After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

As soon as Shi Yan spoke, everyone in the sedan chair paused for a moment.

Hua Xiangrong looked up at Shi Yan.

Xia Xia, who had been constantly 'bullied' by Hua Xiangrong, finally got a chance to catch her breath. She snuggled gently against Shi Yan and adjusted her sitting posture.

Yunyi, whose name was called by Shi Yan, tensed up and looked down at the toes of the girl sitting on Shi Yan's lap.

"Miss Shi...?"

Shi Yan hadn't expected that her words would only make things more awkward. All eyes in the sedan chair suddenly turned to her.

Oh... Yunshang probably won't.

That's a complete idiot.

Thinking this, Shi Yan glanced over and saw Yun Shang's beautiful, dark eyes staring intently at his profile.

As soon as Shi Yan turned his head, all eyes in the sedan chair immediately shifted to Yunshang.

Yunshang's heart was trembling.

The girl let out a mournful "Goo-ooh." Her shoulders trembled as she looked at the four pairs of eyes staring back at her. She raised her right hand and clenched it into a small fist.

"Wang?"

Shi Yan witnessed the girl's overwhelming embarrassment and quickly looked away.

Yunshang let out a long sigh of relief, then curled up in the corner of the bed, her small feet, which had been curled up like jade hooks due to nervousness and anxiety, finally relaxed.

"Waaaaah, this is terrifying!"

"Don't come out by yourself next time."

As Yunshang relaxed, Yunyi, who was standing beside her, swayed slightly. Her right hand clenched tightly behind her back, her knuckles turning white.

She and Yunshang were of one mind, almost sharing the same senses.

Yunshang was so embarrassed by being stared at that, she was naturally no better off.

Shi Yan mourned for the girl in his heart with "ecstasy," and after offering sacrifices to Yunshang, the atmosphere in the sedan chair became much more normal.

She picked up the subject, "Yunyi... is there something you need to do here this time?"

Shi Yan knew that if there was anything to ask Hua Xiangrong, it was better to ask Yunyi directly.

It wouldn't be good if something happened to the girls and they were delayed.

“Miss said…she misses you.” Looking at Shi Yan, Yunyi sighed softly, “Last time, Miss was too exhausted, and when she woke up, you had already left.”

Actually, Shi Yan hadn't left when Hua Xiangrong woke up last time.

But... Yunyi couldn't very well say—

Last time, when Miss woke up, she saw you and me being all lovey-dovey. She was upset for a long time, and only took her anger out on herself after you left.

Shi Yan could feel the girl in his arms suddenly tighten.

Alas, we've touched on a deadly topic again.

"When Yunshang saw that you were having dinner at the market, she simply brought her young lady over to find you."

Shi Yan grasped Xia Xia's small hand with his right hand, his fingertips slipping between the girl's fingers, holding her soft little hand firmly.

She stroked the girl's tiger's mouth.

Xiaxia sat obediently in Shi Yan's arms, her eyes glistening with tears, but she bit her lip and didn't make a sound.

Xiaxia should listen to her older sister.

Xiaxia felt wronged, but she didn't say anything.

When Hua Xiangrong heard Yunyi's words, she nodded her little head and rubbed against Shiyan, indicating that it was indeed true.

Hua Xiangrong's sedan chair escorted Shi Yan all the way back to the Shi family home.

Just before Shi Yan got out of the sedan chair, Yun Yi reminded him one last time.

There are demonic cultivators causing trouble in this southern city.

Once you enter the Sword Tomb... please be extra careful.

If all else fails, just leave the Sword Tomb. After all, it's just a wisp of spiritual energy, nothing serious.

Also... bring plenty of talismans to ward off evil spirits.

Go and exchange some more gold and silver jewelry to carry with you.

Shi Yan was stunned for a moment.

Yunyi seemed to know far more than she had imagined.

She might even... know what's inside the Sword Tomb.

The master didn't say much, but simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

She helped Xiaxia out of the car. Hua Xiangrong leaned out of the window and waved vigorously at Shi Yan and Xiaxia; she really liked Shi Yan and Xiaxia.

Xiaxia watched the sedan chair disappear around the street corner before she tugged at Shi Yan's sleeve, looking aggrieved.

"That Hua Xiangrong...does she like you, sister?"

The girl's questions were incredibly direct.

Looking into the girl's watery eyes, Shi Yan felt as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

"Yes."

"Then...does my sister like her?" Xiaxia couldn't help but sniffle.

"Yes..." Shi Yan answered with even greater difficulty.

but--

She couldn't bring herself to say something against her conscience.

In the game, she and Hua Xiangrong probably "enlightened" together the most times.

There's no way around it... girls are always so easy to impulsively approach.

Xiaxia's shoulders were trembling. Sister... why couldn't she just lie to herself? She was so easily fooled.

"Then...then..." she said, "Does my sister like her more, or does she like Xiaxia more?"

Her voice sounded pitiful.

Even just a little bit... just a tiny bit would be fine.

Xiaxia stretched out her hand and tried to gesture, the distance between her fingers getting smaller and smaller.

Shi Yan looked at the girl and sighed.

She hugged Xiaxia tightly.

"Xiaxia... is different."

"Unlike everyone else..."

The body in my arms went limp.

But Shi Xia had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

All...people?

Part 54 The Soul of the Pixiu [First Update]

The "Sword Tomb" will open in three days.

At that time, the gate to the "Sword Tomb" will probably be opened somewhere outside the south of the city.

I heard that some people have already set up tents overnight near the south of the city, waiting for the "Sword Tomb" to open.

Among them are cultivators at the highest level, such as those at the Golden Core Realm, those at the Crystallization Realm, and many, many more at the Body Tempering Realm.

They didn't even know the level requirements to enter the "Sword Tomb," they were just waiting.

Cultivating immortality is inherently defying the heavens.

Every cultivator harbors a dream of being the protagonist.

"What if... this opportunity is meant for me?"

"What if..."

Isn't this a form of self-deprecation?

Even in the game, the entrance to the "Sword Tomb" is random, so Shi Yan didn't know where to wait.

So I simply stopped squatting.

Anyway, she knew... that opening the "Sword Tomb" wasn't that simple.

and--

Regarding "Sword Tomb".

The master said there was still one trump card that would guarantee victory.

Besides his prior knowledge of the monster structure inside the "Sword Tomb" dungeon, that trump card... is the key to Shi Yan's true composure.

Before that... she still had plenty of time to be intimate with girls.

By the way, I'll improve my skills.

It was already the morning of the next day when Shi Yan left the Shi family alone to go to the market to purchase the pills and equipment needed to go to the "Sword Tomb".

Yesterday...and the events of the past two days have really upset Xiaxia.

The girls were all acting very wildly yesterday.

The consequences...

Shi Yan gently stroked the girl's fingertips that were sticking out of the blankets, and carefully fed her water.

Xiaxia tried to get up, feeling exhausted, but Shiyan pressed her back down.

She looked up at her sister, holding the small bowl in both hands and sipping it slowly, "Xiaxia...Xiaxia, it's okay."
