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

Just then, a pair of arms suddenly reached out from behind and lifted you up from the throne without a word.

"Aww... my husband~"

[And so... your domineering air of commanding the world vanished completely, instantly transforming you into a "whiny little devil," obediently leaning against the person behind you.]

Sigh... it's all tears when I think about it.

[Your cultivation has indeed progressed very quickly during this period. It's because that kid Liu Guanzhi has somehow developed some strange Gu worms, making him incredibly powerful.]

But you have to admit, in this simulation, you were completely outmatched.

[This isn't your fault; that kid gave you way too much pink mist. You had no choice.]

But fortunes change, so don't underestimate the fairy's poverty!

"What's wrong? Madam seems quite unconvinced?"

Liu Guanzhi turned you around in his arms, and the two sat facing each other.

"Waaaaah... I never said anything like that~"

[You may be crying on the surface, but inside you're seething with rage: Just you wait, I'll get my revenge sooner or later.]

You silently made a grudge in your heart.

Liu Guanzhi took in all your little actions, but wisely refrained from teasing you further. After all, if he really angered this little wildcat in his arms, he would be the one to appease her in the end.

[Hmm...the kind of person who's hard to appease.]

"The Phoenix Cry in the Purple Heaven Grand Competition is about to begin. Where do you plan to enter?"

Upon hearing this, you raised your hand and waved it, instantly unfurling a detailed topographical map of Xuanhuang Prefecture in mid-air.

Your gaze swept across the intricate landscape of mountains and cities, finally settling on a familiar name.

【Jade Annihilation City.】

"Yes, it's the city where you only got married once, not too far from the Hehuan Sect."

Of course, this is not the most important reason.

If Lin Bufan's timeline hadn't changed, he would probably have gone to that city to participate in the competition, and then see if he could trick... into trading two more Thousand-Mile Escape Talismans.

[This kind of talisman might be useless to ordinary Golden Core cultivators, but with the "Myriad Forms" attribute in your possession, if you combine it with the Escape Talisman, you have a very high chance of escaping unscathed even when facing a Nascent Soul level monster.]

Therefore, for you, this Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman is, in a sense, tantamount to having an extra life.

"Jade Annihilation City?"

Liu Guanzhi's gaze fell on the map, and he thoughtfully stroked his chin.

【"My husband~"

You snuggled closer to him, tilted your head back, and started to act cute.

"You promised someone something..."

【"......"

[Liu Guanzhi remained silent for a long while, looking into your watery eyes, and finally sighed helplessly and nodded.]

"Whatever you say."

"I love you so much!"

You initiated the kiss, and then... well, things naturally progressed to that point.

[Exactly one month later.]

You stepped out of the palace, your lower back aching. Sensing the gaze from within, you swiftly transformed into a streak of light, fleeing this place of trouble without looking back.

A moment later, a woman who looked exactly like you when you were disguised as Ye Jinghong slowly walked out of the main hall...

【...】

A few days later, a petite girl quietly appeared on the streets of Jade Annihilation City.

The girl had a full, round face, with a touch of baby fat still clinging to her cheeks. Her almond-shaped eyes were round and clear, and she had an overall soft and gentle appearance that made her seem easy to bully.

[This is you in your transformed state, which is also the original form of Xiao Hei.]

Speaking of Little Black, it slept for a really long time; it shows no signs of waking up yet.

Fortunately, its bodily functions are all normal, and its breathing is gradually returning.

[This Hakimi is really lame. Is he going to have a burst of energy and then sleep for a hundred years?]

Just as you were secretly plotting, a magnificent and imposing mansion came into view. Above the vermilion plaque, three large, gilded characters were inscribed in a flowing, elegant style: "Jade Gate."

Upon seeing someone approach, two disciples dressed in Jade Maiden Sect attire immediately stepped forward, blocking your path and scrutinizing you warily from head to toe.

"Who goes there?"

With a calm and unhurried expression, you raised your wrist, and a token flew out from your sleeve, hovering in front of you.

"Zhou Xiaonuan, a disciple of the Tianxuan Sword Sect, has come to participate in the Phoenix Cry in the Purple Heaven Grand Competition."

After the two disciples clearly saw the token, they exchanged a glance. Then, one of them slightly turned to the side and made a "please" gesture.

"So you're a fellow Daoist from the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect. My apologies for my rudeness. Please follow me."

You silently followed behind the disciple, strolling leisurely through the familiar corridor, feeling as if you were revisiting a place you had never been before.

[Thinking back to the extravagant life I led as a housewife, I can only sigh inwardly:]

Things have changed, and people are no longer the same!

A moment later, the two of you arrived at the edge of a wide plaza. As soon as you stood still, you heard a gasp of surprise come from the arena.

["Lin Bufan of the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect wins!"]

【"Oh?"】

A slight smile played on your lips, a hint of amusement in your eyes. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

You look up and your eyes meet those of the young man who has just finished a fight on the arena.

"It seems you've arrived just in time, fellow Daoist. The first round has already begun."

Seeing this, the disciple guiding you bowed respectfully.

"I'm sure you're all familiar with the rules of the competition, so I won't disturb your preparations any longer."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

You shifted your gaze to the Jade Maiden Sect disciple beside you, a sweet smile spreading across your face.

The disciple's body trembled; he felt a surge of energy, even in his steps.

"Huh? Master, why does that female cultivator look so familiar?"

Lin Bufan, who had just stepped down from the arena, sat in the waiting area, scratching his head in confusion.

"You look familiar, that's a disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect, the one who participated in the mission to exterminate the Blood Rats with you."

An aged voice echoed in his mind, though it sounded somewhat weak.

Speaking of the Blood Rat, Lin Bufan's mind involuntarily conjured up the image of that stunningly beautiful figure leaning against the cold moonlight. The memory remained vivid, as if it were yesterday.

"It's been a long time since we've heard from Senior Sister Lin..."

"You brat... put away those thoughts and focus on your cultivation. If fate allows, we will surely meet again at the summit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan did not refute it; he simply clenched his fists silently, his resolve to become stronger growing even stronger.

"Next, which young friend would like to come up on stage?"

[As soon as the elder referee finished speaking, without the slightest hesitation, you lightly touched the ground with your toes and landed on the arena like a gentle breeze.]

"This woman is no ordinary person!"

"Judging from their attire, they should also be disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect."

"Is the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect really that powerful now?"

There was much discussion on the sidelines, but you had no interest in playing house with these insignificant cultivators.

"I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I just want to say to everyone here..."

So you look around, and the pleasant voice utters an incredibly cold statement.

"It's all garbage!"

...
