From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Upon returning to Cairo, Jiang Liu's first act was to thank Isaac Taber for temporarily assuming the position of president of the Shenzhou Society. Only then did he accompany Jin Ge to seek medical treatment for his daughter.

Jin Ge's daughter was naturally not in Egypt, but in his hometown of France.

Therefore, Jiang Liu used his ability to ride the clouds and mist, and ordered Jin Ge to guide the way. In no time, they arrived in Paris, France, from Cairo, Egypt.

With just one glance, Jiang Liu spotted two of Paris's most iconic landmarks.

The Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame Cathedral.

However, compared to the Eiffel Tower's monotonous openwork structure, Notre Dame Cathedral was more likely to attract Jiang Liu's attention.

Looking from the front, one can see three pointed archways side by side, with a layer of sawtooth-shaped carved eaves on top, and a row of shrines with statues of twenty-eight kings. In the center of the eaves is a huge round window with latticework, flanked by two side windows on the left and right.

Looking further up, one sees a long, trefoil-shaped arcade, with slender columns supporting a heavy platform, and two imposing, dark clock towers with blue stone tile eaves, making one want to stop and look.

"The French are truly romantic, at least in their architecture, and their reputation is well-deserved."

It was dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and the evening glow was a vibrant red, as if welcoming the arrival of the river.

Looking at the crowd outside Notre Dame Cathedral, Jiang Liu wondered, "I know Christianity is popular abroad, but it's so late at night, why are so many people gathered here?"

"In reality, people only go to Notre Dame for Mass on Sundays. It's only Wednesday now, so it's impossible for Notre Dame to be overcrowded."

Jin Ge found it strange, but his biggest concern was still his daughter. Besides, most cultivators didn't believe in gods or gods, so he didn't want to interfere. "Why don't we go see my daughter first? I can take you around Paris properly tomorrow!"

"Alright."

Seeing Jin Ge's eagerness to save his daughter, Jiang Liu temporarily put aside his curiosity about the bustling scene outside Notre Dame Cathedral and followed him away from the crowd to the nearby residential area.

However, this behavior of distancing oneself from the crowd was noticed by a boy and a girl—

“Eijun, tonight a precious artifact from China is being delivered to Notre Dame and will be exhibited there. Everyone wants to see it in the cathedral, but they all left? That’s strange.” The girl seemed puzzled.

The boy called "Ejun" casually remarked, "Aren't you being too cautious, Manali? Perhaps they just went to the restroom?"

"Don't joke around, Ejun. We are the guardians of Paris! This precious exhibit from the East is priceless. It is said to contain ancient Eastern wisdom. There must be many thieves eyeing it. We must be vigilant at all times to prevent it from falling into the hands of bad people!"

Manali, however, is a very responsible young woman. "We gain power to fight criminals, don't we?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

Ai Jun looked helpless, but a fleeting look of doting affection flashed in his eyes.

The two ran into the alley, and when they came out again, they had changed into tight-fitting clothes similar to those of superheroes.

The boy was dressed in black with vertical pupils and hands that resembled cat claws; the girl was dressed in red with black spots and carried a flat, round shield on her back, looking like a ladybug that had come to life.

The two nodded, and with a slight leap, they soared into the air, leaping onto a house several meters high, and chased after Jiang Liu and Jin Ge.

Jiang Liu's ears twitched, realizing someone was following them. He then casually asked Jin Ge, "What do you do for a living back home? You're not a mercenary, are you?"

"Mercenaries? No."

Jin Ge shook his head and then talked about his daughter, "I originally planned to open a Good Luck Dessert Shop and live a good life with my wife and daughter, but my daughter was diagnosed with an incurable disease."

"Hmm... Have you offended anyone here?" Considering Jin Ge's mental state, Jiang Liu decided to be more explicit.

"what do you mean?"

Jin Ge finally realized what was happening, and his expression turned slightly serious.

"Someone's watching us, two...minors?"

At this moment, everyone on the street gathered towards Notre Dame Cathedral. Jiang Liu disregarded everything else and pointed directly to the roof of a building on his left, saying loudly, "It's right there."

"They've spotted us?"

Ai Jun was startled.

"He's definitely not an ordinary person!"

Manali said with certainty, "They must be from the Black Demon Butterfly."

Without hiding, the two jumped off the roof. The boy clapped his hands together, gathering his Qi and condensing it into a black rod; the girl clenched her fist with one hand, and a red whip was flung out, cracking the air.

"Oh my god! Why are Westerners dressed so strangely? A black cat with a stick, a whip... Are you Ladybug? Even if you're going to find an insect, can't you find something nicer? Like a spider." Jiang Liu found it a bit cringeworthy—sure enough, you only realize how big the cultural differences are when you go abroad.

Spider-Man is one thing, at least Peter Parker is a real man, but what the heck is Ladybug?

Whose taste is so peculiar?

When the topic of "aesthetics" came up, Jiang Liu suddenly realized that this was Paris, and even in 1927, Paris was still the world's leading fashion center.

