"Heavenly Punishment!"

Watching the blue-haired girl in the live stream—each step she took seemed to conjure lotuses, her voice carried the weight of heavenly edicts, and her words manifested as Spells—Nan Xi immediately said, "Don't teleport in front of this new Fairy Palace powerhouse! Don't compete with her for monsters! Find a spot far away from her to open the Space Gate!"

Originally, based on the Disaster Girl's tough battle the next day and information from the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,' they had planned to send Mr. Chuan and You Jiu to help her fight monsters. However, they hadn't anticipated this series of unexpected events. First, darkness enveloped Tokyo, turning the entire city into a battleground. Then, an extremely terrifying Fairy Palace combatant emerged!

Nan Xi knew Mr. Chuan and You Jiu were certainly not weak, but he couldn't imagine them being stronger than this girl who walked in the heavens, wielding the divine punishment of thunder!

At this point, if Mr. Chuan and You Jiu were to go, it wouldn't be helping to fight monsters; it would be kill-stealing.

And what if they got struck by lightning while fighting monsters? Of course, given the sky-girl's monster-clearing speed, it was more likely they wouldn't get a chance to steal any.

However, the sky-girl wasn't able to annihilate all the Violent Evildoers in one move; she needed to search and exterminate them batch by batch, so their mission wasn't considered a failure yet.

Moreover, Tokyo was not a small place, and the Mysterious Country had plenty of personnel there. Since Yu Kuangtu and Mr. Chuan wouldn't be able to handle it, Nan Xi, with his convenient connections, was the only one who could contact Tokyo's informants. He asked them to quickly locate ordinary Violent Evildoers and then start a live stream.

"This area is good. No robots, no giant monsters. Nearby should be just ordinary-sized Violent Evildoers."

"Don't open it on the main street; other Flourishing Sakura civilians running in could cause diplomatic issues."

"Right there, on that roof!"

Nan Xi looked at Dong Chengling and the Endless Monk. "From now on, I'm counting on you both!"

Upon hearing this, the Endless Monk sat cross-legged, fingers clasped around Buddha Beads, eyes lowered, gently mouthing silent words. A beam of golden light, appearing from nowhere, fell upon Dong Chengling, adding a touch of sanctity to her visage.

Only Dong Chengling felt the changes in her Qi Cyclone, and she couldn't help but inhale sharply.

The Spiritual Energy in her Internal, Second Ring, Third Ring, and External Qi Cyclones all violently activated!

All the dormant Spiritual Energy in the space transformed into active Spiritual Energy, available for her to command!

Dong Chengling felt nearly omnipotent at this moment, as if a mere movement could mobilize countless Spiritual Energies to assist her.

This powerful Support Magic from the Endless Monk once again upgraded her understanding of Fourth-Stage Cultivators!

So strong.

What kind of beautiful world must they see, hear, and perceive?

I must reach this realm.

Remembering someone, Dong Chengling smiled faintly. He is also striving, in his own way.

I must see an even more beautiful world... together with him.

Carrying myriad thoughts, Dong Chengling watched the live stream, her gaze locking onto the roof of a distant high-rise. She gently traced a ripple in space with her finger!

Her Space Spells normally required Spirit Energy Coordinates to target individual living beings, but to open a transport gate, she only needed a visual of the location.

Vast Spiritual Energy moved at the touch of her fingertips. Theoretically, her teleportation Spell had no distance limit. However, establishing a Space Gate to the destination required Spiritual Energy to maintain it, and the longer the distance, the more Spiritual Energy it consumed.

Previously, when opening the Space Gate from Sky Capital to Sunny Sky Street in Tokyo, they had the assistance of Spiritual Energy from the Sky Capital Base. This time, they had the help of the Endless Monk's Support Magic!

The Space Gate opened quietly and would remain open for a while. You Jiu and Mr. Chuan knew this was a race against time and crossed the Space Gate without hesitation, arriving in Tokyo from Lian River!

Unexpectedly, right after You Jiu and Mr. Chuan landed, they saw a Violent Evildoer charging towards them. Even more unexpectedly, the Disaster Girl was nearby!

In a blink, the Disaster Girl had teamed up with You Jiu's Sword Bone, slaying the Violent Evildoer who looked like a medieval adventurer.

Then, they listened to You Jiu's self-introduction and, without exception, fell into silence.

Even Nan Xi hadn't expected You Jiu to actually pick the most bizarre flirting method from the internal network. While other methods probably wouldn't have worked either, at least they wouldn't have made the atmosphere so awkward!

However, just as everyone felt the atmosphere on the roof tensing, the Disaster Girl—who had always maintained an emotionless state, facing slaughter, serious injuries, and dramatic changes without joy or sorrow, like a cold-blooded machine—suddenly curled the corners of her mouth into a shallow smile. Her small face revealed two little dimples, as if she couldn't help but be amused by You Jiu.

That smile was so pure, so sincere, her eyes curving, her face flushing.

