Jiang Wan was surprised. Robbing all the various heavenly prodigies—was that something she could possibly do?
She talked the group of devil cultivators behind her into leaving. Seeing nothing behind her, she talked herself into it.
Oh wait, there was also Nangong Wanyu. Uh, this piece of work is going to be a devil cultivator in the future too, tsk.
"Wanwan, we aren't leaving. Let's sit down and rest!"
Nangong Wanyu's stamina wasn't even as good as hers, and she immediately sat flat on the ground at those words.
"We aren't leaving, we're resting. Let's rest for a bit."
Jiang Wan wasn't leaving either and sat down to rest. Seeing her act like this, Jiang Yao was speechless, trying to figure out just what was wrong with Jiang Wan.
"Junior Sister Wanwan, are you really not going to try to persuade him? Senior Brother Xu is your master's nephew, after all. If he loses the fight, you'll lose face too!"
Jiang Wan shot her a white-eyed glare.
"Whether he'll lose or not, I don't know, but if I beat you, I definitely won't lose."
As she spoke, she remembered that Nangong Wanyu still had a small leather whip around her waist. She hadn't experienced what it felt like to whip someone with it yet.
"Xiao Yu, lend me your whip. I'm going to give her a good thrashing. It's bound to feel exceptionally awesome!"
Nangong Wanyu hadn't put her small leather whip away last time and had just tied it around her waist. Hearing Jiang Wan ask for it, she pulled it straight off and handed it over.
With the leather whip in hand, she would whip all the green tea dogs under heaven.
"Slap!"
She really did crack a whip across Jiang Yao's body.
"Ah, it hurts so much!"
When Jiang Wan gave her a lash and felt it was pretty good, wanting to whip her again, Jiang Yao was already running away with her short little legs.
"Consider her lucky she runs fast."
[As the Supreme Heavenly Demon, not a single person in the Devil Realm dares to disobey your words. Since this matter involves the interests of devil cultivators from all sides, under your reasoning and military suppression, the major factions of the Devil Race were forced by your overbearing might to open the checkpoints.
Just a moment ago, you let a Daughter of Heaven go and did not rob her of any treasures on her person.
Congratulations on having a whitewashing heart that is extremely firm. The Heavenly Dao will eventually see your changes.
Quest completed.
Quest reward: Imprint Treasure Mirror.]
The Imprint Treasure Mirror could retrace time in images. The higher one's cultivation realm, the longer the time it could retrace. With this treasure by your side, nobody could frame you.
Good grief, I single-mindedly cultivated to the Qi Refining Third Layer just because I wanted to draw an Image Recording Talisman, thinking that if someone framed me in the future, I'd pull it out to record the image.
As a result, before she had even drawn a single talisman, the system had given her such a treasure.
"System Bro, how about I perform a split for you?"
The system gave no response...
It was fine, she and System Bro were of one heart.
Little Lu Zhiyi hadn't eaten properly before, making him even shorter than Dong Chen the Little Sword Immortal who carried a sword all day long, nor was he as tall as Liuhuo.
Jiang Wan saw him and beckoned to him.
"Come, come, sit down and have a rest. Look at how tired you are."
Hearing her say this, Lu Zhiyi simply sat down to rest first.
"Are you guys tired too?"
Nangong Wanyu: "Tired!"
Liuhuo also walked over and sat down.
"Without spiritual energy to replenish us, who wouldn't be tired?!"
Jiang Wan clicked her tongue twice.
"Look at Senior Brother Dong Chen. He's still carrying a sword and he's not even tired. He truly lives up to being a sword cultivator. Senior Brother Dong Chen, you're awesome! Keep up the hard work. We'll wait here for you to walk another circle, and then we'll all go back together."
Hey, didn't I seem to be a sword cultivator too?
Dong Chen's resolute little face was pulled tight, but upon hearing her words, a smile bloomed across it.
"Mn, wait for me. I'll be able to walk back very soon."
Jiang Wan raised both hands to cheer him on. This wave of emotional output was perfection. Little Lu Zhiyi to the side became unhappy.
