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

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Senior Brother Ding, this magic artifact of yours is really useful."

Outside an exceptionally magnificent cave dwelling, a young girl dressed in a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) was happily playing with a small, exquisite white jade fan.

"I'm glad my junior sister likes it!"

The burly man scratched his head and revealed a simple, honest smile.

"Why is it that you only know how to say that?"

The girl pouted and gave her a reproachful look.

"Junior sister...I...I just want to see you happy."

The man stared blankly at the girl's pretty face, unable to speak coherently.

"Hmph~"

The girl gave a haughty snort, then stole a glance at her, a blush rising on her pretty face.

Hehe~

Take down.

The man was naturally an illusion created by Lin Qingyu.

Over the past year, she has used her relationship with Old Chili to carefully and gradually pry open the defenses of this simple-minded young palace master.

Of course, Lin Qingyu also made a great sacrifice. In the past year, she spent nearly 100,000 spirit crystals in order to win over this young lady!

Coupled with her readily available cheesy pickup lines, Du Xiaoman, a woman who hadn't seen much of the world, was no match for such an offensive.

The only thing that holds him back is that Ding Cheng's appearance is not particularly outstanding.

Fortunately, he didn't practice any strange or unusual techniques, and his appearance was fairly decent and clean-cut; otherwise, the difficulty of conquering him would probably have increased several times over.

After all, young girls in love are always cautious about the appearance of their crush. Whether he is handsome or not is another matter, but he absolutely cannot have any major flaws.

As for that certain "chosen one," she had already sent him away to carry out a mission, after all, Lin Qingyu had prepared a great gift for him this year.

Ok?

Suddenly, a warm sensation appeared in her palm. Lin Qingyu looked down and saw that the girl, who had inherited her aunt's fiery personality, was now smiling and gently placing her soft, boneless hand into her palm.

This... is utterly outrageous!

Lin Qingyu gave the girl a few rough squeezes without any hesitation, and then pulled her into his arms.

"Ah~"

Du Xiaoman gasped, struggled gently for a moment, then leaned softly against her chest and slowly closed her eyes.

?

When Lin Qingyu had a question, it wasn't that she had a problem, but that the girl in front of her had a problem!

After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and gently touched the girl's lips.

"Ugh~ Brother Ding, you're so annoying~!"

Du Xiaoman quickly straightened up, her face flushed, and ran away.

"So innocent~"

Lin Qingyu smiled crookedly, gently rubbing her fingertips, but there was no hint of a smile in her eyes.

It seems the plan can now begin...

......

Two and a half months later.

A flying boat burst forth from the vast mountain range, piercing through the clouds, and sped towards the outside of the Toad Poison Palace.

At the bow of the boat, a burly man with a thick beard stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently into the distance.

"Brother Ding, why do you think the sect leader sent us on this mission?"

A moment later, a hunched figure with white hair stepped out of the carriage, his words filled with doubt.

"I don't know."

The burly man slowly shook his head.

"The task of collecting spirit crystals is usually carried out by elders at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The fact that we were sent here this time suggests that someone is trying to sabotage us. We need to be careful."

As a power that controls most of the eastern region, Toad Poison Palace naturally has many smaller sects that pay tribute to it.

Spirit stones are usually collected by elders at the peak of the Golden Core stage, while spirit crystals are collected by elders at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"The first sect we've taken over is the Fire Rock Sect. It only has a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in charge, so there shouldn't be any problems."

The white-haired old man sighed softly.

He and the bearded giant were the elders who guarded the Azure Phoenix together. As a Nascent Soul cultivator nearing the end of his lifespan, the old man was unwilling to leave the sect and participate in such a dangerous matter.

The Toad Poison Palace may have a prestigious reputation, but the world is never short of desperate people who will choose to take the risk.

Most importantly, the combat power of rogue cultivators who can reach the Nascent Soul realm is incomparably strong, far surpassing that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators from sects.

"I hope so."

After the big man finished speaking, the speed of the flying boat increased again, and it disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, millions of miles away, at the Fire Rock Sect...

Deep within the sect leader's cave, the candlelight was dim.

A gentle-looking woman was holding a middle-aged man by the neck with one hand, pressing him firmly against the stone wall. With her other hand, she pried open his jaw and a bright red pill flew into his mouth.

"Cough cough cough~"

As the woman released her grip, the middle-aged man slid to the ground, coughing incessantly.

"Who are you? What did you feed me?"

A moment later, the man raised his head and stared intently at the familiar face before him, which was flawless, his eyes filled with horror and anger.

"And what have you done to my wife?!"

"It's nothing serious."

The woman walked gracefully to the stone table, sat down, and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe her hands.

"I wonder if the Sect Master has ever heard of the Crimson Flame Heart-Corroding Pill?"

"A fifth-tier poison!"

The man's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately probed his body with his divine sense, discovering that an incredibly terrifying, scorching aura was indeed swirling around his heart.

That aura was definitely not something a fourth-tier poison could produce.

Finished!

The light in the middle-aged man's eyes gradually faded, leaving only a deathly silence. His wife was dead; he didn't even have the right to seek revenge...

"Your wife isn't dead yet."

The woman's slender fingers gripped the teacup on the table, and under the man's suspicious gaze, she raised her hand and pointed to the stone wall to the side.

"Has the soul lamp gone out?"

In the groove of the stone wall, a dim soul lamp burned quietly, its flame emitting a chilling green light. Although it flickered constantly, it never went out.

The man's eyes lit up, and his attitude immediately became much more respectful.

"What can I do for you, senior? If you can spare my wife's life, I will gladly die for you!"

"People from the Toad Poison Palace will be here soon."

The woman's profile was hidden in the shadows cast by the candlelight; her facial features remained soft, yet carried an indescribable chill.

"I need to use the special ley lines of your Fire Rock Sect to set up an ambush against them."

"Toad Poison Palace!"

Upon hearing the name, the man's heart sank.

That would mean that the Fire Rock Sect would have nowhere to go in this eastern region.

The woman seemed to see through his thoughts and added casually:

"At least, you and your wife's lives can be saved."

Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed several times, but after a moment he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"good!"

The woman smiled and walked out of the cave.

"Pack your things and take me there."

After leaving the cave, the woman's inscrutable expression vanished instantly, leaving only deep exhaustion.

The planning over this period of time has been exhausting. Once we rescue that little blue phoenix, we must squeeze it dry!

The woman, Lin Qingyu, thought to herself...

...
