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

When you stood before Bai Shouzhuo again, you finally understood how ridiculous it had been to try and test a Foundation Establishment cultivator with your Qi Refining Body during the last simulation.

[Indeed, a second-stage swordsmanship master could indeed have the potential to injure a Foundation Establishment cultivator.]

Just like a child wielding a sharp dagger, who could certainly injure an adult, what if that adult were Spider-Man?

The strength, speed, and reaction time are on completely different levels; the gap is simply too large.

At this moment, your divine consciousness has undergone a complete transformation; your perception and thought processes are as if you have been reborn.

You feel like you were "mentally challenged" before, not because your IQ has increased significantly, but because your problem-solving speed has increased dramatically, like going from a bicycle to a car.

This is also the main reason why high-level cultivators can simultaneously employ multiple techniques or magical treasures during battles, and can handle more complex high-level formations, pills, or restrictions.

[The spiritual sense range of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator is about ten times that before their breakthrough, which is about a thousand meters. But you, having consumed multiple Spirit Nourishing Fruits, have reached a terrifying three thousand meters!]

[It even surpasses most cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.]

"Sister Qianqian!"

Just as you were reveling in the thrill of gaining immense power, a figure suddenly appeared from mid-air, lunging straight into your arms.

You smiled slightly and reached out to catch him.

[When good things happen, one's spirits soar. Upon emerging from seclusion, a soft, fragrant young woman throws herself into his arms—a small but significant perk.]

You find everyone agreeable now, even Bai Shouzhuo, your killer, doesn't seem as repulsive as before.

After all, this time you have plenty of time to cultivate, there's no need to waste your precious youth on a mere mortal enemy.

Just then, your gaze met Bai Shouzhu's, and you winked at him playfully.

The unspoken understanding between you two caused him to blush slightly. After a light cough, he nodded almost imperceptibly with lightning speed.

However, misfortune always seems to strike its weakest point, just as misfortune always seems to target those with a hard life.

Your life has indeed been very difficult.

[After seven days of intensive spiritual practice, you are meditating and regulating your breath in your room.]

Now that we've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it's time to make plans for our cultivation techniques.

[But you're undecided right now: should you prioritize figuring out the Hehuan cultivation technique, or first obtain the subsequent techniques of the Xuan Tian Sword Scripture?]

"It seems you haven't listened to a word I said."

A cold voice suddenly rang in your ears. You froze, quickly looking around, but couldn't see a single person.

At that moment, a streak of red light shot out from between your brows, and the familiar figure in the red dress hovered about ten feet in front of you, though her form was somewhat ethereal.

"Senior sister, you're here!"

You flashed a sweet smile, attempting to seduce him with your beauty.

"I drank it!"

She gave you a cold glance, her tone leaving no room for argument.

You gritted your teeth, and a Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman slipped into your palm, activating it instantly without hesitation.

Before disappearing, you seemed to see a cold smile curl at the corner of their mouth.

【"Phew~"

After a dizzying spin, you landed in an unfamiliar mountain hollow. Just as you breathed a sigh of relief, that devilish voice rang in your ears again.

"Keep running."

"Sister, I was wrong!"

Your greatest strength is your ability to see the times.

Knowing you couldn't escape her grasp, you didn't hesitate, took out the jade bottle, tilted your head back, and drank the scarlet liquid in one gulp.

"Very good, now head back."

A chill ran down your spine. This woman was definitely scheming against Bai Shouzhuo; otherwise, why would she go back to that godforsaken little border town?

But you have too little information.

What is that bottle of red liquid? Why would she scheme against the lord of a small, outlying town? What secret is Bai Shouzhuo hiding?

At this moment, you are like a butterfly trapped in a spider's web, unable to break free or escape, and can only passively await your fate.

【Sigh~】

You sighed inwardly, and the joy of your breakthrough instantly dissipated by more than half.

To truly achieve freedom and liberation, Foundation Establishment is far from sufficient!

【...】

[You did not fly, but walked slowly towards Bailu City. Feng Qianyue was still there, but didn't urge you on.]

After walking for a long time, you notice that the moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, yet it seems shrouded in a layer of blood.

No! It was truly covered in a layer of blood.

You feel a chill run down your spine, your hair stands on end, and your sense of foreboding grows stronger.

[Pfft~]

An arm has somehow pierced through your heart, clutching a still-beating, bright red heart in its palm.

You turn around stiffly, and there stands a man who is both familiar and unfamiliar.

[The person is familiar because their appearance is exactly the same as Bai Shouzhuo's; they are unfamiliar because their aura has undergone a complete transformation, and their strength is vastly different.]

At the very least, it's absolutely impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to remain completely undetected.

【"Sizzle!"】

The next instant, that arm, carrying your heart, was cleanly and decisively pulled out.

【Ahem!】

You staggered a few steps, leaned against a boulder, and slowly slid down to the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood that instantly stained your white clothes crimson.

Foundation Establishment cultivators possess extremely strong vitality; even with a shattered heart, they can endure for a period of time. But in this situation...

[I'm afraid he won't survive.]

Having made your judgment, you forcibly suppressed the overwhelming killing intent in your heart and simply stared intently at the person before you.

Even after being treated this way, there was no hatred in your eyes, only regret and reluctance.

"My husband..."

As soon as those two words were uttered, you could clearly see a slight tremor in Bai Shouzhuo's deep gaze.

【"Hehe~"】

A weak smile tugged at the corner of your bloodied lips; your pretty face appeared exceptionally pale and fragile from blood loss.

"My lord, Qianqian doesn't blame you. Qianqian just can't bear to leave you."

As you spoke, you reached out to grab the hem of their shirt, but due to exhaustion, you slowly fell to the ground.

After receiving no answer for a long time, you seemed to finally despair, slowly closed your eyes, and two lines of bright red tears slid down your cheeks...

【"Sigh~"】

A sigh sounded in your ear, and you struggled to open your eyes, meeting a pair of eyes that held a hint of familiarity.

"You're very unwilling to accept this."

His voice was calm, as if he were stating a fact, and he still held your still-beating heart in his hand.

"It's just... Qianqian wants to know why..."

Your voice is getting softer and softer.

Bai Shouzhuo remained silent for a moment, then softly uttered a sentence that stirred up a storm in your heart.

"My true name is Feng Qiange."
