After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"Would you like to talk in my room?"

"This place... doesn't seem very convenient."

For the second time, she opened her eyes to look at Shi Yan.

Pitch black... like eyes without focus.

Although she lacked some of her former charm, she appeared even more delicate and timid, making one want to deliberately bully her.

"Uh..." Looking into those eyes, Shi Yan couldn't bring herself to refuse.

“Of course—” Shen Qianqian added, “If it’s in Shi Yan’s room… that’s fine too.”

She wrinkled her nose, inhaling the lingering fragrance of Ruan Yiyi in the air, "If that little girl doesn't mind."

Shi Yan was really in a bad mood.

This woman is actually a monster!

209. Even at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, you still can't fall? How about the Creation Body? [3K words per chapter]

Does having high cultivation level mean you can do whatever you want?

It's just a mere 'Nascent Soul Realm'...

Sitting somewhat awkwardly in the opposite guest room, Shi Yan had to admit that high cultivation levels did indeed allow one to do as one pleased.

The smiling woman pouring tea in front of me... what exactly is she up to?

Even the guest rooms were 'right' right across from me.

Shen Qianqian pushed a cup of tea in front of Shi Yan.

Shi Yan stared into deep thought as he looked at the cool, orange-colored tea in front of him.

This color looks a bit off; it even seems a bit pink.

As if she could see through Shi Yan's thoughts, Shen Qianqian rested her chin on her hands, her eyes closed, but she seemed to be looking at Shi Yan very seriously.

"It's not poisonous~~~"

The teacher said that he had just picked up the cup halfway when it suddenly got stuck.

"You're making me even more worried!"

Then, just as Shi Yan was preparing to pull out the jade ring and run away at any moment, he took a deep breath and prepared to raise the cup again.

"There's nothing like 'I love a piece of firewood' or anything like that either~~~"

Shi Yan's smile was stiff.

This woman did it on purpose... she definitely did it on purpose.

She looked around the woman's room.

Since it's a hotel room, there's basically nothing to observe.

However, there are some small ornaments on the bedside table that are noticeably different from the surrounding items, which are still worth observing.

Most of them are wooden mechanical beasts.

It perfectly matches the style of her 'Thousand Machines Sect' elder.

But Shi Yan always felt that something was not quite right.

Shi Yan took a small sip of tea.

It's probably something like fruit tea, which suits Shi Yan's taste buds better than regular green tea.

Slightly astringent, with a sweet aftertaste.

Shi Yan held Feng Manlou nervously in her arms.

Shen Qianqian noticed Shi Yan's gaze.

She reached out and gently touched the tail of the mechanical beast beside her.

It was a short-legged dragon.

Although Shi Yan thought that thing looked more like a crocodile.

"Are you curious about these things, Sister Shiyan?" As Shen Qianqian touched it, the mechanical beast seemed to come to life, swaying its short legs as it moved on the table.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy; it was probably purely mechanical.

In this world teeming with cultivators, such skills can only be described as frivolous and ingenious.

"This child's name is Xiaxia~"

dong dong——

The teacher's words stopped abruptly.

She suddenly stood up.

Shen Qianqian pressed down on the mechanical beast's tail. "Sister Shiyan?"

Her voice was soft and unhurried.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Shi Yan looked down at the woman; she knew far too much.

But there's nothing I can do about her.

Not necessarily.

Yunyi...may be able to resolve the situation.

Regardless, anyone who tries to touch Xiaxia will be severely punished. "And... who exactly are you?"

"Didn't I already say that?" Shen Qianqian stopped the mechanical beast. "I am Shen Qianqian."

"An elder of the Thousand Machines Sect—"

She gestured for Shi Yan to sit down, "An~"

"I meant no harm."

Shi Yan slowly sat down, holding Feng Manlou in her arms.

Indeed, just as she said, from the very first moment this woman appeared in her sight, she did not feel the slightest bit of malice.

It's just... it's been making me very uncomfortable.

It always teeters on the edge of that line in my heart, repeatedly teetering on the brink of being suppressed and educated by myself.

one time--

Shi Yan also wondered if this woman was someone he had previously shown the most favor to.

But... Shen Qianqian has never appeared in my memory.

For a fleeting moment, Shi Yan wondered if the woman in front of him might be someone else entirely—

The woman from the outer sect of Guigu who had calculated all the secrets of heaven.

Yunmeng Machine.

But it doesn't quite look like it.

Yun Mengji's heart was much broader than that of the woman in front of him.

Shi Yan's biggest impression of Yun Mengji was the woman's heart, which was as smooth and elastic as silk.

It's really like it has a hidden spring inside; it vibrates when you shake it gently.

Shi Yan grabbed the mechanical beast on the table.

Moreover... this kind of thing really doesn't seem to be from the outer sect of Guigu.

Furthermore... if it really were the Cloud Dream Machine, why would it be wasting its time here, going around in circles with itself?

Relying on her Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivation, she simply mounted the horse.

I don't even have the desire to resist.

"What exactly do you want?" Shi Yan picked up the mechanical beast from the table and examined it.

You can't see any gear mechanism, but it's very flexible.

Shi Yan unconsciously teased Feng Manlou in his arms with the mechanical beast's tail.

The wind whistled through the tower, grinding its teeth.

I'm not some real kitten, it's really too much to tease myself with something like this!

It's completely bare, not hairy at all.

but--

Feng Manlou, still looking utterly hopeless, cooperated with Shi Yan, his four short legs curled up, flailing against the mechanical beast's tail again and again.

Shen Qianqian looked at Shi Yan in front of her.

She really wanted to answer... what else could she do? Of course, it was... you...

Picking up the cup on the table, Shen Qianqian changed the subject, "Do you know about the plans of the Cangyun Sect, the Henyin Demon Sect, and the Tongyou Valley?"

Shi Yan's eye twitched violently.

"That's my cup!!!"

"My cup!"

However, Shen Qianqian's actions at least proved that there was nothing strange in the tea.

That's a good thing... just kidding!

However, being subordinate to others, Shi Yan could only endure it for the time being.

She realized that this woman definitely had ulterior motives towards her. However, it was much better for her to have ulterior motives than towards Xiaxia.

I can still handle it.

"I don't know." Shi Yan slumped her shoulders in annoyance.

Shen Qianqian sipped her tea slowly and deliberately, speaking gradually...
