A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Joan of Arc: Then I'll go to the square first and see if I can find someone to ask where this place is and what year it is.

Xiao Huohuo: I’ll go too.

Han Buli: +1.

Romeo: +1.

KP: So, seeing that there seemed to be no danger outside, the three of you, each taller than the other, followed behind Joan of Arc, just like "little" chicks following the hen. With the huge difference in height, the scene looked very funny.

Joan of Arc: Damn it! Get out of here! (half annoyed)

Xiao Huohuo: To be honest, it was KP who took the initiative.

KP: Exiting the alley, you arrive at the square, which appears to be a small market. Around a hundred people are bustling about, mostly civilians dressed in sackcloth. Beyond that, you see a dozen or so small stalls selling mushrooms, roots, and various handmade household items. Perhaps from living underground for so long, the people here have pale complexions, sunken eyes, and an air of unhealthiness.

Stall Owner A: Ground mushrooms, selling ground mushrooms, fresh ground mushrooms, only five cents a bag.

Stall Owner B: Dried rat, freshly pickled, ten cents a bag.

Stallholder C: Earth Dragon Powder, 15 cents a bag... Hey hey hey! Don't touch it if you don't want to buy it!

KP: You just listen, and as long as one person succeeds, that's enough.

Xiao Huohuo: Listening, 13/30, success.

Xiao Huohuo: Humph~you can handle it.

Han Buli: It's not easy. You two crayfish brothers and sisters are so strong that I don't even need to show up. (Tears)

KP: So, in the market, Xiao Huohuo, you listened to all directions and heard a lot of information.

Passerby A: Oh, food has been getting more and more expensive recently. Just the other day, the ground mushrooms were only three coins.

Passerby B: Yes, I don’t know when the Imperial Master will show us mercy again, otherwise we really can’t live like this.

Passerby C: What are you talking about! The Imperial Master has been working so hard to defend our capital from the invasion of those evil demons. How could you be so selfish?

Passerby B: I, of course I know... Well, I was just saying it casually.

Passerby A: Well, let's be content. We can live like this now, thanks to the Imperial Master.

Xiao Huohuo: (pinches nose) Imperial Master?

Han Buli: Underground city, invasion of evil spirits, imperial preceptor, favor, defending the city... Well, if there is something wrong with the world we traveled to, then it is most likely that there is something wrong with this imperial preceptor.

Romeo: Reasonable.

Joan of Arc: Why bother with so much? I'll first find someone to ask where this place is and what year it is.

Passerby A: This is Tianmu City, and it's the 514th year of the Wuji calendar... Who are you? How come you don't even know this? And your clothes are so strange.

Xiao Huohuo: Tianmucheng Time, dog KP is playing a pun again. (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: And this Wujili also has a bit of a stinky smell. (Pinching nose)

KP: (half annoyed) You were suddenly stopped by Joan of Arc. The passerby looked at you in confusion, and other people around you also noticed your presence one after another. After all, compared to those sub-healthy citizens wearing coarse rags in the square, you were wearing the white robes of Chengtian Sect, full of energy and outstanding temperament, which was really too conspicuous.

Joan of Arc: We are disciples of Chengtian Sect and come from outside.

Passerby A: Chengtian Sect? Never heard of it... Wait, you said you're from outside?!

Passerby B: What?! From outside?!

KP: After a brief silence, as if a stone stirred up a thousand ripples, passers-by screamed in fear one after another. The originally peaceful atmosphere in the square instantly fell into panic. The crowd retreated like a tide, and hundreds of eyes were staring at you, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Xiao Huohuo:?

Passerby B: The Imperial Master said that there are no living people out there now!

Passerby C: It’s the evil demon. It must be the evil demon that disguised itself as a human and sneaked into the city, wanting to kill us!

Passerby Ding: Quick, go and inform the Imperial Master!

Han Buli: Okay, now we know who the BOSS is.

Romeo: I think it can still be rescued. I want to tell these citizens that we in the Chengtian Sect are all upright monks who slay demons and eliminate evil. We have a great conscience and will never take a single needle or thread from the people. Don't be afraid.

KP: (Shaking his head) It's no use. The citizens, who were already in a panic, became even more frightened after seeing your terrifying figure of over two meters tall, Romeo.

Romeo:?

Passerby A: This, this is not a human being at all!

Passerby B: Quack! He must be the most powerful demon! He's going to devour us all! Let's run!

KP: In less than half a minute, the hundred or so people in the square scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the four of you standing there, looking at each other in confusion.

Joan of Arc: (pinches nose) Why are all the places I come to so xenophobic?

Xiao Huohuo: I think he was mainly scared away by Lao Luo.

Romeo: Oh, oh, oh. (feeling wronged)

Han Buli: Okay, don't overthink it. Now that things have come to this, let's just collect the spoils. KP: I'm going to search the square for things. They ran so fast just now, they must have left behind a lot of mushrooms, meat, etc.

KP:?

Xiao Huohuo: No way, Old Han, you are so cruel as to do this.

Han Buli: Why not pick up something that's given away for free? Wealth is accumulated bit by bit, and you, a prodigal son, are the only one who doesn't know how to cherish it! (Pointing)

Xiao Huohuo:6.

Romeo: That makes sense. Old Han, I’ll help you pick it up too.

KP: B's roof is under the table... Well, you're just lucky.

