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

[You monster! I can tell you're not...]

"You made a mistake," you beckoned with your finger. Zhou Xiaonuan, whose face had turned pale from saying the wrong thing, brightened up and immediately scurried over to you, squatting down in front of you.

You gently stroked the top of her head, and she squinted her eyes, nuzzling gently against your palm.

Hmm...based on your experience, the cat is probably a Siamese, which is very affectionate and definitely not one of those inherently evil short-haired cats!

"Zhou Xiaonuan, can you reveal your true form?"

A strange light flashed in your eyes.

Zhou Xiaonuan shrank back under your gaze, then cautiously shook her head.

"Sorry, I forgot how to change back."

[This is indeed a demon beast with amnesia, but the fact that it could transform into human form at such a low cultivation level means its bloodline must be extremely noble.]

Your eyes flickered slightly, and you gently patted her head again, your tone encouraging:

"Can you try to remember the name of your race?"

【"Race..."】

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaonuan was momentarily confused, then a five-colored light shimmered in her eyes.

The next moment, your pupils contracted sharply, and you saw a gigantic cat phantom with five tails reaching to the sky slowly materialize behind her, with countless galaxies seemingly floating beneath its feet in the void.

The oppressive force emanating from your very bloodline instantly soaked your entire body in cold sweat.

Fortunately, the phantom only lasted for a moment before dissipating like smoke. But just as it crumbled, you clearly felt it glance down at you.

【! ! ! 】

A feeling of being spied on just rose in your heart, but it vanished immediately.

Zhou Xiaonuan seemed oblivious to anything amiss, only unconsciously biting her finger. After a long while, she uttered two words hesitantly.

"A...destiny?"

"A sinister fate?!"

You gasped.

"Does your sister know?"

Zhou Xiaonuan's eyes lit up.

You decisively shook your head, saying you'd never heard of it, but the name sounded sophisticated.

[And that illusory figure just now was actually the real body of this somewhat simple-minded girl in front of us!]

[You're petting the cat... Zhou Xiaonuan's hand trembled almost imperceptibly. I wonder if she'll get beaten to death if she remembers this later?]

Oh, I just remembered we're in a simulation! Never mind then.

You increased the pressure, and Zhou Xiaonuan quickly lost herself in your caresses, her large eyes already narrowed to almost nothing.

You gaze at her with a deep, unsettling look, yet your heart is calculating gains and losses, a cruel fate...

[If we could obtain the assistance of a powerful demon, akin to a mythical beast, our future cultivation path would undoubtedly be smoother. However, this matter requires careful consideration.]

Most importantly, there must be absolutely no contact with Him in real life!

[The fact that the other party can't detect your background in the simulation is probably due to simulator protection, but that might not be the case in reality.]

Those who cultivate immortality must remember the three most important points: caution! caution! and more caution!

【...】

The day of the second round of selection arrived quickly. Under Chi Chuan's somewhat jealous gaze, you, carrying your accessory Zhou Xiaonuan, slowly walked towards the viewing platform.

Just as you were about to walk to an empty seat in the corner, you noticed a boy in the row in front of you staring intently at you.

[A sweep of divine sense revealed: Qi Refining Level 3?]

You smiled slightly, walked slowly to him, and stared intently into his eyes, your gaze full of affection.

"Excuse me, sir, may I sit here?"

The boy's face flushed bright red instantly, and he stammered:

"Okay...okay...sit here with me, no no no! I'll let you sit here..."

[As they were talking, the boy suddenly stood up and fled.]

【"Hehe~"】

You chuckled softly, then turned and sat down. The view from this spot was expansive, just what you wanted.

"Thanks, bro!"

["Thump!"]

The dashing young man promptly fell flat on his face.

Seeing this, you glanced down at the increasingly alluring body and sighed helplessly.

"Ah~ you're getting cuter and cuter."

Zhou Xiaonuan beside you simply clung to your arm, her round eyes scanning the surroundings warily, looking just like a kitten guarding its food.

Despite going through a round of selection, the first half of the competition was still uninteresting.

Until...

[Next match: Jiang Jibai vs. Yue Fei!]

Your eyes, which were about to close, snapped open, your gaze fixed intently on the white figure in the center of the room.

Seeing the other person's familiar, dignified demeanor, you didn't use your divine sense. Instead, you subtly lowered your eyes and looked around at the crowd at the sidelines.

[Finally, after locating the disciples of Tingxue Cliff, they spotted that familiar figure.]

【Tantai Yanya!】

[The other person's demeanor was completely different from when they first met. Gone was the liveliness and vivacity of before; instead, the aloofness and coldness of Mochizuki no Mikoto were now quite similar.]

[Did Tantai Yanya's counterattack fail?]

You didn't dare look any longer, quickly glancing at it before looking away.

What you don't know is that the moment your gaze fell upon her, they already noticed.

"Huh? It's that pretty lady, she's here too."

"Do you know him?"

"Hmm... I saw her in Nine Frost Plains before I plotted against you."

Upon hearing the word "scheming," Tantai Yanya's face contorted for a moment, before returning to its curious expression.

If you could see this scene, you would surely be able to deduce some clues.

Neither of them gained anything from that possession attempt, which led to this strange state of one body with two souls.

"I will eventually possess your body!"

Hearing the furious roar in her mind, Tantai Yanya shrugged indifferently.

"Then we'll see whether Consort Yue breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage first, or I do it first!"

"You just wait, I'll get my revenge sooner or later..."

"Shut up! I'm going to find some pretty ladies. Hurry up and hand over control of your body, or don't blame me for being rude."

Tantai Yan's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable air of domineering authority.

Strangely, the proud moon goddess did not refute this, clearly restrained by some means.

Sensing that she had regained control of her body, Tantai Yanya smiled slightly, looking with satisfaction at her now more handsome male attire, an outfit that both she and the Moon Goddess liked.

Just as you were lost in thought, that familiar opening line rang in your ears once more.

"Young lady, haven't we met somewhere before?"
