Time-Space Stone

Jiang Yao stood opposite them, her small fists clenched tightly at her side, thinking to herself:

You want to play with her? Just wait until she becomes a demon, then let's see if you still dare to play with her. You'll only end up fighting her to the death!

She forced a smile onto her face.

"Master sent me to find you. Master said you're very powerful and asked you to teach me. Senior Brother Dong Chen, please teach me!"

Jiang Wan watched as the little kid Dong Chen turned his head away and, amused, pushed him out.

The quests are all cleared, why are you still here?

"Go on, get out. I need to cultivate."

The little kid Dong Chen's stubbornness kicked in again, and he stood rooted to the spot.

"I'm not going."

Jiang Yao reached out to pull him.

"Senior Brother and Junior Sister are both telling us to go out. Let's go!"

Dong Chen: "I won't!"

Fairy Xueyun, watching from outside, was speechless. She disappeared behind the mountain and walked in through the main entrance.

"You're all here? Come on, I'll take you out to play."

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up upon hearing they could go out to play. Where are we going?

After Fairy Xueyun finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and swept 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 pat her bun, and her eyes regained their loving glow as she said:

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

Jiang Wan's heart stirred. Why is my own mother telling me this? Is it to instill in me the values of exterminating demons and protecting the Dao, and eradicating evil from a young age?

Jiang Yao, standing nearby, sneered inwardly. She understood. Fairy Xueyun knew from her that Jiang Wan would fall into demonic cultivation, so she was telling her from a young age that demonic cultivators are bad and she shouldn't become one? Heh, it's useless. In my previous life, I could push her into the demonic abyss, and I can do it again in this life. She can't escape the fate of falling into demonic cultivation.

When she becomes a demonic cultivator that the entire Cultivation World wants to hunt down, and slaughters the Myriad Talisman Sect, I'll be behind her picking up treasures, and then I'll properly plan to kill her in front of everyone.

Jiang Wan, just you wait.

Jiang Yao's thoughts only took a moment. She immediately spoke up:

"I know, Mother. You said that demonic cultivators are all bad people. They kill cultivators to practice their arts, and everyone in the Cultivation World wants to get rid of them. Especially us cultivators, we must take it as our duty to exterminate demons and protect the Dao!"

Jiang Wan glanced at her. Is this girl an attention-seeker? She's everywhere.

Blinking her innocent, dazed eyes, she looked at Fairy Xueyun.

"Mother, is Jiang Yao right? Then I'll also exterminate demons and 'feed' the Dao in the future."

Fairy Xueyun nodded, picked her up into her arms, and pointed below to show her.

"Look over there, the one covered in black energy is a demonic cultivator. You must remember, we are irreconcilable with demonic cultivators. Just as Yao'er said, they cultivate by brutally killing us cultivators. If you encounter them in the future, you must kill them and not let them harm others."

Jiang Wan looked at the demonic cultivator covered in black energy, who had just killed an Qi-refining disciple. She looked at her own mother blankly. Stop talking, why don't you make a move!

One of the three cultivators below had already died, and that was just while they were talking. If her mother didn't act soon, the remaining two would also die.

[Detected demonic cultivator slaughtering cultivators and refining the Myriad Soul Banner with their souls. As the Supreme Heavenly Demon, you do not approve of cultivating through such cruel and heaven-defying methods. You find the demonic cultivator below displeasing and will eliminate them incidentally. Quest Difficulty: None. Quest Reward: Time-Space Stone.]

Jiang Wan: "……"

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

"You evil demonic cultivator, stop! Don't hurt them!"

The people fighting below seemed not to hear her. Jiang Wan turned to look at her mother.

Fairy Xueyun smiled slightly, pinched her daughter's little face, and asked:

"Wanwan wants Mother to kill the demonic cultivator and save those two?"

Jiang Wan nodded like a pecking chick. This was her first time facing death since transmigrating, and the Demonic Cultivator had split the opposing cultivator vertically.

Oh, Mother dear, I was taught well since childhood, but couldn't you consider the emotional capacity of a three-year-old?

She thought this as she looked at the other two human cubs, who seemed completely unfazed. Is this normal?

Fairy Xueyun saw her anxiety and smiled faintly, then flew to hover above the three of them.

Her oppressive aura enveloped them.

"Bold Demonic Cultivator, how dare you kill a cultivator of the righteous path! Die!"

Fairy Xueyun waved her hand, and an ice-condensed sword energy easily pierced the Demonic Cultivator.

After dealing with the Demonic Cultivator, the two Daoist cultivators quickly offered their thanks.

"Thank you, Fairy Xueyun, for your assistance."

Fairy Xueyun smiled faintly.

"I originally didn't intend to intervene, as I saw you could handle it.

It was my daughter, Jiang Wan. This little lass saw you being bullied by the Demonic Cultivator and urged me to act, which is why I did."

The two cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining immediately said, "Thank you, little fairy Jiang Wan."

"Little fairy, at such a young age, you already possess the heart to exterminate demons and protect the Dao. You will surely achieve the Great Dao in the future."

Jiang Wan felt embarrassed. If only this Daoist friend would say more.

She herself couldn't stand it, but Fairy Xueyun seemed to be enjoying it.

She casually took out two bottles of pills and bestowed them.

"I see you are both quite injured. Take these healing pills!"

With that, she rode her white cloud and flew away.

Never mind the two who got pills for free, Jiang Wan also received a stone.

[As the Demon Lord, you not only refrain from indiscriminate killing but even actively stop demonic cultivators from causing chaos, slaying evil demonic cultivators to set a righteous example.

The public's perception of you is changing, and the path to whitewashing has progressed further.

Quest Complete.
Reward: Time-Space Stone.]

Well, I didn't act, but my mother's actions were credited to me. System Bro truly lives up to his name.

Afterward, as they wandered around, they didn't easily encounter any more Demonic Cultivators. Generally, unless they intended to do evil or were driven to desperation by poverty, Demonic Cultivators wouldn't come this way.

On the way back, Fairy Xueyun coincidentally sent young Master Dong Chen back to the Myriad Sword Sect.

She then sent Jiang Wan back to her residence, and finally, she sent Jiang Yao home.

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

"Mother, did you take us out today because of my little junior sister?

Don't worry, Mother. When I cultivate at the Great Myriad Sect in the future, I will definitely keep an eye on my little junior sister and won't let her become a Demonic Cultivator like that."

Fairy Xueyun nodded with a smile.

"Good, Yao Yao, you're so well-behaved. Go play, and remember, no one is allowed to talk about this incident afterward!"

Fairy Xueyun made Jiang Yao take a Heart Demon Oath, ensuring she wouldn't tell any third party, other than themselves, about Jiang Wan's potential future descent into demonic cultivation.

In her opinion, Jiang Yao's thinking could no longer be treated as that of an ordinary child, so a Heart Demon Oath to bind her was a good idea.

Ziyun immediately set the table upon seeing her return.

Jiang Wan, holding a rabbit leg in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, looked at Ziyun with blinking, cute eyes.

"Sister Ziyun, I heard we're going to cultivate at the Great Myriad Sect soon. If there are no chicken legs there, how will I survive!

So, Sister Ziyun, while I'm still here, can you give me five hundred rabbit legs and five hundred chicken legs? I'll put them in my Storage Bag to take with me and eat when I'm hungry, okay?"

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