【Beginning】
Looking at the unconscious Lu Cheng-Syuan and Jia Rou, Daji’s heart was filled with discontent. If not for Jiang Ziya’s request to take care of the two, she would not be sitting here.
Lu Cheng-Syuan and Jia Rou finally regained consciousness, but they also felt the immense elvish power exuding from Daji.
Lu Cheng-Syuan: Who are you, demonic elf?
Aesthetic Vixen Su Daji: ‘He can feel my elvish pneuma even when I have suppressed it? So, it seems he is not some simple loser. Let me play a game with him.’
Daji was bored and hence told a casual lie.
Aesthetic Vixen Su Daji: I came to eat Jiang Ziya and he’s now in my stomach!
Lu Cheng-Syuan and Jia Rou were assaulted by elves not long ago and were alert to danger. They misunderstood her humor as a threat and thus began to attack in self-defense, weapons in hand.

Aesthetic Vixen Su Daji: Hey! Don’t be so serious. I was just joking.
Daji was also worried if she might hurt the two: they had just recovered after all. Knowing that they could not rival her power, Daji had to run around, avoiding direct contact. When Daji failed to notice his presence, Lu Cheng-Syuan was about to successfully stab Daji. However, Jiang Ziya stepped in his way.
Jiang Ziya the Celestial General: Pardon me. Daji means no harm. She was merely demonstrating her brand of humor. Please forgive her.
Jiang Ziya apologized with a polite smile on his face. He then handed two pieces of jade to Jia Rou and Lu Cheng-Syuan.
Jia Rou: What does this jade do? And could you please explain what has happened at all?
Jiang Ziya the Celestial General: As to what we have known now, you have come to this realm in result of a time vortex.
Jiang Ziya the Celestial General: However, the realm is attempting to assimilate you. If it succeeds, the realm would collapse from an excess of power...
Jiang Ziya the Celestial General: So we have set up a magic circle to protect you.
Jiang Ziya the Celestial General: The jade in your hand can prevent you from being assimilated when you are out of the protective circle.
Jiang Ziya the Celestial General: I still have other matters to care for. Daji will provide help on my behalf.
Jia Rou and Lu Cheng-Syuan thanked Jiang Ziya and sat in meditation to restore their power.
