After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Who is she here to pick up?

The last option was incredibly dangerous. Just imagine, when Donghuang Li leaped down from Fei Ji and called out "My Lord Husband" to her—

Wen Ruya and Xia Xia suddenly appeared from the left and right respectively.

"Master..." in a seductive tone.

"You and the sister of the 'Taiyi Sect'..."

"They seem to have a good relationship."

"Sister..." came a pitiful voice.

"Who exactly is that woman?!"

"..."

Just thinking about that scene made Shi Yan feel like her whole body was cracking apart.

Fortunately—

Xia Xia is the most special one.

The girl had been marked by Shi Yan.

After opening the mini-map, Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaxia did not come.

Ming Zhongqing was probably after me.

Honestly... after Xiaxia got involved, the whole thing seemed to change, it felt like something was being stolen.

I'm Sorry, Xiaxia!

Before the "swaying leaves" ended, Shi Yan tried his best to avoid Ming Zhongqing's field of vision.

She appeared with her back against the wall.

Before Shi Yan, the two young ladies from the Starry Sky Division looked at this 'intruder' warily, but after seeing Shi Yan's face... they immediately bowed respectfully.

But... his gaze still couldn't help but drift towards Shi Yan.

The decent black dress she wore that morning was completely torn apart by Qin Suhuai's uncontrollable sword intent.

The miniskirt that Shi Yan is wearing now is the one she took out of Shi Hongqi's closet.

Because of the height difference between Shi Yan and Shi Hongqi.

What was originally a short skirt on Shi Hongqi had become a mini-skirt on Shi Yan.

When her arms hang down, her fingertips can even touch the hem of her skirt.

The girl's slender and shapely legs seemed to shimmer in the sunlight.

certainly--

It was a completely different type of light from Ming Zhongqing outside the door at that moment.

Slim legs paired with low-heeled sandals.

It's probably the kind of thing that will make people who love Windows XP unable to look away.

"Miss Shi...Miss Shi Yan—" Her head was already lowered, but Miss Xing Guan's gaze still unconsciously glanced downwards.

"Is that the girl that Lady Hoshiko has taken a liking to...?"

"It looks so good!"

"It seems that the conflict between the 'Starry Sky Bureau' and the 'Heaven and Earth Bureau' can finally come to a temporary end."

"Wait...wait a minute!"

"What did you say?"

"The girl that Lord Hoshiko has taken a liking to?"

"That was clearly the girl Miss Xing Qiyan had her eye on. I heard that on the stone bridge that day, Lady Xing Qiyan hugged her arm right there in the street."

In the private network of the "Star Celestial Bureau", several star officials almost got into an argument.

But... the final thing they all have in common is—

Their gazes toward Shi Yan immediately turned to one of reverence.

Whether it's the fourth son-in-law or the fifth son-in-law, in short... he's definitely one of our own sons-in-law.

Ignoring what those star ladies were thinking, Shi Yan didn't care much and used the eyes of the Womb Mandala to search for the location of the "Love Sea Demon Sect's" successor.

Outside Kyushu Passenger Transport Center...

Ming Zhongqing's gaze, which had been fixed on the Kyushu Passenger Transport Center, suddenly changed.

She cupped her hands and sniffed the air between her palms, as if she were smelling a familiar scent.

"Is it... Master's words?"

"She must have seen herself."

"Then...why are you avoiding me?"

Ming Zhongqing suddenly thought of the blue lotus that had slowly bloomed in the sky above Jizhou City.

A bitter taste gradually rose in the girl's mouth.

Too...

I guess I chose the most inappropriate time to appear.

But... I'm really unwilling to accept this.

Soon, Shi Yan found the location of the "Love Sea Demon Sect" to pick up Ji.

"Feel sorry..."

"I think I'm a little late." Shi Yan looked up at the position of the sun.

It is now past midnight, and logically speaking... Zhuan Ji of the "Love Sea Demon Sect" should have arrived by now.

However, Shi Yan did not detect any trajectory of the flying sword or magical artifact Qingzhi flying here.

There must have been a slight delay on the way.

Perfect timing, I can finally catch my breath and fix my makeup.

After all, what we are about to face is... the most severe challenge of today's hellish journey—

Wen Ruya and Donghuang Li.

He had to deal with Wen Ruya in a very short time, and then, with the sacrifice of Lord Dongjun, lead the "Love Sea Demon Sect" members away from the Kyushu Passenger Transport Center.

Originally... this matter shouldn't have been that difficult.

However, there is now a Ming Zhongqing standing outside the Kyushu Passenger Transport Center.

Ideally... I should avoid Ming Zhongqing's gaze.

That would greatly increase the difficulty.

After leaving the Kyushu Passenger Transport Center with the members of the "Love Sea Demon Sect"—

He had to find a suitable excuse to temporarily leave the group and return to the Kyushu Passenger Transport Center to await the arrival of "Taiichi Sect".

but--

During this period, he had to find a way to make Aya happy, but he couldn't let her follow him. He heard Donghuang Li's opening remarks.

Then... after finishing things at the Taiyi Sect, I must return to the Qinghai Demon Sect as soon as possible to settle my father, mother, and grandmother.

The worst-case scenario... is that one might have to constantly travel back and forth between the "Love Sea Demon Sect" and the "Taiyi Sect".

However... as long as Aya doesn't hear Donghuang Li's 'opening remarks' to her, everything will be fine.

At worst, I'll just have to confront them, and then... when Aya teases me, I'll just have to behave myself.

Anyway... I had already prepared myself to just give up and do whatever I wanted.

Discussing Daoist principles and comprehending swordsmanship with Qin Suhuai is no easy task; it is very physically demanding.

The ability to advance and retreat is the true measure of a Dharma vessel.

It's okay to let Aya be smug for a while now and then.

He raised his sleeve.

Shi Yan took a light sniff.

To be honest... she's still quite nervous.

Because at that moment, a faint scent of lilac lingered around him.

The probability of a rollover increases by 10%.

But you have to struggle at least once.

Taking another deep breath, Shi Yan looked at the girl beside him, who was supposed to be greeting guests from the "Heaven and Earth" sect. "The people from the 'Love Sea Demon Sect' shouldn't have arrived yet."

The girl shook her head vigorously.

The girl's gaze continued to slide downwards.

"Have the people from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect settled in this morning?"

"Hmm..." The girl nodded gently, "Lady Shi Wei personally went to receive them."

The girl had only spoken halfway when Shi Yan's eyes began to twitch uncontrollably.

Sure enough, even with careful attention, failures can still be found.

At that very moment—

Shi Yan could sense that a blue pheasant had flown over from the distant sky.