Just as an emotionless person's smile can seem all the more beautiful and rare, the Disaster Girl, who was usually as tough as a Russian bear, suddenly showing such a girlish demeanor was exceptionally heart-stirring.

"What a beautiful girl. Only the purest heart could show such a smile," You Jiu clenched his fists, his expression incredibly determined.

At that moment, the Disaster Girl seemed quite curious. She stepped forward and tilted her head to look inside the Space Gate; the others didn't try to hide. Nan Xi said, "Dong Chengling, if she comes over…"

If she came over, what then?

Nan Xi himself was bewildered. If the Calamity's envoy from the Fairy Palace came here, what were they to do?

Fight? Lian River hadn't experienced an earthquake in nearly a century. Did they want a real 'once-in-a-century' catastrophe?

Moreover, the Mysterious Country's current Transcendent diplomatic policy prioritized maintaining good relations with the Fairy Palace. For instance, in GILIGILI's character polls, the Nine-Tailed Fox was even designated the most popular figure of the year (including among Anime Fans), all to curry favor with the frequently online Nine-Tailed Fox.

Before Nan Xi could think it through, the Disaster Girl, after glancing at the people through the Space Gate, seemed amazed by the sight. She immediately reined in her smile and ran off into the distance.

You Jiu immediately chased after her. "Wait for me!"

Mr. Chuan hesitated for a moment, then followed as well.

The Disaster Girl was probably going to hunt other Violent Evildoers; following her wasn't a bad idea. Besides, obtaining more intelligence about the Fairy Palace from the Disaster Girl was very important—no, it was even more crucial than capturing Violent Evildoers!

Compared to adventurers or Fairy Palace Assassins—the Fairy Palace 'veterans'—the Disaster Girl was just a Fairy Palace newbie. She might not be tight-lipped and could possibly reveal her experience of being reborn from bloodshed.

However… Mr. Chuan felt a bit helpless watching You Jiu eagerly tailing her like an overexcited puppy.

He himself was not good with words!

Suddenly, another Violent Evildoer, Red Cloak, appeared ahead. Red Cloak climbed onto the roof, clapped his hands together, and slammed them onto the ground. Instantly, countless earth spikes surged towards the three like a torrent.

At this point, Mr. Chuan had no choice but to act, and a confrontation on the ground was precisely his forte. He stomped his right foot heavily, and all the approaching earth spikes shattered into fragments.

"Who dares!" You Jiu roared, flicking his right hand. A streak of white light shot out, piercing Red Cloak's chest. Red Cloak swayed. Seeing his enemy upon him, he pressed his hands together, transforming his right arm into a blade, and lunged fiercely!

But his character archetype seemed to be ultimately mortal. His counterattack, while severely injured, was riddled with gaping flaws. The Disaster Girl flashed, her Greatsword, light as a cicada's wing, slicing him into a mist of blood.

The Disaster Girl turned her head, glanced at You Jiu and Mr. Chuan, and said with a smile, "Not bad."

This praise, accompanied by a smile, made You Jiu feel as if a spring breeze had caressed his face. "May I ask your name please…"

As soon as the Disaster Girl finished speaking, she ran off. You Jiu, who had wanted to follow, stopped and turned to Mr. Chuan. "We're a bit far from the Space Gate. You go complete the mission and capture the Violent Evildoers. I'll chase after her."

Mr. Chuan looked at You Jiu with some hesitation. You Jiu said, annoyed, "You can barely string a sentence together. What's the use of you following? That girl in the sky will fight her way here soon. You'd better hurry up and complete the mission."

That made sense. Mr. Chuan immediately turned to capture other Violent Evildoers, while You Jiu muttered, "Finally, no one to steal my thunder!" He then activated a Movement Spell and chased after the Disaster Girl, who was about to disappear from his sight.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Ren Suo hurriedly took the opportunity to open the upload settings and modify "Facial Synchronization" and "Flash Step Kill Voice."

"This should be enough…" Ren Suo murmured softly. He had flashed a couple of smiles just now; that should be enough to prove the effectiveness of that bizarre pick-up method, right?

The game didn't allow for such precise smile adjustments, and even if it did, Ren Suo wouldn't have been able to control it in time. Therefore, Ren Suo opened the upload settings and selected "Facial Synchronization." Then, as he lay on the sofa with a slight smile, the Disaster Girl in the game would mirror his expression.

In fact, as long as the key was 'not showing teeth' and the game character was pretty enough, any smile looked good.

And indeed, Ren Suo was smiling genuinely from the bottom of his heart!

After killing a Violent Evildoer, Ren Suo was surprised to find that his Qi Cyclone had started operating on its own!

Killing Violent Evildoers could increase his Cultivation!

Seeing that he had effortlessly gained some Cultivation, Ren Suo was naturally as happy as a vibrant elven maiden in her prime!

Gain Cultivation, or achievements?

Ren Suo quickly made his choice—of course, Cultivation!

Achievements would only get him a few more Merit Points at best; how could that compare to Cultivation?

