I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　"Black Abyss White Flower Fantasy Collapses!"

　Black and white streaks of light shot out from the bowstring in an instant, and within a fraction of a second of leaving the bowstring, they immediately entered a state of illusion collapse.

　"boom--"

　With a loud bang, sword energy and corrosive black mist spread outwards simultaneously. However, due to the contest between Jingliu and Yanqing, the corpses of the abundant creatures scattered on the ground actually helped Lingmo a lot. With the help of these humanoid cockroaches, the withering black mist generated by the self-destruction of the Black Abyss White Flower was quickly consumed in the process of canceling out the power of abundance. Unlike the last time Lingmo used it, it did not turn the surrounding area into a dead land.

　"Your strength is indeed not as weak and feeble as you have shown."

　Jingliu floated down from the sky. After venting her anger, her demonic symptoms seemed to have eased, and she returned to her previous gentle and quiet older sister appearance.

　"Hey, you came straight at me with a sword without even saying hello, aren't you afraid of killing someone?!"

　"You won't die because you haven't used your full strength yet."

　Despite Suzuma's accusations, Kagami seemed indifferent.

　"Although I cannot fathom the power within your body, as a martial artist, I can sense the abnormality in your physical form—your body is fundamentally different from those of the barbarians."

　"And...why didn't you draw your sword just now?"

　"Draw your sword?"

　Lingmo was a little confused: "Where did I get a sword?"

　“There’s no need to hold back anymore. I’ve already sensed the sharp sword intent emanating from you. You’ve hidden your sword under your skirt on your left side, haven’t you?… That sword intent may not be particularly sharp, but it’s incredibly resilient—that’s why I decided to test your sword on a whim.”

　"Skirt, under the skirt? Wait, is that what you mean?"

　Lingmo's lips twitched, and with a flick of her wrist, she pulled a fiery red feather from under her skirt.

　"I see... You misunderstood. This is something a friend left on me. This sword intent is not mine."

　"Is that so... I'm sorry then."

　Seeing that Rinma had directly taken out what she had sensed, Jingliu's voice carried a hint of embarrassment: "It seems that I have been trapped in the demonic realm for too long, and even my senses have become dulled..."

　"It's okay, we became friends after a fight."

　Lingmo chuckled: "Besides, I also have a deal I'd like to discuss with you."

　"trade?"

　"Although I don't know the method to cure the demonic possession, by doing some work on your memories, I can alleviate your demonic possession symptoms to some extent—the kind that only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

　"You've traveled a long way to the Immortal Ship, yet you chose to blindfold yourself with a black veil because you didn't want to catalyze your demonic energy. That's not good. With my help, at least you can still see the Immortal Ship in the final moments of your life. What do you say?"

　"...Did Jingyuan send you?"

　Jingliu was silent for a moment, then asked.

　"It was him, but this deal was probably not what he expected."

　“…Go on.”

　"As a price, I need you..."

　Lingmo paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Let me touch it."

　"?"

　Although Jingliu was wearing a black veil and didn't speak, Lingmo could sense a strong sense of doubt emanating from her.

　"Ahem, don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person with any special hobbies."

　Lingmo cleared her throat and quickly explained, "One of my abilities is that, through contact, I can mimic the abilities of people I have come into contact with to a certain extent."

　"Now that Luofu is in chaos, the secret disciples of the Medicine King who previously controlled the Medicine-carrying Dragon Girl Bailu have all been killed. So, which force would be most interested in this young Dragon Lord and the dragon transformation technique she possesses? I don't need to say more, do I?"

　"Since you're already a serious criminal on the Immortal Ship, you probably don't mind taking on a few more charges like killing a Dragon Master. So, how about I lend you my identity to protect Bai Lu?"

　"Ha ha……"

　Jingliu was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

　"Suppress the demonic energy for me, protect the Dragon Girl... You've finished explaining the benefits of the deal, so what's the price?"

　"In my opinion, borrowing the identity of a dead person is not a big deal... Moreover, given the strength of your arrow just now, it's unlikely that you're coveting my power."

　"Tell me, what else do you want?"

