After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Could it be that Sister Shiyan was affected by something in that strange illusion?

No.

I need to give Sister Shiyan a thorough check-up.

However... Shi Yan had no intention of giving the girl a chance at all.

She easily blocked the girl by simply pushing Donghuang Li's forehead.

Looking at the "defying fate" message starting with "[Life...]", Shi Yan still had a bitter face as she slowly pulled open the scroll-like notification bar.

Full of energy and vitality! ? ?

Shi Yan sat up abruptly.

It's so good that it's not "endless life".

Shi Yan even felt a little regretful.

Hey!

You might accidentally miss a 'remarkable' chance to defy fate.

She looked at the description of "full of energy".

Your maximum energy level has been increased.

"Um?"

"Hmm hmm hmm!???"

A bunch of question marks suddenly popped up above Shi Yan's head.

Something's not right, it's getting weird.

If the stamina recovery provided by "Endless Life" is intended to give players more stamina during a prolonged battle...

The "Vigorous and Energetic" skill increases the maximum energy value.

This is so that players can handle the upcoming battles with greater ease and confidence.

It feels like this suits me better now.

Shi Yan's face froze, and the corners of her mouth seemed to twitch along with it.

If it's just a picture of "full of energy," it doesn't seem to deserve that shiny red border.

Shi Yan looked at the introduction for details.

"Because of the effects of [light makeup and a light touch-up], [the evil spirit of the year], and [the incarnation of the White Tiger]."

"The effect of 'Full of Vigor' has been improved."

"You have gained additional energy recovery effect."

"Stamina recovery bonus: 25% (current)".

Shi Yan stared into deep thought as he looked at the few lines of details that were responsible for providing the introduction.

If she could interpret the "Evil God of the Year" and the "White Tiger Incarnation" as the "lively tiger" part of "lively dragon and tiger," then they would have an impact.

So... the connection between "a light touch of makeup and a graceful finish" and this act of defying fate was something Shi Yan couldn't quite understand.

Isn't this giving me Xiaxia's innate good fortune?

What does this have to do with being "full of energy"?

Could it be that this being who defies fate is just there to wear down Xia Xia's energy?

Forget it... Xiaxia's stamina bar is so short, she can't withstand more than a few hits.

Xiaxia's fighting power is probably not even half as good as Aunt Yaya's.

In short, it's a very 'normal' way of defying fate.

Shi Yan even reached out and poked it.

really--

It was the same as the first time and every time after that.

The two "defy fate" options that pop up in the attribute panel at once are not for you to choose from; they are just for you to preview.

The teacher, feeling utterly exhausted, immediately launched into the second act of defying fate.

【Jintang Jade Palace Chaoqun Immortals】.

Ok?

Shi Yan tilted his head.

She still recognized the poem.

Golden halls and jade palaces welcome immortals, clapping hands turn the Eastern Sea into mulberry fields.

The Golden Hall and the Jade Palace are both legendary abodes of immortals.

Especially Jintang.

"Mount Dongting floats on the water, and beneath it are hundreds of golden halls, where jade maidens reside."

The teacher said she understood; she truly understood.

She really came here to pay off her debts.

If you take someone else's "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion", you should naturally return one to them.

As for what else... Shi Yan could almost picture a flower named Xiang Rong wanting to explore her new home, nuzzling the treasure chest and whining, "I want to go home, I want to go home."

Shi Yan's expression suddenly became indescribably heavy.

She pulled up the introduction to "Golden Hall and Jade Palace Paying Homage to the Immortals".

[The elixir has hatched, and the jade palace is complete.]

[Upon entering the Jade Palace Realm, you can absorb a portion of special essences and primordial spirits to enhance your combat power.]

[Currently contained: Shi Jiuzhou (partially).]

Current improvement: 3%.

Ok?

Shi Yan looked at Shi Jiuzhou (partial) and fell into deep thought.

Then... in front of the embarrassed Donghuang Li, Shi Yan pulled Shi Jiuzhou out of his arms.

The jade sword is warm and smooth, and the girl hidden inside it is shy.

Shi Yan looked at the introduction of "Golden Hall and Jade Palace Paying Homage to the Immortals".

Since it's a containment operation... they probably won't take anything from Shi Jiuzhou, right?

Moreover... Shi Jiuzhou already had the experience of escaping from his own body once, so as long as he tells the girl to be careful, nothing should happen.

After discussing it with Shi Jiuzhou, and waiting for Shi Jiuzhou to nervously prepare, Shi Yan chose to take him in.

The jade sword in his hand transformed into dreamlike specks of light and disappeared, then drilled directly into Shi Yan's dantian.

Shi Yan could see... Shi Jiuzhou's figure slowly appearing within his Purple Mansion Jade Palace.

The girl was still wearing that alluring silk dress.

It's like packaging yourself as a gift.

Her fair skin was impossible to conceal.

Shi Jiuzhou strolled cautiously through the Jade Palace of the Purple Mansion. The jade beneath her feet gave her a familiar feeling, like... home.

But the most crucial thing is that every inch of the surrounding air carries the scent of Master Shiyan.

Even the operation of the [Snow Cold Technique], [Departure from Heaven Record], and [Hidden Sword Technique] will have different effects on Shi Jiuzhou.

The girl, with one hand on the wall and her bare feet, slowly moved her feet in the jade palace.

The room was fully equipped with a pill room, a study, a bedroom, and more bedrooms. She even saw a room with exercise equipment.

Eyes wide open.

Shi Jiuzhou couldn't help but mutter a soft "you rascal!"

And Shi Yan... after Shi Jiuzhou stepped into the Purple Mansion Jade Palace, he also had new feelings about his own Purple Mansion Jade Palace and Shi Jiuzhou.

She even felt that she could easily achieve the state of oneness with the sword.

Most importantly... Shi Yan also found out what was going on with that Shi Jiuzhou (partially).

Driven by Shi Yan's will, a snow-white gauze dress emerged from the Jade Palace.

That was the sword spirit energy that Shi Jiuzhou had previously swallowed by Shi Yan.

The girl put on the tulle dress with a joyful expression.

This means she can once again appear openly by Shi Yan's side.

Although... this also means she will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits she used to have.

But... after putting it on.

Shi Jiuzhou discovered another anomaly.

She was unable to control the sword spirit energy that had once belonged to her.

This is probably why she could only slink away from Shiyan's Purple Mansion with nothing.

The sword spirit energy was no longer under her control.

on the contrary--

The teacher's words were just a thought.

The white gauze dress that Shi Jiuzhou was wearing transformed into a beautiful princess dress.

Another thought, and it transforms into an alluring bunny girl outfit.

Her thoughts reversed, and she immediately switched to the bunny girl outfit.

Before Shi Jiuzhou could react and tremble with grief, Shi Yan quickly changed the girl's clothes into a graceful palace dress.
