Calculated by the Dog

Qin Ran watched Li Shiyin stumble down the stairs and shook his head, thinking to himself that this must be the so-called high attack but low defense.

Her attack was so powerful that she wanted to marry and have babies with him right off the bat, catching him completely off guard. But her defense was so weak that she blushed and ran away after just a kiss.

Of course, he licked his lips, still tasting the sweet fragrance of the young maiden, the tingling sensation rather enjoyable.

Qin Ran stood in place relishing the soft, wet feel of his silly apprentice's lips for quite a while before heading back to the desk. He looked at the sheets of paper laid out and tidied up the debris from the pen he had crushed, then took out a new pen from the drawer and leaned over to start writing.

The desk had a very large piece of paper on it, the most eye-catching part being the huge diagram of the mystical formation, the dense and complex mystical lines and patterns making one's eyes glaze over.

Above the diagram was the name of this mystical formation - the Long Distance One-way Teleportation Formation. Yes, this was the escape mystical formation that Qin Ran had been researching for the past two years.

Although he had also been making contributions to the Dao Sword Sect during this time, that did not conflict at all with his escape plan.

This teleportation formation was now already set up underground at Dan Peak, only missing some final touches and calculations before it could operate normally. And the reason why this formation could be set up so quickly was also thanks to Qin Ran's position as the Chief Alchemy Elder, since he no longer lacked materials for laying formations after assuming that role.

Somebody actually dared to ask if Qin Ran had embezzled resources?

Of course he did!

How could anyone still think Qin Ran was a good person? He only maintained a superficial integrity, but anything deeper was pitch black. Sitting in such a lucrative position, did anyone think he could still have completely clean hands?

Pure nonsense!

He just wasn't as brazen and blatant about it as Jian Yuanjie.

He properly recorded all the accounts that needed to be kept, but everything that should have lined his own pockets did not escape either. After all, with the mathematical prowess of this world, who could audit his books?

He openly used the Sect's money to buy whatever materials he needed.

So when laying down the defensive grand formation for the sect, he had begged far and wide for materials, barely scraping together enough; yet when setting up a teleportation formation far more complex, he did not have any material shortages at all.

What he was doing now was figuring out what needed to be done after teleporting to an unfamiliar place.

And under the diagram were the plans he had made.

First point: Determine the surroundings after teleporting to ensure the safety of the teleportation point;

Second point: Conceal and protect the teleportation point;

Third point...

There were already sixteen hastily scribbled points above.

But now, Qin Ran picked up his brush and wrote down the seventeenth point: Find Rong Ling Pills, or easier methods to refine Rong Ling Pills.

Since his silly apprentice had taken the initiative, he had to prepare to take action too. His own physiological functions had no issues after all, and facing such a peerless beauty, his heart burned with desire, impatient to have Li Shiyin birth him a child immediately. So he had to resolve that little hidden trouble of his quickly.

Following that, he wrote down point number eighteen on the paper: Collect dual cultivation techniques...

Li Shiyin ran downstairs and out of the small log cabin, then suddenly came to a halt, stunned.

Because at this moment, standing neatly in front of the cabin under the study window were four demons large and small: Tushan Youyou, Long Qiqi, Chasing the Wind and Liu Xiaoji.

Seeing Li Shiyin run out covering her face, they all involuntarily cried out in an electrifying, thrilling, and unsatiated manner, wearing expressions that showed they had been peeping and eavesdropping all along.

Slowly, Li Shiyin realized what was happening. She was utterly humiliated and furious, glaring at Long Qiqi only to see her feigning ignorance and indifference, even tilting her head to gaze at the skies while whistling a tune.

Well!

Then it dawned upon her that Long Qiqi had done this on purpose! Deliberately getting her to bare her heart to Master just so Long Qiqi could enjoy the show! Grr... this sly little loli was too crafty!!

"Ahhh.... Qiqi, damn you! I'm going to kill you!" In an instant, the Mu Ran Sword was unsheathed as Li Shiyin charged furiously at Long Qiqi.

Seeing the Mu Ran Sword drawn, Long Qiqi was badly frightened, almost losing her human form. She leapt nimbly onto Chasing the Wind's large head, yelling, "Chasing the Wind, run!"

Chasing the Wind had been engrossed in watching the lively scene unfold. Caught off guard, he suddenly saw Li Shiyin barreling over clutching the Mu Ran Sword, murderous aura billowing.

"Hey! Don't drag me into this!" He cried out in dismay.

But the embarrassed and furious Li Shiyin did not care. With a fierce slash, a meteor sword qi whizzed straight at him and he had no choice but to dodge hastily. "Stupid tiger, run that way!" Long Qiqi clambered atop Chasing the Wind's neck, clutching both ears to remotely control his direction.

Left with no time to think, Chasing the Wind could only flee in the direction Long Qiqi had indicated.

And so, one fled while the other pursued.

Yet another bloody battle unfolded atop Dan Peak....

Having completed his plans, Qin Ran put the paper away. His expression was tranquil as he stood by the study window gazing outside, seeing the apocalyptic horrors unfolding on Dan Peak.

A level 8 Profound Underworld Spirit Tiger and unparalleled sword dao genius fighting again, it was truly earth-shattering and devastating....

Of course, he was not worried in the slightest. It would be concerning instead if these two playful fellows did not brawl some day. Both were top-notch geniuses under his tutelage. When they fought, it was extremely restrained with not a shred of power leaking out.

After all, they knew that with their level of mastery, even the slightest wayward sword qi or claw swipe could potentially bring catastrophic damage to Dan Peak.

They loved Dan Peak too, and could not bear to see it harmed.

After going at it furiously for a period, Li Shiyin admitted defeat first.

Sword raised, she descended from the skies and saw Master Qin Ran at the study window. She softly mumbled to herself, "I must learn to become a proper lady, learn how to be a wife, learn how to be a mother, be gentle..."

Muttering thus, she landed on the ground, thinking to herself that she must absolutely become Master's wife, a capable wife.

"Why'd you stop fighting?" Chasing the Wind landed too and asked curiously, "You're much stronger than this!"

"I need to be gentle from now on, I can't be as savage and naughty as you." Li Shiyin slowed her speech, softened her voice, rounding her words.

Chasing the Wind frowned immediately, raising a large paw to press on Li Shiyin's forehead. "You didn't get possessed or something, did you?"

"Your paws are filthy, don't touch me!" Li Shiyin slapped Chasing the Wind's paw away. A proper young lady should be very concerned with cleanliness!

But the scent was right. Although his paw had been slapped away, Chasing the Wind heaved a sigh of relief. It was still Li Shiyin, she had not been possessed...

Watching this scene unfold on the lawn from the window, Qin Ran could not help but sigh. But it was not that which made him sigh, rather it reminded him of his past life. In that other world, everything needed certification - teachers needed teaching credentials, nurses needed nursing licenses, students needed level 4 certificates and graduation certificates, marriages needed marriage certificates, yet ironically becoming parents and raising children, the most important things, did not require any proof.
