After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Shi Yan recalled the changes in Shi Moyi over the past few days.

Rome wasn't built in a day; when did the changes begin?

It seems to have started from that afternoon four days ago... when I met the little girl in the flower corridor.

Why do you look so listless?

Pretending to be joking, Shi Yan stretched out his hand.

The little girl stood in front of Shi Yan without flinching, letting him gently stroke her head.

He gently stroked the girl's soft hair.

The little girl's head was pressed down by Shi Yan's words, and she hummed softly.

In the past, the girl would never have been so obedient right away; she would have definitely played with Shi Yan for a while first.

This is the tacit understanding between the girl and her teacher.

It's also a game between the little girl and Shiyan's fingertips.

Generally speaking, the 'war' only ends when Shi Yan puts his arm around the little girl and pulls her into his arms.

But... Shi Yan looked at the girl in front of him, who looked haggard and even dull.

Suddenly I felt a pang of heartache.

My thumb ran over the corner of the girl's lips, and my fingertip could feel the dryness and cracking between her lips.

It's not necessarily a lack of water.

It could also be due to other factors.

Holding the girl's slender waist, Shi Yan lifted Shi Moyi onto his lap.

To be honest... at this moment, there was a sense of fragility in the girl's bright eyes, as if they were about to break.

She tugged at Shi Yan's sleeve.

Her bright eyes shimmered with a misty light.

"Shiyan...Big Sister..."

"Looks very tired..."

The girl's soft, hesitant voice and her answer seemed to surprise even the teacher.

The reason why Shi Moyi looked listless and didn't even want to interact with Shi Yan was not because of the girl's own weakness.

Instead... she felt that Shi Yan looked very tired. He looked exhausted, clearly having worked tirelessly day and night the previous day.

That's why the little girl didn't misbehave with Shi Yan.

When Shi Yan reached out his hand, the girl immediately ran over obediently from a distance.

For a moment, Shi Yan was at a loss for words.

Looking at the little girl on her lap, she could only offer a doting yet almost helpless smile.

Shi Yan reached out and ruffled the girl's soft, casually cut hair.

The little girl's brows furrowed tightly, and she raised her arm to try and protect her hairstyle.

My head may be severed, my blood may flow, but my hairstyle must not be messed up.

But... how could a mere little girl possibly withstand Shi Yan's iron hooves and ravages?

With just one hand, Shi Yan easily grabbed the girl's wrists together, lifted them up, and made the little girl look like a lamb to the slaughter.

With one arm around the girl's slender waist, Shi Yan buried his face in her hair and shook his head vigorously.

The little girl was completely under his control.

She could only puff out her cheeks and stare intently at Shi Yan.

Then, taking advantage of Shi Yan's unpreparedness, he suddenly bit Shi Yan's neck.

Hmm... I'll gnaw on it.

It wasn't a bite.

It's like biting into an apple.

Because it neither broke through the defenses nor bit Shi Yan's skin.

The girl took a big bite out of Shi Yan's neck, leaving only a wet patch of saliva.

Shi Yan's eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

This once made the little girl think... was Sister Shiyan going to 'bite' back?

Fortunately—

Shi Yan simply... pressed his chin on the girl's shoulder, then roughly squeezed it, smearing all of the little girl's saliva back onto her.

With her wrists grabbed by Shi Yan and being cruelly bullied, the little girl almost burst into tears on the spot.

However... when Shi Yan released his grip on the girl's wrist, the little girl pitifully clung to Shi Yan's clothes and looked up at him, only to find that the Shi Yan who had previously made her feel somewhat tired, even somewhat dejected, was...

He even gave himself a rather handsome smile.

"Teacher Yan...Sir?"

With a slightly doubtful tone, Shi Moyi seemed to realize something.

It seems that Master Shi Yan was just trying to make himself look a little more energetic.

Even if... it's done through teasing and bullying.

But upon closer reflection, every time Master Shiyan tried to make me happy, it started with teasing me.

"Master Shiyan is an idiot!!!"

These words popped into her mind, but when she looked into Shi Yan's eyes, she couldn't help but form a beautiful curve.

A girl's expression, just by looking at her, will make you feel that she is smiling.

Only then did Shi Yan begin to seriously ask Shi Moyi the question, "Tell your sister..."

"Has someone been bullying Xiao Moyi?"

With one hand on each side, Shi Yan played with the girl's face.

"If anyone bullies Xiao Moyi..."

"Little Mo Yi will tell his sister."

"I'll help you beat them up."

Shi Yan spoke very seriously, as if he were the only one who could bully the little girl, even if she was bullied.

Sitting on Shi Yan's lap, the girl clung tightly to his chest, her eyes seemingly filled with light as she looked at him.

His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't say a word.

Because of that vow... Shi Moyi couldn't say anything about Shangyue Qingqing at all.

"The person who bullied me..."

"Of course it's the wicked Sister Shi Yan!"

Indistinctly, only this kind of sound could be squeezed out.

Sensing the sincerity of his elder sister Shi Yan towards him... the more he touched her, the more afraid Shi Moyi became.

She was afraid...

I don't know what that woman from the Upper Moon Sect wants me to do.

Even more frightening...

What does that woman want to do to Sister Shiyan?

When the woman mentioned Master Shiyan's name, it didn't sound very friendly.

But... I couldn't bring myself to say it.

He could only hide in the corner of "Heaven and Earth" like a puppet, keeping an eye on Sister Shiyan for that woman.

Shi Moyi had a feeling.

After that strange, dreamlike thing.

That woman... was watching Master Shiyan through her own eyes.

"Is it Shangyue Qingqing?" To Shi Moyi's surprise and delight, Lord Shi Yan actually blurted out the woman's name.

The girl opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

But the girl's behavior... tells a strange story behind all of this.

Shi Yan could guess that Shang Yue Qingqing was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes.

She may have used some kind of hypnotic technique on Shi Moyi to make his body faithfully obey her commands.

At the same time... he was being watched through Shi Moyi's eyes.

Shi Yan was able to perceive all of this thanks to Aya.

yesterday--

When Shi Yan looked at Aya through the eyes of the Garbhadhatu Mandala, Aya felt the gaze of the Garbhadhatu Mandala.

That's actually impossible.

Let alone the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, even a Dao Enlightenment Realm cultivator like Shi Hongjian might not be able to notice the gaze of the Womb Mandala.

But Wen Ruya managed to do it.

The reason is simple... what she actually felt was not the gaze of the womb mandala beyond the mortal world.

What the girl sensed was Shi Yan's gaze.

Their hearts were already intertwined, and they could feel each other's gaze. Is that strange?

Last month, Qingqing's skills were far inferior to those of the Womb Mandala.

No... it should be said that the two are not even in the same dimension or on the same level.
