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

"Senior, aren't you afraid I'll commit murder to extract the poison?"

You stare at the other person with a questioning look in your eyes.

At the same time, your powerful divine sense has silently spread out like an invisible spider web, firmly locking onto the old man. If he makes the slightest move, you will not hesitate to launch a sudden attack and kill him on the spot.

"Young friend, you are overthinking it. This Gu worm is extremely special; it must be implanted at the moment of a baby's birth to coexist with the flesh, blood, and soul. If that time is missed and it is forcibly implanted, the Gu worm will die instantly."

The old man simply smiled and shook his head.

"That's why we lowered our guard when we heard you were a foreign cultivator."

A moment later, you walked out of the stone chamber, your expression unchanged, but your heart filled with deep disappointment.

The old man's frankness in telling you the real reason suggests he hasn't been deceiving you. After all, clarifying things reduces outsiders' prying eyes.

Sigh~ It seems I'm really not destined to be a protagonist. There aren't that many "coincidences" falling from the sky and forcing opportunities into my hands. If I want something, I ultimately have to plan and strive for it step by step.

At that moment, the face of the boy from last night suddenly flashed into your mind.

[After going home last night, you thought about it a lot and finally figured out why you felt that inexplicable aversion to him.]

It's the look in their eyes!

The extreme indifference in that young man's eyes was exactly the same as the thoughts that occasionally crossed your mind.

[However, you're used to keeping these feelings hidden deep inside, and you can still treat people with sincerity and ease in your daily life, while that boy openly displayed these emotions.]

[Or perhaps this is simply his nature, but those without a similar mindset simply cannot perceive it.]

[It turns out that like repels like...]

【You know this kind of person too well. He'll definitely wreak havoc on the world in the future. Should we strike first and take him out?】

[The idea had barely surfaced when you forcefully suppressed it.]

[Because you were somewhat intimidated, feeling that the other party seemed very difficult to deal with; otherwise, given your style, you would have already acted decisively last night.]

Never mind.

【...】

As you bid farewell to Lan Duo and her father and returned alone to the mountaintop pavilion, an unexpected yet perfectly logical figure stood before you.

Your gaze shifted slightly, and a perfectly timed, gentle smile naturally appeared on your lips.

Her steps unconsciously slowed, and with her elegant and composed gait, her graceful figure appeared and disappeared in the interplay of light and shadow, displaying her exquisite beauty.

Even as you approached, the boy's gaze remained fixed on you, yet his calm eyes betrayed no emotion.

"This... young man?"

You took another step forward, breaking the safe distance between cultivators.

You, however, seemed completely oblivious, continuing to smile at the other person, even gracefully curtsying, your robe slightly open, outlining a breathtakingly alluring curve.

"What brings you to my residence?"

"You're quite capable. Would you like to make a deal with me?"

The young man didn't back down; instead, he met your approaching figure with a gentle, warm smile.

【"Hehe~"】

A slight stirring in your heart, your smile brightened, and you moved closer, gazing at the young man's handsome face, nodding with considerable appreciation.

[Then she visibly looked disappointed and said in a pitiful tone:]

"While I'd be happy to help a handsome young man like you, he only has the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help..."

"Sister~ I wasn't talking about your Qi cultivation level."

The young man chuckled softly, then reached out and gently grasped your fingers, lightly brushing away a tiny speck of dust from the back of your hand. This perfectly timed tenderness sent a warm sensation through your ears.

[You got flirted with?]

[Your smile almost cracked; since you transmigrated, this was the first time in this regard that you'd been turned the tables.]

[Master!]

A sense of unease crept into your heart. Previously, you hadn't taken the other person's background seriously, but their acting skills were putting you under immense pressure.

[Even with your preconceived notions, you still managed to blush at my teasing, not because you were smitten, but because you were struck by that perfectly timed emotion.]

Kid, you've successfully caught my attention!

You gently tried to pull your fingers away from the other person's grasp, but found it was held very tightly. You stopped struggling and instead lowered your eyes, letting a blush of shyness quickly spread from your fair ears to your cheeks.

You bit your lower lip slightly, a hint of coquettish reluctance in your expression:

"What is it that you were saying, young master?"

"Your body refinement cultivation is very strong."

The boy's smile grew even warmer, and he led you into the attic.

Before you could react, he calmly continued:

"Don't worry, sister. I didn't mean to spy on you. It was the Gu worms on my body that told me."

[You raised an eyebrow slightly. Yesterday you didn't conceal the powerful blood energy within you, partly because using "Dust Transformation" to suppress it would slow blood flow and hinder your self-recovery.]

Secondly, unless someone directly attacks, it's generally very difficult to detect a body cultivator's cultivation level.

Seeing that the other party didn't linger in the lobby but instead tried to lead you directly to a private room, your heart skipped a beat. Was this appropriate?

Seeing that the young man showed not a trace of emotion, you decisively withdrew your finger.

"I'm sorry, I already have a Daoist partner."

You admit the other person controlled their emotions well, but sorry, I'm hooked!

The boy was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing:

"What are you thinking about, sister?"

His tone was so sincere it was flawless, and his gaze rested openly on your face.

"I just noticed that you looked a little pale, so I thought I'd help you rest for a while..."

His hesitant, aggrieved look is just like that of a scheming, innocent character you saw in a short drama in your past life; you feel an urge to slap him.

Damn it!

You have to admit, you were completely defeated in the first round of verbal exchange.

"Tell me, how do we plan to cooperate? What benefits will I gain?"

Since you couldn't extract any useful information and didn't know how to stir up the other person's emotions in the short term, you simply dropped your affected and coquettish demeanor, letting the smile and shyness in your eyes completely disappear.

With a slight sway, you moved like a ghost, calmly taking a seat on a wooden chair in the center of the hall.

Seeing your expression, a subtle, almost imperceptible smile curved the corners of the boy's lips.

"Sister, could you tell me your specific level of body refinement?"

"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment."

Now that you've decided to cooperate, you'll no longer deliberately hide your abilities.

If we continue to be secretive, and he misjudges our capabilities, it could create unforeseen complications and negatively impact our cooperation.

Given their intelligence, their willingness to cooperate suggests they must offer something compelling.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, you raised your hand to interrupt him, smiling sweetly as you said:

"Little brother~ Since you want to cooperate, shouldn't you at least show some sincerity? For example, your cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, the young man's smile faded slightly, and he solemnly performed a cultivator's salute towards you.

"Mid-Foundation Building stage, Liu Guanzhi."
