Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Keqing sighed.

"Okay, don't worry about it." Keqing patted his shoulder. "The plan you mentioned before is very good. I'll leave the alchemy job to you."

Keqing didn't say anything more and walked away, leaving Ye Shang standing there in a daze.

"Just... die like this?"

So, the kind of thing in memory couldn't have happened?

Ye Shang was still a little dizzy and had trouble reacting for a while.

But Keqing looked serious when she walked out of the room.

"Will the Desolate State be destroyed because of that existence? What exactly is that thing?"

Keqing couldn't help but feel a little worried. She suddenly remembered the illusion outside the wall that seemed real and unreal. The entire wall seemed to be filled with that kind of existence, but it disappeared in a flash.

If those things are true, then...

"No, probably not."

If they could really break through the boundary wall, there would not be the need for evil cultivators to summon sacrifices. The thing Ye Shang mentioned should have been summoned by the group of evil cultivators. As for what she saw outside, Keqing had other guesses in her mind.

Either some kind of pollution that he was not aware of at the time remained on his body and deceived himself, or what he saw with his own eyes did not match the reality, after all, those phantoms disappeared afterwards.

So it is very likely some kind of spatial dislocation.

Because he was contaminated with the aura, he became an anchor point, and thus traveled through time and space and saw the dislocated space.

"System, do you know this kind of thing exists?"

[This, I need to see the real thing. ]

Keqing waved her hand and remembered

The images in the memory appear in front of your eyes as projections. This is a spell that extracts and projects memories.

[This... I can't tell, maybe it's not a physical entity. ]

The system can only see the shape of this thing as a giant pupil. It doesn't know anything more and it is not in the database.

[Master, you killed this creature on March 1th, ? ]

"how do you know?"

[Because I felt a huge power on that day, it must be because you, Master, changed a fate with great cause and effect, so I got it. Combined with what Ye Shang said just now, I made a guess.]

"So, if I don't kill that thing, the future of Desolate State might really be destroyed as I remember?"

Keqing was surprised.

[Should not]

"Why?"

[If it is really as he said, then Master, you will gain a huge amount of merit and power by killing that evil creature, and the power I gained cannot be just this little.]

[So it is very likely that the memory of destroying the Wasteland State in his memory is just a possibility of fate, and this possibility is relatively low.]

[But even if it is too low, it is fate. Master, you cut off this fate, which is equivalent to solving the troubles for the Wasteland State. After all, the Wasteland State was not destroyed. If you, the master, had not encountered it, the subsequent development would definitely be unfavorable to the Wasteland State.]

[As for your guidance from the unknown, I guess it is also the will of heaven. Heaven has predicted the future development, so it will save itself and lead you forward. ]

"It's actually the Way of Heaven. I thought it was just my guess... So can the Way of Heaven really influence people?"

[Master, why do you ask this? As long as they are under the heavenly way, all living beings will be disturbed. Thunder tribulation, fate, luck, and aptitude, aren't these all destined or the path planned by the heavenly way? ]

This is true.

Keqing nodded.

"So as long as it is under the law of heaven, no one can escape it?"

Keqing thought of those cultivators who claimed to be able to defy the will of heaven.

[No, the system can do it, and so can you, the master. ]

"The system you're talking about might be the theft of luck!"

Keqing said meaningfully.

[Ahem, that's another system. As the master of your system, you can do whatever you want! I will never do such petty things! ]

Keqing can only listen to the system's guarantee, because whether it guarantees it or not, it cannot be done.

Keqing blinked and said nothing more. She slowly walked out of the mansion under the gazes of everyone in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Sister City Lord~"

Suddenly, a small figure came running over and Keqing took it.

"Hu San, why are you here? Isn't there an in-class exam today?"

Keqing's words instantly froze Fox Three's face, who was preparing a lot of flattery.

"Ah... I have something else to do. My sister is in the front group six nine four; nine three six one three five."

"and many more!"

Keqing grabbed her neck.

"Where did you get that thing in your hand? Did you go to someone else to cheat someone?"

"I……"

"be honest."

"Okay... it was just a kind-hearted older brother who gave it to me. He really didn't lie!"

Fox Three drooped his ears and subconsciously touched his butt.

Chapter 823: The Fox Cub's Battle of Wisdom and Courage (Chapter 6)

"Huh? Really?"

Keqing looked at her suspiciously.

"Of course!"

Hu San held his head high and made the promise, but Keqing could see the guilt in his eyes.

It is said that foxes love to deceive people. Although this is not entirely true, different people have different opinions.

At least during the time Keqing spent with these fox cubs, she found that these little guys were very cunning. Not only did they like to make trouble, they were also very good at telling lies and loved to play tricks on people.

This is consistent with the rumors. If I weren't smart, I would suffer every time these little guys played a trick on me. Maybe my so-called good impression would turn into bad impression.

"In that case, I will take you to the school to see why you are out at this time. I remember that it is not yet time for school to end, and there is no holiday today. I remember that Mr. Hu did not seem to have any urgent matters and asked for leave!"

Keqing said calmly, picking up the little fox and leaving. Fox Three became anxious upon hearing this, and stammered, trying to find a way to slip away.

However, Keqing held her neck tightly and would not let go no matter how she argued.

If she has a stomachache, she'll get it checked out.

If you have an urgent matter and I don't have anything else to do, I'll go with you.

