Ten Thousand Sword Masters

A powerful expert at the Divine Power Realm appeared at the spot where Yao Xinran and the others had disappeared. He looked around but could not find any trace of them.

"Where did they go?"

"Could it be that one of them is a god? Has he entered the realm of the gods?"

Thinking of this, the expert at the Divine Power Realm flew to the depths of the sky, then shook the void, trying to capture the aura of the god, but ultimately failed to capture Zhang Jianyun's aura.

Half a day later, the expert at the Divine Power Realm sighed and his body became ethereal and disappeared.

Even after hiding in the divine realm, Yao Xinran's heart was still pounding. Only after the powerful figure left did her heart gradually calm down.

"I felt so panicked just now, I felt a fear I'd never felt before," Yao Xinran said fearfully.

"What did you sense?" Liu Dong asked worriedly.

"Evil, fear, destruction, despair." Yao Xinran said, her face turning pale and her eyes becoming lifeless.

Seeing Yao Xinran in this state, Zhang Jianyun and the others felt pity for her. It seemed that a powerful evil entity had its eye on Yao Xinran.

"Princess, let's end our travels and have Jianyun escort us back to the capital," Liu Dong said firmly.

After Liu Dong said this, the other guards felt even more sympathetic towards Yao Xinran.

Originally, with Zhang Jianyun, a demigod, everyone could cheat their way through the journey and return safely to the capital. But then, an evil expert at the Divine Power Realm appeared.

Tears welled up in Yao Xinran's eyes, and after a few soft sobs, she opened her mouth slightly and said, "Let's go back~"

"Princess, are you scared already? That expert at the Divine Power Realm won't discover my Divine Realm. You're safe here," Zhang Jianyun said earnestly. "As for outside the Divine Realm, that expert might not necessarily discover you immediately either. If we're just a little more careful, we'll definitely be able to complete our journey smoothly. The key is that you shouldn't be afraid. You haven't been captured yet, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"Aren't you worried about your safety?" Yao Xinran asked. After all, being targeted by such an evil and powerful figure meant that the days ahead would be fraught with danger. A normal person would definitely not want to continue. Even Liu Dong, a trusted guard, suggested returning to the capital. But she never expected that Zhang Jianyun would encourage her to continue her travels.

"Jianyun, at this point, we can't be blindly arrogant, or we'll die without a burial place," Liu Dong said coldly.

"Princess, you don't need to worry about my safety. I have plenty of ways to protect myself," Zhang Jianyun said confidently.

Seeing Zhang Jianyun's confident demeanor, Yao Xinran's confidence gradually returned.

After Zhang Jianyun offered a few more words of encouragement, Yao Xinran's complexion returned to normal.

"How about we continue our travels?" Yao Xinran asked Liu Dong.

Seeing Yao Xinran return to normal, Liu Dong was very relieved: "As long as you, Princess, are not afraid, we are not afraid either."

"Yes, Princess, we dared to come out with you because we were prepared to die."

"Princess, we've come this far, we should persevere."

"Princess, continue your travels. I firmly believe that you can complete your journey."

The guards were all in high spirits and wanted to continue their travels with Yao Xinran.

Seeing the guards' current state, Yao Xinran's confidence soared, and her face even turned somewhat rosy.

"Alright, let's continue our travels!" Yao Xinran said with a determined look in her eyes.

Seeing that Yao Xinran's fighting spirit was even higher than before she sensed the evil divine power realm expert, Zhang Jianyun felt a sense of relief for no reason. Perhaps this was what it felt like to accompany a girl as she grew up.

"Jianyun, from now on we can only rely on you." Yao Xinran said solemnly to Zhang Jianyun, and Liu Dong and the other guards also looked at Zhang Jianyun with expectant faces.

"Princess, everyone, please rest assured, I will do my best to protect you and help you complete this journey," Zhang Jianyun said sincerely.

