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

"What did you say?"

[Tantai Jin unconsciously raised his voice.]

He could hardly believe his ears. In this city of Fallen Stars, someone dared to use his name to swindle and deceive?

[And the woman he was bullying was the only one he had ever felt even a little bit of affection for in all these years.]

Startled by this sudden reaction, you jerked your hand back like a frightened fawn, instinctively shrinking back.

Tantai Jin lowered his eyes, looking at your pitiful appearance, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

He took a deep breath and tried to soften his tone:

"Don't be afraid, take me to see her."

You pursed your red lips, hesitated for a moment, then mustered your courage and gently hooked your hand around a section of his sleeve, your tone carrying a hint of pleading:

"How about we don't go?"

The slight tugging at his cuff made Tantai Jin's heart inexplicably soften.

He looked down at you, gently ruffled your hair, and a faint smile played on his lips.

"Do you know who I am?"

Upon hearing this, you blinked your clear, large eyes, and with a hint of curiosity, looked him up and down again.

[The moment your eyes met, a blush rose on your pretty face. You hurriedly looked away, your voice barely audible:]

"I...I don't know."

"I am the Tantai Jin you speak of, the number one genius of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion."

Normally, Tantai Jin would scoff at such empty fame, even finding it utterly tiresome.

He knew better than anyone that in this vast and boundless world of cultivation, throughout the long era of cultivation, cultivators with his talent were as numerous as carp crossing a river, and there were even more extraordinary beings among them.

[A prodigy?]

[Those who fail to become true powerhouses are ultimately just the subject of idle gossip and idle chatter.]

But today, seeing the undisguised surprise and admiration in the woman's eyes, he felt a strange, unprecedented sense of comfort welling up inside him.

Seeing you just staring blankly at him, Tantai Jin twirled his fingers, but couldn't resist reaching out and pinching your cheek.

"How about it? Can you take me there now?"

You puffed out your cheeks, angrily pulled your hand away from his large grip, hesitated for a moment, and then muttered to yourself, trying to save face:

"Then...you don't need to go. I'll avoid her from now on and not let her bully me."

【"Heh~"】

Tantai Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Where did this adorable little thing suddenly come from?

Two blushes rose on your cheeks as you gently nudged the man who was still blocking your way.

"You...you move aside..."

Tantai Jin had always considered himself a man of considerable manners, at least not one to force others to do things against their will.

But today, seeing your embarrassed and angry expression, the wicked urge to bully you that had been brewing in his heart grew wildly like weeds, impossible to suppress.

Thinking about it, he did it.

Instead of backing down, he leaned forward, trapping you completely between himself and the wall.

【"you..."】

You looked up and met the man's deep eyes, instantly falling silent in fright.

Before you could even react, a large, well-defined hand gripped your chin, and a hot breath followed.

【"Ugh!"】

You stared wide-eyed in disbelief, your long eyelashes trembling violently. After a moment of stunned silence, a misty light quickly welled up in your eyes.

"Waaaaah!"

After a long while, noticing the faint struggles and resistance of the person in his arms, Tantai Jin reluctantly released his grip.

[Smack!]

A sharp, clear slap rang out suddenly, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet private room.

[It wasn't until you felt a slight tingling sensation in your palm that you belatedly realized what you had done, and hurriedly pushed open the door and ran out.]

[You had just rushed out of the room when you bumped into a dumbfounded Tantai Yanya.]

She looked at you, then at the room, and instead of getting angry, she gave you a big thumbs up.

You didn't dare look at her, quickly turned around, and fled this place of trouble.

[After running for a while, you felt a mist of passion filling your body, and the smile on your lips became more and more pronounced.]

Inside the private room, Tantai Jin stood there for a long time before touching his cheek, which felt no pain at all. An unprecedented aggressive glint appeared in his eyes.

He was determined to have this woman.

But in reality, it remains to be seen who the prey is and who the hunter is...

【...】

A year later, an extremely luxurious flying ship rose from the ground within the city of Liyun and soared into the sky.

Inside the attic on the top floor of the flying boat, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

You, dressed in an elegant white gown, sit gracefully before the guqin, and the intermittent notes flow from your fingertips like a clear spring.

The ethereal music seemed to possess a soothing magic, causing the man sitting beside him to completely relax, his expression one of languor and contentment.

After a long while, the music finally faded away.

Before you could even catch your breath, a long, strong arm swept across you. With a sudden, soft gasp, you were pulled straight into a warm, firm embrace.

Feeling the large hand groping your waist, you blushed and gently pushed Tantai Jin away, whispering:

"What are you doing..."

"Qianqian, can we not wait until after we're married..."

"No, that won't work~"

You raised your slender fingers and gently pressed them against his lips.

Seeing the undisguised disappointment and frustration in his eyes, your heart finally softened.

After a moment's hesitation, you raised your arms and gently wrapped them around his neck, offering your soft, red lips.

[Then I was forced to kiss her for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...]

When your lips parted, the corners of your eyes were red, and your gaze held a hint of helplessness.

You paused for a moment, slightly out of breath, poured him a full glass of wine, and then picked up your own glass.

"Brother Jin, have another drink with me..."

【"good."】

[Tantai Jin gazed at you, a gentle smile blooming in his deep eyes, and softly agreed.]

The wine entered my throat, and the cup was finished.

You slowly set down your wine glass, the feigned vulnerability and naivety in your eyes gradually fading away, replaced by indifference.

A moment later, Tantai Jin felt a sudden dizziness, and his vision blurred uncontrollably.

In the final moment before his consciousness sank completely into darkness, he saw a face that was still familiar, yet held a completely unfamiliar expression.
