Searchers in the Cloud-Touching Forest grapple with locating the elusive Evil Dragon, likening it to finding a moving needle in a haystack. Bai Yan offers vague assurances amid the challenge, while the dragon lurks in a lake, boasting of its superiority and plotting to evade or devour its foes. Qian Jiyun, Bai Yan, and An Jiuyue secretly plan a detour to nearby lakes, debating routes and deciding to deploy undetectable Paper Persons to guard and stall the beast.

"That’s a good idea."

Qian Jiyun chuckled upon hearing those words. The Paper Persons would certainly spare them plenty of hassle.

"However, Paper Persons do have their weaknesses," he cautioned.

"Don’t worry, I’ll buy the most expensive ones."

An Jiuyue shot him a confident glance. Even if Paper Persons carried flaws, could the Evil Dragon possibly spot them?

"We just need to hold off the Evil Dragon for a few hours anyway, it’s not long. Even if there are weaknesses, they won’t be found in a short time. Or how about this, I bring out the Beastmen to stir things up a bit?"

She figured this plan ought to be airtight, didn’t she?

"Beastmen? Which Beastmen?"

Bai Yan inquired in bewilderment. The Beastmen present here—how could they possibly draw the Evil Dragon’s notice?

"Even the Lord of Fan City wouldn’t catch the Evil Dragon’s eye, sis-in-law. This method isn’t really feasible. How about we think of another delay tactic?"

He proposed.

Qian Jiyun cast a look at him after hearing that.

"I’m not talking about you all."

She meant genuine Beastmen, hybrids born from demonic beasts and humans, exceptionally mighty and distinctive.

He was certain that real Beastmen’s appearance would pique the Evil Dragon’s curiosity, granting them sufficient time to arrive at the lake and confront it.

Bai Yan: "..."

If not them, then whom?

Could anyone else truly captivate the Evil Dragon? It was fierce enough to unleash a beast tide and nearly assault Fan City.

"Then... who is it?"

He held back before uttering the question.

The answer would reveal itself soon enough, so no need to hurry.

"Then shall we proceed in this direction?" he asked, tracing his right index finger over the leather map.

"We can."

Qian Jiyun nodded in agreement.

...

"Pharmacist, how is our Little Junior Sister doing? What exactly is she poisoned with?"

Fifth Senior Brother lingered behind the summoned alchemist, murmuring as he slyly tucked an item into the alchemist’s sleeve.

Shrewd as he was, the alchemist grasped the intent immediately. One hand pocketed Fifth Senior Brother’s gift, while the other gripped the lake-caught fish—exactly like the one Little Junior Sister had consumed—his brows furrowed deeply.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Spotting the alchemist’s distressed face, Little Junior Sister grew even more restless.

Without Second Senior Brother—who had nearly healed from his wounds—restraining her, she’d have charged forward and socked the alchemist.

"Pharmacist, just tell us, we can handle it. Is there really something wrong with the fish?" Fifth Senior Brother eyed the hysterical Little Junior Sister, inwardly chiding her.

Still, he sensed his own attitude had shifted dramatically. Back then...

No, as a decent fellow now, he ought not dwell on his past idiocies. Moving forward, he and Little Junior Sister would keep their paths separate, linked only by their sect camaraderie.

At those words, the alchemist glanced at Little Junior Sister, then scanned the rest.

"You all ate this fish and nothing happened?"

Though he’d accepted the offering from the man before him, being an alchemist meant safeguarding his prestige. If all had devoured the fish without issue, yet this haughty girl alone suffered, wouldn’t that tarnish his name?

Thus, he sought confirmation first to shape his forthcoming words.
