Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 665: It Must Be True

Chapter 665: It Must Be True

...

Yun Province, Demon Sealing Pagoda.

Having concluded his business, Chen Niu tossed two shards of top-grade spirit jade onto Wu E's form.

"Consider this your payment; put what just transpired out of your mind." Chen Niu let out a dry cough. As his yang energy reached its peak release, the medicinal pollutants that had tainted both him and Wu E finally evaporated. With his sanity returning, he realized his treatment of Wu E had been somewhat excessive.

However, it was hardly a major concern.

Since this wasn't Wu E's true physical form, he assumed Wu E wouldn't be bothered by such trifles.

"Brother, I... I have been ruined, my body..."

"That isn't your actual body." Chen Niu draped himself around the stone pillar before the Demon Sealing Pagoda, exhaling smoke toward the heavens.

"Wah wah, I've been defiled, my soul..."

"It matters not, for it is merely an avatar. Even if it merges back with your main body, the memories might not be fully retained.

You won't hold today's events in your heart, will you, Wu E?"

Chen Niu fixed a piercing, threatening gaze upon Wu E, who remained slumped on the ground.

Wu E was his brother, but Wu E's avatar was a mere tool. The former was family, while the latter was a pawn to be discarded.

He would simply inform Wu E upon his return that the avatar had been destroyed by the variable.

"Brother, why am I here? How peculiar!"

Wu E pulled himself up, scanning his surroundings with a vacant expression as if every prior moment had been erased from his mind.

"Enough of that. The third Well of Heaven has unsealed, and Celestial Jade Marrow is about to manifest in this realm. Those two fools, Jin Lin and Huang Pi, squandered the advantage provided by the Great Thunder Temple. They failed to secure even a single fragment of the Celestial Jade Marrow."

Chen Niu exhaled a sigh, shifting the focus to more vital concerns.

"They have left this disaster for us to clean up... We cannot follow in the footsteps of Jin Lin and Huang Pi, failing to obtain even one piece of Celestial Jade Marrow..."

"Then what is our plan, big brother?" Wu E queried, looking toward Chen Niu. "Given my current status, it isn't appropriate for me to assist you in seizing the Celestial Jade Marrow openly..."

"Your task is to track Chen Huaian. As an Elder of Kunlun Immortal Palace, he is highly suspected of being one of the variables. We must discover the source of his pills. If they were gifted by those two old men, he likely isn't our target.

Regardless, by following him, the location of the Celestial Jade Marrow will be revealed to us.

That woman, Hua Jin, possesses a sharp talent for divining the Celestial Jade Marrow's coordinates. Since we hail from the Upper Realm, we are rejected by the natural laws of this Lower Realm, making it nearly impossible for us to calculate the locations ourselves. Therefore... Wu E, your role is critical!"

Chen Niu spoke with an air of heavy gravity and concern.

Wu E gave a firm nod. "I understand, brother. I will head back to the C Province Exorcist Division immediately to trail Chen Huaian. The moment I have word on the Celestial Jade Marrow, I will send a report. However..."

"However what?"

"Once the location of the Celestial Jade Marrow is secured, may I kill Chen Huaian?"

A murderous, cruel glint flickered in Wu E's eyes.

While he lacked the courage to defy Chen Niu, one fact remained certain.

Had Chen Huaian not forced that pill upon him, he would never have suffered such humiliation.

His loathing for Chen Huaian was etched into his very marrow!

"Idiot! If Chen Huaian is slain, how shall we locate the next Celestial Jade Marrow? Do you intend to go ask Hua Jin the True One yourself?" Chen Niu’s eyes widened as he glared at Wu E. "Chen Huaian must remain alive for now. Furthermore, you are likely no match for him! Stay in line and perform your duties as a mole!"

Wu E was left with no rebuttal.

He could only offer a submissive "yes" in response.

...

