After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The teacher said that he never expected that.

Xing Zhuoshi unexpectedly appeared at "Xingtian Square".

I'm sure many girls saw how pathetic I looked just now.

Teachers could only hope... They didn't realize why they were in such a sorry state.

They simply took that disheveled state as a sign of their helplessness in front of their elders.

That's right!

That's it!

The teacher even thought that way in his own heart.

After walking only a few steps back to "Heaven and Earth," Shi Yan sensed... his little tail sneaking up on him again.

Looking back...

Behind the plain wall and moon gate of the courtyard, the girl's head almost immediately shrank back, revealing only a little bit of her dark hair.

Shi Yan pretended not to see and continued walking forward.

The courtyard scenery inside "Huangtian Houtu" is decorated quite well.

Ancient trees are newly verdant, and a gentle breeze rustles through the flower-filled courtyard.

It also faintly reveals a strange array formation.

Shi Yan knew that it was the "Huangtian Houtu Grand Formation" hidden deep within "Huangtian Houtu".

The great formation can only be opened by the blood of two descendants of the "Huangtian Houtu" bloodline, who are qualified to cultivate the "Yuanxun Jue" and the "Xuantian Jing" respectively.

However, that has nothing to do with the current situation.

Shi Yan tiptoed and turned around lightly.

The little tail following Shi Yan immediately hid nervously behind a pavilion.

The little girl hid herself very poorly; her tiny, childlike hands clung to the pillars of the pavilion, revealing a glimpse of her soft, pink fingers.

"I caught you---"

Shi Yan was playing the game she and Shi Moyi were playing.

His body transformed into the wind.

A spring breeze carrying a hint of milkiness caressed my face.

The girl was so nervous that she closed her eyes.

However... the little girl's nervousness has probably gradually transformed from the fear she felt at first sight into a kind of... anticipation-like nervousness.

"I've got you—" Shi Yan, unusually, showed the kind of smile that only appears when teasing a little girl, without a trace of scorn.

She appeared behind Shi Moyi, grabbed the girl's soft arms, and picked her up.

Shi Yan frowned slightly.

Then he laughed, "Little Mo Yi's cultivation has broken through so quickly?"

"They're almost at the Spirit Realm already."

"Is there anything you want, anything you want to eat?"

"Sister Shiyan will take you to buy it."

When Shi Yan picked her up, the girl struggled a few times as a gesture.

Then Shi Yan turned him around.

As if to release all the tension he felt when facing his mother-in-law at "Starry Sky Square," Shi Yan lowered his head, pressed his cheek against the little girl's soft face, and shook his head vigorously from side to side, rubbing against the girl's face.

It even rubbed the girl's face until it was flushed.

Shi Moyi gently pushed Shi Yan with her small hand. But... even the eldest senior sister couldn't resist Shi Yan.

How could a little girl possibly disobey her teacher's words?

The little hand pushing Shi Yan seemed to have become a mixture of reluctance and attraction.

"division……"

"Sister Shiyan..."

She looked at Shi Yan in front of her, her dark golden eyes bright and clear, yet they seemed like an invisible sword, piercing straight through Shi Yan's nerves.

Shi Yan's expression froze on the spot.

The little girl seemed frightened by Shi Yan's expression, and she didn't dare to speak for a moment...

She looked at Shi Yan nervously, her tone slightly questioning, "Sister Shi Yan...Master?"

"How is this going?"

Shi Yan looked into the girl's dark golden eyes, his tone chillingly cold.

"What...what's going on?!"

An uncontrollable rage seemed to surge within him, and the chilling killing intent even made Shi Hongjian, who was still overseeing the situation at "Starry Sky Square," frown.

He slowly walked down from the stands, whispered something to the Star Official Miss from the Starry Sky Division under her tense and frightened gaze, and then turned and disappeared from the spot.

"Shi Yan?" Shi Hongjian was the first to rush back.

In Shi Yan's arms, Shi Moyi was so frightened by Shi Yan's sudden anger that he wanted to curl up in her arms and couldn't say a word.

"Look—" Shi Yan simply picked up Shi Moyi and turned him around, letting Shi Hongjian take a look.

Almost simultaneously, looking into the girl's dark golden, watery eyes, Shi Hongjian's brows furrowed.

What's going on?

Dark golden eyes... are a rather unique symbol of identity in the "Heaven and Earth".

It was even more dazzling than that black dress.

Because... her dark golden eyes signify that she has awakened the "Phoenix Feather".

They are descendants who inherited the power of "Heaven and Earth".

Only those descendants of the Heavenly Emperor and Earthly Queen who have awakened the "Phoenix Feather" can better cultivate the "Primordial Crimson Technique".

However... the "Phoenix Feather" cannot be awakened casually.

The prerequisite for awakening "Phoenix Feather" is... dying once.

Even Shi Hongjian couldn't be sure whether a child with the bloodline of "Heaven and Earth" truly possessed the power of "Phoenix Feather".

Even if she does... whether she can awaken is another question.

There is a hidden condition for triggering "Phoenix Feather".

She wanted to live—

An unwavering...desire to live.

More than a decade ago, Shi Hongqi, the daughter of a slave, died in the desolate and lonely night.

When she reappeared in the school within "Heaven and Earth" the next day, her dark golden eyes terrified everyone.

Shi Hongjian decided to adopt the girl after seeing her determined, almost burning eyes.

Then--

The "Heaven and Earth" system was rectified.

Shi Hongjian never expected that something like this would happen again right under her nose today.

"What's going on?" Shi Hongjian frowned deeply.

"I don't know either." Shi Yan hugged Shi Moyi with heartache, and gently kissed the corner of the girl's eye amidst her bewildered gaze.

"I just saw it too."

After being reborn from the ashes.

Xiao Shi Mo Yi's entire demeanor was completely refreshed.

Shi Yan was also unable to find any clues about the new Shi Moyi.

Not wanting the girl to recall her terrible past, Shi Yan and Shi Hongjian exchanged a glance.

The unspoken understanding between the two led Shi Hongjian to cast a sleeping spell on the girl.

Bringing Shi Moyi along, Shi Yan went to find Shang Yueqing.

It's not that I suspect Qingqing did anything to the girl last month.

Only Qingqing could find out what happened without letting the girl relive her potentially terrible past.

After learning Shi Yan's purpose, Shang Yue Qingqing bit her lip, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

After falling into the power of "Happy Day" and then surviving... Shangyue Qingqing found that her world seemed to have lost its color.

Whatever she does, whatever she does to herself.

I can no longer feel even the slightest bit of satisfaction.

So... she looked forward to Shi Yan's arrival.

but--

Last month, Qingqing's expectations were not for Master Shiyan to come and ask her to help with the investigation.

However, she immediately got into the zone.

Master Shiyan's words are the same as Sister Ya's words.

Master Shiyan's order is Sister Ya's order.

Looking at the little girl lying on her makeshift bed with the sheets removed, Shangyue Qingqing placed her hands on the girl's temples.

"A mirage"

The fine rain fell in a soft, persistent patter.

Time seemed to rewind to a few days ago, to a night with a light autumn rain.
