After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

In this world, who would be an enemy of Shi Yan?

Those minor sects?

Are you kidding me?

What Shi Hongjian was worried about was whether Shi Yan, by offering himself to the demon, would become a plaything in the hands of the Heavenly Demon.

Could it be... like the ruler of Loulan a thousand years ago?

She even caused immortals to fall to the mortal realm, so they must kill her.

That's the real trouble.

"Can killing an immortal allow me to break through to the Enlightenment Realm and ascend to immortality?"

For a fleeting moment, an excessively bold idea suddenly surged into Shi Hongjian's mind.

He gestured for Shi Yan to go back and rest.

Shi Hongjian was stationed at "Starry Sky Square".

The sky was overcast, and a fine drizzle was falling.

Last Yue Lan has already been taken back by the people of "Starry Sky Division".

After having Shi Yan as a stepping stone, the relationship between "Starry Sky Division" and "Heaven and Earth" gradually eased like a gentle rain.

The burned-out Shangyue Lan will be thrown into the depths of the "Starry Sky Bureau", a simple hut with heavy guards.

Meanwhile, the "Starry Sky Bureau" and the "Heaven and Earth" have begun searching for the whereabouts of last month's letter.

The carriage escorting Yue Lan.

Last month, Lan huddled in a corner of the carriage, her mind blank. Underneath the mask that had been removed, the man's face was covered in scars.

Just as Shi Yan said, Shang Yuelan was always under the control of [Mirror Flower Water Moon].

He was nothing more than a pawn in Xin's hands that could be discarded at will.

The carriage trembled and shook with each bump.

Since it was a carriage used to transport prisoners, it was impossible to let Shangyue Lan enjoy herself too much.

The bumpy carriage made Shang Yuelan, who had completely lost her senses, even feel nauseous.

A hand reached out at just the right moment and handed him a black handkerchief.

"Thank you..." Shangyue Lan subconsciously thanked her, but the next second, her pupils had completely contracted.

when...?

Before anyone knew it, a girl completely shrouded in a black robe appeared before Shang Yuelan.

She showed no signs of life.

Closing your eyes, it might even make you feel that there is nothing there, or... only a dead object.

It's like standing on a piece of rotten, dead wood.

"You attacked Sister Shiyan..." Her voice was cold, and sounded somewhat immature.

Shang Yuelan could sense the murderous intent in the girl's words. He struggled, "You can't kill me..."

"I'm still useful, I'm still useful."

"It's just as useful as a dead person." The girl reached out her hand towards Shang Yuelan, her hand wreathed in eerie gray spiritual energy. "And..."

"Dead men don't lie."

Part 414 I Want to Be Master Shi Yan's Shadow [First Update, 4K Words]

Summer's passing is imperceptible in clear skies, only the depth of autumn is known after a rain.

Not long after the start of autumn, a light drizzle began to fall over Jizhou City.

The sky was always shrouded in gloomy gray clouds, and the sun was never visible, making it hard to breathe.

It was as if some terrifying conspiracy was lurking behind the city of Jizhou.

The oppressive atmosphere was so intense that one dared not even breathe deeply, and could only watch as the monstrous beast of conspiracy slowly unleashed its fangs and emitted a raven-like cawing.

originally--

That conspiracy was likely orchestrated by Shi Hongjian, the patriarch of the "Huangtian Houtu" clan... who used the "Enlightenment Conference" as an opportunity to launch a "military remonstrance," gradually weakening the Xing family's power within the "Star Heaven Bureau" and slowly increasing the "Huangtian Houtu" clan's prestige throughout the Nine Provinces and Ten Regions. Ultimately... they even intended to replace the "Star Heaven Bureau."

Yes, originally.

It's just... because of some unreliable guys.

The relationship between the "Heaven and Earth" and the "Star Gods" has not become more dangerous or precarious; on the contrary, it has even shown a trend of gradually easing and calming down.

at this point--

These days, whenever he has free time, he would run to the "Starry Sky Division" wearing his almost iconic black dress.

Then~~~

Shi Wei and Shi Hongqi... even Shi Moyi, who looks like a young girl, would blink their bright, beautiful eyes and call out to Shi Yan, "Come home for dinner~"—this has a significant connection.