"Thank you, Jianyun." Yao Xinran said her thanks calmly, her gaze towards Zhang Jianyun gentle yet filled with a hint of affection.

Feeling this sense of attachment, Zhang Jianyun inexplicably felt a sense of happiness.

As soon as this feeling of happiness appeared, Zhang Jianyun had a strong desire to hug Yao Xinran.

Just as he was trying his best to control his desire, Yao Xinran suddenly pounced on him.

"Thank you, meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me." Yao Xinran hugged Zhang Jianyun tightly.

When Yao Xinran hugged him, Zhang Jianyun felt dizzy and didn't know what to do.

Liu Dong and the others watched this scene with delight, constantly gesturing for Zhang Jianyun to also hug Yao Xinran.

Encouraged by the gazes of the guards, Zhang Jianyun slowly opened his arms and gently embraced Yao Xinran, then held her tightly in a hug.

After an unknown amount of time, the two reluctantly parted ways.

Immediately, Zhang Jianyun used his divine power to create a palace.

"From now on, this will be our palace, Nebula Palace," Zhang Jianyun said.

"What a huge palace! I'll go inside and take a look." Yao Xinran said as she rushed towards the palace and wandered around inside.

Tired from walking around, Yao Xinran pulled Zhang Jianyun into the bedroom to rest.

After washing up and getting into bed, the two took off their clothes and embraced tightly.

As their feelings deepened and they engaged in more physical contact, their emotions became increasingly intense.

Suddenly, Yao Xinran pushed Zhang Jianyun away and turned around.

"Not now. I'll give myself to you after I finish my travels and return to Kyoto, after I have my coming-of-age ceremony," Yao Xinran said shyly.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry," Zhang Jianyun said, hugging Zhang Jianyun from behind.

The two of them leaned against each other and slowly fell asleep.

In the days that followed, the two lived happily in the divine realm, completely forgetting about their journey through the world. Liu Dong and the other guards did not remind them, but instead enjoyed their happiness.

Zhang Jianyun sang a song about his past life to Yao Xinran, recounting the story of their past life, albeit with some alterations based on the present world.

"I never expected you to be so talented. If I really can't complete my travels, you shouldn't be the head of the Nine Star Guard anymore. Let's open a bookstore in Kyoto, and you can focus on writing your stories. We'll definitely live a happy and fulfilling life," Yao Xinran said wistfully.

Zhang Jianyun hugged Yao Xinran, "Don't worry, we will definitely complete our journey."

"I hope so." After being with Zhang Jianyun, Yao Xinran's desire to travel the world was not so strong anymore, and her belief in slaying all the demons and monsters in the world did not seem so firm.

A few days later, Zhang Jianyun felt that the Divine Realm was too small and not worthy of him and Yao Xinran's romantic time there. He decided that he must upgrade the Divine Realm to a Divine Kingdom in the future.

Only the Kingdom of God is worthy of him and Yao Xinran displaying their love here.

Of course, he needs to achieve success in the real world; only by succeeding can he be worthy of the title of Princess Yao Xinran.

Five days later, after Yao Xinran could no longer sense the presence of that evil powerhouse, the group left the Divine Realm and returned to the mortal world.

After reappearing in Jingxue City, the group strolled around the streets for a while before finding an inn to stay at. The next day, they traveled to the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Jingxue City.

First, we went to River Valley Town, where the small river rice produced is sold to various states and is extremely famous.

While walking on the road to River Valley Town, a spotted leopard suddenly darted out from the roadside.

The spotted leopard lunged at Yao Xinran, but Zhang Jianyun drew his sword and decapitated the leopard.

"Princess, you walk in the middle." Liu Dong said, and together with several guards, he protected Yao Xinran in the middle.

We arrived safely in Hegu Town, just in time for the town's Rice Festival, which was in full swing.

Having witnessed the bride transform into a mandrill by the Sishui River last time, Zhang Jianyun and his companions were much more cautious this time and did not join the crowd to celebrate.

