After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The girl's heart is aching.

It felt like a needle pricking between my fingers.

She wished she were the one who got hurt.

In the end, Shi Yan could only sit on the edge of the bed, letting the girl kneel in front of him and bandage his right hand.

The girl blinked rapidly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It's fine..."

Teacher Yan gently rubbed the girl's head.

"From now on... no one in the Shi family will dare to bully Xiaxia or make a move on her."

Hearing Shi Yan's words, Xia Xia couldn't help but sob again.

It's all because of me... My sister went to fight that old man because of me.

She raised her head with teary eyes, and the two looked at each other. Shi Yan tried to force a comforting smile on his face.

Then... that smile suddenly froze.

With tears in her eyes, the girl licked the bloodstains like a cat.

Shi Yan suddenly felt a shiver run through his body.

The fierce and menacing aura of war was etched into his palm, seemingly reaching deep into his bones.

Xiaxia's tears flowed uncontrollably; the girl was practically a sobbing mess.

Shi Yan watched as Xia Xia carefully cleaned the bloodstains and then bandaged his wound. His heart swelled with emotion, so much so that his arches unconsciously arched, and his toes curled to touch the ground.

Xiaxia carefully bandaged the wound, then tilted her head up to look at Shiyan.

The girl held her breath, and her eyes seemed to glisten with tears.

Shi Yan looked at his reflection in the girl's eyes.

She saw...where Xiaxia's gaze was focused. On her own cheek, the almost dried handprint from a slap.

"This... I pressed it myself." Shi Yan was so flustered that she didn't even know what she was saying.

She just didn't want the girl to worry any more.

Xiaxia had already stood up, and she knelt between Shi Yan's knees, supporting Shi Yan's shoulders.

"I know--"

How could she not know?

Xiaxia would never mistake her sister's hand for her sister's.

The two of them almost breathed a sigh of relief.

I vaguely realized something...

Shi Yan raised her hand, using the swirling leaves to their fullest potential, and slammed the door shut with a clang.

-

Youzhou.

The low city near the Shadow Demon Sect.

Inside the inn, a woman in a long crimson dress opened her eyes.

I "saw"... Shi Yan reappeared in Nanjun City.

She immediately felt a sense of relief.

My heart, which was about to be crushed, was trembling as it was stitched back together.

but--

That's awesome!

She curled up on the bed, wiping her lips with her right hand, her eyes almost glazed over.

She exuded an aura of fierceness and violence, and was clearly the nemesis of demonic cultivators.

But, it's so great, so great, so great.

So good... I want to be brutally ravaged and crushed by her.

Part 49 Wen Ruya: I didn't do the washing [Second Update]

With his legs bare, Shi Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, contemplating life.

The weather in early spring was still a bit cold, but... for Shi Yan, who had already entered the Qi Refining Realm, it hardly mattered anymore.

No wonder Wen Ruya can wear that thin, transparent gauze dress that is almost completely visible all year round.

Thinking of Wen Ruya, Shi Yan also thought of the silk that had been stolen from her wardrobe, leaving only a single roll.

In the game, Wen Ruya has no habit of stealing.

I wonder which butterfly flapped its wings again.

In Shi Yan's memory, among all the girls she had befriended, only the young lady of the Sikong family, who lived a very long distance away, possessed such a despicable skill and habit as theft.

After all, pretty girls always attract attention, making it much more difficult to steal from them.

If she's not pretty... Shi Yan wouldn't be associated with her.

But... Wen Ruya and that young lady from a family of thieves should have absolutely no connection.

never mind--

I don't want to think about all that nonsense anymore.

Shi Yan continued to fiddle with the character attribute panel in front of him, and... the log that had grown quite long again.

[Name: Shi Yan]

Race: Human

Gender: Female / Celestial Status: Male

【Charm: Graceful and Ethereal】

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Realm, Stage 3, "Hit by a Bottleneck"]

【…】

Looking at the character attribute panel, which was almost unchanged from yesterday except for the length of the log, Shi Yan felt so melancholy that he began to doubt his own life.

What does it mean to suffer a huge loss?

His cultivation level grew wings and flew away.

Shi Yan could sense that the girl quietly curled up beside his thighs was about to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and might even break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in a few days.

As a result... I actually missed out on so much experience.

Can--

What could she do?

He couldn't very well reach out and touch the girl's forehead when she was crying and desperately seeking his comfort, saying, "Xiaxia, be good..."

"Let your sister take her medicine first."

To prevent being ambushed by Wen Ruya, Hua Xiangrong, Xia Xia... or even Yun Yi and Yun Chang, and thus wasting one's cultivation.

Without hesitation, Shi Yan took out a small jade bottle from his ring and swallowed the Qi Gathering Pill.

A breakthrough through seclusion?

Only ordinary people need to go into seclusion to break through their limitations.

A true genius only needs to sit here quietly and question the meaning of life.

Shi Yan looked at the character attribute panel and saw that it had changed to "Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm, Level 4" and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now I'm not afraid of being ambushed.

Just then, Shi Yan suddenly noticed that the bedding beside him had moved.

She turned her head and saw that Xiaxia, who was curled up next to her thighs, had opened her eyes. The girl looked like she had just woken up and was still sleepy, staring blankly at something.

Such white sheets...

Oh no, the bedding is so slippery.

Shi Xia held her breath, afraid that even her breathing would disturb her sister.

"Are you awake?"

Hearing her sister's voice, the girl's pupils dilated. She hunched her shoulders and slowly sat up, the blankets sliding down her smooth shoulders.

"Good morning..." the girl's voice was almost hoarse.

"Good morning." Shi Yan gently pinched the girl's cheek.

Xiaxia's face is soft and tender.

It's not the kind of face that's completely skinny and has no flesh at all; it still has a bit of baby fat.

The feel of kneading and playing with it is simply amazing.

The girl, seemingly still half-asleep, didn't resist, or rather... she didn't know how to resist in front of Shi Yan, only whimpering softly.

"Xia Xia?"

"Thirsty." The girl pursed her chapped lips, swallowed, and said softly.

"Of course I'm thirsty," Shi Yan chuckled helplessly.

She finally released her hands from kneading the girl's face and got out of bed.

Shi Xia stared intently at the pair of dazzlingly white legs swaying in front of her.
