This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 67: Visions of the Heavenly Dao

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Visions of the Heavenly Dao

According to the official setting, players are envisioned as extraordinary manifestations of the Heavenly Dao.

These individuals, gifted with unique talents and eccentric characters, spout nonsense, act unpredictably yet somehow resurrect from the dead – essentially, they’re the good guys!

Yes, the good guys!

If you dare to ask for help, they dare to agree to your nonsensical requests, handling matters with even more diligence than your own parents. Not to mention dealing with small factions, if you can afford the reward, they won’t fear death and would take on tasks as daunting as assaulting the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.

And these individuals with various peculiarities, officially called "Abnormal People" by the Immortal Dynasty, are precisely the players.

In his previous life, Liang Yi entered the game early and thrived immediately. From 80-year-old elderly women to 3-year-old children, the first thing they’d say upon meeting was:

"Do you need any help?"

He’s assisted the north city’s Xu Gong in comparisons of beauty, and also helped the south city’s old lady seek a spouse; he’s taken the east city’s old man to the brothel, and even helped the west city’s beggar become a gigolo.

With millions of residents in Immortal City, trivial matters are as common as strands of hair. With barely over a thousand beta testers, even three months of exhausting tasks couldn’t cover everything, so Liang Yi grew extremely fast.

Among so many benevolent players, only a handful truly made a name for themselves in Immortal City, and Liang Yi was among them. Hence, people were quite confident in his abilities after the game’s public release.

Liang Yi scratched his head, recalling that during the beta because of his high mission ratings, he even fulfilled a hidden condition and received the title "Honest and Reliable Young Gentleman," which increased his charm value by 2.

After wearing it, the old lady from the south of the city kept seeking him every few days to become her son-in-law, frightening Liang Yi so much that he never dared to visit the south city after completing the task. Her daughter, who was as wide as she was tall, could be left for Zhu the Butcher to enjoy.

However, players generally don’t get to interact with high-level characters, and events like the grand competitions of the sects within the Immortal Dynasty were only heard of. As for who participated, Liang Yi wasn’t sure and hadn’t heard from anyone; he just wasn’t that lucky.

"Fortunately, I still remember where I was born in the beta, I must make a trip there," Liang Yi thought to himself. When the time comes, will another "him" appear, or is it him transmigrated after death? He really had no clue.

"Senior brother! Senior brother! What are you daydreaming about?"

A pair of tender hands waved in front of Liang Yi, and he came to his senses upon hearing his junior sister’s call.

"Oh, just remembered something, what’s up?"

Pressing down on the white hands before him, Liang Yi asked belatedly.

"Master said to get ready to leave! Told us not to be like Complete Heaven Sect and Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, acting all arrogant and having to arrive right on time."

Su Youyi imitated the master’s demeanor and tone, pointing towards the two Super Forces as she repeated his words.

"Haha, you do it quite well."

Amused by his junior sister’s act, Liang Yi playfully flicked her nose, which made Su Youyi feign annoyance.

He then noticed that their master had already disappeared while he was lost in thought, leaving just the two of them to enjoy the magnificent seas of clouds atop the mountain.

"Right, Master also said that something big might happen in a few days, and to be careful when we’re in Immortal City."

"Big event? What big event?"

Liang Yi looked at his junior sister, puzzled—wasn’t the big event in Immortal City in a few days just the Immortal Dynasty sect competition?

"Master didn’t specify, I don’t know either, just mentioned it’s related to some change in the Heavenly Dao."

Su Youyi furrowed her brows, unclear about what a change in the Heavenly Dao meant, as she was far from reaching the realm where she could perceive the Heavenly Dao.

"!"

Liang Yi was startled, a change in the Heavenly Dao? Could it be referring to the "player" arrivals? This indeed would be a major event for the entire mystical and martial arts world of Mystical Mechanism.

"Is it only Master who knows, or do all the powerful figures who can sense the Heavenly Dao know? And how do they know?" Suddenly hearing this news, Liang Yi’s mind was in turmoil.

Su Youyi tilted her head, looking curiously at her senior brother who was deep in thought.

"Senior brother, is the change in the Heavenly Dao related to us?"

Su Youyi’s words were like a dawn breaking through the darkness. After calming down, Liang Yi thought carefully, "Yeah, what does it have to do with me? Why am I worrying so much?"

It’s just the arrival of players, and their activity area during the beta period was limited to a few cities near Immortal City.

What exactly is the truth behind the Heavenly Dao’s anomalies? Such things are too far beyond his current cultivation level, and after all, if the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up.

Moreover, he is still an NPC template, and he knows players better than anyone in the world today. As long as he has enough strength, he has ways to turn players into his aids. Therefore, the arrival of players is all benefit and no harm to him.

After his thoughts cleared, Liang Yi regained his smile and simply comforted,

"Suddenly hearing about the Heavenly Dao’s anomalies got me a bit worried. But what you said is right, sister apprentice. What do the Heavenly Dao’s anomalies have to do with us? I was overthinking it."

"So when do we leave?"

Su Youyi looked eagerly at Liang Yi, as she had long yearned for the most bustling city in the mortal world, the "City of Eternal Night," which she had heard about long ago while roaming with her senior brother.

"I have nothing to pack; we can leave at any time."

Having been secluded for half a year, Liang Yi felt bored, so he always had his schedule packed during seclusion.

Of course, if you provide him with soda, Wi-Fi, and snacks, ignore what he just said.

"Are you ready?"

Chen Hua reappeared.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi keenly noticed that although their master was still wearing a white vestment robe, it was a new one.

"A bit suspicious..."

They exchanged a look and read the same thought in each other’s eyes.

"What’s with those looks? Can’t I, your master, change clothes?" Seeing the suspicious looks from his disciples, Chen Hua flicked their foreheads.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Master, you don’t hold back at all!"

"Master is annoyed and embarrassed."

Liang Yi and Su Youyi groaned while covering their foreheads.

Laymen watch the fun, but experts watch the technique. It seemed like just a simple flick on the forehead, but they felt how skillfully their master controlled his power. It didn’t hurt their bodies but made their heads swell and feel intense pain.

"I think you two just need to be disciplined!"

Looking at his handsome senior disciple and his junior disciple, who was starting to show her stunning beauty, both with a bump on their heads. Chen Hua couldn’t help but laugh at their foolish looks.

"Ha-ha, senior brother, you look so weird right now."

Seeing Liang Yi’s current appearance, Su Youyi even forgot her forehead was still hurting and said with a giggle.

"I’ve captured it with the Image Retention Technique!" Liang Yi laughed mischievously, holding a halo of light in his hand.

"What is it?"

"Your current look, I’m going to keep it as a family heirloom!"

"Ah, delete it! Delete it quick!"

Su Youyi, no longer teasing her senior brother, threw herself into Liang Yi’s arms, trying to grab for it.

"No way! I’m not giving it!"

Liang Yi’s childish nature was also brought out, feeling like he was teasing his cat in his previous life.
