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

"Master, didn't you say that cultivating immortality isn't about fighting and killing, meow?"

Zhou Xiaohei stared blankly at this scene, his little brain completely unable to comprehend it.

"Tell me, didn't I solve the problem with minimal effort?"

Your face was full of disdain.

[These methods are only suitable for cultivators in the Fellow Daoist Realm and Lesser Fellow Daoist Realm. Do you think someone in the Ant Realm is worthy of such treatment?]

As for cultivators at the senior level, it's best to avoid trying to extort them.

"What happened?"

Hearing the commotion, Wen Qian rushed over. She glanced at the woman in red splashing in the pond, then turned to look at you.

[Your eyes were slightly red, your face was pale, and you looked as if you had suffered a great injustice.]

She already had a plan in mind.

"She...she got kicked by the cat."

You sniffed, your voice soft and sweet, and casually pushed Zhou Xiaohei, who was yawning in your arms, in front of you.

[Xiao Hei: ???]

Upon hearing this, Wen Qian paused slightly, then chuckled and ruffled Xiao Hei's hair.

"Don't you dare kick people like that next time!"

【"Meow..."】

[Xiao Hei wanted to speak up, but upon meeting your kind gaze, it could only lower its head and softly call out.]

"Hmm, good girl."

Wen Qian assumed the kitten was intelligent and knew it had caused trouble, and smiled with satisfaction.

She immediately turned to look at you, her gaze softening instantly.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not managing things properly and causing you distress. Go back and rest."

You pursed your red lips, curtsied, and turned to go back to your room.

Watching your departing figure, Wen Qian felt a pang of pity and sighed softly.

With such a gentle and mild temperament, she must have suffered a lot in this cruel world of cultivation.

【...】

[Half a month after joining, your reputation began to quietly spread within this relatively quiet circle.]

A stunningly beautiful woman has arrived at Yunshui Xiaozhu. Not only is her appearance breathtaking, but her musical skills are also absolutely exquisite.

That would be absolutely wonderful!

Although you haven't consciously devoted yourself to studying music theory, through so many simulations and refinements, your piano skills have unknowingly transcended the ordinary and reached a state of perfection.

On this day, you were dressed in pristine white, like a celestial being descended to earth, sitting quietly on the second-floor platform, gently playing the strings of your zither.

Though your downcast eyes appear serene, the flowing melody and your aloof demeanor intertwine to create an inexplicable sorrow.

Inside the private room, a man also dressed in white frowned slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he unconsciously murmured:

"It's been three days."

"What do you mean, three days?"

The handsome young man opposite him leaned closer, his face full of curiosity.

Before he could finish speaking, a hand with distinct knuckles ruthlessly pressed against his forehead, pushing his wobbling head back into place.

【"cut!"】

The handsome young man pouted unhappily, then his gaze lingered on the woman on the platform for a moment before his eyes darted around.

"Hey bro, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on her, would you?"

He seemed to have uncovered some earth-shattering secret, and leaned closer to the man again, his voice filled with excitement.

【"No."】

[Tantai Jin's tone was somewhat stiff.]

Even he himself couldn't quite explain what that feeling was; he only felt that every note flowing from the woman's fingertips resonated perfectly with his own state of mind, as if he had met a true soulmate.

The handsome young man opposite him fell silent, his eyes wide as he stared at his older brother's slightly flustered expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

[In all these years, when has he ever seen his elder brother so embarrassed? Could it be that his sister-in-law is finally about to appear!]

Tantai Yanya suppressed the indescribable excitement in her heart, her gaze fixed intently on the stage.

Seeing that the woman in white had finished her song and was about to get up and leave the stage, she immediately beckoned to a servant waiting nearby and whispered a few instructions in his ear in a very fast voice.

The servant looked troubled after hearing this.

"My older brother requested it."

Tantai Yanya raised an eyebrow, slightly lifted her chin, and pointed to the white-clad figure sitting upright in the private room.

The servant's expression turned solemn. After bowing respectfully, he hurried off to the backstage area.

With Tantai Jin's cultivation level, he could certainly hear their whispers. Normally, he would have already turned cold and stormed off.

This time, however, he surprisingly didn't react; instead, a faint sense of anticipation surfaced in his heart.

A moment later, the servant led a woman with red-rimmed eyes into a private room.

Seeing your expression, Tantai Jin unconsciously furrowed his brows.

【"Bang!"】

Tantai Yanya slammed her hand heavily on the table, her face contorted with anger as she abruptly stood up.

"Who did this?!"

[This is the future sister-in-law she has her eye on, and she's actually being bullied in this tiny Yunshui Cottage?]

Startled by the sudden loud noise, you shrank back, then realized it wasn't directed at you, and let out a soft sigh of relief.

You lowered your eyes, concealing the fleeting glint of cunning in them, and when you looked up again, you appeared utterly pitiful.

"May I ask what business you two gentlemen have with me?"

You bowed slightly to the two of them and spoke softly.

The voice was incredibly weak, with a barely perceptible hoarseness, clearly indicating that the person had just been crying.

[It's so heartbreaking to see Tantai Yanya like this!]

She desperately wanted to rush forward in her brother's place, to hug this beautiful woman who had suffered so much injustice tightly, and to comfort her.

"Oh dear, we..."

【"go out!"】

Tantai Jin slowly lifted his eyelids, his tone barely changing, merely glancing indifferently at the girl who was about to speak again.

Upon seeing this, Tantai Yanya couldn't help but shiver.

She knew her eldest brother was truly angry, and that it was crucial not to confront him directly at a time like this, especially since her second brother had been beaten half to death in the past.

The girl silently left the private room, turning back before she did so, giving you a wink and mouthing "good luck!"

You chuckled inwardly, thinking, "She's still the same good sister who always gets her brother into trouble."

A moment of silence fell over the private room.

You seem quite uncomfortable in this atmosphere. After all, you're a young, unmarried woman, and it's certainly inappropriate for you to be in such a private space with a strange man.

[Tantai Jin keenly noticed your unease. After a moment's thought, he slowly spoke:]

Why are you crying?

You paused slightly, looked up at him curiously, then forced a smile and shook your head, saying:

"Young master, perhaps you shouldn't ask."

Upon hearing this, an inexplicable anger rose within Tantai Jin, and his tone unconsciously turned serious, carrying an air of unyielding authority:

【"tell me."】

You bit your lower lip, stood quietly in place, head down, unwilling to speak.

The next moment, a tall figure approached, enveloping your petite frame in an oppressive shadow.

You instinctively tried to back away, but your wrist was suddenly grabbed with such force that you couldn't break free.

【"tell me."】

You seemed startled; your body tensed instinctively, tears welled up instantly, and you spoke haltingly, sobbing:

"I... Waaaaah... There's a lady in the building who doesn't like me... Waaaah..."

With just one sentence, Tantai Jin understood.

Someone like him, whose very nature embodies the supremacy of the strong, should be disgusted by a woman who only knows how to cry and whine.

But at this moment, he surprisingly raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of your eyes.

[His tone also unconsciously softened a bit:]

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."

You stared at him blankly for a moment, seemingly taking several breaths to understand what he meant.

Your expression changed, and in your panic, you grabbed his wrist tightly and said urgently:

"No, she knows some very powerful people."

【"oh?"】

Noticing the slightly cool hand on his wrist, Tantai Jin's lips curled into a slight smile, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Tell me, I want to see which family's genius this is!"

You nervously glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then tiptoed closer to his ear and whispered:

"It is said to be Tantai Jin, the strongest prodigy of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion."

[Tantai Jin: !!! ??? ? ? ? ]
