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

"Junior brother, we must stop them from doing such heinous things!"

【"Forehead..."】

The master and apprentice fell silent as they watched the sudden glint in your eyes.

[Old man: This little girl really is the type who won't get up early for nothing.]

Lin Bufan: Senior sister is so cute.

"Teacher, are there many places like this where ten-thousand-year-old spiritual fruits are cultivated?"

You didn't care about their feelings at all.

No matter how flawless someone's acting is, it can't withstand close daily interaction. Over time, their true colors will inevitably be revealed.

Perhaps this Sage of Profound Mystery had already seen through some clues, but was simply too lazy to point them out.

[Besides, you were already planning to subtly reveal your somewhat "greedy" nature. If you remain flawless and don't give Xiao Fanzi any opportunity to show his true colors, how will he find a way to solidify the relationship?]

【"......"

The old man with the ring twitched his lips, but seeing the two pairs of expectant eyes, he sighed helplessly and had no choice but to give in.

"Of course, there can't be too many! The place that can cultivate ten-thousand-year-old spiritual fruits using the lifespan of mortals is also known as the Spirit-Severing Dead Land. There is not a trace of spiritual energy beneath its veins. It is entirely irrigated by the lifespan of mortals, so as to avoid the rules of heaven and earth."

[You rub your chin, then just grab a spot and pluck it hard.]

"Seemingly sensing your thoughts, the old man slowly said:"

"Once the ancient medicinal herb matures, this desolate wasteland will be imbued with spiritual energy and slowly disappear."

[Tsk~ What a pity.]

"Teacher, why is such an important place unguarded?"

Lin Bufan secretly squeezed the smooth, soft hand he held in his palm, earning a glare from you before awkwardly changing the subject.

"A Golden Core stage demonic beast guards the bottom of that lake."

The old man's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude, especially as he looked at your crestfallen face; he secretly chuckled to himself.

[This little girl is incredibly cunning. She seems gentle and weak most of the time, but in reality, her foolish apprentice is completely under her thumb. It's rare to see her so humiliated.]

It's quite fun to tease them a bit during this time.

However, Lin Bufan was displeased. Having spent so much time with his teacher, he was well aware of his teacher's perverse tastes.

Seeing his senior sister's pitiful appearance, he quickly and secretly sent a telepathic message to his teacher:

"Teacher, stop teasing Qingyu, you definitely have a way."

【"Hey!"】

The old man puffed out his beard and glared at the idiot, giving him a disapproving look.

To be honest, in that old man's eyes, you've long been considered his apprentice's wife; otherwise, he wouldn't have let you know you existed.

Although I haven't yet seen any particularly upright or kind qualities in you, the cultivation world doesn't value such superficial virtues. As long as you treat this silly boy sincerely, that's enough.

If you knew what the old man was thinking, you could confidently pat your chest and guarantee it:

[At least in this simulation, you will absolutely dedicate yourself to arranging a perfect Daoist companion experience for Xiao Fanzi.]

As the saying goes, "If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems."

You're still able to handle this basic "professional ethics" well.

Besides, Lin Bufan is actually a hard guy to dislike; you can make concessions on things other than personal gain.

Seeing your pitiful look, the old man didn't keep him in suspense any longer. After all, you've always treated him with great respect and are much more sensible than that brat.

"The spirit beast at the bottom of that lake is called the Yuan-Devouring Azure-Armored Turtle. It loves living near ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, yet it will not harm them. For this reason, it is often regarded by major sects as the best choice to guard spiritual fields and protect spiritual objects."

Seeing the furtive glances you gave the ring, the old man chuckled and continued:

"But this kind of monster has a fatal, yet little-known, weakness, which I happen to know a little about..."

【"teacher!"】

【"Teacher~"】

【"Hahaha!"】

The old man laughed heartily.

"You do this first, then do that..."

The initial confusion in your and Lin Bufan's eyes brightened further with his explanation.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, their lips curling into a villainous smile, and simultaneously let out a low, eerie "hehehe" laugh.

A moment later, you both stopped laughing and gave each other a disapproving look...

【...】

At the bottom of the dark, deep lake, all was silent.

A giant purple flower is quietly blooming in the mud, and at its heart, a purple, jade-like fruit floats silently, emitting an alluring and mysterious fragrance.

Beneath the giant flower, a colossal creature, its back clad in heavy, blue armor, was half-submerged in the mud. Occasionally, it would peek out to sniff the water, then retreat back into its shell with a look of blissful contentment.

["Splash! Splash!"]

Without warning, a series of muffled thuds as heavy objects crashed into the water shattered the tranquility of the lakebed.

The behemoth's previously languid movements abruptly ceased. It raised its massive head in confusion, its nostrils flaring violently.

The next second, those lantern-like eyes widened instantly, their pupils reflecting boundless shock and rage.

A nauseating, pungent stench surged forth from all directions.

The colossal beast's massive body suddenly unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size, smashing through the water's surface like a cannonball.

Then, facing the dark, dense forest ahead, it opened its blood-red maw and unleashed a roar that shattered the heavens:

【"roar!!!"】

Seeing no response, the giant beast circled above the lake for a long time before finally plunging into the water, its body radiating a murderous aura. A moment later, earth-shattering tremors echoed from the lakebed.

[And not far from the lake, under the shade of trees, two furtive figures were hiding, enveloped in a strange energy.]

"Ugh~ Junior brother, stay away from me, you stink!"

Seeing that the Azure-Armored Turtle had returned to the bottom of the lake, you gave Lin Bufan beside you a disdainful shove.

【"Senior sister~"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan looked at you pitifully, like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

[Tsk~ What a cute little puppy!]

"Alright, alright, it was Senior Sister's fault."

A slight pang of guilt rose in your heart, and you gently nestled into his embrace, pressing your cheek against his warm chest and rubbing it lightly.

After all, he had done all the dirty and tiring work of shoveling and scattering animal dung all by himself, even while holding his nose. It would be really unfair to complain about the family members now.

However, you didn't notice that the moment you leaned into his arms, a pleased smile quietly appeared on Lin Bufan's lips...

...
