How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

She told him that day that she had the Plague God constitution; if she got close to cattle and sheep, they would die, and if she got close to her clan, they would be plagued with bad luck.

This was a lie. The truth was: she was the Qing Yan of the Nine Headed Snake. If she got close to her family, the Nine Headed Snake would know she cared about them and would use her family against her. Only by pretending she didn't care about her family at all, showing complete indifference, would the Nine Headed Snake not use her family against her.

"I'm feeling a bit whimsical now, really, Dawa!" Lin Xiaosu said, "After wiping out the remnants of the Nine Headed Snake at Doufang Mountain, I feel like the entire sky over Daxia has become brighter. Passing through the grassland this time, the flowers bloom exceptionally beautiful, the moon by the Tali River is bright and spotless. This moon of yours should go back and illuminate the lands of your homeland."

Dawa seemed to stop breathing for a moment.

Lin Xiaosu seemed to speak casually, but the information contained within was unparalleled.

Cleaning out the remnants of the Nine Headed Snake at Doufang Mountain?

If he didn't know where the Nine-headed Snake Headquarters was, he couldn't possibly know Doufang Mountain.

The fact that this place name came out of his mouth already proved one thing: the Nine-headed Snake Headquarters really was destroyed!

Are you telling me that you actually know all about me?

Are you telling me that you worry about the Nine Headed Snake's revenge? Now there's no need at all.

However, he didn't say it explicitly.

He only told her that the whole sky over Daxia had become brighter!

Dawa... didn't know what to say...

It seemed like a long-standing shadow over her heart got torn apart.

"Should I go and meet the Heavenly Master?" Lin Xiaosu shifted the conversation, opening a new chapter...

Dawa glanced outside the courtyard, leaned closer: "Brother, I lied to him, my master is sleeping, and he doesn't know what's happening outside."

Lin Xiaosu was slightly surprised: "That Heavenly Master Order of yours, is it... stolen?"

"No," Dawa said, "The Heavenly Master Order was originally given to me by my master, allowing me to use it at any time."

Now everything made sense.

It was not the Heavenly Master who rescued them from the perilous situation with Chi Lian today.

It was just Dawa.

If Dawa had stolen the Heavenly Master Order and used it directly against Chi Lian, it would have been a major violation, but the Heavenly Master Order was indeed given to her by the Heavenly Master, allowing her to use it anytime, which completely changed the nature of it. It equaled the Heavenly Master transferring the special privilege given by Luanyun Heavenly Sect Master to this disciple.

There's nothing wrong with a disciple using the Heavenly Master Order.

However, claiming the name of the Heavenly Master without permission is still "deceiving the master", which carries risks.

That's why when she returned to the Heavenly Master Mansion, she didn't mention the Heavenly Master Order at all.

"Brother, since it's so rare for you to visit, I'll make something delicious for you," Dawa left these words and hurried out.

Lin Xiaosu sat in the courtyard, watching her departing figure, dazed and lost in thought.

A thread of voice reached his ears: "Who... is she?"

Feng Ji's secret transmission.

A thread of sound was sent back by Lin Xiaosu: "The night before I entered Kun Cang, I met a Tibetan girl in Miyan Town."

"Just a chance meeting? She was willing to give up a Heavenly Master Order to save you from a certain death situation?" Feng Ji found it somewhat unbelievable.

It's hard to believe for anyone else too.

The Heavenly Master Order represents the promise of the Luanyun Heavenly Sect Master.

Three Master Orders can accomplish three things, regardless of what those things are, it will be unconditionally executed.

How precious is such a token?

Who would be willing to use it for saving a person?

But Dawa was willing!

And she even risked deceiving her master.

Can this be achieved by a chance encounter?

"The connection between me and her is quite interesting actually," Lin Xiaosu's eyes shimmered with a light Feng Ji could not understand.

"Then tell me..."

Lin Xiaosu said: "That day, I told her my girlfriend was called little Ye, she was poisoned and dying, the outside world couldn't cure the poison, so we needed to go to Miyan Road to find the jietai fruit, or Holy Branch Dew, or the legendary Water Spirit Ice Heart. She accompanied me all the way, even to the most dangerous places she went to find them. When they couldn't be found on Miyan Road, she entered Kun Cang and actually found a bottle of Holy Branch Dew, waiting for me in the Southern Border. She told me she hoped that little Ye and I could still see our own sky."

He had told this story three times.

The first time, to Chang Ye, which moved Chang Ye deeply.

The second time, to Blue Demon, Blue Demon was very cautious because, by then, she already knew this seemingly simple "teenage romantic" girl was actually Qing Yan, a super Nirvana of the Nine Headed Snake. Anyone in the world could be simple, but not the Nirvanas of the Nine Headed Snake.

Clearly not a simple person, disguised as an innocent little girl, getting close to her beloved... Um, her best friend's beloved, what was that supposed to mean?

This was the third time!

Feng Ji was a bit puzzled after listening to the story: "Junior Brother, is this story of yours real or fake?"

"Of course, it's fake!"

"There's no little Ye?"

"Cough... there is little Ye, but she's not poisoned."

Feng Ji stared at him for a long time: "Junior Brother, don't you feel it's over the top to make up a tragic story for someone you love? Don't you feel guilty using such a story to gain the sympathy of a naive, innocent girl?"

"I... I just thought about sneaking into that team, getting her to show the way, and spoke without thinking, who would've thought she was so sincere?"

