After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

This covered bridge is one of the important dividing lines between the "Star Family" and the "Heaven and Earth" forces.

It is also one of the main routes from outside Jizhou City back to the main family of "Xingtiansi".

Shi Yan had sensed a strong aura of killing intent in this direction, and she felt that something was about to happen, so she brought Shi Wei here.

But before that...

Standing behind the stone railing, Shi Yan watched the huge painted boat slowly sailing towards the covered bridge on the city river.

On the pleasure boats, birds sang and danced, and the young women of Yinghua City were dressed in their finest attire, yet they did not appear vulgar.

In fact, the so-called "flower maiden" is a girl whose "fate" Yunyi has observed and felt has a promising future.

After being harvested and cultivated, they can serve as fragrant powder maidens, guarding the Yinghua Market in various places.

The music suddenly stopped when the pleasure boat approached the covered bridge.

The lights were dim.

The iconic pink lanterns of Yinghua City hang on the painted boats, like jade pendants hanging upside down.

The girls raised their sleeves to half-conceal their faces, their delicate eyebrows lightly drawn, and their rouge lightly applied.

The phoenix hairpin was exquisitely beautiful.

Originally... it was a rather poetic and somewhat alluring scene.

result--

Among a large group of pretty girls, two little girls stood out.

Two beautiful girls who look exactly alike.

One of the girls skipped and waved towards the bridge, her cherry-pink eyes filled with joy.

From afar... Shi Wei couldn't quite hear what the girl was shouting.

However... it always seems like he's greeting the girl next to him.

The other little girl was much more well-behaved.

Holding a cat with a 'let me die' expression on its face, I looked timidly at the bridge.

Shi Yan waved helplessly at the two little girls.

It seems that Yunyi and Yunshang already know that they have come to Jizhou.

It's not surprising that the teacher said that.

After all, Yunshang's jade ring was still on her body.

Girls are no exception; they know where they are.

But... Shi Yan looked at Feng Manlou in Ruo Chuqing's arms. Because of shyness, the girl shyly picked up the cat and buried half of her face behind Feng Manlou, only revealing a pair of cherry pink eyes.

It's because Yunshang is too lazy.

So that's why they went to the Shi family and 'rented' Xiaofeng out of the whole building again.

The master had heard Yunyi mention it.

Feng Manlou became a teacher for two young girls, and they paid him a considerable salary.

However... due to the special relationship between Feng Manlou and Shi Yan.

So Yunyi simply saved all those wages for Feng Manlou.

It's just a matter of handing it over to Shi Yan.

Only after the pleasure boat had sailed away did Shi Wei gently tug at Shi Yan's sleeve, "Sister Shi Yan..."

Do you know those two girls?

"Although Yinghua City is much better than Jiaofangsi... it's still not a place for girls."

The teacher simply responded softly.

There was no need for her to explain Hua Xiangrong's affairs and Yinghua City's affairs so clearly to Shi Wei.

Just then...

【Ta-ta ...

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from the other side of the covered bridge.

The covered bridge, which had been bustling with activity watching the pleasure boats of Yinghua City, suddenly became quiet.

【Clang clang clang—】

Besides the uniform sound of horses' hooves, you could also hear the clanging of armor accompanying the march.

Shi Yan roughly understood where the murderous aura he had sensed earlier came from.

I have a slight guess as to who the person who came is.

"Oh no..." Shi Wei's expression suddenly turned somewhat grim. "I completely forgot..."

"Today is the day Xing Qiyun returns."

"Xingqi...Yun..." Shi Yan murmured softly.

Just by hearing her name, you can tell she's Xingke's older sister.

Xing Qiyun is the eldest sister in the Xing family.

She is also the only one among the five Xing sisters who did not reach the maximum level of favorability with Shi Yan.

Originally, I wanted to see how Xing Qiyun would treat me after I had maxed out the favorability ratings of all four girls.

But who would have thought... that things would go awry by accident.

The master was so frightened that he fled in panic.

Naturally, Xing Qiyun was neglected, and no favorability was restored.

However... due to the game's unique mechanics.

Xing Qiyun's affection for Shi Yan is definitely high, not low.

Even if it's not a full nine hearts of "Unwavering devotion"... it's at least a six or seven heart of "Deep affection" or similar level of favorability.

Shi Yan still had some impression of Xing Qiyun.

Before Xing Ke truly took charge of the Star Celestial Bureau, it was managed by Xing Qiyun on his behalf.

This also shaped Xing Qiyun's rather unique personality.

Although the girl appears tough and resilient, like a strong rose, she is actually incredibly soft-hearted inside.

According to a fifth young lady from the Xing family who wished to remain anonymous.

When Shi Yan ran away from Xing Tian Si, it was his eldest sister, who hadn't met him much, who cried the most.

She still hides in her room, crying under the covers.

If Xingke hadn't seen her older sister airing out the blankets and pillows, and knew that her older sister wouldn't do something so shameful that only a child would do, she would have been fine.

She really didn't know that her older sister could cry so much.

The bedding, sheets, and pillows were all soaked.

Shi Yan gazed across the covered bridge.

A troop of heavily armored soldiers and cavalry is marching toward the covered bridge.

Leading the group was a girl who stood out almost entirely among the Black Armored Cavalry.

The girl's face has a similar elegant profile to Hoshiki Ken, but she looks a bit colder.

The heavily armored infantry and cavalry, who had been moving in perfect unison, broke their uniform formation after stepping onto the covered bridge, but still exuded a solemn and awe-inspiring aura.

Shi Wei explained to Shi Yan, "They are the Star Guards of the Starry Sky Division."

“They are different from ordinary star officials.”

"They are almost as lethal to the enemies of humanity as they are to the Purgatory."

Shi Wei suddenly thought of something.

Perhaps... only Xing Qiyun can truly help Shiyan get rid of the Heavenly Demon.

But she didn't say it.

"I completely forgot... today is the day Xing Qiyun is returning to the city."

"She must have just returned from exterminating the demons."

[Ta-ta-ta-ta—] A girl riding a winged horse clad in iron armor ascended the covered bridge.

Among so many people... she spotted the girl in the crimson dress at a glance.

"Ayan..." She gently patted the neck of the warhorse beneath her. "Stop."

Part 346 "Are your wives the same person?" [First update, 4K words]

Even without deliberately strengthening it.

Cultivators generally have good senses.

Because of the blessing of innate talent such as "seven orifices exquisite", Master Yan is an outstanding one among them.

Her hearing was even more acute than Bai Xiaoxiao's.

So sometimes... when Shi Yan is teaching Xia Xia her lessons and helping her comprehend the Dao, is the fox spirit in the side room eavesdropping or making some underhanded moves?

Everything the teacher said was crystal clear.

It's just... out of some kind of perverse sense of humor, and because I didn't want to interfere with the girl's studies.

So Shi Yan just didn't tell Xia Xia about it.

"Ah... Yan?" Shi Yan murmured softly.

She looked at the girl who was wearing heavy black armor and riding on the back of a celestial horse.

Well... the fact that the girl's pegasus is named Ayan is rather strange.
