"Dear Master, the Qi Cards and Weapon Cards you requested have been successfully crafted."

Big Big Wolf handed the white card box to Qin Shou. He glanced at the various weapons scattered across the floor and his wolfish face turned black.

"Dear Master, if you keep this up, I won't have time to go on dates with my darling wife."

Qin Shou glared, "As a man, you should prioritize your career above all else. How can you indulge in romance? Do you still want the green grassland or not?"

"I want it, I want it! Rest assured, Master, this Wolf King will ensure the task is completed."

Big Big Wolf gathered up all the weapons and dashed into the lab, finally satisfying Qin Shou, who smiled in approval.

By crafting various Qi Cards using the natives of the Heavenly Artifact Continent, Qin Shou could transform the Light and Dark Energy within his body into corresponding Qi, making himself a genuine cultivator of the Heavenly Artifact Continent.

With this, Qin Shou's disguise became even more perfect.

Counting the Qi Cards in his hand, he realized he had accumulated nearly all attributes of Qi. However, there was still time, so he planned to do a few more jobs before stopping.

Clicking the Communicator, a virtual map unfolded before Qin Shou.

"I've secured the Gold Attribute from the Golden Spear Sect. The closest sect now is the Jade Maiden Sect, a branch of the Sword Sect. The Jade Maiden Sword is Water Attribute, suitable for both attack and defense. But since I already have a Water Attribute Qi Card, I'll skip it for now..."

"Still, I heard the Senior Sister of the Sword Sect is recruiting outstanding disciples at the Jade Maiden Sect. Maybe..."

Qin Shou stroked his chin. If he could follow the Senior Sister of the Sword Sect into the main sect, he might have a chance to obtain a Demigod Realm cultivation technique.

As for impersonation...

He had tried before, but undercover work on the Heavenly Artifact Continent was far from easy.

Impersonating sect disciples to obtain cultivation techniques simply didn't work. A fake would always remain fake. Although his outsider identity could fool the Heavenly Dao Consciousness, the sect disciple identity couldn't be validated.

Even if sect disciples couldn't uncover Qin Shou's true identity, as long as a sect disciple taught Qin Shou any cultivation techniques, the Heavenly Dao Consciousness would label them as traitors and unleash punishment.

The severity of this punishment was enough to make even Qin Shou's heart tremble. A few blows would be unbearable even for a Divine Realm Expert.

If it were that simple, Qin Shou could have erased the Heavenly Dao punishment with brute force during the penalty itself.

After careful research, Qin Shou devised a new plan.

...

Back mountain of the Jade Maiden Sect.

Deep within the dense forest, after an indescribable encounter, a pair of young lovers whispered to each other.

"Duan Lang, we've been in contact too often lately. Third Senior Sister is starting to get suspicious. A few days ago, she even tried tailing me. If I hadn't been cautious, I'd have been caught."

Resting in the man's arms, the woman spoke with a worried expression.

Duan Lang's face darkened, but his words were comforting: "Qing, there's no need to fear your Third Senior Sister too much. We genuinely love each other. You're close with your Third Senior Sister, so even if she finds out, I don't think she'll harm you."

Qing shook her head. "Duan Lang, you don't understand. She's completely loyal to the master. If she discovers our affair, neither of us will live. After all, you're officially the master's concubine..."

As soon as these words were spoken, a sudden noise emerged from the shadows.

Both of their faces changed, rising swiftly to glare at the darkened area.

"Who's there? Come out!"

Duan Lang's expression turned vicious as he struck out with his palm. A massive water mist transformed into a giant python, smashing a nearby giant stone to pieces.

"Boom..."

With debris flying, a red-haired man emerged awkwardly, waving his hand.

"Well… I was just passing by. Do you… believe me?"

Qin Shou explained while covering his mouth to suppress a laugh.

Duan Lang, the master's concubine...

What a ridiculous mess.

Originally, Qin Shou had only been passing by. Who would've thought this 'unexpected delight' would become new teaser material for future jokes?

Meanwhile, the two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with lethal intent.

"Hiss!!"

"Ching!"

In a flash, neither had time to put on their clothes. Each summoned a sky-blue longsword, which carried a torrential water mist to engulf Qin Shou.

"Hey, hey, hey, I promise I won't tell anyone. You really don't need to resort to killing me, do you?"

Qin Shou leapt backward while pulling out the Magenta Camera. With a "click," he snapped a shot of both figures.

Hmm, it's just an undercover habit. Nothing more.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

The area enveloped by the mist emitted strange and terrifying sounds, forming a giant pit in the ground as it corroded.