People of all kinds celebrate the festival in different ways: some play drums and gongs, some walk on stilts, and some dance wearing begging masks.

The celebration lasted until evening, making for a lively day.

Next, they toured all the towns and villages surrounding Silent Snow City before heading to Storm City.

Upon arriving in Storm City, they found an inn and settled in. As soon as they settled in, Yao Xinran's heart began to pound again.

"Quick, Brother Yun, take us into the Divine Realm!" Yao Xinran shouted.

Zhang Jianyun acted immediately, instantly taking Yao Xinran, Liu Dong, and the others into the divine realm.

Just as everyone hid in the divine realm, a hand descended from the sky, grabbing the entire inn and using crystal power to seal it, isolating it from all divine power.

call out!

Then the giant hand lifted the entire inn and carried it into the depths of the void.

"Ah! What happened?"

"Oh my god, how did we end up so high in the air?"

"Father, Mother, I don't want to die!"

The people in the inn screamed in terror.

After the giant hand brought the inn to the depths of the void, a giant eye appeared. The giant eye scanned the inn but did not find Yao Xinran.

"Too late? They escaped into the Divine Realm again." The owner of the giant eye was the same Divine Power Realm expert who had appeared in Jingxue City earlier.

Finding no trace of Yao Xinran, the giant hand withdrew, and the entire inn plummeted from the sky.

"Ah, help! Help me!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Help me!"

"Wife, I'm sorry, you have to take good care of our child."

"Father, Mother, I'm sorry."

For a moment, the entire inn was filled with the wailing and howling of ghosts.

call out!

Just as the inn was about to crash to the ground, a beam of crystalline light instantly enveloped it, and then the light dragged the inn to the ground slowly.

As soon as the inn was set up, the people inside immediately fled.

At this moment, an old man in white slowly walked from afar toward the inn.

"There's an evil aura. Could it be that a powerful figure from the Left Hand of the Common People has set his sights on the Third Princess?" the white-robed elder muttered to himself.

"It seems I have to get the Third Princess first, so that she won't suffer a fate worse than death," the white-robed old man said, walking towards the street ahead.

Within the divine realm, Yao Xinran's heart pounded wildly.

"I sensed another crisis," Yao Xinran said.

"Has another powerful figure appeared?" Zhang Jianyun frowned.

"It must be, otherwise my heart wouldn't be beating so erratically," Yao Xinran said.

Everyone fell silent, awaiting Zhang Jianyun's decision.

"Let's cheat. I'll go out alone, and every time we reach a county or town, I'll let you out for a breath of fresh air, and then I'll bring you back to the divine realm. You'll just be checking in at the locations," Zhang Jianyun said.

"That's the only way," Liu Dong nodded in agreement.

So, Zhang Jianyun and Yao Xinran started frantically checking in at various locations.

In five days, they visited all the counties and towns in Yazhou; in six days, they visited all the counties and towns in Yuezhou; and in seven days, they visited all the counties and towns in Dongzhou.

After completing her journey through the divine realm, Yao Xinran felt incredibly refreshed.

"I never imagined cheating would feel so good," Yao Xinran said.

"It would have been great if everyone had cheated from the start," Liu Dong said.

"Cheating was definitely not an option at the beginning, as the public attention was too high," Yao Xinran said.

"Princess, what should we do next? Go back to Kyoto?" Liu Dong asked.

"We definitely can't go back. If we go back to Kyoto now, our travel time will be too short, and we'll be exposed immediately. So we have to wait at least a month before we can go back to Kyoto," Yao Xinran said.

"What should we do during this period? It's been a month, it's too hard to get through," Liu Dong said.

"You can play cards now. The journey is over, you can relax," I said.

"it is good."

When Yao Xinran allowed them to play cards, Liu Dong and the other guards were overjoyed.

Immediately, Liu Dong took out a deck of cards from his storage ring.

