Chapter 625: Chapter 246: He’s My Bro! I Can’t Let My Bro Down!

"The place closest to the stars..."

Fan Wubing looked up at the starry sky, the majestic scene dazzling to behold.

He suddenly felt a bit curious about what the so-called "ascension" truly meant, and where exactly it led. Was the Upper Immortal Realm among these stars?

The Circulation Dao slowly flowed within his body. These invisible "Dao mechanisms," like an unseen hand, skillfully controlled the cycles of all things and the operation of affairs.

He turned his head and asked Jiang Sha, "Did you rebuild the Path to Immortality back then to ascend and become an immortal?"

Jiang Sha always answered Fan Wubing’s questions quickly, as if she could predict what he would ask.

But this question made her ponder for a long time.

In the end, she only gave an uncertain answer, "Perhaps."

"Is Sister Jiang here?" Ye Wuyue’s voice sounded from outside the courtyard’s Moon Gate.

Fan Wubing immediately concealed his presence.

Jiang Sha responded, "I’m here."

Ye Wuyue walked in from outside. She had changed her attire to a sleek, form-fitting uniform, resembling a modified version of the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty Imperial Guard uniform, with the words "Slaughter Demon" on her shoulder, making her demeanor turn solemn.

However, upon seeing Jiang Sha, the mischievous charm of a young girl instantly revealed itself.

She greeted with a smile, "Good evening, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Sha softly asked, "You look a bit tired, is work very busy?"

Ye Wuyue sat where Fan Wubing had been sitting, sighed, and was about to speak when she suddenly felt some residual warmth in the seat. She couldn’t help but wonder if someone had just been sitting there. However, facing Jiang Sha, she didn’t give it much thought,

"After the Demon Extermination Bureau was officially established, the plan was for Right Minister Gong Tianrui to be the General Director, and I to be the Deputy General Director. But for some reason, Wenxin Heaven decided to make me the General Director and Gong Tianrui the Deputy General Director. Now all the pressure is on me, and the people on the side of the Shangjing Dynasty aren’t cooperating with me very well... They seem intent on sidelining me."

Jiang Sha said, "Has so much happened in just half a month?"

Ye Wuyue lamented, "The most upsetting thing is, just after I took up office, Celestial Travel County in the outer city of Changning City was attacked by Demon Cultivators today! Although it wasn’t a large scale incident and nobody was hurt... But this is Changning City, the capital of the Immortal Dynasty, one of the safest places on the Immortal Continent. Now everyone outside is mocking the Demon Extermination Bureau, saying we can’t even manage what’s under our feet, let alone the entire Immortal Continent."

Jiang Sha asked, "Did you catch the Demon Cultivators causing the trouble?"

Ye Wuyue shook her head, "Not yet. I just returned from the scene and dropped by to take a short break here, but I must return to the Demon Extermination Bureau soon."

Jiang Sha encouraged, "It’s always difficult at the beginning. Don’t be discouraged. I’ll always support you."

"Sister, you’re so kind~"

Jiang Sha smiled and handed her a snack, "A reward for your hard work today."

Ye Wuyue paused when she saw the snack because the shape seemed familiar... She was slightly puzzled, then took a bite. As the delicious taste bloomed between her lips, she suddenly froze and quickly asked,

"Where did Sister get this snack from?"

Jiang Sha said, "I bought it from Fengdeng Tower."

"Fengdeng Tower?" Ye Wuyue was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Sha asked with a smile, "Is it good?"

"Good, so good!" Ye Wuyue held her breath, then, unable to wait any longer, stood up, "Thank you so much for the snack, Sister, I must go back now! I’ll come again next time."

"Yes, yes, keep it up!"

Ye Wuyue quickly left.

After she left, Fan Wubing reappeared,

"Why did you give her the snacks I made?"

Jiang Sha laughed, "Seeing how hard she works, don’t you want to reward her a little?"

"She clearly found the taste familiar. What if she starts suspecting I’m still alive?"

"That’s why I said it was bought from Fengdeng Tower."

Fan Wubing squinted his eyes, "Why do I feel like you did it on purpose?"

Jiang Sha blinked her eyes, "Did I?"

"Forget it."

Fan Wubing sighed. He didn’t particularly like being manipulated like this, but over time, he had somehow gotten used to it... Perhaps because it was Jiang Sha. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t be able to stand it.

But why was it that Jiang Sha could do it?

This too was something he couldn’t figure out.

He lay back in the vine chair, facing the starry sky, closed his eyes, and felt the Power of Circulation from the stars.

Until a happy voice interrupted his reverie,

"Slaughter Demon Lord, Slaughter Demon Lord! I’m back!"

An An came running in happily from outside, her face full of spring joy. Upon seeing Fan Wubing, she almost tripped and then pouted her lips,

"Why are you back?"

Fan Wubing glanced at her, "If you can come back, why can’t I?"

"Hmph." An An clearly had something happy to share and didn’t have time to bicker with Fan Wubing. She excitedly walked over to Jiang Sha and said, "I did a big thing today!"

Jiang Sha’s voice was gentle, "What big thing?"

An An’s eyes were shining, "In Celestial Travel County, in the outer city area of Changning City, I caused a major disruption!"

"Oh? How did you do it?"

"I reversed the Spirit Gathering Array of two Grotto Heaven Workshops, over three thousand large and small Grotto Heavens in total! And guess what happened?" An An asked with great anticipation. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"What?"

"The people inside the Grotto Heavens not only failed to absorb immortal energy, but their own immortal energy got drawn out quite a bit by the reversed Spirit Gathering Array! Their cultivation level dropped several layers at once!" An An covered her mouth and giggled, "How about that, aren’t I bad?"
