After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

With boundless rage building up inside him, Shi Minzhou suddenly leaped off the wall, his mind already conjuring up images of pinning Shi Yan to a bench and whipping him with willow branches as a form of discipline.

Isn't it a bit inappropriate for a girl to do this?

Or... should I slap his palm?

Hitting the palm seems too lenient.

finally--

He endured so much hardship as a daughter-in-law before finally becoming a mother-in-law.

Shi Minzhou leaped out of the pit.

While his body was still suspended in mid-air, Shi Minzhou saw the smiling expression on the girl's face.

He was stunned.

I was completely stunned.

Just as he was holding on inside the pit, six colorful little balls, each with its own unique shimmering light, were already prepared beside Shi Yan and were spinning around.

Shi Minzhou recognized that thing.

"You little brat... are you really a member of the Shi family...?" He was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't our Shi family known for its lack of mastery of magic but exceptional swordsmanship from generation to generation...?

"Or is it...your mother...?"

This is totally wrong!!!

Shi Yan said that her mother was a member of the Love Sea Demon Sect.

But those small spheres surrounding her at this moment... were clearly the innate fortune [connected with the heavens] that only the direct descendants of the "Taiyi Sect," the sacred land of Qingzhou, could possess.

Taiyi Sect, the foremost holy land in Qingzhou, is skilled in magic and sorcery.

The power of magic flows through the blood.

The Taiyi Sect's unique innate Qi fortune, "Connecting with Heaven," has the effect of storing spells in advance during battle and then releasing them when needed.

It is said that the youngest princess of the Taiyi Sect in this generation is not only proficient in the Seven Meridians Technique, but also possesses the innate destiny of "connecting with the heavens".

It's practically a done deal; she's destined to be the next sect leader of the Taiyi Sect.

But... Shi Minzhou looked at the small spheres that were shining around Shi Yan.

The six small balls, each a different color, clearly represent a specific lineage of magic. Adding to this the Kan Water Lineage magic and the Dui Lake Lineage magic...

All eight meridians are present.

"Are you the daughter of the Holy Maiden of the Love Sea Demon Sect, or yet another 'little princess' lost to the Taiyi Sect?!"

But there was no time for him to struggle anymore.

Shi Yan grasped a small ball that crackled and sparked with electricity in his right hand, and then squeezed it tightly.

Beside it, the little Pixiu subconsciously looked up and licked its lips.

She recalled her first encounter with Sister Shiyan.

The milky taste seems to linger in my mouth again.

What a pity... I've rarely tasted that flavor from Sister Shiyan since then.

Shi Minzhou was completely devastated.

That's 'divine punishment'...that thing is 'divine punishment', isn't it?

Why are the spells you use even dirtier than those guys from the Taiyi Sect?

It's okay... as long as I'm fast enough, even faster—

Subdue Shi Yan before the lightning strikes.

Shi Yan flicked her hand, and another dark brown ball of soil was moved to her front.

She clasped her hands together and patted them in front of her chest.

The profound and mysterious truths were outlined, and behind her, two hexagrams quickly overlapped.

The upper trigram is Kun (坤), and the lower trigram is Gen (艮).

They overlap in pairs.

It is "humble".

The signature technique of the Kun Earth Vein is the collapse of the earth and the fall of the sky.

Shi Minzhou felt as if his ankles were being grabbed, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and he was forced back into the pit.

"You little brat!!!"

Boom boom boom—

A thunderous roar crashed down from the sky.

"That's going too far!!!"

The howling hurricane swept through, swirling up countless grains of sand and gravel.

"I******"

Two blazing, fiery dragons seemed to possess a spirit, swooping down towards the pit.

“Nephew Shi Yan!!!” Shi Minzhou’s tone gradually shifted.

"The Blade's Edge and Shadow".

The swords and blades crisscrossed, yet it was genuine Qian Tian magic.

On the side... even the Second Elder and Shi Qingran could hardly bear to look at the battlefield.

They had originally planned to ask Shi Minzhou to go easy on them, but now... the two of them silently turned their heads away.

How embarrassing!

Shi Minzhou, who was smashed to the bottom of the pit, had every hair on his head standing on end, and his clothes were tattered.

His body was charred black.

Only the spot where the "sword light and shadow" had just been cut revealed a patch of white, plump skin.

The physical attributes of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator are, after all, limited.

Although... he could have already admitted defeat.

However, this was the last straw. Shi Minzhou's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and instinctively, he wanted to punch the rock wall in front of him.

Body cultivators undergo a qualitative change after entering the Golden Core realm.

But... he is currently confined to the Spirit Realm.

Just as Shi Minzhou's internal energy was surging chaotically, he suddenly felt as if a light, floating energy had transferred from Shi Yan to himself.

Suddenly—

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

Shi Minzhou then remembered that... he was actually the one being held hostage.

Outside the pit.

Shi Yan's hand was already reaching for the last magic orb.

The upper trigram is Kun (坤), and the lower trigram is Gen (艮).

It is "humility".

The upper trigram is Gen (艮), and the lower trigram is Kun (坤).

It is "剥".

She stretched out her right hand, and countless pebbles, imbued with spiritual energy, gathered before her, gradually forming a small mountain.

It's not good to dig holes randomly.

Let's fill it in anyway.

Suddenly, Shi Minzhou's loud shout rang out from the bottom of the pit, "I give up!!!"

"I admit it!!!"

"I surrender!!!"

Shi Yan's expression finally relaxed.

She clapped her hands.

boom--

The hill suddenly lost its support and crashed down into the pit with a loud rumble.

"I... gurgle gurgle gurgle... ptooey ptooey ptooey..."

The hill and the pit fit together perfectly, completely drowning out Shi Minzhou's voice.

"Bonus Chapter: Clouds Imagine Clothes" [Fourth Update]

As always...

Yunyi was cleaning the Yinghua City Cabinet.

Compared to the bustling and noisy world of Yinghua City's outer chambers, Yinghua City's inner chambers are like a paradise, peaceful and serene.

Yunyi glanced at the doorway of Hua Xiangrong's boudoir.

My silly older sister was sitting cross-legged on the washboard with a melancholy look on her face, her head drooping as if she was about to fall asleep.

My sister upset Miss again yesterday.

He actually barged in while the young lady was... causing himself to be punished as well.

But... thinking about it, it makes sense.

Miss Shi Yan hasn't visited Yinghua City for almost half a month.

Given Miss's current temperament, it's as if she was given a tiny taste of candied fruit, and then the jar of sweetness was immediately put away.
