This was insane.
Chen Huaian swore on an Old Beijing Chicken Wrap.
Li Qingran actually used the Yunnan Folk Song Secret Technique on him—Take a grab at your xxx.
Retreat. Imdiate battlefield retreat.
If he didn’t get out now, his dignified image as a Master would be completely ruined.
【You have gone offline】【Single-use Sensory Raincoat destroyed】
【Please continue increasing your affection level with Digital Girlfriend to unlock more ga functions! Your Heart Link with Digital Girlfriend has reached 105. You may spend 100 to activate 】
Seeing the item destroyed, Chen Huaian couldn’t pretend he didn’t feel anything.
If he hadn’t force-quit the session, that raincoat would've lasted at least a solid 24 hours.
By then, who knows, maybe a kid would’ve already been conceived.
“What was the Heart Link again?”
Chen Huaian thought it over for a bit.
Combined with Li Qingran’s affection level, he quickly figured it out.
Right now, his affection level with Li Qingran was —which didn’t an just 5 points, but a whopping 205. The exact relationship status wasn’t displayed though.
The dim heart in front indicated he had already used Divine Wandering in the Void once—back when he battled the demonized cancer cells and Li Qingran helped him escape.
The glowing heart at the end represented one available use.
Every 100 points of affection granted one use.
“So Li Qingran also has a chance of coming to the modern world? Just not sure if it’ll be her avatar or her real self.” Chen Huaian stared at the suspicious bump under the blanket, lost in thought—this bizarre modern world could totally be explained as a pocket sub-world.
As for how terrible his real cultivation state was?
“Oh right, I’ll just say my cultivation is suppressed in this world!”
Chen Huaian suddenly thought of Secret Realms.
Secret Realms had their own rules and could even restrict flying.
So would it be weird for the modern world to suppress his cultivation? Not at all! And as for why Li Qingran wasn’t suppressed... ever heard of World Repulsion?
He was too strong—the stronger you are, the greater the repulsion.
Soone like Li Qingran, who was only at the Golden Core stage, wouldn’t be affected.
In that case, even if he used the Sect Summoning Order, there’d be no issues. That excuse would totally hold up.
“F***, I’m a genius!”
Chen Huaian clapped his fists together with a sly grin on his face.
【Governor, I ca to see you~ And I brought so important news!】
The ssage phone by the bed suddenly rang.
It was Lin Lingling’s voice.
No idea when she’d left the ssage.
Chen Huaian glanced at the ti—it was almost morning.
He stepped out of the room and opened the gate to Containnt Site 0.
Looking around, he saw a petite figure curled up pitifully in the shadows by the doorway.
It was Triple Zero.
Chen Huaian looked at the still-young middle school girl and felt a little guilty.
He’d been a bit too strict with Lin Lingling sotis.
Like making her run 500 extra laps around the training field. For a newbie cultivator, that had to be brutal.
Honestly, the Exorcist Division’s cultivation thod sucked.
The breathing technique they had, called Return to Origin True Art, sounded fancy, but in the Cangyun Realm’s six-tier system—Saint, Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow, Human—it barely scraped the Yellow tier.
No need to look far.
Just check the Demonic Path Faction Store. They had legit Earth-grade techniques at decent prices.
Ti to make it up to this girl.
Didn’t cost him anything anyway.
Chen Huaian picked up the sleeping Lin Lingling and dropped her on the sofa.
No idea what this girl had bought.
She was clutching it tightly like it was a treasure.
“Hey, wake up. If you don’t, your big news is gonna rot into spam.”
“Mm… Governor…” Lin Lingling rubbed her eyes. The mont she saw Chen Huaian, she perked right up, pulling out ten boxes of Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pills and holding them up high: “Governor, you’ve worked so hard. I can’t do much, but please take these.”
Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pills—Chen Huaian’s face darkened when he saw the label.
What the hell? Did he look like soone with kidney deficiency? He looked full of life all day long!
Still, the little girl ant well.
She’s just a kid—what does she know?
No need to be petty.
Chen Huaian took them and stashed them in a drawer.
“No need to buy these again. I don’t need them.”
“Ohh.” Lin Lingling nodded.
Deep down, she thought—just as expected of the badass she’d watched rise through the ranks.
Straight-up amazing!
An absolute king!!!
Even when facing those ancient old hags from the mysterious factions, probably centuries old, she bet he could still hold his ground while playing ntal chess with them.
Truly a role model for the ages!
A symbol of hope for all Exorcists!
“So, what’s this big news?” he asked.
“Oh right! It’s about the Monster Hunting Tournant, organized by Qingfeng Sect under Kunlun Immortal Palace and Little Thunder Temple under Great Thunder Temple, together with over a dozen other mysterious factions.”
Lin Lingling pulled a flashy flyer from under her skirt and handed it to Chen Huaian.
“Each province’s Exorcist Division gets one slot. The rest go to the major families. Just participating earns you a bunch of resources… So, Governor, you interested?”
Chen Huaian skimd the flyer.
Right now, mysterious factions were popping up left and right. In Huazone, the most famous were Kunlun Immortal Palace and Great Thunder Temple. But nas like Wudang, Ei, Shaolin, and other familiar sects had also reappeared.
These weren’t tourist traps anymore.
They were real cultivation sects.
Qingfeng Sect was one of them.
The so-called Monster Hunting Tournant was about hunting monsters and cursed spirits within designated areas set by the factions. Rankings were based on number and strength of kills, with the top 100 getting rewards.
Even the lowest tier reward was a Cyclone Pill.
That was a basic enlightennt pill to help normal people sense spiritual energy.
A big deal to regular folks.
To Chen Huaian? It was garbage on the roadside.
Top ten rewards included techniques and Bone-Cleansing Pills, plus a shot at entering a mysterious faction for training.
Top three would receive a “Master’s Enlightennt Session, directly boosting power, guaranteed to reach Foundation Establishnt”—straight from the flyer.
“Sounds a bit too good to be true. These mysterious factions handing out freebies?”
Chen Huaian didn’t believe in free pies falling from the sky.
If it were just Bone-Cleansing Pills, he couldn’t care less.
One glance at the Dan Sect and he could be popping those like candy. As for techniques? Please. The Sword Pavilion’s scripture library was overflowing with secret arts—he already had so of the best.
But…
A guaranteed boost to Foundation Establishnt.
Chen Huaian had to admit—he was a little tempted.
Sure, his talent was almost maxed out, aside from his Dantian.
Right now, it was the environnt that was slowing his cultivation.
Even a full day of spiritual energy from the Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid wasn’t enough to train for a single hour.
He was burning through spirit stones like firewood.
Crazy, right?
And maybe it was because of his dual Sword Bones or body refinent, but his Dantian was like a bottomless pit.
He did the math—if Li Qingran needed 1 unit of spiritual energy to complete one layer of training, he needed 100.
At his current level—Qi Refining, fifth layer—
Breaking through to Foundation Establishnt, even ignoring the insane spirit stone cost, would take half a month to a full month.
In the Cangyun Realm, that was enough ti for half the world to change.
No telling what might happen...
“This actually sounds pretty good. I’ve got no big missions right now. I’ll join.” Chen Huaian nodded, then asked, “So, how do I sign up?”
“Hehe~” Lin Lingling stuck her tongue out. “We already signed you up!”
Chen Huaian: “???”
