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

The next seven days became the darkest period in the life of the Yuan-eating Green-shelled Turtle.

That nauseating stench was ever-present, as if glued to its nose, refusing to dissipate.

Even worse, those sticky "hidden weapons" rained down from the sky without any pattern throughout the twelve hours of the day, making it impossible for the creature to defend against them.

On the morning of the eighth day, just as it had finally fallen asleep, a stench, stronger and more intense than ever before, suddenly wafted towards its nose.

【"roar!!!"】

[The Azure-Armored Tortoise, now utterly frenzied, burst forth from the water and began indiscriminately attacking the surrounding dense forest. Shockwaves instantly uprooted trees, sending wood chips and mud swirling through the air like tornadoes.]

But the behemoth clearly had no intention of stopping there; its bloodshot eyes gleamed as it slowly pushed its way into the distant dense forest.

The overwhelming spiritual pressure forced the surrounding demonic beasts to scatter in all directions, and in an instant, this once dark and tranquil forest was transformed into a small-scale beast tide.

Meanwhile, two furtive figures, concealed by a mysterious force, had already slipped into the lake.

These two figures are naturally you and Lin Bufan.

After descending for nearly the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, you finally saw the enormous purple flower in the center of the lake.

"Huh? It's actually a Purple Spirit Green Pattern Fruit."

The old man with the ring let out a surprised sound.

"Is there anything special about this fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan immediately stepped forward, curiously examining the fruit shimmering with purple light at the center of the flower.

"It's considered the finest among longevity fruits."

At this point, the old man with the ring let out a strange laugh:

"Hehe, I wonder which old monster painstakingly raised this for so many years, only to have you steal its fruits. They're probably heartbroken and spitting blood now."

【"Teacher~"】

[Your gaze was fixed intently on the purple fruit, and your sweet voice rang out at just the right moment.]

"Should we pick them directly?"

"Do you see the green filament connecting the purple fruit to the flower's center?"

The old man's figure floated out of the ring, pointing to the center of the purple flower.

"When picking this fruit, never use brute force. You must use spiritual energy to create threads, following the direction of the green spiritual patterns on the purple fruit, and inch by inch, peel away its connection to the giant flower beneath your feet."

He paused, then added a hint of schadenfreude, adopting a look of anticipation as he continued:

"If the spiritual energy gets out of control or the spiritual runes break midway, the effectiveness of this ten-thousand-year-old spiritual fruit will be greatly reduced, or it may even become a useless fruit."

After the old man with the ring finished speaking, I expected to see your tense and serious expressions, but instead I found you two staring intently at him.

The old man's lips twitched slightly, and his smile slowly faded. They really weren't letting this old man off the hook at all!

A moment later, you happily stored the purple fruit in your system space.

[After all, there are three people here... two and one ghost. The old man with the ring is a spirit, so he's naturally useless; while Lin Bufan is full of disdain, saying bluntly that with his current cultivation speed, he'll never live to see the day his lifespan runs out.]

Therefore, only you, this useless little Karami, need your lifespan extended.

Despite being subtly outmaneuvered by this kid again, you still tiptoed up to him and gently placed a kiss on his cheek.

【"Junior brother~"

Your eyes sparkled, and you softly called out.

【"Senior sister~"

He responded softly, his gaze fixed intently on you.

Just as you were gazing at each other tenderly, in the height of your romance, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from afar.

"Let's hurry, that turtle will be back soon."

[The old man's disdainful voice reached your ears; you two exchanged a knowing smile, everything understood without a word...]

【...】

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

A caravan was slowly making its way through a deep, dense forest. At the very end of the caravan, a simply dressed man and a woman of unremarkable appearance followed at a leisurely pace.

They appeared to be constantly vigilant about the dangers around them, but in reality, their minds were already wandering far away.

"Junior brother, according to the map, we'll be able to enter the heart of the Bone-Corroding Poison Forest in another half month."

You gazed into the dark jungle ahead, your voice filled with unwavering worry.

"Can your childhood sweetheart really help you obtain the Gu worm? Isn't there any danger?"

Listening to your endless rambling these past few days, a helpless yet indulgent smile appeared in Lin Bufan's eyes.

[Under the cover of his wide sleeves, he quietly reached out and gently hooked his hand around your little finger.]

"Senior sister, don't worry. Qian'er and I grew up together. Although she only revealed her true identity to me a few years ago, she is absolutely trustworthy."

[Tsk~ Absolutely trustworthy~]

Of course I can trust you; that little girl sees more than just you as a brother!

You silently muttered a complaint, then casually reached out and grasped his hand, while secretly plotting how to bring that little girl to your side, ensuring everything went smoothly.

【"alert!"】

The cultivator leading the way suddenly sent out a signal.

You are now in the Bone-Eating Poison Forest, one of the five most poisonous areas in Toad-Sea Prefecture. Compared to the primeval forest you passed through earlier, the level of danger here has increased dramatically.

[Leaving aside the various poisonous insects, the surrounding air was filled with a suffocating, sweet-smelling miasma, and even the light had an unsettling pale purple tint.]

The reason you chose to conceal your appearance and blend into this caravan is because they can not only provide you with specially made antidotes, but also shield you from questioning and harassment by various forces along the way, saving you a lot of trouble.

The Bone-Corroding Poison Forest is the territory of the Miao clan, one of the Three Palaces and Four Clans. Lin Qianqian's original name was Miao Qianqian.

Aside from the Miao people, there is a higher concentration of small and medium-sized forces here compared to other places, because this naturally poisonous land is a paradise for Gu and poison cultivators.

The commotion ahead intensified. You exchanged a glance and quietly blended into the crowd.

"Senior, our Hundred Herbs Caravan has already paid the full amount of toll stones to your sect. Why are you still stopping us?"

The caravan manager suppressed his doubts and fears, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully.

Following his gaze, they saw several cultivators dressed in dark green, close-fitting attire lined up at the front of the group. In front of them, a gaunt old man stood with his hands behind his back, firmly blocking their path.

【"Hehehe..."】

The old man let out a chilling laugh, his hoarse voice slowly echoing through the deathly silent forest:

"We suspect there are unidentified and dangerous individuals infiltrated into your team; we must conduct a thorough investigation."

【"this..."】

Upon hearing this, the caravan manager's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

【What kind of reason is that? Even someone deliberately picking a fight wouldn't speak like that!】

What constitutes a dangerous person with an unidentified background?

Half of their caravan's guards were temporarily recruited rogue cultivators; weren't they all people of unknown identity?

[Amidst the crowd, you observe the old man's relentless stance, and a growing sense of unease arises within you. Why do you keep encountering such situations on your journey here?]

But when your gaze fell upon Lin Bufan's restless figure, a sudden sense of clarity washed over you.

[Could this be another one specifically targeting this kid...?]
