Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

As the purplish-black clock above the dark sky shattered and vanished, everything around was reconstructed.

All around were lush, dense forests, and underfoot was a soft, muddy path that seemed to have just been bathed in a light rain. In the distance, there was a narrow beam of light, which seemed to symbolize the exit.

The air was filled with a pleasant fragrance, quite different from the desolate, dead forest. Ye Yuchan could sense that the scent here was permeated with the breath of life, rather than a pure stillness.

Out.

The silver-haired maid girl let out a long breath.

In the blink of an eye, she saw the Lost Forest, which had collapsed many times over, condense into an extremely solid sphere of light, and inside the sphere was a broken purplish-black clock.

She instinctively wanted to go closer to investigate, but before Ye Yuchan could get near, the ball of light was enveloped by a sudden, eerie demonic aura and vanished instantly.

It's as if it was taken away by someone.

But the demonic aura came quickly and went even faster; even Ye Yuchan, who had reached the Void Realm, was unable to determine its source.

But this kind of thing... doesn't really matter.

Ye Yuchan withdrew her hand that had been trying to grab the ball of light, then turned around and looked at Zhang Ruoxue, who was still dumbfounded and whose face was full of confusion. Helplessly, she put one hand on her hip and hit Ruoxue's head hard with the other.

thump.

A headshot.

"Gurgle—!"

Zhang Ruoxue, who felt... well, didn't feel any pain at all, came to her senses and stared at Ye Yuchan with an even more bewildered look.

"What? You have that 'Oh no, what happened? Who am I? Where am I?' look on your face..."

"Because you just said a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't understand a single word of, and then I saw you shoot two arrows, and then... we just came out?"

Ye Yuchan rolled her eyes at Zhang Ruoxue, then stuck out her tongue with a smile: "It's normal that you don't understand; it would be strange if you did!"

But Ruoxue was still in a daze, scratching her head helplessly, and said, "So, Junior Nephew and the others are fake too."

“Yes.” Speaking of this, Ye Yuchan couldn’t help but sigh, “I never thought that in the entire Lost Forest, only you and I were real.”

"Do not--"

The voice that denied Ye Yuchan's words came from behind the two of them.

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue tensed up at the same time. Having just returned from the Lost Forest of Death, the two had not yet had time to relax their vigilance. Subconsciously, they circulated their spiritual energy and turned around with hostility.

But when they saw the newcomer's neat white short hair and unchanging, stiff face, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yo~ Hello everyone."

Gu Xingzhuo greeted him casually, his tone devoid of much emotion: "It seems that you were the ones who broke through this Lost Forest of Death."

"Fourth Senior Brother..." Mentioning the Lost Forest of Death, Zhang Ruoxue's nerves involuntarily tightened again.

Ye Yuchan silently raised her right hand and gave Ruoxue a chop to the neck: "Now that we're out, we don't need to doubt whether the person in front of us is real or not."

Zhang Ruoxue then dropped her fighting stance, scratching her head with an embarrassed smile: "Ah... oh oh."

Gu Xingzhuo merely smiled slightly, not taking it to heart: "It seems that the Lost Forest of Death must have separated us. In fact, I also encountered you who were transformed from resentment."

"But in the end, I'm ashamed to say," Gu Xingzhuo said with a blank expression, "I didn't manage to find all the incarnations of resentment. The last one was hidden too deeply."

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Yuchan immediately understood.

This Lost Forest of Death will likely scatter them all, and for everyone at Cloud Sky Academy, there will be incarnations of other people's resentment around them.

And the first to break through this labyrinthine forest should be myself and Ruoxue.

"Then... Fourth Senior Brother, have you seen anyone else?"

Ye Yuchan was naturally asking about Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen, whose cultivation levels were relatively low.

If this Lost Forest of Death will only disappear when someone solves all its mysteries, then judging from Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen's condition, they should have already had a lot of spiritual energy absorbed.

Especially Ning Xuchen, this frail scholar's cultivation level is not high. He has been in the Lost Forest of Death for so long... his spiritual energy is probably already depleted. Ye Yuchan is worried that his soul may be damaged.

Fortunately—

"I've met you."

Gu Xingzhuo nodded, turned to the side, and pointed to the small, faint light source in the distance.

That color, with its hints of azure and silver, must be moonlight.

"Teacher and Junior Nephew Lu have already left this dense forest."

"That old scoundrel is here too?!" Ye Yuchan frowned, her tone slightly displeased. "Where did that guy run off to again?!"

