After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

“No need…” The woman’s voice was hoarse, almost a murmur.

She tried to show off, but Shi Yan grabbed her hand.

A touch of frosty spiritual energy seeped in, nourishing Du Gui's internal organs.

Du Gui's mouth, which had just opened, clenched tightly the next second, and her eyes were so unfocused that they seemed to be losing their focus.

Shi Yan's move was absolutely fatal for Du Gui.

It's like... a girl who has been painstakingly trying to quit something, enduring it for a month, and just as she's about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, her whole body slowly relaxes... Shi Yan suddenly appears at this moment, launching a surprise attack.

Barry is only half of 90.

Fall short.

With his shoulders trembling, Du Gui almost collapsed into Shi Yan's arms.

Fortunately... Du Gui is, after all, a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

He was a ruthless person who forcefully suppressed his inner demons.

She bit her lip hard, her chest heaving violently as if she were trying to gasp for air but couldn't, gasping for breath.

After a while, his unfocused, light blue eyes slowly returned to focus.

Du Gui almost frantically pulled his hand away from Shi Yan's.

"I……"

"We can go find the books now."

Seeing the staggering figure that looked like a complete rout, Shi Yan knew that his subconscious actions had probably made another big mistake.

She slowly caught up with Du Gui.

In the room, the girl huddled in the corner of the bed slowly opened her eyes.

She held the warm, smooth jade cicada between her fingers.

Senior Sister... Keep it up!

Part 438. Adding rock sugar to tea quenches thirst, nourishes yin, and replenishes qi. [First update, 4K words]

They fled in a near-disarray.

Du Gui looked somewhat unsteady.

Last night, my junior sister's hairpin fell loose from her hair, and here I am... Ci Xinmo is being more unruly than ever before.

They'd rather risk being suppressed than not have a good time with themselves.

Du Gui didn't even know how he fell asleep last night.

When she awoke from her near-meditative state, the bed she was lying on was soaked with sweat pouring down her back.

To cover it up... Du Gui even removed the bed frame and put it into his storage ring.

I just hope that the maids in the "Heaven and Earth" household don't think I have some kind of weird quirk.

They're even interested in other people's bed boards.

Even now...

Du Gui's throat was excessively hoarse due to dryness and dehydration.

"I should listen to Master Yan's words first..."

"Have some porridge before you set off."

For some reason... similar thoughts have started to arise in my mind.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to shake that thought out of his mind.

But... because I'm not in good condition.

Shaking my head gives me that uncomfortable feeling of dizziness, like when I'm riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

Just then... a faint, sweet fragrance wafted from behind. Just smelling the fragrance slowly creeping around from behind made Du Gui feel like he could hardly move an inch.

"Disciples of the Hidden Cloud Clan have always disliked the mundane affairs of the mortal world..." Du Gui explained to Shi Yan, barely suppressing the urge to grab the girl's hand behind him.

"originally--"

"The most suitable place for Yun Shushu to rest in this city of Jizhou is the bamboo forest of 'Heaven and Earth'."

"But that's where the Red Paper People rest."

"It is also the source of the cold stream."

"The Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Mother would certainly not place people there."

"Hanxi?" Shi Yan suddenly thought of that time... A bright moon hung in the sky, and he wandered into the bamboo forest. In the gently flowing Hanxi River, Shi Hongjian, dressed in plain clothes, stood facing him sideways in the Hanxi River.

"Is Sister Dugui interested in Hanxi?"

"No..." Du Gui quickly shook his head.

Actually, she really needs to soak in the cold stream right now to calm her almost chaotic mind.

But it won't work—

If I go, my sister Shiyan will definitely come with me.

Then the effect of the Cold Stream is almost zero.

“Let’s go there—” Du Gui pointed in the direction of “Starry Sky Division”.

"There's a small residence in the Moon Goddess Osmanthus Grove. The 'Cloud Hidden Family' and the 'Star Celestial Bureau' have always been on good terms, so Yun Shushu should be staying there."

The teacher nodded gently.

She then remembered that, besides asking Du Gui about the location of the "Hidden Cloud Clan" and paying them a visit, she had no other option.

We can also rely on the power of the "Starry Sky Bureau".

After all... he could be considered a part of the "Starry Sky Division," and a rather important one at that.

As he was about to step into the territory of the "Starry Sky Division", Du Gui's brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

She came after Qiu Tu called for help.

They didn't see the grand scene that had unfolded before... a group of girls, including the third young lady of Xing Tian Si, had come to welcome Shi Yan.

In Du Gui's preconceived notions, the relationship between "Huang Tian Hou Tu" and "Xing Tian Si" can be described as either irreconcilable or merely neutral.

Looking at Shi Yan's black short skirt, she felt a little worried.

However, it turns out there was absolutely no need to worry about returning home.

The star officials from the "Starry Sky Division" looked at Shi Yan with an expression of... reverence. If it weren't for their duties, they might have rushed up to shake hands and hug him.

Even... under Shi Yan's rapidly twitching gaze...

One of the "Star Officials" took out a booklet with a distinct "Love Sea Demon Sect" winged heart-shaped pattern from her storage ring. The cover of the booklet featured her profile picture.

Miss Xingguan came over with the booklet, wanting Shiyan to sign it.

Judging from the hardcover binding of the booklet, it should be some kind of special "collector's edition".

Teacher Yan signed his name, his smile almost completely gone.

In his heart... he had already imagined Wen Qieyun a thousand times over.

Although... the real culprit might not actually be Wen Qieyun, but rather a guy who is currently in Jizhou City.

"What is that..." Du Gui watched as the Star Official Miss tiptoed to hug Shi Yan, then happily left with the booklet.

"Does Master Shiyan also write poetry?"

Unlike Qiu Tu, who is almost an expert in all things related to entertainment, Du Gui is not very knowledgeable about these things... such as poems from among flowers and collections of seven-character quatrains.

"No!!" Shi Yan's reaction was unusually obvious, like a cat whose tail had been grabbed.

She didn't jump up on the spot in surprise. But... the obvious stiffness and hesitation were still quite noticeable.

Especially in the face of Du Gui, who is a body cultivator.

It was so obvious... just like how Du Gui behaved in front of Shi Yan not long ago.

Master Yan could actually see at a glance the difficulties and struggles of the journey back home.

Fish in the desert that lack water.

"They're just things for fun..."

"Sister Dugui, it's best if you don't learn about these things." Shi Yan didn't want the girls she knew to start reading strange things one after another.

Although Du Gui nodded in agreement, his curiosity slowly began to stir within him.

What exactly is that booklet?

The booklet has a hidden pattern of "Love Sea Demon Sect".

If it's just something for amusement, why bother decorating it so elaborately?

Is it a secret technique of the "Love Sea Demon Sect"?

If it's a secret technique of the "Love Sea Demon Sect," how could it end up in the hands of a star official of the "Star Heaven Bureau," who was even chasing after Master Yan for his autograph?

I want to go back and see.

She just didn't say it.

soon--

Shi Yan and Du Gui then arrived at their small abode deep within the Moon Goddess Osmanthus Forest.

It was an old-fashioned wooden building, and the person who ran it was also a star official of the Starry Sky Bureau.

A girl first bowed to Shi Yan, and then bowed to Du Gui.

Du Guixin has gradually realized that Shi Yan holds a special position within the "Starry Sky Bureau".

They are not unaware of who they are.

It's not that they don't know their own cultivation level.
