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

The struggle lasted a long time.

The two were of similar cultivation levels, and neither possessed a method capable of killing with a single blow.

Sensing the dwindling spiritual energy within him, the gray-haired man looked anxiously at the round-faced woman standing in the safe zone.

"Junior sister, help me! He can't hold on much longer!"

"You're the same."

The tall, thin man sneered and said at the same time:

"Junior sister, I admit defeat. As long as you kill him, I won't take a single Spirit-Nourishing Fruit, and I'm even willing to offer my storage bag."

By this point in the battle, the tall, thin man had realized that the round-faced woman had come for the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit from the very beginning.

No wonder she wasn't attacked by the guardian beast when she picked the fruit; she must have made preparations beforehand.

[Giving the two fruits to the gray-haired man was also a way to divert attention from his hatred.]

"Heh, don't dream about it. My junior sister and I are childhood sweethearts. Why would she help you?"

The man in gray looked confident.

But the round-faced woman remained standing there, motionless, as if she hadn't heard their conversation at all.

"Stop!"

The tall, thin man shouted sharply and retreated rapidly. The gray-haired man also sensed something was wrong and stopped attacking.

"Oh dear~ why did you stop playing?"

A seductive voice echoed through the quiet woods.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a head of long, fiery red hair.

Immediately afterwards, a seductive figure clad in a tight black dress gracefully emerged from behind the round-faced woman.

Her exquisite face was veiled by a black veil, revealing only a pair of narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, and her gaze held a playful and mocking quality.

【"Bang!"】

The round-faced woman collapsed to the ground. Upon closer inspection, the two men discovered a sharp weapon had pierced her heart through her back.

"You are not a disciple of my Heavenly Profound Sword Sect!"

The tall, thin man tightened his grip on his long sword, glancing around furtively, trying to find a way to escape.

The gray-haired man suddenly knelt down, staring blankly at the round-faced woman's corpse, muttering something under his breath.

"Oh? He's quite the romantic."

[When he got the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit just now, the greed in his eyes was unmistakable. Why is he pretending to be all lovey-dovey now?]

You scoffed.

The next moment, the smile in your eyes vanished abruptly, and three streaks of crimson light shot straight at the tall, thin man.

This person is too cunning; he must be killed first.

"Clang! Clang!"

With three sharp cracks, the tall, thin man was forced back several steps, his sword-wielding wrist trembling slightly.

His spiritual power was almost depleted, leaving him only able to rely on his physical body to withstand the onslaught. Yet, this situation gave him a glimmer of hope.

"You only have the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

Without uttering a word, the Blood Spirit Shuttle spun around and attacked again, while the user charged towards the opponent wielding a longsword.

The tall, thin man's expression changed. Even though your cultivation level isn't high, in this state, the top-tier magical artifact still put considerable pressure on him.

He glanced at the gray-haired man who was still in a daze, and cursed under his breath through gritted teeth.

【"waste!"】

As you charged straight at him, carrying three blood-red shuttles radiating murderous intent, a glint of madness gradually appeared in his eyes.

[Since you want me dead, then nobody else will have it easy!]

The tall, thin man abandoned his defenses altogether, channeling all his remaining spiritual energy into the longsword in his hand.

【"die!"】

A sharp sword aura slashed across the sky, reaching you in an instant. The next moment, your figure was cut in half at the waist.

【"ha..."】

The tall, thin man's face lit up with joy, and he was about to burst into laughter when he felt a chill in his chest.

Looking down, he saw a white sword tip protruding from his chest.

"Why...why..."

Then the man's legs gave way, and he slowly collapsed to the ground. Before he died, he saw the figure of the woman in the black dress in front of him, slowly dissipating...

[A mirage, boy.]

[You expressionlessly drew your longsword, flicked off the bloodstains, and turned your gaze to the suddenly enlightened, infatuated man.]

"Fellow Daoist, what do you say?"

The gray-haired man continued to stare blankly at the round-faced woman's corpse, ignoring you.

Your patience ran out, and you quickly walked towards him, sword in hand.

"I'll give you the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit; I hope you'll bury us together."

"Very well! I also greatly admire a devoted lover like you."

You nodded seriously, inwardly exclaiming, "Wow, did I somehow get hooked?"

【"Um!"】

[The lovelorn man gave you a knowing look, then resolutely drew his sword and committed suicide.]

【"Hiss~"】

[Looking at his figure lying in a pool of blood, you were momentarily stunned.]

[Not just friends? Seriously?]

Feeling both amused and uneasy, you collected all the storage bags on the ground.

Just as we were about to dig a grave for this ill-fated couple, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away:

"Damn it, who dares to kill my concubine?!"

【? ? ? 】

Are there more experts out there?

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, you turned around.

Well, what a small world! It's Wang Hao.

You watched as the anger on his face visibly melted away the moment he saw you, instantly transforming into lust and lewdness.

"You killed my concubine, how will you compensate me?"

You glanced at this spoiled brat with a complicated expression; his face practically screamed, "I want to sleep with you."

But seeing the three powerful figures behind him, you silently mourned for the lovelorn man for three seconds, then turned and ran into the woods without a word.

"Grab her for me!"

The three exchanged a glance, and two figures swiftly flew off on their swords towards the mountains and forests.

[After you entered the forest, the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique exploded to its limit, its speed leaving countless afterimages.]

Using the dense fog as cover, and after several detours, you quickly concealed all your presence and hid near the nest of a peak-level first-tier flying beast.

"Huh? How come the aura just vanished?"

After a while, the two streaks of light stopped above the trees, unsure of which direction to pursue.

Although those at the late stage of Qi Refining have awakened their divine sense, its range is rather limited, far from sufficient for tracking. In this misty, secret realm, they really have no way to do anything.

"Sigh~ Let's look again, lest that young master throws a tantrum."

The two began searching aimlessly, and just as they were about to stumble upon your location, a giant blue eagle blocked their way.

【「唳~!】

The loud chirping of birds echoed through the mountains and forests, but neither side made a move.

[A near-second-tier demonic beast, possessing some intelligence, could sense that the two people before it were not to be trifled with.]

"What do we do? It's a Gale Falcon; those things are tough to deal with."

"Let's go. Our mission is to protect him. There's no need to put ourselves in danger just to find him a woman."

【"Um."】

After exchanging a few words, the two decisively turned and left.

Watching their figures disappear into the mist, you touched the three Spirit-Nourishing Fruits in your arms and grinned. "I'll find a place to refine them first."

You easily concealed your presence and avoided the demonic beast, then leisurely walked towards the distant cave.
