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

"Master, what should we do with this person?"

Zhou Xiaohei clung to your side like a piece of chewing gum, craning his little head to curiously observe the bizarre scene before him.

"Little Black, how has your master treated you on a daily basis?"

You turned around, smiling, and reached out to ruffle its fur.

【"Meow~"】

Zhou Xiaohei comfortably squinted his eyes, letting out a soft sigh of enjoyment, then earnestly counted on his fingers as he recalled something.

"My owner is so good to me! Not only does he use me as a pillow and cushion, but when he's in a good mood, he even throws me around like a ball..."

[Feeling guilty, you quickly covered its mouth, abruptly interrupting the spell, your smile growing even gentler:]

"Ahem... In that case, could you watch over her here for your master?"

【"Okay, meow~"

"One hundred years."

【"Awoo-ha!"】

Looking at Zhou Xiaohei, whose fur had instantly bristled, you sighed helplessly, reached out to smooth down the stray hairs sticking up on its head, and gently coaxed it:

"Honey, it's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that having you around makes it too easy for us to be spotted..."

【"Buzz~!"】

Before he could finish speaking, a deep black light suddenly shone, enveloping Zhou Xiaohei entirely.

You felt a lightness in your arms, and then a fluffy tail emerged from the ball of light and wrapped around your arm.

As the light faded, you looked down and saw that Little Black's true form had transformed into a black fox.

【"Meow~ Master, is this okay?"】

You stared at the meowing fox in your arms, paused for a moment, then grabbed its ear in an annoyed tug.

"If you have such ability, why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Master, you didn't even ask me..."

Seeing Xiao Hei's pitiful state, you sighed helplessly and turned to look at Ye Jinghong, who was unconscious beside you.

"Have your henchmen keep an eye on her."

[After a pause, as if remembering something, you added:]

"Don't make things difficult for her. Just let her stay here and cultivate in peace. Once the secret realm closes, you don't need to worry about her anymore."

[The seal within Ye Jinghong's body was set up by you. It wasn't a particularly sophisticated method; it was simply a barrier created with overwhelming spiritual power.]

[Without sufficient strength, one cannot break through, and can only maintain control for about seven days.]

[By then, the secret realm will have long been closed; she'll have to wait a hundred years to emerge.]

[It was the Soul Lamp that saved her life; otherwise, given your personality, you would never have left such a lingering problem...]

【...】

Surprisingly, the first to emerge from the secret realm was Lin Bufan, who was currently only at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

He was holding a small bronze alchemy furnace in his arms, his entire face was blackened by soot, and even his once flowing long hair was now completely curled up, as if burned by something.

His disheveled appearance, coupled with his careful handling of the alchemy furnace, made him look rather comical.

[Pfft~]

You couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Bufan looked in the direction of the voice. The woman was already beautiful, but her smile made her even more charming and captivating, causing him to be momentarily stunned.

He suddenly snapped out of his daze, shook his head vigorously, and strode over to you, respectfully handing you the bronze alchemy furnace, his tone tinged with trepidation:

[“Senior, I didn’t receive the inheritance; I only got this.”]

You nodded slightly and drew the bronze alchemy furnace into your hand.

A wisp of divine sense probed into the furnace. Your eyes flickered almost imperceptibly as you calmly absorbed it into your system space.

Under Lin Bufan's increasingly tense gaze, you raised your hand and took out most of the Soul Burial Grass you had obtained from the secret realm, suspending it in front of him.

Is that enough?

[The simulated version of you is probably going to betray the sect again; this thing is pretty useless now.]

Seeing this, Lin Bufan's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, and he let out a long breath.

If this senior were to renege on his promise now, he would likely be unable to cope. Fortunately, the other party is a man of his word.

"That's enough! Thank you, senior."

He bowed deeply to you again, then raised his head and said solemnly:

"I will keep silent about what you did in the secret realm today, and I will certainly not refuse any request you may make in the future!"

You calmly wave your hand, signaling him to go back to what he was doing.

Lin Bufan smiled sullenly, then quickly put away the Soul-Burial Grass and turned to leave.

【"Hehe~"】

You finally laughed as you watched the other person's figure gradually disappear from sight.

Wow, this is good stuff!

[A treasure that can increase the success rate of pills below the sixth rank by 30%—from now on, let's see who dares to say you're wasting medicinal herbs when refining pills.]

[What are you looking at? I'm talking to you, Liu Guanzhi!]

"Fellow Daoist Jinghong, what makes you so happy?"

The voice from behind made your smile freeze; you forgot that the barrier could block divine sense...

You take a deep breath, slowly turn around, and in that brief moment, your previously somewhat lewd smile transforms into an exceptionally bright one.

"It seems that Young Master Tantai has achieved his goal on this trip?"

Seeing the joy on Tantai Jin's face, you gracefully walked to him, your eyes filled with just the right amount of admiration and a hint of reverence.

【"cough!"】

Faced with such gazes, Tantai Jin would usually have ignored them with disdain.

But at this moment, he felt somewhat uncomfortable under their gaze. After coughing lightly, a sense of pleasure involuntarily welled up inside him.

"That's right."

Of course, exports continue to maintain a cool and aloof stance.

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to him.

"This contains the secrets passed down within the hidden realm, as well as my daily alchemy insights."

[Your heart skipped a beat. The insights of the Dan Ding Pavilion's prodigies—wasn't that the Dan Ding Pavilion's legacy? And given Tantai Jin's status, he must be a core inheritor of that legacy.]

You bit your red lips, feigning reluctance, and softly declined:

"Young Master Tantai...isn't this too valuable? If the sect finds out, you'll be punished, won't you? Jinghong can't accept this..."

"Heh~ Who dares to cause me trouble, and besides..."

As he spoke, your sharp eyes caught a slight blush creeping up his ears, and then, as if to cover it up, he shoved the jade slip into your hand.

"Furthermore, I should make amends for my previous rudeness."

[Tsk~]

You silently marvel at how extreme the personalities of cultivators are.

A person who is innocent can be incredibly innocent; while a person who becomes treacherous can be utterly insidious.

[That's right, I'm talking about you again, Liu Guanzhi!]

You stared blankly at the jade slip in your hand, and without realizing it, a tear welled up in the corner of your eye.

[Then you quickly stepped forward, and before Tantai Jin could react, you tiptoed and gently kissed him on the cheek.]

[After the brief encounter, you immediately blushed and ran away from the main hall, the gentle breeze carrying the woman's shy voice echoing in your ears:]

"Brother Tantai~ I...I'll go find my fellow disciples first."

Tantai Jin touched his cheek, stood there stunned for a long time, and then an uncontrollable smile slowly spread from the corner of his lips.