That's all!

“Hey, you can insult Black Cat Lor, but you can’t mock me, the Miracle Warrior,” Manali said angrily.

Ai Jun, standing to the side: "???"

“No problem, Ladybug Girl, and Hero Black Cat.” Jiang Liu agreed seriously, and even deliberately referred to Black Cat Lor as a hero.

Manali's teeth chattered.

But Ai Jun put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and laughed, "Hero Black Cat? You have quite the insight!"

[They really are just kids!]

Jiang Liu chuckled inwardly as he learned about the personalities of these two people with just a few words.

"Are you two a couple?" Jiang Liu asked another relationship question.

"No!" X2

"Don't mimic me!" x2

Aijun and Manali were startled, their faces turning red, but because they were both wearing masks, they couldn't tell each other's faces and kept denying it.

But they had perfect chemistry.

"Damn it! It's all your fault!" x2

The two turned their attention to Jiang Liu without further ado. One in front, one behind, one on the left, one on the right, the girl lashed out with her whip, and the boy swung out with his staff.

Jin Ge was about to make a move, but Jiang Liu stopped him. He took a few steps forward, grabbed the stick in the black cat's hand with one hand, and held the ladybug's palm whip with the other.

One pull.

Boom!

The two of them collided.

In their dizziness and disorientation, both felt their strength rapidly fading and their attire crumbling—a form constructed from Qi, not actual clothing.

Ultimately, the black energy condensed into a ring worn by the boy, while the red energy converged into an earring worn by the girl.

To be more precise, it's a tiny crystal, no bigger than a grain of rice, set in a ring or earring.

Jiang Liu tossed the two aside, and with a wave of his hand, the rice-grain crystals on the ring and earrings floated in his palm, emitting red and black Qi flames, which eventually coalesced into two palm-sized Qi mist-like spirits! A black cat and a ladybug!

"Interesting, a spirit created later in life?"

All insects of the five categories—robin, scaled, hairy, feathered, and larval—that possess the nine orifices can attain the Dao.

Jiang Liu could see clearly that these two spirits were not created by innate cultivation, but were created by humans after birth, and were enlightened and educated, and the supernatural abilities that a person had in life were integrated into them, coexisting in this rice-grain-sized crystal.

Even ordinary people can borrow the power of the crystal as long as they obtain it and gain the approval of these two spirits with independent consciousness.

Based on his senses, Jiang Liu realized that if the power contained in these two elves could be fully unleashed, it would definitely be no weaker than that of the elderly Zhang Zhiwei.

However, the boy and girl in front of them were too inexperienced, and they could not even control one-tenth of the energy.

"Give us back the black cat and the ladybug sprite!"

Aijun and Manali rushed towards Jiang Liu, but missed. Jiang Liu grabbed them by the back of their collars and threw them into the corner.

Cultivators who cooperate with elves will have their strength greatly reduced once the elves are gone. However, Ejun and Manali cannot be considered to have "cooperated" with elves in their cultivation. They can only be said to have unilaterally relied on the power provided by the elves, and cannot be considered qualified cultivators in themselves.

If the Ren and Du meridians are not open, one cannot be a Qi cultivator.

Without constructing a single magic circuit, one cannot be considered an alchemist.

Strictly speaking, these two are at most ordinary people who have gained some Qi by relying on the power of these two elves for a long time, and can feel the energy in their bodies, but cannot use it on their own.

"Give it back to you?"

Jiang Liu glanced at the black hat and ladybug trembling in his palm and said with a smile, "You two, the superhero role-playing game is over."

"Damn it! That's our partner!" Ai Jun scrambled to his feet and was about to rush forward when he found himself immobilized by an invisible force.

"A partner?"

Jiang Liu seemed thoughtful. "I do admire your expression, but I'm sorry, you followed us for no reason, and resorted to violence just because you couldn't win an argument..."

This doesn't seem like the behavior of a hero.

Therefore, I will confiscate these two items for now.

"No! Give it back to us!" Manali was also excited and rushed forward, but she followed in Aijun's footsteps and could no longer move.

"Should we return it to you? Sure, but at least apologize, right?"

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, giving the two of them a way out.

But perhaps due to their youthful spirit, even though they came from romantic Paris, the two remained strong-willed and unwilling to apologize to Jiang Liu and Jin Ge.

"If you don't apologize, then they're mine. I'll give you a day to think it over. I'm leaving Paris tomorrow, and I have no time to enjoy the 'romance' of Paris."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu reached out and touched the black cat's ears and stroked the ladybug's shell, which made the two elves less uneasy. They even climbed onto his shoulders one on each side and rubbed against his cheeks.

"This is impossible!"

Manali and Aijun were both taken aback when they saw the black cat and ladybug getting close to Jiang Liu.

The black cat spoke in human language: "Eijun, you don't need to contact me anymore. I'm afraid this gentleman will misunderstand."