　Good heavens... my legs were trembling after I shot that arrow, how could you imagine me as strong as you...?

　Lingmo couldn't help but complain in her heart. However, it seemed that Jingliu did not intend to accept her favor for nothing. But if she had to make another request... she really couldn't think of one for the time being.

　You can't really say something like, "Big sister, I'm lusting after you, will you repay me with your body?"

　"I haven't decided on the terms yet, how about we postpone it?"

　"As you wish. I will stay on Luofu for a while longer. You can come to me anytime. As long as I can still move freely, you can use this crippled body as you please. As for my whereabouts... you can ask Jingyuan when the time comes."

　Jingliu didn't insist, but simply nodded and said, "However, don't keep me waiting too long. You should be able to tell what's wrong with my body."

　"no problem!"

　The fiery red feather in Suzumo's hand began to emit a faint glow.

　"Then, Yu Duchen... I'm counting on you."

　Chapter 168 Mirror Flow: Another existence like Bai Heng... beautiful, yet fragile.

　Speaking of the origin of Lingmo's Feather Crossing Dust, it is indeed quite outrageous.

　After all, in theory, although Lingmo had many opportunities to come into contact with Fu Hua when she was a teacher at St. Freya, it was not easy for her to come into contact with Yu Duchen.

　As for Lingmo's Feather Dust... it was actually Fu Hua who placed it on Lingmo herself.

　Yes, that's right. Our thoughtful Fu Mama would put a life-saving feather on each of her friends, and Lingmo was no exception. Unfortunately, as soon as the feather was placed on Lingmo, it was washed away by Xiaoqi's automatic defense mechanism. However, in order not to expose herself, Xiaoqi quickly restored the feather.

　However, before this exchange, Lingmo had fulfilled the condition of having come into contact with the Feather Dust, so one morning Lingmo drew out the Feather Dust.

　"Alright, treatment complete... Feeling better?"

　"..."

　Jingliu didn't speak, but just looked around blankly.

　"It seems like nothing has changed... but it also seems... I have an indescribable feeling. Luofu seems to have become unfamiliar to me?"

　"Because I blocked your 'déjà vu' feeling towards Luofu."

　Lingmo smiled slightly: "I really can't cure the Demonic Yin Body, and it can't be eliminated by simply erasing memories. However, I can help you block out the factors that trigger the Demonic Yin Body."

　"Of course, since it's essentially just a shield, the shielding effect will automatically fade as you spend more time in Luofu... However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this shielding effect should last for a few months, and you probably won't be staying in Luofu that long, right?"

　"Indeed, we can't stay that long."

　Jingliu nodded, then hesitated for a moment before removing the black veil from his face.

　"Your treatment... is very effective."

　"This is also related to the fact that your problem is a mental one. However, if you want to completely cure your demonic body... maybe one day I will become the Envoy of Abundance, and then you can untie your knot in your heart. There might be some chance. So, you should try your best. Maybe I can really cure you in the future."

　"Ah……"

　Jingliu smiled gently: "Leaving aside how you will become the Envoy of Abundance... I'm afraid my knot in my heart will be very difficult to untie."

　"Right now, I'm almost entirely driven by hatred to keep this broken body going. If I could untie the knot in my heart and let this hatred vanish... perhaps I would immediately fall into nothingness?"

　"Oh dear, don't say such discouraging things."

　Lingmo put her hands on her hips: "Life still has many beautiful things. You say you only have hatred in your heart, but you didn't seem to think so when you were instructing Yanqing on that sword strike. And even if we don't mention Yanqing, if I brought Bailu over to you, I don't believe you could just leave her alone. Don't be so hypocritical. You clearly still have many things worth caring about in your heart..."

　"Smooth-talking... How come all the kids these days are like Jingyuan?"

　Jingliu slightly curled the corners of his mouth and shook his head helplessly.

　"Fine, if that's how you say it, then let's just say it is... I can't do anything about guys like you who are so enthusiastic and cheerful, with sunshine in their hearts... Since you want to 'cure' me, then I'll wait for you."

