From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Ignorance comes with a price!"

Pretending to be a Taoist priest, Fang Ren transformed the red aura into streams of thread, continuously rushing toward Feng Mei.

"What!"

Feng Mei was startled by the red threads and nearly fell to the ground, her 180-pound frame slipping several steps on the smooth tiles before she turned to run out of the bathroom.

Fang Ren manipulated the red aura to follow her, not immediately knocking her out, but instead shouted with feigned authenticity, "Audacious thief! How dare you disturb my ritual! You shall not escape!"

After saying this, Fang Ren finally struck Feng Mei's forehead with a red thread of aura.

Thud!

The 180-pound body suddenly fell onto the tiles, the sound making everything in the bathroom from the basin towels to the makeup tremble thrice.

"Sister Mei! Sister Mei!"

Jian Qi'er immediately shouted and ran beside Feng Mei, switching to Oscar-worthy acting mode, looking earnestly at Feng Mei lying on the ground and saying, "Sister Mei! You mustn't be hurt, this master is real, why wouldn't you believe me?"

At this moment, Feng Mei hadn't completely passed out and immediately tugged Jian Qi'er's arm, saying, "Qi'er... you mustn't believe him."

"Thief! Not only do you disrupt my demon-hunting, but you also continue to slander me in front of others!" Fang Ren, seeing Jian Qi'er's performance, how could he show any weakness? He roared in anger, struck a chūnibyō pose, and aimed a punch at Feng Mei on the ground.

Watching Fang Ren's punch come her way, Jian Qi'er smiled inwardly, clearly sensing the deliberate slowness of the punch and its intended dramatic effect—indeed, her coordination with this man was flawless.

Then, Jian Qi'er looked pleadingly at Fang Ren, who was striking a very chūnibyō pose, and said, "Master! She was just ignorant and trespassed by mistake! Please don't take this to heart! Spare her life, please!"

Fang Ren halted his punch with an angry expression, glanced at Jian Qi'er, and said coldly, "Hmph! You knew I was performing a ritual and yet allowed others in so casually. If not for the goodness in your heart, I would never have agreed to perform it here!"

"I understand, master, master... please give Sister Mei a chance to live. After all, she didn't know any better and only barged in because she was too concerned about me," Jian Qi'er continued the act,

"There's a foolish saying that ignorance is no sin, which is utter nonsense! The ignorant should also receive the punishment they deserve to learn their lesson!" said Fang Ren.

With those words, Fang Ren's red aura burst forth, striking Feng Mei's head once more, knocking her out cold, but not harming her life.

Jian Qi'er looked at Feng Mei, now motionless by her side, and with a face full of worry, she shouted, "Sister Mei, Sister Mei?"

After a few seconds, Jian Qi'er's worried expression instantly vanished, she glanced at Fang Ren, and chuckled, "I must say, you have a talent for this, your acting synchs up with mine without even needing a script."

"Absolutely."

Fang Ren dusted off his hands, then used the Space Ring to collect the pile of black clothes in the corner into his storage space.

"You ought to hurry up and leave here to go back to school. Although the rumor between you and me can be avoided now, as soon as Sister Mei catches wind of this, it's going to lead to new misunderstandings," Jian Qi'er frowned as she spoke.

"Isn't it just a matter of dealing with an agent? For you, shouldn' that be a simple task to brush off?" Fang Ren replied.

Jian Qi'er waved her hand dismissively and said, "You don't understand. I still need to think of ways to gain more fame and acquire more useful information for the organization, so I take my work very seriously. If any bad news were to leak out, it could very well affect my future."

"Then forget it, I'll try to find somewhere else to stay for a while," Fang Ren said. "By the way, do you have any men's clothes here?"

"Huh?" Jian Qi'er looked bewildered, "I'm a girl, why would I have men's clothes at home?"

"Huh?"

Fang Ren was taken aback and then spoke, "If you don't have men's clothes at home, why did you let me take a shower first? You want me to go back to school wrapped in just a towel?"

"How was I supposed to know that despite having a Space Ring, you didn't bring any clothes with you?" Jian Qi'er said helplessly.

Even more helpless, Fang Ren thought about how, during his time on the battlefield, his Space Ring was in utter chaos, filled with a burning Alchemy Furnace, all sorts of complex herbs, ninety-one sickles, and various discussed elixirs...

Although he had indeed thrown his clothes into the Space Ring before, considering that his Space Ring's storage space was only 10 cubic meters, he had no idea how he managed to fit those ninety-one sickles in there, not to mention now also having to worry about clothes.

Using his Divine Sense to check the Space Ring, Fang Ren's face turned completely dark. Were those even clothes anymore? They had been charred by the Alchemy Furnace, torn open and cut by more than ninety sickles, and rubbed shiny by other pills...

Seeing Fang Ren fall silent, Jian Qi'er turned and ushered Feng Mei into the living room. When she returned to the bathroom, she said, "Alright, alright, I'll go out and buy a set of clothes for you now. Just don't wander off, okay?"

"Am I supposed to just hang out in your house wearing nothing but a towel?" Fang Ren said in astonishment.

"What else can we do? It's not like I can let you wear my super short shorts and miniskirts, can I?" Jian Qi'er replied.

"Alright, alright."

"Wait for me at home, and keep an eye on Sister Mei."

...

A few minutes later, Jian Qi'er came rushing back into the house, her face flustered, carrying a bag. She had barely entered the room before slamming the door shut, and even the front door was dead bolted.

"What happened? Did you run into the paparazzi on the way home?"

Fang Ren stared at her panicked appearance with some bewilderment.

"Worse than just paparazzi!" Jian Qi'er shut the door to the room and yelled at him, "If it were just the paparazzi chasing me, that'd be one thing. But do you even know about the existence of fan clubs?"

"Aren't those just part of the two forces that surround any popular star?" Fang Ren asked.

"The key point is the fan club! The core fan club! They were all lying in ambush! And now they've revealed themselves."
