Now that Qing Yue had decided to stay, Lin Yun could finally check her information.
[Name: Qing Yue]
[ID: 0002]
[Cultivation Base: 3rd stage Postnatal Realm]
[Physique: Heaven-grade]
[Orphan Talent: None]
[Favorability: 5%]
Seeing her cultivation base and physique, Lin Yun was stunned.
On this continent, physiques were ranked from Mortal, Profound, Earth, to Heaven, and Heaven-grade was the highest tier!
Even among top-tier powers, such physiques were incredibly rare. She was a true prodigy of heaven!
“This little girl… she’s really good at hiding things.”
Lin Yun figured Qing Yue’s background must be extraordinary—perhaps she was a descendant of some powerful faction?
That trope was way too familiar to him.
Of course, that also meant if anything unexpected happened, it could bring huge trouble.
But since she’d already chosen to stay, she was one of his own now. Even if the sky collapsed, as the director, he’d kick it back up himself!
Though the process had some twists, the number of people at the Outrealm Orphanage had officially increased by one.
Only then did Lin Yun suddenly remember something important.
“Right, you two get some rest. I’m going to clean up outside.”
Qing Yue looked confused. “It’s this late and you’re going to sweep the floor?”
“Uh… not exactly.”
Half a minute later, outside the orphanage gate.
Qing Yue stared at the pools of blood and several corpses lying there, her expression turning strange.
“Director… is this orphanage actually a proper place?”
He’d just claimed to be a good person earlier, and now he was cleaning up blood and bodies right at the front door?
Just looking at the scene, no one could guess what had actually gone down before this.
“Don’t get the wrong idea. These were assassins who came after me.”
Lin Yun briefly explained the situation to her.
After hearing it, Qing Yue nodded. “If that’s the case, then killing them was absolutely right.”
She wasn’t bothered by the killing. In fact, her own hands were already stained with blood.
After all, these corpses were blocking the gate. Seeing them in the middle of the night was a bit eerie.
So, they moved the bodies to a patch of grass nearby and piled them into a small mound.
But now came the problem of how to dispose of the corpses.
Lin Yun didn’t have much experience in killing and destroying evidence.
“What do you think about burning them?”
Bai Xiaoxue shook her head. “That would make too much noise, right?”
After all, lighting a big fire in the middle of the night would definitely attract a crowd—and expose everything.
“Yeah, and it feels kind of cruel too.”
Qing Yue also rejected the idea. Then she pulled out a small bottle from her clothes and smiled. “Director, let’s use this instead.”
As she spoke, she uncorked the bottle and poured the liquid onto the corpses. Instantly, there was a sizzling sound.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies started to smoke as if being corroded by strong acid. Flesh and bone dissolved rapidly, filling the air with a scorched stench.
Lin Yun’s mouth twitched. If burning was considered cruel, then this was downright savage.
“T-terrifying…”
Bai Xiaoxue’s face turned pale. She clutched Lin Yun’s sleeve tightly, not even daring to look ahead.
But to be fair, the efficiency was incredible. Within a minute, only black ash remained on the ground. A gentle breeze blew, and it all scattered.
Then Qing Yue turned to Lin Yun with a smile. “So, Director, what do you think? This corpse-dissolving liquid is pretty useful, right?”
Lin Yun coughed awkwardly. “Very effective, though a bit… gory.”
Compared to this, burning them almost felt like a gentle farewell.
“It’s not that bad. We call it ‘high efficiency’!”
Now it was Lin Yun’s turn to look at her strangely. “So you carry something like this around… and you still had the nerve to ask if I’m a good person?”
Anyone who didn’t know would think she was a professional killer. The equipment she had was just too complete.
Qing Yue didn’t seem the least bit embarrassed. “I’m a girl, okay? It’s totally normal to carry some emergency tools for disposing of corpses when you’re on your own out there.”
“Sure, sure, totally normal.”
Lin Yun sighed. He was starting to feel like this girl he took in… might be a lot to handle.
Soon after, they refilled the hole under the tree.
“It’s getting late. You both get some rest now.”
He gave a quick instruction to the two girls. So much had happened today, even he needed some time to digest it all.
In a quiet section of the courtyard, Lin Yun found an open spot and released the Heavenly Dao Academy.
The whole process felt like something out of a Red Alert game.
Before long, a stately academy stood before him, and a window of information appeared before his eyes.
[Heavenly Dao Academy: Reading within increases comprehension and learning ability by 10,000%!]
[Notice: The Basic Martial Arts Gift Pack has been delivered to the academy’s archive!]
Seeing the effect of the building, Lin Yun’s eyes lit up.
10,000%—that was a hundredfold increase in learning efficiency!
With this, his kids would soar in their cultivation. As the director, he no longer had to worry about them struggling to learn martial techniques.
“Right, time to check what’s inside that gift pack.”
Lin Yun quickly entered the academy. The interior was simple and elegant. He could already imagine future scenes of children diligently training here.
On one of the tables inside, three martial technique manuals were laid out side by side. Lin Yun checked each one.
Top-tier Earth-rank Sword Technique – Remnant Wind Sword Technique!
Top-tier Earth-rank Movement Technique – Falling Snow Without a Trace!
Top-tier Earth-rank Divine Ability – Eye of Truth!
After reading them, Lin Yun almost cried out in surprise.
Good heavens—three top-tier Earth-rank techniques?!
Based on his understanding of market prices, each of these could sell for over 10 million black crystals at auction—and they were practically priceless!
“Tsk tsk tsk, this is a total jackpot!”
Lin Yun was already itching to have Bai Xiaoxue and the others start cultivating them.
…
Meanwhile, inside Qing Yue’s room.
Moonlight spilled through the window, casting a soft glow over her delicate figure.
She sat on the bed, gazing at the black jade pendant in her hand.
“Grandpa, just like you told me… I’ve found a home in Outrealm City.”
Qing Yue murmured softly, her mind echoing with her grandfather’s final words before his death.
A moment later, she gently pressed the pendant against her cheek and slowly closed her eyes.
In a soft yet unwavering voice, she said, “One day, I will take back the Heavenly Demon Palace!”
