I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

"I'm full!"

Liu Xiyao frowned slightly, looking somewhat depressed, and left in a hurry.

But as she ran to the corner, she suddenly stopped and peeked out with her head out, sneaking around in the dark.

"This……"

Huang Quan was somewhat at a loss, so he shook the waiter over and said, "Put all expenses on Canghai Academy's name, and let them compensate for any damage."

"How about I find you a place to settle down first?"

Beside her, Gu Qici nodded and followed behind Huang Quan, though her pace was somewhat slow.

"Is your foot injured?" Huang Quan asked, noticing obvious scratches from a wooden stick on Gu Qici's right calf.

Just as she had said, this puppet clone had almost no power.

"Mm." Gu Qici nodded.

"I'll take you away?"

Gu Qici was stunned for a moment.

Does my senior mean to carry her on his back or to hug her?

Men and women should not touch each other; in this life, she has never been so intimate with Huang Quan.

Oh, it seems like I didn't have that in my past life either.

But... my feet really hurt!

By the way, this is a puppet clone, not its own body.

Even if something happened between her and her senior brother, it wasn't her body, so what does it matter?

Right?

Thinking this, Gu Qici nodded.

"it is good."

Huang Quan immediately wrapped his arms around Gu Qici's waist.

Through the thin fabric, the warmth of her skin wafted through the fabric.

Huang Quan was slightly surprised.

This skin looks just like the real thing.

This technology is far superior to the silicone dolls of my previous life.

How can it be made so realistically?

Huang Quan really wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Gu Qici about the structure of this puppet clone.

Is it really that realistic?

"Senior brother, why are you standing still?" Gu Qici's face was a little hot.

"Hmm... let's go." Huang Quan came back to his senses.

With Gu Qici in his arms, Huang Quan walked towards Canghai Academy.

Thousands of miles away.

Gu Qici's face turned red as she sat by the Moon Reflection Lake, her legs crossed.

"These are all illusions!"

"It doesn't feel real!"

However, from any perspective, her reaction was inevitably a bit too much.

……

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Foolish Former Tailed Beast (4000-word chapter)

After a long while, Gu Qici's voice came softly: "Senior Brother, can you let go of my hand now?"

Huang Quan quickly removed his hand, trying to distance himself from the situation.

He looked up and saw Gu Qici's resentful and puzzled gaze.

However, she suddenly thought of something: "Senior Brother, why not use spiritual energy to heal my injuries directly, or use a flying magic weapon?"

Huang Quan had been holding her for almost half an hour along the way.

"Cough cough..." Huang Quan coughed and released a burst of spiritual energy to soothe her wound.

Of course, he wouldn't admit that he wanted to hold Gu Qici a little longer... to see if her skin was any different from the real person's.

They approached their studies with a very rigorous attitude.

Of course, whether anyone believes him or not is not something Huang Quan should worry about.

"Then why didn't you remind me?" Huang Quan immediately changed the subject: "This is your residence. See if you are satisfied. I'm next door. You can come find me if you need anything."

Gu Qici looked at Huang Quan, scrutinizing him with a suspicious gaze.

That's right... Senior Brother... is a man.

"Okay." Gu Qici stopped dwelling on it and looked ahead.

The gauze curtains hung low, creating a hazy atmosphere, and the surrounding stone walls were completely covered with brocade.

Even the ceiling is covered with embroidered felt, making it both warm and cozy.

The bed was inlaid with jade and exquisitely carved, and the quilt was covered with brocade and embroidered blankets. Small sachets hung on the curtain hooks, emitting a faint fragrance.

It is clearly a room designed specifically for women.

"Canghai City should be quite peaceful lately, with no major disturbances expected, but there might still be some who slip through the net. If you're going out, be careful."

Huang Quan tossed her a token: "This is a temporary pass to the academy. Take it with you for now. It's not needed yet because there was a traitor, and all the magic arrays have been dismantled and are being rebuilt."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'll be careful during this time." Gu Qici quickly dispelled Huang Quan's worries: "Besides, this is a puppet clone. Even if there is a problem, I can cut it off in time and self-destruct when encountering an enemy."

"Ah, that's good—"

Huang Quan laughed it off.

Spring drowsiness, summer fatigue, autumn lethargy, winter hibernation.

He thought it was time for lunch break.

From a purely rational perspective, once a cultivator reaches the Transcendental Realm, they bid farewell to the tedious process of sleep and no longer need to worry about insomnia or their receding hairline.

The benefits of meditation exercises are sufficient to meet the body's most basic needs and are more effective than sleep in dispelling mental fatigue.

It's not sleep, but it's better than sleep.

But so what?

Even those in the underworld understand this principle.

It doesn't stop him from sleeping soundly at all.

His life has been rather monotonous lately.

There's nothing to do, and nothing that can be done.

What else can we do?

What can I do?

Or perhaps that's just how the world is; you can't hide under the covers to play games, nor can you wield a keyblade and take on a hundred enemies single-handedly.

He was always a loser.

Even if one achieves Nirvana, one cannot deprive this salted fish of its sleep time.

One of the joys of life.

If I had to say it's happier.

That means... it's still early, I'll sleep for another five minutes.

Of course, there are two types of sleep.

One is simply sleeping, which is very comfortable; the other is sleeping while 'hehehe,' which is also very comfortable.

For now, all I can do is sleep.

Huang Quan glanced at the location of Gu Qi Ci and closed his eyes.

……

Just one room apart.

The water temperature is just right.

Countless pink petals were scattered in the small pond, surrounded by a rich spiritual aura.

A faint fluorescence was emitted.

This is Gu Qici's masterpiece, created by heating it up and adding some of her special materials.

Now, Gu Qici is soaking in the hot spring with her eyes closed and completely naked.

She hadn't had a proper bath during her travels these past few days.

Now that she finally has the opportunity, how could she miss it?

Of course, it's not because her name is Shizuka.

After all, this body is no different from that of an ordinary person, and there are many trivial matters to deal with, so it is impossible not to take a bath.

Exhausted from the long journey, coupled with the sudden relaxation and comfort, Gu Qici slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

However, she only lowered her head for a moment before suddenly jolting as if she had just woken up from a dream, and it took her a sway to regain her balance.

Gu Qici opened her eyes.

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

This expression was completely different from before.
