I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

"I wouldn't call it guidance; I can only say your journey hasn't been smooth. The one who truly understands and appreciates your talent isn't in Korea." Geniuses always have to experience setbacks and frustrations before they meet the right person. It's a pity that such a brilliant person died tragically. Li Si was truly ruthless!

Han Fei paused for a moment, then smiled calmly, "Thank you! It's enough to have met you." Truly, a gentleman of integrity, as elegant as jade, a peerless young master.

Because they were going to a nearby town, the five of them traveled together. Han Fei was very talkative along the way. Lin Chaoyan, afraid that she would be too excited to talk nonsense after meeting a great man, chose to engage in conversation instead.

Then it was discovered that this kid had actually fainted from hunger during his travels to experience life, and had even devoured three bowls of fried rice with eggs.

"What does Miss Ayan think of Legalism?"

He could sense that the fairy beside him knew a lot, but for some reason was unwilling to say more, and the man next to her named Wen Ci would stop her from time to time.

"Legalism is suitable for the early stages of a nation's founding, but not for governing the country. Excessive rigidity leads to breakage, and things reach their extremes and then reverse. Each of the various schools of thought had its own advantages, but also significant disadvantages. Confucianism is more suitable for human survival."

Therefore, the subsequent abolition of Confucianism as the sole state ideology was only superficial; in reality, it was a product of the fusion of Confucianism on the surface and Legalism on the inside. Later Confucianism merely served the facade of governance for those in power; true Confucianism had long since disappeared.

"So Confucianism still won?" Did they abandon Confucianism only to be defeated by it?

"No! I'll tell you the answer you want to know next time you go to Qin."

"Respect for the dead is paramount; telling you won't hurt." Lin Chaoyan suddenly looked warily into the distance, and Wen Ci quickly drew his sword to wait.

"Xia Lian, come here! Stay close to me." Lin Chaoyan quickly pulled Zhao Ji over to prevent her from being caught in the crossfire if a fight broke out.

"Ayan, has something happened?" Ying Zheng cautiously approached, with three men protecting the two frail women in the middle.

Lin Chaoyan took out a sword and tossed it to Ying Zheng, saying indifferently, "Here, let me see what you've accomplished this year. Just a mere hundred bandits, don't embarrass me."

A mere hundred bandits? This is nothing? Han Fei's hand holding the sword suddenly trembled. Even if this child is a genius among men, he couldn't possibly handle a hundred people!

The bear leader said, "Brothers, I'm serious today. You have to do this properly. We'll start with politeness, then resort to force. If that doesn't work, we'll kill those bastards. Just don't hurt the fairy inside."

After saying this, Xiong Xiazi told the other brothers to lie in ambush, and then he led more than twenty underlings and swaggered over in the official's manner. The guys were unaware that Lin Chaoyan had already seen through their every word and action.

"Ah! Where are you going, young lady? It's freezing cold outside, how can you stay here? It's too dangerous! How about coming to stay at my house for a couple of days? I've come all this way to pick you up. Oh, young lady, you are truly a celestial being."

"Come, come, hurry back with your brother!" As he said this, the ugly bear's eyes darted back and forth between Zhao Ji and Lin Chaoyan. He stared at Lin Chaoyan, his eyes practically glued to her, wishing he could devour her whole. She was just too beautiful; all he could think about were lewd images.

This disgusting appearance made Lin Chaoyan's temples throb. Damn it! Ugly and disgusting, and so sleazy. I feel like throwing up my dinner from last night.

"Get out of here! You piece of trash, you're so ugly you've made my Yan Yan ugly. It's not your fault you're ugly, but it's wrong of you to come out and scare people. You ugly thing, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even deserve it? If you don't leave, I'll kill you all." "If I can't kill Ying Zheng, can't I kill you?" Wen Ci got angrier and angrier with each curse.

Upon hearing this, the bear was naturally furious, especially since what Wen Ci said was true. He immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "You son of a bitch! You don't want to live anymore! It's their good fortune that I've taken a liking to them, and you still dare to push your luck!"

The other two were also furious! But they couldn't get a word in edgewise; Wen Ci had completely won. "A good dog doesn't block the way. If you're a dog, bark a couple of times. You're not a good person, you insist on being a dog. You don't practice swordsmanship, you practice being a scoundrel. If you keep babbling, I'll twist your head off and use it as a ball..."

