After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ugh—so boring!"

You parted your red lips slightly, leaning back in a luxurious chaise lounge, occasionally enjoying the spiritual fruits fed to you by your maidservant, while two other maidservants gently massaged your shoulders and neck behind you.

【Oh, Lin Qingyu, how could you have fallen so low!】

[You internally condemned yourself for being so complacent so quickly, without even offering any resistance, and lazily rolled over, saying:]

"Try pressing it from a different direction."

The three young maids looked at each other, and finally, the older one cautiously spoke up:

"Young Madam, please don't be too sad. Young Master has always been like this, only focused on cultivation and challenges. But he wouldn't stray outside, so you can rest assured."

【sad?】

How did they notice you were a little sad?

However, considering your current situation and the presence of many people around, you feel you really need to show some sadness.

【"Sigh~"】

You sighed softly, a touch of melancholy naturally creeping onto your brow.

"It must be that I haven't done something right, or that I haven't pleased my husband, which is why he didn't even want to come back on our wedding night..."

"Young Madam, please don't say that."

The maidservant, flustered, hurriedly added:

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life, without a doubt!"

"Yes, yes! The young mistress is even more beautiful than the fairies in those paintings."

"Young Master must have been delayed by something, please don't be upset."

Two maids nearby quickly chimed in.

The beautiful woman's tearful appearance, so pitiful it tugged at the hearts of the three young girls, causing them to harbor some resentment towards their young master.

[Young Master... he can't really be impotent, can he?]

You silently scoff to yourself, "Sad?"

What saddens me is that I cannot freely use so many resources of the Jade Maiden Sect, and what saddens me is the delayed progress of my dual cultivation techniques.

As for that damned husband, he'd be better off dead outside.

[With such a privileged family background, why doesn't he stay in the clan and focus on cultivation? What's he doing running around outside all day? And he even has the audacity to call it challenging all sorts of geniuses.]

【Pah! In the same realm, I could tear him apart with one hand.】

"Don't stop working."

You gently lifted your eyelids, which were almost stuck together, and whispered a reminder.

"Huh? Oh..."

The maids exchanged glances, wondering why the young mistress didn't seem so heartbroken anymore.

【...】

When Ikegawa stepped into the courtyard, this was the leisurely and pleasant scene he saw.

His gaze swept around the room, finally settling on the woman on the recliner who seemed to have no bones.

You had actually sensed his arrival long ago, but you didn't act rashly, intending to first gauge his character.

[Have you seen Ikegawa's portrait? How would you describe him...? He'd probably be the type of handsome man with a strong physique and a resolute face.]

He strode quickly to your side, his towering height of over 1.9 meters creating an imposing presence and completely blocking the sunlight from your view.

You slowly opened your eyes, and as your eyes met, you clearly saw the disdain and scrutiny in them; there wasn't even a trace of amazement.

Goodness, this is a tough nut to crack.

There are two ways to deal with this type of person.

The first approach is to yield, using gentleness to overcome rigidity. But seeing the disdain in his eyes, you know that constantly yielding will only embolden this kind of person.

So you spoke.

"So you finally decided to come back?"

The merciless tone of the interrogation not only stunned the three maids, but even Chi Chuan was momentarily speechless.

"On your wedding day, running off to fool around is not only disrespectful to me, but also contemptuous of my master, Master Huoyan!"

Before he could even speak, you, having already seized the moral high ground, quickly pressed your advantage.

"Have you considered your uncle and aunt's feelings? Do you want to ruin the friendship between the two major sects?"

[Ikegawa fell silent.]

Because he had nothing to say, and even thought what you said made a lot of sense.

"This was indeed my doing..."

You waved your hand, interrupting him again, instantly dispelling any languid air you had.

After sitting up straight, the other person, who is 1.9 meters tall, suddenly seemed a head shorter in front of you.

Before he could even frown, your barrage of probing questions was thrown at him again.

"Who did you challenge this time? What was their cultivation level? Did you win or lose?"

[Ikegawa moved his lips, but all the words he wanted to say ended up coming out of his mouth.]

Because he lost, all his words became excuses.

The words "What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?" were ultimately stuck in his throat, because the woman before him was now his wife in name only, and she truly had the right to question him.

[You little brat! How could you possibly lose to these honest cultivators when it comes to language and words?]

The truly superior strategy is never to prove one's innocence. Rather, it's to strike first, trapping the opponent in a self-justification process, thus securing an invincible position.

Seeing his frustrated yet defiant expression, you knew the time had come to deliver the final blow.

You slowly stood up, walked up to Chi Chuan, looked him up and down, and then smiled disdainfully.

"What is your cultivation level?"

He didn't want to answer, as it would make him seem dull and like he was being led by the nose by this woman.

But seeing your disdainful look, he couldn't help himself; he slightly raised his chin, trying to regain a bit of his arrogance.

"Late stage of Foundation Establishment."

【"oh..."】

You gave a nonchalant reply, and before he could react, you uttered another startling statement.

"If we fight each other in the same realm, whoever wins will be at the beck and call of the household. Do you dare agree?"

[Ikegawa wanted to say, "Why should we fight someone of the same realm?", but looking at the petite and delicate appearance of the woman in front of him, he couldn't bring himself to say it.]

Similarly, he didn't believe that he couldn't even defeat a woman in the same situation.

【"good!"】

[His words had barely faded when a pale fist rapidly enlarged in his pupils. Before the fist even landed, Chi Chuan felt a chill on his cheek; the force was like a knife, scraping his skin and causing a dull ache.]

[Body cultivation?!]

[Ikegawa was startled. A shield appeared in his hand as he quickly retreated.]

["Bang—Crack!"]

The top-tier magical shield shattered instantly, and the figure in red, undeterred by any decrease in speed, stalked her once more like a ghost.

"Damn it!"

[Chi Chuan cursed inwardly. His opponent's movement skills were no worse than his, and having lost the initiative, breaking the stalemate now seemed rather difficult.]

In the cultivation world, everyone looks down on body cultivators, but everyone knows that you must never let a body cultivator get close.

Meanwhile, the three maids had already dashed out of the courtyard, shouting as they ran:

"Oh no! Oh no! The young master has hit the young mistress!"

...

(I'm still half asleep, guys. I was so busy yesterday that I slept until after 2 PM. I quickly got up and wrote a chapter.)

(Only three updates today~)
