After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

My throat unconsciously swallowed.

Apart from the hand that Shi Yan had grabbed, the senior sister's other hand was tightly gripping Shi Yan's bath towel.

It was as if she could easily pull off the towel wrapped around Shi Yan's body with just a little effort.

Hearing the approaching footsteps... and the girl's breathing drawing near outside...

The eldest sister's heart was pounding like crazy, like never before.

After all... if outsiders saw her and her sister Shiyan looking like this, especially if those related to Shiyan saw them... what would happen if they saw them?

That is—

"Caught in the act"

Even Qin Suhuai herself didn't understand why she was so flustered.

Qin Suhuai, who should have been the 'victim' and the one who should have been questioning, has once again inexplicably...slipped to the 'lowest moral point'.

If this hadn't happened...

Shi Yan probably didn't even know how to introduce Wen Ruya, Wen Qieyun, Donghuang Li, Qi Yin, Shi Wei, Shi Hongjian... to Qin Suhuai.

Yes, them.

But... by some strange twist of fate, it seems that Shi Yan no longer needs explanation.

"what to do..."

Her shimmering, smoky purple eyes tilted upwards as she looked at Shi Yan in a flustered manner.

The eldest sister's bright and beautiful eyes seemed to speak volumes.

She didn't even bother to ask who the girl outside was.

Shi Yan gently hugged Qin Suhuai and Su Guo's shoulders.

As a sword cultivator—

She is still the woman standing at the very pinnacle of sword cultivation.

The eldest sister's figure and body fat percentage actually blew up Shi Yan's XP system.

It is not weak.

They are completely different from weak sorcerers like Donghuang Li, or types like Xia Xia and Hua Xiangrong.

Just like... when Qin Suhuai came out of the bathroom carrying a bath towel.

At a glance, you can see that the girl has rounded shoulder lines, a slender waist, and an excessively smooth rib line along the edge of the bath towel.

However... he is significantly different from body cultivators like Shi Hongqi or Cang Wanqing.

At least it won't make Shi Yan feel like his waist is about to break.

Pain...but also pleasure.

"Shh—" Shi Yan didn't make a sound, but simply raised her index finger and pressed it against her senior sister's lips.

Tianwaitian had just been lured by Shiyan's words... and the womb-mandala with its eyes closed was forced to open for business again—

Even with the precedent set by Wen Ruya, who could sense the gaze of the Womb Mandala, ... so far, the Womb Mandala's perspective over the mortal world remains the most stable and secure.

It is even more stable than divine consciousness.

Shi Yan saw Shi Hongqi about to push open the door at the entrance of the corridor.

"strangeness..."

She was a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, Shi Hongqi should be with Shi Wei right now, preparing to rest.

Why did you suddenly come here?

Or perhaps... Shi Hongqi set up some kind of spell in the room that she herself didn't even realize.

He only rushed back because he realized he had come to her little home, and even... brought another girl with him.

But what about this immortal cultivation?

As a body cultivator, how could Shi Hongqi possibly set up a spell that even she herself didn't realize?

Click—

The sound of the key turning in the lock was like a Damocles' sword hanging over Shi Yan and Qin Suhuai's heads, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.

One hand tightly gripped the top edge of Shi Yan's bath towel.

The eldest sister's expression could no longer be simply described as panicked.

Even... the hand that had once again grasped Shi Yan's wrist... seemed to be slightly damp with sweat from panic.

In addition, the girl's hair was still damp after her bath, and her eyes were still glistening with tears.

All I can say is...that's fantastic!

—Do your utmost.

Qin Suhuai fell silent, leaving only the faintest breath gently brushing against Shi Yan's neck.

It startled a few soft, damp strands of hair.

Qin Suhuai, who was frozen there, had suppressed her aura to the extreme, so much so that she gave the impression of Shi Yan holding a spirit sword in his arms.

Strange... a girl holding a sword...

Why does this setting feel so smug?

Click-click—

The key continued to turn, and Qin Suhuai's shoulders trembled slightly.

Shi Yan seemed to have foreseen... Following Wenren Ermo, another "world-famous painting" was about to be staged.

Moreover... the situation might be even worse than it was before.

Unlike Ajiu, who was a simple-minded girl, Shi Hongqi was a proper Nascent Soul cultivator, even though she was a body cultivator.

Besides... this is her home.

When Shi Hongqi pushed open the door and came in, it was incredibly easy for her to notice the abnormality.

I think I've mentioned this before—

Shi Hongqi's daily life home is actually a small room left to her by her parents.

The house was very basic and had poor sound insulation.

Without a protective barrier, the creaking sound of the aging wooden furniture upstairs could be heard clearly.

Most importantly... the house's structure is almost entirely a straight-through room.

Shi Yan could even imagine that if Shi Hongqi pushed open the door and came in... she would probably see her at a glance—

On her small bed, she lay half-reclined, wrapped only in a bath towel.

Behind me... was another girl, though she was blurry and indistinct, but probably only wrapped in a bath towel.

Under the clear moonlight, Shi Hongqi was probably able to meet Qin Suhuai's timid, misty, smoky purple eyes.

"Master Shi Yan..."

"Who is this woman?!"

Why is she in my house?!

"Sleeping in my bed!"

"still..."

"I'll stay with Master Shiyan!!!"

The scene was so beautiful that it would shock girls for three hundred years.

For a moment, Shi Yan didn't know where to put Qin Suhuai.

The eldest sister was only wrapped in a bath towel, so it would definitely not be appropriate to ask her to climb out the window at this time.

Even if Qin Suhuai were willing, Shi Yan would never do it.

It would be her loss if others saw Qin Suhuai's ankle.

Moreover... if others see this, tomorrow's front page headline in the Jizhou tabloids will probably be something like, "Shocking! The senior sister of the 'Azure Lotus Sword Sect' actually did this kind of thing in 'Heaven and Earth'..."

Rather than that outcome, Shi Yan would rather face the impending storm head-on.

She looked around.

If the Snow Palace was so extravagant that even the bed was carved from a single piece of Cold Fragrance Snow Jade that Wenren Ermo had no way to hide, then...

So Shi Hongqi's little nest was probably so shabby that Qin Suhuai had nowhere to hide.

Under the bed is completely out of the question.

There's simply no room for a person to hide under such a cramped bed.

The only place in the entire room where someone could hide... was probably Shi Hongqi's wardrobe.

Can...

Shi Yan had opened Shi Hongqi's wardrobe.

If Qin Suhuai wanted to squeeze in... the scene would probably be quite something.

Click—

The sound of the lock being fully opened.

Qin Suhuai didn't care about anything else anymore. Wrapped only in a bath towel, she rushed towards the wardrobe.

"Master Shi Yan?" Shi Hongqi's voice was already very clear from outside.

Qin Suhuai placed her slender hand on the wardrobe, a hint of despair suddenly appearing in her smoky purple eyes.

She turned to look at Shi Yan, silently gesturing with her lips.

Shi Yan realized something was wrong.
