After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

From the moment she saw the 'boy' in front of her, Xing Qiyan knew that she belonged to 'him'.

The girl slightly opened her mouth.

With her tongue pressed against her neat, pearly teeth, she showed Shi Yan the wound on her tongue.

"pain..."

boom--

Shi Yan was immediately ignited.

She bent down and took the girl's wrist.

Xing Qiyan's eyes slowly widened.

Part 103 A Young Man Listens to the Rain in a Pavilion, Red Candles Dimly Light the Silk Curtains [First Update]

Nothing more was said that night...

"Fast forward to the second day...?"

Faced with the choice between being a beast or being worse than a beast, Shi Yan chose the former.

The girl's slender wrist was held.

Even trying to grab Shi Yan's shoulder, he couldn't move.

With tears welling in her beautiful dark eyes, Xing Qiyan watched Shi Yan slowly press down on her, her slender hands clenching almost helplessly.

Because of her embarrassment, she even felt like she had forgotten how to breathe.

A young man listens to the rain in a pavilion, where red candles dimly illuminate the silk curtains.

Outside the tent, Xingcai cracked the branch in her hand, then finally stabbed it directly into the ground.

She got up, took a deep breath, and walked towards the empty tent.

What else can we do?

Go find Xiaxia, expose Master Shi and Fourth Sister, and fight to the death.

Forget it... This time, Fourth Sister seems to be serious.

Xingcai had never seen her fourth sister, who was so stupid, act so "bravely," although... she was so "brave" that it seemed like she was throwing herself away.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Shi Yan began to contemplate life.

The girl lying curled up beside him was as obedient as a kitten, wrapping her arms around Shi Yan, her knees and thighs touching Shi Yan's sides.

Shi Yan casually placed his left hand down, letting Xing Qiyan hold and play with it in both hands.

The girl looked languid, curled up and seeking a sense of belonging and security from Shi Yan, absentmindedly fiddling with his fingers.

The two people were chatting.

From the Xing family and scenic spots in Jizhou, to... gossip about the beautiful female cultivators in Jizhou.

Xing Qiyan was practically selling out all the quirks of her second and third sisters.

Xing Qiyan did most of the talking, while Shi Yan listened.

Actually... Shi Yan didn't do anything excessive.

Ultimately, the two were complete strangers before, and tonight was merely their first encounter.

Facing the 'paper tiger' Xing Qiyan, Shi Yan still found it difficult to completely devour her.

The most crucial thing is actually... Xing Qiyan is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

When the girl gets into the swing of things, or when she overcomes her shyness, she might turn around and try to take advantage of him.

Then they discovered that Shi Yan wasn't some young master or prince. Instead, she was... a woman of unparalleled beauty.

Then it really will turn into a complete disaster.

Lightest.

He also tied himself up obediently and packed himself up to take back to Jizhou.

Moreover... once the Xing family discovers Xing Qiyan's abnormality, given Xing Qiyan's status in the Xing family, even if Xing Qiyan protects him, the Xing family will definitely send a team of cultivators to 'catch' him back.

Based on the status of the Star Celestial Bureau in the Nine Provinces and Ten Regions.

All we need to do is issue a "kill order"—our "son-in-law" has run away; anyone who sees him will be richly rewarded. Anyone who brings him back will also receive a hefty reward.

At that time, even the Azure Lotus Sword Sect might not be able to protect me.

Most importantly... what if the "kill order" issued by the Starry Sky Division 'just happens' to include his own portrait?

Shi Yan felt that his life was bleak just thinking about it.

I wonder how many fairies will fall in love with me at first sight, and a frenzy of searching for Shi Yan might even sweep across the land.

"Gulp—" Shi Yan swallowed hard.

She swiped her right hand to open her character attribute panel.

At this moment, the cultivation level column had changed to [Fourth Stage of Purple Mansion Realm].

There is no method of absorbing and replenishing one's energy. Xing Qiyan will not, like Wen Ruya, transfer her innate demonic energy to Shiyan to help him solidify his foundation and hone his cultivation.

