After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Only for myself.

She thinks all the girls around her look good no matter what they wear.

For example, Shi Yan really likes Jun Qianrou's ice silk over-the-knee stockings and high heels, Xia Xia's white stockings, Aunt Ya Ya's garter stockings, and A Ya's black stockings.

Thanks to Loulan, for bringing good news to the world.

Shi Yan pressed down on her skirt, looking down at her fair legs and the hem of her dark short skirt that she was gently pressing down with her hand.

All I can say is... if you run, the scenery will probably be quite beautiful.

Especially... she raised her hand as if she were making eye contact with someone.

I felt like the celestial demon in the outer heavens was about to drool, and the sky was gloomy, as if it was about to rain.

Looking at her own back through the eyes of the Womb Mandala, with her fair legs moving, Shi Yan suddenly felt that she couldn't really blame the little Womb Mandala.

It's okay~

The "Heaven and Earth" are quiet now, and it seems that everyone is concentrated in the martial arts training area.

This is probably why Shi Hongqi was nervous.

If I'm not mistaken, it's probably related to the "Enlightenment Conference".

At times like this, Shi Yan doesn't need to worry about accidentally exposing herself and being seen by some pervert.

Except for... Shi Hongjian.

The entire "Heaven and Earth" were under Shi Hongjian's surveillance.

It's roughly equivalent to a miniature version of the Heavenly Demon's perspective. Unless a barrier is erected like last night, that woman will definitely be able to see it.

Shi Yan gently took Shi Hongqi's small hand.

The girl's small hands were soft and warm, with a slight warmth and moisture permeating her palms. Shi Hongqi seemed to be the kind of girl who was like solidified water, much like Jun Qianrou.

He was drenched in sweat, and the bedding would often be soaked through.

"Shi...Yan...?" Although flustered, Shi Hongqi slowed down and turned to look at Shi Yan.

Despite the warmth emanating from her body, the girl's face still held a hint of coldness.

When their eyes met, a hint of instinctive fear and...obedience would still flash in their eyes.

That's right.

Hidden behind fear and hatred is inevitably an almost instinctive retreat and obedience.

"Slow down~" Shi Yan said helplessly.

She lowered her head.

Shi Hongqi's gaze followed Shi Yan's downwards, and then she saw the hem of Shi Yan's skirt being gently pressed down by her right hand, and the black short skirt that swayed behind her with each step, as if it was about to be lifted up.

"Gulp—" He swallowed unconsciously.

Shi Hongqi seemed to recall the feeling of clinging to Shi Yan this morning.

The girl's skin was soft and smooth.

This greatly shocked Shi Hongqi, who had almost no contact with any other boys or girls besides herself.

However, she quickly realized the predicament Shi Yan was facing.

Because of the slight height difference between herself and Shi Yan, the dress that should have fit her perfectly looked like a mini-skirt on Shi Yan.

"I'm sorry..." came the soft, gentle voice.

If it weren't for her own request, Shi Yan wouldn't have worn her own skirt... and the current embarrassing situation wouldn't have occurred.

However... Shi Hongqi's gaze unconsciously drifted downwards.

Sister Shiyan looks so beautiful like this.

Shi Hongqi was actually very confident in the shape of her legs. Not to mention "the heavens and the earth," there seemed to be few people in the entire Nanjun City who were noticeably better looking than her.

But... Shi Yan's younger sister looks absolutely gorgeous.

And it looks so soft and fluffy, making you want Shi Yan to sit down and then lie on it to enjoy a lap pillow.

The girl's dark golden eyes widened instantly.

"Why...why did I have such a bold idea..."

Shi Yan gripped Shi Hongqi's hand tightly, his fingertips slipping between the girl's fingers, then slowly tightening, holding the girl's small hand firmly.

Shi Yan's actions immediately pulled Shi Hongqi back from her inexplicable thoughts.

The girl's shoulders trembled, and the ends of her hair swayed gently behind her as her hand was grabbed by Shi Yan's younger sister.

Otherwise... gently pinch your earlobe with your hand.

My earlobes must be burning hot right now.

"Why apologize for something like this? It wasn't Sister Hongqi's fault," Shi Yan said with a gentle smile. "On the contrary, it's me~"

“She took the dress that Sister Hongqi treasured.”

“If…if it weren’t for my request…” Shi Hongqi struggled to tear her gaze away from the girl’s graceful legs, “Sister Shi Yan wouldn’t be wearing this dress.”