Han Buli: Lucky, 69/70, successful.

韩不立获得地蘑×3（回复1MP），老鼠干×3（回复1HP），地龙散×1（回复1HP／MP）。

KP: So, just as you were busy looting the scattered items in the square, a clear and childish voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Hey, big brother over there, are you really a demon?"

Chapter 155: Sand (Sand of Time Part 3)

KP: Suddenly, a somewhat childish voice rang out. You all turned to look at the source, realizing it was a little girl—about ten years old, with delicate and lovely features. She was dressed in a sophisticated black dress, her silky silver hair draped over her shoulders, revealing skin of startling whiteness. But unlike the sickly pallor of the other citizens, her whiteness held a gentle luster, like a flawless pearl, gleaming in the starlight.

KP: At this moment, she is standing at the edge of the square, looking at you with her head tilted, her innocent and bright blue eyes full of curiosity.

Romeo: Quack! It's the white-haired girl. We are saved!

Joan of Arc: Get out of here, Lao Luo! Don't scare such a cute little sister. Let me do it!

Xiao Huohuo: (pinches nose) ...Old Han.

Han Buli:?, I have a danger sense.

Han Buli: Danger perception, 87/50, failed.

Han Buli: Tsk, let’s observe for a while longer!

Han Buli: Observation, 57/50, failure.

Han Buli: Hiss... There is not a single flaw on this boy's body, he is so terrifying!

Xiao Huohuo: Don’t panic, I’ll make another observation.

Xiao Huohuo: Observation, 99/50, big failure!

Xiao Huohuo: Quack?!

Jeanne: You guys are such a loser. So what are you doing?

KP: ...Maybe they're afraid you'll get the boss again, so they're testing you like crazy. (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: Music.

Xiao Huohuo: You still have the nerve to laugh, you little sister? You've already learned from Xiaocao's experience. You don't have a good memory, do you? (half annoyed)

Jeanne: What do you know? You can rub Xiaocao as much as you want before she transforms! If this little sister is the BOSS, if you don't rub her now, you won't be able to rub her once she reveals her true form!

Xiao Huohuo:?

Romeo: Reasonable.

KP: So, out of subconscious vigilance, Xiao Huohuo widened his eyes, trying to find a flaw in the little girl. But unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew some irritating dust into your eyes, causing them to sting. You blinked frantically, tears streaming down your face.

KP: Xiao Huohuo loses [1d3] HP.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn!

萧火火HP:55-【1d3:2】=53。

Joan of Arc: No made No Die belongs to yes.

Xiao Huohuo: So, is there anything wrong with this little sister? Since I'm so pitiful, can KP reveal a little bit? (Tears)

KP: Well...I wonder if there is one. (Pinching nose)

Jeanne: Don't even think about it, my little brother, there's a high probability that it will be fine. The main reason is that Xiaocao has already used this setting before, and it's not certain that the dog KP will use it again in this dungeon. That job is too bad, who would buy it?

Han Buli: Indeed.

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, okay, it’s a realistic argument, right? This makes sense.

KP: (half annoyed) Byd is super active again! Believe it or not, I'll change the script right away, Kora!

Jeanne: What super tour? This is my intuition! (Hands on hips)

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, now I understand.

KP: (annoyed) Damn troublemakers!

Little girl: Big brother, are you the evil demon from outside?

KP: Seeing that none of you spoke, the little girl continued to ask questions. For some reason, she seemed particularly interested in the tall and strong Romeo.

Xiao Huohuo: The child is ignorant. (Sad)

Romeo: Hmm~ You're right to be ignorant. I want to tell you, little sister, I'm not some alien demon, but an alien succubus~ This time, I came here to steal your heart teeth~?

Xiao Huohuo: Damn Lao Luo, you can do this to a ten-year-old!

Romeo: Wrong! No matter their age, height, weight, wealth, beauty or ugliness, we must treat them all equally and show them pure love. This is the most basic respect a gentleman should show to a woman! ...Oh, except for Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc: ???

Han Buli: Music.

Joan of Arc: Don't laugh! I'm going to give this alien creature a sword first!

KP: So, watching you guys "teasing each other", the little girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Little girl: Haha, you guys are so weird, but also so interesting.

Xiao Huohuo: Little sister, aren’t you afraid of us?

Little girl: (tilts head) Why should I be afraid?

Han Buli: Because we came from outside. Look at those people just now, weren't they all shouting about outsiders and evil spirits and running away in fear?

KP: Hearing this, the little girl didn't think twice.

Little girl: Because I can see that you have no ill will towards me.

Xiao Huohuo: Is this something that can be seen?

Han Buli: You can only judge a person by his appearance, but not by his heart. Little sister, if you look like this, Lao Luo will trick you into going to the small room. (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: He dares!

KP: Facing your questioning, the little girl pouted, seeming a little unconvinced.

Little girl: But I can tell. Just like you (pointing at Xiao Huohuo), although you look a bit carefree on the outside, you are actually a very delicate and sensitive person on the inside.

Xiao Huohuo:...Ah?

Little girl: And you (pointing to Han Buli), although you look timid, you are actually not lacking in courage and action. You are the kind of person who can scare people at critical moments.

Han Buli: ...

Little girl: And you (pointing to Joan of Arc), although you are small, you have great energy.

Joan of Arc:?
