Chapter 2294: Virtual Void

Zu'an handed the Four Symbols Stone to Xie Daoyun. She had been studying this large-scale teleportation array for some time, and it was believed that no one present was more familiar with it than her.

After receiving the Four Symbols Stone, Xie Daoyun didn't immediately place it into the array. Instead, she looked at him with some hesitation.

"Brother Zu, aren't you going to disguise yourself as the True Demon Emissary?"

Zu'an was startled, realizing he had almost forgotten about this. "There have been too many things going on recently; I almost overlooked it. Thank you for the reminder, Ling'er."

After speaking, he directly activated the Art of Myriad Forms Transformation. His entire person, from his appearance to his stature, began to slowly change, and in the blink of an eye, the True Demon Emissary's likeness stood before the women.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, seeing him like this, the women still involuntarily stepped back and watched him warily, as if ready to act at any moment.

"Brother... Zu?" Pei Mianman tentatively asked.

Zu'an nodded: "It's me."

Hearing that familiar voice, the women finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They all gathered around him again, examining him up and down. Looking at his lifelike appearance, they all exclaimed in wonder.

Although they knew he had the ability to disguise himself and change, witnessing such a miraculous scene firsthand felt truly mind-boggling to everyone.

"Unfortunately, the voice isn't quite the same," Jiang Luofu frowned slightly, noting this was still a significant flaw.

"How about now?" Zu'an lightly coughed, and his voice quickly became frivolous. Previously, he had to rely on a voice changer to alter his voice, but now that he had mastered the Art of Myriad Forms Transformation, he no longer needed such trouble and could change it directly.

Hearing that familiar yet disgusting voice, Pei Mianman's expression turned slightly sour. "I can vouch for it," she said, "it's exactly like the True Demon Emissary's voice now."

"Is that so? Give me a smile, little lady." Zu'an's lips curved upward as he reached out a finger to hook her chin.

Pei Mianman instantly stepped back to avoid him. "Don't touch me with that disgusting face," she retorted.

Seeing her startled reaction, the people around burst into laughter.

Yun Yuqing said with a smile, "He really looks exactly the same now. The only thing missing is a bit more frivolity. Where are his maids and female slaves?"

Jiang Luofu: "..."

This woman, Yun Yuqing, truly seemed to delight in stirring up trouble.

"They're... they're here." At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi raised her hand, blushing. "What should I do?" she asked.

Everyone had been seizing the opportunity to cultivate and improve their cultivation levels during the recent period of abundant spiritual energy from the world's fusion. She had no time to receive training as a maid and was feeling incredibly nervous.

The women immediately suppressed their laughter. She truly was a naive and adorable person.

"It's okay, you just need to stand by Brother Zu," Yun Yuqing said, her eyes full of doting smiles. "This girl's gentle and cute demeanor needed no disguise; standing behind Zu'an, no one would find fault with her role."

"Oh." Ji Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately scurried to stand behind Zu'an, and feeling his broad back, she instantly felt a sense of calm.

Suddenly, she blinked. Were they just saying that her demeanor was very similar to a little maid's?

But if she could always be by Brother Zu's side, being a little maid seemed pretty good too.

"Sister Jiang, it's your turn." Yun Yuqing looked at her with a half-smile.

"From the looks of it, you're the one who really wants to be a female slave," Jiang Luofu retorted, giving her an annoyed glance.

"But this was clearly your idea," Yun Yuqing said, pursing her lips in a smile.

Jiang Luofu snorted and came to Zu'an's side. "Is this okay now?" she asked.

"Xiaoxi can just stand like that, but you can't. You need to be closer." Yun Yuqing's expression was a little mischievous.

Jiang Luofu's face flushed slightly. Although her thinking was mature and rational, being so close to a man still made her feel inevitably awkward.

Yun Yuqing rested her chin in her hand and observed them. "I still feel like something's not quite right," she mused. "What do you all think?"

Sorenshi and the others also frowned slightly. "It does seem like something's off," they agreed.

"I've got it!" Yun Yuqing circled the two of them, her eyes suddenly lighting up. Then she came up to them, took Zu'an's hand, and made him embrace Jiang Luofu. "This is how it should be!" she exclaimed.

Zu'an had embraced Jiang Luofu when he saved the Jiang family last time, but then the situation was chaotic, and his mind was entirely focused on the capital. Now, in this environment, holding her waist, he had to admit it was truly a mature and alluring body. Even through clothes, it was enough to make one's heart pound.

Feeling the warmth from his hand on her waist, Jiang Luofu also felt uneasy, her heart involuntarily beginning to pound rapidly.

The faster it beat, the more flustered she became. *Oh no,* she thought, *Ah Zu's cultivation is so high, he must be able to hear my heartbeat right now.*

"No, your hand isn't natural enough," Yun Yuqing's voice chimed in again. Then she pulled Zu'an's hand lower, placing it over Jiang Luofu's hip. Only then did she nod in satisfaction, declaring, "This fits the True Demon Emissary's persona better."

