While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

As a result, he followed the direction indicated by the compass all the way to the lakeside, but still couldn't reach the destination.

This means that the secret manual is not actually in Mantuo Manor.

"That direction leads to Western Xia. It seems only Li Qiushui has the credit for this."

Jiang Sishui frowned.

This makes it even more difficult and troublesome for him to obtain the "Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique".

Without the sacred text, his ascension to the Celestial Realm would inevitably be delayed.

However, Jiang Sishui was prepared for this and was not helpless.

Aside from the system's unstable rewards, he devised three methods to advance to the Celestial Realm.

First, relying on his extraordinary talent, supplemented by "Ten Directions Annihilation", and based on "Northern Darkness Divine Art", he created a sacred scripture.

Secondly, wait for Zhu Wushi to send over the "Absorption Technique" and the "Indestructible Vajra Holy Skill".

Third, go to Jinzhou.

In a few days, he will set off to the northwest to retrieve the "He Shi Bi" and the "Eight Dragon Pearls" according to the compass, and complete the system side quest. He will mostly pass through Jinzhou on the way.

There, two unparalleled martial arts techniques might be hidden—the "Buddha's Palm" and the "Heavenly Crippled Kick"!

Although he didn't know the exact location where the two secret manuals were hidden, with the "Object Finding Compass" in hand, as long as it was still there, finding them wouldn't be difficult.

Even if someone else gets there first, he can still snatch it away.

Of course, the best outcome would be to have all three, then that day would be within reach!

"Northwest direction... these 'He Shi Bi' and 'Eight Dragon Balls' should be from 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty' and 'Dragon Balls of the Demon World' respectively, right?"

"If the original plot hasn't changed much, then I'll have to go to Jingnian Temple and Qilian Mountain."

Jiang Sishui silently planned her next steps.

As for these next few days, I'll spend some time with the women and get to know them better.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to spend some time, gain more system rewards, and continuously improve himself.

Although the system says that there will be generous rewards for completing every task, big or small, no one can guarantee what changes might occur after completing the task.

Therefore, it is essential to appropriately delay the progress of tasks and give yourself time to grow and become stronger.

At least in Jiang Sishui's plan, he would achieve the status of a celestial being before reaching the Kunlun Secret Realm!

145 Isn't this supposed to be a hero saving a damsel in distress? Did I get the wrong script?

When Jiang Sishui saw Huang Rong and Bai Feifei again, it was already night.

Seeing the two women chatting and laughing, he felt something was off, as if the atmosphere was subtly changing.

However, the fact that they could get along harmoniously was obviously a good thing for him, so after he couldn't figure it out, he stopped worrying about it.

In the following days, while accompanying the women and contemplating the "annihilation of all ten directions," Jiang Sishui also did a few things.

He first leveled the flower forest stained with human blood, dug three feet into the ground, discarding even the soil underneath, and then used the "water-controlling beads" to push the fertile soil from the bottom of the lake to fill it in.

He then sent the servants of Manteau Manor out to purchase various flower seeds.

After the plantation was completed, Mantuo Villa began laying off staff.

The criteria for layoffs are quite simple: older people and those who are not good-looking are all rejected.

Of course, there are some special cases, such as those who are homeless and unable to protect themselves, those with pitiful backgrounds, and those who have a deep connection with Mantuo Manor...

Jiang Sishui did not force these people to leave, but instead arranged for them to stay on a smaller island nearby, where they were also under the protection of Mantuo Manor.

Those who left each received a generous severance package.

In short, those who want to leave can leave, and those who want to stay can stay. Let's part ways amicably.

He then handed over the "Ten Directions Annihilation" and the Spirit-Binding Formation to Huang Rong, letting this all-rounder study and figure them out on her own.

The "Water Control Pearl" was given to Bai Feifei so that she could guard Mantuo Manor.

In fact, with the "water-controlling pearl" in place, Mantuo Villa, located deep in Taihu Lake, is as solid as a rock. Even if the heavenly beings launch a direct attack, they will be defeated and even suffer heavy losses!

