After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, in Master Shiyan's arms... she slowly tiptoed up and offered herself up.

"Ah Li---" Shi Yan looked at the girl who was walking towards him nervously.

Then he suddenly froze.

A refreshing scent filled my nostrils.

Just like... an unripe citrus fruit being slowly peeled open.

Part 416 You'll Regret It, Teacher's Words [First Update, 4K Words]

Like a green, unripe tangerine that has been broken open.

The scent emanating from the girl towards Shi Yan carried a citrus fragrance, sweet and sour... with a hint of bitterness and astringency from the leaves and orange peel.

It has a very unique flavor.

It's so special that when people see a girl and smell the orange scent on her, they remember her deeply.

but--

That wasn't the reason Shi Yan stood there dumbfounded.

What made Shi Yan freeze in place was... she had smelled that sweet and sour, slightly astringent citrus aroma before.

Inside the carriage that carried the body of Kamitsu Arashi to her death.

At that time, Shi Yan thought that the star officials from the "Starry Sky Bureau" had cleaned up the scene.

Looking at it now... it doesn't seem to be the case.

It was Ah Li who had appeared there.

even--

It is highly likely that Ah Li killed Shang Yue Lan.

Shi Yan watched as the girl, who seemed nervous and uneasy, slowly moved towards him.

Honestly—

The teacher claimed that he was not a good person.

Even... I might very well be the worst person in the world.

A villain who could destroy the world at any moment.

However... Shi Yan still has some strange principles of his own.

for example--

She doesn't like killing.

It's especially bad if a girl close to you kills someone for your sake.

Although... sometimes Shi Yan's revenge might make the other party feel that they would rather die.

But... why should Shi Yan care what he thinks or does?

Looking at the girl in front of him.

Shi Yan was even able to guess why Donghuang Li attacked Yue Lan.

Because he attacked himself.

At least, during the time he was controlled by "Mirror Flower Water Moon", he genuinely wanted to die.

Donghuang Li couldn't stand this.

However... after being separated for so long, Shi Yan didn't bring up the matter directly.

She simply opened her arms, letting the girl fall into her embrace like a soft, bouncy ball.

Unlike her older sister Donghuang Li, Donghuang Li is not the type to dominate the scene with her figure.

But... Donghuang Li has a completely different kind of allure to the senses.

Girls' bodies are very soft.

It's so small that it seems as if the little monster hidden inside would sway with the movement of a runner.

Even if you stand still.

It can also make people feel as if it is trembling slightly.

The image of the girl running over, resting her hands on her knees, and looking up at him is a scene that Shi Yan will never forget.

If placed in a game, it would definitely be Donghuang Li's signature CG.

Naturally... the feeling of being embraced is wonderful.

Shi Yan even had reason to suspect that the girl was only wearing this cloak.

That would be too unfair, so it's absolutely impossible.

Shi Yan pressed the girl's head into his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips, his right hand resting on the back of her head.

Donghuang Li's small hand, which was gently resting on Shi Yan's shoulder, was slightly curled up, as if she didn't even have the courage to hug Shi Yan.

It just hung there, drooping.

"Sister Shi... Sister Shiyan..."

The girl, who had been so spirited on the training ground, immediately became as docile as a fawn in Shi Yan's arms.

Shi Yan gently stroked the girl's rain-soaked hair, helping her dry it bit by bit.

She knew... that many, many things must have happened to Donghuang Li.

That's why she turned from such a lively girl into the way she is now, even... giving off a lifeless vibe.

but--

Shi Yan did not have the habit of prying into girls' secrets.

If a girl feels she should tell me, she will naturally tell me.

certainly--

If a girl acts as if to say, "Sister Shiyan, aren't you curious about what happened to me?" Shiyan will still go along with the girl's wishes and pretend to be curious to ask.

However, it was clear that Donghuang Li was quite secretive about what had happened to her.

The teacher said he knew.

If you ask her yourself, she will definitely tell you the answer.

However, Shi Yan didn't like making things difficult for girls.

certainly--

An exception is during friendly competition.

When the two are sparring, Shi Yan likes the girl's expression the more difficult it is. Ideally, it should be so difficult that her eyes are watery as if they are about to overflow, and her ears are so red that they seem to be dripping blood.

Shi Yan really liked it.

We'll find out what happened to the girl later.

It's okay if you don't know.

The "authority" he had buried within the girl's body was not detonated.

Donghuang Li should not have encountered any villains who forced her to do anything or tried to kill her.

Her little face was pressed into Shi Yan's arms, and the girl's voice was sobbing and muffled.

Shi Yan simply rested his chin gently on the girl's head.

He held the girl's head with one hand and gently stroked her overly slender back with the other.

Shi Yan could feel the girl's trembling breaths and her heart pounding wildly.

"It's okay..."

"It's alright..."

"As long as Ah Li is safe and sound—"

"Whatever else it is..."

"It's all okay..."

It doesn't matter whether it's death energy or anything else.

Humans shouldn't touch it?

Humans should not come into contact with or raise celestial demons.

Look how lovely the Garbhadhatu Mandala and the Pure Color Mandala are.

Anything that can be held in your hand is good power.

If there's any real problem, even if it's hell ahead, I'll still bring Ah Li back.

Of course... more importantly...

The spiritual energy of "Snow Cold Technique" slowly circulated within the girl's internal organs.

Shi Yan did not notice anything unusual.

Even... Ah Li's physical constitution was restored.

"The Land of Death"?

That peculiar... Yin Meridian Kun Earth Attribute Bone, completed the last piece of the puzzle for the girl.

On the other side of "Starry Sky Plaza".

Yun Shushu of the "Hidden Cloud Family" slowly stepped down from the stage.

He is the third Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands to be eliminated in these few days.

As for the first two...

One is already lying in a coffin.