　"But you mustn't mess things up before you heal me... After all, people like her usually don't end up with a good ending."

　"You mean Bai Heng... Don't worry."

　Lingmo patted her chest: "I have plenty of experience with plane crashes, these are no problem for me."

　"Well... Sister Jingliu, now that I've finished the treatment..."

　"Oh, and there's a reward..."

　Jingliu thought for a moment and said, "What you need is to touch my body, right? In that case..."

　Jingliu's figure appeared in front of Lingmo in an instant. After hesitating for a moment, he gently hugged the bewildered pink-clad girl, and then disappeared again, leaving only a sentence floating in the air.

　"I have paid you the reward you requested... If you need anything else, come find me in Luofu."

　"Tsk... she's still shy..."

　"But, have I forgotten something?"

　Lingmo looked thoughtful.

　"Oh, right, Yanqing!"

　Lingmo then remembered that when she and Jingliu were making their secret deal, Jingliu seemed to have looked into the distance several times, presumably to check on Yanqing's condition.

　With a black abyss white flower quickly appearing in her hand, Lingmo hurriedly began to heal the severely injured Yanqing. After all, in the original work, by the time Yanqing recovered from Jingliu's sword strike, Jingliu had already vanished without a trace, which shows how much damage that sword strike had inflicted on our genius swordsman 123.

　"How are you, Yanqing? Are you alright?"

　"I'm fine, thank you for your treatment, Sister Lingmo..."

　Yanqing shook her head and stood up.

　“However, that mysterious person just now… how could she be so strong? No, letting such a being roam freely in Luofu will definitely… I have to report to General Chen immediately.”

　"Alright, alright, Yanqing, no need to report anymore."

　Lingmo quickly stopped Yanqing's actions.

　"Don't worry about that. Your master, Jingyuan, knows exactly who's in Luofu and where they are. If I didn't know he was the hunting envoy, I would have suspected that this guy was some kind of genius or someone destined for the end. His plans are as clear as day..."

　"What……"

　Ignoring Yanqing's stunned expression, Lingmo placed her hand on Yanqing's head amidst his puzzled gaze.

　"Next, do not resist my power... Before the Feather Dust expires, I will reinforce this memory of yours."

　"Strengthen memory?"

　"Yes, reinforce the memory of that sword strike from Kagami-ryu."

　Lingmo closed her eyes slightly, and soon Yanqing found that the sword in her memory had become clear. Every flow of power and every movement of Jingliu seemed to be clearly visible.

　"Alright, reinforcement complete."

　Lingmo clapped her hands: "In your spare time, be sure to contemplate and study this sword technique at all times. Don't waste the opportunity that Jingliu has given you."

　"And... next time you see Jingliu, be polite and remember to say 'thank you, Master' first."

　"Oh, okay... wait a minute?!"

　Yanqing nodded, looking confused, then suddenly realized, "Thank you... thank who?"

　"Grandmaster?!"

　"That's right, Jingliu was the previous Sword Master of Luofu, and also the master of your master Jingyuan... It's true that there's a saying about the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. If Jingyuan saw Jingliu's attitude towards you, his eyes would probably widen in surprise."

　"Yes, really..."

　Yanqing finally realized what was going on.

　"No wonder Sister Jingliu praised my swordsmanship at first, but became strict after she found out I was the general's disciple..."

　Chapter 169 Holy crap, a cheat! What else could this be but a cheat that includes X-ray vision and a lock-on lock?!

　"Phew... I didn't expect we could resolve the Industrial Construction Bureau's problem so quickly. I thought it would take a long time."

　"This is all thanks to Master Gongshu from the Ministry of Works."

　Walter said in a calm voice, "After all, when we arrived at the Engineering Bureau, he had already cleared away a large area of ​​the Jianmu roots. In the game, that's like skipping the troublesome minions and going straight to challenge the final boss."

　"However, that Abundant Black Deer is indeed troublesome... Even though it was the only opponent, it still took us a lot of time. Hopefully, Fu Xuan Taibu from the Pill Cauldron Department won't encounter any problems because of this."

　"Don't worry, it won't happen."