Cultivation required time and practice, while Merit Points were earned by playing the game. It was like game Gold Coins versus real-life homework; if he could use Merit Points to buy a paper due tomorrow, Ren Suo would definitely buy it to avoid working tonight!

In this respect, Ren Suo did distinguish quite clearly between reality and the game.

However, when the Disaster Girl encountered the second monster, the Pangolin and the young man came over to help again, allowing him to complete another Flash Step kill.

Feeling his Qi Cyclone spinning rapidly, Ren Suo gave them another smile, then hurriedly searched for his next target.

The targets Ilina killed naturally didn't benefit Ren Suo, but he couldn't possibly ask Ilina to slow down now—that would be too strange. Besides, every second that passed meant more people were suffering.

Although Ren Suo was a player, he always followed a lawful path. He was characterized by integrity, kindness, sacrifice, and never taking advantage of others. Naturally, he wouldn't slow down Ilina for his own personal gain. At most, he would ask Ilina to leave him one or two minor Strange Creatures when she arrived in his area.

Moreover, Ren Suo only now realized that the so-called 'Tactical Bureau' invitation from Dong Chengling and Bai Ji astonishingly meant having them open a Space Gate and transport powerhouses from the Great Wall!

The Pangolin was a given. The young man, though a bit foolish, was powerful and certainly a member of the Great Wall.

Ren Suo didn't know what they ultimately wanted to do, but would Dong Chengling, Bai Ji, Yu Kuangtu, and Qiao Muyi come to Tokyo to fight monsters, either due to orders or curiosity?

Perhaps killing these Strange Creatures would also benefit their Cultivation, but these creatures… were not weak!

These Strange Creatures originated from various works of fiction, and it wasn't uncommon for them to include characters who looked deceptively weak but possessed overwhelming power. If such a situation arose, the four of them might not escape unscathed!

All four of them were prodigies who could steadily advance their Cultivation. They weren't like Ren Suo, who had to cultivate so "diligently."

Whether from the perspective of a friend or a bonding partner, Ren Suo was reluctant to let them face any danger.

Well, if they really joined the battle, Ren Suo hoped Dong Chengling wouldn't get a scratch, Bai Ji would be perfectly fine and unharmed, Qiao Muyi could be chased until she was terrified but ultimately escape unscathed, and as for Yu Kuangtu… as long as he didn't die, that would be fine…

No matter from which perspective, Ilina's speed in clearing Strange Creatures could not decrease. If Ren Suo wanted to gain real Cultivation by killing monsters, he had to kill more Strange Creatures before Ilina arrived!

Just then, the young man came chasing after him again—because his recitation of "I am the Sword Bone" had shocked Ren Suo so much that he hadn't remembered the young man's name. He shouted loudly, "Wait, Disaster Messenger, I wish to lend you a hand…"

Array? Suppress? Was this guy's name 'Zhen'? Do people still talk like that, using such a grandiose way to say 'I'?

But Ren Suo didn't want to fake smiles anymore; he wasn't that kind of person.

Moreover, it was best if the Disaster Girl didn't interact too much with the people from the Great Wall, or there would eventually be the trouble of exposure.

Ren Suo ignored him, controlling the Disaster Girl to rush towards the next Violent Evildoer that had run onto the roof, swinging the Melting Iron Greatsword to meet the enemy.

This Violent Evildoer was another character with a medieval mercenary appearance, wearing a Bull Horn Iron Helmet. He looked at the Disaster Girl and suddenly roared, "Fos—"

A furious airflow gathered in his mouth. Ren Suo had a bad feeling, but at that moment, a white light shot past the Disaster Girl, piercing the Violent Evildoer's mouth and interrupting his spell!

The severely injured Violent Evildoer staggered. Ren Suo didn't miss this chance, directly launching a distant slash of Molten Iron Flames, vanquishing the Violent Evildoer!

"Ah…" With another boost to his Cultivation, Ren Suo licked his lips.

The third free Cultivation gain!

"Disaster Messenger, I'm here to help you!" At that moment, the young man behind them retracted the white light and shouted, "I can accompany you to hunt Violent Evildoers, how about it? You've seen my strength, haven't you?"

Noticing the Disaster Messenger's silence, the young man's eyes darted around, and he said, "Ah, killing Violent Evildoers is your mission, right? Do you need to kill a certain number to report to the Immortal Venerate?"

The Disaster Messenger remained silent and expressionless. This made the young man even more certain of his guess, and he said, "I can help you critically wound the Violent Evildoers, letting you deliver the final blow, how about that? However, that would mean we'd have a special kind of relationship, right? I still have a lot to talk about regarding swords…"

Seeing his flirting technique showing initial success, You Jiu quickly pressed his advantage, trying to deepen his relationship with the Disaster Girl.

Watching this scene, Ren Suo was silent for a moment, then quietly opened the 'Upload Options' and selected 'Facial Synchronization.'

Today, Ren Suo was also diligently cultivating with passion, in his own unique way.
