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

"Youyi, go!"

The gray-haired youth was currently being suppressed by two third-tier formations, one of which was even a mid-grade third-tier formation. With his mere early-stage Golden Core cultivation, he had no chance of escape from such an inescapable net.

If even this trapped turtle, Youyi, can't be dealt with, then we might as well just send her back to the drawing board and start over.

Upon hearing your command, You Lian's dark eyes instantly turned blood red, unleashing a chilling killing intent.

"Yes, Master."

[As her ethereal, chilling voice faded, her figure transformed into a dark red afterimage, plunging into the great formation without hesitation.]

"A spirit body, where did you find this ghost servant?"

Liu Guanzhi sat cross-legged again, manipulating the power of the grand formation to avoid Youyi and precisely locking onto the gray-haired youth.

"Is it that impressive?"

[You know very little about the Yin Spirit Body; even Youyi herself doesn't understand the state of her own constitution.]

"Very powerful. Besides being able to devour living souls without limit to forcibly elevate their cultivation, at the peak of their power, they possess a talent called 'Illusion-Reality Conversion,' which is nearly invincible."

[Liu Guanzhi's voice carried a rare hint of solemnity.]

"It truly allows one to travel between illusion and reality."

[Shocking! My Ghost Servant is also using cheat codes?!]

[Countless sensational headlines flashed through your mind, and a slow smile crept onto your face.]

"However, the probability of this physique awakening a talent is extremely small. The last Yin Spirit physique to awaken such a talent dates back to ancient classics."

Hearing this, you rolled your eyes at him, annoyed. That guy always loves to dampen your spirits when you're feeling smug.

[Just as you were talking, the two figures within the formation had already engaged in a fierce battle.]

The two streaks of light clashed and intersected within the formation, but the gray-haired youth was clearly at a disadvantage, with several deep, bone-revealing bloodstains gradually appearing on his body.

【"etc!"】

After another exchange, the young man quickly created distance and hurriedly spoke towards the outside of the formation.

"What do you two want? Just say the word. We have no past grievances or present enemies, so why must we be so ruthless?"

You and Liu Guanzhi exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.

[After you stood up, your toes lightly touched the ground, and your figure slowly dissipated like ripples on water. The next second, you silently appeared outside the golden cage in mid-air.]

Upon witnessing this, the gray-haired youth's pupils constricted sharply. His divine sense couldn't detect the slightest trace, which meant the opponent's divine sense was far superior to his own.

"We want the Blood Spirit Ginseng from your body."

You crossed your arms and looked down at him.

The gray-haired youth's face alternated between pale and flushed, his eyes filled with struggle.

Looking at the array surrounding him and the two powerful Golden Core Realm experts, he gritted his teeth and forced out a voice:

"I can give it to you! But how can you guarantee that you won't go back on your word after I hand over the treasure?"

"I swear by the heavens that I will never harm you."

You narrowed your eyes slightly.

"Then let me exit the formation first."

"Youyi killed him."

You gave a dismissive smile and said coldly.

"No, no, no! I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

The gray-haired youth's expression froze. He hurriedly took out a blood-red ginseng, from which a layer of pale red mist swirled, its blood energy extremely concentrated.

"You swear first."

【"good!"】

Without hesitation, you raised your right hand and spoke loudly:

"I, Shen Lianhuan, hereby swear that if I obtain all the Blood Spirit Ginseng, I will let this person leave safely. If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth and die a horrible death!"

[“Boom!”]

[The words had barely left his mouth when a deep rumble of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky.]

Hearing the thunder, the gray-haired youth's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief. He gritted his teeth, his face contorted with pain, and sent the Blood Spirit Ginseng out of the formation.

【"besides."】

With a slight twitch of your fingertips, you grasped the Blood Spirit Ginseng in your hand, then reached out to him again.

【"......"

The gray-haired youth remained silent for a while, then took out another Blood Spirit Ginseng from his storage bag and handed it out.

"How did you know?"

You rolled your eyes, too lazy to bother with him.

[Nonsense! What kind of good person wouldn't thoroughly investigate their target before robbing them? What's the difference between blindly charging in and courting death?]

You toyed with the two Blood Spirit Ginsengs, casually waved your hand, and said in a low voice:

"Youyi, kill him."

"You broke your promise!"

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said in a stern voice:

"Aren't you afraid of the backlash from your oath to Heaven?"

"Oh...you mean that?"

You smiled sweetly, winked at him with your eyes crinkling, and then spoke again:

"I, Shen Lianhuan, hereby swear."

[“Boom!”]

Upon seeing the lightning dancing at your fingertips, the gray-haired youth was first stunned, then his face twisted in pain as he belatedly realized he had been tricked.

"You actually know lightning magic? Your name isn't Shen Lianhuan at all!"

【"clever!"】

[You waved your hand, flashed to Liu Guanzhi's side, raised the Blood Spirit Ginseng in your hand, and gave a haughty snort:]

"Isn't this girl amazing?"

【"sharp."】

Seeing your smug look, Liu Guanzhi, surprisingly, didn't contradict you this time.

[In fact, the reason you went to such lengths to set up this elaborate trap, even going so far as to play along with him in this "keeping your promise" act, was to get him to hand over the Blood Spirit Ginseng voluntarily.]

Otherwise, with your current strength, killing a cultivator of the same level wouldn't be too difficult at all.

The fundamental reason is that the Blood Spirit Ginseng is extremely fragile; it can be destroyed with the slightest carelessness, which would be a great loss.

Seeing a hint of a smile appear in his eyes, you abruptly closed the distance between you, and the atmosphere became quite ambiguous as your eyes met.

"Old Liu, do you like me?"

The sudden question caused Liu Guanzhi's expression to stiffen, but he quickly regained his composure.

He silently took the Blood Spirit Ginseng from your hand, then turned to look at the sea.

"Do you like it or not?"

You boldly step forward, reach out, and hook your arm around his neck, refusing to let go.

Sensing the familiar presence, the familiar face, and the familiar attitude beside him, Liu Guanzhi's heart stirred.

【"I..."】

【"ah!!!"】

The boy was about to speak when he was interrupted by a scream from behind him.

[Immediately, Youyi, carrying a mangled, bloodied body, approached you with a smug look on her face.]

"Master, I've finished..."

But when I met your deep gaze, it all came to an abrupt halt.

Watching the black-haired boy dodge again, you felt an urge to hang this little ghost girl up and beat her!

[Damn it! She clearly saw pink mist rising up just now...]
