Chapter 127: Removed.
—
Shivering at the thought of becoming too extreme, Ying Yue exclaimed, "Luckily Yue is just a normal woman, so my subconscious mind will not easily fall into these circumstances of manipulation. Unlike my variant, Rowena, who followed an extreme logical mindset and was killed by Master's deprecated and dying Dao Ancestors who did not follow any logical method at all."
Hearing Ying Yue's exclamation, Tian Xing nodded in silent acknowledgment. He then said to the two of them, "Let's go to the place where Yelena previously fought and create evidence of an explosive increase in strength. After that, we will leave this place for good and postpone retrieving the other half of the concealment treasure from the woman named Daji. Master doesn't want to be anywhere near one of the fated Heaven Chosen, lest we be dragged into a spiral of the butterfly effect, especially since this is an earlier point in that person's life, which will surely be full of twists and turns. Master hates it when he becomes part of those twists and turns."
Hearing her master's reluctance to meet with the Heaven Chosen and subsequently Daji, who might be part of the search party, Ying Yue couldn't help but ask, "But Master, if Yue can guess, isn't this a perfect story for the protagonist to meet his first and second Dao companions? Because Sisters Yelena and Daji have the treasure that the Heaven Chosen needs to escape from the Soul Refining Sect's clutches? And then, after escaping from the sect through various scenarios, where Sisters Yelena and Daji become friends again, could they become the Heaven Chosen's lovers?"
Stunned by the realization and finally seeing the simulated story more clearly, Tian Xing looked at Yelena oddly and said, "You are right, Yue; why didn't I think of that?" Shaking his head, realizing he had forgotten the vast knowledge of common tropes present in many variants of the modern world, he then said to Yelena, "Come, Yelena, let's remove that dagger from your forehead. It is an untapped treasure for the Heaven Chosen and a ticking time bomb for us, as we were not fated to wield it."
Shivering in fright, knowing this is the only thing currently of value to her, Yelena asked in fear, "B-but Master, without this, I will become just a normal woman with a bit of expertise. I don't have anything special within me, and my mind is not bright enough to understand the underlying principle of the concealment dagger. If it is removed, how am I supposed to repay Master's kindness? I am afraid I will become just a burden with no functionality at all."
Shaking his head, even though without the dagger she is still among the top one thousand in terms of concealment compared to countless powerful beings in the multiverse, Tian Xing walked closer to gently kiss her on the cheek and said, "You are selling yourself short, my Yelena. Even without this dagger, you are still one of the best in terms of concealment compared to many people in the future."
Seeing her downcast expression, probably thinking she is not the highest ranked like Ying Yue and him in their respective fields, Tian Xing pinched her nose and said, "Moreover, my Yelena, you don't need to be sad. The dagger is just an auxiliary tool. And look, Master and Yue can still achieve a higher level of comprehension without any treasures at all. I believe you can achieve the same as we did because I know you definitely can."
Noticing her slight smile and calculating that the ranking had moved from the top one thousand to the top one hundred due to the simple motivation, Tian Xing then provided her with information that moved the ranking to the top ten instead. Producing a simulated invisible dagger in his hand using his Shen energy, Tian Xing chuckled and said, "And also… Who said Master isn't getting anything out of this? Look, this is the comprehension I copied when I employed the Origin Return domain for the first time."
Eyes widening as she felt the invisible replica of the treasure in her forehead, Yelena chuckled at her master's method of making someone else power his own without them even realizing it. Seeing this replica meant her master didn't need to make her his concubine, as her usefulness and benefit had already been copied, creating a scenario where her master truly wanted her rather than the treasure in her forehead. Falling into his embrace, she silently inhaled his slightly warm breath and resolved to do whatever it took to become the most useful tool for her master.
Tian Xing, after checking the calculations again and confused as to why it had suddenly moved into the top five, thought it might be due to some conviction in his beloved's heart that he didn't want to know about, as reading minds spoils the fun of experiences. He turned toward Yue, who currently had a jealous expression. Dragging her closer to shower her with kisses, Tian Xing then said to both of them, "Okay, now that everything is settled, let's remove this treasure from Yelena's forehead and create false evidence of the sudden surge in power before we leave this place for good."
Giggling after being kissed numerous times by her master, with her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment despite thinking she was immune to it, Ying Yue then couldn't help but ask, "But Master, what should we do with the dagger after it is removed? Should we leave it here or bring it with us and place it somewhere else so that someone can have a fortuitous encounter with it?"
Using a minuscule but sophisticated amount of Shen energy to pluck the symbols from Yelena's forehead and caressing the true invisible dagger for a moment, Tian Xing said, "We will leave it here, preferably in the place where the battlefield was. The fortuitous person is already coming this way, so there is no need to search for another one. Also, we must ensure the place where it is positioned can only be picked up by someone with strong luck, like the Heaven Chosen, because of how unusual and strange the place is."
