...
Bai Qian took a sip of the honey tea in front of her, then rested her elbow on the table, supporting her fair cheek, and looked at the information on the panel, thinking about how to deduce the next step. The demon supervisor and two demon guards had given some of the demons' lifespan.
That is roughly 150 years of a demon's lifespan. Since the demon's lifespan had already been used up, this is all that's left now.
She planned to try to deduce the advancement methods for the next four realms, but the lifespan of these demons was definitely not enough right now.
Hurried footsteps came from the doorway, and Pei Huan rushed in. Seeing Bai Qian sitting inside, he felt half of his heart shatter.
"Master?" he called out cautiously.
Bai Qian then tilted her head to look at her and straightened her body a little.
"good afternoon."
"Good afternoon." Pei Huan felt a little uneasy seeing Bai Qian's calm expression, so he sat down opposite her.
"I've been dealing with things at home and haven't been paying much attention..." He said this with a guilty conscience. No matter what the reason was, he had made Bai Qian wait for so long, and it was his fault both emotionally and logically.
Just as I was about to explain further, I saw Bai Qian take out a few sheets of Xuan paper and place them on the table.
"Help me write something." He said very seriously. Pei Huan had never seen his master Qian so serious before.
"Follow this handwriting." The rice paper was unfolded, revealing the handwriting on it.
The crooked and messy characters make it difficult to decipher their meaning.
"Is this your diary?" Pei Huan asked cautiously, judging by what might be called a unique intuition.
"Hmm." Bai Qian's tone was calm. In fact, she didn't think there was anything shameful or embarrassing about it.
Pei Huan hesitated for a moment.
"So cute," she praised sincerely.
Spread out the Xuan paper and pick up the brush next to it.
“I’ve had someone look into some things about the Four Realms,” Pei Huan continued.
Bai Qian tilted her head, somewhat surprised, as she watched Pei Huan pick up the calligraphy brush.
It wasn't for any other reason; it was simply because Pei Huan was moving too fast.
They only spent half a day back at Changcheng Mansion, and they found it in that half a day.
"Because I heard you mention it before, I sent people to look for it. However, what they found was not really any important information, just some legends and the like."
“The four realms that Miss Lingxi mentioned earlier should be related to several righteous gods of Liang Kingdom. According to the legends I obtained through my people, before becoming the mountain god of our Liang Kingdom, Baiyue Taihua Divine Lord first transformed into the Divine Court and was appointed as a guardian deity.” Pei Huan mentioned a term that Bai Qian was not familiar with.
"Huashenting?"
“Well, according to legend, some people say that He created a mountain out of thin air.” Pei Huan said, imitating Bai Qian’s handwriting with a brush.
"Could it be related to the place of worship?" Pei Huan didn't know anything about this, so he could only guess.
Bai Qian nodded upon hearing this, and looking at her Willow Shade Residence, she roughly understood.
How can we bring the place of worship into reality?
In other words...creating a world out of thin air?

I'm really messed up QAQ, I'm requesting to adjust my sleep schedule (raises hand). My sleep schedule has been completely messed up these past few days, to the point where I'm going to bed at 9 am. My condition is getting worse and worse. I still have two updates left today, so I'm requesting to update them in the afternoon.
I hope you approve this QAQ
Love you all???
Volume 1: 229. Those who don't believe in Bai Qian shouldn't exist.
"I looked into Taiheng City when I came back. I heard that there was a famine there before, and many people died. It seems that the city is under lockdown now." Pei Huan was still talking to Bai Qian.
As the local power in Changcheng Prefecture, the Pei family was well-versed in many things. In addition to matters within Changcheng Prefecture, they also had a good understanding of matters in Changhe County and even beyond, such as Taiheng City.
Taiheng City is considered to be within the territory of Changhe County, but it can also be said to belong to Linghuan County. After all, due to its special geographical location, it can be said to be an area jointly managed by the two counties.
After discussing the rumors about the Four Realms with Bai Qian, she answered Bai Qian's questions without even having to think much when Bai Qian mentioned Taiheng City.
It's also because of Taiheng City's special location; it's a city the Chamber of Commerce frequently passes through, so she's able to learn about any problems that arise in this city.
"Over there, the Lotus Sect has already captured the city. All the government officials have been killed. In addition, there was a famine recently. I don't know how many people are left in the whole city." She sighed and finished writing the last few words in her diary.
"The Lotus Blossom Sect might intervene." Pei Huan himself wasn't sure what he meant by "intervene." Based on what he had seen in Fanghuang Village, who knew how the Lotus Blossom Sect planned to intervene?
He put down the brush he was holding and looked at the diary on the rice paper in front of him. It was a bit difficult to imitate the crooked handwriting, but after all, it was Bai Qian's instruction, so he had to complete it perfectly and not disappoint Master Qian.
"I've been there a few times before, and I remember that the leaves of the unique Hengshu tree there are edible and taste pretty good." But now, who knows what it's like? Under the famine, most people can't escape it.
For ordinary people, war and famine may be worse than demons and monsters.
As for the Hundred Demon Pavilion that Bai Qian mentioned, she really didn't know what it was.
Bai Qian nodded upon hearing this, gazing at the [Furnace Core] on the panel as she considered the next construction.
The matter concerning Taiheng City, though important, is not the main point, just as Bai Yao said.
What's the situation in Taiheng City? Are the Hundred Demon Pavilion or the Lotus Life Sect setting up some kind of trap, and how many demons have they deployed...?
She doesn't care.
If she cares about these things, it only shows that she is not strong enough.
When you are strong enough, you will say they deserve to die.
They must die.
Therefore, what we need to focus on now is advancing to the fourth realm.
