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

["What is your relationship with that person who looks a lot like me?"]

After a moment's consideration, you chose the simplest question.

"She saved my life."

[Liu Guanzhi answered without the slightest hesitation, but you almost blurted out a curse.]

[Fine! Is this how you treat your savior?]

Even if we assume you weren't his savior, you do look very similar, don't you? Couldn't you have been a little nicer?

"How were you saved?"

Upon hearing this second question, Liu Guanzhi simply gazed at you silently, showing no intention of speaking.

You gave an awkward smile and tactfully changed the subject.

"Could you tell me about her?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guanzhi pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:

"She was... a very unlucky and naive person."

Upon hearing this, you were momentarily stunned, but didn't interrupt. Perhaps Liu Guanzhi's aesthetic sense differed from that of ordinary people.

Liu Guanzhi seemed unwilling to discuss that past relationship, and his words were extremely concise and restrained.

These few words, however few, stirred up a storm in your heart.

[In his description, you obtained a heaven-defying inheritance by chance, which attracted the covetousness and relentless pursuit of countless cultivators. With nowhere else to turn, you had no choice but to flee into the demon realm.]

After you returned from your cultivation in the Demon Realm, you slaughtered all your enemies who had offended you, ultimately becoming a peerless demon wanted by both the righteous and demonic factions.

Although the outcome was largely the same as what Tantai Jin described, the twists and turns involved were completely different.

Which of these two is lying, and who is hiding something?

What was originally a seemingly effortless, pre-death probing move appears to have uncovered a much larger problem.

After much contemplation, you finally came to a conclusion: someone is plotting against me!

[Liu Guanzhi? Or Tantai Jin?]

You have no clue what's going on. Neither of them seems to be lying, but you also have a growing suspicion about their stories.

"Do you know where the tradition lies?"

[The moment you finished speaking, you were met with a cold, icy glare, as if you were looking at an idiot.]

[If you don't know, you don't know. Why are you being so fierce!]

[You then asked several more questions, but didn't get any concrete answers.]

This kid is too cautious.

【Sigh~ then let's focus on some tangible benefits.】

"Liu Guanzhi, I won't ask anymore, but I have one condition!"

You simply put your hands on your hips, stand boldly in front of him, chin held high, looking like you'd kill yourself if he didn't agree.

"Tell me about it."

"Although I'm about to die, I have a natural love for cultivation. For the last three years, you must provide me with Blood Qi Gu for my cultivation!"

You will never give up even the slightest chance to become stronger!

[After staring at you intently for a long time, Liu Guanzhi finally nodded slowly.]

【"Can."】

So you happily spent another two and a half years cultivating yourself...

On this day, you sat cross-legged in the center of a strange array, surrounded by densely packed runes that emitted a chilling, eerie light.

"Do you remember the tribe we first wiped out?"

[You felt something was a little creepy, so you tried to lighten the mood.]

"Back then, a dwarf, desperate to survive, pretended to be a child to fool me. Guess what? I immediately threw two items at him: a dagger and a piece of candy, and asked him which one he chose. Do you know what those represent?"

You turned your head and looked at Liu Guanzhi, who was busy working nearby, with a smile.

Seeing that he was still looking down and ignoring what you said, you weren't annoyed and continued speaking to yourself:

"If he chooses candy, it means this kid is cunning and must not be kept alive! If he chooses a dagger, it means this kid is murderous and must not be kept alive! But if he chooses nothing, then this kid is rebellious and must not be kept alive either, hahaha..."

[As soon as you finished speaking, you laughed so hard you almost fell over, but after a long while Liu Guanzhi didn't react, you rolled your eyes and continued:]

"If he chooses both, do you know what that means?"

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

[Liu Guanzhi raised his head from within the formation and looked at you, who was laughing uncontrollably.]

"Liu Guanzhi, will you miss me if I die?"

You tilted your head back, that bright smile still playing on your lips, and gazed straight at him, asking softly.

The boy not far away simply gazed back at you silently, his expression as cold as still water, without the slightest ripple.

After a brief moment of eye contact, the smile on your lips faded, and your eyes unexpectedly reddened.

[Then, your lips trembled, and the moisture welling in your eyes instantly transformed into large tears, which fell like broken strings of pearls.]

"Liu Guanzhi, I'm afraid of pain. Can you make it easier for me to walk...?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in Liu Guanzhi's eyes. His hand, which was about to flick his sleeve, hovered in mid-air. After a long pause, he slowly uttered a single word:

【"good."】

You immediately stopped crying, and with your eyes still red, sat obediently in place.

But beneath this pitiful exterior lies a heart about to explode with anger.

[Damn it! Liu Guanzhi, you have no heart! I put in 200% of my acting skills, rehearsing that whole sequence of events in my mind a dozen times, and this is all the reaction I get?]

I'm tired. Let's destroy it!

After a long, deathly silence, Liu Guanzhi finally stood up slowly.

He stood before you and pointed a finger. A Gu worm, emitting a faint blue glow, slowly crawled out from his fingertip and silently melted into your heart.

The next moment, you felt an intense drowsiness wash over you, and the surrounding array simultaneously emitted a dense, eerie light.

In the final moment before he closed his eyes, you seemed to catch a glimpse of disappointment in the black-haired boy's eyes.

[Huh? I think there's also a very distant "Senior Sister"...]

【you are dead! 】

[Simulation Ended]

[Evaluation: Through countless trials and tribulations, your original aspirations remain unchanged. In this treacherous and unpredictable game of cultivation, you have steadfastly maintained your purest self amidst adversity.]

However, things often have two sides. If we can try to think outside the box and examine the situation from a different angle, we might be able to clear the fog and find an unexpected solution.

[A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole, and a nine-story tower can be built from a pile of earth. Believe that every bit of forbearance and effort you put in is secretly accumulating corresponding rewards.]

Perhaps, without even realizing it, you have already quietly arrived at the destination your heart longs for...