"Wanwan, you didn't say that to me just now!"
Jiang Wan:...
"Uh, is that so? Oh my, Little Medical Immortal, don't be angry. I am tailoring my teaching to the... oil.
Dong Chen is a sword cultivator, and their cultivation system... well, it requires hardship and endurance. They hone a sword for ten years, or even hone a sword for a thousand years."
Jiang Wan didn't even know what she was saying. Anyway, that was how the matter stood.
"You're different. You're an alchemy cultivator. Alchemy cultivators... an alchemy cultivator's physique is also very important, but the most important thing for you is spiritual force. You can rest appropriately."
Lu Zhiyi was somewhat comforted, but he still got up to keep walking.
"I still have one circle left too."
Jiang Wan uttered an "ah": "Is that so? It's fine, Older Sister will walk with you in a moment."
Although he very much wanted Jiang Wan to walk with him, she was even younger than him. His own path had to be finished by himself, and he couldn't let himself be compared unfavorably to Senior Brother Dong Chen.
"I don't need you. I can walk by myself. You guys... can you also wait for me here, okay?"
Jiang Wan waved her hand, "Rest assured, I'll wait for you!"
Watching him walk away, Liuhuo remembered that he hadn't finished walking either, so he also got up and said:
"Then I'll be going first as well. You guys rest here."
Watching the three of them leave, Jiang Wan heard the system's voice.

Jiang Wan was overjoyed. Only the very last piece was missing to succeed—should she find someone to slash a price cut?
Before she could wait for the three little fellows to return, she first waited for Xu Hengliang, that cheap master's nephew of hers.
"Tsk tsk, look at that bruised face and swollen head of yours. Did you lose the fight?"
Xu Hengliang turned his head away, feeling it was disgraceful.
"Get lost to the side. None of your business!"
Jiang Wan: "Hey, how are you talking to your master's uncle here? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up again?"
Little fellow Xu Hengliang glared angrily.
Nangong Wanyu grabbed Jiang Wan from the side.
"Wanwan, stop talking. I feel like he's about to shatter."
Jiang Wan turned to look at her, rubbing her chubby little flushed face. The texture really felt nice.
"Xiao Yu, feeling heartache for men will bring you bad luck for a lifetime. You mustn't easily feel heartache for men in the future, you know?"
Nangong Wanyu gave a half-understanding "oh".
Jiang Wan got up and pulled her up.
"Let's go!"
Nangong Wanyu was pulled to her feet and looked toward the path behind them.
"We aren't waiting for them?"
Jiang Wan had already set off with her short little legs to keep walking.
"We're waiting. Walking while we wait, or going to the finish line to wait is the same thing. Aren't you hungry? Once we get to the finish line, there will be spiritual fruits to eat. Let's go!"
Dong Chen the Little Sword Immortal, who had walked a circle and returned, carried a greatsword a head taller than him with his hair coiled into a bun on top of his head. Seeing not a single person in the original spot, he pressed his lips tightly together and kept walking.
Liuhuo and Lu Zhiyi came back together. Upon seeing that there was nobody here, a momentary sense of loss washed over both of their hearts.
Yet Liuhuo still thought of the crucial point of the problem.
"This is the middle of the mountainside. They must have gone to the finish line to wait for us. Let's exert ourselves a bit more."
Lu Zhiyi: "Mn!"
Sure enough, when they reached the finish line, they saw Jiang Wan and Nangong Wanyu waving at them.
"Here, here, right over here! Hurry up and come over, we're waiting for you guys here."
"We even snatched spiritual fruits for you. Hurry over and eat!"
The two little fellows exchanged a glance and smiled. That's great, they really were waiting for us.
Xu Hengliang and Su Yunrou were full of resentment to the side.
"Those are our spiritual fruits."
Jiang Wan couldn't care less. Master's uncle had said the last two people to arrive late wouldn't have spiritual fruits to eat, but she hadn't said she couldn't snatch them for others.