Although Shi Hongqi was actually faithfully fulfilling her duties as a 'guide'.

Perhaps it was the lingering effects of persecuting another branch back then and their fundamental lack of self-confidence that led the remaining members of "Huangtian Houtu" who now cultivate the "Yuanxun Technique" to inexplicably value this dark color that shouldn't belong to them.

Not to mention attending formal occasions, even when they are dressed in disguise, they all default to wearing black, as if they are afraid that others will not know that they are "people of Heaven and Earth".

Back in the game, when Shi Yan attacked Huangtian Houtu, the only garment he saw that wasn't black was Shi Hongjian's herbal pen.

That's why... Shi Hongqi wanted Shi Yan to change his clothes.

That red palace dress was really too flashy, although...it was very beautiful.

In Shi Hongqi's view, Shi Yan was originally a girl that Shi Wei brought back from outside the clan. Moreover, judging from the clan leader's intention, the reason for having Shi Wei bring her sister Shi Yan back from outside the clan was to participate in the "Enlightenment Conference".

Even if the clan chief has already accepted Shi Yan's death sentence, there will definitely still be some rumors circulating within the clan.

If Shi Yan were still wearing that red palace dress... there would be more non-council members.

Having been constantly subjected to harsh words and malicious slander in front of and behind people's backs, Shi Hongqi did not want Shi Yan to follow in her footsteps.

Even though... she hates it, hates it to death.

right--

He had no interest in her whatsoever; he was simply following the chief's orders and fulfilling his duty as a 'guide'.

"That's not true~" Shi Yan held Shi Hongqi's hand tightly. Even though the girl wanted to break free, how could Shi Hongqi possibly break free from Shi Yan?

Without mentioning the power difference between the two individuals.

Even the slightest hint of the "Snow Cold Technique" was enough to utterly overwhelm a girl practicing the "Primordial Crimson Technique," causing her to surrender without a fight.

"I really like it~"

"Sister Hongqi can wear it for me next time too."

"How...how could this be!!!" Due to the fear of being dominated by nightmares, Shi Hongqi in this timeline had an inexplicable resistance to these slightly tempting outfits.

Girls always wear long sleeves and pants, and when they do wear skirts, they are always ankle-length.

I don't know why I brought this dress back... it's exactly the same dress I wore when I was captured by the nightmare in my dream... and it's been gathering dust in the deepest part of the closet ever since I brought it back.

Shi Hongqi subconsciously resisted.

"And...moreover..."

"Since Sister Shiyan has already worn them, if I wear them too..."

It was like being dominated and surrounded by a gentle nightmare.

A strange yet inexplicably apt metaphor suddenly surfaced in Shi Hongqi's mind.

right--

A gentle nightmare.

Shi Hongqi described it this way in her mind.

"Hey~"

"What a pity." Shi Yan didn't show any regret on his face.

She could sense Shi Hongqi's softening hatred towards her, and... a deep sense of bewilderment and doubt stemming from that inexplicable hatred.

That's enough~

"Constant dripping wears away a stone, and boiling a frog in lukewarm water"—the teacher's words suggest there's no rush.

"Anyway, this isn't about the dress anymore!" Shi Hongqi said, pulling Shi Yan's hand. "Today is the day the clan selects participants for the 'Enlightenment Conference'..."

The girl's voice even trembled with tears, "That spot is very important."

"To Shiyan...to Shiyan herself..."

"It's good for me too..."

"Very important."

"If I miss this opportunity, I will have no face to face the clan leader and Master Yan."

"A spot?" Shi Yan sensed the crowd gathering in the training ground in the distance. "It's alright~ Shi Hongjian will reserve one for us."

"It's the clan chief!!!" Shi Hongqi still cared about Shi Hongjian.

"Yes, yes, yes~ Clan Chief~" Shi Yan raised his head, as if he were meeting Shi Hongjian's gaze.

She could feel that the woman's gaze had been fixed on her ever since she and Shi Hongqi stepped out of the house.

But that woman wasn't worried, so why should I be?

As for... the number of spots?

Shi Yan held Shi Hongqi's small hand.

The "Enlightenment Conference" is a grand gathering held across the nine provinces and ten regions.

The spots held by the ten regions are like 'guaranteed admission' or 'seed players', and some spots will also be allocated to the general public.
