After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The girl wrapped her arms around Shi Yan's arm, tilted her head, and asked, "What...?"

She felt that her face must be very hot right now.

Even though I had been sitting outside Sister Shiyan's room for too long and my bottom felt numb from the cold, Sister Shiyan didn't need to pick me up like that.

It's practically like holding a baby and doing *that*.

Or perhaps...

Her eyes seemed to be filled with a pink mist, or perhaps... it was a pose like the one in the picture book Leng Xiang had shown herself.

Wenren Jiu gripped Shi Yan's arm tightly, her body trembling.

but--

There was no resistance.

The softness rubbing against her back made Wenren Jiu focus almost all her attention on her back.

At the same time... the rich plum blossom fragrance emanating from Shi Yan's hair and entering her nose would remind Wenren Jiu of her mother.

It's like... it's like being held in my mother's arms like this.

There's a tiny bit of confusion in my heart.

"It's true that Sister Shiyan slept in Mother's bed for a whole day and night, so it's normal that she picked up a little of Mother's scent."

"but--"

"Isn't it a bit too strong?"

"It felt like I had slept in my mother's arms for a whole day and night."

"Speaking of which..."

"I haven't seen my mother since I came back."

"That girl Lengxiang only said... Mother has important business to attend to."

"But it's great."

"Sister Shiyan's food tastes amazing, and Mother's food tastes amazing too."

"..."

Without giving Wenren Jiu a chance to continue her suspicions, Shi Yan carried Wenren Jiu out of the house.

There's also Wenren Ermo in the room.

Although Sister Mo probably doesn't even have the strength to hum now.

But what was that saying again?

Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes.

Whether it was Wenren Jiu saying she wanted to rest for a while, or Sister Mo squeezing out a few soft, fragmented sounds.

That would be difficult to handle.

This includes when he bullied Sister Ermo before.

Shi Yan had looked at the mini-map and knew that Wenren Jiu had not returned to her room.

Although the special structure of the side hall of Xuehan Palace causes the sounds in Wenren Jiu's room and his current temporary room to amplify each other, it makes it easier for Wenren Ermo and Wenren Jiu to have a heart-to-heart talk.

but--

The sound insulation inside and outside the room is quite good.

In other words... and Sister Mo was gasping for breath with her mouth open like that before, even when she was on the verge of losing consciousness, she still had to raise her delicate hand to cover her mouth...

It's completely unnecessary.

But Sister Mo doesn't know that.

It seemed as if a little devil was hiding inside Shi Yan. Shi Yan was brandishing a trident, waving her heart-shaped tail, and laughing "Oh ho ho ho".

Holding Wenren Jiu, Shi Yan carried the girl out of the room.

Then, he activated the wind to close the door, and at the same time used the key to activate the soundproof barrier, the warning barrier, and the defense barrier.

Wenren Jiu nestled in her arms, her little face already flushed with shyness.

It's already embarrassing enough to be simply lifted up by the knees, let alone walking around like that.

Wenren Jiu's little head had already conjured up all sorts of strange and wonderful scenarios.

She used a sobbing voice to whine to her older sister, Shiyan.

"Eeeeeeeeeeea—"

If she were in her own bed, Wenren Jiu would definitely be so embarrassed that she would be rolling around on the bed.

But... I'm in Sister Shiyan's arms right now.

Wenren Jiu could only tremble slightly with embarrassment, then turned her head to look at the floor.

Just then—

The maid who had accompanied Wenren Jiu to Shuangyong City earlier appeared at the corner of the corridor carrying food.

It seemed he was thinking about something, and the sky was already getting quite dark.

Therefore, the little maid did not notice Shi Yan and Wenren Jiu.

By the time she reached the corner, it was too late. The maid looked at the 'charming and dashing' Shi Yan, and then at her young mistress being held in Shi Yan's arms like a baby.

The young lady's skirt was very long, hanging down like that, obscuring the details between the two people.

However... the little maid also imagined a series of outrageous actions.

So embarrassing!

Should I tell the Palace Master?

The young lady actually... actually had sex with the young master in broad daylight, under the open sky... She couldn't bring herself to say it!

Her heart was pounding wildly. The young maidservant's professionalism was pushed to the limit, preventing her from throwing the food on the ground and running away screaming.

Even so, the little maid turned around expressionlessly, and like a drifting ghost, she 'shifted' out with small, shuffling steps.

She dared not show any expression.

They were afraid of disturbing their young mistress and son-in-law's enjoyment.

If the young lady then directly asks me to give her a maidservant, then... that wouldn't be bad?

The little maid had never seen such a handsome young man as Master Shi in all the time she had been in Frost Rainbow Valley.

If Master Shi were to wear a silk skirt, he would surely be even more ethereal and beautiful than the Palace Master.

In the embrace of the teacher's words—

Wenren Jiu watched the little maid turn and leave with a look of despair.

"We've been seen..."

"How...how shameful I am..."

"We've been seen—"

She made an adorable sound out of embarrassment, "It seems like my career is over."

If Wenren Jiu knew what the little maid was imagining right now, she would surely be even more desperate.

Shi Yan held Wenren Jiu in his arms, feeling the little girl trembling inside.

Amidst Wenren Jiu's grateful and tearful gaze, Shi Yan called out to the little maid.

"Wait a moment--"

The little maid's figure seemed to freeze in time.

The girl's face was flushed, as if she could already see her fate.

Having stumbled upon his young mistress and son-in-law's intimate moment, he'll surely be subjected to various attempts to silence them.

"Kill yourself?"

The young lady wouldn't do that.

"Then... all that awaits me is..."

"Oh dear, how embarrassing!"

"Should I pretend to struggle a little? If I don't pretend to struggle, won't I seem too spineless?"

"But what if the son-in-law likes that kind of girl?"

I wonder what this girl, who has an even wilder imagination than Wenren Jiu and might even be the 'culprit' who led Wenren Jiu astray, is imagining.

Shi Yan recalled the girl's name.

"Lengxiang?"

"Master...Master!" The little maid bowed to Shi Yan.

"Come with me." Shi Yan carried Wenren Jiu, who looked like she was about to break, and led the little maid with a head full of strange ideas toward Wenren Jiu's room.

She was hungry.

I haven't eaten much since noon yesterday.

I only drank a lot of water.

Although after swallowing a golden pill, one realizes that one's fate is not determined by heaven, cultivators can generally abstain from food and do not need to eat.

but--

Shi Yan doesn't have those kinds of preferences; she still enjoys eating three meals a day normally.

The rice should be soft.

Plain white steamed buns are fine too.

Ideally, it should be the kind that's small and white.

But Wenren Jiu and the little maid had no idea what Shi Yan was thinking. If one of them wasn't being held in Shi Yan's arms and the other wasn't carrying food, they would definitely be wriggling around on the spot.