Various reasons were given, but Keqing responded to them one by one with impeccable answers.

"Well, what other reasons do you have?"

"No, no..."

The little fox drooped his ears and looked hopeless.

Wow, if I had known I wouldn't have taken this route.

Along the way, Keqing and the little fox also attracted the attention of the crowd.

Keqing also knows that she is very popular. Along the way, people either greet her or bring her food and other things. Therefore, she usually changes her face to avoid jams and congestion.

It is obvious that she is aware of her current popularity.

Ordinary people would avoid an ordinary city lord when they see him, but only the people of Li City, as the city lord of Li City, would do so.

After all

He is the only city lord who is friendly and sincerely willing to help people deal with difficulties.

He is neither arrogant nor a spendthrift, and he always offers help whenever there is a problem, be it tax subsidies or medical treatments.

For example, last time, beggars were discovered in Li City. After Keqing learned about the situation, she found out that someone was oppressing and exploiting them. These beggars had no livelihood or shelter because they had just arrived. She immediately dealt with the oppressors one by one and sent the beggars to a recently established place that specializes in teaching others life skills.

There were also cases where vendors shortchanged her on the weight of items, and she also imposed severe penalties to serve as a warning to others. Of course, this included but was not limited to those who took advantage of their official positions to get free food and drinks, or who took advantage of the backdoor.

She will never show any leniency when encountering such a situation. That is why Keqing has always been very popular in Licheng.

Although there is normal real-time supervision and even special undercover agents, even if Keqing does not take action, she will be discovered and dealt with soon. However, the city lord's fate is different. This represents the direction of the wind, and it also allows everyone to feel the city lord's determination. After a while, he will naturally be welcomed and supported by everyone.

Especially when there is strong contrast.

Of course, she is gentle and approachable without losing her dignity. If someone thinks she is easy to talk to, then he will act recklessly, such as trying to scam people, then Keqing will naturally give him the same severe blow.

All in all, because of her various behaviors during this time since she came back, her image did not become unfamiliar because of her one-year absence. On the contrary, everyone's image of her became more three-dimensional.

There are even some special products related to the Lord of Licheng that are portrayed in her image.

For example, candied haws, clay figurines, and action figures in the image of Keqing.

There are even steamed buns and food in the image of Keqing.

In the end, it was even so outrageous that the stone lions at the door had to be replaced with the image of the city lord.

The former didn't matter to her, but Keqing couldn't stand the latter and strongly expressed her disapproval, which put an end to this increasingly outrageous trend of idol worship.

It was because of this that she understood why she was so popular and why she would change her image every time she went out.

It is useful for low-level cultivators, and can be seen through at a glance for high-level cultivators. However, those who can see through it naturally know that she does not want to attract attention and will only nod and salute from a distance as a greeting.

However, although Keqing's image changed, Fox Three did not, so she attracted a lot of attention along the way.

"Hey, you little fox cub, what trouble have you caused again? Have you been caught and reported to the master?"

An old man on the side said with glee.

This little guy had tricked him into giving him several candied haws before, saying that both his parents were dead. He found out he had been tricked afterwards. Fortunately, someone helped to compensate him. He then realized that this little guy liked to play tricks on people and lie to them, so he immediately started to tease him.

This time the girl is probably also a victim!

I guess he grabbed this little guy and went to complain.

That’s right, now when these fox cubs encounter trouble, everyone will go to the school or the City Lord’s Mansion to complain. After all, everyone knows that these foxes are the descendants of the Fox King who protects them.

Although they were initially grateful and respectful to the Fox King, so the damage or loss caused by the little fox was just a waste!

As a result, the city lord said that if you encounter deception or pranks and damage something, you can report it immediately and you will get compensation. There is no special treatment.

Someone tried to report the loss and actually received compensation. The next day, the little fox had a swollen butt.

Everyone then realized that even if the Fox King's descendants caused damage or played tricks on others, they would be punished, and for a moment, they had a much better impression of the little fox.

I just think they are naughty and can tease them occasionally, but I am not really afraid of them and I keep my distance from them.

Of course, there are also some fox cubs whose tricks of deceiving and playing with people's hearts have become more advanced, and they have started to compete with the people in wits and courage.

This is tacitly agreed by Keqing and Yuehu. Only by communicating more with others can one become more worldly-wise and not be deceived because of being raised to be naive.

Moreover, with the interaction between the two, the foxes’ deception skills will improve, and the public’s awareness of fraud prevention will also increase. Over time, this can promote each other and people will not become naive and naive.

Even the people enjoy it. After all, they not only lose the City Lord's Mansion, but they also get to try out new scams!

"Hey little girl! Did this little fox lie to you again? Did he turn into a handsome young man and cheat you out of spiritual stones and candies or something like that?!"

"Let me tell you, this little guy once transformed himself into a kid with patches all over his face and tricked me. If he hadn't revealed his true colors in the end, I would have almost been fooled!"

"I told you to go to the school if you want to file a complaint. It's best to file a complaint in the school. Not only can you get compensation, but you can also watch the fried bamboo shoots for free."

"But the little guy is just joking, so it's better not to spank him. It's best to go to the City Lord's Mansion to complain."

Because of Keqing's tacit agreement, the old man thought she was also a victim and kindly gave her some advice.

"So that's how it is. Thank you, old sir."

Keqing responded with a smile, admitting that she had been deceived.

Fox Three was jumping up and down excitedly.
