Zhou Yan had just returned to his territory when Si Teng contacted him, asking, "Lord, where are you?"
"Just arrived at the territory, what's up?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Lord, Hua Yuerong and I are at the cinema and found that the movie worlds in the cinema can now be teleported to," Si Teng replied.
Zhou Yan heard this and, having nothing else to do, replied, "Alright, I'll be right over."
Zhou Yan had been so busy that he had forgotten about the [Cinema]. As the [Cinema]'s level increased, its cooldown time had also significantly reduced.
Zhou Yan immediately went to the [Cinema], wanting to see what movies were currently showing.
Upon arriving outside the [Cinema], Si Teng and Hua Yuerong, both demon clan members—one a vine demon, the other a flower demon—walked towards Zhou Yan with radiant smiles. As their strength grew, they became increasingly captivating.
"Lord, many movies have appeared. Are you planning to bring more sisters out for us this time?" Si Teng blinked her cute eyes, her large ones full of playfulness.
"Let's see what movies are available first. This Lord definitely needs to choose a movie that benefits the territory," Zhou Yan chuckled, also eager to see what new films had been released.
The [Cinema] was already level fifty, and a television series section had even appeared. However, Zhou Yan had not entered the TV series "Sword Snow Stride" last time and was unsure if it was still available.
Taking Si Teng and Hua Yuerong to the outside of the [Cinema], they looked at the current movies and TV series.
They found that the TV series was still "Sword Snow Stride." As for movies, four had appeared: "Goodbye Mr. Loser," "Farewell My Concubine," "P Storm," and "Ready Player One."
After seeing these movies, Zhou Yan realized they wouldn't be of much use to his territory, so he decided to enter the TV series "Sword Snow Stride" again.
"Sword Snow Stride" was a TV series adapted from a novel. Zhou Yan didn't know if the original novel was good, as he hadn't read it.
In any case, the plot of this TV series was excellent, but Zhou Yan would never bring the female lead out, as he had absolutely no "interest."
Truth be told, the female lead was not as beautiful as Yu Youwei.
However, the person Zhou Yan most wanted to bring out was Nangong Pushi, who was both beautiful and powerful. Even if no one else was brought out, he was determined to bring this woman out.
This TV series was very long. Zhou Yan first took leave and then said to Si Teng and Hua Yuerong, "I'm going into this 'Sword Snow Stride' world. We'll discuss any matters after I come out."
Once he entered a movie world, even if something important happened, Zhou Yan could only come out after the entire plot had concluded.
This time, it would take at least a day, so he definitely wouldn't be attending classes tomorrow.
"Understood, Lord," Si Teng quickly nodded and watched as Zhou Yan walked into a private cinema booth.
After entering the cinema, Zhou Yan was directly teleported to the world of "Sword Snow Stride."
The martial power in this world was quite high, even featuring the legendary realm of immortals. Figures like the Sword God Li Chungang, Wang Xianzhi, and Deng Tai'a were all at the level of Land Immortals, likely equivalent to the Sword God Wang Yixian of Ziwei Academy.
Zhou Yan was familiar with the plot of the TV series. How the original novel was written had nothing to do with the world depicted in the TV series.
Upon being teleported to the world of "Sword Snow Stride," Zhou Yan found that a lot of memories had been injected into his mind. His identity was established as a wandering martial artist encountered by Xu Fengnian, and they had become sworn brothers.
He then followed Xu Fengnian and Old Huang on their travels across the land, heading towards Beiliang.
Although Zhou Yan was curious about his newfound identity, it would allow him to enter the Beiliang King's mansion more easily and develop alongside the plot.
As soon as he was teleported to the "Sword Snow Stride" world, Zhou Yan saw several people in front of him: Xu Fengnian and Old Huang, both travel-worn. Zhou Yan also looked at himself and found he was also clad in coarse cloth, currently being blocked by an old man growing sweet potatoes.
The reason was that Xu Fengnian had tried to steal sweet potatoes and was caught red-handed. Since they had no money, the old man wouldn't let the three of them leave.
Zhou Yan knew that Old Huang was very powerful, known as Jian Jiuhuang. Inside his sheath were his nine weapons, but Old Huang rarely drew his sword unless Xu Fengnian's life was in danger.
Through the transmitted memories, Xu Fengnian and Old Huang knew Zhou Yan knew martial arts, but they weren't sure how strong he was.
Zhou Yan naturally wouldn't resort to violence against an old farmer growing sweet potatoes; Xu Fengnian and Old Huang understood this.
Seeing Xu Fengnian reveal his identity as the Crown Prince of Beiliang in an attempt to be let off the hook, the sweet potato farmer didn't believe him at all. Finally, the three began to flee.
"Run!" Xu Fengnian shouted and quickly ran far away. This kid was exceptional at escaping.
Zhou Yan stopped, took out a silver coin, and handed it to the pursuing farmer, saying, "This is silver. It's more than enough to buy a hundred catties of your sweet potatoes."
The farmer looked at it, put it in his mouth to check, and his face lit up with joy. He then said, "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"Then I'll dig up more sweet potatoes," Zhou Yan said, knowing Xu Fengnian and Old Huang were very hungry.
"Dig up as much as you want," the farmer smiled.
Afterward, Zhou Yan dug up more sweet potatoes and caught up with Xu Fengnian and Old Huang.
The two were surprised to see the sweet potatoes in Zhou Yan's hands. Xu Fengnian then said, "Aren't we being ungrateful? Stealing so many of his melons. When we return to Beiliang, I'll have someone compensate him."
Xu Fengnian was quite kind and didn't want to owe anyone anything. However, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I paid him."
"Good lad, you were hiding money!" Xu Fengnian and Old Huang both smiled, saying nothing more, and began roasting the sweet potatoes.
Zhou Yan also enjoyed the pleasure of roasted sweet potatoes, and indeed, these melons were incredibly fragrant!
As the three were eating with relish, a group of people on horseback appeared ahead, looking like troublemakers—likely a band of brigands.
They rode up to the three of them. The leader, looking at the three dusty figures eating sweet potatoes, asked, "Do you want to eat meat?"
Upon hearing the word "meat," Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up, and he answered without hesitation, "Yes!"
"There's a broken temple five li ahead. Follow us, and we'll give you meat to eat," the man said.
"Alright!" Xu Fengnian agreed without a second thought.
He hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and the mention of it made his stomach rumble with cravings.
After speaking, the group left.
