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

As you broke through the layers of clouds and looked down, your breath caught in your throat.

Although you have already witnessed the vastness of the Heavenly Phoenix Imperial Capital, you are still awestruck by the scene before you.

Between heaven and earth, stretches a colossal city whose end cannot be seen in the distance.

The city wall, constructed of some kind of purple-gold divine stone, stretches to the horizon.

On the wall, countless array patterns intertwined and flowed, their purple light flickering and changing like breath.

Each flash caused a surge of dense spiritual energy in the surrounding area, forming ripples that slowly spread outwards like tides, creating an extremely beautiful scene.

But the imperial capital at the very center is the truly dazzling presence.

The entire complex is centered around a main hall that soars into the clouds, with other halls spreading out in all directions like a myriad of Buddhas paying homage.

[A purple-gold aura weaved through it, enveloping the entire capital in a dreamlike, divine light.]

The palace gates open to the heavens, and officials from all nations bow before the emperor.

This line of poetry naturally comes to mind.

Perhaps this is the biggest difference between imperial dynasties and sects; their auras and scales are different, and the paths they take to immortality are naturally different as well.

The woman in purple robes did not linger, but ignored the group of guards and descended directly towards a palace below.

You followed behind and glanced at it discreetly.

The guards' armor gleamed with spiritual light, their auras profound; even the weakest among them were at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and there were even Golden Core cultivators patrolling the city walls from time to time.

Good grief!

Suddenly you realize your master is utterly incompetent; in this imperial city, he's practically nothing more than a gatekeeper.

You think you should be more obedient.

Soon, the two of you landed before the palace gates. The woman in purple robes vanished before your eyes in a flash.

【Huh? Aren't you going to wait with me?】

[But considering the other party is a Nascent Soul cultivator, it seems quite reasonable.]

The strong have privileges everywhere.

Just as you were lost in thought, the palace doors slowly opened, and a woman dressed in palace attire walked out gracefully.

"Zhou Xiaonuan?"

Her tone was flat, neither disrespectful nor contemptuous.

"It is indeed this junior."

You should honestly bow and reply.

The woman before you made no attempt to conceal her aura; the overwhelming pressure she exuded made it easy to discern her cultivation level.

[A Nascent Soul cultivator!]

A bitter feeling welled up inside you; there were just too many experts...

However, for the sake of resources, they had no choice but to come into contact with these high-level cultivators.

Reaching the Nascent Soul realm seems a long way off; when will this period of extreme caution finally end?

Her former pride in breaking through to the Golden Core stage was once again crushed by reality. After arriving in this imperial city, the nimble-tongued Qingyu was once again reduced to her original form.

My life is so hard!

"Come with me."

The woman's gaze lingered on you for a moment, then she slowly nodded and turned to walk into the hall.

You dared not delay and quickly followed.

Upon entering the main hall, you are surprised to find that the scene before you is not as magnificent as you had imagined.

The hall was empty, except for a row of bronze crane lampstands on each side, each crane holding a fist-sized pearl in its beak, emitting a soft, warm light.

Passing through the front hall and around a sandalwood screen, one sees a girl in a red dress, listlessly slumped over a table.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Yo! We meet again."

"Waaaaah~ Big sister, I miss you so much~!"

Ignoring the somewhat solemn atmosphere in the hall, you pounced on him on the spot.

The woman standing nearby paled and tried to intervene, but was stopped by a single glance from the girl in red.

So you buried your face in her arms and cried your heart out.

The girl looked down at your fluffy head, momentarily confused as to when you two had become so close.

But her expression shifted from initial confusion and helplessness to a barely perceptible hint of...pleasure.

Hmm...it seems like being this kind of "big sister" is actually quite interesting.

For a moment, only your weeping could be heard in the main hall.

[After you've finally cried enough, you lift your tear-filled face and look up at her with adoration.]

"Big sister, I didn't expect you to have your own house in this palace."

[Pfft~]

The girl in red couldn't help but laugh out loud, but immediately put on a serious expression.

"I am Princess Ji Yue Li of the Zi Xiao Dynasty."

"The Princess Boss!"

[Not only were you not afraid, but your round eyes grew even brighter. That intense gaze made Ji Yue Li feel a little embarrassed.]

So she reached out with both hands, pinched your cheeks, and gently tugged them.

"Your disguise skills are truly superb. You didn't fool me this time, did you?"

"No kerosene!"

[Your cheeks were being pinched, your lips were pouting, and you were mumbling your explanation.]

"If you dare to deceive me again, I'll banish you to the mines."

Upon hearing about mining, you almost blurted out "It's a deal!"

【"Big Sister~"】

You buried your face in her chest again and nuzzled against her.

Although it's a bit embarrassing, if you can latch onto a powerful figure of this caliber, you can temporarily abandon your dignity as a righteous immortal.

Ji Yueli froze.

The maids on both sides of the hall lowered their heads in unison, their shoulders trembling slightly, whether they were trying to suppress laughter or were too frightened to look.

Hmm...it smells pretty good.

[You were enjoying yourself when you felt a sudden, powerful force on your neck, and then Ji Yue Li, blushing, pulled you aside.]

"Sit still."

Seeing that you were about to make another move, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Sensing the murderous intent, you gave an awkward smile and quickly and obediently sat cross-legged on the prayer mat.

Where's the little black cat?

Ji Yueli looked you up and down, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Little Blackie... Waaah~"

Seeing that you were about to lash out again, she quickly raised her hand to interrupt the spellcasting, her tone becoming more serious.

"You must have some skill to reach the top of the Prodigy Ranking. In that case, how about we change our deal?"

"Big Sister, what is it?"

Upon hearing there were benefits, you immediately stopped putting on an act.

[After all, your acting is indeed exaggerated; everyone can tell you're acting. But this kind of blatant attack is sometimes the hardest to defend against.]

[By the way, those who aren't good-looking should not try this.]

"Help this princess win first place in this competition, and I'll give you a treasure."

Seeing that you immediately changed your attitude, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Ji Yue Li's eyes.

She knows when to advance and retreat, is pragmatic, and while her personality is a bit unconventional, she's not unbearable.

"What treasure?"

You looked at her with expectant eyes.

Ji Yueli slightly raised her chin, her phoenix eyes reflecting your round face.

"A spiritual embryo."
