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

Three months later.

In the dark, silent forest, the sound of rapid breathing was exceptionally clear.

【"Hmm..."】

Under the moonlight, you blushed and pushed the boy away, glaring at him with displeasure.

[That bastard, he hugged and kissed me the moment we met, did he change his zodiac sign to dog?]

[Liu Guanzhi was pushed back half a step by you, but instead of getting angry, he chuckled softly and took your wrist, which was pressed against his chest, and gently rubbed his fingertips against your palm.]

【! ! ! 】

You deepened the blush on your pretty face, but your heart was filled with doubt.

Where's that aloof, reborn tycoon? How come after three months, he's got all sorts of flirting skills?

"What...what are you doing?"

You lowered your head, as if you couldn't bear to look at him.

[Liu Guanzhi watched the blush creep up your neck, his laughter growing clearer. Before you could show any displeasure, he pulled you back into his arms.]

He tightened his arms around you, pulling you close, and kissed your unspoken, coquettish voice.

[Only after a long time, when you were panting heavily and leaned softly against the boy's chest, were you slowly released.]

"Let's get down to business."

You straightened your slightly disheveled clothes, slapped away the other person's large hand that was still trying to cause trouble, and gave him an annoyed glare.

"What have you discovered over those three months?"

[Through this period of investigation, you now know your current location: the Desolate Bone Mountain Range mentioned by the middle-aged cultivator before you entered the city.]

This mine was discovered by chance three years ago by disciples of a small sect. Unfortunately, they couldn't protect this opportunity, and after the news leaked, the Black Demon Sect came knocking and slaughtered them all, ultimately seizing the mine by force.

"We did find some very important information."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guanzhi's smile faded, and his gaze became much more profound.

"There must be some mysterious force involved in this."

"What power?"

You tilted your head back and blinked curiously.

"The Long Night Royal Court."

[Upon suddenly hearing this name, you felt a sense of familiarity, and after a moment, you realized, isn't this the evil organization that cultivates the Purple Spirit Azure Pattern Fruit?]

Seeing you deep in thought, Liu Guanzhi knew you didn't know much.

A hint of helpless indulgence flickered in his eyes. After all, you were just like this in your past life, letting him handle all the complicated matters while he only had to focus on "fighting! Having fun!"

"The Long Night Royal Court is rumored to be a force from beyond the heavens, and their purpose is unknown. However, based on the clues we have so far, this force acts without any scruples, resorting to any means to acquire resources."

[It matches my style of doing things quite well.]

The thought flashed through your mind subconsciously, but the next moment, you vehemently rejected it.

[How could I, the foremost celestial being of the righteous path, harbor such depraved thoughts?]

As righteous cultivators, we should examine ourselves three times a day.

Loyalty? Faithfulness? Dual cultivation?

"You mean, the elemental mineral veins here are the work of the Long Night Royal Court?"

[Having not disturbed your reverie, Liu Guanzhi, seeing that you had finally grasped the key point, reached out and ruffled the top of your head.]

"Indeed, there is an extremely powerful underground formation that is drawing water-attribute spiritual energy from the depths of this earth's veins and converging it into what was originally an ordinary spiritual vein. This is what forcibly created this elemental spirit mine in such a short time."

"The consequence will probably be the complete depletion and ruin of the spiritual veins here, right?"

Including this time, this is only your second encounter with the Long Night Royal Court, yet you already have a general understanding of their modus operandi.

[Adding to Liu Guanzhi's description just now, the outcome is quite easy to guess.]

"It's much more than that."

Liu Guanzhi nodded slightly, showing no indignation whatsoever.

"The depletion of spiritual energy is already a foregone conclusion. More importantly, this extreme method of plundering will completely disrupt the yin-yang cycle of this world."

He paused, his tone remaining calm:

"Soon this place will become a useless wasteland, where no living thing can survive."

"The Long Night Royal Court is too wicked!"

You angrily waved your little fist, your face full of righteous indignation.

However, in the brief pause between punches, the thought that flashed through your mind was:

Since this place is going to become a wasteland sooner or later, can't we just plunder all the remaining mineral veins without any qualms?

[What do you call this? This is called acting on behalf of Heaven! Recycling resources is just a side effect.]

【"......"

Liu Guanzhi glanced at you sideways, his scrutiny undisguised.

"Brother Guanzhi, why are you looking at me like that?"

You tugged at his sleeve, looking pitiful, and gently shook it, your voice soft and sweet.

【"Sigh~"】

The boy sighed helplessly.

The reason he was able to walk alongside you in your past life was because he understood your personality very well. You both shared the same cold-bloodedness and indifference at your core, yet possessed an almost obsessive loyalty and passion for what you believed in.

This is precisely why, over the long years of getting to know each other, that initial gratitude gradually fermented into a deeply ingrained affection.

Liu Guanzhi knew this was completely against his principles, but when it comes to matters of the heart, like the scene before him, he clearly knew you were acting, yet he willingly walked into the trap.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

【"Hehe~"】

You tiptoed and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"All the spirit ore that could be illegally mined has been mined; if we continue digging, we'll definitely be discovered."

"Want to take it all?"

Liu Guanzhi raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding your true intention.

【"Uh-huh!"】

You tugged at his sleeve pitifully and said:

"Other people's spiritual roots are too poor. The resources needed to purify them to the level of celestial spiritual roots are astronomical, not to mention... they want to be comparable to superior celestial spiritual roots~"

After listening, Liu Guanzhi's slender fingers gently ran through your hair, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"The strongest individuals in these two mining areas are only at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Attribute-based mineral veins are far less attractive to Nascent Soul cultivators, so the possibility of a Nascent Soul expert secretly lurking there is extremely low."

After a moment, his gaze darkened slightly, and he calmly analyzed the situation:

"Furthermore, although this place is located on the outskirts of the Black Demon Sect, it is in a remote location."

"As long as we destroy the teleportation array when we make our move, even a Golden Core cultivator would need at least three to five days to arrive. Even if a Nascent Soul stage expert were to intervene, it would take at least half an hour for them to arrive."

【"so?"】

You tilted your head back, your bright eyes gazing at him with anticipation.

Seeing your expression, Liu Guanzhi chuckled softly and nodded slightly.

"Take the goods and run. With our stealth skills, there's at least an 80% chance we can escape."

【“Kuji-nii~”】

【"Um?"】

Hearing your soft, gentle call, the boy lowered his head in confusion, his gaze meeting your shimmering, watery eyes.

His breath hitched.

[Your appearance was already exceptional, and the enhancement from your physique and that body-refining technique added to your aloof and otherworldly air. Yet, at this moment, when you looked up at him, your eyes revealed an unguarded admiration and dependence.]

The allure of this extreme contrast is something you probably haven't even realized yourself.

[Liu Guanzhi's eyes suddenly darkened. No longer able to restrain his desires, he scooped you up in his arms without a word, his figure transforming into a blur as he shot straight into the depths of the dense forest...]
