"Earth Sea, those bugs are related to the Earth Sea!"

Tongtong's voice rang out in Zhang Ze's head.

Hearing this, Zhang Ze immediately had an idea. He raised his right hand and shouted to Master Cheng at the same time.

"Master Cheng, please stop for now and allow this junior to try!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a colorless light began to spread. Centered on Zhang Ze, everything within several hundred meters was dragged into the shallow layer of the Earth Sea.

As if covered with a filter, everything became hazy and gray. Those unkillable, inexhaustible little bugs were all frozen in midair by Zhang Ze.

Like a collection of finely crafted figurines.

After freezing these little cuties, Zhang Ze walked over to the fallen Thousand Mechanism Giant and restarted that evil Array.

The pink light lit up again, the circuits connected, and in the blink of an eye all those little cuties were sucked back in.

The black straight hair girl and the twin-tails who had just regained their freedom were imprisoned again by the cold-blooded Mr. Zhang.

Seeing the Array operating normally, and to be on the safe side, Zhang Ze also double-checked the numbers according to Tongtong's instructions.

Only after confirming that all the bugs had been captured with no omissions did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and dispelled the Earth Sea transformation around them.

"All done, seniors." Zhang Ze stood on the back of the Thousand Mechanism Giant and looked at everyone as he spoke.

Master Cheng: "You sure? Got every last one?"

Zhang Ze: "I really got them all."

Even though Zhang Ze repeatedly guaranteed that all the little cuties had been caught by him, the Celestial Masters still uneasily checked themselves several times. Only after confirming that there really were no twin-tails on their bodies, and that the buzzing of black straight hair by their ears was just an auditory hallucination, did they finally relax.

Led by Master Cheng, a group of Celestial Masters stepped forward and surrounded Lily in a tight circle.

Being surrounded by a whole bunch of highly respected, high-cultivation Purple-robed Heavenly Masters was extremely stressful.

Especially when this group of Celestial Masters kept scratching their arms and shaking out their sleeves from time to time.

Looking back at the history of the Four Continents, ever since Dragon Tiger Mountain was founded, the number of demon heads who have received this kind of "special treatment" can be counted on two hands. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

For Lily to enjoy such an achievement at her age was the definition of "the family invited a true expert."

But to have such an achievement was also reasonable.

After all, Lily fixed the bug of "no mosquitoes" in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Developing mosquitoes that can bite Divinity Transformation and Void Refining Cultivators, and cockroaches that even Mahayana can't kill—Lily really deserves the title "Demon Lord among mortals."

Although they currently couldn't cause any major harm, no one could guarantee that Lily's little cuties wouldn't continue to evolve...

"Speak. Lake-dunking or live burial?" Junior Sister had also snuck into the crowd, arms folded, using the tiger's might to bluff and scare Lily.

"Indeed, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be dealt with harshly." Pretending nothing had happened, Tongtong chimed in to help, and, full and idle, even sent Zhang Ze a mission.

[StarCraft]

[Mission Objective: Capture the Swarm Leader and interrogate it for swarm secrets]

With her brows drooping and eyes downcast, Lily knelt on the ground, not daring to meet anyone's gaze. She muttered under her breath, and no one could hear what she was saying.

However, when she saw Zhang Ze draw out the Seven Wolves, she immediately shouted.

"I'll talk, I'll talk… I can still atone for my crimes with meritorious service! Just don't hit me, okay?"

"What crimes are you atoning for?" Zhang Ze curiously asked as he handed the wolf fang club called Seven Wolves to Junior Sister.

Lily started hemming and hawing again, but in the end she still told the truth.

"It's not just these… The bugs I bred aren't just these. The ones here are only one-tenth."

Master Cheng: "?"

The Celestial Masters shuddered, and the itching on their bodies started up again.

"Where are the rest?" Zhang Ze hurriedly asked.

"I, uh, already released them all into the Sword Pavilion." Lily shrank her neck and mumbled softly.

Zhang Ze: "?"

Zhang Ze didn't even know how to "compliment" her. Sure, "don't let fertile water flow into outsiders' fields," but she really didn't need to go this far.

Seeing everyone's faces getting darker and darker, Lily hurriedly added, "Don't, don't, don't hit me. Don't hit the face if you must hit me, hitting the face hurts a girl's pride. Let me finish talking."

"Those bugs all listen to me. I can call them all back, and they won't reproduce either, so relax… relax, they won't keep increasing."

Zhang Ze: "..."

Sword Pavilion.

The sun was bright today, but everyone just felt something was off.

Whether they were breathing in spiritual energy or practicing their sword, a buzzing would occasionally sound by their ears, but when they reached out to grab it, there was nothing there, like an auditory hallucination.

And it wasn't just hallucinated sounds, there were visual hallucinations too. If you weren't paying attention, you could see two cute twin-tails poking out from some corner, swaying back and forth.

All in all, it thoroughly disturbed people's cultivation and ruined their dreams.

Sword South Peak.

Qiao Lezhi, who was dozing off in her Cave Mansion, was annoyed awake by that buzzing sound that came and went.

Full of morning grumpiness, she rolled back and forth on the bed, but the buzzing sound still didn't disappear.

Even burying her head under the pillow was useless.

Driven mad by the irritation, Qiao Lezhi threw off her blanket and shouted. A gust of wind tore through her Cave Mansion.

After she'd blown everything into a complete mess, she stripped herself bare, summoned a water sphere, and jumped right in.

Once she was soaking in the water, the buzzing finally disappeared for a brief moment. Letting out a sigh of relief, Qiao Lezhi pulled a waterproof pillow and quilt out of her Hundred Treasures Bag, wrapped herself up like a silkworm cocoon, and closed her eyes again.

However, before long, that annoying buzzing sounded again...

"Aaaah, this is so annoying! Are you letting people sleep or not?!"

...

Asking Sword Peak, in the Martial Arts Hall.

Mei'Er was holding a copy of the "Miemie Yellow Book Complete Collection" with a cover wrapped around it. She read as she paced around the Martial Arts Hall, supervising the new disciples as they meditated and cultivated.

Even though she was multitasking, it didn't delay proper business.

She flicked her fingers and shot out a paper pellet, which smacked into the hand of one of the kiddos.
