Time-Space Stone

Jiang Yao stood opposite them, her little fists clenched tightly at her sides as she grumbled inwardly:

You want to play with her? Once she becomes a demon, let's see if you still dare to play with her. You'll only meet her with weapons drawn, fighting until one of you dies!

The expression on her face softened as she forced out a smile.

"Master told me to come find you. Master said Senior Brother is amazing and told you to teach me. Senior Brother Dong Chen, teach me!"

Seeing little Dong Chen turn his head away, Jiang Wan found it funny and pushed him out.

The tasks were all done, so what was he still doing here?

"Out, out. I'm going to cultivate."

Little Dong Chen's stubborn streak flared up again, and he stood where he was without moving.

"I'm not going out."

Jiang Yao reached out to pull him.

"Senior Brother and Junior Sister both told us to leave. Let's go!"

Dong Chen said, "I won't!"

Fairy Xueyun watched from outside in speechless silence, then vanished from where she stood and entered through the front door.

"You're all here?

Come on, I'll take you out to play."

When Jiang Wan heard that they could go out and play, her eyes instantly lit up. Go out where?

Fairy Xueyun swept her sleeve, rolling them onto a snow-white cloud.

The cloud was soft and fluffy, and Jiang Wan immediately thought of Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud.

"Mother, where are we going?"

Fairy Xueyun looked at her, reached out to stroke her twin buns, and the tenderness returned to her eyes as she said:

"We're going to look around the Cultivation World. Recently, quite a few demonic cultivators have been causing trouble. Do you know what demonic cultivators are?"

Jiang Wan's heart stirred.

Why was her mother telling her this? Could it be to instill in her from a young age the values of vanquishing demons and defending the Dao, and eradicating evil completely?

Jiang Yao sneered inwardly. She understood now. Fairy Xueyun had learned from her that Jiang Wan would become a demon, so she was telling her from childhood that demonic cultivators were bad, hoping she would know not to become one?

Heh, useless. In her previous life, she had been able to push her into the Abyssal Demon; in this life, she could push her in again. No matter what, Jiang Wan could not escape the fate of becoming a demon.

Once she became a demonic cultivator hunted and condemned by the entire Cultivation World, and slaughtered the Myriad Talisman Sect, Jiang Yao would pick up treasures behind her. Then she would carefully lay her plans and kill her before everyone's eyes.

Jiang Wan, just you wait.

Jiang Yao's thoughts took only a moment. She immediately rushed to speak first:

"I know. Mother told me that demonic cultivators are all bad people. They kill cultivators to practice their cultivation, and everyone in the entire Cultivation World has the right to execute them.

Especially us cultivators—we must all make it our duty to vanquish demons and defend the Dao!"

Jiang Wan glanced at her. Was this girl some kind of attention-seeking show-off? She had to stick her nose into everything.

She blinked her innocent, bewildered eyes and looked at Fairy Xueyun.

"Mother, is Jiang Yao right? Then I'll Exterminate Demons and Protect the 'Dao' too in the future."

Fairy Xueyun nodded, lifted her into her arms, and pointed below for her to see.

"Look over there. The one covered in black qi is a demonic cultivator.

You must remember: we and demonic cultivators cannot live under the same sky. Just as Yao'er said, they cultivate by slaughtering us cultivators. If you encounter them in the future, you must kill them and not let them harm anyone else."

Jiang Wan watched the demonic cultivator covered in black qi cut down a Qi Refining disciple, then looked blankly at her mother.

Stop talking and do something!

One of the three cultivators below had already died while they were talking.

If her mother did not act soon, the remaining two would die too.

[Detected a demonic cultivator slaughtering cultivators and using their souls to refine the Myriad Soul Banner. As the Supreme Heavenly Demon, you have never approved of cultivating through such cruel methods that harm the harmony of Heaven.

You find the demonic cultivator below displeasing to the eye. Destroy him in passing.

Task Difficulty: None.

Task Reward: Time-Space Stone.]

Jiang Wan: ...

She turned to look at her mother, then at the battle below, and shouted down:

"You evil demonic cultivator, stop! You're not allowed to hurt them!"

The people fighting below acted as though they had not heard her. Jiang Wan turned to look at her mother.

