Swallowing Lily was no big deal for Fuji; it was even a form of daily entertainment for a period of time.

When it came to savoring Lily, Fuji could almost write a book on it.

Of course, she did have this thought, but it was too private and a bit perverse, so Zhang Ze passionately dissuaded her.

Though several months had passed since she last played, Fuji's techniques had not diminished.

When Zhang Ze called her and explained the situation, Fuji made an OK gesture, indicating that she had everything under control.

It looked quite reassuring.

More or less.

After arriving at a small room, Fuji patted Lily's head, petting her as if she were a puppy, to soothe her.

Due to knowing she was in big trouble, Lily didn't resist, which took away some of Fuji's fun.

However, Fuji didn't mind, as Lily wasn't going anywhere, and she could play some other day when she was free.

Under the effect of Fuji's slight dosage and massage, Lily's expression gradually relaxed, her face becoming oily, and her eyes began to daze.

When Lily was ready, Fuji stretched her body.

She transformed into a whirlpool, shedding her human disguise.

Her pale blue body lunged at Lily, dozens of tentacles extending to wrap around her with a slippery squirming sound...

Not long after, the door opened.

Fuji leaped out, spun around.

"Ta-da-da-dum, how do I look?"

Zhang Ze stroked his chin, silent for a long time before speaking.

"You look good, but I understand everything, yet why did you turn into Lily's appearance?"

Fuji, "Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be like this?"

After absorbing Lily, Fuji changed into Lily's form...

Zhang Ze, "Of course not, you should transform into something untraceable to the common person."

Fuji, "Hmmmm...."

Fuji began contemplating what form she should take.

A moment later.

"Got it, wait a sec."

Saying this, Fuji went back into the room.

Since Lily was already inside her, the transformation didn't take much time.

With an earth-shaking rumble, the door of the vacant room before Zhang Ze shattered.

A square-shaped pig•blue edition made a grand entrance.

Zhang Ze, "...."

Why not?

Zhang Ze originally suggested Fuji come up with some cosplay or incarnate as a savior, but if she wanted to turn into this, so be it.

After all, no one knew what this form of Li looked like, and even if they searched for Li, it wouldn't acknowledge it.

As the potion's effect wore off, Lily also woke up, her muffled voice coming from within Fuji.

"Boss, rest assured, I'll redeem myself with feats."

"Just don't cause more trouble; no one can save you if you do." Junior Sister popped her head out from behind Zhang Ze and told Lily.

"Definitely, definitely." Lily replied with a mischievous smile.

...

Sword Pavilion.

Although everyone from the peak had already dispersed, all daily activities on each peak were mostly suspended.

Elders and apprentices, from grand masters to disciples, including three generations, were all on high alert.

They held various magical artifacts and flying swords, observing in all directions to detect any disturbances around them.

Some even began considering relocation plans, preparing to move their peaks to mosquito-free places in a few days.

Like the Sword Pavilion's seventh office on Third Street in Xiaowang Village by Crown Prince River.

However, just as they were ready for a prolonged battle with these pigtails and long black hair, the sudden swarm disaster ended just as abruptly.

With a jubilant dragon roar, a square-shaped pig flew across the sky above the Sword Pavilion.

Shooting light from its rear end - a pink glow that stretched endlessly.

The continuous light was dazzling even in daytime, nearly competing with the golden crow.

The blue square-shaped pig began circling the Sword Pavilion on clouds, and wherever its rear-end pink sheen touched the ground, black lights surged upward along the beams.

The bugs 'freed' by Lily in the Sword Pavilion responded to this pink glow and emerged from every nook and cranny.

Soon, the pink stream turned black, like a black whip lashing across the ground.

Li watched this somewhat indecent scene, repeatedly drawing and then sheathing his sword.

Meanwhile, Wang was watching the sky with a grin.

"Interesting, like a flying pig pooping. No idea how the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion evening news will report this."

Li gave a sidelong glance at him, unwilling to converse.

...

Regarding the square-shaped pig.

After half an hour of flying around sucking up the bugs, Fuji and Lily completed the retrieval, not missing a single one.

Returning to a solitary peak behind the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, Lily merrily jumped out of Fuji, handing a mirror to Zhang Ze.

"Here you are, boss. I've captured all the bugs. If nothing else, I'll head off. I left the stove on at home; tomorrow..."

Lily said while walking down the mountain, but before taking two steps, Zhang Ze scooped her up by the neck.

"Redeeming yourself doesn't mean you're off the hook. You may avoid being buried alive, but don't you think you should explain what you intended with this thing?"

Zhang Ze told Lily, who was flapping around in his hands like a big carp.

"And another thing, explain why my Profound Identification Treasure Mirror is in your hands and why you used it to store bugs."

In the field of immortal cultivation, for most practitioners, treasures obtained in the early stage are generally useless later, most just for nostalgia.

Often displayed at home, occasionally taken out for play, recalling previous glories.

Zhang Ze was no different.

The treasures he amassed earlier, whether given to him or swiped from his master, were mostly useless now.

More than half were lost when his Hundred Treasures Bag was destroyed at Luoyu Mountain.

Of the remainder, those not carried and somewhat useful fell into Lily's possession at a high price.

Lily claimed she was collecting them to auction for profit once the boss was invincible and renowned.

Items he kept on him, like old clothes and such, vanished, likely disposed of when Junior Sister cleaned his room.

The rest, like his first date folding stool with Junior Sister or the Ink Sword gifted by his master, were all placed in his Sword Box.

The Profound Identification Treasure Mirror was in that category.

As his first genuinely owner-recognized magical artifact, Zhang Ze gave it a lot of freedom.

He could say it was free to do as it pleased.

After the Qinghe Association ended, Zhang Ze set it free, placing no restrictions.

The Profound Identification Treasure Mirror didn't disappoint; it spent 24/7 online, moonlighting under different pseudonyms as Understand Brother, pretending to be a veteran to have fun with people.

In the small walnut world, it thrived, completely enamored.

So Zhang Ze couldn't understand how Lily recruited this homebody mirror into her evil bunch, with Profound Identification keeping it secret.

Zhang Ze looked at the long-time buddy in his hand, "What's going on?"

The small walnut screen on the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror lit up with words:

[I signed a confidentiality agreement, can't spill before Lily is done, can't have my reputation crumble as a big influencer.]

Zhang Ze, "..."

Seeing the reply from the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror, Zhang Ze wondered if he was simply out of touch due to working too seriously for too long, missing the trends in the Four Continents.

Like he's still asking if you are gg or mm, while the Four Continents have evolved to iron-brother double-click 666.

"Not bad, huh." Zhang Ze looked at Lily.

Lily took Zhang Ze's words as praise, becoming a bit bashful.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just got the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror some backdoor connections, used Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's resources to gain a bunch of followers..."

Lily was about to elaborate, but was dragged uphill by Zhang Ze without finishing.

"We'll talk about this later, come with me for now." Zhang Ze told Lily after receiving a message from Xiangxiang that everyone had gathered.

Lily, "Where to?"

Zhang Ze, "Six Sects Trial."

Lily, "?!?"

...
