Before reaching the Eightfold Realms of the Dharma Realm, I couldn't fight with anyone!
Fighting with oneself is still a fight!
Moreover, Shen Ye always felt that Heart Demons are immortal.
—Even Yun Ni couldn't kill the Heart Demon.
So, how should I pass this test?
Shen Ye thought for a moment, sat down opposite the Heart Demon, and sighed:
"It's like conducting a rite for the Undead."
"Cut the crap, I am not an Undead; I am another you. Think about how you can persuade yourself," the Heart Demon said.
It radiated waves of black glow, its voice being eerie and chaotic:
"You only have one chance—if you fail to meet my demands, I will possess you."
The Heart Demon possessing someone!
"No way, I'll make arrangements for you right away," Shen Ye jumped up and said.
"How will you arrange it?" the Heart Demon asked.
Shen Ye wiped his Ring and took out dozens of blank jade slips issued by the Sect, neatly arranging them on the table.
He picked up a jade slip, recorded a piece of information into it, then grabbed another and entered another piece of information.
His movements were swift and efficient, and in no time, all thirty jade slips were processed.
"Go ahead, everything is arranged inside, choose one!" Shen Ye said.
The Heart Demon, half skeptical, walked to the table and picked up a jade slip.
A segment of information immediately surfaced in its mind:
"I am Shen Ye."
"I was killed by a strange statue and traveled to another world."
"There are no 'Catastrophes' or 'Anomalies' here, only the stable life of a big city."
"Yes, I became a cat."
"Every day, I can sleep soundly, eat happily, and pursue Miss Cat."
"The only job is—"
"Catching that damn mouse!"
The Heart Demon put down the jade slip and slowly turned to look at Shen Ye:
"How did it turn into a cat? Is this how you pensate me?"
"Nowadays, many people like cats; it's very fashionable—if you don't like it, look at the others," Shen Ye said.
The Heart Demon picked up another jade slip.
New information emerged in its mind:
"I am Shen Ye."
"I was killed by a strange statue and traveled to another world."
"There are no 'Catastrophes' or 'Anomalies' here, only a castle dominated by an evil Dragon and a princess slumbering within it."
"Just slay the Dragon, awaken the princess, and I can live a happy life."
The Heart Demon mused, "Slaying the Dragon..."
"I can set the Dragon to be bloodless," Shen Ye said.
"Wouldn't it be too fake?" the Heart Demon asked.
"What's fake? It's not like we're writing a novel—only novels care about logic; the real world is quite magical," Shen Ye said.
"I do agree with that."
The Heart Demon touched a third jade slip.
"I am Shen Ye."
"I was killed by a strange statue and traveled to another world."
"There are no 'Catastrophes' or 'Anomalies,' only many women who love me."
"Right now, I just fell off a cliff and found a very deep cave midway down."
"In the cave, there is an old ape that speaks human language, offering me a secret Cultivation Technique."
"Due to copyright warnings, it hid one book but took out another called the 'Nine Mysteries Divine Technique.'"
"It's powerful martial arts!"
"I can quickly bee invincible and the new founding father!"
After reading, the Heart Demon was somewhat tempted but still put down the jade slip.
It looked through all the jade slips one by one.
Finally, it picked up one.
"If you create such a destiny with all your heart, I will spare you," the Heart Demon said.
At this point, the jade slips on the table were all scrambled, and Shen Ye had no idea which one it had chosen.
"Let me see."
He took the jade slip, probed with spiritual power, and immediately received the information from inside:
"Word has it that you possess a White Jade Beauty, exquisitely carved, brimful of grace; one can't help but yearn for it. Tonight at midnight, I shall e to fetch it under the Moon's watch. Given you are a person of refined taste, surely you won't render my journey fruitless."
Shen Ye couldn't help but look at the Heart Demon with new respect and bowed:
"Excellent taste, young hero."
Somewhere else.
In the depths of the heavens of the Supreme Tao Palace.
The Sect Leader sat high on a precious platform, his eyes slightly open, whispering to himself:
"Can it really be done like this?"