Seeing this scene, everyone present had strange expressions on their faces.

Pei Mianman felt a strange sensation, as if she were being cuckolded. Her lover was being "flirted with" right in front of her, yet she couldn't find a single fault with it, as the more convincingly the two acted, the safer everyone would be.

Xie Daoyun thought that if the students from the academy saw this scene, their eyes would probably pop out, and even other senior masters would likely react the same way. After all, she was a famously cold and stunning beauty who was in charge of discipline at the academy, always exuding an aura of untouchable dignity.

Ji Xiaoxi, on the other hand, felt both worried and touched. She knew her aunt had always disliked physical contact with men, so this was definitely a sacrifice made for her.

Sorenshi was a little distracted. *If I had known this,* she thought, *I wouldn't have chosen to be this 'saintess' from the start. It would have been much better to switch roles with her.*

Zu'an felt a bit apologetic at this point: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Yun Yuqing replied, "What's wrong with it? This is exactly how it should be. Since she's a female slave, why would the True Demon Emissary's hands be proper?"

Jiang Luofu took a deep breath. "She's right," she said. "This is all just to better complete the mission. Ah Zu, you don't need to overthink it."

Zu'an mused to himself, *I don't want to overthink it either,* but the astonishing sensation in his hand was truly unforgettable.

"Sister Jiang put it well," Yun Yuqing continued, "but if you could avoid that shy expression and instead maintain your usual dignified coldness, it would be even better. Ideally, you'd also reveal a tiny hint of disdain and disgust for the True Demon Emissary, mixed with a little helplessness. That would be even more reasonable."

Jiang Luofu: "???"

*I really want to pin this woman down and give her a good beating,* she thought. *Is that even a facial expression a person can make?*

"Yes, yes, exactly that expression!" Yun Yuqing's eyes lit up.

Jiang Luofu: "..."

However, after this charade, the two eventually grew accustomed to their new roles.

Embracing Jiang Luofu's mature and alluring body, Zu'an felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the days at Brightmoon Academy listening to Wei Suo boast.

*If that guy knew he was embracing his goddess right now, he'd probably be drooling with envy,* he mused.

"There's still another issue that could expose us," Pei Mianman suddenly said.

"What issue?" everyone asked, startled.

Pei Mianman's face flushed slightly, but she finally spoke: "Those True Demons seem to have a way to remotely discern if someone is a virgin..."

She didn't finish, but everyone already understood what she meant.

Jiang Luofu and Ji Xiaoxi had never been heard to have any romantic history, so they were certainly virgins. If the True Demons saw them, they would definitely suspect their identities as female slaves and maids, especially since someone like the True Demon Emissary would hardly be a gentleman.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Jiang Luofu's expression changed slightly: "This won't do..."

For the sake of the mission, she didn't mind the current embraces with Zu'an, but anything further would be too fast.

Besides, even if she was willing, she couldn't let Ji Xiaoxi enter such a dangerous situation.

Xie Daoyun lightly coughed: "I have a solution."

As she spoke, she immediately took out a brush and ink and drew a few talismans. "This talisman of mine can make it impossible for them to discern those things," she explained.

"That's good." Jiang Luofu's face flushed slightly, realizing how far her mind had wandered.

Zu'an's expression was strange. *If there was such a magical item in my previous life,* he mused, *wouldn't it have sold out on Taobao?*

After Xie Daoyun distributed the talismans to everyone, she then placed the White Tiger Stone into its corresponding altar.

Immediately afterward, Zu'an took out the array disk he had obtained from the True Demon Emissary, which began to emit a buzzing sound.

The surrounding array had already been completed by Xie Daoyun, and soon, it lit up ring by ring.

Feeling the fluctuations of spatial elements, everyone quickly held hands and huddled close together.

The next second, a blue light appeared beneath their feet, enveloping them, and then they instantly vanished from their spot.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves in a void.

Everyone present was a top figure of their generation, with sufficiently strong minds, but this was their first time using an inter-stellar teleportation array, and even Zu'an felt a bit nervous.

They were now enveloped by a special energy. The array disk emitted faint glows, forming a subtle connection with a certain direction ahead, pulling them towards it.

Zu'an looked around. He had initially thought he would see a beautiful starry sky or the universe, but it turned out he had thought too much. The surroundings were chaotic, with only various streaks of light rushing past.

At one moment, he even felt a trance, as if he were seeing the data stream effects from a computer in his previous life.

"Everyone, hold on tight," Xie Daoyun's nervous voice suddenly rang out. "If you fall out here, not only will your fate be unknown, but even if you somehow survive, you'll never be able to return."
