Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 778: The Hand Extended by Cangyun
Previously on Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?...
"Damn it."
Chen Huaian, positioned in front of the Canglan Mirror, realized immediately after Li Qingran's words that the situation had spiraled out of control. "You foolish girl, why spin such a tale?"
He let out a heavy sigh.
Li Qingran stayed far too innocent.
Moreover, he had shielded her excessively, leaving her with little exposure to the outside world's harsh realities.
Nevertheless, the Canglan world remained utterly foreign. For Li Qingran to describe her background plainly without any twists was nearly out of the question.
Suspicion from others was entirely expected.
The real issue lay in handling the mess at hand.
Should these two Soul Masters decide to probe further, they would surely pose additional inquiries.
Each question would expose more inconsistencies in Li Qingran's account.
【Limited Time Offer! Purchase one Mind-Baffling Talisman to help your Electronic Girlfriend muddle through!】
【Today's Special — 88 top-grade spirit jade / Talisman】
Chen Huaian: "..."
"Buy it!"
【Payment successful. Item has been sent to your character's backpack.】
Chen Huaian checked his backpack and spotted a talisman that stood out starkly from anything in the Cangyun Realm.
The components for crafting this talisman obviously came from outside the Cangyun Realm, and the aura it radiated wasn't True Essence at all.
If his guess held true, it had to be Battle Power...
This Electronic Girlfriend proved incredibly versatile, capable of generating tools functional even in a small-scale realm.
In that case, weren't all the talismans and artifacts he had loaded into Li Qingran's possession before she left just a joke?
【Mind-Baffling Talisman: After use, can disrupt the designated target's mind, making the target firmly believe everything before their eyes. (Dragon King's product, guaranteed quality — This item can only be used under the Laws of the Canglan Realm.)】
What rubbish about a 'Dragon King's product'?
He could just as well claim to be a descending immortal master!
Chen Huaian pointed at the Soul Master in the Canglan Mirror, whose brows were knit and a trace of chill lingered in his gaze.
He dragged the talisman over the man's head and hit 'Use'.
*Hummm—!*
A faint, barely perceptible wave of divine power dropped from one of the suns overhead.
The Soul Master questioning Li Qingran's background watched as the doubt and examination faded from his eyes, his expression turning clear in an instant.
"So that's how it is... It all adds up now."
He turned to Yang Fei, who still appeared anxious, and clarified, "Madam, World Beasts hold spiritual awareness, particularly the stronger varieties. Their presence, even their Vital Essence, can affect humans who linger near them over long durations. Miss Li grew up alongside a mighty World Beast. She might have accidentally ingested some exotic spirit fruit brimming with odd forces, or perhaps soaked in the energy field that beast emitted for years, leading to quiet shifts in her bloodline prior to its awakening. Such alterations not only earned her the beast's safeguard but also shaped her eventual Battle Soul form. This represents a rare boon, not any flaw."
Yang Fei nodded, a bit puzzled.
She sensed vaguely that something didn't quite fit...
Did a World Beast truly rear Li Qingran?
Li Qingran's bloodline altered under the World Beast's sway, meaning... the World Beast took the form of a sword?
Before Yang Fei could ponder more, the Soul Master went on, "Miss Li clearly enjoys deep luck. A sword-like Battle Soul, brimming with ferocity, vast promise, combined with innate maxed-out Soul Power... her prospects are boundless! The Flame Boar Family erred badly this round."
Upon hearing that, Yang Fei finally exhaled deeply, clutching Li Qingran's hand firmly as hope and pride sparked back in her eyes.
As long as her child remained out of danger, as long as this posed no blemish, nothing could surpass that relief.
Li Qingran inwardly released a breath too, discreetly dabbing the light sweat from her palms.
That account had just scraped by to patch the gaps.
She shot the two Soul Masters an odd glance — did everyone in this realm possess such talent for weaving their own details?
Her narrative clearly had several gaps...
Yet those gaps got patched and leveled by the Soul Masters' own inventions.
...
In front of the Canglan Mirror.
Chen Huaian also eased with a relieved breath.
"This talisman... works remarkably well. Too bad it's restricted to the Canglan World. Imagine if mind-muddling talismans like this existed on Earth Star or in the Cangyun Realm." Chen Huaian rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then broke into a string of sly, mischievous laughs, as if a naughty idea had struck him.
【Dear, are you satisfied with this product?】
A notification box emerged in Chen Huaian's view.
【If you are satisfied, dear, please give the product a five-star review~】
Chen Huaian: "???"
Hold on, what? Had the Electronic Girlfriend Game rolled out some fresh feature?
Previously, buying items from the Electronic Girlfriend store or opting for premium features met with the game's cool detachment, as if saying 'take it or leave it'.
Now it begged for positive feedback?!
"What if This Venerable One refuses to rate it highly?" Chen Huaian blurted out without thinking.
【Please, dear, you must give a good review! If you have any dissatisfaction with the product, we can change it!】
【Dear, if there's no good review, we will face very severe punishment!】
"Absurd!" Chen Huaian chuckled in disbelief.
Indeed, the speechless often burst into laughter.
Could the Electronic Girlfriend Game truly hold its vendors hostage?
Staring at the review interface that appeared, he deliberately slapped it with a negative score.
Once the bad review went through, a new prompt demanded an explanation.
Chen Huaian squinted, a wicked grin twisting his lips.
...
Meanwhile, in the Canglan Realm — Divine Realm.
Within a grand palace, the battered Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King each gripped a phone, sprawled on the floor.
Their injuries looked recent, evidence of a fresh thrashing.
Right then, the Golden Dragon King's enormous claw painstakingly pecked out the letters spelling 'dear'.
Before it added more, a negative review alert flashed.
【Super Bad Review! Talisman not big enough, materials not smooth enough, price too expensive, poor user experience!】
【Most importantly: Customer service reply speed is too slow! Making This Venerable One wait over ten seconds every time! Do you know how precious This Venerable One's time is?!】
"It's finished!" The Golden Dragon King's spirits plummeted with a heavy thud. It gazed skyward, terror flooding its eyes.
Nearby, the Silver Dragon King kept jabbing at its phone, grumbling, "Cursed claw, speed up and finish typing, argh..."
Abruptly, an overwhelming force pressed down from above.
The Silver Dragon King's claw froze, its face twisting in dread as it stared at the heavens.
From the light golden mists crowning the Divine Realm, a golden slit pupil laced with red lightning pierced through the clouds.
That slit pupil brimmed with raw authority and lethal menace.
"Upper God! We have already done as requested!" Spotting the golden slit pupil, the Golden Dragon King dropped to its knees at once, banging its head on the ground over and over.
"Yes, Upper God, the effect was achieved too! We cannot accept this bad review!" The Silver Dragon King scrambled to kneel as well, flattening itself in submission.
It wasn't that they had abandoned all pride as Dragon Kings.
They had tried asserting their pride. The result? Swollen and sore all over.
And utterly powerless to resist, it was pure domination on one side.
At first, upon reconnecting with the Cangyun Realm, they had quietly rejoiced, pondering ways to grow the divine network within the Canglan World.
But soon after...
Before they could make contact.
They got contacted instead and savagely pummeled by the Cangyun Realm's immortals.
