After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

She whispered in Shi Yan's ear, almost at zero distance, "This is a gift that belongs only to the little sister."

Shi Yan's heart was racing wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.

She could only quickly ask the question at hand.

Did the proprietress foresee Wenren Jiu all along, or foresee everything, before she forced herself to drink that glass of wine?

The tavern owner neither answered nor denied it.

She simply sat languidly on the desk, her eyes soft and beautiful, and then... nodded gently.

Shi Yan's gaze was almost completely fixed on him.

But she still resolutely asked the next question.

"That...that day..."

"After I got drunk...did you do anything to me?" Shi Yan's throat was dry.

She originally intended to say that if she were bullied, she would make the tavern owner pay back a thousandfold, no matter what.

But... she suddenly realized.

I didn't come here seeking revenge at all.

This woman is incredibly cunning; I have no control over her at all.

I might... no, I'm practically here to deliver goods to your door.

Can--

The tavern owner didn't seem to think so.

Upon hearing Shi Yan's question, she instead revealed a rather charming smile.

What did you do?

"No..." The tavern proprietress looked at Shi Yan with seductive eyes, her alluring red lips suddenly curving upwards, "I can't make a move on you."

"This is..."

"The agreement."

Without asking Shi Yan who this was an agreement with, Shi Yan saw the dignified and charming woman slowly lean back and lie on the desk.

She spread her arms out.

The woman's beautiful eyes had a slight blemish.

Her alluring eyes closed shyly, her crimson lips parted in a smile.

Shi Yan subconsciously murmured the words the tavern owner had said.

"She...can't bring herself to do it."

The key to the problem... is—

"initiative?"

Part 171 Hero Saves the Beauty...I'm the Beauty!? [3K words per chapter]

Holding onto the wall, Shi Yan staggered out of the tavern's back door.

This scene seems somewhat familiar.

Shi Yan raised the back of his right hand to cover his lips.

The cheeks that the back of my hand touched seemed to be a little hot.

There is no mirror.

But Shi Yan knew that his cheeks must be very red right now, very, very red.

Breathing amplified in my ears.

A bitter, astringent feeling, like the taste of wine just swallowed, rose in Shi Yan's throat, and he felt that even his breath must be sweet now.

This time, even more "Drunken Immortal Wine" was poured down their throats.

However... this time the way of drinking it is slightly different from the last time.

Shi Yan could still vaguely see the image of the tavern proprietress's alluring arms wrapping around him.

Consciousness seemed to be rapidly pulled out of the body, and the brain's reaction speed decreased rapidly.

But... perhaps it's the special effect of "Drunken Immortal Brew".

The body's sense of touch and sensitivity did not decrease.

On the contrary... it is expanding and fermenting.

This made Shi Yan feel as if he were in a dream, a dream that was too beautiful and too real.

Shi Yan opened his character attribute panel.

The lingering touch on his fingertips was still warm and smooth. The character attribute panel, which should have been empty, felt to Shi Yan like smooth silk, or perhaps—

It is a woman's smooth and flat abdomen.

The scene of the tavern proprietress leaning back on the desk, giving Shi Yan a charming smile, seemed to reappear.

Memories intertwine, hazy and indistinct.

With a gentle bite to the tip of the tongue, the flavor of "Drunken Immortal Brew" seems to linger on the lips and teeth once again.

Shi Yan saw his own attributes.

As always, he was "drunk".

However, this time... the "Ninth Level of the Cave Heaven Realm" that Jun Qianrou and Wenren Ermo had comprehended together in Frost Rainbow Valley had changed again.

[Cultivation level: Ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm (in the process of breaking through)]

What will they take this time?

The teacher gently touched his chest.

"Nine Provinces..."

"Nine Provinces..."

Even if it means going back and being completely taken advantage of by that woman, it's better than having something important sacrificed for no reason.

I still haven't been able to return Shi Jiuzhou's sword spirit energy to her.

"Master?" A very faint, weak voice rang in Shi Yan's heart.

"Jiuzhou..." Shi Yan's voice seemed to be tinged with drunkenness. Shi Jiuzhou even felt that he could smell the sweetness of wine and grapes exhaled from his master's mouth.

"Can Jiuzhou take me back to the tavern?"

"or..."

"Or help me... help me..." Shi Yan struggled to support his body against the wall with his left hand, while his right hand trembled as he took out a jade ring from his storage ring.

The spiritual energy is inwardly gathering and transforming.

The master said he was about to break through to the next level.

It is at the same level as the "Spirit Realm", but is also higher than the other's realm.

Unable to control spiritual energy, Shi Yan had no way to summon Yunshang to take him back to Yinghua City.

We can only place our hopes on Master Jiuzhou.

After Shi Jiuzhou became 'a part' of Shi Yan, his spiritual energy became highly compatible with Shi Yan's. In addition, Yunshang should have met Shi Jiuzhou before.

So there shouldn't be any problem.

"Huh!??" A girl's panicked voice echoed in my mind.

"But...but..." came the shy, almost broken, voice.

"How am I supposed to get out of here now?!" Shi Jiuzhou was almost in tears.

Master Shiyan is not in Shuangyong City right now.

Shi Jiuzhou watched the pedestrians coming and going at the entrance of the alley.

Occasionally, curious passersby would glance into the alley, then quickly leave after noticing the cloud pattern on Shi Yan's clothes.

Based on the 'smell' and concentration of spiritual energy, Shi Jiuzhou could determine that this was Nanjun City.

Shi Yan's hometown.

Every now and then, passersby would glance over curiously.

certainly--

In Shi Yan's view, the speed at which passersby came and went was extremely slow, almost like a stop-motion animation.

Shi Jiuzhou's voice sounded choked with tears, extremely aggrieved and shy, "I..."

"I'm coming out right now..."

Shi Yan felt as if he had overlooked something.

The jade sword at his chest began to tremble slightly, still filled with hesitation.

Shi Yan suddenly remembered.

Shi Jiuzhou's sword spirit energy was 'consumed' by himself.

As for Shi Jiuzhou, the sword spirit of the Legend of Sword and Fairy... he simply cannot wear ordinary clothes.

Including the Dance of Fine Snow.

The clothes worn by Snow Dancer are also made of special snow and cold air; ordinary clothes would be quickly frozen into ice helmets on Snow Dancer.

But on Shi Jiuzhou... he would be torn apart quickly.

That is to say-

Shi Jiuzhou has been completely naked ever since he entered the Cave Heaven Realm.

I saw it myself in the bathtub in Wenren Ermo's room back then.
