Back at the hotel.
Chen Huaian felt relieved when he realized no one had touched anything in the room.
He disliked others touching his belongings, even those guards.
Ba Ji peeked out from a corner and upon seeing Chen Huaian, quickly meowed and then sat in front of him, pretending to lick its paw.
The big green fish in the basin slightly lifted its head out of the water, as if listening to the commotion inside the room.
Chen Huaian plugged his phone into the charger.
Sitting on the bed, he started sorting out his chaotic thoughts.
“The world has already begun to feel off!”
Hearing Chen Huaian’s muttering, Ba Ji paused abruptly, its frightened eyes slowly looking up.
Could it be… Could it be that the boss has already found out?!
“Since coming back from Heavenly Gate Mountain, things have been strange. That mutated wolf died suspiciously, three zeros asked me some odd questions, and today I almost died right in front of them. I was taken to the guard bureau where I met a powerful man disguised as a net cafe owner, with very mysterious behavior…”
Chen Huaian’s thoughts gradually connected, his eyes growing brighter.
However, Ba Ji’s expression became increasingly panicked.
The boss.
Is he about to awaken his memories?
What blocked my vision? The sky in the room turned dark!
This… This is an incredibly terrifying pressure!
To the point of stealing the sun and replacing the moon!
“Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., Avengers… X-Men! Hahaha!”
Ba Ji: “?”
What is the boss saying? It’s completely incomprehensible.
Ba Ji pushed away the sock Chen Huaian had thrown on its face, feeling like everything was fine, and continued to pretend to lick its paw.
“Lingling wearing school uniform and carrying a long spear in the deep mountains is definitely off! She killed that mutated wolf too! This wuzzy beard is the most suspicious, able to command the guards but clearly not part of the system. He gave an address that looks like a cover for some mysterious organization!”
“I understand!” Chen Huaian struck his palm with his fist.
“Three zeros and the wuzzy beard are members of some mysterious organization. They discovered that I was transformed by cancer cells into a superhuman, so they approached me proactively. And the wuzzy beard bought my talisman for 100,000 yuan to leave a lasting impression on me! As for the three zeros… well…”
Chen Huaian stroked his chin in thought.
He couldn’t figure out why the three zeros were covered in bl**d at his door.
“Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Anyway, my identity as the tumor superhuman has been exposed, so they will come back.”
Adhering to the principle of not thinking too much and enjoying life every day,
Chen Huaian started the electronic girlfriend game.
“Master, you’re finally here!”
The moment Chen Huaian logged in, Li Qingran, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion meditating, immediately opened her eyes, lifting her pretty face to look at the ceiling, her eyebrows curved.
She could feel the warmth of the master’s gaze.
“Oh~ As expected, only an electronic girlfriend can heal my heart!” Chen Huaian looked at the screen where Li Qingran’s cheeks were slightly flushed, full of anticipation and little excitement, feeling his heart filled with soft warmth.
“Master, many things happened while you were gone!”
Li Qingran enthusiastically counted on her fingers.
She started from her morning lessons.
She talked about how the Sword Pavilion lectures were easy to understand, and the elders and disciples were not aloof, except for fierce competition for seats. Most of the time, everyone got along harmoniously. She also mentioned the cunning sect leader and how her senior sister Yue Qianchi woke him up.
Every time she mentioned something interesting, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Right, Master, these are gifts from my fellow disciples!”
Li Qingran showed Chen Huaian a pile of various items on the bed, explaining the effects and uses of each item and who gave them.
“It seems you really like the Sword Pavilion.”
Chen Huaian felt relieved. Li Qingran had been bullied so much in the Bluecloud Sect, but since joining the Sword Pavilion, she seemed much happier.
“Of course, it’s great here, everyone treats Qingran well.” Li Qingran said gratefully, “No wonder it’s a sect where the master once stayed. After just a few days, I already feel like home.”
Chen Huaian awkwardly rubbed his nose.
He hadn’t actually stayed in this sect; it was all thanks to the sect leader’s promises to Li Qingran.
“Right, Master, I told the sect leader about your poisoning today!” Li Qingran sat upright at the table, serious.
“Really? What did he say?”
Chen Huaian was also interested.
He wanted to know what the Sword Pavilion leader would say.
“He took me to the ancestral hall to confirm your identity and found your tablet there!”
Chen Huaian: “?”
“I didn’t join the Ten Thousand Sword Peak? Those words on the stone tablet were also written by you—’When the heavens collapse, only one sword remains!’ Hehe, even if the master is thousands of miles away, Qingran can still choose your mountain gate!” Li Qingran couldn’t hold back her smile, feeling everything was destined.
The disciple.
Just happened to join the master’s mountain gate.
That’s fate.
Chen Huaian: “? ? ?”
Wait, this, this isn’t right.
They found the tablet?
He wrote on the stone tablet at Ten Thousand Sword Peak?
So, according to the plot of this game, wouldn’t it turn out that he is actually a grand elder of the Sword Pavilion? Even in 2034, this plot is still overly dramatic!
“Master, the sect leader asked where you are now and what realm you’ve reached, so he can arrange for someone to bring you detoxifying pills.”
Hearing Li Qingran’s words, Chen Huaian was stunned.
What state?
He’s in Asia!
How should he handle this?
Fortunately, a dialogue box popped up in the game.
[1] This sovereign is not in the Cangyun Realm, but trapped in a small universe.[2] Actually, this sovereign is not a grand elder of the Sword Pavilion.[3] Hehehe, useless, this sovereign is about to d*e, already possessed by a great demon, hehe…[4] Use a communication talisman to answer freely.
…
Chen Huaian paused for a moment and imitated the tone of the game dialogue box:
“This sovereign is currently not in the Cangyun Realm, but trapped in an alternate space. It’s full of demonic beasts, very dangerous, you can’t come over. I appreciate your intentions, prepare some detoxifying pills. Although they may not work, this sovereign can use divine abilities to anchor the pills to your location and retrieve them!”
“Ahh? Trapped in an alternate space full of demonic beasts…”
Li Qingran froze, her face pale, feeling the air around her solidify, a suffocating sensation pressing down on her heart, her heart aching.
So the master’s environment was that dangerous.
So, the master had endured so much hardship.
She had thought that with the sect leader’s help, they could find the master, but…
Li Qingran frowned, her eyes heating up.
Something hot and wet slid down her eyes.
‘Can’t lose heart.’
‘The master has suffered enough, how can I make him worry about me, a mediocre disciple?’
Li Qingran took a deep breath, stubbornly lifting her head, forcing herself to stay positive, squeezing a warm smile onto her face: “Master, rest assured, disciple has already found a formula in the scripture hall that can detoxify any poison in the world. Disciple will definitely refine the best detoxifying pill for you!”
She thought to herself.
How isolated and helpless must the master be in that world full of demonic beasts? There must be no light, the master must be under constant attack by countless monsters, fighting day and night without respite.
Perhaps the time the master spends talking to her is the only time he gets to rest each day, so short.
That calm and warm voice must carry so much pain.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached, feeling choked up.
Blinking, tears still fell down her cheeks.
She clenched her fists, speaking word by word:
“Disciple won’t let you d*e!”
