But Song Brahman Mirror felt that being all alone, she couldn't provide even the slightest help for Song Chai Xin's career or cultivation.

No matter how exceptional her talent, how long would it take for her to grow into a True Master capable of protecting him?

Cultivation has always been increasingly difficult; each level is like a new heaven. It takes ten years to surpass the second step, but breaking from 'Primordial Pill' to 'True Master'...

Is undoubtedly somewhat like a fairy tale.

What can I do?

Nothing more than,

Knowing the 'predicament' he is about to face.

But having no solution to resolve it.

Only able to silently watch him break through it on his own.

Ever since losing almost everything on Yunluan Mountain, but seizing hold of 'Song Chai Xin'.

In these years, even though her cultivation has surged rapidly, surpassing her previous self, becoming more exceptional, Song Brahman Mirror vaguely realizes her personality seems to have twisted.

She has begun to rely incredibly on Song Chai Xin.

As if he's everything she can see in sight.

She can very clearly realize this.

Logically, for someone as excellent as Song Brahman Mirror, opting to rely entirely on one person is nearly impossible, she herself clearly knows it.

But...

In this foggy world.

There isn't a single thing that could make her linger half a moment longer.

If not focusing on the one 'who fills her heart and eyes'...

Where else could she look, if not on him?

And seemingly seeing through Song Brahman Mirror's thoughts, Song Chai Xin lifted his eyelids lightly, mischievously smiling, and brushed her temple's silver hair:

"Why does Senior Sister look so worried, speaking halfway?"

"Could it be you're thinking, now that this tribulation has passed, when returning to Wutong Prefecture, you'll subtly hint for me to marry you?"

Annoying!

"Talking serious matters with you, and you're joking around with me."

"Being the Prefecture Venerable, wouldn't it be a joke, letting others witness this?"

Song Brahman Mirror glared, pinching Song Chai Xin.

However, the young man in red mischievously and half-seriously pretended to be in pain, all the while holding her hand:

"How come, these years, you've trudged through swords, spears, axes, and halberds, survived bloody battles, agreed before departing, once you've washed away grievances, and returned to innocence, upon standing beside me, you'd leave with me."

"Sister Song..."

Suddenly, Song Chai Xin laughed mischievously, unexpectedly hugging Song Brahman Mirror tightly.

With warm white breath, lightly exhaling on her earlobe as white as jade, jingling softly, causing her delicate earlobes to burn with heat:

"Could it be you're unwilling to take my surname 'Song'?"

"Or do you want to take Song Yuan's 'Song', instead of my Song Chai Xin's 'Song'?"

Song Brahman Mirror, embarrassed and annoyed: "Shut your filthy mouth, get lost!"

It's utterly against the heaven's principles!

Clearly, it was you back then who persistently wanted to take my surname, how can you turn it around?

"You're really something..."

Song Brahman Mirror snorted, turned her head away, ignoring the youth smiling with wicked charm in his wide-open eyes.

Yet, tilting her head, as the carriage rumbled into Wutong Prefecture, her lips curled slightly, uncontrollably.

And at this moment, Song Chai Xin's low voice resounded:

"Senior Sister, these past four years, you've collected numerous demon heads for me, earning military merits, and this Wutong Prefecture Venerable position owes part of its credit to you."

"Your excellence could make Baoping State stand in awe."

"So don't undervalue yourself, in the entire world, among peers, how many..."

"Could stand shoulder to shoulder with you?"

"As for this Wutong Prefecture..."

"There's even less need for worry."

Song Chai Xin smiled:

"If I am naturally formed, top-grade Primordial Pill, affecting the celestial phenomena."

"Former acquaintances, unwilling forces from various sides..."

"Which can remain defiant, which dare to defy?"

Hearing these immensely commanding words, Song Brahman Mirror turned in astonishment:

"Are you ready?"

"Or should you wait a bit longer, after all, you are still young, if you're not careful..."

Song Brahman Mirror's moist, crystal-clear eyes were captivating, like an entire constellation reflected in them, shaking Song Chai Xin into laughter again: 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Wasn't it Senior Sister who told me to get lost?"

Watching the girl's little fists slowly clenching, her bright, beautiful teeth showing a hint of displeasure.

The young man laughed heartily, eyes gleaming with the sharpness of an eagle, no longer teasing, but standing to straighten his attire, said:

"Baoping State received the famous 'Wutong Prefecture Venerable', but this sprawling Wutong Prefecture..."

"Not a single person knew my name."

"Today, let the powerhouse once noted on the 'Eight Hundred Dao Ladder', a Half-Demon youth."

"Once again, let this prefecture recall that name!"

"Let's go!"

...

Dew gleamed on the roadside phoenix trees.

Early morning.

The carriage from the State Mansion rode into Wutong.

As Song Chai Xin just took his seat, officially taking office.

Many officials, martial artists, aristocrats, and wealthy merchants,

already heard rumors that in the 'Baoping demon disaster', a young celestial pride of many merits...

Arrived in Wutong Prefecture, taking the seat of 'Prefecture Venerable'!

In an instant, this Wutong Prefecture was hit with an upheaval!

This Prefecture Venerable seat had been vacant for years, the previous one hadn't even settled in before being overthrown, taken down from the stage.

After such a long time...

Is there finally someone to take over?

And judging by appearances, the background isn't shallow, otherwise how could he directly descend and take the position amidst fierce open and covert struggles?

The Government Office's appointment, although rumors would leak beforehand, as for who it specifically was, no one dared to leak or spread.
