After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Before I went to sleep yesterday... I was just...

Cough cough--

In short, everything happened on its own after I fell asleep.

I absolutely did not pretend to be asleep to deliberately tease Aya.

Just to see Aya looking like a pitiful little kitten that had fallen into the water.

No--

Absolutely not.

Shi Yan gently touched Wen Ruya's forehead, which even seemed a little cold.

Wen Ruya seemed to slowly come back to her senses, her almost empty eyes gradually focusing on Shi Yan.

She snapped out of her almost meditative state and nestled in Shi Yan's arms, letting out a long breath.

"Hiss..." A low gasp escaped from his chapped lips.

Wen Ruya was almost speechless.

Shi Yan sensed Wen Ruya's condition with some concern.

Wen Ruya seemed to have just taken a strong dose of medicine.

Although his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, the consequence of overdoing the supplements was that it seemed as if even his voice had been silenced.

Shi Yan looked at Wen Ruya.

Upon closer inspection, the dark red palace dress worn by the woman was covered with a faint layer of salt frost.

Wen Ruya lay quietly on Shi Yan's knees, looking as if she didn't even have the strength to move her body.

Shi Yan is very familiar with this situation.

This is due to excessive sweating, which causes the woman's body to become dehydrated, or even severely dehydrated.

Shi Yan took out a small gourd from his storage ring.

The gourd contains the water of the Cold Stream.

She carefully fed Wen Ruya.

Fearing that Wen Ruya wouldn't be able to neutralize the spiritual energy of the cold stream, Shi Yan fed her water while subtly channeling a bit of spiritual energy to neutralize the water.

Wen Ruya has become even more well-behaved.

"Aya, get some rest..." Shi Yan touched Wen Ruya's soft, damp hair on her forehead. "I'll go to the kitchen to cook some savory porridge later."

Let alone respond, Wen Ruya could only cower there, clutching Shi Yan's skirt, finding even nodding difficult.

Actually... if it's just cultivation and keeping watch at night, it's not a big deal.

But... it's really torturous not to disturb Shiyan's rest while practicing cultivation and keeping watch at night.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that each day felt like an eternity.

Even after "Desolate Demon Like Me" lost her power and had to start over... Wen Ruya had never felt this sad.

Shi Yan gently tilted Wen Ruya's head to make her resting position a little more comfortable.

After drinking some water from the cold stream, Wen Ruya's condition finally improved.

The near loss of voice has been alleviated.

Finally, he was able to utter some soft, muffled sounds.

In fact, Shi Yan knew this.

According to Aya's personality, she actually doesn't like salty porridge.

However, if you sweat too much, you need to replenish some salt.

Whether Aya likes it or not is not up to her.

All the teacher could do was cook the porridge to make it more palatable.

As Shi Yan stood up, Wen Ruya tightly gripped the hem of Shi Yan's skirt.

"Aya?" Shi Yan turned to look at the woman kneeling by the bedside.

As Wen Ruya looked at Shi Yan, a light seemed to gradually appear in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something.

The spiritual energy blew through the night, but... he could only watch Shi Yan fall asleep.

More urgent than drinking porridge was something else for Wen Ruya at that moment.

She held her teacher's hand in her slender little hand.

The final of the "Enlightenment Tournament" is in seven days.

However... at the final of the "Enlightenment Tournament", the figure of that Dao Heart Demoness could not be spotted.

Shi Yan sat down next to Shi Wei.

The girl looked clearly a bit sullen.

His dark golden eyes were filled with grievance.

Thinking about it carefully, it's quite normal, and there's no way to criticize the girl for anything.

After all... the place where Shi Yan is resting and staying now actually belongs to Shi Wei.

Despite being the owner of the house, Shi Wei could only "squeeze" into a side room with Shi Hongqi.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly, looking as aggrieved as if she had suffered a great injustice.

“That’s…our own territory.”

"That's... my own Master Yan!"

He lifted the girl's small hand as if he were bullying a puppy and rubbed her palm.

Shi Yan got up and walked towards "Starry Sky Square".

This is now the final round of the "Enlightenment Tournament"—

The girl's figure attracted almost everyone's attention.

The projection above "Starry Sky Plaza" also lit up ahead of time. The slanted projection tracked Shi Yan's slow footsteps, and then gave a big close-up of the girl's smile, which even seemed a little frivolous and disdainful.

Compared to the already renowned Wen Ruya or Qin Suhuai.

Rising stars like Shi Yan suddenly appear out of nowhere.

With overwhelming strength, he stormed into the finals. Moreover... he seemed to have some inexplicable relationships with many beautiful women from all over the land.

It makes it easier for people to follow and admire.

Besides... she's really beautiful.

She has such a beautiful figure that you just want to throw yourself into her arms and enjoy it.

Despite being a sword cultivator, he did not appear weak; he was as delicate as a willow swaying in the breeze.

Instead, it has a unique charm with smooth and beautiful lines.

In addition... because he had a high level of affinity with many of the star officials of the "Star Celestial Bureau", the star official in charge of the projection also took extra care of Shi Yan.

Shi Yan became even more popular.

Ming Zhongqing was already standing in the martial arts arena of "Starry Sky Square" early on.

Compared to when she first saw Ming Zhongqing in Nanjun City, the girl now seemed even more frail.

It really makes you wonder if a gust of wind could knock her down.

Shi Yan looked at Ming Zhongqing, his brows furrowed.

Ming Zhongqing's situation is not optimistic.

Despite his cultivation having "skyrocketed" to the Nascent Soul Realm, his physique... gave Shi Yan the feeling that he was just an ordinary mortal.

They are not even as good as ordinary people with slightly better physical condition.

She truly poured all her cultivation effort into improving her cultivation level.

Even a high-attack, low-defense character shouldn't be this fragile.

Moreover... it's not just about physical constitution.

What worried Shi Yan the most was actually Ming Zhongqing's lifespan.

After entering the Nascent Soul Realm, Shi Yan was also able to vaguely glimpse the destinies of others.

Ming Zhongqing's lifespan...is a real worry for Shi Yan.

Let alone being free from confusion.

Whether she can live past thirty is a matter of concern.

The phrase "the heavens are jealous of talent" is perfectly exemplified in her work.

According to Ming Zhongqing herself, everything is still under her control.

The reason things have turned out this way is entirely because she altered the cultivation method, which led to her being "eager for quick success and instant benefits."

“Ming Zhongqing…” Shi Yan frowned as he looked at the girl in front of him.

As if he had already guessed what Shi Yan was going to say, Ming Zhongqing raised a hand towards Shi Yan.

She was about to say something when she suddenly covered her mouth and nose with her other hand, suppressing a low cough.

Ming Zhongqing's cough was a problem he had since the time he was in Nanjun City.

"I'm fine..."

That's what they say.

But... the way the girl looked made it really hard to believe that she was really okay.

"It's best if nothing's wrong." Shi Yan looked at Ming Zhongqing.

"only……"

"If I discover that something is really wrong with your body—"
