After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Why... is there a sound of wind in Sister Shiyan's room?

Moreover, the sound of the wind seems to be getting closer and closer.

Maybe it's just my imagination?

The splashing of water in the bathtub hadn't stopped yet, and there couldn't possibly be anyone else in Sister Shiyan's room.

Wenren Jiu pressed his entire body against the wall, as if trying to hear more clearly.

On the other side of the wall, Shi Yan had already silently knelt on the bed.

He was only wearing a bath towel covering his private parts.

"Swaying Leaf Roll", forever the best!

Just like the name of the exercise, when the master said that he was using the body movement technique, there was only a faint sound, like an autumn leaf being picked by the wind.

Although it's only a purple-quality movement technique, Shi Yan wouldn't forget about it even if there were other higher-quality movement techniques available.

Jin can transform into the wind during battle, becoming invincible for a few seconds.

It is possible to retreat... to enter the main hall and room, to squeeze through cracks and gaps.

You can even cosplay as the invincible esper Saten Ruiko, transforming into an "updraft" to lift up the skirts of girls.

Moreover... "Wandering Leaf Scroll" was the first gift Jun Qianrou gave herself. It holds special commemorative significance.

The thought that Jun Qianrou had indirectly given him this "Swaying Leaf Scroll" even made Shi Yan feel a forbidden sense of immorality.

Decided.

After repairing the "Frost Sword Night Star Array" and settling most of the matter concerning Wenren Ershu, I'll use the movement technique Jun Qianrou gave me to strike first... ah, no, I mean go and apologize to Jun Qianrou.

Speaking of which... when someone is asked to apologize with thorns on their back, do they have to be shirtless and carry the thorns on their back to show their sincerity?

So cool!

but--

What Shi Yan needs to deal with now is that the little girl is eavesdropping on him from across the room.

ka ka ka-

A faint scratching sound from fingernails.

Shi Yan could even guess that Wenren Jiu was probably pressed against the wall, listening to the sounds coming from her room, her little hands practically reaching out to pry open the wall.

Luckily, he was quick-witted and clever enough to trick the little girl into giving him her spare key. Otherwise, she would probably have already rushed over and wanted to bathe with him.

With a blank expression, Shi Yan took out two sword fragments from his storage ring and then rubbed them hard against the wall.

"Eek!!!" Shi Yan could clearly hear the pitiful sobs of the girl on the other side of the wall.

It was like amplifying the sound of a cat scratching a blackboard tenfold, with the girl's ear pressed against the blackboard.

thump—

A dull thud as the bed was slammed.

Shi Yan could picture Wenren Jiu lying limply on the bed, her limbs twitching from time to time.

"I'm so bad... I'm so bad."

Shi Yan propped himself up and carefully put away the sword fragments. Then, he manipulated the spells within the room to activate the soundproof barrier.

Across the room, Wenren Jiu lay on the bed indignantly, pounding the bed repeatedly in a wronged manner.

"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy—"

"My nemesis, my nemesis, my nemesis—"

A sob escaped the girl's throat. She heard the complete silence across the room and knew that her sister Shiyan had activated a soundproof barrier.

Well--

but...

Does that mean...?

The girl glared at the wall, then slowly curled up in the blankets.

Turning around, Shi Yan slowly walked towards the bath.

In the bathroom... Shi Jiuzhou hugged his knees with both hands, his chin resting on his knees, with half of his face submerged in the water.

Glug glug glug—

A series of bubbles rose to the surface of the water.

The girl cautiously looked up at Shi Yan, her heart pounding.

That's right... In fact, all the romantic scenes that Wenren Jiu just imagined were just fantasies.

The one paddling on the water's surface is Shi Jiuzhou, his face flushed with embarrassment, who was thrown into the bath by Shi Yan.

"Master...Master..." came the soft, trembling voice.

Shi Yan could clearly hear the shyness in the girl's words, but even so, Shi Jiuzhou's gaze never left Shi Yan.

Shi Yan touched the water surface with his toes to test the water temperature.

She really liked those very hot baths.

Shi Jiuzhou's bright eyes were glued to him.

I want to...hold my master's ankle.

Shi Yan stepped on the pebbles at the bottom of the pool and slowly approached Shi Jiuzhou.

The bath in Xuehan Palace was not a completely flat pool. At the deepest part, Shi Yan had to stand on his tiptoes and tilt his head back to keep his face above the water.

The deepest and outermost part has a stepped terrace where you can sit normally or curl up in a corner like Shi Jiuzhou, hugging your legs.

Seeing Shi Yan almost 'floating' towards him, Shi Jiuzhou hurriedly stretched out his arm, trying to catch Shi Yan.

Led by the girl, Shi Yan pounced on Shi Jiuzhou.

Both of them were submerged in the bathtub.

On the water's surface... all that could be seen was the girl's loose hair, and within it... a pool of alluring, snow-white skin.

The bathwater was very clean.

Shi Jiuzhou and Shi Yan looked at each other underwater.

Glug glug glug—

A series of bubbles surged to the surface of the water. Shi Yan and Shi Jiuzhou held hands tightly, their fingers intertwined. Shi Yan's chin rested on the girl's shoulder.

"Why don't you just conjure up a bath towel..." Shi Yan teased.

Little did he know that this teasing remark directly hit the girl's sore spot.

Shi Jiuzhou's face visibly turned aggrieved quickly, and his lips pouted high.

"It's...it's not because of Master!!!" The girl cried out in Shi Yan's heart in an instant.

While she was passively generating electricity and fainting, she inexplicably became material for her master to advance to the 'Golden Core Realm'.

Shi Jiuzhou completely transformed into the shape of Shi Yan, inside and out.

after that...

Although she had Shi Yan's tacit permission to emerge from Shi Yan's strange 'golden core', the sword spirit energy had already become her master's.

She has no way to transfer him.

The girl became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and Shi Yan, seeing that she was about to cry, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Holding the girl's hand tightly, Shi Yan chose the quickest way to comfort her.

"Master...Master..."

"Hmm?"

"Master clearly said... next time, next time he'll let me have my way..."

Part 152 "Auntie! You didn't leave the door locked, did you!?" [Second update, 3K words]

He almost fell asleep while holding Shi Jiuzhou.

Teacher Yan was in a rare moment of comfort.

It turns out... the feeling that drives other girls is also so exhilarating.

Especially seeing Shi Jiuzhou sobbing like that.

Continue to encourage the girls.

Looking at the girl's slightly panting, weary expression, with tears welling in her eyes as if she were about to cry, Shi Yan felt a mixture of malice and pleasure.

Without even looking at the character attribute panel, Shi Yan fell asleep while holding Shi Jiuzhou.

Shi Jiuzhou's body was cold and soft.

It's the kind of thing that's perfect to hold in your arms and use as a pillow.

Especially... the girl is so well-behaved.

When she was being held in his arms, she would even deliberately suppress her breathing, as if she was afraid that her breath would blow on Shi Yan and disturb her master, and then punish her.

However, Shi Jiuzhou was actually overthinking it.

Because of the side effects of the "Drunken Immortal Brew" from the landlady, Shi Yan was already quite tired.

After getting off the carriage, she just wanted to find a place to get a good night's sleep. She dragged her tired body through the night to keep from collapsing.

Then--

"Hey, hey, hey..."