But the Celestials aren't fools; they might launch a sneak attack, and the people on the island might not be able to stay on guard against every little thing and leave no trace.

Therefore, it is essential to set up a large array on the outer perimeter as a buffer.

Once the grand formation is complete, combined with the "Water Control Pearl," even celestial beings will have to kneel before it!

As for demigods... forget it, after all, martial artists at that level can already separate their primordial spirit from their bodies.

After doing all this, on the twenty-fifth day of writing her diary, Jiang Sishui teleported away from Taihu Lake with Wang Yuyan.

Heading northwest.

He planned to travel during the day and return to Mantuo Villa at sunset.

When he was out, he would take turns accompanying the women; when he returned home at night, he would either take back the "Ten Directions Annihilation" to contemplate or indulge in the pleasures of love.

Allocate time properly so that neither is neglected.

……

On the forest path, Jiang Sishui and Wang Yuyan rode together on one horse.

Leaving the bustling area, the surrounding woods are lush and green.

Jiang Sishui rested her chin on Wang Yuyan's shoulder, their cheeks touching, chatting and laughing all the way.

There were no unnecessary movements; they simply embraced each other gently, and there was a sense of harmony and beauty in it all.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats broke the sweet atmosphere between the two.

The hoofbeats grew louder and closer, and judging by the sound, they were clearly coming from their direction.

However, Jiang Sishui's "cicada sense" was not activated, indicating that the other party was most likely just passing by.

Although Jiang Sishui was somewhat displeased that his mood had been ruined, he was not so arrogant as to take his anger out on a passerby. After all, the road was right there, and anyone could walk on it.

Just as he was about to let the other party pass, a rider galloping towards him made him pause in surprise.

"These eyes..."

The newcomer was dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat and a black veil, making it impossible to see his face.

But judging from her exquisite and graceful figure, she is clearly a woman.

Moreover, those exposed eyes were very beautiful; they weren't large, but they seemed to hold a myriad of emotions.

Looking into her eyes, you feel as if she has a thousand words to tell you.

Her eyes were clearly persistent and resolute, yet they also inadvertently revealed a hint of charm and allure, as well as a touch of fragility and sorrow.

She is absolutely stunning!

"Lin Shiyin?"

Jiang Sishui was very familiar with those eyes, and a name immediately popped into her mind.

But then he immediately rejected the idea: "No, the temperament is wrong! Lin Shiyin doesn't have that kind of heroic and valiant chivalrous demeanor, so who is she?"

Jiang Sishui couldn't remember for a moment, but he no longer intended to stand idly by.

At this moment, a group of people, some on horseback and others using their light-footed skills, chased after the woman in black.

One of the men, dressed in a dark green robe, vanished into thin air and reappeared with one foot on the horse's head.

With a sudden, powerful impact, the horse, which had been charging forward, could not withstand the pressure and knelt down.

Caught off guard, the woman in black on horseback was thrown off by inertia.

Requesting flowers (or flowers)

"Japanese ninjutsu?"

Wang Yuyan was startled when she saw the green-robed man's figure appear and disappear like a ghost.

"No, but they are mostly based on similar principles."

Jiang Sishui narrowed her eyes slightly.

Seeing the man in green robes reach out to grab the woman in black, he casually broke off a tree branch and threw it forward!

With the infusion of true energy, the tree branch shot out like a sharp arrow.

The man in the green robe sensed something, and goosebumps rose on his outstretched arm. He quickly withdrew his hand and turned his head, barely dodging the attack.

But he was still a step too slow, and a bloody scratch appeared on his left cheek.

Jiang Sishui had already leaped up and caught the woman in black.

... . ...

As soon as the two landed, the woman in black seemed to be electrocuted, immediately breaking free from Jiang Sishui's embrace and slapping him across the face!

Jiang Sishui was taken aback.

what happened?

Why did she hit me?
