Chapter 65
Sure! Here’s the translation of the provided text:

No ordinary person should come into contact with items related to supernatural events!
So when faced with Chen Huai'an's question, Lin Lingling's instinctive reaction was to cover it up.
However...
"But this talisman should belong to me, right?"
To prove her point, Chen Huai'an reached into the inner pocket of his jacket and pulled out a crumpled Lei Huo talisman. He thought to himself, what the hell, a keychain? Who would have guessed that this girl, looking so innocent and cute, would be a liar at heart?
Lin Lingling: "?"
"See? I have more here."
Chen Huai'an pulled out five more.
Lin Lingling: "？？？"

**Chapter 68: Your Electronic Girlfriend Has Joined the Sword Pavilion**
The trip to Tianmen Mountain ended on a sour note.
Cai Yifan was scared out of his wits by a wolf, and the title of a Shaolin lay disciple became a joke.
Song Zichen and Wang Yitao's personas also crumbled spectacularly; the two grown men were even less brave than the girls when faced with danger. Thanks to the diligent cameraman, Su Xingchen's image as a kind little lamb went viral, while Zhang Lulu, though not particularly outstanding, also gained some attention.
But the real sensation that sparked heated discussions online was the high school girl who fought the wolf, and the national heartthrob, Chen Huai'an, who remained eerily calm in the face of danger, even without hair.
Of course, the title of "National Heartthrob" was given to him by netizens.
Although the recent episode of "Dare to Adventure" had an accident, it ended up boosting the show's popularity. Since no one died, the dangers were quickly downplayed online, replaced by various meme-worthy expressions from male celebrities.
Chen Huai'an had his fair share of memes too.
However, because he remained so composed, there were no embarrassing expressions to mock him, making every meme look incredibly handsome.
...
Front Desk A: "The handsome guy from room 418 is back!"
Front Desk B: "Really? I had the aunt check this morning, and he hadn't returned yet~"
Front Desk A: "So, should we add a green bubble to his profile?"
Front Desk B: "Oh, come on, I'm just a hotel receptionist. He wouldn't look at me."
Lin Lingling stood at the counter, listening to the two girls chat, feeling utterly speechless.
She was quite short, barely taller than the counter.
With a few 32-inch monitors on the counter, they nearly obscured the lower half of her face.
"Hello, I’d like to book room 417," Lin Lingling said, raising her ID card.
Front Desk A continued, "Oh come on, you’re not ugly. What if he takes a liking to you?"
"Hello, I’d like to book room 417!"
Front Desk B: "But I weigh almost 180 pounds..."
Front Desk A: "Isn't that great? Being slightly chubby is in style now~"
Lin Lingling could no longer hold back. She took a deep breath and shouted, "Damn it! I want to book room 417! Are you listening?!"
Finally, the two receptionists heard her.
"Ah, sorry, sis, but room 417 is already occupied~"
"What about 419?"
"419 is still available."
"I'll stay for a month, here’s my card!" Lin Lingling expressionlessly slapped her bank card on the table. After the transaction, she expressionlessly dragged her huge suitcase into the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, Lin Lingling couldn't help but recall the events of last night.
After confirming that the talismans in Chen Huai'an's possession were the real deal, her first thought was that he was some big shot. But soon, she felt something was off. First, Chen Huai'an had no internal energy; he was just an ordinary person. Second, when she tried to test him, he seemed completely clueless.
On the way down the mountain, she had secretly asked Chen Huai'an if he was a "Jiang Ji" (a term for someone with special abilities).
Chen Huai'an looked at her as if she were an idiot and replied, "I'm more of a comparative degree."
Not one to give up, she continued to throw him coded phrases.
She said, "You have friends coming from afar," expecting the response to be, "Isn't it a joy?" But Chen Huai'an replied, "Though far, they must be punished."
For another code, she asked, "Not recognizing the true face of Mount Lu," but he answered, "Only knowing how to shoot big eagles with a bent bow."