"This……"

Seeing Ye Yuchan's angry expression, Gu Xingzhuo couldn't help but smile wryly: "You should ask the teacher yourself."

Ye Yuchan was furious at the sudden disappearance of the old rogue.

In the Lost Forest, she mentally berated that old rogue who refused to come out no matter what.

It's almost as if they're about to shout, "Roar, my wrath! (I'm so angry!)"

That being said...

Deep down, I was always hoping that the young man in white would suddenly appear.

She's a young girl~

Even though Ye Yuchan is almost sixty years old this year, she still has a girlish side to her.

Yes, Ye Yuchan is forever seventeen.jpg.

……

With a hint of resentment and slight dissatisfaction, the silver-haired girl strode out of the dense forest, followed by Zhang Ruoxue and Gu Xingzhuo with a wry smile.

The moment she stepped out of the path, moonlight spilled onto the girl's delicate face, illuminating her clear, obsidian-like eyes.

The world suddenly opened up, its sky dotted with stars, and the moon, with a missing piece, appeared closer than it could be seen in the desolate sky. But what was most striking was the Milky Way in the sky, which seemed to cleave this world in two.

Incomparably dazzling, incomparably beautiful.

Upon seeing such a breathtaking sight, Ye Yuchan couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Hey, Little Leaf~ You've finally arrived."

Holding a fainting little girl in his arms, his right hand was stroking her delicate body, a sinister smile on his face, and his frivolous tone made him seem like an absolute scoundrel!

The one lying unconscious in Yunping's arms was naturally Lu Yingqiu, who looked like an underage girl.

The moment Ye Yuchan saw the old rogue's smiling face, although he was a bit sleazy, a bit annoying, and a bit cheeky, she still felt a sense of warmth and familiarity.

But when they saw this old scoundrel groping a little girl...

hum~

The Spirit Arrow was nocked instantly.

Ye Yuchan stared at Yun Ping, her face flushed, and stammered, "You...you...you really couldn't resist attacking your own people?!"

"Are you out of your mind again...?" Yunping's lips twitched. "I'm treating my adorable grand-disciple."

"..."

Indeed, wisps of pale green spiritual energy appeared in Yunping's palm, slowly seeping into Lu Yingqiu's body.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that Lu Yingqiu's consciousness seemed very weak, and her spiritual energy had been completely drained. Fortunately, her soul seemed to be quite resilient and was not greatly affected.

*Pfft*

Wisps of steam rose from Ye Yuchan's head, officially marking her transformation into a Steam Girl.

"Okay... alright." Ye Yuchan awkwardly put away the Black Rain and scratched her face: "I thought... you had awakened some special fetish again."

"Don't worry, your teacher could never be a lolicon~" Yun Ping glanced at Ye Yuchan's chest and grinned: "Although I am indeed very interested in flat-chested women."

Ye Yuchan quickly covered her non-existent chest, glaring at Yun Ping with embarrassment and anger: "So that's why you did those things to my body?!"

"Hey... I already said it was an accident, we just ran out of sand~"

He still had that innocent look, but his expression made you want to punch him no matter how you looked at him.

Ye Yuchan clenched her fists, but ultimately let them fall limply. With an unfriendly expression, she asked coldly, "Let's put this aside for now. Hey, you old rogue, where did you go just now?"

"Oh, that one."

Yunping narrowed his eyes, and his nonchalant attitude became slightly less serious: "I've run into a very troublesome person and am temporarily trapped."

"Trapped?!"

Is there really anyone in this world who can trap an old rogue?

Ye Yuchan subconsciously thought it was unlikely, but when she thought about how she had been left alone in Cangyue City for twenty-two years, she unconsciously frowned.

Could it be... that woman again?

Before Ye Yuchan could even ask a question, Yun Ping took a half step back to the side and said, "Don't be so surprised. She only trapped me for a short while. By the time I came out, my excellent disciple had already resolved all the troubles."

"excellent……"

The blush that had just faded returned... This was a rare compliment.

just.

"But instead of this, come and take a look."

"what?"

"That's something even more surprising."

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue exchanged a glance, then walked up with some doubt in their eyes.

In reality, the terrain where they were located was quite high. To be precise, they were standing on the edge of a cliff, on a protruding corner.

Therefore, when Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue stood at the edge, they were able to see the scenery in a considerable area.

But that's precisely why they were stunned on the spot.

because--

As far as the eye could see, it was as if the earth had suffered an irreparable blow.
