After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

She's got a really big, thick leg; it's always a good idea to cling to her.

Yunmeng Ming simply scrutinized Shi Yan carefully.

This woman... besides being a little prettier and having a little better figure, what is it about her that makes her so appealing to older women?

"hateful..."

If it were someone else, defying fate... she might have simply wiped it out.

But the person in front of me is different.

Even if she disliked her terribly, she was still someone her sister had entrusted her to take care of.

In trivial matters, Yunmengming constantly opposes Yunmengji.

But... in matters involving such crucial people and events, Yunmengming would only indulge and obey Yunmengji.

Including this appearance.

Yun Mengming has maintained the appearance she had when Yun Mengji saw her for the last time before he went blind, all for Yun Mengji's sake.

But she never expected this.

Yun Mengji looked at Shi Yan's graceful figure and then compared it to her own barren heart.

"hateful!!!"

Yun Mengming did not return Shi Yan's greeting, but instead looked at her coldly and with hostility.

Shi Yan sensed the girl's hostility.

She forced a smile. "Thank you, Lord Fate, for saving me."

"Don't thank me too soon," the little girl replied, sounding rather haughty to Shi Yan.

"I can only postpone your tribulation."

"Postpone?" Shi Yan hesitated.

"Yes, it's postponed." Yun Mengming looked up at the sky. "Until you advance from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Tribulation Transcending Realm and face the Heavenly Tribulation—"

Or perhaps...

"It's because you failed to break through to a higher realm, and now you want to 'defy fate and change your destiny,' facing the heavenly tribulation..."

Before Yunmengming could finish speaking, she seemed to see something golden and dazzling in her eyes.

Moreover, there are many, many more things that are as dazzling as that.

"【The Daoist Heart Never Dies】..."

"I see, there's no way you could fail to break through."

"In short—" Yun Mengming explained, "When you encounter a heavenly tribulation next time, all the heavenly tribulations you've accumulated before will be repaid in full."

"That is a calamity that even cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm... no, cultivators at the Ascension Realm might almost certainly die."

A smile appeared on Yun Mengming's lips as she looked at Shi Yan, "Before that..."

"Tens of millions—"

"Don't use up [Phoenix Feather]!"

Shi Yan felt something was off about what the girl was saying, as if... she had taken the initiative to plant a flag for him.

Without waiting for a reply, Yun Mengming turned around and disappeared from the spot.

Only after Yunmengming disappeared did Shi Jiuzhou finally arrive.

Shi Yan grasped Shi Jiuzhou's hand and flew back to the Love Sea Demon Sect on his sword.

This time, there was no heavenly tribulation to clear the way, nor was it a life-or-death emergency, so Shi Yan simply leisurely made his way back.

During this time, she also had to be careful to avoid the fleeing cultivators from the Hate Drinking Demon Sect, Tongyou Valley, and Cangyun Sect.

By the time Shi Yan returned to the Love Sea Demon Sect, it was already evening.

Inside the Demon Sect of Love, Wen Ruya and the others were waiting for him.

Wen Ruya took Shi Yan's arm and looked him up and down. When she found that Shi Yan was really alright, she burst into tears of joy and threw herself into Shi Yan's arms.

Even the little girl Ba rushed up and hugged Shi Yan's leg.

Only Feng Manlou, being a cat, could only meow softly in Wen Wan's arms.

Shi Yan hugged Wen Ruya and gently stroked her back to comfort her, looking at Wen Wan with a hint of helplessness.

Then--

She discovered...

Now one person is missing.

Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat. Hesitantly, she asked, her voice trembling, "Where's the Cloud Dream Machine...?"

"She's fine." Hearing Shi Yan holding her and asking about the others' conditions, Wen Ruya felt somewhat annoyed.

But... Wen Ruya is understandable.

After all, that situation had already occurred.

Yun Mengji looked as if he were truly dying, giving his last words and making arrangements for his funeral...

Once the lifespan limit is reduced and locked, there's almost no medicine that can save the patient.

It's understandable that Wen Ruya is worried about her teacher.

"She was taken back by her sister... who is also the Heavenly Mandate Master of the Ghost Valley Inner Sect."

The teacher was taken aback.

ha!??

Although that girl looked quite young.

But... judging from her cultivation level, it's far superior to Yun Mengji's.

Shi Yan still thought that was his future wife's older sister.

Looking at it now... turns out she's my sister-in-law?

"By the way... Shi Lang," Wen Ruya said, taking Shi Yan's arm, "what happened to you when you went out?"

"We saw the calamity clouds suddenly seem to be torn apart and disperse directly."

Shi Yan and Wen Ruya explained to each other about their encounter with the Yunmeng destiny.

However... Shi Yan's words were abruptly cut short.

She saw... two familiar yet unfamiliar people approaching on a round fan.

A beautiful woman who looked voluptuous and alluring, carrying the kind of scent that would haunt Shi Yan's dreams.

The memories in my mind poured out like a torrent.

"Ayan~~~"

“My dearest Ayan is the cutest.”

"Ayan, you must protect your little sister."

"We can't just treat Xiaxia like a pet—"

"You can't bully Xiaxia..."

“That’s Ayan’s sister. Ayan should protect Xiaxia as if she were protecting herself.”

“Ayan…”

"Mother, I'm so sorry..."

"Mother...may have to leave Ayan for a while...just a little while..."

Since then, Shi Yan has never seen a woman again.

There was also a handsome young man standing in front of the woman, with...feminine features.

Ok.

She's the type who, if you forcefully stuff a skirt under her clothes and throw her into the Saintess Election, would be almost unrecognizable, and might even achieve a decent ranking.

If Wen Rumu heard Shi Yan's thoughts, she would probably exclaim that she was an expert and truly deserved to be called her own daughter.

It's exactly what I expected!

Shi Yan roughly understood why Shi Minmo, whom Shi Minzhou also called a "fool," had inexplicably captured the heart of Wen Rumu, the most beautiful woman in Youzhou at the time.

Perhaps Wen Rumu thought that Shi Yan's father was a girl who had changed her hairpin and hat.

After going to great lengths to get close to him... I discovered that he was actually a handsome young man.

However, at this point, Wen Rumu was probably already in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Then--

That's how the teacher's words came about.

Then everything happened.

"My dear mother—" Releasing Wen Ruya, Shi Yan bowed to Wen Rumu.

Wen Ruya's heart trembled as she looked at Wen Rumu. Seeing her senior sister through the magic barrier and seeing her with her own eyes were two completely different things.

Then... Shi Yan looked at Shi Minmo, who had a boyish appearance but a girlish face.

With some difficulty... "Mother..."

Wen Rumu almost burst out laughing on the spot, and Shi Minmo's face turned pale.

"Father—"

The hosta flowers along the edge of the woods bloomed tall and proud, their fragrance filling the air, as if proclaiming that summer had already passed.

Holding the little girl Ba's hand, Shi Yan left the Love Sea Demon Sect.
