After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

She finally slowly came to her senses.

Logically speaking, Xia Xia, who had just crossed the threshold of the Nascent Soul realm, should not have been able to withstand this heavenly lightning.

This world is not Pokémon.

It's not that Xiaxia, who has the Earth attribute, is immune to lightning damage.

Moreover... Heavenly tribulations are not simply just lightning tribulations.

It also hones one's spirit.

So... why is that?

Shi Yan thought of the only modification he made to everyone in the game except himself.

In the game... this is the second thing Shi Yan did after starting the emulator.

It's all about Xiaxia's defense and resistance, which is completely dominated by her own soft and gentle girls.

If... the changes to Xiaxia's attributes in the game really work the same way as those girls whose affection levels were maxed out by Shiyan.

Therefore, Xiaxia is the person with the strongest defense in the entire Nine Provinces.

"Really? Because I'm too afraid of pain, I put all my points into defense."

Let alone the Enlightenment Realm.

Even if a true immortal descended to earth, they couldn't break Xia Xia's defenses.

This is probably why Xiaxia was still able to protect Shiyan under this seemingly world-ending lightning strike.

but--

Perhaps it's because the modifications made in the game don't fully take effect in reality.

Or perhaps... it's because in order to protect Shi Yan, Xia Xia had to allocate more of her defensive power to protect her older sister.

Or perhaps... the Heavenly Tribulation itself has a mechanism similar to true damage or a guaranteed minimum damage.

Shi Yan could still sense that Xia Xia was injured.

Xiaxia is bleeding.

Xiaxia's life force... is fading away little by little.

Shi Yan could only watch helplessly as the girl on top of him bled, slowly losing the strength to support herself, slowly losing warmth, and... there was nothing he could do.

"My sister will be alright..."

The voice, barely audible, was whispered in Shi Yan's ear.

"summer……"

"Xia Xia..."

"I won't let anything happen to my sister."

"Xiaxia promised her mother..."

"want……"

"I...I must protect my sister..."

"Just to be my sister's mount..."

"Xiaxia..." Shi Yan felt like he was going crazy, "Xiaxia, don't sleep!!"

"Don't sleep!"

But... aside from feeble and powerless cries, Shi Yan seemed to be unable to do anything.

His body was crushed to death, and the jade ring was destroyed.

The relentless thunder gave her and Xiaxia no chance to catch their breath; it never stopped from the very beginning.

How can I save Xiaxia?

How can I heal Xiaxia's wounds?

Shi Yan savored the slightly salty yet sweet taste of dragon blood that filled his mouth.

Looking at his character attribute panel, he saw his attributes constantly increasing due to bathing in dragon blood and the logs continuously updating.

She finally figured it out.

I saw it...

Within my own defying fate... that shining destiny.

"The body of creation".

Did that woman foresee this all along?

Or is it just a coincidence?

My constitution, which seemed only good for flirting... finally seemed to be having a little effect.

Exert all your strength.

Under the heavy pressure of the thunder curtain, Shi Yan raised Xia Xia's head.

The girl's eyes, which should have been bright and sparkling, had lost their focus, becoming empty and pitiful.

Shi Yan took a deep breath, and then... cut open the back of his tongue.

One's own blood... saliva... the spiritual energy of the Snow Cold Technique... are all healing elixirs.

Everything, anything that can be used to heal wounds, anything that can help Xiaxia get better... I'm willing to give it all.

The upper part of his body was clear while the lower part was turbid... all the newly awakened spiritual energy was handed over by Shi Yan without leaving a single trace.

Xiaxia's little hands, which were clinging to Shi Yan's shoulders, clenched tightly, then stretched open as if by her own bones... and clenched again.

Their tiny toes were wrinkled as if they were about to cramp.

She wanted to suppress her teacher's words.

But... in the instant she looked up, she saw a hint of determination in her sister's eyes.

If you want to die...

Then let's die together.

They could only let the tears stream down their faces, let the salty taste seep in, and let their bodies become completely intertwined.

Xiaxia closed her eyes.

They seemed to have lost even the courage to look at it, letting the lightning continue to fall.

Shi Yan's cultivation, which had just entered the first stage of the Initial Opening Realm, seemed to be slowly declining as he paid off his essence blood, but... so what?

If you can break through a realm once, you can break through a realm a second time.

Feeling the warmth of the girl on my body.

Shi Yan only knew that... the one he absolutely could not lose... was Xia Xia.

at last……

A ray of dawn in the distance pierced through the seemingly endless night, and through the seemingly never-ending thunderbolts.

As the last bolt of lightning struck, Shi Yan's nearly numb fingertips... trembled slightly.

She slowly...slowly raised her hand.

After the tribulation ended, the first thing Shi Yan wanted to do was to hug Xia Xia, who was pressing down on him.

The girl's clothes were torn.

The familiar, delicate yet firm shoulder touched Shi Yan's hand, and he hugged Xia Xia tightly... tightly.

Then... he gently rested his chin on the girl's shoulder.

He pulled so hard it was as if he wanted to embed the girl's body into his arms.

She gazed at the hazy, magenta sky, her eyes, which had lost focus due to the long, long thunderstorm, slowly refocused.

Everything within a radius of several kilometers around Shi Yan and Xia Xia had been wiped out by the lightning.

The entire earth even transformed into a shimmering, almost glass-like appearance.

It's like a giant mirror placed on the ground.

The nearly naked girls were embedded in the mirror, embracing each other tightly.

Shi Yan tried to struggle to pull himself out of her body.

She knew... she had to regain her strength to protect herself as soon as possible.

In their current weakened state, Xiaxia and I might be targeted by people with ulterior motives, or by the remnants of the "Upper Moon Sect" who have survived.

Shi Yan's body was now completely empty; he didn't even have the strength or spiritual energy to take out a piece of clothing from his storage ring to cover himself and Xia Xia.

Her mouth was dry, and her lips were almost stuck together.

If only the jade ring hadn't broken.

She could immediately call upon Yunshang to take her and Xiaxia away.

But... at that time, all she wanted was to send Xiaxia away, and she couldn't care about anything else.

"Fool……"

"Fool!!"

Shi Yan even wanted to bite the girl's face and make her hurt.

The girl, already too weak to lift her head, simply nestled in Shi Yan's arms and gave a sweet, innocent smile.

tread--

The crisp sound of high heels clicking on the mirror.

A slender and beautiful figure slowly approached.
