After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Ming Zhongqing coughed, covering his mouth with a handkerchief.

How should we describe her feelings at this moment?

Very complicated.

Ming Zhongqing actually valued the relationships between clans and bloodlines.

Because of the saying "Heaven is jealous of talent" and because of his "exceptionally intelligent" nature, Ming Zhongqing was able to distinguish right from wrong and understand the principles of things at a very young age.

I've also come to understand... that my lifespan is predetermined.

So all she could do was cultivate, cultivate diligently, in an attempt to extend her life by even a little bit.

Aside from living a little longer, the most important thing for Ming Zhongqing was probably the Ming family.

That's why she spent so much time enlightening Ming Zhongle's cultivation, so that her brother wouldn't seem so 'foolish'.

That's why he didn't take it too seriously even after being betrayed in the "Sword Tomb".

Because she had nothing but the Ming family.

No...maybe there's something else too.

Hidden behind the ripples in Ming Zhongqing's heart was a girl's always cheerful smile.

Ming Zhongqing once said that she would never get married or fall in love with a boy in her life.

But... that girl just happened to be a girl who changed her hairpin and hat, and she so easily broke into my heart.

Ming Zhongqing sometimes wondered if she was really that important to her, otherwise why would she have been so furious to save her? To wake her up, she even kidnapped her sister-in-law right in front of her, just to save her own breath.

But... if that guy cares about her, why does she always bring up her forehead?

Even knowing exactly what I care about most, I still... I still make fun of myself.

Knowing full well that he didn't want to see her fall out with the Ming family, he still humiliated her elder brother and...himself.

Slowly collapsing to the ground, Ming Zhongqing lifted the white cloth and took a look.

Besides feeling lost, it was as if a stone that had been hanging in the air had finally been thrown into a puddle.

Ming Zhongqing covered his handkerchief and coughed again.

The registrar looked at Ming Zhongqing and suddenly bowed deeply to her, saying, "This old servant...this old servant is sorry for the Ming family."

Ming Zhongqing showed an unprecedented strength, "It's alright."

She comforted the old man, "Tell me slowly...tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

The servants who had been pushed away by Qin Suhuai slowly approached and began to recount what had happened in detail.

"Young Master said that girl is the heir of the Shi family..."

"But how is that possible?"

"We've all seen the young master of the Shi family before."

"..."

Ming Zhongqing's expression suddenly changed drastically.

She staggered to her feet, asked for details about the woman who had taken Shi Yan away, and then hurriedly ran towards the Shi family's residence.

All the resentment in my heart turned into panic in that instant.

That woman saved Shi Yan.

But... whether she is friend or foe, whether her relationship with Shi Yan is good or evil, is still unclear.

Ming Zhongqing could only hope that the woman was Shi Yan's 'another female companion'. Although the thought made him feel extremely bitter, it seemed to be the best possible outcome.

Things haven't been peaceful in Nanjun City lately.

The names of all those who had been commissioned by the Starry Sky Bureau were now on the list.

A witch who picks flowers has come here, and she has already harmed quite a few girls.

He carried Shi Yan back to his hotel.

Qin Suhuai carefully placed Shi Yan on her bed.

She pulled up a small stool and sat down on the edge of the bed, resting her chin on her hands and quietly looking at the girl in front of her.

No matter how you look at it, it's just so cute.

Just staring at the girl for a while made Qin Suhuai feel that his sword heart had been tempered a lot.

He immediately felt refreshed, and even his cultivation, which had been stuck at a bottleneck, seemed to loosen up a bit.

She was holding her purple sword.

If you compare yourself to a sword, then the girl in front of you is like the sword stone.

They must be a match made in heaven, destined to be together through thick and thin.

The more Qin Suhuai looked at the girl, the happier he became, and the more he wanted to take her directly back to Xiaojian Peak.

Let her hone her sword day and night.

But... that won't work.

Qin Suhuai wouldn't do something like 'forcibly abducting a woman'.

Looking at the girl's dry, pink lips from the alcohol, Qin Suhuai subconsciously licked her lips, as if the intoxicating feeling of "Drunken Immortal Wine" was about to wash over her again.

Nestled in Shi Yan's arms, Shi Jiuzhou curled up nervously.

She wanted to defend her master, but... that woman was so horny.

A swordsman's way is clear and pure, a rare find throughout the ages.

Shi Jiuzhou even felt unsafe hiding here. In that woman's eyes, his sword body and his human body seemed to be indistinguishable.

Qin Suhuai went to ask for a pot of herbal tea to help with hangovers.

Although I know this stuff is completely useless against "Drunken Immortal Brew", it's better than nothing.

Qin Suhuai held Shi Yan close to his chest and then carefully fed her water.

Shi Yan, fast asleep, couldn't drink any tea at all; the tea dripped down his chin and even soaked his collar.

Qin Suhuai hurriedly cleaned up for Shi Yan.

Having never served anyone much since childhood, she was a little flustered at first.

After finally managing to get Shi Yan dressed, Qin Suhuai's face turned rosy.

It felt as if a soft touch still lingered on my fingertips.

She wiped her mouth.

Sweet.

Then she took another sip of the floral tea that the hotel had served.

Yes, it should taste slightly bitter.

"Thirsty..." Qin Suhuai heard the girl in his arms murmur very faintly.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Suhuai's smoky purple eyes showed a shyness she had never felt before.

She took a sip of her floral tea.

clang-

Gently place the teapot on the bedside table.

The clinking of cups and saucers had ceased, leaving not a single sound of water.

"Finished drinking...?"

He gently covered his lips with the back of his right hand, savoring the refreshing, sweet fragrance that wafted between his lips and teeth, which seemed to have a hint of milkiness.

Qin Suhuai then realized what she had done.

Gently setting the girl down during her breakthrough, Qin Suhuai looked at the girl's slightly pink, glistening lips in the sunlight and felt her cheeks burning.

It's hot...

She had never been this close to anyone when she was at the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

Back in the Azure Lotus Sword Sect... she never did anything so frivolous.

She covered her lips and glanced to the side, her sword heart trembling, her ears filled with the rapid, thunderous beating of her own heart.

The choking, slightly burning sensation in her throat seemed to be a reminder to Qin Suhuai.

That was a 'side effect' indirectly caused by drinking "Drunken Immortal Brew".

Including hot and flushed cheeks...

Including the fluctuations in the bottleneck of cultivation realm...

Even that trembling sword heart... was an effect indirectly caused by drinking "Drunken Immortal Brew".

Can--

She looked at the trembling eyelashes of the girl nestled there, who was breaking through her limitations.

The girl nestled in a ray of sunlight, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if she were about to open them at any moment.

Qin Suhuai kept thinking... but it didn't seem to be the case.

Qin Suhuai, who is 'unfathomable' yet enjoys immense popularity, would never understand—

The girl nestled in front of her was a naturally alluring and soft-bodied woman with "nine orifices and exquisite features".

Without a sound.
