand it slowly on your own.

Pushing open the door to the side room, under the tense and fearful gaze of the gatekeeper maids, Shi Yan slowly extended his devilish claws towards them...

certainly--

He simply pinched the little girl's soft, tender cheeks.

After all, Shi Yan wasn't a bad person.

She left Shi Wei's house.

Shi Yan could clearly sense that after the martial arts arena two days ago, the gazes of those from "Huangtian Houtu" toward him were clearly divided into two groups.

One group reacted as if they'd seen a ghost upon seeing themselves, wishing they could turn around and run away immediately.

The other group... seemed to be suffering from Stockholm syndrome to some extent, hiding behind the pavilion and the flower gate, nervously watching them.

It's like a girl who wants to watch a horror movie—she wants to watch it, but she's also scared.

A pair of dark eyes stared nervously at him, but after he turned to look at them, they all scurried behind the wall.

There's really no way to avoid it...

The little girl simply picked up her head and squatted down on the ground.

An indescribable fear surfaced in his dark eyes, yet his gaze remained fixed firmly on Shi Yan's shadow.

In front of the group of girls, Shi Yan walked step by step toward the little girl who had used the "head-covering crouch defense" technique.

Behind the flower-adorned gates, corridors, pillars, and various walls, pairs of dark or dark gold eyes nervously watched the courtyard, their hearts pounding in their throats, as if some forbidden scene might unfold in broad daylight at any moment.

The poor thing is about to become a feast in the devil's mouth.

Shi Yan slowly walked around to the girl's back.

She could see the little girl's shoulders trembling like a sieve; the girl didn't even have the courage to turn around, and could only squeeze out pitiful cries from her mouth.

Shi Yan tilted his head.

If she remembered correctly... the little girl's name was...

Shi Moyi?

The girl sitting next to Shi Wei in the martial arts arena.

She seems to be a big fan of Shi Wei.

Shi Yan slowly bent down.

She grabbed the girl by the knees and picked her up.

Shi Moyi trembled in Shi Yan's arms, his body stiff as a wooden sculpture, and the sobbing sounds he could squeeze out turned into soft exhalations like "ha-ha."

A glistening moisture welled up in his dark eyes.

Behind the courtyard wall, girls were already letting out gasps of surprise.

Holding the girl's legs, Shi Yan carried her to a small stone bench in the courtyard and gently put her down.

Teacher Yan gently patted the girl's head.

The girl's eyes were open, her pupils almost unfocused, seemingly fixed on some distant void.

She didn't even know when that terrible demon had put her down.

Only after Shi Yan left did his body begin to tremble violently, and finally he lay down deeply, burying his face in the stone table.

Shi Yan's figure disappeared into the courtyard like the wind.

Only then did the girls dare to peek out slightly to look at the pitiful 'victims' in the yard.

Shi Yan's figure materialized behind the flower gate in the courtyard.

Shi Yan looked at the girl in front of him, who had her hands on another girl's shoulders and was craning her neck to look at the girl in the courtyard, and gently patted her shoulder.

The girl pushed Shi Yan's hand away impatiently.

Shi Yan wasn't in a hurry, and gently patted the girl's shoulder again.

"What are you doing..." the girl muttered, still ignoring Shi Yan.

Shi Yan's lips gradually curved into a smile as she patted the girl's shoulder again.

"You're so annoying..." The girl finally couldn't help but turn around, and then she saw a smiling face right in front of her.

That little face had a wicked smile.

"...Sigh." Her voice finally faded.

The next second—

"Eee ...

Shi Yan watched the girls scatter like birds and beasts, and slowly walked back to the courtyard.

This is the kind of grandeur a 'Great Demon King' should have.

She looked into those beautiful, dark eyes in front of her.

He reached out and tapped the little girl's head, then blinked once.

Shi Moyi was certainly not Shi Yan's target.

The little girl's cultivation level is still too immature.

Judging from the girl's dark, bright eyes, she probably hasn't triggered [Phoenix Feather] yet.

The "Phoenix Feather" thing... sometimes Shi Yan really hopes it will never be triggered in its entire life.

Shi Yan was simply teasing the little girl.

She was scrolling through the small map.

Before obtaining the "Transformation Spirit Qi", Shi Yan wanted to stabilize the creation of the world's Purple Mansion by the "Primordial Crimson Technique" and the "Mysterious Heaven Scripture".

So...she needs a little bit of outside help.

There's no hope for Shi Wei and Shi Hongqi.

The girl was already too busy taking care of herself.

The best candidate to capture Shi Yan right now is Shi Hongjian from "Huangtian Houtu", or... the Xing family.

After rubbing the girl's face until it was almost flushed, Shi Yan leisurely got up.

Let's go visit Xing's place first.

certainly--

Absolutely... absolutely not. Shi Yan felt that Shi Hongjian's attitude towards him was too strange.

She felt she was already a bit overwhelmed by this older sister, so she decided to start by dealing with the weaker ones.

Is Shi Yan that kind of person?

Wearing Shi Wei's black high-waisted skirt, Shi Yan swaggered out of "Huangtian Houtu".

Before leaving, she even had time to turn back and wave goodbye to the air.

Shi Yan knew that Shi Hongjian was reading it.

The high-waisted long skirt has a slight resemblance to a cheongsam.

The teardrop-shaped collar features delicate piping and small Chinese knot buttons.

The straight collar of the dress hugged the girl's fair neck. Through the gaps in the naturally draped water droplets, glimpses of tender, white skin were revealed—not blatant, but alluring nonetheless.

Between the buttons and the cord, it seems as if a myriad of enchanting charms are locked away.

Although it's called a long skirt, the hem only just covers the knees.

Her graceful movements exude elegance and charm.

However... no matter how beautiful a girl's makeup is, it's a bit scary to see her walking straight towards the "Starry Sky Division" in a black dress.

Everyone in Jizhou City knew about the minor conflict between "Heaven and Earth" and "Starry Sky Bureau".

Everyone knows... a girl wearing that kind of dark dress must be a rich and powerful young lady.

The more elaborate the patterns on a black long dress, the higher the girl's status.

The dark mountain and earth patterns on Shi Yan's long dress are definitely among the top in the "Heaven and Earth" realm.

But... this is the kind of girl who stepped straight into the "Starry Sky Division".
