Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

The water and moonlight look quite soothing.

His gaze shifted slightly, landing on a corner where several huge rocks lay lying, their presence obstructing the ripples of the water.

"Sit down for a while."

He strolled over, about to jump onto the boulder.

The clear water beneath their feet, which had been reflecting the full moon, suddenly changed.

The stars and moonlight diffused, replacing them with human silhouettes.

However, Bai Yan did not stop in time, and did not even notice the subtle change under his feet.

He stepped directly onto it, hitting one of the silhouettes.

Without bowing his head, he simply jumped onto the boulder, turned around, and prepared to sit down.

Just as he turned around, a figure suddenly appeared, almost startling him so much that he lost his footing and fell off the boulder.

The figure was a woman, not tall, slender, with white hair.

What Bai Yan found most unbelievable was that her eyes were covered with a black cloth.

"...Mirror Flow?!"

"No way, where did this place get me?!"

While Bai Yan was still in shock, Jing Liu turned her head to face him and stood still without moving.

The two, one tall and one short, simply stared at each other.

About a minute later, Jingliu spoke first, his expression surprisingly solemn.

"Is this your territory, little sister?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan subconsciously looked down at himself.

She didn't change her skirt.

She tilted her head slightly, and her earrings swayed gently, reflecting the cool moonlight and shining brightly.

He immediately broke out in a sweat.

How did Jingliu get in? Is this place not just for me, but some kind of special public space?

Hmm... a hyperdimensional space that can connect all realms?

This thought flashed through Bai Yan's mind, because what troubled him even more was how to face Jing Liu.

First impressions are very important.

If you know your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Bai Yan glanced at Jing Liu and immediately realized that the other party was facing him with a guarded attitude.

There was even a sense of apprehension?

Emperor Bow Seven Heavenly Generals Jing Yuan's mentor, one of the former Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, and the former Sword Master of Hu Lei who once captured Hu Lei alive on the Luofu Immortal Ship, would he not be able to see through the true nature of someone like me, whose combat power is not even at the level of chicken feed?

Pretending to be profound is pointless; the other party is a genuine ancient monster, whose acting skills can be seen through at a glance.

Therefore, the first level should be chosen: be honest but not completely open.

Bai Yan quickly and gently jumped off the boulder, being careful not to splash too much water.

He spoke in a female voice only after reaching the same altitude as Jingliu.

"Hello, my name is Bai Yan. Actually... I was just testing my abilities, I didn't expect to accidentally drag you into this, I'm so sorry!"

Bai Yan bowed deeply, but when he looked up, he noticed that Jing Liu seemed a little distracted.

Moreover, her blindfold had been removed, and she was staring intently at the blindfold in her hand.

After a while, she looked up at Bai Yan.

"Ability..."

"It will probably recover in about ten minutes—it will end when the time is up, I'm not very skilled at it."

There was no need to hide anything; if she didn't put the other party at ease, she could use her blindfold as a weapon to restart herself ten times over.

"It doesn't matter."

Jingliu lowered the hand holding the blindfold, stared at Bai Yan, and then walked over step by step.

It stopped seven steps in front of Bai Yan.

"I want to know, will you be able to bring me into this space again next time?"

She seemed very calm at the moment, which was quite different from what Bai Yan had expected, that she was possessed by demonic forces.

But he didn't dare ask, he just closed his eyes and quietly felt it.

"How is it?" Bai Yan asked immediately when he opened his eyes.

"Sure—uh, would you like to come again next time?"

No way! I'm still just a weed in the fishpond, how am I supposed to live with the tyrants of the ocean?

However, Kagami nodded.

In exchange, you can propose an equivalent condition.

Her face was calm, but her heart, which had been filled with bitterness for a thousand years, was now stirred.

Your own intuition is never wrong.

From the moment it entered, the demonic entity fell completely silent...

Why does Kagami want to come back later?

Well, this beauty who has lived for over a thousand years says she still wants more...

agreed!

"You can stay, as for the conditions..."

