After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Xing Qiyun's biggest weakness is not Xing Qiyan, nor Xing Ke who has the [Ziwei Star Enclosure], nor her mother, but... her weakest younger sister.

Xingjiu stared longingly at her eldest sister, "The formation of Jizhou City..."

"I improved it."

"I'll go as well."

puff-

A crisp splash of water.

As both the 'victim' and the culprit behind the departure of Master Hongjian, Shi Yan was directly suppressed into the water by the aura of that Dao Enlightenment Realm cultivator.

She was almost caught off guard.

The reason Shi Hongjian couldn't attack Shi Yan before was because of certain reflexes Shi Hongjian had towards Shi Yan in the game.

In addition... a certain unscrupulous businessman, who was also the head of propaganda for the largest Shiyan sect in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, once told her.

Whether "Heaven and Earth" bring about revival or decline and fall, it all rests on Shi Yan's shoulders.

That's why she was completely unable to lay a hand on Shi Yan.

In the parlance of some card games, "Shi Yan cannot be attacked by Shi Hongjian, nor can he be affected by Shi Hongjian's effects."

But... this is on the premise that Shi Hongjian wants to target Shi Yan.

That's why Shi Hongjian felt uneasy and uncomfortable all over when she was in Qingke Garden.

The girl kept teasing him, making him want to pull out the knife.

But... he managed to push it back down again.

A strange feeling kept spreading through my heart—a sense of oppression, unease, and frustration... but just then...

But I can't get up there.

The anger couldn't be released.

The feeling of being tossed around between highs and lows made Shi Hongjian feel that her state of mind, which was in a state of enlightenment, was about to be thrown into chaos.

And the current situation...

It's like the anger level spiked to its limit, and the message changed to a large "MAX".

Shi Hongjian's imposing aura transformed into a complete and indiscriminate suppression—

A noble person does not choose a partner.

In this situation, Shi Yan's influence on Shi Hongjian is no longer effective.

Shi Hongjian's anger, which had been provoked by Shi Yan all day, finally erupted at this moment. The cat's paw that had been pawing at her heart but not letting her touch it was finally firmly held down by her.

Simply put... Shi Yan finally went too far.

Even the main teacher didn't expect that.

She followed the location of Shi Hongjian shown on the minimap to get there.

But how could Shi Yan have imagined... that this guy would actually send someone to wait for him at the entrance of "Huangtian Houtu" so that he could go find her after he returned?

They can also leisurely bathe in their private stream.

"That's strange..."

Shi Yan always felt that something was not quite right about this matter.

"Does one really need to take a special shower before meeting oneself?"

This is really strange.

The more you think about it, the stranger it seems.

and--

Shi Yan had not expected that Shi Hongjian would have such leisure time.

He diverted a clear stream into his bamboo grove.

It was quite enjoyable.

In short... it was a series of coincidences or fates.

When Shi Yan transformed into the wind and passed through the fence, he sensed something was wrong when he saw the shimmering water under the moonlight.

But... it's too late.

Although one could use Yunshang's jade ring to escape thousands of miles away in an instant.

However... Shi Yan felt that the situation hadn't gotten that bad yet.

She was simply not used to the "no-fly" rule, and coupled with Shi Hongjian's sudden "sneak attack," she was a little overwhelmed.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle—"

A series of bubbles rose and churned on the clear water.

You can see the girl's hands reaching upwards haphazardly from below the water's surface.

This stream was deeper and colder than Shi Yan had imagined... and heavier than he had imagined.

How could the clear stream used by cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm to cultivate themselves be ordinary stream water?

Perhaps it can't compare to the vast ocean of water.

But it is definitely a cold stream that ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

The biting cold penetrated straight into the flesh and bones.

Shi Yan even felt that his fingers were about to freeze off.

certainly--

That's just an exaggeration.

In any case, Shi Yan was the kind of ruthless person who used an entire "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion"-sized boulder to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and even got a sword spirit along with him.

His physical abilities are among the best of all cultivators of the same level.

She's just not used to it yet.

But... Shi Hongjian didn't know that.

All she knew was that the spiritual energy of her Cold Stream was so potent that even a Nascent Soul cultivator with a weak constitution might drown in it.

Shi Hongjian could even take some water from the source to the tavern and exchange it with that unscrupulous merchant for a small sip of wine.

Although... her heart was filled with all sorts of indescribable emotions towards Shi Yan.

Sometimes I really wish I could just pull out a knife and chop her up.

But... when it seemed like Shi Yan was really going to get into trouble in front of her, Shi Hongjian couldn't sit still anymore.

Shi Hongjian is known for being fiercely protective of her own.

Even if this bastard is full of bad intentions and always thinking about how to cause her trouble.

But she also had to protect him first.

Without much thought, Shi Hongjian reached out and parted the stream water.

The clear stream water is like a whole, broken ribbon of silk.

Shi Yan stood soaking wet in the stream. The water churned, and she instinctively lunged forward, then... grabbed Shi Hongjian's shoulder.

My hands are so cold.

It's so cold that once it's hooked up, it seems impossible to let go.

The woman's fair and rounded shoulders were marked with faint red marks from Shi Yan's grip. Shi Hongjian frowned, but said nothing, simply holding Shi Yan in her arms.

Shi Yan rested his chin on Shi Hongjian's shoulder.

Shi Hongjian gently picked up Shi Yan.

Shi Yan had hugged so many people, but she had rarely been hugged like this before.

The last time I was picked up like this... it seems like it was after Mo Shu got me drunk, when I met Qin Suhuai in Nanjun City.

Shi Yan shrank his neck.

Holding Shi Yan in her arms, Shi Hongjian's eyes didn't seem as calm as one might expect.

However... she still maintained an air of aloofness.

It seems that no matter what happens, it's like throwing a stone into a deep lake for her.

It can cause a stir, but that's about it.

When Shi Hongjian picked up Shi Yan, she didn't seem forceful, but... nothing romantic or special seemed to happen either; everything was quite ordinary.

Even though... after giving the short jacket to Shi Wei, Shi Yan was also dressed very lightly.

Soaked in the pool water, it clung to her body perfectly.

Master said there were no fire-attribute cultivation techniques.

Carried by Shi Hongjian, Shi Yan walked towards the bamboo house on the side. He could only repeatedly use the "Snow Cold Technique" to condense the cold air and then exhale it.

Small puffs of mist escaped from his mouth.

Fine white frost had formed on Shi Hongjian's earlobes and the strands of hair beside them, but she still looked as if nothing had happened.

Although... Shi Hongjian is actually having a hard time suppressing her sword's edge.

Strictly speaking, she is the victim.

The woman's anger had long since reached its maximum.

Shi Yan took a difficult breath, as if his whole body was tense.

As the "Snow Cold Technique" gradually expelled the cold air, Shi Yan was able to feel Shi Hongjian's embrace.
