Dustwind Valley was buzzing with excitement.
New disciples lined the entrance path, hopeful, disciplined, eager.
Until…
THUD.
A boy at the front suddenly collapsed.
Lin Ruyin shrieked,
"H-H-H-HE FELL—!!!"
Jin Haru jumped.
"What do we do? WHAT DO WE DO?!"
Solene rushed forward, placing a steady hand on the boy's forehead.
Her expression tightened immediately.
"…Fever."
Everything went silent.
A single leaf drifted past.
A bird stopped singing.
The disciples froze.
Because they all saw Miyu's head slowly turn toward Solene…
Her eyes wide…
Her mouth trembling…
Her aura shaking…
"…Sick?"
Solene braced herself.
"Yes, Master. A standard fever—"
Miyu's soul left her body.
"A F-F-FEVER?! HERE?! NEAR ME?!"
Her spiritual pressure exploded like a divine bomb.
New disciples were flung backward like leaves in a storm.
"KYAAAAA—!!!"
"THE ANCESTOR IS AWAKENING—RUN FOR YOUR LIFE—!!"
Even the elders ducked.
Gu Wenhai clung to a pillar.
"W-WHAT IS THIS PRESSURE?!"

1. Miyu's Hyper Clean Freak Mode ACTIVATED
Miyu pointed at the ground with a trembling finger.
"D-DON'T LET HIS SWEAT TOUCH THE EARTH—!! IT WILL SPREAD—!!"
She snapped into action like a battlefield commander.
"QUARANTINE FORMATION—NOW!"
Solene calmly activated a barrier.
The disciples, however, panicked like chickens.
"WHAT IS QUARANTINE?!"
"I DON'T KNOW JUST FOLLOW THE CIRCLE—!!"
"MY HAND TOUCHED HIS ROBE—PLEASE SOMEONE CUT IT OFF—!!!"
Miyu gasped loudly.
"YOU TOUCHED HIM?!"
The disciple fainted instantly.

2. Miyu Enters Medical Exorcism Mode
She dove into her sleeve and pulled out:
✔ Gloves
✔ Mask
✔ Sanitizing cloth
✔ Clean qi charm
✔ A small spray bottle of ???
✔ A sparkle-enchanted towel
✔ A disinfecting rune stone
✔ Another disinfecting rune stone
✔ A THIRD disinfecting rune stone
Lin Ruyin screamed,
"WHY DOES SHE HAVE SO MANY?!!"
Jin Haru sobbed,
"THE ANCESTOR WAS BORN FOR THIS…"
The boy groaned pitifully.
Miyu recoiled in horror.
"HE'S MAKING NOISES—THAT'S CONTAGIOUS—!!"
Solene coughed gently.
"Master… humans tend to make noises when dying—"
"HE'S NOT DYING YET!"
---
3. The Cleaning Exorcism Begins
Miyu slapped on her gloves.
SNAP.
The disciples felt their souls leave their bodies.
"That snap was stronger than a cultivation strike—!!"
Miyu leaned over the fainted boy.
"…Solene. Is that sweat on his forehead?"
"Yes, Master."
Miyu's world shattered.
"NOOOOOOO—!!!"
She conjured a glowing cloth.
"CLEANING ARTS:
FEVER-BANISHING PURIFICATION WIPE!!!"
She wiped.
KABOOOOOOM—!!!!
Light exploded.
Spiritual impurities burned away.
The trees shook.
The ground became spotless.
Three disciples broke through a minor realm just from watching.
The fevered boy shot straight upright.
"I—FEEL—REBORN!!"
Miyu shoved him back down.
"DON'T TALK. YOU'LL SPREAD GERMS."
He obeyed instantly.
---
4. Miyu Overreacts to EVERYTHING
She spun toward the crowd.
"You!
Step back two meters or I'll sanitize your lungs."
"You!
Stop breathing fast! It scatters air!"
"You!
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SWEATING!"
A disciple trembled.
"But ancestor… it's hot…"
Miyu pointed at him like a death sentence.
"Solene. Freeze him."
Solene nodded.
"…As you command."
The disciple immediately regretted speaking.
---
5. System Panics Too
Lazy-chan materialized wearing a mask and gloves.
"HOST!! THE GERMS LEVEL HERE IS 900% HIGHER THAN NORMAL—!!!"
Miyu screamed.
"I KNEW IT!! CLEAN EVERYTHING!"
Lazy-chan saluted.
"Yes, Commander Clean Freak!"
Even the elders fainted.
---
6. The Infirmary Upgrade Happens Automatically
The system chimed:
> [Order Points +72: Emergency Cleaning Detected]
[Dustwind Clean Infirmary: Upgrading…]
The ground shook.
A building burst from the earth:
shining floors
spotless windows
divine ventilation
"NO MUD ALLOWED" carved at the entrance
Lin Ruyin sobbed,
"We got an infirmary because someone sneezed—?!"
Jin Haru nodded,
"This… is our Ancestor's power…"
---
7. The Muddy Disciple Appears
A large boy waddled in.
Covered in mud.
Leaves in hair.
Footprints behind him.
Miyu stopped breathing.
Solene whispered,
"Master… please calm down—"
"CALM DOWN?! LOOK AT HIM!!"
Miyu pointed at the muddy boy.
"YOU!
HOW.
DARE.
YOU.
COME.
INSIDE.
DIRTY?!"
The boy burst into tears.
"I—I tripped—!"
"UNACCEPTABLE!"
She activated the SUPER DISINFECTING FORMATION.
WHOOSH—!!!!
The boy was blasted so clean his skin sparkled.
Everyone screamed.
"HE'S TOO CLEAN—MY EYES—!!!"
"THE ANCESTOR HAS REMADE HIM—!!"
Miyu crossed her arms.
"…Better."
---
8. Sterility Immortal Sends a Message
A cold gust swept the valley.
A white feather descended.
It touched the ground—
CRISP.
A square meter instantly turned sterile-white.
The disciples screamed:
"THE STERILITY IMMORTAL IS BACK—!!"
"WE JUST CLEANED EVERYTHING—!!"
"NO MORE GERMS WARS—!!!"
A message formed:
"You clean too loudly.
Prepare."
Miyu pointed at the writing.
"…He wrote crooked."
Everyone fainted.
Solene sighed.
"Master… please breathe."
Miyu glared at the feather.
"…HYGIENE WAR DECLARED."
---
9. Miyu's Declaration of Pure Wrath
She addressed the sect:
"No more fevers.
No more dirt.
No more sweat.
If you must breathe—
BREATHE NEATLY."
The disciples bowed, terrified.
"YES ANCESTOR MIYU—!!!"
Dustwind Sect had become the cleanest place in the world.
And tomorrow…
they would gain the Gatekeeper who matched Miyu's madness perfectly.
