Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 359: Senior’s Just on Another Level!
The moment Chen Huai’an saw Wang Shouyi, his first thought was—I need to silence him.
But when he saw Wang’s clueless smile and those pure, clear eyes, he hesitated.
Maybe… maybe Wang hadn’t noticed the jade slips in Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan’s hands?
“What do you have there? Jade slips?
Those don’t look like Qingfeng Sect’s techniques. Where’d you get them?”
Wang Shouyi walked over to Zhao Ying, leaned in close, and even took a couple sniffs near her jade slip.
As if he was trying to smell the technique’s essence?
Chen Huai’an clenched his fists.
“Oh! I get it now!”
Wang Shouyi turned and cupped his hands toward Chen Huai’an.
“Totally forgot that Senior has his own legacy.
That sword technique, those talismans used to slay demons and dispel evil—they’re proof enough…
In that case, I guess the techniques from Qingfeng Sect really wouldn’t meet your standards.
Haha, kind of embarrassing for them!”
Chen Huai’an paused a moment and forced out a strained smile.
“Well, it’s not that they’re not good enough—it’s just that the Demon Slayer Division in Province C follows an elite path.
So I only assign techniques that suit each individual perfectly.
Qingfeng’s techniques are decent, just a bit too… generic.
Still, we can store them in the warehouse for others to pick from later based on preference!”
“Brilliant!” Wang Shouyi gave a big thumbs-up.
“Absolutely brilliant!! Senior says a few words and suddenly it’s like we’re in a full-on sect library!”
Chen Huai’an could only respond with a stiff smile to the flattery.
But the urge to silence Wang Shouyi was gone.
This kid didn’t look more than twenty.
If Kunlun Celestial Palace hadn’t recruited him, he’d probably still be in high school.
He really was just a clueless teen—what bad intentions could he possibly have?
“Senior, I just ordered ten servings of fries on Meituan. Want some?
Don’t be shy!”
Wang Shouyi raised his phone like it was no big deal, casually brushing off the whole jade slip incident.
Chen Huai’an originally wanted to refuse.
But then he remembered that people like Li Qingran and the folks from Cangyun Realm had never tasted fries.
So he nodded.
Still…
There were demons roaming all over the city, and yet the delivery guys were still doing their jobs?
That was enough to bring a tear to one’s eye.
When the delivery showed up, he definitely wanted to see who had the guts to keep working through this mess.
Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan went off to study the jade slips.
Meanwhile, Chen Huai’an took Wang Shouyi—now officially part of the Demon Slayer Division—for a tour.
He also took the opportunity to familiarize himself with things.
Despite being the governor for quite a while, Chen really didn’t know much about how things actually worked around here.
Most of the staff barely interacted with him.
To them, this governor was mysterious incarnate.
He either didn’t show up at all, or he appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, only to vanish just as suddenly.
It was even rumored that the Demon Slayer Division’s top-tier weapon—Containment Unit 0, the Tyrant—was actually summoned by the governor.
At this point, the rumor had practically become consensus among the staff, adding yet another layer of mystique to Chen Huai’an.
So when they saw him, everyone treated him with cautious respect, their faces a mix of awe and fear.
“Governor Chen, the casualty report is out.”
“Oh?” Chen’s expression darkened. He looked at the staffer.
“What’s the situation? Have the spider demons been cleared out from the city?”
“Over ten thousand casualties. The spider demons are mostly dealt with...
Actually, after the spider queen died, the rest started retreating out of the city.
They showed no intention of continuing the assault.”
“Ten thousand?”
Wang Shouyi, standing beside them, looked furious.
Murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
“These monsters deserve to die! Over ten thousand innocent lives… gone just like that.
Senior, I say we go all in—strike the nearest Demon Lock Tower while they’re off guard!
With the two of us working together, we can definitely make an impact!”
Chen thought the idea had merit, but didn’t agree right away.
Instead, he turned to the staffer, frowning slightly.
Ten thousand…
To be honest, it felt too low.
Not that he lacked empathy.
But for a casualty count this small, something had to be off.
Province C’s Demon Slayer Division was located in the heart of the province’s largest city.
This city was densely populated thanks to its booming economy.
Even at 4 or 5 a.m., bars were still loud and bustling, and a third of the supermarkets ran 24/7.
And yet, spider demons ran wild for over eight hours starting from the evening rush hour…
and only around ten thousand people were harmed?
That was hard to believe.
What was this, a city full of battle-hardened civilians?
Even the weakest spider demon could shred through ten regular people in under a minute.
“Did you break down the demographics of the casualties?” Chen asked.
“Yes.” The staffer nodded.
“And that’s the weird part.
Most of the casualties were demon slayers, noble descendants, or soldiers who joined the battle.
Ordinary civilians—those who either hid in place or were evacuated—were largely unharmed.
It’s almost like the spider demons weren’t interested in attacking regular people.
Unless someone provoked them first, they wouldn’t even fight back.”
“Demons not attacking humans? That’s impossible!”
Wang Shouyi’s eyes went wide with disbelief.
“Are you sure you didn’t mess up somewhere?!”
“Mr. Wang, please don’t question our professionalism.”
The staffer shot him a side-eye.
Who even is this kid? Half-cosplaying in ancient gear, acting all dramatic beside the governor?
“That doesn’t add up... this defies logic! Something’s not right here!”
Wang was still unconvinced.
He turned to Chen Huai’an and solemnly cupped his hands.
“Senior, since there are so many unanswered questions, why don’t we just raid the Demon Lock Tower?”
“What good would raiding it do if we don’t know anything?”
Chen blinked.
“We bust in, capture the strongest demon inside, and interrogate it until it spills everything!”
Wang’s eyes were fierce, like an angry puffed-up rabbit.
“These monsters must be plotting something.
All we need to do is catch their leader and torture the truth out of him!”
Chen gave it some thought—
not a bad direction, really.
But the spider queen was just a floor boss from the first level of the tower.
What about the actual strongest creature on that level?
And what kind of monsters were sealed in the upper levels?
If he and Wang rushed in blindly, they’d just be throwing themselves away.
Acting recklessly was a no-go.
Then he got an idea and said:
“Brother Wang, I’m not very familiar with how things work within your Ascender community.
The entire Daxia Empire is under siege from Demon Lock Towers,
so maybe the spider demons sparing civilians was a fluke.
Why don’t you tap into your Ascender connections?
Gather some intel and figure out these demons’ patterns.
Once we have that info, we can decide whether and when to hit the tower.
What do you think?”
Wang Shouyi paced back and forth, thinking hard.
He looked so serious that Chen briefly wondered if the kid had caught on that he was being used.
But… no.
Even better!
Wang slapped his thigh.
Make plans before acting. Use all available resources.
So steady and methodical—unlike his usual rash self.
That’s why Senior is Senior!
Even if Senior’s cultivation wasn’t as high,
his way of thinking, his sense of timing—those were levels ahead.
This was why Senior had saved him,
and not the other way around.
“No wonder you’re the Senior—so thorough in everything!”
Wang was in awe.
“Leave it to me. I’ll go ask around right now!”
The moment he finished,
Chen Huai’an just stood there, wide-eyed,
watching the kid shoot off into the night on his flying sword with a whoosh.