Fairy Xueyun smiled faintly, pinched her daughter's little cheek, and asked:

"Wanwan, do you want Mother to kill the demonic cultivator and save those two?"

Jiang Wan nodded like a chicken pecking grain. This was the first time since transmigrating that she had directly witnessed killing—and the demonic cultivator had split the opposing cultivator vertically in two.

Dear Mother, teaching her from childhood was all well and good, but had she really not considered what a three-year-old could handle?

As she thought this, she looked at the other two little human cubs. Both wore expressions as if nothing had happened. Was this normal?

Seeing her anxiety, Fairy Xueyun smiled lightly and flew down, landing above the heads of the three people.

Her pressure blanketed the area.

"Bold demonic cultivator! You dare slaughter Righteous Path Cultivators? Die!"

Fairy Xueyun waved her hand, and a Sword Qi condensed from frost effortlessly pierced through the demonic cultivator.

After the demonic cultivator was dealt with, the two Daoist cultivators hurriedly offered their thanks.

"Many thanks to Fairy Xueyun for saving us."

Fairy Xueyun smiled faintly.

"Originally, I did not intend to intervene. It seemed that you were capable of handling it yourselves.

It was my daughter, Jiang Wan. This little girl saw you being bullied by the demonic cultivator and anxiously asked me to act, so I did."

The two Late Qi Refining Stage cultivators immediately said, "Many thanks to Little Fairy Jiang Wan."

"Little Fairy has the heart to vanquish demons and defend the Dao at such a young age. In the future, she will surely achieve the supreme Great Dao."

Jiang Wan felt deeply embarrassed. Fellow Daoist, if you're so good at talking, say more.

She herself could barely listen to it, but Fairy Xueyun was quite pleased.

With a casual wave, she bestowed two bottles of pills upon them.

"I see that your injuries are quite severe. These are Healing Pills. Take them and consume them!"

Only then did she ride the white cloud away.

Not to mention the two who had received pills for free—even Jiang Wan had obtained a stone.

[As the Devil Lord, not only did you refrain from slaughtering the innocent, you even took the initiative to stop a demonic cultivator's rampage and kill the evil demonic cultivator to set things right.

The world's view of you is changing, and the road to clearing your name has advanced another step.

Task Complete.

Task Reward: Time-Space Stone.]

Fine, she had not acted herself, but her mother acting still counted toward her. System Bro truly was System Bro.

As they continued wandering around, they did not easily encounter any more demonic cultivators. Unless they wanted to do evil or had been driven mad by poverty, ordinary demonic cultivators would not come to this area.

On their way back, Fairy Xueyun dropped little Dong Chen off at the Myriad Sword Sect.

Then she sent Jiang Wan back to her residence, leaving Jiang Yao as the last one to be sent home.

Seeing that Fairy Xueyun was about to leave, Jiang Yao immediately called out to stop her.

"Mother, did you take us out today because of Junior Sister?

Don't worry, Mother. When we go to cultivate at the Great Myriad Sect in the future, I will definitely watch over Junior Sister and not let her become a demonic cultivator too."

Fairy Xueyun nodded with a smile.

"Good. Yaoyao is so well-behaved. Go play now, and remember, you must not tell anyone else about this."

Fairy Xueyun made Jiang Yao swear a Heart Demon Oath, promising not to tell a third person outside of them that Jiang Wan might become a demon in the future.

In her view, Jiang Yao's way of thinking could no longer be treated as that of an ordinary child. It was better to have a Heart Demon Oath restrain her.

The moment Ziyun saw her return, she promptly laid out the meal.

With a rabbit leg in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, Jiang Wan blinked at Ziyun and smiled adorably.

"Big Sister Ziyun, I heard we'll soon be going to cultivate at the Great Myriad Sect. If there aren't any of your Chicken Legs there, how am I supposed to live?

So, Big Sister Ziyun, while I'm still here, could you give me five hundred rabbit legs and five hundred Chicken Legs each? I'll put them in my Storage Bag and bring them along to eat whenever I'm hungry, okay?"

Ziyun's mind raced. Five hundred rabbit legs and five hundred chicken legs—how many rabbits and chickens was that?
