After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Shi Yan checked his clothes and body briefly but found no suspicious marks or hickeys.

Only... she stretched out her pink fist and clenched it.

My strength has increased again.

With his right index and middle fingers together, Shi Yan swiped down and brought up the control panel.

really...

[Cultivation Level: Body Tempering Stage 3] has quietly changed to [Cultivation Level: Body Tempering Stage 5].

Shi Yan opened the records under the panel.

The record has a few more lines.

"You have practiced dual cultivation with Wen Ruya."

"Your cultivation has broken through to the second stage of Body Tempering."

"Your cultivation has broken through to the third level of Body Tempering."

···

"You have practiced dual cultivation with Wen Ruya."

"Your cultivation has broken through to the fourth level of Body Tempering."

"Your cultivation has broken through to the fifth level of Body Tempering."

Shi Yan gently touched her lips, as if a hint of alluring sweetness still lingered on them.

It's probably a farewell kiss or a good morning kiss.

That guy...

Never mind, Shi Yan closed the record bar.

She was thinking about cultivation.

He broke through four minor realms in one night.

According to Jun Qianrou's experience, this speed is simply a miracle in this world.

Does that mean living off a woman is the only way to succeed?

Shi Yan was making excuses for himself.

She claimed she was forced into it... and that she said yesterday she would never again be a kept woman.

The key point is that it is gentle and soft.

As I tidied my clothes, the teacher said it was time to get up.

In the blink of an eye, half of the Body Tempering Realm has passed. It's time to go to Langya Pavilion in Nanjun City to find a suitable cultivation technique.

But... the girl's small hand reached out to the headboard, but she didn't find what she wanted.

Recalling the scene yesterday when Wen Ruya held that white silk ribbon in her hand and played with it, Shi Yan's shoulders trembled slightly, and blood gradually seeped into the back of his neck.

She...she's a psychopath!

Part 16 The Waiting Bride [Fourth Update]

It's one thing if they just play with it in front of me.

They actually stole it!

"Perverted, perverted, perverted..." Shi Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself. He could almost see Wen Ruya holding the silk and generating electricity for love.

Believe it or not, that guy really is the kind of person who would do something like that.

Shi Yan felt her ears burning slightly, and vaguely, she seemed to see Wen Ruya lying on her bed, swaying her hips gracefully.

Why don't you just come to me if you have any needs?

Ugh... What am I even thinking about all day long?

After rubbing her face vigorously, Shi Yan got up and walked towards the wardrobe.

Fortunately... Wen Ruya didn't seem interested in the silk undergarments that had already been washed, or rather, yesterday was just a simple prank.

After changing his clothes, Shi Yan also found his 'wallet'.

That was a "stone-sinking ring".

However, it is only the lowest grade of storage ring, made from stone marrow that has been infused with spirit and refined through countless hammerings.

Its appearance is also very simple and unadorned, like a ring carved from Xiuyan jade.

The price is only three or four hundred spirit stones, just the price of a Qi Gathering Pill used by a Qi Refining cultivator to break through. For cultivators, they can earn that much in ten or fifteen days by doing manual labor.

Of course, as the lowest-grade storage ring, its storage capacity is quite limited. The storage space is only a little over one cubic meter. Moreover, it cannot store living creatures or restless natural treasures.

Shi Yan put the ring on the little finger of her right hand.

The ring closed automatically. Shi Yan stroked the ring, and the scene inside the ring entered her mind.

There are some spirit stones.

There are probably seven or eight hundred.

Buying a beginner-level "blue quality" cultivation manual should be enough.

If you're lucky, you might even find a high-quality "purple" cultivation technique.

Although he knew that if he asked Jun Qianrou or Wen Ruya, he would definitely be able to get a better cultivation method.

But...it's not good to always be a kept man.

Dual cultivation is already the limit that Master Yan can accept.

After washing up, Shi Yan went to Shi Xia's room.

The Shi family's layout is a courtyard system. Apart from the main mansion in the center, the vast Shi family estate is divided into courtyards of varying sizes for different clans, each with its own residence.

Shi Yan and Shi Xia lived in the same courtyard, their rooms facing each other from afar.

To exaggerate a bit... if Wen Ruya had made just a little more noise yesterday, and hadn't stepped into the soundproof barrier, Shi Xia could have even heard what was happening on Shi Yan's side.

dong dong dong-

Shi Yan knocked on the girl's bedroom door.

"Wait...wait a minute..." came a girl's muffled voice from inside the room.

Xiaxia still hasn't gotten up?

It's not right.

The girl was very diligent in her studies; she always got up very early.

Shi Yan thought of what happened yesterday.

Girls have a keen sense of smell; she must have caught the scent of gentle elegance emanating from herself.

But given yesterday's situation... she had no choice but to send the girl away.

With a soft sigh, Shi Yan gently pushed open the door. "I'm coming in."

Behind the screen, Shi Yan only saw the girl's fair little feet tuck in, and she curled up under the covers, the covers being pushed up high by the girl's little head.

"I...I haven't changed my clothes yet." Shi Yan could hear the rustling sound of clothes brushing against skin under the covers; the girl was probably changing her clothes while snuggled in the blankets.

She closed the door behind her and sat down next to Xiaxia.

Compared to her own room, Xiaxia's bedroom has a more girlish feel.

The light purple curtains were only half-drawn, and a wooden dressing table stood beside the couch.

Under the bronze mirror, the little doll I gave her in my memory was neatly arranged, with an unfinished book next to it.

Through the blankets, Shi Yan gently stroked the girl's head, "Xiaxia..."

Under the covers, the girl's body trembled, her little head tilted up slightly, and the rustling sound of changing clothes stopped.

"What happened yesterday..."

“I understand.” The girl’s voice was muffled from under the covers. “Jun Qianrou is my sister’s betrothed.”

"I understand."

The teacher's hand, which was stroking the girl, suddenly stopped.

Jun Qianrou?

She probably realized that the girl had misunderstood something.

But that's alright.

Rather than letting Xiaxia know about another Wen Ruya, it's better to let her believe that the person in her room yesterday was Jun Qianrou.

Although Shi Yan understood.

You can't hide it forever.

Shi Yan gently rubbed the girl's head through the blankets and chuckled softly, "Then Xiaxia is still my bride-to-be."

The girl's body trembled slightly under the covers.

"Wh...what do you mean by 'waiting for a daughter-in-law'? My sister and I are both girls...it's impossible." She pretended to be stubborn, but inside she was already laughing hysterically, and her voice had become lively again.

My sister... I still remember.

Shi Xia gently gripped the blankets.

"Oh? Xiaxia, are you trying to deny it?" Shi Yan pressed down on the girl's head next to him, as if he wanted to hug her. "That won't do."

"Xiaxia already belongs to me."

"Okay, okay!" the girl said shyly.

The girl beneath Shi Yan slumped down, and then a small head with bright red ears suddenly popped out from under the blankets behind her.

Turning around, Shi Yan suddenly froze.

Wait...wait a minute...
