After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

As the title suggests...

I'm so sorry!!

sorry!

I'm starting to feel the strain.

Part 440. Is it acceptable to express one's affection for one's teacher by kissing their feet? [First update, 4K words]

A bright crescent moon hung obliquely in a corner of the night sky.

Under the flawless, pure white moonlight... was the girl's fair and captivating figure.

The dark silk nightgown was semi-transparent.

Against the backdrop of that plain silk dress, the girl's skin appeared excessively fair.

Shi Yan rested his hands behind his back, leaning against the cold stream.

Her delicate toes gently touched the cold stream, creating ripples. Shi Yan seemed to be gazing at the shimmering moon in the water, lost in thought.

The water in the cold stream was still too cold for her.

Although with the cultivation level of the initial stage, there is no major problem even if one were to directly go into seclusion at the bottom of this cold stream.

But... Shi Yan still didn't quite like it.

She preferred hot springs to cold streams.

The bubbling spring water will steam out mist, and the water vapor will condense on the girl's skin like the surface of a peeled egg.

A girl with sweat dampening her temples seems to gain an extra touch of allure.

But... if it's just sitting by the cold stream, looking at Shi Hongjian.

Shi Yan still wouldn't mind.

A few days ago, during the "quarterfinals" of the Enlightenment Conference... she provoked both Wen Ruya and Qin Suhuai.

This caused the dignified senior sister of the "Azure Lotus Sword Sect" and the holy maiden of the "Love Sea Demon Sect" to be left standing on the stage, only able to stare blankly.

Even... it's difficult to stand on the stage.

Although from the outside perspective... it seems that Qin Suhuai and Wen Ruya's cultivation levels have far surpassed those of their peers, and the two are actually engaged in a "battle of cultivation levels".

But... they are familiar with each other's relatives and friends, and fellow disciples from the same clan;

Or perhaps it's a senior like Dongjun or Chouyan Jushi who can see it at a glance—

Something was wrong with Qin Suhuai and Wen Ruya.

If you delve deeper, you'll discover that... the two of them are almost completely depleted of their spiritual energy.

Neither Wen Ruya nor Qin Suhuai could make a move.

Because once they make a move, it will expose the embarrassing reality that both of their internal organs are now almost completely empty.

In the end... it was Wen Ruya who was the first to be visited by Shi Yan because she lived close by, and Shi Yan stole all her spiritual energy.

Naturally... it only recovered a little bit at first.

They won by an extremely narrow margin.

But whether it was Wen Ruya or Qin Suhuai... their feelings after that match could only be described as half shy, half angry, and half annoyed.

Unable to resist Shi Yan's words, he could only "secretly" hide at Shi Hongjian's place to seek "peace and quiet".

Shi Hongjian stood in the cold stream.

The dark gauze skirt hung on the jade branch behind the girl.

Those dark golden eyes, which should have been aloof and cold, flickered with light and shadow as Shi Hongjian watched the girl gently brush against Hanxi's toes.

It is like a finely carved piece of jade.

She blinked.

Shi Hongjian was not a busy man.

At least... if another girl were sitting here, she'd probably just kick her out. Seriously, what does she take Hanxi for?

but--

If it's the teacher's words, then it's fine.

But... even if it's a matter of words, Shi Hongjian will still be firm when it comes to being firm.

"That's upstream."

She slowly moved her gaze upwards and looked at Shi Yan.

Her eyes, as dark as the starry night, were beautiful in the moonlight.

Originally, Shi Hongjian thought that... under such a heavenly tribulation, Shi Yan would surely awaken "a phoenix feather".

In her mind, Shi Hongjian could even picture Shi Yan's beautiful eyes with a touch of dark gold, looking down at the mortal world with disdain.

If it were me from a thousand years ago, I would probably have yelled, "Sister, kill me!"

But... no.

Actually, it's fine without it.

His dark gold eyes were so cold.

It is not appropriate for a teacher to speak.

The art style doesn't quite match Shi Yan's.

In Shi Hongjian's eyes, it's better for girls to be a little softer.

"Hmm?" Shi Yan slowly recovered from his daze and turned his gaze to Shi Hongjian.

Unlike last time.

This time, the water level where Shi Hongjian was located was even deeper.

The stream water almost reached the woman's collarbone, leaving a puddle there.

Even if the water in the cold stream is clear.

Under the cover of moonlight and darkness, Shi Yan couldn't see anything clearly.

But... there's no need to see it clearly.

Sometimes, a half-concealed look is much more alluring than complete honesty; the lake water reflecting the moonlight and rippling like a woman's silk skirt.

After a moment of stunned silence, Shi Yan realized what Shi Hongjian was saying.

She said... she was soaking her feet in her own foot bath water, right?

Thinking this, Shi Yan dipped her toes into the cold stream.

The cold air from Hanxi made Shi Yan unconsciously hunch his shoulders slightly.

The light and shadow in Shi Hongjian's eyes.

She watched Shi Yan step into the stream, and the girl's movements made her want to dive over... grab the girl's ankle, and then pull her into the water.

Shi Hongjian knew that ever since she fell into the water last time, the girl hadn't really liked the cold stream.

If she falls into the water... she will only have herself to rely on, and she will cling to herself like an octopus.

However... Shi Hongjian didn't dare to do that.

Yeah, I didn't dare.

Bullying a teacher might feel good for a moment, but it will lead to disaster later.

Why is Xiao Shiyan hiding here...? The embarrassing situation of the senior sister of the Qinglian Sword Sect and the saintess of the Qinghai Demon Sect at Xingtian Square a few days ago is still fresh in my mind.

Shi Hongjian didn't want to think about the "Enlightenment Conference" ending and her giving rewards to the winners...

The young master deliberately tripped himself up, leaving himself in an awkward and embarrassing situation.

The night wind rustled through the bamboo grove.

Shi Hongjian slowly swam to Shi Yan's side and then grabbed the girl's ankle.

Shi Yan lowered his toes as a gesture of retraction.

But... Shi Hongjian only warmed a little of the "Yuanxun Technique" spiritual energy to help Shi Yan warm his feet, "What are you thinking about?"

"You seem restless these past few days."

Shi Hongjian felt that she had a certain understanding of Shi Yan.

Although this girl seems harmless to the point of being excessively scornful, she is actually quite wild inside.

They dared to barge directly into his own Cold Creek Bamboo House back then.

Even after being caught red-handed, he showed no remorse whatsoever.

She even dared to brazenly come over and ask to stay, wanting him to help her with her cultivation.

It was just Qin Suhuai of the "Azure Lotus Sword Sect" and Wen Ruya of the "Love Sea Demon Sect".

I won't let her be so upset.

Back then, all of Shi Hongjian's actions at the "Kyushu Passenger Transport Center" were under her watchful eye.

The "Love Sea Demon Sect" and the "Taiyi Sect" arrived in a flying maiden.

Shi Yan, however, was unaware of the news.

It was only through her behind-the-scenes manipulation that this was achieved.

Half-submerged in the water, Shi Hongjian looked at Shi Yan.

"Sister Chieftain..."

"You experienced the war between immortals and demons a thousand years ago, right?" To Shi Hongjian's surprise, Shi Yan raised this question.

She frowned slightly and gently rubbed the edge of Shi Yan's toes.

"Yes……"
