Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 830: Li Qingran's Troubles

"Senior Chen, I'll take this Demon Puppet and the Blood Pill refined from the Demon Emperor... I'll deliver the finished product to you once it's made."The Spirit Beast Sect Master carefully pinched a wooden puppet and the thing that resembled a flesh-and-blood pill. These two items could buy him a hundred lives, so he had to handle them with extreme care.

"Are you delivering an array formation or a pill?" Chen Huaian raised an eyebrow. "You mentioned a Meridian Refining Technique—don't tell me you expect me to perform it myself?"

"Um..." Renshou fell silent for a moment before saying, "The Meridian Refining Technique is nothing for a senior like you. You could master it in an instant. If you feel it's not secure, you could also release your demonic beast. This junior will personally perform the technique, guaranteeing it will definitely produce an effect."

Chen Huaian pondered this.

It was better to leave professional matters to professionals.

Next time the Sect Summoning Token's cooldown was ready, he could simply summon the Spirit Beast Sect Master over. Once the Meridian Refining Technique was applied to Muscle Tyrant, he could send him back to the Cangyun Realm.

During the Spirit Beast Sect Master's preparation for the Meridian Refining Technique...

He could just take a look at Li Qingran's situation in the Canglan Realm.

Opening the Canglan Mirror from the Cangyun Realm, everything happening within slowed down due to the restored time flow. Chen Huaian gazed at his little disciple, sleeping soundly on the bed, her pretty face serene and peaceful. His tense heart couldn't help but soften a little.

He glanced at the Electronic Girlfriend log.

It was filled with his little disciple's longing for him, even more intense than when she was in the Cangyun Realm. However, compared to before, besides her muttering and complaining, his little disciple had also learned restraint and self-comfort.

For example, when encountering difficulties, Li Qingran used to think about how her master would solve such a situation. Now, Li Qingran no longer thought that way. Instead, she approached things from her own perspective, her inner self growing increasingly resilient.

Perhaps this was the meaning behind her insistence on going to the Canglan Realm for training...

Chen Huaian recalled that night.

His little disciple, even while crying her eyes out, still insisted on going for training.

She had always wanted to become someone who could stand on her own, a Dao Companion who could stand by his side and share his burdens, not just a little disciple who could only hide behind him for protection.

At this moment, Chen Huaian couldn't help but feel a slight warmth at the corner of his eyes.

The next second, he heard Li Qingran's drowsy, indistinct murmuring in her sleep.

"Husband... want a hug..."

Dreaming about hugging her husband even in her sleep?

It seemed she really missed him...

"Hehe... husband has grown up, can't bounce it anymore..."

Chen Huaian: "???"

Something wasn't right.

What was he, some kind of mushroom from the mountains?

What bizarre things was Li Qingran dreaming about?

Chen Huaian refocused his attention on the Electronic Girlfriend log. Although his little disciple was sleeping soundly, a trace of weariness lingered between her brows that couldn't be dissolved.

A lot must have happened recently.

And the only way to learn about these things was through the Electronic Girlfriend log.

A Great Ascension Stage cultivator had the ability to rewind the space within a certain area, replaying events that had occurred there. The maximum time that could be rewound depended on the Great Ascension Stage cultivator's strength and their comprehension of the rules of "time and space."

Cultivators who specialized in this path could naturally rewind longer periods.

Even achieving effects similar to reversing time.

Chen Huaian could also do it, but he couldn't apply his power to the Canglan Realm.

For now, he could only obediently read the text version of the "surveillance footage."

He had been fighting for his life on Earth Star, seemingly doing many things, but in reality, only a few days had passed.

But from Earth Star to Cangyun, and from Cangyun to the Canglan World...

Due to the massive time difference, nearly half a year had passed in the Canglan World.

During these six months, Li Qingran had been studying at the Battle Soul Academy, following the routine.

Because of her special and powerful artifact Battle Soul and the advantage of innate full Battle Power, she quickly stood out in the academy.

Plus, her stunning looks directly overshadowed all the department beauties from various faculties.

On the entire academy's goddess ranking, there wasn't a single contender who could match her. Li Qingran achieved a popularity lead so vast it created a gap.

However, this popularity didn't bring Li Qingran any benefits.

Some women enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, experiencing a life where countless men fawned over them, but Li Qingran had no interest in that.

Her suitors were too many.

Every day, her storage locker would receive a pile of love letters, along with various overtures from the Battle Soul Hall and scions of major families.

Those Soul Masters who only had some talent and no background were easier to deal with. Usually, rejecting them a few times would make them stop coming.

But those playboys from major families were something else. They buzzed around her like flies all day long, employing endless tricks to pursue girls.

However, none of these playboys dared to use any underhanded tactics.

This was because Li Qingran had already joined the Battle Soul Hall. With her identity as a Battle Soul Hall member, these playboys didn't dare to act recklessly.

But compared to those Soul Masters with only talent and no background, these family playboys, besides having thick skin, also had extremely strong self-esteem.

Some time ago, Li Qingran rejected the direct descendant of a major family for the 999th time.

That direct descendant completely lost his composure, vowing to snipe Li Qingran in the academy's preliminary selection tournament, preventing her from participating in the subsequent Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament.

And what had been causing Li Qingran's recent weariness and worry was precisely this matter.

Although she had innate full Battle Power and was a member of the Battle Soul Hall, the resources the Battle Soul Hall gave her were only at the standard for ordinary elites.

In the Battle Soul Hall, geniuses like her with innate full Battle Power were not uncommon. Before achieving sufficient accomplishments, the Battle Soul Hall would not focus its cultivation on any single individual.

If she wanted to achieve something, the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament was her opportunity.

First, she had to participate in the academy's preliminary selection tournament within the Battle Soul Academy. The top 10 contestants from this competition would form two teams to represent the Battle Soul Academy in the tournament.

Under normal circumstances, Li Qingran was very confident in herself. Making it into the top 10 wouldn't be a problem at all.

But now, with that major family's direct descendant targeting her, things had become somewhat difficult.

The first stage of the academy preliminary selection tournament was a random individual competition in a draw format. The first stage would determine 20 contestants to advance to the second stage's arena competition.

The twenty contestants had to defend their arenas. The ten contestants who successfully defended their arenas would advance to the semi-finals of the third stage's individual competition.

If an arena defense failed, the challenger would replace the arena master's position, and the new arena master would need to accept the same number of challenges.

Contestants eliminated in the first round would also have a finals for the losers' bracket, ranked based on the points earned from successfully challenging arenas.

Li Qingran was confident she could become an arena master. Each arena master could only be challenged five times. Successfully defending the arena five times would qualify her for the semi-finals.

But at this point, there was no randomness left.

Contestants could voluntarily choose their targets to challenge.

That major family's direct descendant had seized an opportunity from these competition rules.

At that time, four pre-arranged powerful Soul Masters would take turns depleting her power, while that major family's direct descendant would intentionally get eliminated in the first stage. Then, when she was nearly exhausted, he would launch an arena challenge in the fifth round, defeating her in one go and seizing the arena master position.

An open arrow is easy to block, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.

Li Qingran had been feeling annoyed and weary because of this matter recently.

She had become very fond of sleeping.

Because only when she slept at night and dreamed of Chen Huaian would her mood, depressed all day, improve just a little.

…

After reading the Electronic Girlfriend log.

Only a chilling coldness remained in Chen Huaian's eyes.
