Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Ultimately, you chose to wait and see.

[Because the premise of giving something away for free is that the other party gives it first, only then can you retaliate.]

The teacup was placed on the table.

"I wonder what brings Fairy Pei to meet me today?"

Pei Qingyu picked up the teacup and held it to her brow.

"Qingyu substituted tea for wine."

"Respect good teachers for the survival of the common people."

"To the gentleman who speaks for those who read."

"The Imperial Envoy is here to patrol the heavens for all living beings."

After speaking, Pei Qingyu parted her cherry lips slightly and drank it all in one gulp.

[Reveals a carefree and easygoing attitude.]

Your eyes flickered.

Look how beautifully the fairy speaks.

"You flatter me, fairy."

"With great power comes great responsibility; one should simply fulfill one's duties in one's position."

Pei Qingyu was deeply moved.

[She lowered her head slightly: "Qingyu is ashamed of herself."]

[Then, Pei Qingyu continued to recount your deeds, expressing her sincere admiration.]

[As the discussion progressed...]

[I noticed your perfunctory "uh-huh" and "yeah" responses.]

[I couldn't help but feel surprised.]

[Since she comprehended the sword's essence and wielded the sword of destiny upon its birth.]

Those who can gain approval from even a single word or two, even if they appear calm and composed on the surface, cannot hide their inner elation.

I can face you.

[Her praise was 70% genuine.]

[They're gradually becoming perfunctory.]

It's truly... inexplicable!

Was what she said unpleasant?

Given your behavior, Pei Qingyu decided against further pleasantries.

[Let's get down to business.]

Holding the teapot, he poured tea for you and tentatively inquired, "What is your identity as the person who has come to Bingzhou?"

The answer she wanted was simple.

[As long as you didn't come as a Celestial Patrol Envoy.]

Everyone will then live in peace.

After all, Bingzhou was dominated by Xiang Che's rebellion.

The position of Imperial Envoy was one of imperial appointment and celestial inspection.

There are irreconcilable conflicts between them.

"A direct disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion, a contemporary Daoist prodigy."

Your answer surprised her.

This secretly relieved him.

It seems you have no intention of interfering in the situation in Nancang.

Pei Qingyu's smile deepened, making her even more captivating.

Then we began to discuss the culture, geography, poetry, ancient books, and historical anecdotes of Bingzhou.

You're starting to drift off again.

Why is the fairy being so slow this time?

Last time, you barely showed your face before she locked onto you with her Celestial Sword Heart.

Pei Qingyu observes your expression.

The tone of the voice, which had been quoting classical texts, gradually lowered until finally falling silent.

You're the first man who's ever been distracted when he's with her.

[In a short period of time, I lost focus twice.]

[If it weren't for the profound mystery of her swordsmanship, her beauty would be self-evident.]

I'm starting to doubt my own charm.

Since she has no problem with her charm, the problem must lie with you.

[You don't know why the fairy who gave you the gift remained silent and stared straight at you.]

[Left hand resting on the table, his posture relaxed and languid.]

"Why has the fairy stopped talking?"

"You seem rather bored."

[Your soft laughter.]

"Boating on the lake, with a beautiful woman by my side, it's so peaceful and serene; I just want to take a nap."

Pei Qingyu was taken aback by these words.

She sensed your sincerity in your words, and they weren't just empty flattery.

[That kind of ease, a stolen half-day of leisure amidst a heavy burden of responsibility.]

It comes from the bottom of my heart.

She remained silent, sitting upright.

[Through clear eyes, gazing down at your figure leaning against the desk, head propped up.]

I saw you slowly close your eyes.

[Asleep...]

Pei Qingyu's eyes held a complex mix of surprise, admiration, and an indescribable emotion.

If it were anyone else, they would likely adopt a perfunctory, casual, and indifferent attitude in front of her.

Most of them are just putting on an act.

[Actually, it was to attract her attention.]

And your words and actions are sincere and genuine.

What truly moves them is the connection between your current state and your magnificent achievements.

A vivid and sublime image of the figure immediately appeared in my mind.

You have done too much and carried too heavy a burden for the sake of the common people.

Now, in her presence, I can steal a moment of peaceful sleep.

[This surprisingly gave Pei Qingyu a strange sense of smug satisfaction.]

The atmosphere was tranquil, with the occasional autumn breeze rustling through the maple leaves and rippling the lake.

Suddenly, your brows twitched slightly, and you opened your eyes.

[She stretched lazily.]

"Thank you."

[She smiled brightly and thanked Pei Qingyu.]

Pei Qingyu shook her head.

[He looked up at you with a complicated expression, then lowered his eyes again.]

The weariness in your eyes has faded.

[It has regained its former cold, profound light.]

[Slightly puzzled.]

Why is Pei Qingyu acting like she's about to be defeated before she can even retaliate?

【no. 】

[You didn't even use the superficial application of the black tag "Succubus Body," did you?]

I browsed through the talent attribute database.

After confirming that she was not asleep, she accidentally activated the "Succubus Body".

If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it.

He used his left hand to support himself as he stood up.

Pei Qingyu followed after seeing this.

The two of you are facing each other across the table.

"If the fairy has nothing else to say, I will continue my journey."

Pei Qingyu shook her head.

Then he suddenly pressed, "Where are you going next, sir?"

"Jingzhou."

"What a coincidence."

Pei Qingyu smiled faintly.

"I am also heading to Jingzhou. If you don't mind, would you like to travel with me?"

Your eyes narrowed slightly.

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong.

Why did Pei Qingyu's gaze change after I just took a nap?

[Suspicion lingered in my mind.]

However, he did not refuse her invitation.

[I'll find a good opportunity to leave a backdoor in her swordsmanship.]

[Pei Qingyu's cherry-red lips curved into a smile upon hearing your agreement.]

A mysterious mystery unfolds as the small boat cleaves through the mirror-like lake and arrives at its shore.

[Yu Ci, engrossed in his studies, and a black cat, listlessly munching on a dried fish.]

Everyone turned to look at you.

"Let's go, Fairy Pei, come with us."

I expressed my doubts, but did not ask further.

[The black cat, Xu Kun, then turned its eerie green eyes.]

[You got it already?]

[Their methods are so profound and unfathomable?]

Even its treacherous inner demons are hard to detect?

[On your journey to survey the heavens, one more companion has joined you.]

[Pei Qingyu's pass is currently more useful in Bingzhou than that of the constantly trembling Xiang Che.]

[The journey was smooth and unimpeded.]

[And because Pei Qingyu incurred jealousy and provocation, you were given the opportunity to manipulate the Bronze-level game.]

As I left Bingzhou, autumn was deepening.

You travel by boat along the Xiang River.

[Arrived in Jingzhou.]

Familiar places are now engulfed in flames of war.

[Given the chaotic state of warfare in the land, even with the old Taoist's intimidation, Xiang Che and Chen Chao dared not act recklessly.]

[It still affects ordinary people to some extent.]

[Sizzle...]

You snap your fingers lightly, and the long-dormant black arc of electricity crackles.

The sky has darkened.

[Frontline battlefield.]

[Xiang Che, with an overbearing and domineering air, gripped his beloved halberd and looked back with a detached gaze.]

【this……】

Why did Fairy Pei bring that dirty thing with her?