"Indeed!" Feng Ji nodded, "Junior Brother, you have a face that could bring disaster to the nation... oh no, it's more like a face that wreaks havoc on women, clearly not much related to 'innocence'. Anyone with a bit of experience hearing your story would know you have ulterior motives, but it's rare to see someone who cares to such an extent."

"..." Lin Xiaosu's mouth was slightly open, unable to say a word.

Feng Ji's gaze shifted slightly, "Deceiving young girls should be quite common for you, let's not talk about it, just tell me what next?"

What happens next...

That's what they should be thinking about.

If Dawa, carrying the master's order, invites them into the Heavenly Master Mansion, the Heavenly Master, as a great power of Luanyun Heavenly, might indeed have a way to break the current situation.

However, Dawa was not acting under a master's order.

Her master, the Heavenly Master, was sleeping and was completely unaware of this matter.

The situation became more complicated.

As soon as they left the Heavenly Master Mansion, Chi Lian would still come after them.

Could they possibly get another Heavenly Master Token?

Of course not!

In fact, the situation remained unresolved.

It was just that the immediate crisis had turned into a dilemma.

Of course, this is what Feng Ji perceived.

Lin Xiaosu slowly lifted his gaze: "Let's wait until the Heavenly Master wakes up, then we'll discuss things with him."

Noon had passed.

The setting sun had descended.

Dawa brought a meal that she prepared herself, and why did she make it herself? Because she was an outsider, she worried that the food made in the Heavenly Master Mansion wouldn't suit his taste.

How could Lin Xiaosu not recognize this goodwill?

After dinner, he casually asked, "Would it be convenient for me to visit the Heavenly Master tonight?"

Dawa, who was tidying up the dishes, turned around: "Master is sleeping, and he won't wake until the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xiaosu was taken aback.

Since when was awakening from sleep measured in days?

Feng Ji frowned slightly: "Is your master actually in seclusion?"

Only during seclusion would time be measured in days.

Dawa smiled gently: "You could say it's seclusion. If there is nothing special, Master will only awaken once a month, on the night of the full moon... Brother, you don't need to worry, Sect Master Chi won't enter the Heavenly Master Mansion. Rest here for a few days; when Master wakes up, I'll ask him to send you away."

"Well... alright then!"

After Dawa finished tidying the dishes and reached the door, she suddenly turned back: "Is this sister Little Ye?"

Lin Xiaosu was a bit perplexed.

This Demon-faced Witch's characteristics were so obvious, yet you don't recognize her?

Feng Ji spoke: "Yes, I am! Dawa, he told me about you, how you went to Kun Cang just to bring me the Holy Branch Dew, thank you so much, really."

"It's nothing... It's great that you're well... You all rest well here." Dawa left.

She did not look back again.

The courtyard became quiet.

The oil lamp was lit, and the two of them sat under its glow.

"I pretended to be Little Ye because, in the Tiger and Wolf Domain, we needed to be in a room together," Feng Ji said, "To not shatter her beautiful illusion, I thought it'd be better to act as Little Ye."

"Understood!"

Dawa had a good impression of him because of the story Lin Xiaosu had fabricated.

If Lin Xiaosu was now staying with another woman, how would Dawa feel? Would her beautiful story not be shattered and distorted beyond recognition?

Feng Ji pretended to be Little Ye to not break her beautiful fantasy.

Being Little Ye, it didn't matter.

They could stay together, fitting the romantic story setting...

But why did Feng Ji's gaze seem a bit strange?

Having spent a lot of time with Feng Ji,

Lin Xiaosu was very attuned to her expressions.

It might also be that this senior sister often wore a mask, only revealing her eyes, so all her emotions were primarily expressed through her gaze...

At this moment, her gaze held a touch of mystery.

Feng Ji softly exhaled, her Secret Transmission more focused: "Did you notice there's something off about her?"

"What?" Lin Xiaosu was slightly startled.

Feng Ji said: "Inside her body, there's an aura of life and death, and this energy completely surpasses her current cultivation level."

"There's an explanation! I'm not sure if it's the real answer," Lin Xiaosu pondered, "She was originally one of the Genetic People, her bloodline genes underwent Nirvana, retaining the capabilities of a Nirvana, hence, the internal energy surpasses her cultivation level."

She started as a Genetic Person, and after undergoing genetic modification by the Nine Headed Snake, she evolved into a Nirvana.

Nirvana, known as the highest level among Genetic People.

In truth, this statement is flawed!

The fundamental principle of Nirvana is to use genetic stimulation to awaken the anomalies of one's own bloodline. During her Nirvana, she completed a magnificent transformation—considering foreign genes merely as stimuli, the true effect comes from the activation of her own bloodline.

What does this imply?

It implies she broke free from the "Genetic People cannot cultivate" restriction; she can cultivate!

Dawa indeed began her cultivation, her level not low, as she had erected a Blood Tower and entered the Observing Earth stage.

Strictly speaking, she was the only individual Lin Xiaosu had met who transitioned from a Genetic Person to a Cultivator.

At this moment, Feng Ji, originally from the Desolate Realm, noticed her anomaly.

That was her internal energy surpassing her current cultivation level.

"Your explanation is likely not the real answer. I've heard of external Nirvana similar to Divine Demon Refining Body, yet even with Divine Demon Refining Body, it wouldn't produce such atypical energy inside her; she seems to be a humanoid vessel specially designed for storing life and death aura."

This lay beyond Lin Xiaosu's knowledge base, and he asked, surprised: "For her, is it a blessing or a curse?"
