Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 601: Chen Wenyan Who Wants to Learn Time Stop

Chapter 601: Chen Wenyan Who Wants to Learn Time Stop

...

"You're not an assassin?"

Chen Wenyan thought to himself, like hell he believed that.

What kind of decent person breaks into someone's residence at night!

His mansion had plenty of skilled guards—ordinary thieves definitely couldn't get in. Only highly skilled assassins could make it through.

Like those super experts from the jianghu who had opened their Ren and Du meridians and practiced extraordinary techniques.

Although he was the Top Scholar in martial arts, he was no match for these seasoned veterans.

"This venerable one truly is not an assassin."

He was somewhat confused about what exactly he was now.

If he were the original body, he could accept that—after all, no matter how the Three Corpses reunited, it would still be dominated by the original body.

But if he were the middle corpse, wouldn't that make him inferior to the original? And he'd have to compete with the lower and upper corpses too?

"You're really not an assassin?" Chen Wenyan had already reached for the sword hidden in the secret compartment by his bed. The cold touch of the hilt gave him some comfort: "If you're not an assassin then leave quickly. This young master will let bygones be bygones and pretend you never came tonight."

"Do you know Chen Huaian?" Chen Huaian stared at Chen Wenyan, his tone calm.

"Chen Huaian?" Chen Wenyan maintained his composure on the surface, but inwardly, tumultuous waves were crashing.

This assassin knew his former name?

But after his master's death, he had completely abandoned that name!

Who exactly was this person before him?!

Chen Wenyan was starting to panic internally. Could this person be his master's enemy?

If it was his master's enemy, he stood no chance at all!

Chen Huaian was equally panicked, but his panic came from not knowing what he truly was!

He feared that everything between him and Li Qingran might suddenly vanish like foam at any moment!

The two fell into silence, staring at each other through the curtain as the atmosphere gradually grew tense.

"I don't know Chen Huaian." Chen Wenyan broke the silence, trying to keep his voice steady: "If you're here looking for Chen Huaian, then you've probably come to the wrong place. There's no one called Chen Huaian here—if there were, I'd definitely know as the master of this house." 𝘳𝐀Ꞑố𝐁Ё𝐒

Chen Huaian didn't speak. Instead, he flicked his finger, sending a streak of Sword Qi from his fingertip that instantly extinguished a distant candle flame.

The Chen Wenyan before him was undoubtedly an ordinary mortal.

Since he was a mortal, he might as well use a more direct approach—revealing his cultivator identity to shock him and see how he would react.

However...

Chen Wenyan's pupils contracted, and he immediately slid off the bed into a kneeling position.

"Senior! Settle debts with those who owe them, seek vengeance from those who wronged you! I'm just my master's disciple—those terrible things my master did have nothing to do with me!"

"It's true that he was a flower thief, but he always got the women's permission first!

The old master was quite handsome, though still not quite as good-looking as me...

Anyway, if you want revenge, go find him! I'm not on the same path—all these wives of mine were properly married!"

After speaking, Chen Wenyan promptly kowtowed three times to Chen Huaian.

Chen Huaian's mouth twitched.

Good heavens, this Chen Wenyan actually learned his martial arts from a flower thief?

How absurd!

But talking about martial arts gave him an idea.

"This venerable one is your master's friend. It's just that your master lacked talent and ultimately couldn't become a cultivator. This venerable one was luckier, born with good talent. I joined a sect early on and became a Sword Cultivator!"

He couldn't quite figure out Chen Wenyan's calculations.

But he calculated clearly about Chen Wenyan's master—that flower thief was already dead.

Coincidentally, he died on a woman's belly.

That flower thief, relying on his youth preservation techniques and martial arts, had cuckolded countless people and was hunted by countless assassins.

He plucked flowers his whole life, never expecting that one day, poison could be hidden among those flowers.

A fitting end, one might say.

Knowing this relationship in advance, Chen Huaian felt more confident spinning his tale.

"Your master wrote a letter before his death, entrusting me to look after you." Chen Huaian adopted a mysterious tone, playing the part of an otherworldly expert: "Little did I expect that the first thing you'd do upon meeting me would be to expose your master's secrets! What a shame your master ended up with an unfilial disciple like you!"

Chen Wenyan was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

So this mysterious person was his master's friend? And a cultivator?

How awkward...

Wasn't this like the river god attacking the dragon king's temple?

He believed about half of what Chen Huaian said.

Although his master was a flower thief, he only targeted the wives and concubines of corrupt and cruel officials.

In the jianghu, his master had quite a good reputation and many friends.

So it wasn't surprising that a friend of his master might suddenly appear.

If the other party were his master's enemy, they would have already killed him instead of wasting time talking.

He just felt somewhat guilty and embarrassed.

Facing his master's friend, he had prioritized saving his own skin by using his deceased master as a shield.

"Senior, I've had it rough too." Knowing that the immortal cultivation opportunity he had been desperately seeking was right before him, Chen Wenyan immediately put on a pitiful expression and poured out his grievances: "You have no idea—I've been assassinated twice this month alone! I'm now seeing bows as snakes and shadows as soldiers, suspicious of everything!"

"When you appeared by my bed just now, I nearly shit myself!"

He pushed the woman beside him, "Yun'er, stop sleeping! Get up and pay respects to the immortal!"

But his Yun'er didn't move at all—she wasn't even breathing.

"Yun'er?!" Chen Wenyan's face turned pale as he shook his concubine's body vigorously.

"Stop shaking her." Chen Huaian said calmly: "The time and space around us have been paused by this venerable one."

"What?!" Chen Wenyan looked completely bewildered: "You're saying you can stop time?"

"Within a small area, yes." Chen Huaian nodded.

Chen Wenyan's eyes lit up, and he immediately slid into a kneeling position again, "Senior, since my master asked you to look after me, then... could you teach me this divine ability to stop time?"

Chen Huaian fell silent.

Judging by the gleam in this kid's eyes, he seemed to have quite some ideas about this time stop ability.

"Why do you want to learn this?"

"Because with this ability..." Chen Wenyan's lips curled into a smile: "I could play with my wives and concubines even better!"

But judging by his lecherous grin, there was clearly more to his words than that.

Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.

Time stop...

This Chen Wenyan once again showed that wretched lower corpse demeanor.

Could it be that he wanted to play out a "time stop series" Cangyun Realm edition?

Leaving aside that mastering time stop was nearly impossible without Great Ascension Stage cultivation...

The key point was that no such ability even existed.

But he couldn't say that to Chen Wenyan.

"You really want to learn?"

"Yes, I want to become a cultivator like you! I want to learn time stop!"

"Hehe~" Chen Huaian's lips curled as he shook his head: "It's not impossible for you to learn time stop, but cultivation is a gradual process. Even if I taught you now, you wouldn't be able to learn it.

You need to first practice an internal technique to raise your cultivation level."

Chen Wenyan nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I think too, senior! Do you have any recommended internal techniques?"

Chen Huaian smiled and nodded.

Then he pulled out a transcribed copy of the Heavenly Demon Art from his player inventory.

"This is the internal technique this venerable one recommends for your cultivation." He seductively whispered with a sinister smile: "As long as you keep cultivating according to this, one day you'll master the art of time stop! Hehehe!"
