After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

A dazzling white lightning bolt struck directly down from in front of Yunmengming, stretching out towards the tavern owner.

The tavern owner quickly stepped aside.

Beside her, a long chasm was cleaved into the glass-like ground.

"Being too rigid won't win a girl's heart."

"You think I'm like you!" Yun Mengming made a move to summon lightning to strike him again.

Mo Shu originally wanted to say... your attitude towards your sister Yun Mengji, it's not to say that your intentions are obvious to everyone... at the very least, it's a case of the onlooker seeing more of the game than the player.

However... the girl looks like she's about to jump up and down.

The tavern owner still didn't choose to continue courting disaster.

The atmosphere between the two fell into an almost eerie silence.

After a long silence, the tavern owner sighed softly, clasped her hands in front of her, and bowed to the girl in thanks, "Thank you... this time..."

"Thank...thank you for what?" Yun Mengming stared at the woman bowing down, her eyes wide, her pupils seemingly dilating. "I don't know what you're talking about..."

"If it weren't for that ring..."

"I'm afraid Wen Wan and Xiao Shiyan's father died long ago in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Love Sea Demon Sect."

"Little Master will be sad."

"What...what does this have to do with me?" Yun Mengming regained her cold demeanor. "That ring was stolen from me by my sister."

"You'll have to pay this debt sooner or later."

"Then... is it okay to pay in kind?"

As the tavern owner finished speaking, the girl stood frozen in the cold wind, a hint of confusion on her face, which then instantly turned into near-embarrassment and anger.

"Mo Shu, get out of here!"

"It's not that it's impossible." Hearing the girl's words, the tavern owner pretended to lie down.

boom!!

Lightning struck down from the sky again.

The tavern owner quickly dodged to the side to avoid the lightning strike.

But this time... he couldn't escape it after all.

She lay on the ground like a salted fish, the ties around her neck trembling as she breathed, seemingly about to break.

He opened his mouth, and black smoke rose straight up.

rustling --

The sound of a girl's bare feet stepping on the glass floor was soft and gentle.

She looked up at Yunmengming.

Only from this angle does the girl seem more in line with her identity.

A daughter of heaven, ordained by divine decree.

"You shouldn't have let her come into contact with the Heavenly Demon."

"You knew perfectly well..."

"That's something that the laws of nature would never allow."

Frowning, Yun Mengming looked down at the woman lying on the ground, barely clothed.

The woman covered her eyes with her right arm, leaning back and breathing softly, without answering.

She unbuttoned her robe and threw it directly onto the woman.

A white robe covered the tavern owner's face, rising and falling slightly with her breathing.

Yunmengming turned and disappeared into the earth.

After a long time, it was as if they were waiting for Yunmeng's life to completely disappear.

Or perhaps it's just for rest.

The tavern owner then pulled down the girl's robe to reveal her face, and slowly sat up.

She looked in the direction where Yunmengming had disappeared.

His solemn expression suddenly turned into...joyful expression when he saw the deep pit that Shi Yan had created beside him.

"This can't be discounted..."

"Oh no, we can't let this fall into the wrong hands."

"Who knows what those lecherous guys will do to Xiao Shiyan's body..."

"What if they put some kind of fragrant jade in here to cultivate, and then make a model of Xiao Shiyan or something? That would be great... or terrible."

Pulling open her coat, the tavern owner pulled out a manuscript from her storage space.

Then, after thinking about it, she put the manuscript back.

The next day—

A news item from a Yangzhou tabloid spread throughout the land.

It is said that... the sect leader of the "Shangyue Sect" colluded with the Desolate Demon, attempting to forcibly break through to the next realm using the Desolate Demon's power, but was punished by the heavens.

The "Shangyue Sect" was destroyed.

It is said that... when the lightning struck, the earth within a radius of several miles was scorched into lightning crystals.

Almost everything within the direct sphere of influence of the "Upper Moon Sect" was destroyed by the aftershocks of the thunder.

Although... because the evacuation was timely.

Apart from a few slow-moving, seriously injured individuals and a few elders whose souls were severely damaged, almost no one died directly from the lightning strike.

But... they were under the watchful eyes of a pack of wolves.

"Kamizuki-michi" is now defunct in name only.

What's even more deadly is... it's one thing for lightning to scorch the earth into lightning crystals.

Perhaps we can salvage some of the losses by utilizing the lightning crystals generated by this unprecedented calamity.

But... after the people from the "Uezuki Sect" returned to the scene.

All I could see was the hollowed-out ground.

Those who hollowed out the lightning crystals even went so far as to steal... the spiritual veins of the "Shangyue Sect".

But the worst part is... because the sect leader of the "Uezuki Sect" and Uezuki Lan, who participated in the "Enlightenment Conference," colluded with the Desolate Demon.

People have begun to doubt the "Upper Moon Sect".

Jizhou...

In an interview, Shangyue Qingqing, the senior disciple and future successor of the Shangyue Sect, stated that everything... is true.

Within the "Upper Moon Sect," there has always been an evil organization called "Dark Moon."

Even Wen Ruya, the former senior sister of the "Upper Moon Sect" and now the saintess of the "Love Sea Demon Sect," was once a victim of persecution.

The "Shangyue Sect" is now beyond redemption.

However, those things are no longer related to Shi Yan for the time being.

Carrying Xiaxia in her arms, she followed the tavern owner back to the tavern.

After returning to the tavern, Xiaxia fell into a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up for a long time.

The tavern owner watched Shi Yan, who was always by her side.

"If Xiaxia were still awake..."

"I probably wouldn't want to see you unable to even take care of yourself."

"Uh..." Without answering, Shi Yan simply looked up at the tavern owner with reddened eyes.

"You can restore Xiaxia to normal..."

"Is that so?"

Shi Yanlian had said that the next time he saw this woman, he would make sure to ask her about everything and then forget everything.

“Of course—” The woman’s smile was languid and confident, as if nothing in this world could stump her.

"but……"

"I promise you you can make a move against me."

The conditions Shi Yan offered almost made Mo Shu unable to sit still.

However, she suppressed her racing heart and slowly sat down, thinking, "That wouldn't be fun."

"Take care of yourself first..." The tavern owner's hand trembled as she held the glass, a hint of pain in her voice. "I'll tell you—"

"How do we wake Xiaxia up?"

"Your cultivation level is almost back to the Jade Palace Realm."

"We should stabilize our cultivation level first."

"Uh..." Shi Yan was about to agree when he suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something, and stared intently at the tavern owner.

"Jade...Palace...Realm..."

Regardless of who it is, they should see that their cultivation level is either Nascent Soul Realm or Divine Transformation Realm.

"But she..."

The tavern proprietress, who was sitting in a chair, slowly changed the position of crossing her legs, her smile beautiful and gentle.

"Surprised?"

"Unexpected, yet it doesn't seem so unexpected."