Wu E soared back toward the C Province Exorcist Division, his legs still trembling slightly upon landing.

Despite Chen Niu's command to forget, the memory refused to fade.

Even if this avatar's essence returned to his true self, a significant portion of today’s trauma would likely persist.

"Curse you, Chen Huaian, your day will come!" Wu E's gaze was frigid and malicious.

He intended to find a secluded spot to mend himself before showing his face at the C Province Exorcist Division. Given the state of his rear, it would be humiliating to be seen. Even as a Demon Immortal's avatar, Wu E possessed a sense of pride.

He was unaware that Chen Huaian had sensed his arrival the very moment he touched down.

"Who is the one cursing me now?!" Chen Huaian was perusing the Electronic Girlfriend shop when a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

The sound resonated from within his heart, signaling that the divine ability granted by Bai Ze had been triggered.

The power of Bai Ze could be used with precision. He often chose to block out the internal monologues of Zhao Ying or Lin Lingling.

If he left the ability wide open, the mental noise of every living creature within a kilometer would flood his brain.

Cultivation would be impossible under such a cacophony.

He would be driven to madness by the irritation.

However, for high-priority targets like Wu E, he kept the mental surveillance active.

The moment Wu E entered a one-kilometer radius and began his internal grumbling, Chen Huaian heard it all.

"The demon inhabiting Muscle Tyrant has finally returned?"

Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, his divine soul reaching out to the contract, pinpointing the other's exact position instantly.

His bond with Muscle Tyrant was a master-servant contract, though it had become little more than a formality.

Chen Huaian was well aware that the entity could likely shred the agreement in moments if it so desired.

He understood the reality of the situation but chose to feign ignorance, turning a blind eye to the power gap.

"He certainly is resilient and thick-skinned. Those hordes of monsters couldn't keep him occupied for long." He let out a cold snort.

He had anticipated a delay of at least three days...

It was a stroke of luck that he had returned from the Cangyun Realm ahead of schedule.

Had he spent more time distracted by feminine company, the safety of his original body might have been at risk.

Noticing that Wu E intended to hide and recover, Chen Huaian decided not to grant him that luxury.

With a sudden flash, he manifested right beside Wu E in an instant.

The abrupt appearance nearly sent Wu E tumbling to the ground in a fright.

"Ah, you've returned? It seems the pill This Venerable One provided was quite potent. Your wounds appear mostly healed." Chen Huaian offered a warm, benevolent smile, his expression radiating kindness. "There is no need for gratitude. As your master, it is only right that This Venerable One looks after you~"

Inside, Wu E was seething with pure rage.

He had already spent several minutes mentally slaughtering Chen Huaian's entire lineage.

Yet, he was forced to plaster a sycophantic smile on his face as he spoke:

"Indeed, Big Boss, I owe it all to your medicine. Without that pill, I would likely still be incapacitated... I simply wonder, where did such a miraculous treasure originate? Do you happen to have any more?"

*So, he's fishing for secrets?*

Chen Huaian saw right through Wu E's transparent manipulation.

"That was the last of its kind." Chen Huaian shook his head with a heavy sigh. "This Venerable One discovered that pill within an ancient ruin years ago, long before the first Well of Heaven had even manifested... That ruin has since vanished for reasons unknown."

"A ruin?" Wu E turned the information over in his mind.

If the medicine originated from a ruin, then Chen Huaian might not actually be a variable himself.

Instead, that vanished ruin could be the true source of the variables.

Was it possible the variables emerged from such lost sites?

Wu E studied Chen Huaian's self-assured demeanor, which seemed entirely genuine.

Furthermore.

Chen Huaian had no obvious motive to lie.

In his current role as Chen Huaian's bound beast—what threat could he possibly pose?

Therefore, Chen Huaian's words had to be the truth!

The ruin!

If they could locate the ruin, they would find the variables!

He needed to relay this discovery to his brother immediately!

...

Burn to ashes.
