After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

They were completely crushed by the opponent.

If the other party is a beautiful red spider lily, then I am just a weed on the side.

Or rather, the kind that's about to be ripped off completely.

Did Shi Yan not come to the tavern to buy me a drink at all, but to flirt with this woman?

"Too..."

Ming Zhongqing suddenly felt a little downcast.

What am I to Master Yan?

Who is the one you're arguing with?

Enemies who constantly mock and ridicule each other?

Perhaps... fellow townsmen are already the limit.

Holding the cup of warm milk, Ming Zhongqing, like a heartbroken young girl, gulped it all down in one go.

Then... a loud thud—

The girl collapsed onto the counter.

Shi Yan silently put down the cup in his hand.

She glanced at the tavern owner, her eyes practically screaming, 'You woman, you've been mixing milk into your drinks again... no, you've mixed wine into your milk, haven't you?'

"That's none of my business."

The tavern owner seemed to be trying to prove herself.

She reached out and took the cup that Shi Yan had just put down.

Their fingertips brushed against each other.

The woman tilted her head back and took a sip. She looked at Shi Yan, shrugged slightly, and slowly put the cup down.

Shi Yan gently nudged Ming Zhongqing's cheek.

"Ah ha..." A little bit of babyish breath escaped from Ming Zhongqing's mouth.

A warm touch landed on the back of Shi Yan's hand.

Ming Zhongqing, almost as if drunk, gently took Shi Yan's outstretched hand.

The girl's face was painted with a delicate pinkish hue.

Shi Yan simply looked at the tavern owner.

She gently took out a handkerchief and wiped Ming Zhongqing's mouth, which still had milk stains, then helped the girl into a slightly more comfortable position.

The tavern owner even thoughtfully brought over a hand pillow.

certainly--

Shi Yan would be even happier if there wasn't a chibi portrait of him on the armrest.

The teacher, in a bad mood, confiscated it directly.

Without a doubt, this was another masterpiece by her 'cousin'.

Shi Yan gave Ming Zhongqing a small pillow to use as a pillow.

The tavern owner didn't seem to care at all.

She simply watched Shi Yan's movements with a smile, as if admiring something perfect.

Compared to the true master, what is a mere hand pillow?

Besides... she still has a lot of those things.

Many, many, many.

While watching Shi Yan's actions, she gently explained to him, "This is Kui's milk."

A seemingly casual remark almost delivered a devastating blow to Shi Yan at the start of the event.

Even the movements of his hands froze for a moment.

The game also features the Kui, a mythical beast that's relatively easy to defeat.

They can only be encountered occasionally in the wilderness north of Bingzhou. They have high attack and defense capabilities and are very fast.

The reason it's easy to fight is that Kui's attack pattern is very simple.

In the first phase, they will only charge around recklessly.

Although it's very fast, as long as you pay attention to dodging, you can easily enter the second stage.

The second phase... is when the other side continuously triggers earthquakes.

When Kui triggers an earthquake, unless there is a special way to stay airborne, any flying magic or movement technique will be directly shaken down and suffer massive damage.

But... the way to avoid it is simple: just jump up before the shockwave hits.

Once you die a few times and master the mechanics, you can easily hunt down the Kui.

certainly--

In the game, Shi Yan, powered by the cheat code, didn't bother with any fancy tricks with this mythical beast; he went straight for the kill.

Anyway, I'm invincible, do whatever you want.

However... even with the help of a cheat code, Shi Yan never considered milking Kui.

She looked at the tavern owner, whose eyes seemed to be twitching.

The tavern owner didn't care at all.

"She is severely deficient in yin."

"Insufficient Yin fluids cannot control Yang."

"No...it should be said that the yin fluid has dried up."

Shi Yan simply listened, her eyes fixed on Ming Zhongqing beside her.

"Deficiency of Qi and Yin".

"His cultivation level isn't that great." No matter how unstable his foundation is, Ming Zhongqing is now a proper early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

But... in the tavern owner's words, it was just 'not so great'.

Even, it was only because of Shi Yan's reputation.

Considering that Shi Yan is only at the "Ninth Level of Jade Palace Realm", otherwise who knows what words would have come out of her mouth.

"She couldn't withstand the strength of the milk, so that's how it is."

"Will things get better afterward?" Shi Yan asked, looking at Ming Zhongqing's profile.

From this angle, the girls shone brightly under the light directly above them.

Shi Yan recalled Ming Zhongqing's fiery hair in "The Tomb of Loulan," a completely beautiful sight as if he were wearing fire as his hair.

It still looks beautiful.

"It will be a little better." The tavern owner rested her chin on her hands.

Shi Yan looked at Ming Zhongqing.

She looked at Shi Yan.

His gaze was gentle and tender.

"But it's not a long-term solution after all."

"Then... is there any way?" Shi Yan looked back.

The tavern owner stared straight at him, her allure as captivating as a fairy.

"Don't you know?" She lowered her hand and gently grasped Shi Yan's hand on the back.

"How would I know..." Shi Yan tried to pull her hand away.

But...now that we've decided to face the challenge head-on, how can we easily back down?

Shi Yan steeled himself and grabbed the woman's hand in return.

"The most nourishing techniques in the world are all in your hands... How could you not know?" The tavern owner smiled radiantly.

Suddenly, Shi Yan understood.

The air seemed to suddenly fall silent.

The two looked at each other, as if they were flirting, or as if they were competing.

Beside her, Jingse Mandala, who had been slowly sipping her milk and finally finished, slammed the cup down on the table.

Then he took the glass that the tavern owner had taken a sip from, and continued to gulp it down.

They have considerable experience with pure-colored mandalas.

Who knows what other tricks this woman might come up with to make Shi Yan drink the half-cup she already drank?

She decided to strike first.

The atmosphere between Shi Yan and the tavern owner immediately shifted from sweet and charming to awkward.

The tavern owner slowly sat back down.

She crossed her legs, and the high slit of her cheongsam skirt slowly drooped down, revealing her fair and slender thighs.

"Tell me... why did you come to see me this time..."

"What is it now?"

The tavern owner looked pitiful.

It was as if Shi Yan had treated her coldly, and she was just a tool that could be used when needed.

After using it, I just tossed it aside.

She was left to clean up the mess all by herself.

He wished he could shoot a scabbard-covered arrow directly at Shi Yan.