Therefore, the improvement of cultivation level is relatively slow.

However... compared to tormenting Xiaxia, this is already very fast.

No matter how silly or clumsy she may seem, Xing Qiyan is ultimately a proper Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

"Qiyan." Shi Yan gently grasped Xing Qiyan's hand with his left hand.

Xing Qiyan's eyes flickered, her body slightly bent, and she gently rubbed her cheek against Shi Yan's hand.

"I still have a lot to do in Yizhou..." Shi Yan said softly.

Having gained absolute control, all she had to do was comfort the girl.

Xing Qiyan paused in her stroking of Shi Yan's hand.

"Is she Shilang's 'younger sister'?" The girl's voice was soft and sweet, with a languid charm as if a candied fruit had been melted in her mouth.

"Or...the Frost Rainbow Valley Saintess who was betrothed to Shilang since childhood?"

Shi Yan's body suddenly stiffened. She gripped the girl's small hand tightly, fiddling with her little finger. Xing Qiyan... seemed to know more than she did.

Too--

No matter what, Xing Qiyan is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

She is still the little princess of the Xing family.

He has connections to all levels of society.

It's perfectly normal to be able to understand your own situation.

Xing Qiyan's beautiful eyes held a hint of reproach, half-shy and half-coquettish...she leaned close to Shi Yan, "It's alright..."

"As long as Master Lang is willing."

"It would be fine to take them all to Jizhou." Thinking of the four hours that Xiaxia's tent was closed during the day... Xing Qiyan felt that she might not be able to serve Shi Yan on her own.

Just a light kiss... and I already felt like my nascent soul was about to break.

If things really did get to base... Thinking back to the little picture book her second sister brought home, Xing Qiyan's body tensed up like a drawn bowstring. She lowered her head to avoid Shi Yan's gaze, "Ji... Jizhou has abundant spiritual energy, which is more beneficial to your cultivation."

"It's just a mere Frostbear Valley."

“If Master wants to take the person away, no one can stop him.”

Xing Qiyan was telling the truth.

If Shi Yan were to now curry favor with the Xing Clan, Frost Rainbow Valley would indeed be nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will.

"No... there are other things." Shi Yan released the girl's little finger and poked her soft, bouncy cheek.

Frost Rainbow Valley is actually not important.

The important thing is Jun Qianrou.

Shi Yan said he had to do everything he could to maintain Jun Qianrou's mindset and prevent her from falling into the demonic path.

If Jun Qianrou were to become the 'Demon Lord of a Lifetime,' this continent would never find peace. And I... might very well be thrown into a dark room by Master Jiuzhou and the Dance of Fine Snow.

And besides Frost Rainbow Valley.

There's also the Love Sea Demon Sect, which is one of the "Ten Lands," and I'll have to visit it sooner or later.

Whether it's for the sake of his parents or for the sake of Wen Ruya, who has been missing for a month, he has to go to the Love Sea Demon Sect.

Hearing Shi Yan's words, Xing Qiyan nodded obediently. She held Shi Yan's hand and stroked her face, "As long as it's something else... not other girls, that's fine."

Shi Yan's body suddenly stiffened, and she quickly changed the subject.

"I promise Qiyan..." Shi Yan pinched the girl's lips, "Once I reach the Nascent Soul Realm, I'll go to the Xing family to find Qiyan, okay?"

Xing Qiyan nodded her little head with a slightly aggrieved look.

Shi Yan suddenly felt that if this were a game, he might already have the title of "the most despicable person in the world" on his forehead.

Having promised Jun Qianrou and Xing Qiyan, he also had to go find Wen Ruya.

Leaning down, Shi Yan embraced Xing Qiyan's soft body.

"Go to sleep."

Tonight...the night is still long.

Before the girl leaves Yizhou, he can still spend some time with her.

By the way~

While I'm at it, I'll also earn a little bit of cultivation points.
