Cheng Xiaofan nodded at Mirror's words, his expression solemn. "The medical techniques I've taught you already incorporate the application of the Demon Bone Saber technique. From now on, it will depend on your progress in cultivation."
"Once you achieve mastery, you can become both a skilled physician and a formidable martial artist, capable of treating all sorts of difficult illnesses and subduing evil!"
Mirror replied, "Master, I will definitely work hard and never disappoint you!"
Cheng Xiaofan continued, "I also need to tell you, as a leader in the martial cultivation world, when you practice medicine for others, you must know your limits. Don't treat everyone who falls ill."
Mirror nodded earnestly. "Master, I will engrave every word you say in my heart and never forget it for a lifetime."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Mirror, do you know why I wanted to establish a new sect leader on Folsman Island?"
Mirror smiled and said, "Of course, I know. It's for your use!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was momentarily speechless.
This girl Mirror, despite her outwardly shy appearance, was actually very straightforward.
She never beat around the bush, saying exactly what she thought.
However!
Cheng Xiaofan greatly admired people with such a personality.
Noticing Cheng Xiaofan staring at her without speaking, Mirror added, "Master, from now on, even I am yours to use, however you wish!"
Cheng Xiaofan wanted to establish a new sect leader in the demonic cultivation world for his own use, naturally.
But Mirror's last sentence was too profound, leaving Cheng Xiaofan unsure how to respond.
"Master, why aren't you speaking?" Mirror asked, puzzled. "Is it because you're not satisfied with what I said?"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly nodded. "Satisfied, of course, I'm very satisfied with what you said!"
He looked up at the sky. "Mirror, it's getting late. Your sister must be waiting for us to go back for dinner!"
"Alright, let's go back for dinner!" Mirror said, taking Cheng Xiaofan's arm and skipping along, her long hair flowing in the wind.
This made Cheng Xiaofan quite embarrassed.
*I'm your master, can't you be a bit more serious?*
*Your behavior makes me feel like I'm your brother, or even your lover!*
Actually, Cheng Xiaofan knew it wasn't Mirror's fault. His current physique, after several modifications, was undeniably charming to women.
He even suspected he was secretly admired by countless women.
He could imagine that in his previous life as Shennong the Great on Earth, he must have been surrounded by countless beauties.
He had forgotten to ask the Demon Ancestor about this when they met in a dream.
After all, this was no longer that era.
It would be impossible for him to be like that now.
*Ugh!*
*How did I start thinking about such things?*
As Cheng Xiaofan was berating himself, he realized they were nearing the back entrance of the inn.
He quickly pulled his arm out of Mirror's grasp. "Mirror, I am your master. We need to maintain a certain distance in front of others!"
Mirror heard this and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, Master. When no one else is around, we can be as intimate as we like!"
"..." What kind of statement was that?
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but cry out to the heavens!
How could this girl Mirror misinterpret his words so completely?
How was he supposed to explain it to her!
*Forget it!*
*No more arguing with her!*
"Mr. Cheng, Mirror, you're back?" Lorain greeted them with a smile as they entered the house.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded. "Is the Demon Lamp Elder old?"
Lorain quickly replied, "He's here and waiting for you in the dining room!"
Upon entering the dining room, Cheng Xiaofan found four elders seated there besides the Demon Lamp Elder: one Black man and three White men.
The Demon Lamp Elder pointed to the four and introduced them to Cheng Xiaofan, "Mr. Cheng, these four are the town's administrators and hold considerable prestige within the demonic cultivation circles."
"Due to their upright nature, they have never been highly valued by Mongli on this island."
As soon as the introduction was made, the four men immediately stood up and prostrated themselves before Cheng Xiaofan, saying in unison, "Your humble servant pays respects to the Demon Ancestor's envoy!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly said, "Don't be so formal. We are all family now, please rise!"
Upon hearing this, the four men timidly got up from the ground and bowed deeply to Mirror.
The leader among them, his expression filled with emotion, said, "Congratulations, Miss Mirror. Tomorrow you will officially be elevated to the position of sect leader in the demonic cultivation world. It will be a great fortune for us all if the demonic cultivation world is led by Mirror and Xiaofan!"
Mirror smiled. "Everyone, you are too kind. I will still need your and Elder Demon Lamp's guidance in the future!"
The leading elder chuckled. "Miss Mirror, you are our Saintess on Folsman Island. In the darkest moments of the island, you were like a sacred flame, giving us warmth."
"From now on, all members of the demonic cultivation sect on the island will support you. We will not tolerate anyone who defies your will."
"Thank you!" Mirror bowed to the elder.
During dinner, Cheng Xiaofan was seated at the head of the table, with Mirror sitting beside him. Lorain sat at the lower end, busy pouring the first round of drinks for everyone.
After the Demon Lamp Elder's introduction, the four elders learned that Mirror had taken Cheng Xiaofan as her master and immediately stood to toast the master and disciple.
Cheng Xiaofan could sense from the aura of these four men that their cultivation was very solid, and they spoke with great integrity. They had long been displeased with Mongli's tyrannical rule on the island, but due to his oppressive power and numerous lackeys, they were unable to resist.
With these four men and the Demon Lamp Elder assisting Mirror, Cheng Xiaofan could rest easy.
Thinking of the corporate group company he owned in Sakura Country solely for profit, and now controlling a demonic cultivation organization here, Cheng Xiaofan felt a sense of pride.
In the future, if any foreign evil forces opposed him, he could simply have the noble demonic cultivators deal with them.
After dinner, it was nearly midnight. The Demon Lamp Elder and the others bid farewell, and Cheng Xiaofan prepared to rest.
The bed in yesterday's room had been destroyed by Cheng Xiaofan and hadn't been repaired yet, so Lorain arranged a new room for him.
Cheng Xiaofan always felt more at ease and comfortable when he took a bath before sleeping.
He went to the bathroom to wash up and, wearing only shorts, entered the room. Just as he was about to lie down on the bed, he heard someone knocking on the window outside.
Bang bang bang!
The window was being knocked on incessantly.
This was the third floor; who could be climbing so high to knock on his room's window?
The room was lit, so he couldn't see who was outside. Cheng Xiaofan walked over and opened the window a crack, catching sight of the person outside.
It was Mirror!
"Master, hurry and open this window and let me in!" Mirror said urgently to Cheng Xiaofan from outside the window.
