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

[For the next month, you watched the entire grand competition of prodigies jointly hosted by the two great immortal dynasties.]

[This competition attracted nearly half of the cultivators on the Xuanhuang Prefecture's Prodigy Ranking, demonstrating its exceptional prestige. However, the mysterious number one among them was absent, thus preventing anyone from witnessing it.]

[Moreover, Lin Bufan didn't arrive for some reason. Given the nature of the chosen one, he must have encountered an even greater opportunity!]

You almost ground your teeth to powder again.

In the final battle, Tantai Jin, the older brother of Tantai Yanya, defeated the runner-up to claim the championship.

This child is no ordinary person!

Not only is his cultivation speed extremely fast, but his combat strength is also unparalleled among those of the same level.

Unfortunately, you haven't found an opportunity to get close to him this past month, and it seems that Tantai Yanya hasn't been very helpful either, failing to persuade him to come looking for you.

Otherwise, I might even be able to snag a reward from the Phoenix Blood Pool...

[Seven days after the competition ended.]

[In a luxurious guest room at a restaurant in the capital of Tianfeng, the morning light slowly crept up the bed, illuminating the dusty room with a golden glow.]

You lean against the couch, your outer robe draped loosely over your shoulders, your hair slightly disheveled, and the corners of your eyes still tinged with a faint red.

[Ikegawa stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with an unyielding melancholy.]

You raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

"It's alright, my husband. You're still young. Even if you're eliminated in the first round, I won't laugh at you."

"Are you really going to return to Huanzong?"

He suddenly turned around, seemingly ignoring your teasing.

[Of course not. When you get back, Master Huoyan will probably skin you alive, after all, you've ruined her most beloved disciple.]

"Yes, after all, it's been twenty years since I last returned. There are still many old friends in the sect; I should go back and visit them."

You slowly rose, and with a wave of your hand, you were fully dressed.

"Then I'll go with you!"

Looking at the man who had suddenly become somewhat agitated, you sighed helplessly to yourself.

Good brothers should part ways amicably; why do they all become so sentimental when it comes to saying goodbye?

You slowly stepped forward, gently pressing your cheek against his chest.

"Husband, it's time you took on some of the responsibilities of the Jade Maiden Clan. Don't always make Mother worry about these things."

After all, there's no longer any profit to be made from the Jade Sect in the short term. These sects aren't as foolish as people think, throwing all their resources into their treasuries.

[But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the world of cultivation, there are countless storage treasures. Why would someone store all their treasures in an obvious treasure vault? Wouldn't that be inviting people to rob them?]

Even back in the City Lord's mansion treasury of Broken Dragon City, you could sense no fewer than seven or eight auras; the defenses were so tight that there was absolutely no chance to borrow any resources.

Upon hearing this, Ikegawa opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't utter a word in rebuttal. He simply held you tightly in his arms without saying a word.

【...】

[Half a day later, at another exit of the capital.]

Tantai Yanya looked around anxiously, and after a while, she finally spotted a familiar figure in red in the crowd.

"Sister Lianhuan!"

Although you didn't win over Tantai Jin this month, your relationship with Tantai Yan Ya has gotten better and better. She has also dropped her pretense and now calls you "sister."

[At the same time, you also discovered more suspicious points, such as her frequent sudden departures, and the unfamiliar aura she exuded when you happened to meet her.]

All of this undoubtedly points to a very absurd, yet perfectly reasonable, explanation.

In the words of my past life, this would be called multiple personalities; in the cultivation world, it would probably be—one body with two souls.

[Then the other soul within her body is about to emerge—the Moon Goddess!]

Things weren't as simple as you imagined.

You smiled, stepped forward, and took her hand, your expression a mixture of anticipation and shyness.

"Where...where is your brother?"

"Oh~ so my sister didn't come to see me?"

[Tantai Yanya feigned displeasure.]

[Zhou Xiaonuan has been genuinely unhappy lately, and is currently standing behind you with a pout, because you haven't had time to bond with this little kitten.]

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet him."

Seeing you blush and lower your head, Tantai Yanya finally felt satisfied and pulled you towards the city gate.

She loved watching beautiful women blush and blush, and sometimes even regretted not being born a man, wondering how many beautiful sights she would miss!

Outside the city gate, a magnificent flying boat was already waiting.

After the three of you boarded the flying boat, Tantai Yanya dragged you all the way to the top-floor pavilion.

[A man sat upright beside a wooden table in the pavilion, dressed in snow-white robes, his face as handsome as jade.]

[He exuded an aloof and unapproachable air, his slender fingers gently caressing a jade cup.]

He completely ignored the arrival of the three of you, and instead leisurely poured himself another glass of wine, which he then slowly drank.

[Tantai Yanya puffed out her cheeks, about to unleash a torrent of curses, when you pressed her hand down. You gently shook your head at her and gestured for Zhou Xiaonuan to go play by herself.]

[Zhou Xiaonuan: !!! ??? ? ? ? ]

You slowly approached and gracefully sat down opposite the man.

"Young master, you're drinking alone..."

Tantai Jin frowned slightly, about to tell him to leave, but his attention was successfully drawn to your next sentence.

"Could it be that he can't hold his liquor? Is he afraid of being laughed at?"

You didn't maintain your usual dignified and alluring demeanor.

He stared intently at the other man, a perfectly timed mockery playing on his lips, revealing the arrogance inherent in a man.

【"Heh~"】

[Tantai Jin chuckled softly, saying nothing, as he lightly raised his fingertips, a cup of strong, fragrant liquor slowly floated to the ground in front of you.]

[Tantai Yanya, standing to the side, was extremely anxious. These two didn't seem to be about to have a romantic moment; it felt like they were about to start fighting!]

You pressed down on your glass, but instead of drinking, you looked at the other person with a defiant expression.

"Young Master Tantai, drinking like this is truly boring."

Before he could speak, you continued:

"This humble woman is not particularly talented, but her alcohol tolerance is quite good. Would you dare to remove your spiritual energy shield and have a match with me?"

Having said that, you channeled all your spiritual energy into your inner world, picked up the spirit wine on the table, and drank it down in one gulp.

Just as Tantai Jin was waiting for you to make a fool of yourself, he saw only a blush rise to your pretty face, and then you looked at him with a defiant gaze again.

His hand holding the wine glass trembled almost imperceptibly before he looked up and carefully examined the newcomer.

The woman was exceptionally beautiful, with exquisitely drawn features and skin as smooth as jade. Her cherry-red lips appeared even more rosy and alluring after drinking.

But what's most captivating is the unique aura she exudes at this moment—bold yet measured.

Like a lotus rising from the water, it remains unstained by the mud, beautiful yet not gaudy.

Tantai Jin lowered his eyes, suppressed his spiritual power, and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp before slowly speaking:

"What's your name?"

You smiled nonchalantly, poured yourself another drink, and looked back at the other person with just the right amount of appreciation in your eyes.

"Shen Lianhuan."