Bai Yan paused.

What can Mirror Flow give me?

Based on my current intuition, I don't think I can bring it back to my own world. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful to just cling to its coattails?

However, since Jingliu is so strong, if I could get her to teach me even a move or two and then keep it hidden, I would have another trump card in the future.

The trump card hidden from everyone's sight in the Honkai world.

I'm pondering which path to take... Hunting isn't for me, and I can't turn to destruction.

Storage is an option, but it's simply not suitable for my personality.

Taking advantage of Bai Yan's silence, Jing Liu suppressed a certain impulse, looked him over, and made some guesses.

"She seemed completely unaware. Perhaps even if she had, I wouldn't have had the chance to get in... It's all fate."

What kind of requests will be made?

Bai Yan hesitated for a long time before speaking: "First of all, I'm sorry, I must correct a misunderstanding."

"Ok?"

He switched to a male voice and said, "Actually, I am a man. I was forced to disguise myself like this to carry out a mission, so I am very sorry."

"..."

Jingliu was stunned.

She stared at Bai Yanzai closely, and even after a long time, she still felt a sense of disbelief.

With her experience, she could tell how much talent Bai Yan had in martial arts with just one glance.

Although I haven't formally studied physiognomy, my years of experience have made me quite accurate in judging people.

But this time, the only thing I couldn't tell was the gender of the person in front of me.

After a minute of hard-controlled mirroring, she shook her head: "Unbelievable..."

"Ahem," Bai Yan tried to cover up his embarrassment, "I mean, do you know any martial arts or other combat skills? Could you teach me a little? The kind that helps me save my life."

Jingliu sighed, ignoring the brief incident, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "You actually know who I am, don't you?"

"what?"

No, you can even tell that?

"A person's first reaction is often their most authentic self."

“When you first saw me, your gaze lingered on the blindfold for a very long time, and your eyes showed extreme fear and worry… I think this is the most appropriate answer.”

“You saw right through me,” Bai Yan shook his head helplessly. “So you should put on the blindfold. I’m scared.”

"Don't worry, you may not feel it, but it's very obvious to someone like me."

"obvious?"

"Indeed, this place can suppress various extraordinary powers to a considerable extent. Didn't you notice?"

Bai Yan was startled and subconsciously looked down at his feet.

The thin film of water shimmered, and the ordinary clear water exuded a kind of indescribable power at this moment.

This special power seemed to overwhelm all the invisible forces in space.

Bai Yan suddenly realized.

So that’s it!

This is my real cheat code! It's finally here!

But he soon calmed down.

How did the mirror flow enter? Was it an accident?

Intuitively, I can vaguely sense the "registered personnel" here, and I can bring the mirror flow in next time.

As for suppressing the extraordinary, it's more accurate to say that it suppressed her demonic yin body.

No wonder they're willing to stay here; it's because the patient discovered that their terminal illness could be cured, and they're willing to try even if it's just a temporary fix.

"It seems so... So what are my conditions?"

"No problem at all."

Bai Yan lifted her skirt, ready to begin the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Wait a minute!"

"Ok?"

"You should switch back to a female voice; the current one is really inappropriate."

"……it is good."

Without thinking twice, Bai Yan switched back to the female voice.

Since I'll be pretending for a long time anyway, it's good to get used to it.

"I feel that you might be more suited to be a woman."

"Don't make fun of me, I was forced into this situation."

Although Jing Liu was smiling, he meant no harm, which made Bai Yan feel a little better.

I decided to stop thinking about it and simply and cleanly performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Disciple Bai Yan greets Master."

"Ha, no need for such formalities. Actually, I'm no longer qualified to take on disciples..."

"No, you must accept it."

Seeing Bai Yan's insistence, Jing Liu had no choice but to say, "Fine, whatever you say."

Bai Yan got his wish and got up. He leaned over and said with a grin, "We don't have much time left today, Master Jingliu. I'll definitely find a way to extend our stay so that we can spend more time together."