If Pei Huan's idea is correct, then to advance to the fourth realm, one must construct a world and then create it out of thin air.
The places where deities offer incense are real, but they do not exist in this world, just like two parallel lines that are parallel but do not intersect.
The key to the four realms is to make these two lines intersect.
How to turn the Liuyin Mansion from a mere shell into a real entity?
To be honest, Bai Qian still doesn't understand what the Willow Shade Mansion is for, and she has no clue how to make it real.
"Where are you going next?" Pei Huan asked hesitantly.
They must know Bai Qian very well to know that she didn't ask this question casually.
Bai Qian nodded, without denying it.
"Then shall I come with you?"
Bai Qian pondered for a moment after hearing this before shaking her head.
"No need, Bai Yao and I will go. It should be quick, just a day or two. I'll trouble you to write this down." He was referring to the diary.
"Write a few more articles." If you write a few hundred, you won't need to write any more.
“Hmm.” Pei Huan nodded, offering no objection.
However, her gaze still lingered for a moment, and she coughed softly as she looked at the girl's beautiful face.
"I have something else to say," she said softly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qian shifted her gaze from the still-steaming fried fish that had just been placed on the table and looked at Pei Huan with a puzzled expression.
"The shoes I bought for you before, do they fit you well?" she asked.
Bai Qian nodded without objecting, although she didn't really feel anything about it, feeling that it didn't matter what she wore.
"How about we try some others? It's inconvenient to change if we only have one pair." Seeing Bai Qian nod, Pei Huan felt more confident. Although he was still a little guilty, he finally dared to speak up.
With eight parts consideration, two parts guilt, and ninety parts lust.
Bai Qian carefully picked up a piece of fried dried fish and put it in her mouth. The crispy texture and slightly salty taste were refreshing and delicious.
"Hmm." She picked up another piece of fried dried fish and did not object to Pei Huan's suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Pei Huan blinked slightly and then picked up two pairs of shoes from the side: a pair of gray leather ankle boots and a pair of black cloth shoes.
"Shall I help you try it on?" This reveals her true intentions.
Seeing that Bai Qian did not refuse, he let Bai Qian sit on the chair and slowly squatted down in front of her, carefully taking off the girl's shoes.
Wearing pristine white stockings, her snow-white feet slipped out of her shoes, revealing a hint of alluring flesh beneath. Holding this jade-like foot, one could see her adorable toes wiggling slightly restlessly.
I am very satisfied.
This was Pei Huan's only thought.
In this world, there is probably nothing more blissful than the scene before you; the only thing that could be more blissful is being trampled under these feet.
Bai Qian glanced at Pei Huan, who was holding her foot and remaining motionless, and gently wiggled her foot to urge him to hurry up.
Pei Huan's heart was beating a little fast. He reluctantly helped Bai Qian put on her short boots, watching her taut arches step into the boots.
The white socks and gray boots don't quite match; perhaps I should change my clothes.
After changing her boots, Bai Qian stepped on the ground a couple of times to make sure they fit before sitting back down in the chair.
Pei Huan wanted to change into another pair of shoes, but seeing Bai Qian's actions, he could only regretfully abandon the idea.
Regardless, I have made progress; at least I don't have to cover my nose anymore.
"When are you going to Taiheng's place?" Pei Huan asked, sitting down opposite Bai Qian again and watching her absentmindedly popping pieces of dried fish into her mouth.
She has some ideas now, which she came up with while she was dealing with those files and ledgers in the study, but she's not quite sure yet.
"Tomorrow?" Bai Qian wasn't sure either.
If I go to Taiheng, I will go with Bai Yao, because it's about the Hundred Demon Pavilion, and Bai Yao is quite concerned about it.
“I see…” Pei Huan pondered for a moment upon hearing this.
The idea that came to her in the study was very simple.
She had a similar idea when she was in Bai Fengcheng, but because Bai Fengcheng was too young and they were about to leave, she didn't pay attention to it.
But now it's Changcheng Prefecture.
As for her plans... she hopes to start them in the next few days if possible.
Specifically, if Bai Qian weren't in Bai Fengcheng, probably no one in the entire city would be able to escape.
If Bai Qian hadn't intervened, the Qinglang Gang alone would have been enough to bring disaster to most of the people in Changcheng Prefecture.
And since it is under these circumstances...
This is something I've been thinking about for a while now.
They should be following Master Asahi's will, right?
In other words.
Those who don't believe in Bai Qian shouldn't exist.

I still managed to write a slice-of-life chapter before going to sleep. After finishing, my head felt so dizzy I felt like I was going to die. After adjusting my sleep schedule, I probably won't update at this time anymore. The two afternoon updates are still on track, although the author's afternoon updates might be a little later 〒▽〒
Please continue reading, love you all!
Volume 1: 230. What are you running for?
In the cold and somewhat dilapidated temple, several dog demons huddled together. The temple was rather cramped, but for them, there was no other way to hide now.
Before the Qinglang Gang existed, they were considered particularly arrogant. The Qinglang Gang wouldn't bother with them, and the government officials were even less likely to interfere. It was said that the emperor sitting in the Liang Palace in Liangdu was a demon, and the government officials had no power to restrain demons.
Back then, they would capture people, eat their flesh and drink their blood, and have a great time.
But things changed after the Qinglang Gang collapsed and Qinglang died.
Although less than three days have passed, they are now only huddled in this small temple, afraid that they will disappear without a trace once they go out.
The demons that used to roam freely in the streets at night are nowhere to be seen now.
Everyone was terrified. Qinglang was dead, he died by the city wall, let alone them. To these demons, Changcheng Mansion was just like the man-eating cave was to ordinary people.
There are still some demons left in Changcheng Prefecture, but who knows when even they will all be gone.