Qin Shou's eyes lit up. These two swords aren't bad at all.

Seeing Qin Shou avoid their attack with ease, the two were shocked but acted quickly, joining forces to go after him again.

"Hah..."

Their swords spun, unleashing black python-shaped phantom shadows that lunged toward Qin Shou ferociously.

Shaking his head, Qin Shou retreated swiftly and donned a golden mask.

"You've forced my hand—this isn't single-dog jealousy, mind you."

"Roar!!"

The Void trembled as a fearsome tiger's roar echoed through the forest. A three-meter Flying Tiger sprinted across the Void, its ring-like wings spinning rapidly behind it. Two Energy Crystals revolved at its center, suffusing the golden beast's body with radiance. Slowly, a golden amber saber floated into Qin Shou's palm.

Divine Weapon Tiger Spirit!

"Slash!!"

Gripping Tiger Spirit, Qin Shou's aura surged wildly. With a dramatic swing of the golden blade energy, the tiger's roar shook the Void, shattering the two black python shadows.

"What's this…?"

"What kind of Spiritual Artifact can amplify Qi to this extent?"

The duo gasped in shock, but before they could react, another tiger's roar came forth, unleashing a storm of energy that sent them retreating pale-faced while hurriedly pulling clothes from their Storage Jade.

The snow-white sword energy that now clashed with amber blade energy surprised Qin Shou greatly. Resting his Tiger Spirit Saber on his shoulder, he casually scanned the horizon, where a snowy figure swiftly emerged.

Her nearly perfect face gleamed with a quintessential 'main character' aura, dressed in a flowing snow-white gown adorned with gold lotus accents, her aura as cold as someone from a painting come to life...

Qin Shou's eyes showed a flicker of confusion as the figure stirred faint memories within him.

Mars Girl!

During his first-ever journey to Mars, he'd encountered a once-in-millennia Cosmic Mirage...

Could she be a disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect?

Instinctively, Qin Shou moved his right hand behind his back.

There… now she shouldn't recognize me!

...

"Hiss..."

The sword's hum echoed across the sky as the snowy maiden stood tall above, floating atop nearly invisible snow-white lotuses.

Giving the pale-faced pair a cold glance, she asked with indifference: "Why are you fighting?"

Duan Lang's eyes flickered before he angrily pointed at Qin Shou, roaring with indignation: "Senior Sister Lin, you must stand up for Junior Sister Qing! This beast… this scum infiltrated the back mountain intending to defile Junior Sister Qing! When I caught him, he revealed his murderous intent to silence us. If you hadn't arrived, we'd already be…"

His voice quivered with terror as he lowered his head, simultaneously shooting Qing a signaling glance.

Understanding his cue, Qing squeezed out a few tears and knelt down imploringly: "Senior Sister Lin, though our Jade Maiden Sect is a branch of the Sword Sect, you, as the Sword Sect's Senior Sister, must deliver justice for your Junior Sister."

Hearing this, Qin Shou raised a brow. Not a Jade Maiden Sect disciple, but the Sword Sect's Senior Sister.

Well, well, what a coincidence!

As for Lin Ke, her beautiful, detached gaze showed no emotion.

She asked: "Is that so? Then what happened to your clothes before I arrived?"

Their faces turned grim. Duan Lang suddenly pretended to cry, throwing his arms around himself pitifully.

"He… he didn't just target Junior Sister Qing. He also wanted to assault me… sob sob sob… Senior Sister Lin, you have to avenge us..."

Qing: "..."

Qin Shou: "..."

Lin Ke: "..."

Qin Shou blinked and was almost compelled to applaud Duan Lang.

A standout among the mudstreams of the Heavenly Artifact Continent. Shamelessness rivaling Qin Shou's own—truly hard not to admire!

Lin Ke's serene gaze betrayed a ripple of interest as she turned to Qin Shou.

"Any defense?"

Qin Shou coughed, standing tall: "I'm innocent."

"How will you prove it? If guilty, your attempted murder of Jade Maiden Sect disciples condemns you outright. You will not leave here alive today." Lin Ke replied.

Thinking for a moment, Qin Shou's face lit with confidence: "I'm a virgin, so I couldn't have done something like that."

Upon hearing this, all three faces froze.

Before Lin Ke could speak, Qin Shou slapped his forehead.

"Damn, what's wrong with me? Why the nervous explanation? My character arc almost crumbled!"

After silently berating himself for a moment, Qin Shou casually transitioned into a taunting posture, channeling his abundant Qi into the Tiger Spirit Saber's blade infused with Light and Dark Energy.

"Sword Sect's Senior Sister, let's play a little!"
