NOVPUB"Ha ha ha..."
Yan Fajue’s eyes flashed with a hint of panic, trying to gloss things over.
"Don’t try to bluff your way out of this, fess up. Otherwise, I might have to call others! Discovering Yan Fajue plotting something nefarious will definitely be a big deal. Maybe I’ll even get to leave early." Li Fan threatened with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
"What plotting something nefarious!" Yan Fajue glared at Li Fan, fuming.
But the real Li Fan outside the Character Light Ball actually did begin to speak suddenly, "That..."
The gazes of Hedao Zhang Xu and Flower Moon Night were instantly drawn over.
Jade Loli Yan Fajue immediately panicked.
"Don’t! Let’s talk about this!" She took a brisk step forward, rushing in front of the artificial personality, with her eyes wide, pitifully looking at Li Fan.
Meanwhile, within the Yan Fa space, the real Li Fan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Two friends, I have a question I’d like to ask. Regarding requests like these for Yan Fajue to derive Techniques, is it permissible to share them externally? I know that the Rules of the Immortal Alliance prohibit dissemination but..."
Zhang Xu said with a smile, "Does Friend Sun perhaps want to seek out a Technique for his newly born son? Officially speaking, that’s not allowed. However, those in charge of oversight are all our own people from the Law Enforcement Hall. So..."
Zhang Xu gave a knowing glance.
Li Fan gave a bow of acknowledgement, indicating that he understood.
And inside the Character Light Ball, Yan Fajue, who had overheard the conversation of the three Unity-Path guards, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You little rascal!" Yan Fajue changed expressions again, trying to look fierce and formidable.
"Spill it. What are you really up to?" The artificial personality stretched out its right hand, about to flick Yan Fajue’s forehead.
Yan Fajue instinctively dodged, but quickly realized that the other was only an imitation body and had no physical form, resulting in her becoming angrily embarrassed.
But Li Fan merely smiled that not-quite-smiling smile again, causing Yan Fajue to back down.
In the end, realizing she was no match for Li Fan, Yan Fajue gave in.
"Fine, I’ll tell you. But you have to promise me, absolutely no tattling to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!" Yan Fajue dropped all unnecessary expressions from her face and spoke very seriously.
Li Fan just smiled, responding with a question, "If I was in complete agreement with the Immortal Alliance, why would I take the opportunity to ask for your derivation and pass the Imitation Personality technique to you?"
Yan Fajue cocked her head to think for a moment, realizing what Li Fan said made sense.
With a clap of her chubby little hands, the scene inside the Character Light Ball abruptly changed.
Endless, reaching up to the sky, white jade bookshelves filled with densely packed different Jade Scrolls.
Each Jade Scroll documented a Technique.
"Initially, the Heavenly Sovereign had me exhaust all laws under heaven.
At that time, I was still far too young and thought, with my abilities, it was just a trivial matter. So I gladly agreed. Now that I think about it, I was so naive!" Yan Fajue sighed with feeble lament.
"It’s impossible to derive them all! Absolutely impossible to complete the task!"
"So many years have passed, and I’m still far from achieving my goal! I feel like I’m reaching my limits!"
Yan Fajue grabbed at her own hair, looking utterly distressed.
"I know, I must find a way to change all of this!" A flicker of determination suddenly sparkled in the eyes of the little loli.
"Oh? How do you plan to change it?" Li Fan looked around at the surrounding Techniques with great interest.
"Hmph. Of course I have a brilliant plan!" Yan Fajue said arrogantly, hands on her hips.
"Just give me fifty years of leisure time, and I’ll find the method to completely get ahead of schedule and leave this sea of suffering behind! Then, I’ll surely sleep soundly."
Li Fan didn’t pry further but repeated the number, "Fifty years."
"So with the help of this imitation personality, how long will you need to achieve your goal?"
Yan Fajue’s big eyes rolled, and with a light cough, she said, "I haven’t tested how efficient this thing really is yet. How about you let me..."
Li Fan agreed immediately.
After a flicker of light, it returned to its previous mechanical appearance.
"Master, what can I do for you?" The imitation personality asked with professional diligence.
With a grand wave of her hand, Yan Fajue issued the command to let it take over the whole derivation job.
The giant Character Light Ball rotated continuously, and Techniques Jade Slips took shape and appeared on the white jade shelves.
Watching these Jade Slips appear, a sense of unearned joy surged in Yan Fajue’s heart, making her smile foolishly.
Seven days passed in a flash.
Li Fan’s voice suddenly sounded again.
The moment the imitation personality took over, the progress of the Character Light Ball’s Techniques derivation was also interrupted.
"Huuh..."
"Huuh huuh..."
Li Fan looked carefully and saw the little loli Yan Fajue lying spread-eagled and floating in the air, fast asleep without any dignity.
"Umm..." After Li Fan woke her up, the little loli even vigorously rubbed her eyes.
Looking somewhat confused, she asked, "How many years have passed?"
"Hmm? It’s only been seven days!"
Soon after, when Yan Fajue saw the time, she instantly woke up.
"Sleeping was so delightful," she muttered, seemingly reluctant to wake.
"Why are you here again?" She then looked at Li Fan, speaking with great disdain. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Li Fan said nothing, just quietly observed her.
Yan Fajue immediately faltered, "Alright, I’ll check. Yeah, it’s just slightly slower than when I do the derivation myself at full effort."
"Barely as fast as the speed I display in front of those folks at the Immortal Alliance."
