Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? - Chapter 324: Mountain Lord

Chapter 324: Mountain Lord

Chen Huaian had no idea that his threat toward Real Person Yuyao was about to cause Zhang Mengchu to “eat early,”

In more ways than one.

At the moment, he was sitting on the sofa in Containment Center No. 0,

Staring blankly at a human head planted in a flowerpot on the table.

“Kid, what are you staring at me for?!”

The bushy-bearded head locked eyes with Chen Huaian for a moment,

Then suddenly grinned wide, flashing his big teeth.

Chen Huaian silently pulled a Thunderfire Talisman from his player backpack,

His face dark as he moved to slap it onto Bushy Beard’s forehead.

“Hey! Kid, you trying to kill me?!”

Bushy Beard, whose head had sprouted from a Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid, trembled wildly.

But with such limited space, all he could do was desperately burrow deeper into the soil.

“Kid, I just got revived! If you didn’t want me around, why’d you even plant me again?”

Chen Huaian’s mouth twitched.

Deadpan, he said,

“Uncle, honestly, I think you’re underdeveloped.

Might as well fry you with lightning and replant you — maybe you’ll grow a proper body next time.”

He wasn’t just joking.

Back when he realized Bushy Beard might be reborn with a full body,

He had specially prepared a bigger flowerpot, mixing Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid with a little Nuwa Earth.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much Nuwa Earth,

And the surrounding soil was just ordinary —

Two completely different qualities.

While Nuwa Earth couldn’t be polluted and would even slowly “infect” the normal dirt,

Even with that, Bushy Beard still sprouted with…

A fully grown adult head

And a baby’s body.

Who the hell could stay calm seeing that?!

When Bushy Beard broke through the soil,

Even Chen Huaian got startled!

“Young man, don’t be so impatient,” Bushy Beard puffed up his cheeks and gave an awkward laugh.

“My body’s made from demonized cancer cells, you know — it grows crazy fast!

I prioritized developing the brain to avoid being born a dummy.

Most of the energy went into the head, that’s why I look like this.”

Chen Huaian sighed,

Pulling Bushy Beard out and replanting the Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid back into the soil.

“Well, you better be telling the truth…

But either way, welcome back.”

Half an hour later.

C Province Exorcist Division — Conference Hall.

“What?! You’re saying you’re the Governor of the C Province Exorcist Division now?!”

“What the hell? The noble families are almost wiped out?

All sorts of mysterious forces have popped up?!”

“Are you kidding me?!

The era of national cultivation is coming?

Then what the hell did we bust our a**es deciphering that Heavenly Palace Stone Tablet for the past ten years for?!”

Bushy Beard — still with an adult head and a baby body — sat in the middle of the meeting table,

Howling in disbelief again and again at the crazy news he was hearing,

While the others looked on with varying degrees of weird expressions.

“It counts as a roadside turd,” Zhao Ying pushed up her glasses,

Not even bothering to cushion the blow.

She said bluntly:

“Kunlun Heavenly Palace once said that the Breathing Technique,

Also known as the Return to Origin True Art,

Was the basic-level cultivation method for their most lowly servant disciples.

It was also used as an entrance test —

Those who couldn’t even master it should just resign themselves to remaining mortals.”

Bushy Beard slapped his knee in frustration.

“This era’s changing way too damn fast!

How long was I even dead for?!

Now you’re all Marshal-levels, and I don’t even count as Soldier-level…

I’m totally getting left behind.”

“It’s fine, Uncle!”

Lin Lingling smiled sweetly and reassured him:

“Uncle, your current look is perfect for being the mascot of our C Province Exorcist Division.”

“Lingling’s right,” Old Li nodded approvingly.

“You worked hard enough before.

Now it’s time to enjoy life.

No one’s gonna say you’re slacking.”

He was actually the biggest beneficiary of the Bone-Cleansing Pill in all of C Province Exorcist Division.

He had already been a martial artist before the Spiritual Revival,

And after the revival, awakened a body-enhancement ability.

Now with the Bone-Cleansing Pill,

His formerly aged body had rejuvenated overnight.

Though his face still carried an air of sage-like dignity,

He now stood a towering 1.8 meters tall,

With terrifying muscles rivaling those of a bodybuilder.

Bushy Beard looked at Old Li’s balloon-sized pectoral muscles and nearly passed out.

He didn’t want to be some stupid mascot!

He wanted to keep fighting!

Keep slaying monsters!

“Alright, quit scaring Uncle Bushy Beard,”

Chen Huaian tapped the table, then said to him seriously:

“Right now, the Exorcist Division is booming.

There’s no shortage of manpower,

Resources are plentiful —

Once your body fully matures,

This Venerable One will immediately assign you a stack of resources.

Th𝘪𝙨 ƈhⱥpţҽr ɩ𝓈 p𝖔𝘴𝓉ҽ∂ b𝕪 𝘬ḭ𝙩ɛη0ⱽ𝓮𝕝

You’ll catch up in strength in no time.”

Bushy Beard was so moved he almost cried.

He kept repeating,

“Chen boy, you’re the only one who understands gratitude.”

The group burst into laughter,

Enjoying a rare moment of peace and happiness in the midst of chaotic times.

However, just then —

The conference room door was suddenly knocked.

Two Soldier-level Exorcists entered, their expressions grave.

“Governor, Captain Zhao — urgent report,”

One of them said, stepping forward to hand over a file.

“This is the mission report for Mount Panlong.

The initial intel indicated a large number of wolf demons at Mount Panlong.

Since their strength seemed low,

We only dispatched a small squad of Master-level Exorcists.

Later, we lost all contact with them.

We raised the mission level and issued a search-and-rescue mission.”

“Recently, the mission was picked up by a squad of nine soldiers led by a Marshal-level officer.

At first, they maintained communication —

But an hour ago, they went completely dark too.”

“However, they did manage to upload some photos.

Permission to show them?”

He took out a USB drive and looked questioningly at Chen Huaian and Zhao Ying.

“Show us,” Zhao Ying said grimly, pushing the laptop toward him.

The Exorcist plugged in the drive and opened a folder.

Several photos popped onto the screen.

The first photo showed a towering black tower standing in the middle of a mountain valley,

At least a hundred zhang tall.

The tower was draped in soul-summoning flags and chains,

Black mist curling around it,

So thick it blackened the skies above,

Completely separating it from the surrounding weather.

The second photo showed a tiger-headed humanoid monster —

Its massive body half-hidden in the forest,

Broad back facing the camera.

Even through the photo,

The raging demonic energy around it warped the very air.

“Was it this tiger demon that killed them?” Zhao Ying asked the Exorcist.

But the Exorcist suddenly fell silent —

And began trembling strangely.

On the screen —

The tiger-headed monster in the photo suddenly turned its head.

Its blood-soaked tiger face

Loomed close to the camera,

Its crimson eyes seeming to pierce through the screen,

Staring straight into the conference room.

Before anyone could react to how the “photo” had suddenly turned into a video…

The tiger demon’s bloody maw split into a twisted grin.

And then —

It spoke.

“Interesting!

You lot — you’re the Exorcist Division, right?

What’s your relationship with the Demon Suppression Division?”

“Eh, never mind…

I’ve memorized each and every one of your faces…”

“The Demon-Locking Tower has been opened —

You’re all…

Going…

To die!”

As its voice fell,

The screen suddenly shattered like glass.

The two Exorcists who had brought the file

Collapsed onto the floor,

Blood pouring from all seven orifices.
