After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Shi Yan sat down and, under Wenren Jiuxing's sparkling gaze, placed the girl's small feet on his lap.

She began massaging the girl's calves.

"Are you feeling better now?"

Shi Yan is not a 'bad person' after all.

Wenren Jiu bit her lip tightly and remained silent. She leaned back, her gaze fixed on the carriage ceiling, seemingly unfocused.

It's a... strange feeling.

Her numb body seemed exceptionally delicate. She could even feel every bit of pressure from Sister Shiyan's fingertips, as well as the spiritual energy that gradually seeped into her body with Sister Shiyan's massage.

"Okay...okay..." Wenren Jiu struggled to get up.

My body is clearly telling me I want more, and more...

But the feeling of shame seemed to be burning the girl up.

Just like in the market in the morning.

If I let Sister Shiyan continue massaging me, I'll start acting strangely.

It's still numb.

However, girls are still cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm.

She could endure the slight soreness and numbness, and after circulating her inner energy a few times, she could tough it out. It was Sister Shiyan's massage... that was the real killer move that would make her legs go weak.

Seeing that Wenren Jiu was struggling to get up again, Shi Yan helped the girl up.

Beside the curtain, the little maid had already turned her back.

It's best for a lowly maid like me not to see too much about my mistress's private affairs.

Even so...

The little maid's ears were still red from the humming sounds her young mistress was suppressing in her throat.

"Is it... that comfortable?"

Shi Yan helped Wenren Jiu get off the carriage. The girl's body was still swaying slightly, and her numb little feet seemed unable to bend.

He sighed with a hint of helplessness.

Shi Yan simply picked Wenren Jiu up in his arms.

The girl's face flushed red, and her eyes widened.

Without any intention of resisting, Wenren Jiu obediently leaned against Shi Yan's chest, as if she could still feel the warmth and softness of Shi Yan's embrace.

Shi Yan carried Wenren Jiu down from the carriage.

She was very considerate, making sure the girl's little hands held onto her clothes and that her little head and feet didn't touch the parts of the carriage.

The teacher said he would put the girl down once they were outside.

Get more activities done.

It helps with blood circulation and helps you recover from that tingling and numb feeling sooner.

Just then—

"Sister Ajiu..."

"Sister Ajiu..." The boy's voice rang out behind Shi Yan.

Without any intention of provoking hatred, Shi Yan simply turned around while carrying Wenren Jiu in his arms, purely subconsciously.

Clang—

Across from the carriage, the icicle in the boy's hand fell directly to the ground.

He glanced at the impeccably dressed Shi Yan, then at Wenren Jiu, who was nestled in Shi Yan's arms, looking obedient, adorable, and blushing.

transfixed.

Part 147 Teacher's Words: Mother-in-law! [3K words in one chapter]

"I was here first..."

Seeing the boy standing there in a daze, Shi Yan could even imagine what the boy was saying.

After all, I'm not some kind of 'bad guy'.

They even want to break up childhood sweethearts.

Shi Yan gently put Wenren Jiu down and patted the girl's thigh lightly behind her.

But unexpectedly... the girl's legs went weak and her body swayed.

Shi Yan felt his fingertips touch something soft and bouncy.

"Eee..." she whimpered pitifully. Wenren Jiu was about to collapse while supporting Shi Yan's body, but Shi Yan quickly put his arm around the girl's slender shoulders and let her lean against him.

ka ka ka-

Shi Yan felt as if he could even hear the chilling sound of ice freezing.

She could clearly see that the frost under the boy's feet across the carriage was freezing inch by inch, just like when Jun Qianrou confronted Ming Zhongqing.

"You lecherous scoundrel! Let go of Sister Ajiu!" The boy slammed his palm on the carriage shaft, and the icy energy condensed into layers of ice lotuses, the sharp points of which pierced towards Shi Yan's side.

The teacher did not move.

The boy had no intention of killing, and the direction of the ice lotus was also crooked.

Most importantly... he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, which Shi Yan really doesn't think much of anymore.

"Why didn't you dodge?" The boy looked at Shi Yan calmly, or rather—

He was immediately annoyed by their disregard for him.

Shi Yan put his arm around Wenren Jiu's shoulder and helped the girl stand up straight.

She did not answer the boy directly.

Because Shi Yan knew that it was best for him not to speak at this time.

or--

If she were to speak, she would directly state that she is actually a woman.

but--

This is Frost Rainbow Valley.

The place where Jun Qianrou went into seclusion.

Before I could tell Jun Qianrou that I was actually a girl, Jun Qianrou would already know about it.

That would be bad.

The gentler a girl is, the scarier she can be when she gets angry.

Shi Yan could already picture Jun Qianrou turning into a black-hearted monster with a blank expression, calling her "Sister Shi Yan" affectionately while grabbing her wrists and pressing her against the ice.

Wenren Jiu was both ashamed and angry. She struggled to support herself amidst the soft, seductive sensation that made her feel like her bones were melting, barely managing to stand.

"Let me explain..." Shi Yan sighed helplessly, taking the girl's small hand as a gesture.

She's not here to cause trouble this time.

I have no intention of making enemies with anyone in Frostrain Valley.

All I wanted to do was rescue Wenren Ershu and clear her name.

Wenren Jiu glanced at Shi Yan shyly.

hum-

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Shi Yan's heart.

Wenren Jiu released Shi Yan's hand and stepped forward, "Brother Gong Juren..."

Hearing the girl's address, Shi Yan almost couldn't keep his composure.

“I’ve always thought of you as an older brother…” Wenren Jiu clenched her fist, turned around and looked at Shi Yan, her gaze becoming firm.

She decided to take this opportunity to say what she had been keeping to herself all along.

Gong Juren's brother was very good to me...

Can--

I really don't have any feelings for him.

More than anything, it feels like family.

It was completely different from when I met Sister Shiyan at the market at noon today.

The moment Shi Yan pressed down on her and pushed aside her defenses, Wenren Jiu felt her whole body tremble, as if she were being pressed against a huge piece of lightning crystal. She could only futilely cling to Shi Yan's chest, using all her strength to support the drunken Shi Yan.

Having tasted the sweetness and possessing an inherently alluring nature, Wenren Jiu simply couldn't resist the temptation brought by her "naturally seductive charm."

Shi Yan was completely distraught.

Did I ask you to explain it that way?!

"No..." Gong Juren staggered back a step.

The plum blossoms in the snow and his figure complemented each other perfectly.

Shi Yan even became obsessed, feeling as if background music was playing in his ears.

Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling.

"A-Jiu!"

"The world is a vast expanse of white."

"Do not!!!"

It’s over.

Just a moment ago I thought the young man was handsome and that he and Wenren Jiu looked... well-matched?
