After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Speaking of which... Shi Yan hugged the girl's slender back.

Have I forgotten something?

Part 104 It's over, my Blade & Soul is broken [Second Update]

Although he hadn't slept much during the night, when he opened his eyes, Shi Yan felt incredibly refreshed, as if his whole body felt much more relaxed.

She put her arm around Xing Qiyan's shoulder, her hand touching a smooth, snowy surface.

The girl nestled against Shi Yan's arm, curled up into a tiny ball, looking pitiful and trembling, letting out soft snores.

Shi Yan gently stroked the girl's silky long hair.

As it turns out, not every Nascent Soul cultivator possesses a physique as exceptional as Wen Ruya's.

Mingming Shiyan felt that the intensity of his match against Xing Qiyan was not as great as when he faced Wen Ruya. The girl, however, was so tired that she could only rest her head on his arm and doze off, emitting soft...pet-like snores.

Shi Yan recalled the seemingly endless system logs when he left Yinghua City.

Xing Qiyan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, is not as physically strong as Hua Xiangrong was before she had any cultivation.

Because they were worried about what might happen if the girl returned to the Xing family, Shi Yan and Xing Qiyan were both a little hesitant when they talked, afraid of making the girl cry.

As a result... it's still as soft as a pool of melting spring water.

Shi Yan expressionlessly pulled the girl's hand out from under his robe and opened his attribute panel with his right hand.

[Cultivation Level: Fifth Stage of Purple Mansion Realm]

All I can say is that Xing Qiyan's efforts were worthwhile.

But... the cultivation level I need to advance to a higher realm is far too high.

The same applies when comprehending the "Hidden Sword Technique".

It only increases by a tiny bit every week.

It's more effective to directly drain a girl's energy to gain more cultivation points.

The "Hidden Sword Technique" definitely improves faster when you find someone to practice swordsmanship with.

Otherwise, once the matter in Nanjun City is resolved, I'll just go directly to the Qinglian Sword Sect to find Qin Suhuai.

Find her to fencing first.

I'll find her again to 'fencing'.

You can improve your cultivation level day and night.

If Shi Yan remembers correctly, Qin Suhuai's cultivation should have already broken through the Nascent Soul stage and reached the Divine Transformation stage.

"To aid... umm... what Master Yan means is that by studying the way of the sword, one will surely gain a lot of experience."

But speaking of fencing...

Have I really forgotten something very important?

Just then, Shi Yan suddenly noticed a small purple line before the cultivation level on the panel attributes.

The purple line that originally marked "|" has quietly thickened a little, turning into "I".

Is this... a progress bar?

What happens when it's fully charged?

And... did the Purple Mansion Realm not have any bottlenecks in minor realms?

It looks much better than when Crystal Realm was still taking drugs.

Slide out the panel.

Shi Yan carefully pulled his arm out from under Xing Qiyan's head.

Perhaps because she was too sleepy, the girl didn't react at all, she just slightly opened her mouth and yawned.

Xing Qiyan curled up into a soft, cuddly ball.

Shi Yan gently put on her clothes, then tiptoed out of bed.

In fact, Shi Yan knew that this commotion was already quite obvious to Xing Qiyan, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator, but... perhaps out of a girl's gentleness, Shi Yan still tried to keep her movements low.

Behind her, Xing Qiyan, who was curled up in a ball, opened her eyes.

The girl watched Shi Yan's retreating figure and buried her face in her knees.

After tidying his clothes, Shi Yan pulled back the curtain.

Then they saw Xingcai, who looked listless and seemed like she could fall asleep at any moment, and... Shi Jiuzhou, who was serving in front of the tent with his hands clasped together and hanging down at his waist.

Looking at the newly emerging and scattered dawn light in the distant sky, Shi Yan immediately perked up.

She suddenly realized two things.

The tent where she held Xing Qiyan to sleep last night actually belonged to Xing Cai.

Judging from Xingcai's tired and listless appearance, as if she might fall asleep at any moment, perhaps... Xingcai listened outside all night.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Xingcai, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, would be so tired after only 'cultivating immortality for one night'.

Xingcai offered no explanation.

She didn't know what to explain, or how to explain it.

She couldn't very well say that she was fantasizing about the loving relationship between Master Shi and her fourth sister, and then go off to do something romantic out of love.

All Xingcai wants to do now is go back to her big bed and get a good night's sleep.

She reached out and put her hand on Shi Yan's shoulder. The woman's rather haggard appearance startled Shi Yan.

Although... Xingcai is Xingqiyan's younger sister.

However, Xing Cai's cultivation level was far inferior to Xing Qiyan's, and she now looked like a rather heroic woman.

This appearance always made Shi Yan feel that Xing Cai was Xing Qi Yan's elder.

Therefore.

Just thinking that Xingcai might have been eavesdropping at the door last night made Shi Yan's throat go dry, and a sense of immorality seemed to spread wildly within him.

She met Xingcai's gaze, and instinctively moved her body to the side.

It's like someone has taken advantage of another's 'younger sister,' and now her aunt or older sister is coming to their door.

Xingcai staggered into the tent.

Looking at Xingcai's retreating figure, Shi Yan still felt...excited.

Be honest.

“Master…” Shi Jiuzhou’s soft voice called Shi Yan back to his senses, and Shi Yan suddenly woke up.

Oh no, I forgot about the Dance of Fine Snow.

“Jiuzhou... Xuewu..." Shi Yan gently grasped Shi Jiuzhou’s shoulder.

The girl's face immediately turned down in a pitiful expression.

He had been listening to his master's strange woman's 'sweet nothings' at the door for so long... and then his master came up and asked about that broken sword.

"Still tied up." But... since it was Master Shi Yan's question, Shi Jiuzhou would still answer honestly.

Oh no, oh no!

This is completely ruined.

Shi Yan quickly took Shi Jiuzhou's hand and pulled him towards his own tent.

The Dance of Fine Snow is different from Shi Jiuzhou.

Since I've never been able to get enough of your favorability, this 'torture' of her might just make her defect.

In this world, besides herself, the most suitable master for the Dance of Fine Snow is definitely Jun Qianrou.

At that time...

Shi Yan seemed to already see the scene of the two women turning evil at the same time.

This is a serious mess.

Holding Shi Jiuzhou's hand, Shi's words and actions were as swift as the wind.

Once Shi Yan had him caught, Shi Jiuzhou didn't care about anything else.

Jiuzhou... is already very happy to be remembered and captured by its master at a time like this.

wow-

Shi Yan suddenly flung open the tent flap.

A pair of pitiful, frost-blue eyes, their gaze seemingly unfocused, were raised.

A wave of guilt washed over me.

"Ugh..." A very slight panting sound as it pressed against the cloth.

Just as Shi Yan was about to step forward, he saw Fine Snow Dance sway and lean forward unsteadily.

There was no opportunity for Shi Yan to help him up.

clang-

The frost-blue ice sword fell into a puddle of melting ice water.

Part 105 It seems like all Blade & Soul players have Stockholm Syndrome [First Update]

No matter how hard Shi Yan thought about it, he never expected such a thing to happen.

The sound of the ice sword clattering to the ground stopped in her sight... It was Snow Dance herself, her mouth half-open, looking so helpless that she seemed ready to sob at any moment.

As the curtain was drawn back, light shone on the woman's haggard and listless face.

Her beautiful, frost-blue eyes seemed to have lost their soul and were about to glaze over.

Her little face looked up pitifully. But because she had been in a dimly lit environment for a long time, her eyes, unable to focus properly, couldn't catch Shi Yan's figure at all.