As a result, many of the star officials in the "Starry Sky Bureau" got to know these young ladies from the "Heaven and Earth".

Those with inside information... have already pre-ordered the next batch of works by Master Qieyun, the "Demon Sect of the Sea of ​​Love".

He sat casually in the stands of "Heaven and Earth".

Shi Yan glanced at the gloomy, rainy weather.

The person accompanying her today... was a reserved-looking woman, cautiously glancing at Shi Yan before immediately lowering her head, placing her hands on her knees, and looking at the back of Shi Yan's legs. Shang Yue Qingqing seemed incredibly obedient.

And... almost pressing all her weight onto Shi Yan, her hands tightly wrapped around Shi Yan's arm as if she wanted to embed Shi Yan's arm into her own embrace, Wen Ruya.

As long as Wen Ruya is around, Shangyue Qingqing is the most well-behaved girl in the world.

The scene of shy girls is indeed terrifying, but—

Once you convince those girls, spend quality time with them shopping, fencing, and doing things they enjoy, exhausting their energy, the shyness issue will naturally resolve itself.

It would be very difficult for ordinary people, even ordinary cultivators, to accomplish such a thing.

After all... the ultimate skill of [Avatar] only exists in legends.

Although Shi Yan felt that the tavern owner might know this trick, she hadn't yet learned it from her.

And the "Shadow Demon Sect's" [Demon Soul Avatar].

After Wen Ruya destroyed the Shadow Demon Sect, she did indeed learn this secret technique from the ruins of the Shadow Demon Sect.

She could even appear before Shi Yan simultaneously as both her [Demon Soul Avatar] and her true form, a beautiful yet playful smile playing on her lips.

However... the [Demon Soul Avatar] also has its side effects.

The Demon Soul Avatar can withstand a limited amount of damage.

As the [Demon Soul Avatar] collapses, the damage and sensations it received during its avatarization will be doubled... erupting instantly and fed back to the original body.

Shi Yan had seen Wen Ruya's disheveled appearance when her [Demon Soul Avatar] collapsed.

Just thinking about it... makes Shi Yan shudder.

She wouldn't stoop so low as to use [Demon Soul Avatar] to appease a girl.

That's right~

This kind of thing might be useful when teasing girls, but... if you use it to accompany a girl shopping and take in all the sights of Jizhou City, Shi Yan would only think it's perfunctory.

Fortunately, she is the blade, and all difficulties will eventually be resolved.

Although... the time was a bit rushed, making even the time management master Yan look rather disheveled.

but--

Shi Yan managed to get through those most difficult days.

The girls seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding that their teacher was unaware of.

They will consciously, yet proactively, allocate their time for the teacher's lectures.

Sometimes the girls who accompanied Shi Yan to watch the "Enlightenment Conference" were Sheng Nu and Sheng Yan, sometimes Shi Hongqi and Shi Wei, and sometimes Donghuang Li and Qi Yin.

And today... it's Wen Ruya and Shangyue Qingqing.

The last time the power of [Happy Heaven - Womb Mandala] caused great harm to Shangyue Qingqing, and it took the girl a long time to recover.

But... I'm still very weak.

It seems like I can't even stand still while standing there.

Like a willow swaying in a gentle breeze, it evokes a feeling of tenderness and affection.

Originally, Qingqing had a match scheduled a few days before the start of last month's event. Forcing a girl in that condition to participate in the match was probably just sending her to her death.

but--

Shi Yan formally reported this matter to Shi Hongjian.

The girl was given a few days to catch her breath.

The gray rain streaked down.

When it landed beside Shi Yan and the girls, it was evaporated by an unseen field.

In the end, it only made the air in the area slightly more humid, making the girl's already watery eyes look even brighter.

In fact, cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm like Shi Hongjian possess the ability to alter the weather.

Like the "Taiyi Sect".

Because of the cultivation technique practiced by Lord Dongjun, it rarely rains.

Even before it rains, there will be a weather forecast inside the "Taiyi Sect" to notify each household that it is raining and they should go home and bring in their laundry.

However, Shi Hongjian did not have any particular preference for the weather.

It's fine to leave things to fate.

It was on the day that little girl named Ming Zhongqing had her competition that Shi Hongjian, at Shi Yan's 'instruction,' flicked her fingers.
