After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

It's completely different from her playful demeanor in the game or her current cold and aloof appearance.

Just like the sky Shi Yan saw when he traveled to the plateau.

It was so clean and clear that it resembled the clearest lake.

Those readily available clouds resembled giant white beasts leisurely swimming in the water.

It is very distinctive.

In fact, it's even more striking than a girl's slender, shapely legs in real life.

Just kidding... If Shi Hongqi weren't good-looking, and if Shi Yan's ego wasn't activated, would Shi Yan deliberately save his game before meeting any girls, and then repeatedly try to talk to them?

Shi Hongqi's appearance was one of the most beautiful in the entire "Heaven and Earth".

Moreover, don't be fooled by the fact that Shi Hongqi is now dressed in long sleeves and trousers, completely covering herself up.

However, in the game... when the girl is wearing a short skirt like Shi Wei's, which only covers about a third of her thigh.

Shi Yanyuan said that her beautiful, long legs were the best... or at least one of the most attractive.

Even now, Shi Hongqi's eyes would flicker slightly when Shi Yan said she was pretty.

No girl can resist someone telling her she's pretty.

Especially... when such a good-looking person is standing in front of you, speaking with such a serious and certain expression.

Shi Hongqi could sense the seriousness and sincerity of the girl in front of her when she said those words.

The girl's hands almost disappeared into the soft flesh of her thighs, looking lost and confused.

"Logically speaking... Hongqi should be able to live in a better place, right?" Shi Yan looked around.

The spiritual energy here is not abundant enough.

Shi Yan couldn't understand why a girl would live here.

If it were for cultivation purposes, she should have stayed near where Shi Hongjian lived.

Presumably, Shi Hongjian would not refuse.

Shi Hongqi pressed her thigh, her gaze suddenly falling.

Just by looking at the expression on the girl's face, Shi Yan already sensed something was wrong.

It seems I inadvertently stepped on a girl's landmine.

"here it is..."

"The place where my parents used to live."

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the room.

Shi Yan was secretly annoyed with himself for his carelessness.

Why would I forget something like this?

Shi Hongjian had just told him that Shi Hongqi's parents had left very early... He should have been able to guess that.

Actually, we can't blame Shi Yan.

After all, the girl's dark golden eyes had captivated her too much.

These eyes not only symbolize that the girl has died once, triggering the "Phoenix Feather" event, but also represent her bloodline.

She is a true descendant of "Heaven and Earth".

It's not a phoenix that sprang from a sparrow's nest.

Just like the bloodline and fortune of the Taiyi Sect, which are "in harmony with the heavens," there are relatively few people in the "Heaven and Earth" realm who possess a "Phoenix Feather."

Shi Yan hadn't expected that the girl's background would be so... humble.

A deep sense of guilt suddenly welled up inside her.

"I'm sorry..." came a heartfelt apology.

It even seemed quite heavy.

Aside from accidentally touching a girl's forbidden zone, it was mostly... the violence he committed when he was indifferent in the game.

It was completely different from when he was facing Qin Suhuai.

This time... Shi Yan felt that he was deeply guilty.

After all... in the game, although she didn't kill the girl in front of her, she could be said to have completely ruined the girl's future.

Even if it's because the two people have completely different positions.

Even if it was because back then, it was all just a game—

But... that's not the case now.

Once the guilt builds up, it's impossible to erase.

Aside from Xiaxia and the Lord of Loulan, Shi Yan once again... seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of this world.

"..." Shi Hongqi, sitting opposite Shi Yan, pursed her lips.

The girl's natural talent was not particularly outstanding.

Even with the blessing of the Phoenix Feather, and even with all her hard work and dedication... her cultivation level still couldn't match Shi Wei's.

However, if they actually fought, it's uncertain who would win.

Unlike Shi Wei, who is a pampered young lady, Shi Hongqi is truly willing to risk her life at any time.

At this moment, Shi Hongqi looked at Shi Yan in front of her with a very complicated expression.

'She was just apologizing...'

Shi Hongqi could sense Shi Yan's sudden enlightenment and breakthrough.

It's not just a simple breakthrough in cultivation level, but something even more rare and precious... a breakthrough in consciousness and realm.

This huge gap in natural talent made her feel bitter inside.

Besides that... the girl's apology left her somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

After all, the demon in her nightmares would only make her weep endlessly, time and time again, until she was hoarse.

No matter how much you beg for mercy, it will only make that nightmare feel more pleased.

Hands on the strings.

Even if the string is already taut, it won't loosen.

It was as if, to that demon, he was nothing more than a toy in her palm.

Occasionally, there might be a chance to relax and unwind... but that's just to prepare for the impending hell.

Apologize?

That's absolutely impossible.

Shi Hongqi suddenly noticed... the huge difference between the girl in front of her and that terrible nightmare.

The girl had secretly searched for it before.

In the ancient texts of "Heaven and Earth," only the extraterrestrial demons fit this description.

For the demons of the Outer Heavens, the mortal world is merely a playground.

In the eyes of the celestial demons of the Outer Heavens, the cycle of life is nothing more than a predetermined rule.

Who cares about the feelings of someone who owns a toy that's just lying around everywhere?

Who cares about the life or death of the ants underfoot?

Perhaps I am just a toy of that demon.

Shi Hongqi was unwilling to accept it, but she had no way to fight back.

Can only escape.

Since entering the Golden Core Realm... she has almost never closed her eyes or relaxed her body to take a nap.

I did not disturb the teacher's speech.

They waited until Shi Yan emerged from that state of enlightenment, his beautiful eyes like the clear night sky.

Shi Hongqi slowly spoke, "There's no need for an apology."

In the realm of "Heaven and Earth," that is something everyone knows.

It's something that anyone can use to mock themselves behind their backs.

The two men looked at each other in bewilderment.

The atmosphere gradually became more intimate and alluring.

Shi Yan didn't care. With a beautiful younger sister in front of her, she could look at her all day without getting tired of it.

But... Shi Hongqi couldn't do it.

Shi Yan met her gaze openly, and...without restraint.

It was practically a deliberation.

I felt as if I had no secrets from her, completely naked.

She was wearing a long shirt and trousers, yet... she seemed to know exactly where her body lines were.

Shi Hongqi couldn't sit still any longer.

Shi Yan could shamelessly sized up girls like that, but Shi Hongqi, who had absolutely no social life outside of cultivation, couldn't do that.

She suddenly felt that Shi Yan's figure completely overlapped with the nightmare in her dream.

The girl got up in a near panic.

"I'll go make your bed."

"rest assured..."

"I haven't slept."

"It's okay even if Sister Hongqi has already slept with me~" Shi Yan didn't care at all, or rather... that would be even better.
