Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 669: Introduction

Chapter 669: Introduction

...

Chen Huaian departed, leaving Lin Fan to handle his own tasks. A turbulent aura, a chaotic blend of demonic essence and Buddhist strength, had already begun to radiate outward. Even a complete novice like Lin Fan could sense exactly who his opponent would be today.

Lin Fan was far from foolish.

He had even donned a complete set of night-stealth gear.

Furthermore, he had swapped his primary sword for a massive hammer.

This was no ordinary tool; it was a high-grade spirit artifact great hammer, meticulously crafted for heavy combat.

With Lin Fan settled in his position.

Chen Huaian relocated to a different spot, triggered the Electronic Girlfriend’s Divine Wandering in the Void ability, and summoned Li Qingran to his side.

He felt confident in this move because their passionate, intimate encounters over the last few days had boosted Li Qingran’s affection level to ♡♡♥♥♥♥. Consequently, Divine Wandering in the Void could now be utilized four times and had gained a new attribute.

[Divine Wandering in the Void: The Electronic Girlfriend can manifest next to the player. Depending on the current affection level, she can take physical form and gains one fatal protection—this means she will be instantly teleported back to the Cangyun Realm if she takes a lethal blow, or she can manually activate this protection to return home immediately.]

This was how the game interface described the updated Divine Wandering in the Void ability.

To Chen Huaian, this was essentially giving Li Qingran a legendary survival blade.

Coupled with her ability to retreat to the Cangyun Realm in an instant.

It meant his strategies for capturing the Celestial Jade Marrow could be far more daring today.

Li Qingran was the hidden trump card he had readied for the Great Thunder Temple.

Didn't they enjoy tracking down variables?

I wonder what look the mastermind behind the Great Thunder Temple will have when they realize the two variables they were watching haven't even appeared, and the true wild card is someone else entirely.

The primary goal, however, was the resource war.

With four uses of Divine Wandering in the Void, Li Qingran could grab at least four portions of the top-grade Celestial Jade Marrow.

Lin Fan was expected to secure another four.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng would assist Hua Jin the True One in obtaining two—totaling exactly ten pieces of premium Celestial Jade Marrow. This would be a perfect split, leaving the Great Thunder Temple’s Demon Immortal without even a drop of leftover soup.

Naturally, this was merely Chen Huaian’s ideal strategy.

The actual outcome would be dictated by the flow of the upcoming struggle.

"Master~" Li Qingran emerged from a rift in space, gliding toward Chen Huaian and circling him once. A delicate, elegant perfume immediately filled the air around them.

It stirred a familiar restlessness in Chen Huaian.

Their frequent dual cultivation sessions had intensified the magnetic pull between them.

Now, simply catching a whiff of her scent triggered a powerful desire to engage in dual cultivation once more.

Li Qingran felt the exact same way.

Just looking at Chen Huaian without a word was enough to make her heart race uncontrollably.

"Master, how much longer until the Celestial Jade Marrow appears?"

Li Qingran clung to Chen Huaian’s arm, her lovely face resting against his sturdy chest as she inhaled his scent deeply. The look she gave him was already filled with a deep, intimate yearning.

Hearing her question, Chen Huaian looked toward the horizon where purple energy was slowly swirling.

"Probably... about two more hours..."

The purple mist hadn't reached its full density yet.

Usually, when the purple energy on the horizon begins to shimmer with flecks of gold, it signals that the treasure is ready to manifest.

"Still that long..." Li Qingran’s eyes sparkled with a playful light as she tugged on Chen Huaian’s hand and whispered: "Master, we have two hours to kill. We shouldn't let this time go to waste; we should seize the chance to cultivate properly."

"That is a valid point," Chen Huaian agreed wholeheartedly.

Given they were facing the schemes of cosmic destiny and fate.

Surviving this required immense personal power.

Not a second could be squandered—cultivation was a necessity.

He promptly established a high-level Spirit Gathering Formation. This was the peak time for the 'purple energy from the east,' when the world's spiritual energy was most potent. Even though they weren't at the very center of the basin, it was a prime spot, and the formation would amplify the benefits significantly.

However, he had barely settled into a cross-legged position.

When Li Qingran climbed into his lap.

Seeing her wrapped around him like a supple watersnake, Chen Huaian tried to suppress his rising heat: "Qingran, didn't you say we were going to cultivate properly? How am I supposed to find inner peace with you clinging to me like this?"

"There are many paths to cultivation." Li Qingran leaned against him, grazing his Adam's apple with her teeth, and whispered with a flushed face: "Which path did Master... think Qingran was talking about?"

Chen Huaian reached his breaking point.

He quickly purchased a powerful concealment formation from the Electronic Girlfriend shop and threw it down, completely masking a fifty-meter area from the outside world.

"Fine then, you've left your master with no choice!"

"Hehe~ Master... watch the clock~ We can't be late~"

...

Two hours passed.

Chen Huaian stepped out from the concealment field with a look of utmost seriousness.

Just as he had anticipated, the purple energy at the horizon had reached its peak, now glowing with brilliant gold. Distant thunder echoed through the air, and the earth beneath them began to vibrate softly.

—The Celestial Jade Marrow was about to surface.

"You can come out now, the coast is clear."

He called out to the space behind him.

After a moment, Li Qingran walked out of the array, wearing a simple white dress and smoothing her hair.

She appeared even more radiant and alluring than before, her skin looking so supple and pale that it seemed a single touch would leave a mark. The blush on her cheeks remained, and her eyes shimmered with a lingering passion as she fixed her gaze solely on Chen Huaian.

Her world revolved entirely around him.

Nothing else mattered except her master.

"Master, your disciple senses the Celestial Jade Marrow is coming." She took his hand, gazing toward the east where Hua Jin the True One and the Demon Immortal avatar from the Great Thunder Temple were locked in a standoff: "Let me handle the first wave. Elder Lin is very powerful and should be kept as our secret weapon.

If Elder Lin acts first and alerts Hua Jin and the Demon Immortal, it will be much harder for me to catch them off guard later."

Initially, Chen Huaian hadn't intended for Li Qingran to lead the charge; he wanted Lin Fan to gauge the Demon Immortal avatar's strength first.

But after hearing her logic, he realized she was right.

Li Qingran was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. A hit-and-run tactic would be most effective if the enemy underestimated her.

Powerhouses like Hua Jin the True One and the Demon Immortal wouldn't be on high alert against someone who seemed to only be at the Nascent Soul level.

"Very well, you take the first wave." Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes and led Li Qingran toward the center of the basin.

As they drew closer to the heart of the conflict, they split up.

Chen Huaian joined Hua Jin the True One’s group, taking a position behind her.

Meanwhile, Li Qingran donned a veil and slipped into the ranks of the Ascenders on the edge of the battlefield.

They locked eyes from across the distance, sharing a silent moment of perfect understanding.

"Senior Chen, where did you disappear to?" Hua Jin the True One sniffed the air with a puzzled look and remarked playfully: "Senior Chen is quite the romantic, finding time for a tryst right before a major conflict? You must be incredibly confident about winning the Celestial Jade Marrow today."

Hua Jin the True One wasn't mocking him.

She truly believed Chen Huaian had found a woman to pass the time with before the fight.

To her, that meant the situation was firmly under control.

"Ahaha... Your Eminence is too kind." Chen Huaian sheepishly cupped his hands: "My wife is at a very demanding age, so I must prioritize her needs whenever possible."

Upon hearing this, Hua Jin the True One gave a knowing look and teased: "I haven't had the pleasure of meeting your wife yet. She must be a legendary beauty to keep you so distracted. When will you introduce her to this junior?"
