"You're actually still alive?! You son of a... I should have known, how could someone as badass as you be harvested by the Upper Gods!"
His tone was filled with boundless shock.
But just as those words left his mouth.
Lynn waved his hand, instantly freezing the surrounding space and isolating everything around them.
"Keep your voice down!" Lynn frowned and said, "I knew it was you, you flat-maned lion. Why are you roaring so loudly? If my master hears this, shouldn't I beat you to death?"
But what Lynn didn't know was...
In that instant just now, Nanako had already clearly heard the Sacred Sovereign's words.
Her whole body trembled.
No way!!
Her disciple actually knew the Sacred Sovereign?
Then Lynn's inner thoughts echoed in her mind.
[Damn, no wonder it felt so familiar when I first entered here, so it's this stupid cat...]
[This guy didn't die either, truly shameless. So he survived by voluntarily offering ninety percent of his essence to the Upper Gods?]
[This foolish cat, does he really think those gods are good? They spared his life just to harvest him again later, being used like a leek and not even knowing it! What an idiot!]
[But he does have some skills. If I hadn't entered this place, I wouldn't have been able to sense that he was so close to me...]
[I'm wondering if I should devour it... This stupid cat seems to have accumulated quite a bit of essence... hehehe]
Nanako: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
Listening to her disciple's inner mumblings.
Nanako was instantly shocked.
My goodness!
Not only did her disciple know the Sacred Sovereign, but he seemed to be even more powerful than the Sacred Sovereign!
De... devouring the Sacred Sovereign??
Are we sure he's not a demon?!
She tried hard to turn her head but couldn't, as if the surrounding space was locked.
This wasn't something the Sacred Sovereign would do, could it be her disciple?!
That's impossible!!
...
Several minutes later, no one heard what they discussed during these few minutes.
In the hall.
Lynn stared with dead fish eyes at the pitiful flat-maned lion before him and said:
"I'll spare you this time, but remember, don't tell anyone about me laying low here. Since I know you're still alive, you should know I have the power to end you!"
The Sacred Sovereign crouched submissively on the ground and said:
"Don't worry... my lips are sealed... I also know the Upper Gods aren't good beings. That's why I've been hiding here all these years, accumulating power to settle old scores, meow~~"
Lynn immediately said impatiently: "You're a lion, why are you meowing?"
The Sacred Sovereign complained pitifully: "Isn't this what you forced me to learn back then? You'd beat me if I didn't..."
Lynn: "..."
Lynn rubbed his temples, glanced at his loli master who was frozen not far away, and said with dead fish eyes:
"Alright, that's enough talk for now. Give me some random blessing so I can fool my master, then move away quickly. Two tigers can't share the same mountain - us being so close makes too big a target."
The Sacred Sovereign muttered: "But I was here first..."
Lynn: "Hmm?"
The Sacred Sovereign immediately shook his head like a rattle drum and said: "No... nothing, you're the big brother, whatever you say. I'll move right away..."
Then he reluctantly reached out his paw, plucked some fur from his body, and muttered:
"Still as domineering as thousands of years ago..."
Then he blew the fur toward Lynn.
Instantly.
The floating fur transformed into countless points of light, merging into Lynn's body.
[Ding! You have received the Ancient Sacred Spirit's blessing. Your Holy Affinity has increased by 10,000 points!]
Lynn sneezed, waved away the surrounding light points, and said with annoyance:
"I was wondering why there was so much holy power here. You're shedding so badly, what kind of hiding is this? Just pluck all your fur off when no one's looking, it's not embarrassing!"
The Sacred Sovereign stubbornly said: "No way, I can listen to you about everything else, but my fur is where I draw the line!"
"..."
...
Half an hour later.
Twin-tailed Nanako walked out of the Sacred Veil carrying books.
She gave a strange and complex look at Lynn, who was following behind, whistling while holding his head.
"Disciple, what exactly happened just now? Why did I suddenly become unable to move or hear anything over there?"
Hearing this, Lynn smiled and explained, his eyes gleaming with reverence:
"It was done by the great Sacred Sovereign. Because bestowing a blessing requires an absolutely sealed environment, he temporarily isolated the outside world."
Nanako asked doubtfully: "Is that really what happened?"
Lynn moved his body a bit in front of Nanako and said reverently:
"Yes! The great Sacred Sovereign bestowed upon me the blessing of the sacred spirit. I feel much lighter now. He truly is an incredibly great being!"
Lynn's face showed a reverent and devout expression, his eyes filled with genuine praise.
Just like a believer who had witnessed a divine miracle, that look of admiration was displayed perfectly.
[What else could have happened? That stupid cat got his fur all over my mouth. I've told him to pluck himself clean, but he just won't listen!]
[Sacred Sovereign... that only fools ordinary people. Times really have changed, even pets can reach the heavens now!]
[But I wonder if my loli master noticed anything?]
[She shouldn't have, I hid it so well, plus I'm so handsome...]
Nanako: "????"
So...
How can he speak such devout and praising words while thinking such messy thoughts?!
Let's not even mention the inexplicable confidence and narcissism...
Why are you calling the great Sacred Sovereign a stupid cat?!
So what exactly is my disciple's identity? The more I dig, the stranger it gets!
...
Half an hour later, back at their residence.
Nanako immediately picked up her quill, opened her diary, and quickly wrote down several lines.
1. Disciple is suspicious. (Confirmed)
2. Disciple is hiding his power, claiming 1/500 million of his power is second-rank mage? (Doubtful, needs investigation.)
3. Disciple's identity is extraordinary, suspected to have lived over a thousand years and bullied the Sacred Sovereign? (80% certain)
4. Disciple is a super narcissist + mysteriously confident, loves to mock his master in his mind!!! (Confirmed!!!)
5. Disciple is not possessed by evil spirits, nor is he a demon projection. (Confirmed) But possibility of other higher-ranked beings not ruled out. (Uncertain)
6. Must beat up disciple. (Added to schedule)
...
And just several hours later.
A terrifying holy aura suddenly erupted in the sky above the usually peaceful Winter Spring Valley.
Nanako rushed out of her mage tower almost immediately, and when she saw that scene in the sky, her eyes instantly revealed shocked expressions.
"This is..."
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