"Aci, stop wasting time! I don't want to spend the night in the wild." If you can take action, don't talk nonsense. Lin Chaoyan was already impatient with the argument.

"Damn it, brothers, get the hell out of here!" At Xiong Xiazi's furious command, a dark mass of people immediately leaped out from both sides of the road. They were dressed in a mess, and their weapons were a mixed bag—knives, spears, swords, clubs, axes, rakes, and hammers—and they came on menacingly.

The two sides immediately clashed. Although the bandits were incompetent, they outnumbered the enemy! This kind of attrition warfare could easily kill a normal person. Unfortunately, Wen Ci was not a normal person to begin with; he was ruthless and his attacks were all deadly, targeting vital points.

Every now and then, he would be covered in blood, his eyes bloodshot, and he would get more and more excited as he slashed. The bandits weren't stupid either. After they realized that Wen Ci was a madman, they turned their firepower towards Ying Zheng and Han Fei.

Lin Chaoyan held Zhao Ji's hand and stood quietly, occasionally pointing out Ying Zheng's sword techniques. "When facing an enemy, there's no need for morality. Go straight for the vital points. Eyes, temples, carotid artery, chop off hands, stomp feet, behead, kick groin, stab kidneys, whatever the monkey steals peaches or the immortal points the way, attack wherever the danger is greatest.

In the dead of winter, the world was covered in ice and snow, with snowflakes flying everywhere. Frost covered the windows, and the cold wind, like ice scalpels, scraped at people's bones.

She looked at the boy who was being beaten back in the wind and snow, her eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with a chilling and ruthless murderous aura, as if she was determined to turn these bandits in front of her into ashes.

"Wen Ci, come back!" Ultimately, it's not his own body that allows him to exert his full power.

Seeing that the guy was ignoring her, Lin Chaoyan pushed aside the two people blocking her way and shouted at Wen Ci, "I'll count to three!"

"Coming! Don't be angry! Getting angry will make you look like you have wrinkles!" Wen Ci immediately stepped back, realizing he was too weak and had angered his wife.

"Those who withdraw will live!" Her voice was as cold as an ice cellar, very soft, like a needle falling into the ocean, leaving no echo. It seemed to come from hell.

"Demon, demon, you are a demon! Brothers, let's kill this demoness and rid the people of this scourge!" Despite their fear, the crowd thought that the person in front of them was just a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, and they still rushed forward tremblingly.

"You truly are a case of 'Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but your own sins are unforgivable!'"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Chaoyan was enveloped in lightning before everyone's eyes. She gently raised her head, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket shot out, heading straight for the bandit leader. The surrounding wind and clouds changed drastically; the snow and wind vanished as if mountains had collapsed and the earth had split open, leaving the land in ruins, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Screams erupted all around. The bear, who had been preparing to betray its brothers and escape, was electrocuted, sparks flying and white smoke billowing from its body, yet it was still alive, howling in agony. It lost control of its bladder and bowels, and soon everyone witnessed its corpse sparking and emitting a pungent, burnt smell.

Soon all that remained at the scene was a charred corpse emitting sparks.

Lin Chaoyan glanced around, then indifferently swept her gaze over the people sprawled on the ground. "If you dare to do evil again today, this will be your fate."

"Please spare us, immortals! We'll never dare to do it again..."

"Please, immortal, spare me!..."

Lin Chaoyan and Wen Ci looked up at the sky simultaneously, where a magnificent glow shone, exuding an aura of peace. They knew who He was, and Lin Chaoyan smiled happily as she gazed at Him. What could be more joyful than a mother standing behind her child?

Suddenly, countless starlight points appeared in the sky and converged on her. Time stopped, and Lin Chaoyan found herself being embraced in an extremely warm embrace.

"Good girl, you've worked hard!" This sentence remained in her mind after the light disappeared.

Time resumed its flow, and Lin Chaoyan looked bewildered. "He is most likely the consciousness of Earth, that is, my mother." She would definitely complete the task given by her own mother, but doing so without interfering with the historical progression was proving difficult!

"Goodbye!" Everyone looked in the direction of her hand guards, but they could see nothing. The glow of the sunset had vanished, leaving only the biting cold wind and the icy snow like blades.

"What are you looking at? Let's go! If you're going to spend the night outside again, I'll beat you up." With that, he grabbed Zhao Ji and started walking forward. Lin Qi'an panicked; he had just been blocked and completely lost contact with Lin Chaoyan. Something was slipping out of his control.
