Li Tuo couldn't do it; he simply couldn't force out that demonic energy.

The Demon Prince and the Demon Elder were no match for them either; they simply couldn't apply the methods they used on Karl and Mo Hongyun to Shang Yanting.

"What about my host?"

Jia Xitong was terrified by their words and was especially worried that Shang Yanting would become a vegetable in another world. She cried and fed him the Primordial Taiyi Pill, saying, "He can't be hurt!"

This uncontrollable sorrowful sound, through the faint connection of the Primordial Taiyi Pill, reached Shang Yanting's ears in another world.

Who's crying? It sounds awful.

He opened his eyes indifferently, saw the illusory scene before him, and knew that he was having that strange dream again.

A gray, fat, furry monster with strange and ugly braids.

Its howling was like a demonic sound entering his ears. If this wasn't a dream, and it still dared to cry like that in front of him, he would crush it to death with one swipe of his hand.

So annoying.

In the original story, Shang Yanting coldly observed the scene in the illusion, seeing himself in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by a group of people comforting the noisy monster and examining his body.

He recognized most of these people.

Li Tuo, the physician of the Wanqi family, was killed by Li Tuo himself when the Wanqi family was destroyed.

The Demon Elder, the leader of the southern part of the Demon Cultivator Realm, was killed by Wan Zhi;

A junior elder at Yimeng Academy was later discovered to be the child of a demon, and was hunted down by martial arts practitioners before disappearing without a trace. It seems he went mad?

There was also a clueless young cultivator whom I had never seen before.

In an incredibly luxurious bedchamber, Shang Yanting, dressed in a long black robe, coldly observed this dream. Four completely unrelated people, some even already dead, appeared before him, even discussing how to save him—it was both laughable and absurd.

"Host, dear!"

Jia Xitong threw herself onto Shang Yanting, looking at his pale face with heartache.

After everyone around her had left, she quietly took out the wooden statue of the God of Talismans.

After the battle with Manzhi, many cracks appeared on the statue.

She touched the cracks on the statue, her lips trembling again. "Master of the Talisman God, with your divine power above, can you please save my host?"

"If you save my host, I will offer you incense and good food and drink every day."

As Jia Xitong cried, she began to make empty promises to her master, saying, "In the future, I will make the host also become your believer and use the influence of Xianlong Peak to spread your great deeds widely."

I'll build you a temple, even bigger than the one for the God of War; I'll find you followers, starting with tens of thousands. Like the followers of XX, they'll kneel and make their way to your temple, step by step.

This is an incredibly ambitious pie in the sky; I wonder if the God of Talismans can even digest it.

The system, finally unable to bear it any longer, spoke up to remind him: "[Hello, mission taker, the male cultivator in front of you is the male protagonist.]"

The male lead has a halo effect.

Even if you die, he won't die.

"Oh! Right!"

The raccoon stopped crying abruptly, tears still clinging to its fur, and then burst into laughter. "I've been here so long I almost forgot that the host is the male lead."

The crises he encounters will eventually turn into opportunities.

Jia Xitong quickly picked up the wooden statue, "Master, what I just said was thoughtless, please don't believe it."

We can't lie to our master, no matter who we lie to!

---Aside---

Babies, we'll only have one chapter today.

There are power outages everywhere in Sichuan. My house was without power all day today, and it wasn't until 10 a.m. that the power came back on. It's so hot; my temples are throbbing.

Anyway, I'll try to update three times a week from now on, but given today's situation, I might not be able to guarantee an update.

ah!

Power outages are so painful, and this weather is terrifying.
