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

When the two of you appeared in the main hall, almost everyone's eyes turned to you.

You desperately wanted to cultivate immortality in another world, but looking at Gu Wudao's nonchalant and arrogant demeanor, you suddenly felt relieved.

Anyway, you're not the only one who's embarrassed.

And as long as you don't feel awkward, then it's others who feel awkward.

Then, everyone watched as the black-clad youth, carrying a girl who feigned composure, strode through the hall, his eyes fixed straight ahead, seemingly oblivious to everyone around him.

Only after the two of you were seated did the old woman in the hall step forward, a faint smile appearing on her aged face:

"Young Sect Master, have we brought the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Frost Lotus?"

Your gaze swept over the three people below, and you noticed that besides the old woman from before, Jiang Qingwan had also arrived.

As for the other person...

Your eyes narrowed slightly; what a small world!

[It is Yue Fei, the cultivator from Tingxue Cliff whom you encountered during a mission at the Hehuan Sect.]

Judging from the fact that the Moon Goddess was still alive more than two hundred years later in the last simulation, it seems unlikely that she will be able to "resurrect" in the short term.

After all, it remains to be seen who will ultimately prevail between him and Tantai Yanya.

Looking at it this way, it seems that all the truly powerful figures in the cultivation world are actually unassuming and cunning old foxes.

[Aren't the siblings of the Tantai family just like that?]

[The elder brother, Tantai Jin, is renowned, but he has actually been removed from the game. As for the younger sister, Tantai Yan Ya, you still can't understand her schemes.]

[And then there's Nangong Jie, who's been talked about like a god in Xuanhuang Prefecture—he's utterly hopeless.]

"Do you know him?"

[Suddenly, Gu Wudao's voice reached your ears. You snapped out of your daze, pouted, and leaned closer with a pitiful expression.]

[Exaggerated and fabricated.]

[After a long, tearful account, the gist of it all is that you were bullied by Consort Yue.]

Do you still clearly remember the grudge from when they lured you into the secret realm, trying to forcibly possess your body?

Gu Wudao's expression remained unchanged, but when he looked down at the unsuspecting young boy and girl below, his eyes darkened slightly.

You know, the eye drops were successfully applied.

Old Gu is incredibly domineering. He can bully you all he wants, but if anyone else dares to lay a hand on him, they'd better think twice before taking action.

【"not enough!"】

【really.】

The next moment, Gu Wudao leaned forward slightly, and the powerful aura of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator slowly rose up.

Of the three people in the center of the hall, only the old woman remained composed; the other two offered no resistance whatsoever.

[Bang! Bang!]

The sound of two knees hitting the ground was exceptionally clear in the empty hall.

But the old woman just stood by and watched, making no attempt to help.

In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, there is no reason to speak; the weak don't even have the right to speak.

What kind of Nascent Soul cultivator could steal a Foundation Establishment Pill from a Qi Refining stage cultivator?

[Sorry, but here, a Nascent Soul cultivator takes a Qi Refining cultivator's Foundation Establishment Pill in front of everyone, and the cultivator has to kneel down and thank them for sparing his life.]

"Young Sect Master, is there anything else you wish to request?"

The old woman remained respectful, seemingly oblivious to the couple's plight.

The sect leader's intention in having her bring Jiang Qingwan along is clear: this woman can be abandoned in a critical moment.

As for Consort Yue...

He was simply unlucky; he happened to encounter the old woman not long ago when he set foot in Zhongzhou.

After some conversation, the old woman learned that he was a cultivator from Listening Snow Cliff, so she decided to take him along, planning to bring him back to Listening Snow Divine Pavilion after leaving the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

"You challenged the daughter of the Supreme Dao Sect's leader back then, so a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Soul Frost Lotus as compensation is certainly enough."

Gu Wudao straightened up and pulled the woman sitting obediently beside him into his arms.

"But now she's the young mistress of my Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Do you think this compensation is appropriate?"

You nodded frantically to yourself, like a chick pecking at rice.

[Yes! Is it appropriate?]

Upon hearing this, the old woman looked troubled, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

[It's good that they didn't take this old woman's life.]

"What's wrong? Can't you produce it?"

Gu Wudao sneered, seemingly about to explode at any moment.

"Yes, yes."

A visible pang of heartache appeared on the old woman's face, and she quickly took out another medicinal herb that shimmered with a golden luster.

"This is the Golden Marrow Longevity Fruit, a genuine eight-thousand-year-old spiritual fruit, which I prepared..."

【"Whoosh!"】

Before she could finish speaking, you had already disappeared into Gu Wudao's arms.

The next instant, you were standing before the old woman, your gaze fixed intently on the spiritual fruit, your eyes gleaming with a burning light.

The fruit is golden and lustrous, with a fine, flowing pattern on its surface; you can even smell a fresh, vibrant fragrance.

It tastes like longevity essence!

Eight thousand years isn't enough, but you can find ways to accelerate its growth. Even if that doesn't work, you can wait for it to grow to ten thousand years!

【"like?"】

Gu Wudao looked at you with great interest.

This is the first time he's seen you so eager for something; even if you wanted something before, you wouldn't have been so direct.

"Husband~ Is it alright?"

You turned around and gazed longingly at the boy in the main seat.

【"Um."】

After a moment of silence, Gu Wudao slowly nodded, then raised his hand and pointed.

"That person must stay as well."

A hint of joy flashed in the old woman's eyes, then she glanced in the direction Gu Wudao was pointing, before casually looking away.

【"Can."】

A flicker of surprise crossed Yuefei's eyes.

He simply couldn't understand what he had done to offend the young sect leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Before today, he had never even met the other party.

But he knew he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his doom.

"Senior, do you recognize this?"

[The Moon Consort turned her gaze to the old woman, and a pure golden token floated out in front of her, clearly engraved with the words "Moon Goddess".]

The old woman first glanced at him impatiently, then her pupils suddenly contracted.

Her gaze instinctively shifted to the young man in the main seat, and seeing his unquestionable attitude, her heart skipped a beat.

[It’s over. 】

She naturally knew about that golden token, or rather, every member of the Listening Snow Pavilion's upper echelons was aware of it.

That is the token of the strongest prodigy of the Divine Pavilion, and it is closely related to that prodigy's unique secret technique. If this person perishes here today, the prodigy who carries the future of the Divine Pavilion will likely suffer another severe blow.

"Young Sect Master, could we change our terms?"

The old woman, steeling herself, cupped her hands and spoke.

【"no!"】

[A hint of impatience flashed in Gu Wudao's eyes. Just as he was about to order the arrest of all three, you suddenly spoke.]

"My husband, perhaps there is a more suitable method."

【"oh?"】

Gu Wudao paused slightly in his movements.

You chuckled softly, then slowly approached Consort Yue, looking down at this captivating beauty.

[Under his increasingly terrified gaze, he spoke slowly and deliberately:]

"All you need to do is hand over the ancient secret technique, the 'Three Transformations of Taiyin.'"