It was a complete mess.
From the clear yet foolish look in his eyes, Lin Lingling realized that this handsome guy had no understanding of the Demon-Slaying Division at all.
But where did those talismans come from?
Who was he?
Could he even use them?
Perhaps he was just an ordinary person who stumbled upon treasures by chance?
As a demon slayer, besides hunting demons, she had another mission: to find companions—ordinary people affected by the revival of spiritual energy, who exhibited unusual traits.
First, to inform them of the existence of the Demon-Slaying Division.
Second, to prevent them from becoming "Zuguoren" (people who have been possessed by demons).
In recent years, various bizarre serial murders had occurred, some committed by demons, while others were by those who had gained extraordinary powers. In fact, these empowered individuals could be even more terrifying than demons.
She had returned the talismans to Chen Huai'an.
Even with her youthful, adorable face, she couldn't manage to keep the talismans for herself, but she didn't let Chen Huai'an become a potential threat slip away.
Today, she tracked Chen Huai'an to the room next door to confirm which category he fell into.
If he was just an ordinary person who accidentally obtained those talismans, she would have to find a way to retrieve those dangerous items, perhaps by buying them. Of course, she admitted that she was quite tempted by those precious talismans.
Arriving at the door of room 419, Lin Lingling stared silently at the closed door of room 418.
A talisman was neatly affixed to the door, the same kind that had been used to blow up the wolf demon on the mountain.
"Damn it, can he even use it?!"
Lin Lingling raked her fingers through her hair, feeling like she was about to lose her mind.
What if he was actually a big shot on a secret mission? Wouldn't that be like flooding the Dragon King's temple with water?
"Forget it, I'll just stay for a few days and observe."
...
Meanwhile.
Inside room 418.
Chen Huai'an split the recently bought Cao Hei Ya (a type of duck) in half for Ba Ji.
Then he happily plugged in his phone, powered it on, and opened his electronic girlfriend.
After a night filled with chaos, he had spent the latter half at the police station.
He still didn't understand why he had to go to the police station to file a report after being attacked by a beast, surrounded by a large number of guards, making it feel like a terrorist attack. It was quite an eye-opener.
"Qingran must have joined Lingxi Valley."
Chen Huai'an muttered to himself.
Lingxi Valley, just the name alone suggested a sect filled with many girls—wasn't that a feast for the eyes?
However, when he opened the game, he found no picturesque scenes of blue bricks and tiles, nor the charm of lotus ponds under the moonlight.
Instead, he was met with desolation and devastation.
What the hell was this? Was this Lingxi Valley?
The legendary sect filled with female cultivators? What a joke!
The sect's plaque was shattered, and the characters were barely legible!
Chen Huai'an slowly typed out a question mark.
At that moment, a game notification popped up:
【Your electronic girlfriend Li Qingran has joined the sect 'Sword Pavilion'】
【Sword Pavilion—All members are sword cultivators. Due to the unique nature of sword cultivators, this sect is also known as the poorest sect in the Cangyun Realm.】
Chen Huai'an: "..."
Where's the divine revelation?
Come out!
I want to apply for a refund for the disabled!

**Chapter 69: Chen Huai'an is the Grand Elder? (Chucheng who loves to eat Four Happiness Beans +1)**
Half a day ago—
"Disciple Qingran, greetings to the Sect Master!"
Li Qingran bowed gracefully to Su Qinian.
She had successfully passed all the tests and assessments of the Sword Pavilion and joined the sect.
Only at this moment did she realize that all four elders of the Sword Pavilion had mobilized to compete for spirit stones. The one who brought her here was the sect's senior sister, the direct disciple of Su Qinian—Xuanwu Sword, Yue Qianchi.
With so few disciples in the Sword Pavilion, the sect's buildings were dilapidated and exuded an air of poverty.
As she walked along, she saw barely over a hundred disciples, and they all seemed a bit eccentric.
