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

"Uncle-Master Lin...?"

Lin Bufan stared blankly at the figure in mid-air, muttering in disbelief.

[As if you heard his voice, you lowered your eyes, a hint of wariness in them.]

"It's me, Lin Bufan."

Seeing that you seemed to have forgotten about him again, Lin Bufan quickly and sadly introduced himself again.

"You saved me in the Beast Mountain Range last time."

Upon hearing this, your eyes flickered slightly, and your expression softened somewhat.

The next moment, your face turned pale at a visible speed.

【"puff!"】

A mouthful of blood gushed out without warning.

[You swayed, your spiritual energy rapidly dissipated, and you plummeted straight down from mid-air.]

"Senior Sister!"

Lin Bufan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly flew forward to catch you.

He looked down at your pale, haggard face, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

【"teacher!"】

The old man with the ring suddenly appeared, looking at you with a solemn expression.

"It's like the state of being when some kind of curse takes effect..."

He paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"We'll have to wait until she wakes up to find out everything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan didn't ask any further questions. He simply nodded heavily, scooped you up in his arms, his spiritual energy surging, and rushed out of the courtyard without looking back.

Let's find a safe place first...

【...】

The first thing you notice when you regain consciousness is a familiar scent lingering around your nose.

You slowly opened your eyes.

The surroundings were dim, but it didn't affect you much; you could still see the scene clearly.

It seems that after you fell unconscious, Lin Bufan brought you to a cave somewhere.

You weren't faking it; you genuinely knocked yourself unconscious.

[Aura can be manipulated and imitated, but state of being is difficult to fake. With that cunning old man with the ring around, you must ensure your performance is flawless.]

Feeling the thick blankets beneath you, a barely perceptible smile played on your lips.

It seems the allure of the "white moonlight" is still top-tier.

A very light footstep came from the cave entrance.

Your gaze flickered slightly, but you didn't make any unnecessary movements. You simply shrank back towards the corner of the stone bed as if by instinct, your eyes instantly becoming extremely wary.

Lin Bufan strode up to you, carrying an unknown demonic beast in his hand. He clearly hadn't expected you to be awake; his steps abruptly halted, and the slight smile on his lips froze on his face.

[Xiao Fanzi, you seem to be in a good mood?]

Their eyes met.

Your gaze was calm, but the wariness in your eyes hadn't dissipated. Just as you were about to circulate your spiritual energy, you were startled by a sharp shout.

【"stop!"】

[You paused, and Lin Bufan, not caring much at this moment, casually tossed the demonic beast to the ground and strode forward to the stone bed.]

The man's scent wafted towards you, causing your eyelashes to flutter and your eyes to close instinctively.

Her pitiful appearance made Lin Bufan's outstretched hand freeze in mid-air. He took a deep breath and softened his voice.

"Senior sister, I'm also a disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect. I wouldn't harm you."

Upon hearing this, you opened your eyes. Although you seemed to be trying your best to remain calm, the hint of panic in your eyes betrayed your vulnerability.

"Your meridians have been severely damaged, and you are currently unable to circulate spiritual energy."

Why did you save me?

After a long silence, you finally spoke in a low voice.

"Because my senior sister saved me too!"

Looking at the young man's genuinely bright smile, you couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

No wonder those female knights-errant and fairies, after being rescued, like to offer themselves in gratitude; such an atmosphere can easily influence their state of mind.

But... my heart is as hard as iron, unbreakable!

You stared blankly at the young man before you, a barely perceptible blush creeping onto your pretty face. You immediately turned your head away, unable to meet his burning gaze any longer.

"Senior sister, your health is really bad, please lie down and rest."

Without a word, Lin Bufan reached out and placed his hand on your shoulder, his touch light but firm, pressing you firmly back onto the stone bed.

You kept your head down the whole time, neither looking at him nor showing any resistance.

Lin Bufan lowered his gaze to your slightly reddened earlobes, a smile curving his lips once more. His teacher was right; at times like these, one must be assertive.

"Thank you... thank you, junior brother."

Look, my senior sister even thanked me!

Lin Bufan could hardly contain his inner smugness, but he maintained a composed demeanor on the surface.

"Senior sister, you're too kind. This is what I should do."

His tone was upright, and his expression solemn, as if he were truly acting out of camaraderie among fellow disciples.

"Tsk~ Kid, these are all things your senior sister has already mastered. But since you want to challenge yourself with acting skills, your senior sister doesn't mind personally giving you some pointers."

Just as he was about to get up to prepare the ingredients, he felt a slender hand gently tugging at his sleeve.

"No...don't go..."

【Hiss~】

Seeing his usually aloof senior sister reveal such a girlish side, Lin Bufan felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and pink mist indiscriminately billowed out.

[...to control.]

You didn't expect it to be this simple.

[As expected, it's not that there's anything wrong with your charm, it's just that Old Liu is too cunning...]

【...】

【"Crackling sound~"】

You sit on the stone couch, hugging your knees, watching the man bustling around the fire in the distance, a hint of curiosity flashing in your eyes.

"Hehe, senior sister will be done soon."

Lin Bufan would occasionally turn around, grin at you, but his hands never stopped moving.

[Barbecued meat...]

[You suddenly realize a serious question: Could this kid... also be a time traveler?]

"Odd changes, even remains the same?"

[Anyway, this is just a simulation, so feel free to try it out.]

【"Um?"】

Lin Bufan turned around and looked at you with a puzzled expression.

"Senior sister, what are you saying?"

[Your divine sense was locked onto every subtle expression of the young man, yet you found no flaw.]

"It's nothing."

You slowly shook your head.

Isn't that right?

[Barbecue also exists in this world; after all, you ate it once when you met Han Xuan, but it wasn't as fancy as Lin Bufan's, with a bunch of random seasonings.]

"Look, there's an airplane!"

【"......"

Lin Bufan stared blankly at your perplexing behavior; the cave fell into a deathly silence...
