After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Cough cough!

Closer to home.

Thank you all very much for your support.

Every ticket, every comment, and every cat cookie you give is my greatest encouragement.

I'm hoping for a first-time subscription tomorrow!

If there were an automatic subscription feature, I would be even more arrogant!

And then—

This is the section about bounties—

The author doesn't have any drafts saved up, so returning the reward will probably be slow, but... it will definitely be returned!

Bounty conditions:

200 monthly votes + 1 more chapter.

150 blades + 1 more.

15000 Cat Coins + 1 more chapter.

No upper limit.

But, but, but!

In addition to two updates per day, there will be... 0 or 2 updates.

After all, you can't promise something you can't deliver. (I made an embarrassing sound while sitting in the hot pot restaurant with the god of ten updates).

And then...

Even if no one votes or gives me a reward, I'll still update more chapters depending on the situation.

So please be careful when feeding them.

My favorite saying is, "With that money, wouldn't it be better to just buy some pork ribs and stew them?"

I'd be very grateful if you could subscribe to my account, and give me free recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and even a few clicks.

Well... as with previous updates, see you tomorrow at 5 PM.

Part 56. The Senior Sister of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect? [First Update]

With clear, innocent eyes like a child's, the girl looked down at the entire square.

She gazed at Shi Yan intently, as if deep in thought.

She is the guiding sword spirit in the "Sword Tomb".

In the game's storyline, she is probably similar to a guide NPC, responsible for guiding players on how to clear the "Sword Tomb".

Details such as the ability to bribe the little Pixiu with gold and silver jewelry were also revealed to players by the Blade & Soul girl.

In the game, "Sword Tomb" is just a tutorial dungeon for beginners, so it's not difficult.

The main purpose is to allow players to choose the direction of their future cultivation techniques.

Blade & Soul Girl will give players 'trial tickets' for various martial arts techniques, including swords, spears, halberds, fists, palms, fingers, legs, and the elements of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and marshes.

at the same time--

She is also the final trial in the "Sword Tomb".

Only by defeating the sword spirit girl in the final trial can one enter the depths of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" and choose any cultivation manual of any quality and type to take away.

In the game, she doesn't have a name.

Except for the race line which reads "[Race: Sword Spirit]", all other attributes on the attribute panel are the same as Hua Xiangrong's: "[--]".

But... since there's a standard attribute panel, it means there's an option for affinity.

Although we can't talk to each other or give gifts, Master says he has a cheat code!

She tentatively tried to change the Blade & Soul girl's affection level. The result was smooth; in a flash, the girl's affection level became a perfect nine hearts, "Unwavering until death."

Limited by the inherent flow of the game.

Even though the Blade & Soul girl is "unwavering in her love for Shi Yan" in the game, the entire "Sword Tomb" process remains completely unchanged.

At most, the girls' lines became more intimate and flirtatious. The final trial, with its thousands of swords unleashed, was still just as intimidating, showing absolutely no mercy.

but--

Reality is not a game.

Shi Yan, who had been 'forced into marriage' by Jun Qianrou once, had already realized that the plot of this world was not fixed and unchanging.

Looking up, Shi Yan met the gaze of the sword spirit girl.

The Blade & Soul girl has a really great figure.

Graceful and slender, with a delicate and charming figure.

Shi Yan still remembers the "destruction CG" after the girl's defeat—

She was sitting on the ground with her body bent like a duck, her right hand covering her front, and her milky white, plump figure seemed to be squeezed out.

Unlike Jun Qianrou, who, despite her plumpness, seemed to lack some of her charm and instead appeared weak and vulnerable, making her seem like someone who could be bullied and teased.

The Blade & Soul girl's lines are not just soft; they can be described as vibrant, beautiful, and incomparably charming.

The girl blinked, seemingly confused.

She had just woken up, feeling confused and bewildered.

Apart from the myriad sword techniques, it's almost like a blank sheet of paper.

Hmm... almost.

The sword spirit girl seemed completely oblivious to the reason behind her affection for that girl. And... precisely because of this inner emptiness, she didn't consider the difference between men and women.

All she knew was that...

Like is like.

That girl... was different from everyone else.

I want to become her sword.

He wanted to serve her.

I want... to be held and played with in her hands.

The sword spirit girl blinked as she looked at Shi Yan.

She instinctively hugged her legs together, her slender fingers twisting them. In the shimmering light, one could vaguely see the arches of the girl's feet curving into beautiful crescents.

The girl looked away from Shi Yan and buried her face between her legs.

"It moved! It moved!"

The cultivators who had entered the Sword Tomb in the square suddenly became noisy.

Shi Yan could clearly feel the gazes of those around him.

Too...

They'd been inside for so long and the one bound in the cocoon of light hadn't made a sound, but as soon as he arrived, the girl stared straight at him, looking like a budding flower.

Even a fool would know there's something wrong with this.

"Who is that kid?" They chattered amongst themselves, seemingly oblivious to Shi Yan's words.

After all... Shi Yan is only at the Qi Refining stage.

In the "Sword Tomb", besides those in the Qi Refining Realm, there are quite a few in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"A man with feminine features is bound to die young."

"I must say... I quite like her fair face and red lips."

"Save your breath... That's the young master of the Shi family, Shi Yan." A mocking voice rang out, "Just a month or two ago, he was still only at the first level of the Body Tempering Realm."

"It is said that he practices the 'Hidden Sword Technique,' a secret technique passed down only by the supreme swordsmanship sect, the Azure Lotus Sword Sect."

"Ten years to forge a sword, and when it is drawn, its light chills nineteen provinces."

"He was in the Qi Refining stage when he killed a powerful figure in the late Foundation Establishment stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became somewhat quiet.

One month...from the first stage of Body Tempering Realm to the late stage of Qi Refining Realm?

Can you even kill people of higher ranks?

That would be terrible.

Can't be bothered.

It's better to keep your mouth shut.

But... the "Azure Lotus Sword Sect"?

Everyone turned their attention to a group of sword cultivators with lotus patterns on their clothes near the front of the Sword Tomb.

That was a team from the "Azure Lotus Sword Sect" that had come all the way from Shu County.

The sword cultivators of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect also sensed the unusual and heavy atmosphere in the air.

At the very front of the group, a pretty girl tugged at the sleeve of the young man in front of her, "Senior brother, senior brother..."

The young man looked in the direction his teacher had spoken.

Instantly, everyone around Shi Yan dispersed, leaving a large empty space.

Nanjun City was ultimately just a 'starter village'.

Here, those at the Golden Core stage are already considered 'powerful beings,' and those at the Foundation Establishment stage can practically do whatever they want.

The Qinglian Sword Sect's team of nine consisted entirely of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they were the most terrifyingly lethal sword cultivators among all cultivators. Ordinary rogue cultivators would never dare to provoke them.

They were quite pleased to see Shi Yan embarrass himself in front of the Qinglian Sword Sect. It's a normal psychological reaction to feel schadenfreude towards someone you're jealous of.