"Shall we play Texas Hold'em or Blackjack?" Liu Dong asked.

"Let's play 10:30 first," a guard said.

"Alright, let's play 10:30. Bet one tael of silver, capped at one hundred taels. I'll be the banker first," Liu Dong said, starting to shuffle the cards.

"Jianyun, come play with us." Liu Dong called out to Zhang Jianyun as he shuffled the cards.

"No, you guys have fun, I'll keep Xinran company," Zhang Jianyun said.

"You're with the princess every day, and the brothers rarely have a chance to relax. You have to spend time with the brothers," Liu Dong said.

"Go ahead, go play with them," Yao Xinran said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll play with you guys."

After Zhang Jianyun joined the gambling table, Liu Dong began dealing the cards.

One person dealt a hole card, and then asked each other in turn if they wanted to draw more cards.

When asked about Zhang Jianyun's card, Zhang Jianyun saw that the bottom card was a 3 and did not hesitate to ask for another card.

Liu Dong dealt the cards, flipping them over in front of Zhang Jianyun. It was another 3, bringing the total to 6.

"Do you want it?" Liu Dong asked.

"Yes," Zhang Jianyun said.

"it is good."

Liu Dong continued to deal cards to Zhang Jianyun. When he flipped one over, it was a 6. Zhang Jianyun's hand was now overflowing with points, exceeding 10.

"Haha, you're dead," Liu Dong said, continuing to deal cards to the next person.

The first round ended and the second round began. Seeing that Zhang Jian had only bet one tael of silver, Liu Dong said with dissatisfaction, "Jianyun, you are now practically half our host, be more generous."

"Alright, alright, I'll bet 10 taels." Zhang Jianyun said, placing 10 taels of silver as his bet.

The second round began immediately, and before long, it was Zhang Jianyun's turn again.

Zhang Jianyun's base is a J, and JQK are all counted as half a point.

"Do you want it?" Liu Dong asked.

"Yes!" Zhang Jianyun shouted.

Liu Dong dealt the cards, flipping them over in front of Zhang Jianyun; it was another Jack.

"Do you want it?" Liu Dong asked.

"Continue," Zhang Jianyun said without hesitation.

The card is dealt, then revealed; it's a 3.

My hand only has 4 points now.

"Do you still want it?" Liu Dong asked.

"want."

The card is dealt and flipped, it's a 2, now my hand has 6 points.

If he draws one last card and his hand doesn't get too full, he'll have a five-card streak, and the dealer will have to pay double.

"Should we?" Liu Dong asked, seeing that Zhang Jianyun already had four cards.

"Yes," Zhang Jianyun said without hesitation.

"You'll burst!" Liu Dong said as he dealt cards to Zhang Jianyun. He flipped the card over and saw that it was a Jack.

"Haha, five in a row, you have to pay double." Zhang Jianyun laughed as he flipped over his cards.

"What bad luck!" Liu Dong said, extremely dissatisfied. "Don't be so smug, I'll get five in a row too."

If the same hand is played, the dealer will win.

After dealing cards to everyone, it's time to deal cards to yourself.

Liu Dong immediately revealed his hand: a 10.

"No, let's compete," Liu Dong said.

"Give me the money quickly!" Zhang Jianyun shouted.

Liu Dong took out 20 taels of silver and handed it to him.

The second round ended, and the third round began, with Liu Dong continuing as the dealer.

It's Zhang Jianyun's turn again, and his hidden card is a 4.

"I want it." Before Liu Fei could speak, Zhang Jianyun directly asked for the cards.

Liu Dong dealt the cards, flipped them over, and saw it was a King.

"Continue," Zhang Jianyun continued to draw cards.

Liu Dong dealt the cards, flipped them over, and saw a 6.

"Haha, 10:30." Zhang Jianyun revealed his hole card number 4.

"Double the pay even at 10:30," Liu Dong glared at Zhang Jianyun.
